1. Description of Business

Business. Formed on May 25, 1993, Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is primarily engaged in the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, acquisition, and construction of multifamily apartment communities. Our multifamily apartment communities are referred to as “communities,” “multifamily communities,” “properties,” or “multifamily properties” in the following discussion. As of March 31, 2014, we owned interests in, operated, or were developing 183 multifamily properties comprised of 64,150 apartment homes across the United States. Of the 183 properties, 14 properties were under construction, and when completed will consist of a total of 4,434 apartment homes. Additionally, we are adding a subsequent phase to a stabilized community which when completed will consist of 75 apartment homes, and we own land holdings we may develop into multifamily apartment communities in the future.
