CRLP's executive offices are located at 2101 Sixth Avenue North, Suite
750, Birmingham, Alabama, 35203 and its telephone number is (205) 250-8700. CRLP
was formed in Delaware on August 6, 1993.

Formation of the Company and the Operating Partnership

The Company and the Operating Partnership were formed to succeed to
substantially all of the interests of Colonial Properties, Inc., an Alabama
corporation ("Colonial"), its affiliates and certain other entities in a
diversified portfolio of multifamily, office, and retail properties located in
Alabama, Florida, and Georgia and to the development, acquisition, management,
leasing, and brokerage businesses of Colonial.

On September 29, 1993, (i) the Company consummated an initial public
offering (the "IPO") of 8,480,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest,
$.01 par value per share ("Common Shares"), (ii) the Operating Partnership
assumed ownership of 36 Properties (or interests therein) held by Thomas H.
Lowder, James K. Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, and their mother, Catherine Lowder
(the "Lowder family"), and third-party partners of the Lowder family, and the
operating businesses of Colonial, (iii) the Company transferred the net proceeds
from the IPO through Colonial Properties Holding Company, Inc. ("CPHC"), which
was dissolved in 1998, to the Operating Partnership, in exchange for 8,480,000
units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units"),
(iv) the Operating Partnership repaid approximately $150.2 million of
indebtedness and prepayment penalties associated therewith secured by certain of
the Properties, and (v) the Operating Partnership established a $35.0 million
line of credit with SouthTrust Bank, which has since been increased to $300.0
million, to fund development activities and property acquisitions and for
general corporate purposes (collectively, the "Formation Transactions"). On
October 28, 1993, the underwriters of the IPO exercised an over-allotment option
to purchase an additional 686,200 shares.

Recent Developments

Since the IPO, CRLP has significantly expanded its portfolio of
Properties and its operating businesses. Acquisitions by CRLP of new properties
represent a total investment of over $1.3 billion. Since the IPO, CRLP has also
completed the expansion and development of 23 multifamily properties, adding a
total of 5,326 units to its multifamily portfolio, three Office Properties,
adding a total of 442,792 square feet, and three Retail Properties, which added
711,197 square feet to its retail portfolio. CRLP currently has three active
development and redevelopment projects in progress for Multifamily Properties,
one Office Property development, and two Retail Property redevelopments. CRLP
has also disposed of 18 Multifamily Properties representing 5,667 apartment
units, one Office Property representing 25,000 square feet of office space, one
Retail Property representing 165,684 square feet of retail space, and has
entered into four joint ventures, since the IPO.

The following is a summary of CRLP's acquisition, disposition, joint
venture, and development activity in 2000.

Acquisition and Disposition Activity

CRLP disposed of five Multifamily Properties, including four in Alabama
and one in Florida, representing 1,132 units for a total sale price of $51.9
million. Additionally, CRLP disposed of one Retail Property located in Virginia,
representing 165,684 square feet for a total sale price of $9.4 million.

CRLP also added 575,127 square feet of retail shopping space through
the acquisition of an enclosed mall at a net cost of $25.4 million.

Joint Ventures

During the third quarter of 2000, CRLP entered into a second joint
venture with CMS, a Delaware general partnership to which CRLP sold four
Multifamily Properties for $35.4 million. CMS has an 85% interest in the joint
venture while CRLP has a 15% interest in the joint venture and serves as manager
of the properties. At December 31, 2000, CRLP had an ending net investment in
the joint venture of $1.0 million.

Development Activity

During 2000, CRLP completed development and expansion of 1,852 new
apartment units in six multifamily communities and acquired land on which it
intends to develop additional multifamily communities during 2001 and 2002. The
aggregate cost of this multifamily development activity during 2000 was $41.6
million. As of December 31, 2000, CRLP had 984 apartment units in three
multifamily communities under development or redevelopment. Management
anticipates that the three multifamily projects will be completed during 2001.
Management expects to invest an additional $43.4 million over this period to
complete these multifamily projects.

During 2000, CRLP completed development and redevelopment of two office
properties, and began development of one office property. The aggregate
investment in the office developments during 2000 was $28.7 million. Management
estimates that it will invest an additional $17.6 million to complete these
projects.

During 2000, CRLP completed development of three community shopping
centers and continued the redevelopment of an enclosed mall and community
shopping center. The aggregate investment in the retail developments during 2000
was $44.9 million. Management anticipates that it will invest an additional
$44.1 million to complete the retail redevelopments.

Debt Offerings

Gross
Type of Proceeds
Date Note Maturity Rate (in thousands)
- ----------------- ------------------- -------------------------- ---------------
February Medium-term February, 2005 8.82% $ 25,000
February Medium-term February, 2010 8.80% 20,000
March Medium-term March, 2010 8.80% 5,000
December Medium-term December, 2010 8.08% 10,000
December Medium-term December, 2010 8.05% 10,000

During March 2000, CRLP increased the borrowing capacity under its
unsecured line of credit from $250 million to $300 million. The credit facility,
which is used by CRLP primarily to finance additional property investments,
bears interest at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, is renewable in March 2003, and
provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal. The line of
credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP to
convert up to $150 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed
term not to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 2000, the balance outstanding on
CRLP's line of credit was $214.4 million.

Business Strategy

The general business strategy of the Company and CRLP is to generate
stable and increasing cash flow and portfolio value for its shareholders and
unitholders. The Company and CRLP has implemented this strategy principally by
(i) realizing growth in income from its existing portfolio of properties, (ii)
developing, expanding, and selectively acquiring additional multifamily, office,
and retail properties in growth markets located in the Sunbelt region of the
United States, where the Company and CRLP has first-hand knowledge of growth
patterns and local economic conditions, (iii) managing its own properties, which
has enabled it to better control operating expenses and establish long-term
relationships with its office and retail tenants, (iv) maintaining its
third-party property management business, which has increased cash flow and
established additional relationships with tenants, and (v) employing a
comprehensive capital maintenance program to maintain properties in first-class
condition. The Company and CRLP's business strategy and the implementation of
that strategy are determined by the Company's board of trustees and may be
changed from time to time.

Financing Strategy

CRLP's strategy is to maintain coverage ratios in order to sustain its
investment grade status. CRLP's total market capitalization as of December 31,
2000, was $2.2 billion, and its ratio of debt to total market capitalization was
52.7%. We calculate debt to total market capitalization as total debt as a
percentage of total debt, including preferred units, plus the market value of
our outstanding common shares of beneficial interest and the outstanding units.
At December 31, 2000, CRLP's total debt of $1.18 billion included fixed-rate
debt of $1.04 billion, or 87.9% of total debt, and floating-rate debt of $143.0
million, or 12.1% of total debt. Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain
restrictive covenants, which among other things require maintenance of various
financial ratios. At December 31, 2000, CRLP was in compliance with these
covenants.

CRLP entered into several different hedging transactions in an effort
to manage exposure to changes in interest rates. As a matter of policy, CRLP
never engages in speculative hedging, but uses plain vanilla type,
over-the-counter derivative instruments that are commonly used by public
companies in corporate America to meet similar hedging objectives.

On February 10, 2000, CRLP entered into two interest-rate swap
agreements on $50 million of its' medium term notes. Under the terms of the
agreements, CRLP received a fixed interest rate of 7.37% and was required to pay
one- month LIBOR. On October 25, 2000, CRLP terminated the swap agreements and
received $1.5 million. This premium will be amortized over the remaining term of
the notes. An interest rate swap in the amount of $125 million is in place on
CRLP's line of credit effective October 25, 2000. The swap fixes the rate on the
floating-line for one year at a rate of 7.66%.

To reduce interest costs and to take advantage of the favorable
interest rate environment, CRLP engaged in an interest rate swap agreement on
$30.2 million of amortizing variable rate debt, and fixed the rate on the debt
to 6.79% for five years. In anticipation of a debt offering six months hence,
CRLP entered into a forward-starting swap for $32.5 million, thereby locking in
a fixed rate of 6.20%. Additionally, CRLP purchased an interest rate cap in
order to limit the degree to which interest rates may rise over the next two
years. The cap covers $30.4 million of LIBOR-based debt at 11.20% through June
30, 2003.

