    This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
    documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus
    supplement and the accompanying prospectus, include statements
    about future events and expectations that constitute
    forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
    include, without limitation, statements concerning property
    acquisitions and dispositions, development activity and capital
    expenditures, capital raising activities, rent growth,
    occupancy, and rental expense growth. Words such as
    &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148;

    words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
    forward-looking statements. Such statements involve known and
    unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
    the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
    different from the results of operations or plans expressed or
    implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors
    include, among other things, unanticipated adverse business
    developments affecting us or our properties, adverse changes in
    the real estate markets and general and local economies and
    business conditions. Although we believe that the assumptions
    underlying such forward-looking statements are reasonable, any
    of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore such
    statements may not prove to be accurate. In light of the
    significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking
    statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
    should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other
    person that the results or conditions described in such
    statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved.

    Code, we must continue to meet certain tests which, among other

    real estate assets, our income be derived primarily from real
    estate assets, and that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT
    taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our

    We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the applicable
    provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the
    &#147;Code.&#148; To continue to qualify as a REIT under the
    Code, we must continue to meet certain tests which, among other
    things, generally require that our assets consist primarily of
    real estate assets, our income be derived primarily from real
    estate assets, and that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT
    taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our
    stockholders. As a qualified REIT, we generally will not be
    subject to U.S.&#160;federal income taxes on our REIT taxable

    Except as described above, the Indentures do not contain any
    provisions that would limit our ability to incur indebtedness or
    that would afford holders of the debt securities protection in
    the event of a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving
    us or in the event of a change of control. However, our charter,
    contains ownership and transfer restrictions relating to our
    stock that are designed primarily to preserve our status as a
    REIT for U.S.&#160;federal income tax purposes. The Code
    generally provides that concentration of more than 50% in value
    of direct or indirect ownership of our stock in five or fewer
    individual stockholders during the last six months of any year,
    or ownership of our stock by fewer than 100&#160;persons on more
    than a limited number of days during any taxable year, will
    result in our disqualification as a REIT for such purposes.
    Provisions of our charter that are intended to prevent
    concentration of ownership may prevent or hinder a change of
    control. You should refer to the applicable prospectus
    supplement for information with respect to any deletions from,
    modifications of or additions to the events of default or

    pronouncements issued by the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as

    consequences described below. We have not sought and will not
    seek an advance ruling from the IRS regarding any matter
    discussed in this prospectus. The summary is also based upon the

    options to purchase these items, and futures and forward
    contracts. Income from a hedging transaction, including gain
    from the sale or disposition of such a transaction, that is
    clearly identified as such as specified in the Code will not
    constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross
    income test (for transactions entered into prior to
    July&#160;31, 2008, hedging transaction income will not
    constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income
    test only), and therefore will be exempt from this test. To the
    extent that we do not properly identify such transactions as
    hedges, the income from those transactions is not likely to be
    treated as qualifying income for purposes of the gross income
    tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a
    manner that does not jeopardize our status as a REIT.

    Interest income constitutes qualifying mortgage interest for

    obligation upon which such interest is paid is secured by a
    mortgage on real property. If we receive interest income with
    respect to a mortgage loan that is secured by both real property
    and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan
    outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value
    of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated
    the mortgage loan, the interest income will be apportioned
    between the real property and the other collateral, and our
    income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75%
    gross income test only to the extent that the interest is
    allocable to the real property. Even if a loan is not secured by
    real property, or is undersecured, the income that it generates

    If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income
    tests for any taxable year, we may still qualify as a REIT for
    such year if we are entitled to relief under applicable
    provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These relief provisions
    will be generally available if (1)&#160;our failure to meet
    these tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful
    neglect and (2)&#160;following our identification of the failure

    Similarly, although stock of another REIT is a qualifying asset
    for purposes of the REIT asset tests, any non-mortgage debt that
    is issued by another REIT may not so qualify (such debt,

    Certain securities will not cause a violation of the 10% asset
    test described above. Such securities include instruments that
    constitute &#147;straight debt,&#148; which includes, among
    other things, securities having certain contingency features. A
    security does not qualify as &#147;straight debt&#148; where a

    the same issuer which do not qualify as straight debt, unless
    the value of those other securities constitute, in the
    aggregate, 1% or less of the total value of that issuer&#146;s
    outstanding securities. In addition to straight debt, the
    Internal Revenue Code provides that certain other securities
    will not violate the 10% asset test. Such securities include
    (1)&#160;any loan made to an individual or an estate,
    (2)&#160;certain rental agreements pursuant to which one or more
    payments are to be made in subsequent years (other than
    agreements between a REIT and certain persons related to the

    rents from real property, (4)&#160;securities issued by
    governmental entities that are not dependent in whole or in part
    on the profits of (or payments made by) a non-governmental

    partnership if the partnership&#146;s income is of a nature that
    it would satisfy the 75% gross income test described above under
    &#147;&#151; Income Tests.&#148; In applying the 10% asset test,
    a debt security issued by a partnership is not taken into
    account to the extent, if any, of the REIT&#146;s proportionate
    interest in the equity and certain debt securities issued by
    that partnership.

