     This Amendment No. 26 (this "Amendment") is being filed to a Schedule 13D
dated March 1, 1990 and filed by Security Capital Group Incorporated, formerly
known as Security Capital Realty Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (as
successor to Security Capital Realty Investors Incorporated) ("Security
Capital"), on March 2, 1990 and amended on March 5, 1990, March 8, 1990, March

1994, December 6, 1994, March 23, 1995, April 30, 1997 and October 8, 1997.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

     This Amendment relates to common shares of beneficial interest, $1.00 par
value per share (the "Common Shares"), of Security Capital Pacific Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust ("PTR"), the principal executive offices
of which are at 7670 South Chester Street, Englewood, Colorado 80112.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 1, 1998
between PTR and Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"), upon the
closing of the proposed merger described in Item 4 below, each share of ATLANTIC
common stock ("ATLANTIC Stock") shall be converted into the right to receive one
Common Share. As a result, if the transaction occurs as currently proposed,
Security Capital will acquire 23,853,211 Common Shares in exchange for its
23,853,211 shares of ATLANTIC Stock.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     Except as described below, there are no other changes to report from the
responses previously provided in response to this Item requirement.

     Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 1, 1998
between PTR and ATLANTIC (the "Merger Agreement"), subject to certain terms and
conditions and upon the consummation of the merger contemplated therein (the
"Merger"), ATLANTIC shall be merged with and into PTR, which shall be the
surviving entity, and that, in consideration for the Merger, each outstanding
share of ATLANTIC Stock shall be converted into the right to receive one Common
Share and each share of ATLANTIC Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
("ATLANTIC Series A Preferred") shall be converted into the right to receive one
share of PTR Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Security Capital
owns approximately 49.9% of the outstanding shares of ATLANTIC Stock and
approximately 32.9% of the outstanding Common Shares. Pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement, the Merger requires the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares of ATLANTIC Stock and the approval of two-thirds of the
outstanding Common Shares. No approval by the holders of the ATLANTIC Series A
Preferred or any series of PTR preferred shares of beneficial interest is
required to consummate the Merger.

     To induce the parties to enter into the Merger Agreement, Security Capital
has entered into a Shareholder Voting Agreement with ATLANTIC and PTR pursuant
to which, among other things and subject to certain terms and conditions,
requires Security Capital (i) not to sell, otherwise dispose of, deposit into a
voting trust, enter into a voting agreement or grant any proxy with respect to
any of the shares of ATLANTIC Stock or the Common Shares, (ii) to cause all of
the shares of ATLANTIC Stock and Common Shares it owns to be voted in favor of
the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to cause such shares of
ATLANTIC Stock and Common Shares to be voted against any alternative transaction
(as further described in Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement) to the Merger and
(iii) not to initiate, solicit, or encourage, directly or indirectly, any
inquiries or the making or implementation of any proposal or offer with respect
to any alternative transaction to the Merger or engage in any negotiations or
discussions concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, any
person with respect to any such alternative transaction or otherwise facilitate
any effort or attempt to make or implement such alternative transaction. If
either ATLANTIC or PTR exercises its rights under Section 5.4 of the Merger
Agreement whereby it will consider a specific alternative transaction to the
Merger, then Security Capital shall be relieved of the restrictions set forth in
clause (iii) of the preceding sentence with respect to such specific alternative
transaction. The Shareholder Voting Agreement will terminate upon the
consummation of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement.