CRLP may from time to time reevaluate its borrowing policies in light
of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital,
market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities, and other
factors. CRLP may modify its borrowing policy and may increase or decrease its
ratio of debt to total market capitalization. To the extent that the board of
trustees of CRLP determines to seek additional capital, CRLP may raise such
capital through additional equity offerings, debt financings, asset
dispositions, or retention of cash flow (subject to provisions in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") requiring the distribution by a
REIT of a certain percentage of taxable income and taking into account taxes
that would be imposed on undistributed taxable income) or a combination of these
methods.

Property Management

CRLP is experienced in the management and leasing of multifamily,
office, and retail properties and believes that the management and leasing of
its own portfolio has helped the Properties maintain consistent income growth
and has resulted in reduced operating expenses from the Properties. The
third-party management, leasing, and brokerage businesses conducted through the
Management Corporation have provided CRLP both with a source of cash flow that
is relatively stable and with the benefits of economies of scale in conjunction
with the management and leasing of its own properties. These businesses also
allow CRLP to establish additional relationships with tenants who may require
additional office or retail space and to identify potential acquisitions.

Operational Structure

Multifamily Division--CRLP's multifamily division is responsible for
all aspects of multifamily operations, including day-to-day management and
leasing of the 53 Multifamily Properties, as well as the provision of
third-party management services for apartment communities in which CRLP does not
have an ownership interest or has a non-controlling ownership interest. The
multifamily division utilizes centralized functions of accounting, information
technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for investments
in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also centralized.

Office Division--CRLP's office division is responsible for all aspects
of CRLP's commercial office operations, including the provision of management
and leasing services for the 17 Office Properties, as well as the provision of
third-party management services for office properties in which CRLP does not
have an ownership interest and for brokerage services in other office property
transactions. The office division utilizes centralized functions of accounting,
information technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized.

Retail Division--CRLP's retail division is responsible for all aspects
of CRLP's retail operations, including the provision of management and leasing
services for the 45 Retail Properties, as well as the provision of third-party
management services for retail properties in which CRLP does not have an
ownership interest and for brokerage services in other retail property
transactions. The retail division utilizes centralized functions of accounting,
information technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized.

Employees

CRLP employs approximately 1,000 persons, including on-site property
employees who provide services for the Properties that CRLP owns and/or manages.

Tax Status

CRLP has no provision for income taxes since all taxable income or loss
or tax credits are passed through to the partners. The Company has made an
election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code,
commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1993. If the Company
qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
Federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable
income to its shareholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

RISK FACTORS

Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to investors
who purchase or own our units of limited partnership interest. Our units are
redeemable for cash or, at the election of Colonial Properties Trust, on a
one-for-one basis for Colonial Properties Trust's shares of beneficial interest.

Our assets may not generate sufficient income to pay our expenses, and
we may not be able to control our operating costs

If our assets do not generate income sufficient to pay our expenses and
maintain our properties, or if we do not adequately control our operating costs,
we may not be able to pay our expenses, maintain our properties or service our
debt. A number of factors may adversely affect our ability to generate
sufficient income. These factors include:

o whether or not we can attract tenants at favorable rental rates, which will
depend on several factors, including:

-- local conditions such as an oversupply of, or reduction
in demand for, multifamily, retail or office properties;

-- the attractiveness of our properties to residents,
shoppers and tenants, and

-- decreases in market rental rates;

o our ability to collect rent from our tenants.

Factors that may adversely affect our operating costs include:

o the need to pay for insurance and other operating costs, including real
estate taxes, which could increase over time;

o the need periodically to repair, renovate and relet space;

o the cost of compliance with governmental regulation, including zoning
and tax laws;

o the potential for liability under applicable laws;

o interest rate levels; and

o the availability of financing.

Our expenses may remain constant even if our revenues decrease

The expense of owning and operating a property is not necessarily reduced
when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in
income from the property. As a result, if revenues drop, we may not be able to
reduce our expenses accordingly. Loan payments are an example of a cost that
will not be reduced if our revenues decrease. If a property is mortgaged and we
are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose on the
mortgage and take the property, resulting in a further reduction in revenues.

We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire

If our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, we
may not be able to relet the space. Even if the tenants do renew or we can relet
the space, the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required
renovations, may be less favorable than current lease terms. If we are unable to
renew the leases or relet the space promptly, or if the rental rates upon
renewal or reletting are significantly lower than expected rates, then our cash
flow will be adversely affected.





We depend on local economic conditions in our primary markets

All of our properties are located in the Sunbelt region of the United
States, and 49 of our properties are located in Birmingham and Montgomery,
Alabama, Orlando, Florida and Macon, Georgia. Our performance and ability to pay
our expenses, maintain our properties and service our debt could be adversely
affected by economic conditions in the Sunbelt region and in Birmingham,
Montgomery, Orlando and Macon in particular.

New acquisitions and developments may fail to perform as expected

Assuming we are able to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, we
intend to selectively acquire multifamily, retail or office properties where we
perceive investment opportunities that are consistent with our business
strategies. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected. We may
underestimate the costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to the
standards we have established for its intended market position. In addition, we
may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable
property acquisitions on favorable terms.

Competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for
properties

We expect other major real estate investors with significant capital to
compete with us for attractive investment opportunities. These competitors
include publicly traded REITs, private REITs, investment banking firms and
private institutional investment funds. This competition could increase prices
for multifamily, retail or office properties.

Our development and expansion activities may result in significant
costs, and new properties may be slow to generate income

We intend to continue to develop new properties and expand existing
properties where we believe that development or expansion is consistent with our
business strategies. New projects subject us to a number of risks, including the
risks that:

o construction delays or cost overruns may increase project costs;

o permanent debt or equity financing may not be available on acceptable
terms to finance new development or expansion projects;

o we may fail to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels;

o we may fail to secure required zoning, occupancy or other governmental
permits and authorizations; and

o changes in applicable zoning and land use laws may require us to
abandon projects prior to their completion, resulting in the loss
of development costs incurred up to the time of abandonment.

Because real estate investments are illiquid, we may not be able to
sell properties when appropriate

Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be
able to vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions.
This inability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments could
adversely affect our ability to service our debt.

Environmental problems are possible and can be costly

Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of
the environment may require a current or previous owner or operator of real
property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum
product releases at the property, without regard to whether the owner or
operator knew or caused the presence of the contaminants. If unidentified
environmental problems arise at one of our properties, we may have to make
substantial payments to a governmental entity or third parties for property
damage and for investigation and clean-up costs. Even if more than one person
may have been responsible for the contamination, we may be held responsible for
all of the clean-up costs incurred. Our liability under environmental laws could
adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service our debt.

At one of our properties, the Gadsden Mall in Gadsden, Alabama, four
underground storage tanks were removed in 1989. In connection with the removal
of these gasoline storage tanks, associated petroleum contamination was
discovered in the soil and groundwater. Because the tanks were registered with
the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and the facility was in
compliance with regulations prior to the incident, we have been reimbursed under
the Alabama Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund for the costs incurred to date
in connection with the ongoing cleanup, and we expect to be reimbursed for the
remaining costs as well. We have received a "no further action" letter from the
Alabama Department of Environmental Management.

On December 29, 1998, we acquired Bel Air Mall in Mobile, Alabama. During
the course of our environmental due diligence, we identified several different
areas of the property in which contamination is present. One of those areas
involves drycleaner solvent; the others involve petroleum contamination. The
Alabama Department of Environmental Management is overseeing the investigation
and cleanup of the drycleaner contamination. It is possible that a claim could
be asserted against us, as owner of the property, for the investigation and
remediation of the contamination. Under the terms of the purchase and sale
agreement, the former owner of the property purchased a $10 million insurance
policy and established escrow accounts totaling $1,275,000 to cover the costs
associated with investigating and remediating the contaminated areas. In
addition, subject to limitations, the seller will be performing all required
remediation of the drycleaner contamination.

In December of 2000, an environmental consulting firm performed an
environmental assessment of one of our properties, the Colonial Promenade
Tuskawilla shopping center in Winter Springs, Florida. The environmental
assessment indicated that an area of the property and the groundwater beneath it
was contaminated with drycleaner solvent from a drycleaning facility located on
the property. The environmental consultant has suggested further evaluation of
the property to determine whether the contamination can or should be remediated.
Although the site of the drycleaning facility has been accepted into a
Drycleaner Solvent Cleanup Program funded by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, at this time, we do not know whether the site will be
remediated under this program. It is possible that claims related to the
contamination could be asserted against us, as owner of the property, including
for the investigation and remediation of contamination.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss
insurance on all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and
insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are,
however, certain types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims, that
generally are not insured. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of
insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have
invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the
property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any
mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property.

