and other affiliates (including, Colonial Properties Services Limited

This annual report on Form 10-K contains certain "forward-looking
statements", including but not limited to anticipated timetables for
acquisitions, developments and expansions, expected economic growth in

CRLP is the Operating Partnership of the Company, which is one of the
largest owners, developers and operators of multifamily, retail and office
properties in the Sunbelt region of the United States. It is a fully-integrated
real estate company, whose activities include ownership of a diversified

million square feet of retail space (the "Retail Properties"), and certain
parcels of land adjacent to or near certain of these properties (the "Land").
(The Multifamily Properties, the Office Properties, the Retail Properties, and
the Land are referred to collectively as the "Properties"). As of December 31,
1999, the Multifamily Properties, the Office Properties, and the Retail

CRLP's executive offices are located at 2101 Sixth Avenue North, Suite
750, Birmingham, Alabama, 35203 and its telephone number is (205) 250-8700. CRLP
was formed in Delaware on August 6, 1993.


Formation of the Company and the Operating Partnership

The Company and the Operating Partnership were formed to succeed to
substantially all of the interests of Colonial Properties, Inc., an Alabama
corporation ("Colonial"), its affiliates and certain other entities in a
diversified portfolio of multifamily, office, and retail properties located in
Alabama, Florida, and Georgia and to the development, acquisition, management,
leasing, and brokerage businesses of Colonial.

On September 29, 1993, (i) the Company consummated an initial public
offering (the "IPO") of 8,480,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest,
$.01 par value per share ("Common Shares"), (ii) the Operating Partnership
assumed ownership of 36 Properties (or interests therein) held by Thomas H.
Lowder, James K. Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, and their mother, Catherine Lowder
(the "Lowder family"), and third-party partners of the Lowder family, and the
operating businesses of Colonial, (iii) the Company transferred the net proceeds
from the IPO through Colonial Properties Holding Company, Inc. ("CPHC"), which
was dissolved in 1998, to the Operating Partnership, in exchange for 8,480,000
units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units"),
(iv) the Operating Partnership repaid approximately $150.2 million of
indebtedness and prepayment penalties associated therewith secured by certain of
the Properties, and (v) the Operating Partnership established a $35.0 million
line of credit with SouthTrust Bank, which has since been increased to $250.0
million, to fund development activities and property acquisitions and for
general corporate purposes (collectively, the "Formation Transactions"). On
October 28, 1993, the underwriters of the IPO exercised an over-allotment option
to purchase an additional 686,200 shares.


Recent Developments

Since the IPO, CRLP has significantly expanded its portfolio of
Properties and its operating businesses. Acquisitions by CRLP of new properties
represent a total investment of over $1.3 billion. CRLP has also completed the
expansion and development of 17 multifamily properties since the IPO, adding a
total of 3,474 units to its multifamily portfolio. CRLP currently has seven
active expansion, development, and redevelopment projects in progress for
Multifamily Properties, one Office Property development, and five Retail
Property developments and redevelopments. CRLP has also disposed of 13
Multifamily Properties representing 4,783 apartment units, and one Office
Property representing 25,000 square feet of office space, and has entered into
three joint ventures.

The following is a summary of CRLP's acquisition, disposition, joint
venture, and development activity in 1999.

Acquisition and Disposition Activity

CRLP disposed of seven Multifamily Properties, including three in
Florida, two in Alabama, and two in Georgia, representing 2,319 units for a
total sale price of $119.8 million.

CRLP acquired one Office Property, in Alabama, containing 163,000
square feet of office space for a total purchase price of $16.5 million.

CRLP also added 468,000 square feet of retail shopping space through
the acquisition of an enclosed mall at a net cost of $29.3 million.


Joint Ventures

During the third quarter of 1999, CRLP entered into a joint venture
with CMS, a Delaware general partnership. In connection with this joint venture,
CRLP sold the following six properties: Colonial Village at Stockbridge,
Colonial Grand at Barrington Club, Colonial Grand at Ponte Vedra, Colonial
Village at River Hills, Colonial Grand at Mountain Brook, and Colonial Village
at Cahaba Heights. CMS acquired an 85% interest in the joint venture from CRLP
for $80.6 million. CRLP acquired a 15% interest in the joint venture and will
serve as manager of the properties. Subsequent to formation, the joint venture
leveraged the properties for a total of $73.6 million of nonrecourse notes, and
the proceeds were distributed proportionately to the joint venture partners. At
December 31, 1999, CRLP had an ending net investment in the joint venture of
$2.8 million.