    Net income that we derive from a prohibited transaction, is
    subject to a 100% tax. The term &#147;prohibited
    transaction&#148; generally includes a sale or other disposition
    of property (other than foreclosure property, as discussed
    below) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the
    ordinary course of a trade or business by us or by a borrower
    that has issued a shared appreciation mortgage or similar debt
    instrument to us. We intend to conduct our operations so that no
    asset that we own (or are treated as owning) will be treated as,
    or as having been, held for sale to customers, and that a sale
    of any such asset will not be treated as having been in the
    ordinary course of our business. Whether property is held
    &#147;primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of
    a trade or business&#148; depends on the particular facts and
    circumstances. No assurance can be given that any property that
    we sell will not be treated as property held for sale to
    customers, or that we can comply with certain safe-harbor
    provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that would prevent such
    treatment. The 100% tax does not apply to gains from the sale of
    property that is held through a TRS or other taxable
    corporation, although such income will be subject to tax in the
    hands of the corporation at regular corporate rates.

    or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a
    variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments
    such as interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor
    contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options. Except to
    the extent provided by Treasury regulations, any income from a

    constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income
    test only). To the extent that we enter into other types of
    hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is
    likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of
    both of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. We intend to
    structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not
    jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. We may conduct some or
    all of our hedging activities (including hedging activities
    relating to currency risk) through a TRS or other corporate
    entity, the income from which may be subject to federal income
    tax, rather than by participating in the arrangements directly
    or through pass-through subsidiaries. No assurance can be given,
    however, that our hedging activities will not give rise to
    income that does not qualify for purposes of either or both of
    the REIT income tests, or that our hedging activities will not

    Any investment in partnerships involves special tax
    considerations, including the possibility of a challenge by the
    IRS of the status of any subsidiary partnership as a
    partnership, as opposed to an association taxable as a
    corporation, for federal income tax purposes. If any of these
    entities were treated as an association for federal income tax
    purposes, it would be taxable as a corporation and therefore
    could be subject to an entity-level tax on its income. In such a
    situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income
    would change and could preclude us from satisfying the REIT
    asset tests or the income tests as discussed in &#147;Taxation
    of UDR&#160;&#151; Asset Tests&#148; and

    satisfy the REIT tests for a taxable year, and of the relief
    provisions. In addition, any change in the status of any
    subsidiary partnership for tax purposes might be treated as a
    taxable event, in which case we could have taxable income that
    is subject to the REIT distribution requirements without
    receiving any cash.

    Under the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury regulations,
    income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or
    depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in
    exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated
    for tax purposes so that the contributing partner is charged
    with, or benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss
    associated with the property at the time of the contribution.
    The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss is
    generally equal to the difference between the fair market value
    of the contributed property at the time of contribution, and the
    adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution
    (a &#147;book-tax difference&#148;). Such allocations are solely
    for federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book
    capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among
    the partners.

    To the extent that any of our subsidiary partnerships acquires
    appreciated (or depreciated) properties by way of capital
    contributions from its partners, allocations would need to be
    made in a manner consistent with these requirements. Where a
    partner contributes cash to a partnership at a time that the
    partnership holds appreciated (or depreciated) property, the
    Treasury regulations provide for a similar allocation of these
    items to the other (i.e., non-contributing) partners. These
    rules may apply to a contribution that we make to any subsidiary
    partnerships of the cash proceeds received in offerings of our
    stock. As a result, the partners of our subsidiary partnerships,
    including us, could be allocated greater or lesser amounts of
    depreciation and taxable income in respect of a
    partnership&#146;s properties than would be the case if all of
    the partnership&#146;s assets (including any contributed assets)
    had a tax basis equal to their fair market values at the time of
    any contributions to that partnership. This could cause us to
    recognize, over a period of time, taxable income in excess of
    cash flow from the partnership, which might adversely affect our
    ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements
    discussed above.

