<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;17, 2008
AvalonBay Communities,&nbsp;Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced that the Company had
completed a review of the Company&#146;s operating and investment plan in the
context of current and anticipated economic, capital and real estate market
conditions and concluded that the general deterioration in capital market
conditions and the related declines in employment levels and credit
availability are market conditions that do not support the development and
construction of certain new apartment communities previously in planning.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly, the Company
approved a plan under which the Company will no longer pursue certain
development parcels or rights, which will result in charges for impairments to
the value of land holdings, charges for abandoned pursuit costs for land not
owned but under option, and severance charges for planned overhead
reductions.&#160; These charges will be
recorded during the fourth quarter and year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and
are detailed further as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

charge of between $55 to $65 million for impairment in value for eight land
parcels owned that the Company will not develop.&#160; The impairment charge is the difference
between estimated fair value and current capitalized carrying value.</p>

take a non-cash charge of approximately $7 million for previously capitalized
costs for seven specific development rights for land under option agreements
that will not proceed to development.</p>

overhead reductions as the Company takes steps to reduce the size of the
organization needed to support a lower level of new development.</p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">ALEXANDRIA, VA (December&nbsp;17, 2008)</font></b><b><font style="font-weight:bold;">&#160; &#150;</font>&#160; AvalonBay Communities,&nbsp;Inc.</b>
(&#147;AvalonBay&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (NYSE: AVB) announced today that the Company
completed a review of its operating and investment plan in the context of
current and anticipated economic, capital and real estate market
conditions.&#160; The Company concluded that
general deterioration in capital market conditions and the related decline in
employment levels and credit availability are market conditions that do not
support the development and construction of certain new apartment communities
previously in planning.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly, the Company will no longer pursue certain development
parcels or rights, which will result in charges for impairments to the value of
land holdings, charges for abandoned pursuit costs for land not owned but under
option and severance charges for planned overhead reductions.&#160; These charges will be recorded during the
fourth quarter and year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and are detailed further
as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Symbol" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#183;</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font>Impairment
Charges:&#160; The Company expects to incur a
non-cash charge of between $55 to $65 million for impairment in value for eight
land parcels owned that will not be developed.&#160;
The impairment charge is the difference between estimated fair value and
current capitalized carrying value.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .5in;text-indent:-.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

Pursuit Charges: The Company will take a non-cash charge of approximately $7
million for previously capitalized costs for seven specific development rights
for land under option agreement that will not proceed to development.</p>

The Company plans to complete the construction and lease-up of these
communities as planned, with amounts remaining to fund current construction activities
totaling $683 million.&#160; Committed capital
liquidity is projected to be approximately $1.1 billion as of December&nbsp;31,
2008 and the Company anticipates that these sources of financing together with
retained cash from operations are adequate to fund current construction
underway through completion as well as fund all debt maturities scheduled for
2009 and 2010.&#160; The Company intends to
arrange additional financings to add to the current level of committed
capital.&#160; The Company has approximately
100 unencumbered apartment communities available for future secured financing

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.&#160; You can identify these forward-looking
statements by the Company&#146;s use of words such as &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;plans,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148;
&#147;projects,&#148; &#147;intends,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;outlook&#148; and similar expressions that do
not relate to historical matters.&#160; Actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, which
include the following: adverse capital and credit market conditions may affect
our access to various sources of capital and/or cost of capital, which may
affect our business activities, earnings and common stock price, among other
things; changes in local employment conditions, demand for apartment homes,
supply of competitive housing products, and other economic conditions may
result in lower than expected occupancy and/or rental rates and adversely
affect the profitability of our communities; increases in costs of materials,
labor or other expenses may result in communities that we develop or redevelop
failing to achieve expected profitability; delays in completing development,
redevelopment and/or lease-up may result in increased financing and
construction costs and may delay and/or reduce the profitability of a
community; debt and/or equity financing for development, redevelopment or
acquisitions of communities may not be available&#160; or may not be available on favorable terms;
we may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary
governmental permits and authorizations; or we may abandon development or
redevelopment opportunities for which we have already incurred costs.&#160; Additional discussions of risks and
uncertainties appear in the Company&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the
fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007 under the headings &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and