Development Activity

During 1999, CRLP completed development of 1,404 new apartment units in
10 multifamily communities and acquired land on which it intends to develop
additional multifamily communities during 2000 and 2001. The aggregate cost of
this multifamily development activity was $105.1 million. As of December 31,
1999, CRLP had 1,290 apartment units in seven multifamily communities under
development, redevelopment, or expansion. Management anticipates that the seven
multifamily projects will be completed during 2000 and 2001. Management expects
to invest an additional $15.5 million over this period to complete these
multifamily projects.

During 1999, CRLP completed development of two office properties, and
began development of one office property in Atlanta, Georgia. The aggregate
investment in the office developments during 1999 was $30.8 million. Management
estimates that it will invest an additional $14.0 million to complete these
projects.

During 1999, CRLP continued development of a community shopping center
in Birmingham, Alabama, began construction of two new community shopping
centers, and began the redevelopment of an enclosed mall and community shopping
center. The aggregate investment in these retail developments during 1999 was
$32.0 million. Management anticipates that it will invest an additional $68.6
million to complete the retail developments.

completed the following equity and debt transactions:

August Medium-term August, 2004 8.19% $ 25,000

CRLP's current borrowing capacity under its unsecured line of credit is
$250 million. The credit facility, which is used by CRLP primarily to finance
additional property investments, bears interest at a rate ranging between 80 and
135 basis points above LIBOR and is renewable in July 2000. The line of credit
agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP to convert up
to $125 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed term not
to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 1999, the balance outstanding on CRLP's
line of credit was $228.3 million.


Business Strategy

The general business strategy of the Company and CRLP is to generate
stable and increasing cash flow and portfolio value for their shareholders and
unitholders, respectively. The Company and CRLP have implemented this strategy
principally by (i) realizing growth in income from its existing portfolio of
properties, (ii) developing, expanding, and selectively acquiring additional
multifamily, office, and retail properties in growth markets located in the
Sunbelt region of the United States, where CRLP has first-hand knowledge of
growth patterns and local economic conditions, (iii) managing its own
properties, which has enabled it to better control operating expenses and
establish long-term relationships with its office and retail tenants, (iv)
maintaining its third-party property management business, which has increased
cash flow and established additional relationships with tenants, and (v)
employing a comprehensive capital maintenance program to maintain properties in
first-class condition. CRLP's business strategy and the implementation of that
strategy are determined by CRLP's board of trustees and may be changed from time
to time.


Financing Strategy

CRLP's strategy is to maintain coverage ratios in order to sustain its
investment grade status. CRLP's total market capitalization as of December 31,
1999, was $2.0 billion, and its ratio of debt to total market capitalization was
51.3%. We calculate debt to total market capitalization as total debt as a
percentage of total debt, including preferred units, plus the market value of
our outstanding common shares of beneficial interest and the outstanding units.
At December 31, 1999, CRLP's total debt included fixed-rate debt of $758.0
million, or 72.9% of total debt, and floating-rate debt of $281.9 million, or
27.1% of total debt. CRLP has obtained interest rate protection for $50.0
million of the floating-rate debt.

CRLP has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments
and does not use them for trading purposes. Interest rate cap agreements and
interest rate swaps are used to reduce the potential impact of increases in
interest rates on variable-rate debt. Treasury lock agreements are used by CRLP
to lock in interest rates in connection with public debt offerings. On January
4, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for $50 million of its line of
credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135 basis points and on January 15, 1999, CRLP
entered into an interest rate swap for $52 million of tax exempt bonds at a rate
of 3.23%. Additionally, on May 4, 1999, Colonial entered into an interest rate
swap agreement for $25 million of its line of credit at a rate of 5.07%. All of
these interest rate swap agreements have one-year terms and any payments made or
received under the agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense
as incurred. On February 10, 2000, CRLP entered into two reverse interest rate
swap agreements for a total of $50 million of its medium-term notes. Under the
terms of the agreements, Colonial will receive a fixed interest rate of 7.37%
and will be required to pay a floating rate equal to one month LIBOR that is
compounded and paid semi-annually. Both of these agreements have five-year
terms, and any payments made or received under the agreements are recognized as
adjustments to interest expense. CRLP is exposed to credit losses in the event
of nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate cap and
nonderivative financial assets but has no off-balance-sheet credit risk of
accounting loss. CRLP anticipates, however, that counterparties will be able to
fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. CRLP does not obtain
collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties.