    gains recognized by individuals, trusts and estates upon the
    sale or disposition of our stock will be subject to a maximum
    federal income tax rate of 15% (through 2010)&#160;if the stock
    is held for more than one year, and will be taxed at ordinary
    income rates (of up to 35% through 2010)&#160;if the stock is
    held for one year or less. Gains recognized by stockholders that
    are corporations are subject to federal income tax at a maximum
    rate of 35%, whether or not such gains are classified as
    long-term capital gains. Capital losses recognized by a
    stockholder upon the disposition of our stock that was held for
    more than one year at the time of disposition will be considered
    long-term capital losses, and are generally available only to
    offset capital gain income of the stockholder but not ordinary
    income (except in the case of individuals, who may offset up to
    $3,000 of ordinary income each year). In addition, any loss upon
    a sale or exchange of shares of our stock by a stockholder who
    has held the shares for six months or less, after applying
    holding period rules, will be treated as a long-term capital
    loss to the extent of distributions that we make that are
    required to be treated by the stockholder as long-term capital
    gain.

    If an investor recognizes a loss upon a subsequent disposition
    of our stock or other securities in an amount that exceeds a

    separately disclose the loss-generating transaction to the IRS.
    These regulations, though directed towards &#147;tax
    shelters,&#148; are broadly written and apply to transactions
    that would not typically be considered tax shelters. The Code
    imposes significant penalties for failure to comply with these

    disposition of our stock or securities or transactions that we
    might undertake directly or indirectly.

    generally are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they
    may be subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable
    income, or UBTI. While some investments in real estate may
    generate UBTI, the IRS has ruled that dividend distributions
    from a REIT to a tax-exempt entity do not constitute UBTI. Based
    on that ruling, and provided that (1)&#160;a tax-exempt
    stockholder has not held our stock as &#147;debt financed
    property&#148; within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code
    (i.e., where the acquisition or holding of the property is
    financed through a borrowing by the tax-exempt stockholder), and
    (2)&#160;our stock is not otherwise used in an unrelated trade
    or business, distributions that we make and income from the sale
    of our stock generally should not give rise to UBTI to a
    tax-exempt stockholder.

    will not be a pension-held REIT unless (1)&#160;we are required
    to &#147;look through&#148; one or more of our pension trust
    stockholders in order to satisfy the REIT
    &#147;closely-held&#148; test, and (2)&#160;either (i)&#160;one

    (ii)&#160;one or more pension trusts, each individually holding
    more than 10% of the value of our stock, collectively owns more

    represent dividends or gains, even though they receive no cash.

    The Housing and Economic Recovery Tax Act of 2008 (the
    &#147;2008 Act&#148;) contains a number of rules intended to
    permit REITs additional flexibility in conducting their
    operations. For example, the 2008 Act liberalizes the rules
    relating to foreign currency income associated with real estate
    activities and permits the value of taxable REIT subsidiaries to
    represent up to 25% of a REIT&#146;s assets (rather than the
    current 20% limit). The 2008 Act, among other things, shortens
    from four years to two years the minimum holding period under
    the safe harbor provisions of the Code that prevent the
    imposition of the 100% prohibited transactions tax. While the
    2008 Act generally applies to taxable years beginning after the
    date of enactment, the rules relating to the prohibited
    transaction safe harbor apply to sales made after the date of
    enactment.

    While it is possible that an underwriter could inform us that it

    In connection with any offering of common stock, the
    underwriters may purchase and sell shares of common stock in the
    open market. These transactions may include short sales,
    syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions.
    Short sales involve syndicate sales of common stock in excess of
    the number of shares to be purchased by the underwriters in the
    offering, which creates a syndicate short position.
    &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales of shares made in an
    amount up to the number of shares represented by the
    underwriters&#146; over-allotment option. In determining the
    source of shares to close out the covered syndicate short
    position, the underwriters will consider, among other things,
    the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as
    compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through
    the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered
    syndicate short involve either purchases of the common stock in
    the open market after the distribution has been completed or the
    exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also
    make &#147;naked&#148; short sales of shares in excess of the
    over-allotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked
    short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open
    market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if
    the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward
    pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after
    pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in
    the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or
    purchases of shares in the open market while the offering is in
    progress for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the
    price of the securities.

    In connection with any offering, the underwriters may also
    engage in penalty bids. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to
    reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the
    securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased
    in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short
    positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering
    transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the
    securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the
    transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these
    transactions, discontinue them at any time.

    Statements that are not historical facts, including statements

    Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are
    made, and except for our ongoing obligations under the
    U.S.&#160;federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to
    publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a
    result of new information, future events or otherwise. Such