Debt financing, financial covenants, our degree of leverage and increases in
interest rates could adversely affect our economic performance

Scheduled debt payments could adversely affect our financial condition

Our business is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing.
If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid
with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our
cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt. If
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, such as
the possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans, result
in higher interest rates, increased interest expense would adversely affect cash
flow and our ability to service our debt.

Our obligation to comply with financial covenants in our debt
agreements could restrict our range of operating activities

Our credit facility contains customary restrictions, requirements and other
limitations on our ability to incur debt, including:

o debt to assets ratios;

o secured debt to total assets ratios;

o debt service coverage ratios; and

o minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt.






The indenture under which our senior unsecured debt is issued contains
financial and operating covenants including coverage ratios. Our indenture also
limits our ability to:

o incur secured and unsecured indebtedness;

o sell all or substantially all or our assets; and

o engage in mergers, consolidations and acquisitions.

Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional
financing

Our "debt to market capitalization" ratio, which we calculate as total debt
as a percentage of total debt plus the market value of outstanding units, was
approximately 52.7% as of December 31, 2000. Increases in our leverage could
adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for
working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other
general corporate purposes, and may make us more vulnerable to a downturn in
business or the economy generally.

Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow

Advances under our credit facility bear interest at a rate of 115 basis
points above LIBOR. We may borrow additional money with variable interest rates
in the future, and may enter into other transactions to limit our exposure to
rising interest rates as appropriate and cost effective. Increases in interest
rates, or the loss of the benefits of hedging agreements, would increase our
interest expense, which would adversely affect cash flow and our ability to
service our debt.

Some of our general partner's trustees and officers have conflicts of interest
and could exercise influence in a manner inconsistent with holders of interests
in the Company

As a result of their substantial ownership of units, Messrs. Thomas Lowder,
the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and
James Lowder, Harold Ripps, Herbert Meisler, M. Miller Gorrie, and William
Johnson, each of whom is a trustee of the Company, might seek to exert influence
over our decisions as to sales or refinancings of particular properties we own.
Any such exercise of influence might produce decisions that are not in the best
interest of all of the holders of interests in the Company.

The Lowder family, which includes Thomas and James Lowder, who are
brothers, and their affiliates, holds interests in companies that have performed
construction, management, insurance brokerage and other services with respect to
our properties. These companies may perform similar services for us in the
future. As a result, the Lowder family may realize benefits from transactions
between such companies and the Company that are not realized by other holders of
interests in the Company. In addition, Thomas and James Lowder, as trustees of
the Company, may be in a position to influence the Company to do business with
companies in which the Lowder family has a financial interest. Our policies may
not be successful in eliminating the influence of conflicts. Moreover,
transactions with companies controlled by the Lowder family, if any, may not be
on terms as favorable to us as we could obtain in an arms-length transaction
with a third party.

We are dependent on external sources of capital

To qualify as a REIT, Colonial Properties Trust must distribute to our
shareholders each year at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding any
net capital gain. Because of these distribution requirements, it is not likely
that we will be able to fund all future capital needs from income from
operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party sources of capital,
which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to
third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the
market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future
earnings. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in substantial
dilution of our shareholders' interests, and additional debt financing may
substantially increase our leverage.

We may change our business policies in the future

Our major policies, including our policies with respect to development,
acquisitions, financing, growth, operations, debt capitalization and
distributions, are determined by the Company's board of trustees. Although it
has no present intention to do so, the board may amend or revise these and other
policies from time to time. A change in these policies could adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations or ability to service debt.

Colonial Properties Trust intends to qualify as a REIT, but we cannot guarantee
that it will qualify

We believe that Colonial Properties Trust has qualified for taxation as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended
December 31, 1993. If Colonial Properties Trust qualifies as a REIT, it
generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our income that it
distributes to its shareholders. Colonial Properties Trust plans to continue to
meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT, but it may not qualify. Many of
the REIT requirements are highly technical and complex. The determination that
it is a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances
that may not be totally within its control. For example, to qualify as a REIT,
at least 95% of its gross income must come from sources that are itemized in the
REIT tax laws. Colonial Properties Trust generally is prohibited from owning
more than 10% of the voting securities or more than 10% of the value of the
outstanding securities of any one issuer, subject to certain exceptions,
including an exception with respect to corporations electing to be "taxable REIT
subsidiaries," and it is also required to distribute to shareholders at least
90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains. The fact that it holds
most of its assets through CRLP further complicates the application of the REIT
requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize its REIT
status. Furthermore, Congress and the Internal Revenue Service might make
changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings
that make it more difficult, or impossible, for it to remain qualified as a
REIT. We do not believe, however, that any pending or proposed tax law changes
would jeopardize its REIT status.

If Colonial Properties Trust failed to qualify as a REIT, it would be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the
Internal Revenue Service granted it relief under certain statutory provisions,
it would remain disqualified as a REIT for the four years following the year it
first failed to qualify. If it failed to qualify as a REIT, it would have to pay
significant income taxes and would therefore have less money available for
investments or for distributions to shareholders. This would likely have a
significant adverse affect on the value of its common shares. In addition, it
would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders, but it
would still be required to distribute quarterly substantially all of our net
cash revenues to our unitholders.

Undeveloped Land

CRLP owns various parcels of land, which are held for future
development (collectively, the "Land"). Land adjacent to Multifamily Properties
typically will be considered for potential development of another phase of an
existing Multifamily Property if CRLP determines that the particular market can
absorb additional apartment units. For expansions at Office and Retail
Properties, CRLP owns parcels both contiguous to the boundaries of the
properties, which would accommodate additional office buildings, expansion of
the mall or shopping center, and outparcels which are suitable for restaurants,
financial institutions or free standing retailers.

CRLP believes that the demographic and economic trends and conditions
in the markets where the Properties are located indicate a potential for
continued growth in property net operating income. The Properties are located in
a variety of distinct submarkets within Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. However,
Birmingham, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama, Orlando, Tampa and
Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida, and Macon and Atlanta, Georgia, are CRLP's primary
markets. CRLP believes that its markets in these nine states, which are
characterized by stable and increasing population and employment growth, should
continue to provide a steady demand for multifamily, office, and retail
properties.

Mortgage Financing

Certain of the Properties are subject to mortgage indebtedness. The
Properties whose financial results are consolidated in the financial statements
of CRLP are subject to existing mortgage indebtedness and other notes payable in
an aggregate amount as of December 31, 2000, of approximately $1.18 billion
carrying a weighted average interest rate of 7.40% and a weighted average
maturity of 6.0 years. The mortgage indebtedness on the Properties as of
December 31, 2000, is set forth in the table below:

(1) As noted in the table, certain Properties were developed in phases and
separate mortgage indebtedness may encumber each of the various phases.
In the listing of property names, CG has been used as an abbreviation
for Colonial Grand and CV as an abbreviation for Colonial Village.

(2) The maturity date noted represents the date on which credit enhancement
expires for the tax-exempt municipal bonds put in place as part of the
original financing for the Property. The stated maturity date for the
loans is August 1, 2022.

(3) This line of credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, based
on LIBOR plus a spread of 115 basis points. The facility also includes
a competitive bid feature that allows CRLP to convert up to $150
million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed term not
to exceed 90 days. At December 31, 2000, CRLP had $135.0 million
outstanding under the competitive bid feature.

(4) This credit facility has a term of two years beginning in March 2000
and provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.
Effective October 25, 2000, CRLP entered an interest rate swap
agreement of $125.0 million on its line of credit, which fixes the rate
on the floating line for one year at a rate of 7.66%.

(5) Represents floating rate debt that has been swapped to a fixed rate of
6.59%.








In addition to the foregoing mortgage debt, the ten Multifamily
Properties, one Office Property and three Retail Properties in which CRLP owns
partial interests (and which therefore are not consolidated in the financial
statements of CRLP) also are subject to existing mortgage indebtedness. CRLP's
pro-rata unit of such indebtedness as of December 31, 2000, was $57,815,743,
which carried a weighted average interest rate of 7.12%. The maturity dates of
these loans range from January 15, 2006 and December 1, 2010, and as of December
31, 2000, the loans had a weighted average maturity of 9.5 years.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Neither CRLP nor the Properties are presently subject to any material
litigation nor, to CRLP's knowledge, is any material litigation threatened
against CRLP or the Properties, other than routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business which is expected to be covered by liability
insurance.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to CRLP's unitholders during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder
Matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Units. As of
March 12, 2000, there were 119 holders of record of Units.