CRLP may from time to time reevaluate its borrowing policies in light
of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital,
market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities, and other
factors. CRLP may modify its borrowing policy and may increase or decrease its
ratio of debt to total market capitalization. To the extent that the board of
trustees of the Company, the general partner of CRLP, determines to seek
additional capital, CRLP may raise such capital through additional equity
offerings, debt financings, asset dispositions, or retention of cash flow
(subject to provisions in the Code requiring the distribution by a REIT of a
certain percentage of taxable income and taking into account taxes that would be
imposed on undistributed taxable income) or a combination of these methods.

Property Management

CRLP is experienced in the management and leasing of multifamily,
office, and retail properties and believes that the management and leasing of
its own portfolio has helped the Properties maintain consistent income growth
and has resulted in reduced operating expenses from the Properties. The
third-party management, leasing, and brokerage businesses conducted through the
Management Corporation have provided CRLP both with a source of cash flow that
is relatively stable and with the benefits of economies of scale in conjunction
with the management and leasing of its own properties. These businesses also
allow CRLP to establish additional relationships with tenants who may require
additional office or retail space and to identify potential acquisitions.

Operational Structure

Multifamily Division--CRLP's multifamily division is responsible for
all aspects of CRLP's multifamily operations, including day-to-day management
and leasing of the 52 Multifamily Properties, as well as the provision of
third-party management services for apartment communities in which CRLP does not
have an ownership interest or has a non-controlling ownership interest. The
multifamily division utilizes centralized functions of accounting, information
technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for investments
in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also centralized. The
multifamily division has regional offices in Birmingham, Alabama, Orlando,
Pensacola, and Tampa, Florida, Macon, Georgia, and Greenville, South Carolina.

Office Division--CRLP's office division is responsible for all aspects
of CRLP's commercial office operations, including the provision of management
and leasing services for the 18 Office Properties, as well as the provision of
third-party management services for office properties in which CRLP does not
have an ownership interest and for brokerage services in other office property
transactions. The office division utilizes centralized functions of accounting,
information technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized. The office division has regional offices in Birmingham, Alabama and
Atlanta, Georgia.

Retail Division--CRLP's retail division is responsible for all aspects
of CRLP's retail operations, including the provision of management and leasing
services for the 41 Retail Properties, as well as the provision of third-party
management services for retail properties in which CRLP does not have an
ownership interest and for brokerage services in other retail property
transactions. The retail division utilizes centralized functions of accounting,
information technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized. The retail division has regional offices in Birmingham, Alabama,
Orlando, Florida, Macon, Georgia and Burlington, North Carolina.

Employees

CRLP employs approximately 1,000 persons, including on-site property
employees who provide services for the Properties that CRLP owns and/or manages.

Tax Status

CRLP has no provision for income taxes since all taxable income or loss
or tax credits are passed through to the partners. The Company has made an
election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with its taxable year
ending December 31, 1993. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the
Company generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent it
distributes at least 95% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. Even if
the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to
certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income
and excise taxes on its undistributed income.




RISK FACTORS

Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to investors
who purchase or own our units of limited partnership. Our units are redeemable
for cash or, at the election of Colonial Properties Trust, on a one-for-one
basis for Colonial Properties Trust's shares of beneficial interest.

Our performance and share value are subject to risks associated with
the real estate industry. If our assets do not generate income sufficient to pay
our expenses, service our debt and maintain our properties, we may not be able
to make expected distributions to our unitholders. Whether our properties will
generate sufficient revenue to pay our expenses and permit us to make
distributions to our unitholders will depend on whether we can attract tenants
at favorable rental rates and whether we can adequately control our costs.
Factors that may adversely affect our ability to attract tenants or to generate
sufficient revenue include:

o local conditions such as an oversupply of multifamily, retail or
office properties or a reduction in demand for multifamily, office or
retail properties;

o the attractiveness of our properties to residents, shoppers and tenants;

o decreases in market rental rates; and

o our ability to collect rent from our tenants.

