FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

        INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO POST BOARD RE-EMPHASIZE SLATE'S
           COMMITMENT TO PURSUING SALE TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE

                 QUESTION COMPANY'S WILLINGNESS TO DO THE SAME;
                     RESPOND TO COMPANY'S LATEST STATEMENTS

         SHAREHOLDERS HAVE CLEAR CHOICE WITH 7 DAYS UNTIL ANNUAL MEETING


ATLANTA, May 15, 2003 -- John A. Williams, George R. Puskar, independent
director nominee and proposed non-executive Chairman, and Edward Lowenthal,
President and Chief Executive Officer designate of Post Properties, Inc. (NYSE:
PPS), today re-emphasized the slate of independent director-nominees' commitment
to pursuing immediately a sale of the company while market conditions are
favorable. They further questioned recent statements by the incumbent Board
about its willingness to do the same.

Messrs. Williams, Puskar and Lowenthal said, "We congratulate the company for
once again following in our footsteps in accepting measures we proposed, even
though they had previously refused to adopt them. Unfortunately, we believe the
company is still missing the key point: namely, that this is the right time to
pursue a sale. We don't believe the incumbent directors deserve to be re-elected
by Post shareholders based on a promise to form a special committee at some time
in the future as they think may be appropriate. We think that the appropriate
time is long past due.

"After all, this is the same group that decided once before that it was not in
the best interests of all shareholders to pursue an all cash premium offer from
a third party, and then failed to set up a special committee of the Board, as
John Williams urged. Why should shareholders have any confidence that the
incumbent directors and management would act any differently the next time
around? Today's statements by the company are too little, too late for
shareholders, who deserve real and immediate action. We believe Post
shareholders want to put in place a new board that will pursue a sale of the
company to maximize shareholder value now.

 "We believe it is important for shareholders to know that a leading independent
Wall Street research firm specializing in real estate and REITs has said:

         In a liquidation scenario, we believe shareholders would likely reap
         between $26.00 and $30.00 [per share]. All in all, we believe the most
         likely sale price for the company would be in the upper-half of the
         liquidation value range.

                                             Green Street Advisors, May 14, 2003





"Although there can be no assurance that a sale transaction in the price range
of $28 to $30 per share as described above will be achieved, we believe that
given the favorable market conditions, this is the right time to take advantage
of low capitalization and interest rates and pursue selling the company to
maximize shareholder value. This price range, if achieved, would imply a premium
of 22% to 31% over Post shares' normalized trading level based on historical
multiples.

"Remember, Post's stock closed at $22.95 per share on March 14, 2003, the date
the company received the $26 per share offer from General Investment &
Development (GID). This price represented a 2003 Funds From Operations (FFO)
multiple of 10.7x, based on current First Call estimates, which is consistent
with the company's five-year average multiple.

         DON'T RISK THE STATUS QUO. TIME IS SHORT. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

       POST PROPERTIES SHAREHOLDERS DESERVE A NEW BOARD THEY CAN TRUST TO
                   SEEK TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE TODAY.

                          VOTE YOUR GOLD PROXY TODAY.

"Our slate of independent director-nominees is clearly the one to pursue selling
the company and we believe that now is the right time to undertake a sale
process as detailed in the letter mailed to all Post Properties shareholders
today."