CRLP has made consecutive quarterly distributions since its formation
in the third quarter of 1993. CRLP's ability to make distributions depends on a
number of factors, including its net cash provided by operating activities,
capital commitments and debt repayment schedules. Holders of Units are entitled
to receive distributions when, as and if declared by the Board of Trustees of
the Company, its general partner, out of any funds legally available for that
purpose.

The following table sets forth the distributions per Unit paid by CRLP
during the periods noted:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

GENERAL

CRLP is the operating partnership the Company, whose shares are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange. The Company is engaged in the ownership, development,
management, and leasing of multifamily communities, office buildings, retail
malls and shopping centers. The Company owns and operates properties in nine
states in the Sunbelt region of the United States. As of December 31, 2000,
CRLP's real estate portfolio consisted of 53 multifamily communities, 17 office
properties, and 45 retail properties.

CRLP manages its business with three separate and distinct operating divisions:
Multifamily, Office, and Retail. Each division has an Executive Vice President
that oversees growth and operations and has a separate management team that is
responsible for acquiring, developing, and leasing properties within each
division. This structure allows Colonial to utilize specialized management
personnel for each operating division. Although these divisions operate
independently from one another, constant communication among the Executive Vice
Presidents provides CRLP with unique synergy allowing CRLP to take advantage of
a variety of investment opportunities.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing
elsewhere in this report. As used herein, the terms "Colonial" or "CRLP"
includes Colonial Properties Trust, and one or more of its subsidiaries
including, among others, CRLP.

Any statement contained in this report which is not a historical fact, or which
might be otherwise considered an opinion or projection concerning CRLP or its
business, whether express or implied, is meant as, and should be considered, a
forward-looking statement as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Forward-looking statements are based upon
assumptions and opinions concerning a variety of known and unknown risks,
including but not limited to changes in market conditions, the supply and demand
for leasable real estate, interest rates, increased competition, changes in
governmental regulations, and national and local economic conditions generally,
as well as other risks more completely described in CRLP's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these assumptions or opinions
prove incorrect, any forward-looking statements made on the basis of such
assumptions or opinions may also prove materially incorrect in one or more
respects.

Results of Operations--2000 vs. 1999

In 2000, CRLP experienced growth in revenues and operating expenses, which is
the result of the acquisition and development of 16 properties and the expansion
of 4 properties during 2000 and 1999, net of the disposition of 13 properties
during 2000 and 1999. As a result of the acquisitions, developments, expansions,
and dispositions, CRLP's income from operations increased by $8.5 million, or
6.4%, for 2000 when compared to 1999. On a per share basis, net income is $1.82
for 2000, a 0.6% decrease, compared to $1.83 for 1999. The decrease in net
income available to common shareholders, on a per share basis, is directly
attributable to the increase in depreciation expense as a result of the
acquisition, development, and expansion of 20 properties in 2000 and 1999.

Revenues--Total revenues increased by $20.1 million, or 7.1%, during 2000 when
compared to 1999. Of this increase, $ 16.6 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired, developed, or expanded during 2000 and 1999,
net of properties disposed. The remaining increase primarily relates to
increases in rental rates at existing properties and lease buyouts during 2000.
The retail division accounts for the majority of the overall revenue increase,
approximately $10.5 million, while the office and multifamily divisions account
for $9.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The divisional revenue growth
is primarily attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 12
multifamily properties, 4 office properties, and 4 retail properties, net of the
disposition of 12 multifamily properties and one retail property during 2000 and
1999.

Operating Expenses--Total operating expenses increased by $11.6 million, or
7.7%, during 2000 when compared to 1999. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $3.6 million and additional
depreciation of $4.1 million associated with properties that were acquired,
developed, or expanded during 2000 and 1999, net of operating expenses of
properties disposed of during 2000 and 1999. Depreciation expense on existing
properties increased by $2.6 million during 2000 when compared to 1999.
Divisional property operating expenses increased by $0.9 million, $4.4 million,
and $5.4 million for the multifamily, office, and retail divisions,
respectively, during 2000 when compared to 1999. The increase in divisional
property operating expenses is primarily attributable to the acquisition,
development, and expansion of 12 multifamily properties, 4 office properties,
and 4 retail properties, net of the disposition of 12 multifamily properties and
one retail property during 2000 and 1999. The remaining change primarily relates
to increases in operating expenses at existing properties.

Other Income and Expenses--Interest expense increased by $14.6 million, or
25.6%, during 2000 when compared to 1999. The increase in interest expense is
primarily attributable to the issuance of $152.5 million in Medium Term Notes
during 2000 and 1999, and the increased usage of CRLP's line of credit in
conjunction with the financing of acquisitions, developments, expansions, and
investment activities.

Results of Operations--1999 vs. 1998

In 1999, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net
income, which is the result of the acquisition and development of 21 properties
and the expansion of 6 properties during 1999 and 1998. As a result of the
acquisitions, developments, and expansions, CRLP's net income before dividends
to preferred shareholders increased by $5.6 million, or 11.1%, for 1999 when
compared to 1998. On a per share basis, net income is $1.83 for 1999, a 15.1%
increase, compared to $1.59 for 1998. The increase in net income available to
common shareholders, on a per share basis, is directly attributable to the
acquisition, development, and expansion of properties.

Revenues--Total revenues increased by $25.0 million, or 9.7%, during 1999 when
compared to 1998. Of this increase, $ 18.1 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired, developed, or expanded during 1999 and 1998.
The remaining increase primarily relates to increases in rental rates at
existing properties and lease buyouts during 1999. The multifamily division
accounts for the majority of the overall revenue increase, approximately $11.3
million, while the office and retail divisions account for $6.4 million and $7.3
million, respectively. The divisional revenue growth is primarily attributable
to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 15 multifamily properties, 8
office properties, and 4 retail properties during 1999 and 1998.

Operating Expenses--Total operating expenses increased by $12.8 million, or
9.4%, during 1999 when compared to 1998. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $3.5 million and additional
depreciation of $3.9 million associated with properties that were acquired,
developed, or expanded during 1999 and 1998, net of operating expenses of
properties disposed of during 1998. Depreciation expense on existing properties
increased by $2.2 million during 1999 when compared to 1998. Divisional property
operating expenses increased by $7.2 million, $3.4 million, and $1.3 million for
the multifamily, office, and retail divisions, respectively, during 1998 when
compared to 1998. The increase in divisional property operating expenses is
primarily attributable to the acquisition and development of 15 multifamily
properties, 8 office properties, and 4 retail properties during 1999 and 1998.
The remaining change primarily relates to increases in operating expenses at
existing properties, and overall increases in corporate overhead and personnel
costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses--Interest expense increased by $5.1 million, or 9.9%,
during 1999 when compared to 1998. The increase in interest expense is primarily
attributable to the issuance of $82.5 million in Medium Term Notes, and the
increased usage of CRLP's line of credit in conjunction with the financing of
acquisitions, developments, expansions, and investment activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2000, CRLP invested $125.3 million in the acquisition, development, and
expansion of properties. This acquisition and development activity increased
CRLP's multifamily, office, and retail property holdings. CRLP financed the
growth through proceeds from public offerings of debt totaling $70.0 million
during 2000, advances on its bank line of credit, the issuance of limited
partnership units in CRLP, the proceeds from joint ventures, disposition of
assets, and cash from operations.

During 1999, the Board of Trustees of Colonial Properties Trust authorized a
common unit repurchase program under which CRLP may repurchase up to $150
million of its currently outstanding common units from time to time at the
discretion of management in open market and negotiated transactions. During
2000, CRLP repurchased 1,370,424 units at an all in cost of $37.9 million, which
represents an average purchase price of $27.66 per unit. To date, CRLP has
repurchased 5,983,239 units at an all-in cost of approximately $160 million,
which represents an average purchase price of $26.75. These units are included
within treasury stock, which is a reduction of unitholders' equity. 425,925 of
the units repurchased were reissued to the Board of Trustees and certain members
of management through the Executive Unit Purchase Program. (See Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements)

Acquisition and Development Activities

Multifamily Properties--During 2000, CRLP completed development of 1,022
apartment units in 5 multifamily communities and acquired land on which it
intends to develop additional multifamily communities during 2000. The aggregate
investment in the multifamily developments during 2000 was $41.6 million. As of
December 31, 2000, CRLP has 984 apartment units in three multifamily communities
under development or redevelopment. Management anticipates that the three
multifamily projects will be completed during 2001. Management estimates that it
will invest an additional $43.4 million to complete these multifamily
communities.