Factors that may adversely affect our operating costs include:

o the need to pay for adequate insurance and other operating costs,
including real estate taxes, which could increase over time; and

o the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space.

Our expenses may remain constant even if our revenues drop. The
expenses of owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when
circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in income
from the property. As a result, if revenues drop, we may not be able to reduce
our expenses accordingly. Loan payments are an example of a cost that will not
be reduced if our revenues drop. If a property is mortgaged and we are unable to
meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose on the mortgage and take
the property, resulting in a further reduction in revenues.

We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire.
When our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, we may
not be able to re-lease the space. Even if the tenants do renew or we can relet
the space, the terms of renewal or re-leasing, including the cost of required
renovations, may be less favorable than current lease terms. If we are unable to
promptly renew the leases or re-leasing the space, or if the rental rates upon
such renewal or re-leasing are significantly lower than expected rates, then our
cash flow and ability to service debt and make distributions to unitholders
would be adversely affected.

We depend on local economic conditions in our primary markets. All of
our properties are located in the Sunbelt region of the United States and 45 of
our properties are located in Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama, Orlando,
Florida and Macon, Georgia. Our performance and ability to make debt service
payments or distributions to unitholders could be adversely affected by economic
conditions in the Sunbelt region and in Birmingham, Montgomery, Orlando and
Macon in particular.

New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected. Assuming we are able
to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, we intend to selectively
acquire multifamily, retail or office properties where we perceive strategic
opportunities consistent with our strategy. Newly acquired properties may fail
to perform as expected. We may underestimate the costs necessary to bring an
acquired property up to the standards we have established for its intended
market position. In addition, we may not be in a position or have the
opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on favorable
terms. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources", included under Item 7
of this Form 10-K.

Competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for
properties. We expect other major real estate investors with significant capital
to compete with us for attractive investment opportunities. These competitors
include publicly traded REITs, private REITs, investment banking firms and
private institutional investment funds. This competition could increase prices
for multifamily, retail or office properties.

Our development and expansion activities subject us to risks. We intend
to continue to develop new properties and expand existing properties where we
believe that development or expansion is consistent with our business
strategies. New projects subject us to a number of risks, including risks that:

o construction delays or cost overruns may increase project costs;

o permanent debt or equity financing may not be available on acceptable
terms to finance new development or expansion projects;

o we may fail to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels;

o we may fail to secure required zoning, occupancy and other governmental
permits and authorizations; and

o changes in applicable zoning or land use laws may require us to abandon
projects prior to their completion, resulting in the loss of
development costs incurred prior to abandonment.

Because real estate investments are illiquid, we may not be able to
sell properties when appropriate. Real estate investments generally cannot be
sold quickly. We may not be able to vary our portfolio promptly in response to
economic or other conditions. This inability to respond to changes in the
performance of our investments could adversely affect our ability to service
debt and make distributions to our unitholders.

Scheduled debt payments could adversely affect our financial condition.
Our business is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing. If
principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with
proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our cash
flow will not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt. If
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, such as
the possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans, result
in higher interest rates, increased interest expense would adversely affect cash
flow and our ability to service our debt and make distributions to unitholders.

Our obligation to comply with financial covenants in our debt
agreements could restrict our range of operating activities. Our credit facility
contains customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our
ability to incur indebtedness, including:

o debt to assets ratios;

o secured debt to total assets ratios;

o debt service coverage ratios; and

o minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt.

The indenture under which our senior unsecured indebtedness is issued
contains financial and operating covenants including coverage ratios. Our
indenture also limits our ability to (1) incur secured and unsecured
indebtedness, (2) sell all or substantially all or our assets and (3) engage in
mergers, consolidations and acquisitions.

Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional
financing. Our "debt to market capitalization" ratio, which we calculate as
total debt as a percentage of total debt plus the market value of our
outstanding common shares and the outstanding units of Colonial Realty, was
approximately 51.3% as of December 31, 1999. Increases in our leverage could
adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for
(1) working capital, (2) capital expenditures, (3) acquisitions, (4) development
or (5) other general corporate purposes, and may make us more vulnerable to a
downturn in business or the economy generally.

Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow. Advances
under our credit facility bear interest at a variable rate ranging between 80
and 135 basis points above LIBOR. We may borrow additional money with variable
interest rates in the future, and may enter into other transactions to limit our
exposure to rising interest rates as appropriate and cost effective. Increases
in interest rates, or the loss of the benefits of hedging agreements, would
increase our interest expense, which would adversely affect cash flow and our
ability to service our debt and make distributions to unitholders.

Environmental problems are possible and can be costly. Federal, state
and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may
require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to investigate
and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at the
property, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew or caused the
presence of the contaminants. If unidentified environmental problems arise at
one of our properties, we may have to make substantial payments to a
governmental entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation
and clean-up costs. Even if more that one person may have been responsible for
the contamination, we may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs
incurred. Our liability under environmental laws could adversely affect our cash
flow and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders.

At one of our properties, the Gadsden Mall in Gadsden, Alabama, four
underground storage tanks were removed in 1989. In connection with the removal
of these gasoline storage tanks, associated petroleum contamination was
discovered in the soil and groundwater. We are currently working with the state
regulatory agency to remediate the contamination in accordance with applicable
requirements. Because the tanks were registered with the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management and the facility was in compliance with regulations
prior to the incident, we have been reimbursed under the Alabama Underground
Storage Tank Trust Fund for the costs incurred to date in connection with the
ongoing cleanup, and expect to be reimbursed for the remaining costs as well. We
have received a "no further action" letter from the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management.

On December 29, 1998, we acquired Bel Air Mall in Mobile, Alabama.
During the course of our environmental due diligence, we identified several
different areas of the property in which contamination is present. One of those
areas involves drycleaner solvent; the others involve petroleum contamination.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management is overseeing the
investigation and cleanup of the drycleaner contamination. It is possible that a
claim could be asserted against us, as owner of the property, for the
investigation and remediation of the contamination. Pursuant to the purchase and
sale agreement, the former owner of the property purchased a $10 million
insurance policy and established escrow accounts totaling $1,275,000 to cover
the costs associated with investigating and remediating the contaminated areas.
In addition, subject to limitations, the seller will be performing all required
remediation of the drycleaner contamination.

Some of our general partners' trustees and officers have conflicts of
interest and could exercise influence in a manner inconsistent with unitholders'
best interests. As a result of their substantial ownership of the Company's
common shares and units of CRLP, Messrs. Thomas Lowder, our Chairman of the
Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and James Lowder, Harold Ripps,
Herbert Meisler and William Johnson, each of whom is a trustee, might seek to
exert influence over our decisions as to sales or refinancings of particular
properties we own. Any such exercise of influence might produce decisions which
are not in the best interest of all of our unitholders.

The Lowder family, which includes Thomas, James, Robert and Catherine
Lowder and their affiliates, holds interests in companies that have performed
construction management, insurance brokerage and other services with respect to
our properties. These companies may perform similar services for us in the
future. As a result, the Lowder family may realize benefits from transactions
between such companies and us that are not realized by other unitholders. In
addition, Thomas Lowder and his brother, James Lowder, as trustees, may be in a
position to influence us to do business with companies in which the Lowder
family has a financial interest. Our policies may not be successful in
eliminating the influence of conflicts. Moreover, transactions with companies
controlled by the Lowder family, if any, may not be on terms as favorable to us
as we could obtain in an arms-length transaction with a third party.

We do not control our management, leasing and brokerage businesses. To
facilitate maintenance of Colonial Properties Trust's REIT qualification,
Colonial Properties Trust has a "non-controlled subsidiary" which conducts
management, leasing and brokerage business for properties we do not wholly own.
While Colonial Properties Trust owns 99% of the economic interest in the
non-controlled subsidiary, 99% of its voting stock is owned by members of the
Lowder family. We therefore lack the ability to set the business policies and
operations of the non-controlled subsidiary.

We are dependent on external sources of capital. To qualify as a REIT,
Colonial Properties Trust must distribute to its shareholders each year at least
95% (90% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000) of its net taxable
income, excluding any net capital gain. Because of these distribution
requirements, it is not likely that we will be able to fund all future capital
needs from income from operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party
sources of capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at
all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things,
including the market's perception of our growth potential and our current and
potential future earnings. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in
substantial dilution of shareholders' interests, and additional debt financing
may substantially increase our leverage.

