         This Amendment No. 31 (this  "Amendment")  is being filed to a Schedule
13D dated  March 1, 1990,  and filed by  Security  Capital  Group  Incorporated,

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This Amendment relates to common shares of beneficial  interest,  $1.00
par value per share (the "Common  Shares"),  of Archstone  Communities  Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company"),  the principal  executive
offices of which are at 7670 South Chester  Street,  Englewood,  Colorado 80112.
The Company was formerly known as Security Capital Pacific Trust.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Except as described  below,  there are no other  changes to report from
the responses previously provided in response to this Item requirement.

     On  November  8,  2000,  Security  Capital  caused  the  Company  to file a
registration  statement on Form S-3 to register with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") all 35,471,214 Common Shares of the Company owned by Security
Capital.  The  registration  statement  was  declared  effective  by the  SEC on
November 22, 2000.

     On November 30, 2000,  Security  Capital agreed to sell to an institutional
investor  3,750,000  Common Shares at a price of $23.125 per share,  pursuant to
the  registration  statement.  The sale was a privately  negotiated  transaction
between  Security  Capital  and  the  purchaser.  No  commissions  were  paid in
connection with the transaction. The transaction settled on December 5, 2000.

     Security Capital currently owns 31,721,214 Common Shares, or 25.933% of the
outstanding Common Shares.

         Security  Capital  intends to maintain  its  position as the  principal
shareholder  of the  Company and intends to continue to play a major role in the
direction of the Company for the purpose of maximizing  the value of the Company
so long as Security Capital continues to own its Common Shares.


         Except as set forth in this Item 4, Security  Capital  presently has no
plans or  proposals  which  relate to or would  result in any of the actions set
forth in parts (a) through (j) of Item 4  of  Schedule 13D. Security Capital may
at  any  time  reconsider  and  change  its  plans  or proposals relating to the
foregoing.



ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a),(b) The  following  table sets  forth,  as of November  30,  2000,  the
beneficial  ownership  of Common  Shares for each person named in Item 2. Unless
otherwise indicated in the footnotes, each such person has sole power to vote or
to direct the vote and sole power to dispose or direct the  disposition  of such
Common Shares.
