beneficial owners of common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the &#147;Common Shares&#148;), and preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, and depositary shares representing
interests therein (collectively, the &#147;Preferred Shares&#148;), with a simple and convenient method of investing cash distributions in additional Common Shares. Common Shares purchased under the Plan may, at the option of the Company, be
directly issued by the Company or purchased by the Company&#146;s transfer agent in the open market using participants&#146; funds. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Enrollment in the Plan is entirely voluntary and participants in the Plan may terminate their participation at any time. A broker, bank or
other nominee may reinvest distributions on behalf of beneficial owners. Those holders of Common Shares who do not participate in the Plan will receive cash distributions, as declared, in the usual manner. Participants in the Plan may request that
any or all of their shares held in Plan accounts be sold by the Plan Administrator. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent that Common Shares issued hereunder are
authorized but previously unissued shares rather than shares acquired in the open market, the Plan will raise additional capital for the Company. The Company intends to issue such shares from time to time and, therefore, the Plan is expected to
raise capital for the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Prospectus relates to 4,790,000 Common Shares offered hereby and registered for sale under the Plan.

by reference to the Articles of Restatement of Declaration of Trust of the Company dated December&nbsp;9, 2004 (&#147;Declaration of Trust&#148;), as amended and/or restated from time to time, and the Seventh Amended and Restated Bylaws of the

of assets legally available therefor and to share ratably in the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its shareholders in the event of its liquidation, dissolution or winding-up after payment of, or adequate provision for, all

provided with respect to any other class or series of shares of beneficial interest, the holders of such Common Shares will possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees. Our bylaws require that, in
uncontested elections, each trustee be elected by the majority of votes with respect to such trustee. This means that the number of shares affirmatively voted &#147;for&#148; a trustee nominee must exceed fifty percent (50%)&nbsp;of the total number

PLAN </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan provides eligible holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares with a convenient and attractive method of investing
cash distributions in additional Common Shares without payment of any fees. The price to be paid for Common Shares purchased under the Plan will be a price reflecting 100% of the Market Price (as defined in Question 11). Common Shares purchased
under the Plan may, at the option of the Company, be directly issued by the Company or purchased by the Company&#146;s transfer agent in the open market using participants&#146; funds. Subject to the availability of Common Shares registered for
issuance under the Plan, there is no minimum or maximum limitation on the amount of distributions a Participant (as defined in Question 1) may reinvest under the Plan (see Question 2), and there is no total maximum number of shares that can be
issued pursuant to the reinvestment of distributions. As of the date hereof, 4,790,000 Common Shares have been registered and are available for sale under the Plan. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Company on May&nbsp;15, 1997, and amended on July&nbsp;14, 2003,&nbsp;December&nbsp;16,
2008 and September&nbsp;30, 2014. Prior to the September 2014 amendment, the Plan allowed participants to purchase Common Shares through optional cash payments as well as reinvestments of distributions. The September 2014 amendment terminated this
cash purchase option, and therefore the Plan now only provides for purchases of Common Shares through reinvestments of distributions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

purpose of the Plan? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares of the Company
(&#147;Participants&#148;) with a convenient and simple method of increasing their investment in the Company by investing cash distributions in additional Common Shares without payment of any fees, to the extent shares are purchased directly from
the Company. See Question 5 for a description of the holders who are eligible to participate in the Plan. Common Shares purchased under the Plan may, at the option of the Company, be directly issued by the Company or purchased by the Company&#146;s
transfer agent in the open market using Participants&#146; funds. To the extent shares are purchased from the Company under the Plan, it will receive additional funds for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Company reserves the right
to modify, suspend or terminate participation in the Plan by otherwise eligible holders of Common Shares or Preferred Shares in order to eliminate practices which are, in the sole discretion of the Company, not consistent with the purposes or
operation of the Plan or which adversely affect the price of the Common Shares. </P>

Shares credited to a Participant&#146;s account under the Plan will involve a nominal fee per transaction paid to the Plan Administrator (if such resale is made by the Plan Administrator at the request of a Participant), a per share processing fee
and any applicable share transfer taxes on the resales. See Questions 15 and 21. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(c) Prospective investors in Common Shares should

owns Common Shares or Preferred Shares that are registered in a name other than his or her own name (for example, the shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee). A Record Owner may participate directly in the Plan, whereas a
Beneficial Owner will have to either become a Record Owner by having one or more shares transferred into his or her own name or coordinate his or her participation in the Plan through the broker, bank or other nominee in whose name the Beneficial
Owner&#146;s shares are held. If a Beneficial Owner who desires to become a Participant encounters any difficulties in coordinating his or her participation in the Plan with his or her broker, bank or other nominee, he or she should call the

