“We are extremely excited to expand our portfolio in our core markets and enter the Boston market, one of the nation’s least affordable homeownership markets,” said Tom Toomey, president and CEO. “Our entry into Boston exemplifies our strategy of owning homes in markets characterized by low home affordability with superior growth prospects.” Mr. Toomey continued, “We have also secured the acquisitions of three communities recently developed by The Hanover Company — 1818 Platinum Triangle, Ridge at Blue Hills and Domain Brewers Hill — at a substantial discount to their cost. The

¹ Pre-sale venture with an affiliate of The Hanover Company. Anticipated completion in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Hanover Company is widely recognized for developing the highest quality apartment communities that feature condo quality finishes and amenities. Collectively, these acquisitions will further enhance the overall quality of our portfolio as measured by average monthly income per occupied home, age and home size.”

1818 Platinum Triangle is located in the heart of Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle neighborhood, an emerging community in Orange County. The community is a short walk to The Grove of Anaheim live music venue, Angel Stadium and the Honda Center — home to Orange County’s two champion sports teams. Residents have easy access to all of Southern California via I-5, SR-57 and SR-22 freeways, The Anaheim Metrolink and John Wayne Airport. The community is located minutes away from Orange County’s coastal communities, UCI Medical Center, Disneyland, Westfield Main Place and The Block at Orange. Community amenities include a fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, theater and game rooms, multiple courtyards containing water features and an outdoor fireplace, an on-site parking garage and a rooftop pool and outdoor kitchen with views of the Angel Stadium and Disneyland. The community’s one- and two-bedroom homes feature generous floor plans, condo quality finishes with wood or tile flooring throughout and chef-caliber kitchens with granite countertops.

Marina Pointe is located in Marina del Rey and is minutes from popular attractions such as Fisherman’s Village, Burton Chace Park, Mother’s Beach, Venice, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. The community is close to Los Angeles International Airport and just 30 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. The acquisition of Marina Pointe creates a 1,051 home “pod” with two existing UDR communities, Jefferson at Marina del Rey (immediately adjacent) and Tierra del Rey (two blocks east). UDR is currently reviewing several revenue enhancing improvements for the community including adding washers and dryers and upgrading the kitchens and bathrooms. Community amenities include a business center, theatre room, fitness center, abundant underground parking, and a resort style swimming pool and spa surrounded by landscaped courtyards. The community’s homes include walk-in closets, fireplaces, nine-foot ceilings, and private patios and balconies.

Garrison Square is located at the crossroads of Boston’s historic Back Bay and South End neighborhoods and just steps away from both the orange and green lines of the “T”, greater Boston’s subway system. This core, infill location is a short walk to Back Bay’s fashionable shops, and the South End’s galleries and restaurants and borders Southwest Corridor Park and Copley Place. Community amenities include a rooftop terrace with a view of the Boston skyline, landscaped gardens, a private courtyard with fountains, concierge service, and on-site structured parking. The community’s one-, two- and three-bedroom homes include generous floor plans, condo quality finishes, chef-caliber kitchens, large closets and washers and dryers.

Ridge at Blue Hills is situated in the heart of Braintree, close to South Shore Plaza and just thirteen miles from the Boston CBD. The “T” stations in Braintree and Quincy are minutes away, alternatively Ridge at Blue Hills offers easy access to major traffic arteries. Community amenities include a fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, outdoor fireplace and poolside grill, theatre room with surround sound and stadium seating, and a resort-style swimming pool. The community’s one- and two-bedroom homes feature generous floor plans, condo quality finishes including designer kitchens with black on black appliances, maple cabinetry, slate tile bathroom flooring and full size washers and dryers.

Domain Brewers Hill is located on the corner of South Conkling and Toone Streets, part of Brewers Hill, the newly revitalized Canton neighborhood just east of downtown Baltimore. The location provides easy access to I-895 (Harbor Tunnel Thruway) and I-95, with direct access to Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. The community is minutes to the Inner Harbor, John Hopkins Medical Center, John Hopkins Bayview, Harbor East, Patterson Park and Fells Point. Community amenities include a resident lounge, conference center, fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, two courtyards with fireplaces and grilling areas, and an on-site parking garage. The community’s one- and two-bedroom homes feature generous floor plans, condo quality finishes including hardwood floors, slate tile entryway flooring, large walk-in closets, granite kitchen and bath countertops, chef-caliber kitchens with stainless steel appliances and views of downtown Baltimore and the harbor.

UDR will also enter into a pre-sale venture with an affiliate of The Hanover Company to develop a 240-home community built to the same quality and amenity specifications as other recently acquired Hanover communities. Lodge at Stoughton will be well located and served by the “T” commuter rail station located 3.4 miles to the southwest and will feature immediate highway access to Route 24 (0.3 miles west), the second largest industrial arterial serving the Boston area.