We intend to qualify as a partnership, but cannot guarantee that we
will qualify. We intend to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. However, we will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes if we are a "publicly traded partnership," unless at least 90% of our
income is qualifying income as defined in the tax code. The income requirements
applicable to REITs and the definition of qualifying income for purposes of this
90% test are similar in most, but not all, respects. Qualifying income for the
90% test generally includes passive income, such as specified types of real
property rents, dividends and interest. We cannot guarantee that we will meet
this qualifying income test. If we were to be taxed as a corporation, we would
incur substantial tax liabilities, Colonial Properties Trust would fail to
qualify as a REIT for tax purposes and Colonial Properties Trust's and our
ability to raise additional capital could be impaired.

Colonial Properties Trust intends to qualify as a REIT, but we cannot
guarantee that it will qualify. We believe that Colonial Properties Trust has
qualified for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with
our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. If Colonial Properties Trust qualifies
as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on its income
that it distributes to its shareholders. Colonial Properties Trust plans to
continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT, but it may not qualify
as a REIT. Many of the REIT requirements are highly technical and complex. The
determination that Colonial Properties Trust is a REIT requires an analysis of
various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totally within its
control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income
must come from certain sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. Colonial
Properties Trust is also required to distribute to shareholders at least 95%
(90% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000) of our REIT taxable
income, excluding capital gains. The fact that Colonial Properties Trust holds
its assets through Colonial Realty further complicates the application of the
REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize
Colonial Properties Trust's REIT status. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might
make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new
rulings that make it more difficult, or impossible, for Colonial Properties
Trust to remain qualified as a REIT. We do not believe, however, that any
pending or proposed tax law changes would jeopardize its REIT status.

If Colonial Properties Trust failed to qualify as a REIT, Colonial
Properties Trust would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate
rates. Also, unless the IRS granted us relief under certain statutory
provisions, Colonial Properties Trust would remain disqualified as a REIT for
the four years following the year Colonial Properties Trust first failed to
qualify. If Colonial Properties Trust failed to qualify as a REIT, it would have
to pay significant income taxes and would therefore have less money available
for investments or for distributions to shareholders. This would likely have a
significant adverse affect on the value of our securities. In addition, Colonial
Properties Trust would no longer be required to make any distributions to
shareholders, but we would still be required to distribute quarterly
substantially all of our net cash revenues to our unitholders.

REIT Modernization Act changes to the REIT asset tests. Currently, a
REIT may not own securities in any one issuer if the value of those securities
exceeds 5% of the value of the REIT's total assets or the securities owned by
the REIT represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities.
As a result of the REIT Modernization Act, after December 31, 2000, the 5% value
test and the 10% voting security test will be modified in two respects. First,
the 10% voting securities test will be expanded so that REITs also will be
prohibited from owning more than 10% of the value of the outstanding securities
of any one issuer. Second, an exception to these tests that will allow a REIT to
own securities of a subsidiary that exceed the 5% value test and the new 10%
vote or value test if the subsidiary elects to be a "taxable REIT subsidiary,"
which would be a fully taxable corporation. The expanded 10% vote or value test,
however, will not apply to an existing subsidiary unless it engages in a
substantial new line of business or acquires any substantial asset or the
Company acquires any securities in that subsidiary after July 12, 1999. Under a
new asset test, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000, the Company
will not be able to own securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries that represent
in the aggregate more than 20% of the value of the Company's total assets. At
the present time, no decision has been made as to whether Colonial Property
Services, Inc. will elect to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary.

Several provisions of the new law will ensure that a taxable REIT
subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation.
For example, a taxable REIT subsidiary will be limited in its ability to deduct
interest payments made to an affiliated REIT. In addition, the REIT will have to
pay a 100% penalty tax on some payments that it receives if the economic
arrangements between the REIT, the REIT's tenants, and the taxable REIT
subsidiary are not comparable to similar arrangements between unrelated parties.