Office Properties--During 2000, CRLP increased its office portfolio by 163,252
square feet with the development of one office building, and completed the
redevelopment of another office building. In addition, CRLP began development on
one office property in Orlando, Florida. The aggregate investment in the office
developments during 2000 was $28.7 million. Management estimates that it will
invest an additional $17.6 million to complete this property.

Retail Properties--During 2000, CRLP added 575,127 square feet of retail
shopping space through the acquisition of an enclosed mall at a net cost of
$25.4 million, and 711,197 square feet as a result of the development of 3
retail properties. In addition, CRLP continued the redevelopment of an enclosed
mall and community shopping center. The aggregate investment in the retail
developments during 2000 was $44.9 million. Management anticipates that it will
invest an additional $47.7 million to complete the retail redevelopments.

Joint Ventures

During 1999, CRLP entered into a joint venture with CMS (CMS/Colonial Joint
Venture I). In connection with this joint venture, CRLP sold the following six
properties: Colonial Village at Stockbridge, Colonial Grand at Barrington Club,
Colonial Grand at Ponte Vedra, Colonial Village at River Hills, Colonial Grand
at Mountain Brook, and Colonial Village at Cahaba Heights. CMS acquired an 85%
interest in the joint venture from CRLP for $80.6 million. CRLP acquired a 15%
interest in the joint venture and will serve as manager of the properties.
Subsequent to formation, the joint venture leveraged the properties for a total
of $73.6 million of non-recourse notes, and the proceeds were distributed
proportionately to the joint venture partners. At December 31, 1999 and 2000,
CRLP had an ending net investment in the joint venture of $2.8 million and $2.4
million, respectively. The joint venture is accounted for using the equity
method.

During 2000, CRLP entered into a second joint venture with CMS (CMS/Colonial
Joint Venture II). In connection with this joint venture, CRLP sold the
following four properties: Colonial Grand at Inverness Lakes, Colonial Village
at Inverness Lakes, Colonial Village at Hillwood, and Colonial Village at Rocky
Ridge. CMS acquired an 85% interest in the joint venture from CRLP for $35.4
million. CRLP acquired a 15% interest in the joint venture and will serve as
manager of the properties. At December 31, 2000, CRLP had an ending net
investment in the joint venture of $1.0 million. The joint venture is accounted
for using the equity method.

Financing Activities

CRLP funded a large portion of its acquisitions, developments, and expansions
through the issuance of debt securities. During 2000, CRLP completed the
following debt transactions:

Debt Offerings

Gross
Type of Proceeds
Date Note Maturity Rate (in thousands)
- ----------------- --------------- -------------------------- ----------------
February, 2000 Medium-term February, 2005 8.82% $ 25,000
February, 2000 Medium-term February, 2010 8.80% 20,000
March, 2000 Medium-term March, 2010 8.80% 5,000
December, 2000 Medium-term December, 2010 8.08% 10,000
December, 2000 Medium-term December, 2010 8.05% 10,000

During March 2000, CRLP increased the borrowing capacity under its unsecured
line of credit from $250 million to $300 million. The credit facility, which is
used by CRLP primarily to finance additional property investments, bears
interest at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, is renewable in March 2003, and
provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal. The line of
credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP to
convert up to $150 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed
term not to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 2000, the balance outstanding on
CRLP's line of credit was $214.4 million.

At December 31, 2000, CRLP's total outstanding debt balance was $1.18 billion.
The outstanding balance includes fixed rate debt of $1.04 billion, or 87.9%, and
floating-rate debt of $143.0 million, or 12.1%. CRLP's total market
capitalization as of December 31, 2000 was $2.2 billion and its ratio of debt to
total market capitalization was 52.7%. Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain
restrictive covenants, which among other things require maintenance of various
financial ratios. At December 31, 2000, CRLP was in compliance with these
covenants.

CRLP entered into several different hedging transactions in an effort to manage
exposure to changes in interest rates. As a matter of policy, CRLP never engages
in speculative hedging, uses plain vanilla type, over-the-counter derivative
instruments that are commonly used by public companies in corporate America to
meet similar hedging objectives.

On February 10, 2000, CRLP entered into two interest-rate swap agreements on $50
million of its' medium term notes. Under the terms of the agreements, CRLP
received a fixed interest rate of 7.37% and was required to pay one- month
LIBOR. On October 25, 2000, CRLP terminated the swap agreements and received
$1.5 million. This premium will be amortized over the term of the notes. An
interest rate swap in the amount of $125 million is in place on CRLP's line of
credit effective October 25, 2000. The swap fixes the rate on the floating-line
for one year at a rate of 7.66%.

To reduce interest costs and to take advantage of the favorable interest rate
environment, CRLP engaged in an interest rate swap agreement on $30.2 million of
amortizing variable rate debt, and fixed the rate on the debt to 6.79% for five
years. In anticipation of a debt offering six months hence, CRLP entered into a
forward-starting swap for $32.5 million, thereby locking in a fixed rate of
6.20%. Additionally, CRLP purchased an interest rate cap in order to limit the
degree to which interest rates may rise over the next two years. The cap covers
$30.4 million of LIBOR-based debt at 11.20% through June 30, 2003.

CRLP is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties to its interest rate cap and nonderivative financial assets but
has no off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. CRLP anticipates,
however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations
under the contracts. CRLP does not obtain collateral or other security to
support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit
standing of counterparties.

OUTLOOK

Management intends to maintain CRLP's strength through continued
diversification, while pursuing acquisitions and developments that meet CRLP's
criteria for property quality, market strength, and investment return.
Management will continue to use its line of credit to provide short-term
financing for acquisition, development, and expansion activities and plans to
continue to replace significant borrowings under the bank line of credit with
funds generated from the sale of additional equity securities and permanent
financing, as market conditions permit. Management believes that these potential
sources of funds, along with the possibility of issuing limited partnership
units in exchange for properties, will provide CRLP with the means to finance
additional acquisitions, developments, and expansions.

In addition to the issuance of equity and debt, management is investigating
alternate financing methods and sources to raise future capital. Private
placements, joint ventures, and non-traditional equity and debt offerings are
some of the alternatives CRLP is contemplating. CRLP continues to work
diligently to improve its credit rating, in order to reduce its cost of raising
future capital.

Management anticipates that its net cash provided by operations and its existing
cash balances will provide the necessary funds on a short- and long- term basis
to cover its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness,
recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to shareholders in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts.

INFLATION

Leases at the multifamily properties generally provide for an initial term of
six months to one year and allow for rent adjustments at the time of renewal.
Leases at the office properties typically provide for rent adjustments and the
pass-through of certain operating expenses during the term of the lease.
Substantially all of the leases at the retail properties provide for the
pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes,
common area maintenance expenses, and insurance. All of these provisions permit
CRLP to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to rising
prices and, therefore, serve to minimize CRLP's exposure to the adverse effects
of inflation.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

CRLP is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its
line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital
expenditures and expansion of the CRLP's real estate investment portfolio and
operations. CRLP's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the
impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower it's
overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, CRLP borrows primarily at
fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest
rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk
on a related financial instrument. CRLP does not enter into derivative or
interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The table below presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates,
fair values and other terms required by year of expected maturity to evaluate
the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Also included
is a summary of the CRLP's swap contracts and rate caps at December 31, 2000.

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December
31, 2000; it does not consider those exposures or positions, which could arise
after that date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the
table above, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As
a result, CRLP's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate
fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, CRLP's
hedging strategies at that time, and interest rates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization - Colonial Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership" or "CRLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on August 6,
1993, to succeed as owner of substantially all of the predecessor interest of
Colonial Properties, Inc. (CPI), Equity Partners Joint Venture, and Colonial
Properties Management Association, and certain real estate interest of Thomas H.
Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, James K. Lowder, Catherine K. Lowder, and the Bellwood
Trust (collectively referred to as the Colonial Group for purposes of these
financial statements). CRLP is the operating partnership of Colonial Properties
Trust, an Alabama real estate investment trust (the "Company") whose shares are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). CRLP is engaged in the
ownership, development, management, and leasing of multifamily housing
communities, retail malls and centers, and office buildings. Certain parcels of
land are also included.