who individually owns less than 5.0% of the shares outstanding to be deemed to be holding shares in excess of the foregoing limitation. The Declaration of Trust provides that in the event a person acquires shares of beneficial interest in excess of

days). Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volume in the shares, sales may be executed in multiple transactions and over more than one day. If an order remains open for more than one day during which the market is open,
a separate fee will be charged for each such day. The order (or any unexecuted portion thereof) is automatically cancelled if the trading price is not met by the end of the order period. The order may be cancelled by the applicable stock exchange,
by the Plan Administrator at its sole discretion or, if the Plan Administrator&#146;s broker has not filled the order, at a Participant&#146;s request made online at www.computershare.com/investor through &#147;Investor Centre&#147;or by calling the
Plan Administrator directly at 1-800-733-5001. A service fee of $25 per order and a processing fee of $0.12 per share sold will be deducted from the sale proceeds. All sales requests processed over the telephone by a customer service representative

in its sole discretion, that supporting legal documentation is required. In addition, no one will have any authority or power to direct the time or price at which shares for the Plan are sold (except for prices specified for day limit orders or GTC

not realize any taxable income upon receipt of certificates for whole Common Shares credited to the Participant&#146;s account, either upon the Participant&#146;s request for certain of those Common Shares or upon termination of participation in the
Plan. A Participant will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of Common Shares acquired under the Plan. A Participant will also recognize gain or loss upon receipt, following termination of participation in the Plan, of a cash payment
for any fractional share equivalent credited to the Participant&#146;s account. The amount of any such gain or loss will be the difference between the amount that the Participant received for the Common Shares or fractional share equivalent and the

Preferred Shares, proceeds from the sale of fractional shares and proceeds from the sale of Common Shares held for a Participant&#146;s account may be subject to federal income tax withholding at the &#147;backup withholding&#148; rate (currently
28% for 2014). If withholding is required for any reason, the appropriate amount of tax will be withheld. Certain shareholders (including most corporations) are, however, exempt from the above withholding requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a Participant is a foreign shareholder whose distributions are subject to federal income tax withholding at the 30% rate (or a lower treaty
rate), the appropriate amount will be withheld and the remaining balance in Common Shares will be credited to such Participant&#146;s account. A foreign investor will not be subject to withholding under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax
Act (&#147;FIRPTA&#148;) with respect to certain Company capital gain distributions on its common shares so long as the foreign investor owns 5% or less of the Company&#146;s common shares during the one year period ending on the date of such
distribution and those shares remain regularly traded on an established United States securities market, but will instead remain subject with respect to such distributions to the 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding tax described in the preceding
sentence. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (&#147;FATCA&#148;) imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain types of payments made to
&#147;foreign financial institutions&#148; and certain other non-U.S. entities unless certain due diligence, reporting, withholding, and certification obligation requirements are satisfied. As a general matter, FATCA imposes a 30% withholding tax on
dividends on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our shares if paid to a foreign entity unless (i)&nbsp;the foreign entity is a &#147;foreign financial institution,&#148; that undertakes certain due diligence, reporting,
withholding, and certification obligations, (ii)&nbsp;the foreign entity is not a &#147;foreign financial institution,&#148; the foreign entity identifies certain of its U.S. investors, or (iii)&nbsp;the foreign entity is otherwise excepted under
FATCA. Under recently issued treasury regulations, withholding is required (i)&nbsp;with respect to dividends on our shares beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2014, and (ii)&nbsp;with respect to gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our
shares that occurs on or after January&nbsp;1, 2017. If withholding is required under FATCA on a payment related to our shares, shareholders that otherwise would not be subject to withholding (or that otherwise would be entitled to a reduced rate of
withholding) on such payment generally will be required to seek a refund or credit from the IRS to obtain the benefit of such exemption or reduction (provided that such benefit is available). An intergovernmental agreement governing FATCA between
the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this paragraph. Participants that are foreign shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA
to their investment in our shares. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has paid distributions since its incorporation. In order to accommodate the provisions of this Plan, the Company anticipates that
distributions on the Common Shares will be payable on or about the second Friday of January, April, July and October. The timing of distributions on the Preferred Shares varies with respect to each series of Preferred Shares. The distribution
payment dates applicable to each series of Preferred Shares can be found in our Declaration of Trust or the Articles Supplementary for such series of Preferred Shares. </P>

shares will be sold. However, the Company proposes to use the net proceeds from the sale of newly issued Common Shares for working capital and general corporate purposes including, without limitation, the acquisition or development of multifamily
properties and the repayment of debt. Net proceeds may be temporarily invested prior to use. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="tx797019_22"></A>PLAN OF

