RE:Comment Letter to Essex Property Trust, Inc. dated April 1, 2009
 
Dear Mr. Efron:
 
We represent Essex Property Trust, Inc. (“Essex”).  We refer to the SEC’s comment letter, dated April 1, 2009, regarding Essex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, filed February 27, 2009 (File No. 001-13106).  Per a voicemail message to you, Essex would like an extension of time to May 15, 2009, by which to respond to that comment letter.  If such an extension of time is a problem, please contact me.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Stephen J. Schrader