Federal Income Tax Status -No provision for income taxes is provided
since all taxable income or loss or tax credits are passed through to the
partners. The Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax
purposes, qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal
income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income tax to
the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. REITs are
subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the
Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be
subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the Operating Partnership and Colonial Properties Services Limited
Partnership (in which CRLP holds 99% general and limited partner interests).

Investments in Partially Owned Entities - Partnerships and corporations
in which CRLP owns a 50% or less interest and does not control are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements as investments accounted for under the
equity method. Under this method the investment is carried at cost plus or minus
equity in undistributed earnings or losses since the date of acquisition.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Land, Buildings, and Equipment--Land, buildings, and equipment is
stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated depreciation, or net realizable
value. CRLP reviews its long-lived assets and certain intangible assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset's fair value.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during
the sale period, which is not expected to be greater than one year. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, which range from 7 to 40 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred. Replacements and improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. When items
of land, buildings, or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is
included in the results of operations.

Undeveloped Land and Construction in Progress--Undeveloped land and
construction in progress is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
CRLP capitalizes all costs associated with land development and construction.

Capitalization of Interest--CRLP capitalizes interest during periods in
which property is undergoing development activities necessary to prepare the
asset for its intended use.

Cash and Equivalents--CRLP includes highly liquid marketable securities
and debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less in cash
equivalents.

Restricted Cash--Cash which is legally restricted as to use consists
primarily of tenant deposits.

Deferred Debt and Lease Costs--Amortization of debt costs is recorded
using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest
method, over the terms of the related debt. Direct leasing costs are amortized
using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.

Derivatives--CRLP has certain involvement with derivative financial
instruments but does not use them for trading purposes. Interest rate cap
agreements and interest rate swaps are used to reduce the potential impact of
increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt. Premiums paid for purchased
interest rate cap agreements are amortized to expense over the terms of the
caps. Unamortized premiums are included in other assets in the balance sheets.
Amounts receivable under cap agreements are accrued as a reduction of interest
expense. Payments under interest rate swap agreements are recognized as
adjustments to interest expense as incurred. Treasury lock agreements are used
by CRLP to set interest rates in anticipation of public debt offerings. Any
gains or losses related to treasury locks are included in deferred debt and
lease cost on the balance sheet and amortized over the life of the related debt
to the extent that such treasury locks are utilized. All unutilized treasury
locks are expensed when their future utility expires. All treasury locks were
utilized during 2000 and 1999.

Revenue Recognition--Rental income attributable to leases is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Certain leases contain
provisions for additional rent based on a percentage of tenant sales. Percentage
rents are recognized in the period in which sales thresholds are met. Recoveries
from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other property operating expenses are
recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

Net Income Per Unit--Basic net income per unit is calculated by
dividing the net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average
numbers of common units outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per
unit is calculated by dividing the net income available to common unitholders by
the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the periods,
adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive unit options.

Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting--Reportable segments are identified based upon
management's approach for making operating decisions and assessing performance
of CRLP.

Software Development--CRLP capitalizes certain internally developed
software costs. Capitalized internal software development costs are amortized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software.

Common Unit Repurchases--During 1999, the Board of Trustees of the
Company authorized a common unit repurchase program under which CRLP may
repurchase up to $150 million of its currently outstanding common units from
time to time at the discretion of management in open market and negotiated
transactions. During 2000, CRLP repurchased 1,370,424 units at an all in cost of
$37.9 million, which represents an average purchase price of $27.66 per unit. To
date, CRLP has repurchased 5,983,239 units at an all-in cost of approximately
$160 million, which represents an average purchase price of $26.75. These units
are included within treasury stock, which is a reduction of unitholders' equity.
Approximately $10.0 million, or 425,925 of the units repurchased were reissued
to the Board of Trustees and certain members of management through the Executive
Unit Purchase Program (See Note 10).

Reclassifications--Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made
to the 1998 and 1999 financial statements in order to conform them to the 2000
financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on
partners' capital or net income.

dispositions included Colonial Grand at Inverness Lakes, Colonial Village at
Inverness Lakes, Colonial Village at Hillwood, Colonial Village at Rocky Ridge,
Colonial Grand at Palm Aire, and Colonial Promenade Abingdon. The multifamily
and retail properties were sold for a total purchase price of $67.6 million, of
which $17.3 million was used to repay four secured loans, $7.2 million was
issued as a note receivable, and remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion
of the borrowings under CRLP's unsecured line of credit, fund additional
acquisitions, and to support CRLP's future investment activities.

During 2000, CRLP sold four of these properties to a joint venture
formed by CRLP and an unrelated party. CRLP retained a 15% interest in the joint
venture and serves as manager of the properties. CRLP accounts for its 15%
interest in this joint venture as an equity investment (see Note 6).

representing 2,319 units, which included Colonial Grand at Kirkman, Colonial
Village at Stockbridge, Colonial Grand at Barrington Club, Colonial Grand at
Ponte Vedra, Colonial Village at River Hills, Colonial Grand at Mountain Brook,
and Colonial Village at Cahaba Heights. The properties were sold for a total
purchase price of $119.8 million, of which $15.0 million was used to repay two
secured loans, and the remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the
borrowings under CRLP's unsecured line of credit, fund additional acquisitions,
and to support CRLP's future investment activities.

During 1999, CRLP sold six of these properties to a joint venture
formed by CRLP and an unrelated party. CRLP retained a 15% interest in the joint
venture and serves as manager of the properties. CRLP accounts for its 15%
interest in this joint venture as an equity investment (see Note 6).

During 1998, CRLP sold Orlando Fashion Square to a joint venture
equally owned by CRLP and an unrelated party. Proceeds received from this
contribution were used to fund additional acquisitions and developments. CRLP
accounts for its 50% interest in this joint venture as an equity investment (see
Note 6).

7. Segment Information

CRLP is organized into, and manages its business based on the
performance of three separate and distinct operating divisions: Multifamily,
Office, and Retail. Each division has a separate management team that is
responsible for acquiring, developing, managing, and leasing properties within
each division. The applicable accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to
them based on net operating income (NOI). NOI consists of revenues in excess of
general operating expenses, salaries and wages, repairs and maintenance, taxes,
licenses, and insurance. Segment information for the years ended December 31,
2000, 1999, and 1998 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2000, CRLP has an unsecured bank line of credit providing for
total borrowings of up to $300 million. This line of credit agreement bears
interest at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, is renewable in March 2003, and
provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal. The line of
credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP to
convert up to $150 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed
term not to exceed 90 days. The credit facility is primarily used by CRLP to
finance property acquisitions and development and has an outstanding balance at
December 31, 2000, of $214.4 million. The interest rate of this short-term
borrowing facility, including the competitive bid balance, is 7.66% and 7.43% at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

During 2000 and 1999, CRLP completed seven public offerings of
unsecured medium term debt securities totaling $152.5 million through its
subsidiary CRLP. The proceeds of the offerings were used to fund acquisitions,
development expenditures, repay balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit
facility, repay certain notes and mortgages payable, and for general corporate
purposes. Details relating to these debt offerings are as follows:

CRLP entered into several different hedging transactions in an effort
to manage exposure to changes in interest rates. As a matter of policy, CRLP
never engages in speculative hedging, but uses plain vanilla type,
over-the-counter derivative instruments that are commonly used by public
companies in corporate America to meet similar hedging objectives.

On February 10, 2000, CRLP entered into two interest-rate swap
agreements on $50 million of its' medium term notes. Under the terms of the
agreements, CRLP received a fixed interest rate of 7.37% and was required to pay
one- month LIBOR. On October 25, 2000, CRLP terminated the swap agreements and
received $1.5 million. This premium will be amortized over the term of the
notes. An interest rate swap in the amount of $125 million is in place on CRLP's
line of credit effective October 25, 2000. The swap fixes the rate on the
floating-line for one year at a rate of 7.66%.

