ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Beginning December 5, 2005, the materials included in Exhibit 99.1 of this report will be used by United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. in connection with investor conferences in New York City, including the Wachovia Securities Real Estate Securities Conference on December 7, 2005.

ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
On December 2, 2005, Christopher D. Genry, our Executive Vice President—Corporate Strategy and Chief Financial Officer, adopted a pre-arranged trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and our policies regarding stock transactions by directors, officers and employees. Under the plan, Mr. Genry will exercise certain employee stock options for up to 87,500 shares and sell the underlying shares over a twelve-month period beginning on December 16, 2005. Shares will be sold under the plan on the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds as set forth in the plan.
The pre-arranged stock trading plan was adopted in order to allow Mr. Genry to sell his shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of vested stock options over time as part of his long-term strategy for asset diversification and liquidity. Should all 87,500 shares be sold, Mr. Genry currently still owns 310,410 equivalent shares of the company. The transactions under the plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Rule 10b5-1 allows persons who are not aware of material, non-public information to adopt written, pre-arranged trading plans. Individuals may use these plans to diversify their investment portfolios over time. Mr. Genry, as well as other officers and directors of the company, may adopt similar plans in the future. We do not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any of our officers or directors in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan, except to the extent required by law.
