§ West Coast recovered later, implying rent growth has greater
      upside potential
§ Better than average job growth prospects, especially in
      technology related industries
§ Most desirable locations due to quality of life
§ New supply remains muted, <1% annual addition to residential
      stock in Essex markets
§ Demographic tailwinds of retirees and 'echo boomers‘
      expected to increase renter demand
Essex expects market rents for its portfolio to increase 28% over the next 5
years.
Economic Assumptions
§ Moderate U.S. GDP Growth 2.8% annual average
§ Moderate U.S. Job Growth 1.7% annual average
§ 3.5% CPI Growth
Why Essex is Maintaining the West Coast Focus?

Drivers of strong continued demand in Essex markets

§ 52% of Venture Capital spending is in our markets - key driver of growth industries & jobs
§ Incoming Echo Boomers (64 million) & quality of life factors favor the West Coast
§ Higher percentage of educated workers
The West Coast is Well-Positioned

Conclusions:
§ Single family supply is low everywhere currently
§ When single family supply recovers, we expect a sharp rebound in the
      non-constrained markets
§ The supply constrained coastal rental markets will have less
      competition from for-sale as compared to 2003 - 2007