To reduce interest costs and to take advantage of the favorable
interest rate environment, CRLP engaged in an interest rate swap agreement on
$30.2 million of amortizing variable rate debt, and the fixed rate on the debt
to 6.79% for five years. In anticipation of a debt offering six months hence,
CRLP entered into a forward-starting swap for $32.5 million, thereby locking in
a fixed rate of 6.20%. Additionally, CRLP purchased an interest rate cap in
order to limit the degree to which interest rates may rise over the next two
years. The cap covers $30.4 million of LIBOR-based debt at 11.20% through June
30, 2003.

Treasury lock agreements are used by CRLP to set interest rates in
anticipation of public debt offerings. CRLP is exposed to credit losses in the
event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate cap and
nonderivative financial assets but has no off-balance-sheet credit risk of
accounting loss. CRLP anticipates, however, that counterparties will be able to
fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. CRLP does not obtain
collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties.

At December 31, 2000, CRLP had $896.0 million in unsecured indebtedness
including balances outstanding on its bank line of credit and certain other
notes payable. The remainder of CRLP's notes and mortgages payable are
collateralized by the assignment of rents and leases of certain properties and
assets with an aggregate net book value of $344.7 million at December 31, 2000.

The aggregate maturities of notes and mortgages payable, including
CRLP's line of credit at December 31, 2000, are as follows:

2001 $ 79,326

Based on borrowing rates available to CRLP for notes and mortgages
payable with similar terms, the estimated fair value of CRLP's notes and
mortgages payable at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $1.15 billion
and $1.05 billion, respectively.

Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain restrictive covenants, which,
among other things, require maintenance of various financial ratios. At December
31, 2000, CRLP was in compliance with those covenants.

Certain partners of CRLP have guaranteed indebtedness of CRLP totaling
$0.6 million at December 31, 2000. CRLP has indemnified these individuals from
their guarantees of this indebtedness. Certain partners of CRLP have guaranteed
indebtedness of CRLP totaling $27.3 million at December 31, 2000. These
individuals have not been indemnified by CRLP.

9. Capital Structure

At December 31, 2000, the Company controlled CRLP as the sole general
partner and as the holder of 64.9% of the common units of CRLP and 55.6% of the
preferred Units (the "Series A Preferred Units"). The limited partners of CRLP
who hold units, are those persons (including certain officers and directors)
who, at the time of the Initial Public Offering, elected to hold all or a
portion of their interest in the form of Units rather than receiving shares of
common stock of the Company, or individuals from whom the Company acquired
certain properties, who elected to receive Units in exchange for the properties.
Each Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for either one share of Common
Stock or cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of such
redemption, at the option of CRLP. Additionally, in 1999, CRLP issued $100
million of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units ("Series B
Units") in a private placement, that are exchangeable for Series B Preferred
Shares of the Company after ten years at the option of the holders of the Series
B Units. (See Note 10)

The Board of Trustees of the Company manages CRLP by directing the
affairs of the Company. The Company's interests in CRLP entitle it to share in
cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, CRLP in proportion to
the Company's percentage interest therein and entitle the Company to vote on all
matters requiring a vote of the limited partners.

10. Cash Contributions

During 1998, the Company completed four public offerings of common
shares totaling 4,609,438 common shares of beneficial interest. The proceeds of
the offerings were used to fund acquisition and development expenditures, repay
balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit agreement, repay certain notes
and mortgages payable, and for general corporate purposes. Details relating to
these equity offerings are as follows:

In February 1999, CRLP issued 2.0 million units of $50 par value 8.875%
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (Preferred Units),
valued at $100 million in a private placement. CRLP has the right to redeem the
Preferred Units, in whole or in part, after five years at the cost of the
original capital contribution plus the cumulative priority return, whether or
not declared. The Preferred Units are exchangeable for 8.875% Series B Preferred
Units of CRLP after ten years at the option of the holders of the Preferred
Units. The proceeds of the issuance, net of offering costs of $2.6 million were
used to repay balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit agreement and to
fund development, acquisition, and expansion expenditures.

During January 2000, CRLP initiated and completed an Executive Unit
Purchase Program (Unit Purchase Program), in which the Board of Trustees and
certain members of CRLP's management were able to purchase 425,925 Units of
CRLP. Under the Unit Purchase Program, the Board of Trustees and the members of
management obtained full-recourse personal loans from an unrelated financial
institution, in order to purchase the Units. The Units are pledged as collateral
against the loans. In addition, CRLP has provided a guarantee to the unrelated
financial institution for the personal loans. The value of the Units purchased
under the Unit Purchase Program was approximately $10 million.

11. Employee Benefits

Employees of CRLP participate in a noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan designed to cover substantially all employees. Pension expense
includes service and interest costs adjusted by actual earnings on plan assets
and amortization of prior service cost and the transition amount. The benefits
provided by this plan are based on years of service and the employee's final
average compensation. CRLP's policy is to fund the minimum required contribution
under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.

The table below presents a summary of pension plan status as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, as it relates to the employees of CRLP.



(in thousands) 2000 1999
- ------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- --------------
Actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation

including vested benefits of $1,462 and $1,030 $ 1,918 $ 1,312
at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively
Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations
at year end $ 3,460 $ 2,538
Fair value of assets at year end $ 1,135 $ 1,030
Accrued pension cost $ 2,106 $ 1,481
Net pension cost for the year $ 625 $ 613



Actuarial assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of
accumulated benefit obligations at January 1, 2000, are as follows:



2000 1999
--------------- --------------

Weighted-average interest rate 7.50% 8.00%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase in future compensation levels 4.00% 4.25%



CRLP participates in a salary reduction profit sharing plan covering
substantially all employees. This plan provides, with certain restrictions, that
employees may contribute a portion of their earnings with CRLP matching one-half
of such contributions, solely at CRLP discretion. Contributions by CRLP were
approximately $313,000, $275,000, and $178,000 for the years ended December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.



12. Leasing Operations

CRLP is in the business of leasing and managing multifamily, office,
and retail property. For properties owned by CRLP, minimum rentals due in future
periods under noncancelable operating leases extending beyond one year at
December 31, 2000, are as follows:


(in thousands)
-----------------
2001 $ 141,668
2002 128,587
2003 110,983
2004 94,555
2005 76,033
Thereafter 278,683
-----------------
$ 830,509
=================


The noncancelable leases are with tenants engaged in retail and office
operations in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Performance in accordance with the lease terms
is in part dependent upon the economic conditions of the respective areas. No
additional credit risk exposure relating to the leasing arrangements exists
beyond the accounts receivable amounts shown in the December 31, 2000 balance
sheet. Leases with tenants in multifamily properties are generally for one year
or less and are thus excluded from the above table. Substantially all of CRLP's
land, buildings, and equipment represent property leased under the above and
other short-term leasing arrangements.

Rental income for 2000, 1999, and 1998 includes percentage rent of $5.7
million, $4.7 million, and $4.0 million, respectively. This rental income was
earned when certain retail tenants attained sales volumes specified in their
respective lease agreements.

13. Related Party Transactions

CRLP has generally used affiliated construction companies to manage and
oversee its development and expansion projects. CRLP paid $46.7 million, $62.8
million and $40.0 million for property development costs to Lowder Construction
Company, Inc., a construction company owned by The Colonial Company (TCC) (an
affiliate of certain partners and trustees), during the years ended December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Of these amounts, $43.2 million, $55.4
million and $37.3 million was then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors for the
construction of these development and expansion projects during 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively. CRLP had outstanding construction invoices and retainage
payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling $1.4 million and $5.7
million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. CRLP also paid $31.3
million, $21.5 million and $0.4 million for property construction costs to a
construction company owned by a trustee during the years ended December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Of these amounts, $28.2 million, $19.4
million and $0.4 million was then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors for the
construction of these development projects during 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. CRLP had outstanding construction invoices and retainage payable
to this construction company totaling $0.2 million and $0.7 million at December
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

During September 2000, CRLP purchased a parcel of land from Colonial
Commercial Investments, Inc. (CCI), which is owned by trustees James K. Lowder
and Thomas H. Lowder, through the issuance of 12,477 limited partnership units
valued at approximately $0.3 million.

During July 1998, CRLP acquired a 79.8% interest in Colonial Village at
Haverhill. Effective May 1999, CRLP purchased the remaining 20.2% interest in
this property by issuing 157,140 Units to the seller. The seller is a trustee of
CRLP.