acquired under the Plan will be sold directly by the Company through the Plan. The Company may sell Common Shares to owners of shares (including brokers or dealers) who, in connection with any resales of such shares, may be deemed to be
underwriters. In connection with any such transaction, compliance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act would be required. Such shares may be resold in market transactions (including coverage of short positions) on any national securities
exchange on which Common Shares trade or in privately negotiated transactions. The Common Shares are currently listed on the NYSE. Any underwriter involved in the offer and sale of the Common Shares will be named in the applicable prospectus
supplement. Any underwriting compensation paid by the Company to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of the Common Shares, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the availability of Common Shares registered for issuance under the Plan, there

purchases of Common Shares relating to reinvested distributions, the Company will pay any and all fees and related expenses incurred in connection with purchases of Common Shares under the Plan. Upon withdrawal by a Participant from the Plan by the
sale of Common Shares held under the Plan, the Participant will receive the proceeds of such sale less a nominal fee per transaction paid to the Plan Administrator (if such resale is made by the Plan Administrator at the request of a Participant),
any related fees and any applicable transfer taxes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Common Shares may not be available under the Plan in all states. This Prospectus does

changed its name to Jupiter Enterprise LP) (&#147;Archstone&#148;) and its affiliates of certain assets and interests in various entities affiliated with Archstone, constituting a portfolio of apartment properties and other assets. We are including
certain pro forma financial information relating to such acquisition as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated

&#147;Company&#148;) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;) with AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (&#147;AVB&#148;), Archstone and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (&#147;LBHI&#148;) pursuant to which the Company, AVB
and certain of their respective subsidiaries agreed to acquire from Archstone and its affiliates, all of the assets and interests in various entities affiliated with Archstone. On February&nbsp;27, 2013, the Company and AVB completed this
acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired a portfolio of apartment properties in exchange for (i)&nbsp;cash in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.0 billion, (ii)&nbsp;approximately 34.5&nbsp;million common shares of
beneficial interest of Equity Residential, and (iii)&nbsp;the assumption of liabilities related to the Archstone Portfolio (see definition below). In addition, a total of $2.0 billion of Archstone secured mortgage principal was paid off in
conjunction with the closing. The Company owns assets representing approximately 60% of the Archstone Portfolio and AVB owns assets representing approximately 40% of the Archstone Portfolio. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company paid approximately $9.0 billion, inclusive of assumed debt of approximately $3.0 billion, and received seventy-one wholly owned
and two partially owned operating properties containing 20,928 apartment units and three master-leased properties consisting of 853 apartment units, located primarily in high barrier to entry markets where the Company already operates. The portfolio
contains approximately 19.4&nbsp;million net rentable square feet of residential space and approximately 500,000 square feet of commercial space. In addition, the Company and AVB acquired interests in certain assets of Archstone, including
Archstone&#146;s interests in certain joint ventures, interests in a portfolio of properties located in Germany and certain development land parcels through one or more unconsolidated joint ventures between the Company and AVB that are owned 60% by
the Company and 40% by AVB (the Company&#146;s collective acquisition is referred to as the &#147;Archstone Portfolio&#148;). The joint ventures between the Company and AVB consist of assets that do not fit the Company&#146;s or AVB&#146;s core
strategy or asset class. As a result, the Company and AVB have already sold or plan to sell (held for sale) the joint venture assets as promptly as reasonably possible, subject to market and other economic conditions. </P>

apply to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. Any indemnification or payment or reimbursement of the expenses permitted by the Registrant&#146;s bylaws shall be furnished in accordance with the
procedures provided for indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses, as the case may be, under Section&nbsp;2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the &#147;MGCL&#148;) for directors of Maryland corporations. The Registrant may
provide to trustees and officers such other and further indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses, as the case may be, to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL, as in effect from time to time, for directors of Maryland corporations.

agreements require, among other things, that the Registrant indemnify its trustees and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance to the trustees and executive officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it
is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. Under these agreements, the Registrant must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by trustees and executive officers seeking to enforce their rights under the
indemnification agreements and may cover trustees and executive officers under the Registrant&#146;s trustees and officers&#146; liability insurance. Although the form of indemnification agreement offers substantially the same scope of coverage
afforded by law, as a traditional form of contract it may provide greater assurance to trustees and executive officers that indemnification will be available. </P>

Operating Partnership and the Management Partnerships and their respective partners to the same extent that the liability of the officers and trustees of the Registrant to the Registrant and its shareholders is limited under the Registrant&#146;s
