BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES EXCHANGEABLE NOTES OFFERING

RADNOR, PA, September 27, 2006 – Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) today announced that its subsidiary, Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) has commenced an offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of exchangeable guaranteed notes due October 15, 2026, plus an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of notes that may be issued, at the option of the initial purchasers to cover over-allotments, if any, within 30 days of the initial issuance of the notes.

The notes will be unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Brandywine Realty Trust. The company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to repurchase concurrently with closing up to $60 million of Brandywine’s common shares; to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility; and to invest the balance in government or other short-term, rated securities pending redemption of its $300 million Floating Rate Guaranteed Notes due 2009 on January 2, 2007.

Upon the occurrence of specified events, the notes will be exchangeable at the option of the holder into cash and, at the Operating Partnership’s option, Brandywine common shares.

The notes will be sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The notes and the Brandywine common shares issuable upon exchange of the notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state laws. This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