Following is a summary of property acquisitions from entities for which
trustees of CRLP are involved as a partner:

14. Recent Pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 (subsequently amended by
SFAS No. 137 and 138), which established new accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments. CRLP is required to adopt this statement on January
1, 2001. This statement requires CRLP to recognized all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure the effectiveness of the
hedges, or the degree that the gain (loss) for the hedging instrument offsets
the loss (gain) on the hedged item, at fair value each reporting period. For
hedges that fix the forecasted future cash flows of a borrowing, the effective
portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument will be recognized in
other comprehensive income as a component of equity until the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. For fair value hedges, both the hedging instrument and
the hedged item are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values. Any
change in their fair value is reported in earnings in each period. Swaps that
convert fixed rate payments to floating rate payments are considered fair value
hedges.

On adoption of SFAS No. 133 in January 2001, CRLP will record a net
transition adjustment of $885,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income
(capital). Adoption of the standard will also result in CRLP recognizing
$885,000 of derivative instrument liabilities. In general, the amount of
volatility will vary with the level of derivative activities during any period.

15. Subsequent Events

On January 27, 2001, the Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution
to partners of CRLP in the amount of $.63 per unit and per partnership unit,
totaling $20.1 million. The distribution was made to partners of record as of
February 8, 2001, and was paid on February 15, 2001.

On February 6, 2001, the Company filed a registration statement on Form
S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register the issuance
of up to 425,925 Common Units upon the redemption of an equal number of CRLP
Units issued to employees and trustees of CRLP in January 2000 through the Unit
Purchase Program (see Note 10). In the same registration statement, the Company
also registered the resale of up to 10,787,325 Common Units that are already
outstanding or that may be issued upon redemption of currently outstanding CRLP
Units.

(1) The Company's incentive compensation plan permits officers to elect to
receive all or part of their annual bonus in the form of restricted
shares instead of cash. Officers who elect to receive up to 50% of
their bonus in restricted shares receive shares having a market value
on the issue date equal to 125% of the deferred amount. Officers who
elect to receive more than 50% of their annual bonus in restricted
shares receive shares having a market value on the issue date equal to
140% of the deferred amount. For 2000, Messrs. Lowder, Thompson,
Nelson, Jackson and Earle elected to receive 100%, 0%, 51%, 0% and
100%, respectively, of their bonuses in restricted shares. The
restricted shares issued to Messrs. Lowder, Nelson and Earle vest over
3 years, with 50% vesting on the first anniversary of the issue date
and the remaining 25% vesting in equal installments on the second and
third anniversaries of the issue date. The restricted shares issued
under the incentive compensation plan were issued in March 2001. The
number and value of restricted shares held by the Named Executive
Officers as of December 31, 2000 were as follows: Mr. Lowder - 7,632
shares ($198,909); Mr. Thompson - 2,925 shares ($76,263); Mr. Nelson -
4,707 shares ($122,676); Mr. Jackson - 795 shares ($20,720) and Mr.
Earle- 3,831 shares ($99,845). Dividends are paid on restricted shares
at the same rate paid to all other holders of common shares.

(2) All Other Compensation consists solely of employer contributions to the
Company's 401(k) plan.

1 All options granted in 2000 become exercisable in five equal annual
installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant and have a
term of ten years.

2 The Black-Scholes option pricing model was chosen to estimate the value of the
options set forth in this table. The Company's use of this model should not be
construed as an endorsement of its accuracy of valuing options. All option
valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model, require a prediction about
the future movement of the share price. The following assumptions were made for
the purposes of calculating the option value: an option term of 10 years,
volatility of 14.56%, dividend yield at 8.19%, and interest rate of 5.74%. The
real value of the options to purchase common shares in this table depends upon
the actual performance of the Company's common shares, the option holder's
continued employment throughout the option period, and the date on which the
options are exercised.



Defined Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a retirement plan for all of the employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries. An employee becomes eligible to participate in the
plan on January 1 or July 1 following the first anniversary of the person's
employment by the Company or one of its consolidated or unconsolidated
subsidiaries or age 21 if later. Benefits are based upon the number of years of
service (maximum 25 years) and the average of the participant's earnings during
the five highest years of compensation during the final 10 years of employment.
Each participant accrues a benefit at a specified percentage of compensation up
to the Social Security covered compensation level, and at a higher percentage of
compensation above the Social Security covered compensation level. A participant
receives credit for a year of service for every year in which 1,000 hours are
completed in the employment of the Company or its predecessor or any of the
Company's subsidiaries.

The following table reflects estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement under the retirement plan as a single life annuity commencing at age
65. These benefits ignore the lower benefit rate applicable to earnings below
the Social Security covered compensation level.

Pension Plan Table

$170,000 or over $12,920 $25,840 $38,760 $51,680 $64,600


The benefits shown are limited by the current statutory limitations
which restrict the amount of benefits which can be paid from a qualified
retirement plan. The statutory limit on compensation which may be recognized in
calculating benefits is $170,000 in 2000. This limit is scheduled to increase
periodically with the cost of living.

Covered compensation under the plan includes the employees' base salary
and other earnings received from the Company. Thomas H. Lowder has 26 years of
covered service under the plan, Howard B. Nelson, Jr. has 16 years of service,
C. Reynolds Thompson, III has 4 years of service, Robert A. Jackson has 3 years
of service, and Paul F. Earle has 9 years of service.

Employment Agreement

Thomas H. Lowder, the president and chief executive officer of the
Company, entered into an employment agreement with the Company in September
1993. This agreement provides for an initial term of three years, with automatic
renewals for successive one-year terms if neither party delivers notice of
non-renewal at least six months prior to the next scheduled expiration date. The
agreement provides for annual compensation of at least $275,000 and incentive
compensation on substantially the same terms as set forth in the description of
the Annual Incentive Plan. See "Report on Executive Compensation - Annual
Incentive Plan." The agreement includes provisions restricting Mr. Lowder from
competing with the Company during employment and, except in certain
circumstances, for two years after termination of employment. In addition, in
the event of disability or termination by the Company without cause or by the
employee with cause, the agreement provides that the Company must pay Mr. Lowder
the greater of (i) his base compensation and benefits for the remainder of the
employment term or (ii) six months' base compensation and benefits.







EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND

INSIDER PARTICIPATION

None of the five members of the Executive Compensation Committee is an
employee of the Company. As described below, M. Miller Gorrie and James K.
Lowder, who are members of the committee, own interests in certain entities
that, during 2000, were parties to certain transactions involving the Company.

The Company engaged Lowder Construction Company, Inc., of which Mr. J.
Lowder serves as the chairman of the board and which is indirectly owned by
Messrs. J. Lowder and T. Lowder, to serve as construction manager for six
multifamily development and one retail development project during 2000. The
Company paid a total of $46.7 million ($43.2 million of which was then paid to
unaffiliated subcontractors) for the construction of these development and
expansion projects during 2000. The Company had outstanding construction
invoices and retainage payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling
$1.4 million at December 31, 2000.

Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors, Inc. ("B&G"), a corporation of
which Mr. Gorrie is a shareholder and chairman of the board, was engaged to
serve as construction manager for five office and retail development and
redevelopment projects during 2000. The Company paid B&G a total of $31.3
million ($28.2 million of which was then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors)
during 2000. The Company had outstanding construction invoices and retainage
payable to this company totaling $0.2 million at December 31, 2000.

The Company purchased a parcel of land from Colonial Commercial
Investments, Inc. ("CCI"), a corporation owned by Messrs. J. Lowder and T.
Lowder, through the issuance of 12,477 limited partnership units in the
Operating Partnership valued at approximately $0.3 million.

The Management Corporation provided management and leasing services
during 2000 to certain entities in which Messrs. J. Lowder, T. Lowder and R.
Lowder have an interest. The aggregate amount of fees paid to the Management
Corporation by such entities during 2000 was approximately $200,000. The Company
owns a 99% economic interest in the Management Corporation but, due to
limitations imposed by the IRS's REIT rules, owns only 1% of the voting stock.
The remainder of the voting stock is held by members of the Lowder family.

Colonial Insurance Company, a corporation indirectly owned by the
Lowder family, provided insurance brokerage services for the Company during
2000. The aggregate amount paid by the Company to Colonial Insurance Company for
these services for the year ended December 31, 2000, was approximately $198,000.
The Company performed Risk Management Administrative Services for which Colonial
Insurance Company paid the Company $100,000 during 2000.

The Company leased space to certain entities in which the Lowder family
has an interest and received rent from these entities totaling approximately
$1.5 million during 2000.