Undeveloped Land

CRLP owns nine undeveloped land parcels consisting of approximately
175.0 acres (collectively, the "Land"). Land adjacent to Multifamily Properties
typically will be considered for potential development of another phase of an
existing Multifamily Property if CRLP determines that the particular market can
absorb additional apartment units. CRLP currently owns one such parcel. For
expansions at Retail Properties, CRLP owns parcels both contiguous to the
boundaries of Retail Properties, which would accommodate expansion of the mall
or shopping center, and outparcels which are suitable for restaurants, financial
institutions or free standing retailers. CRLP owns two such parcels.

CRLP believes that the demographic and economic trends and conditions
in the markets where the Properties are located indicate a potential for
continued growth in property net operating income. The Properties are located in
a variety of distinct submarkets within Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. However,
Birmingham, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama, Orlando, Tampa and
Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida, and Macon and Atlanta, Georgia, are CRLP's primary
markets. CRLP believes that its markets in these nine states, which are
characterized by stable and increasing population and employment growth, should
continue to provide a steady demand for multifamily, office, and retail
properties.


Mortgage Financing

Certain of the Properties are subject to mortgage indebtedness. The
Properties whose financial results are consolidated in the financial statements
of CRLP are subject to existing mortgage indebtedness and other notes payable in
an aggregate amount as of December 31, 1999, of approximately $1.04 billion
carrying a weighted average interest rate of 7.15% and a weighted average
maturity of 7.0 years. The mortgage indebtedness on the Properties as of
December 31, 1999, is set forth in the table below:

(1) As noted in the table, certain Properties were developed in phases and
separate mortgage indebtedness may encumber each of the various phases. In
the listing of property names, CG has been used as an abbreviation for
Colonial Grand and CV as an abbreviation for Colonial Village.
(2) All of the mortgages can be prepaid at any time, subject to prepayment
penalties calculated typically on a percentage basis, except for the
mortgages encumbering CV at Rocky Ridge, CV at Inverness Lakes, and CV at
Hillwood, which are closed to prepayment for varying lengths of time.
(3) The maturity date noted represents the date on which credit enhancement
expires for the tax-exempt municipal bonds put in place as part of the
original financing for the Property. The stated maturity date for the loans
is August 1, 2007.
(4) These loans are financed through tax-exempt bonds which are credit enhanced
by Fannie Mae. The loans, which bear interest at a weekly variable interest
rate, require monthly interest payments through June 2006 and principal and
interest payments from July 2006 through June 2026. The weighted average
interest rate of these three loans was 3.93% at December 31, 1999. On
February 15, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for these bonds
at a rate of 3.23%.
(5) The maturity date noted represents the date on which credit enhancement
expires for the tax-exempt municipal bonds put in place as part of the
original financing for the Property. The stated maturity date for the loans
is August 1, 2022.
(6) The maturity date noted represents the date on which credit enhancement
expires for the tax-exempt municipal bonds put in place as part of the
original financing for the Property. The stated maturity date for the loans
is August 1, 2010.
(7) This line of credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, based on
LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 80 to 135 basis points. At December
31, 1999, the line of credit facility bore interest at a rate of 95 basis
points above LIBOR. The facility also includes a competitive bid feature
that allows CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to
a fixed rate, for a fixed term not to exceed 90 days. At December 31, 1999,
there were no amounts outstanding under the competitive bid feature.
(8) This credit facility has a term of two years beginning in July 1998 and
provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal. On
January 4, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for $50.0 million
of its line of credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135 basis points. Additionally,
on May 4, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for $25.0 million
on its line of credit at a rate of 5.07%.



In addition to the foregoing mortgage debt, the six Multifamily
Properties, two Office Properties and two Retail Properties in which CRLP owns
partial interests (and which therefore are not consolidated in the financial
statements of CRLP) also are subject to existing mortgage indebtedness. CRLP's
pro-rata share of such indebtedness as of December 31, 1999, was $49,027,000,
which carried a weighted average interest rate of 7.1%. The maturity dates of
these loans range from February 1, 2000 to October 1, 2009 and as of December
31, 1999, the loans had a weighted average maturity of 9.9 years.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Neither CRLP nor the Properties are presently subject to any material
litigation nor, to CRLP's knowledge, is any material litigation threatened
against CRLP or the Properties, other than routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business which is expected to be covered by liability
insurance.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to CRLP's unitholders during the fourth
quarter of 1999.







PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder
Matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Units. As of
March 8, 2000, there were 116 holders of record of Units.

CRLP has made consecutive quarterly distributions since its formation
in the third quarter of 1993. CRLP's ability to make distributions depends on a
number of factors, including its net cash provided by operating activities,
capital commitments and debt repayment schedules. Holders of Units are entitled
to receive distributions when, as and if declared by the Board of Trustees of
the Company, its general partner, out of any funds legally available for that
purpose.

The following table sets forth the distributions per Unit paid by CRLP
during the periods noted:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

GENERAL

Colonial Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership is the
operating partnership of Colonial Properties Trust, an Alabama real estate
investment trust (the "Company"), whose shares are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. The Company is engaged in the ownership, development, management, and
leasing of multifamily communities, office buildings, retail malls and shopping
centers. The Company owns and operates properties in nine states in the Sunbelt
region of the United States. As of December 31, 1999, CRLP's real estate
portfolio consisted of 52 multifamily communities, 18 office properties, and 41
retail properties.

CRLP manages its business with three separate and distinct operating divisions:
Multifamily, Office, and Retail. Each division has an Executive Vice President
that oversees growth and operations and has a separate management team that is
responsible for acquiring, developing, and leasing properties within each
division. This structure allows CRLP to utilize specialized management personnel
for each operating division. Constant communication among the Executive Vice
Presidents and centralized functions of accounting, information technology, due
diligence and administrative services provide CRLP with unique synergy allowing
CRLP to take advantage of a variety of investment opportunities. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing
elsewhere in this report.

Any statement contained in this report which is not a historical fact, or which
might be otherwise considered an opinion or projection concerning CRLP or its
business, whether express or implied, is meant as, and should be considered, a
forward-looking statement as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Forward-looking statements are based upon
assumptions and opinions concerning a variety of known and unknown risks,
including but not limited to changes in market conditions, the supply and demand
for leasable real estate, interest rates, increased competition, changes in
governmental regulations, and national and local economic conditions generally,
as well as other risks more completely described in CRLP's other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these assumptions or opinions
prove incorrect, any forward-looking statements made on the basis of such
assumptions or opinions may also prove materially incorrect in one or more
respects.


Results of Operations--1999 vs. 1998

In 1999, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net
income, which is primarily the result of the acquisition and development of 21
properties and the expansion of 6 properties during 1999 and 1998. As a result
of the acquisitions, developments, and expansions, CRLP's net income before
distributions to preferred unitholders increased by $16.5 million, or 24.1%, for
1999 when compared to 1998. On a per unit basis, net income is $1.88 for 1999, a
14.6% increase, compared to $1.64 for 1998. The increase in net income available
to unitholders, on a per unit basis, is directly attributable to the
acquisition, development, and expansion of properties.


Revenues--Total revenues increased by $25.2 million, or 9.8%, during 1999 when
compared to 1998. Of this increase, $18.1 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired, developed, or expanded during 1999 and 1998.
The remaining increase primarily relates to increases in rental rates at
existing properties and lease buyouts during 1999. The multifamily division
accounts for the largest portion of the overall revenue increase, approximately
$11.3 million, while the office and retail divisions account for $6.6 million
and $7.3 million, respectively. The divisional revenue growth is primarily
attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 15 multifamily
properties, 8 office properties, and 4 retail properties during 1999 and 1998.

Operating Expenses--Total operating expenses increased by $12.9 million, or
9.5%, during 1999 when compared to 1998. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $3.5 million and additional
depreciation of $3.9 million associated with properties that were acquired,
developed, or expanded during 1999 and 1998, net of operating expenses of
properties disposed of during 1998. Depreciation expense on existing properties
increased by $2.2 million during 1999 when compared to 1998. Divisional property
operating expenses increased by $7.2 million, $3.5 million, and $1.3 million for
the multifamily, office, and retail divisions, respectively, during 1999 when
compared to 1998. The increase in divisional property operating expenses is
primarily attributable to the acquisition and development of 15 multifamily
properties, 8 office properties, and 4 retail properties during 1999 and 1998.
The remaining change primarily relates to increases in operating expenses at
existing properties, and overall increases in corporate overhead and personnel
costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses--Interest expense increased by $5.1 million, or 9.9%,
during 1999 when compared to 1998. The increase in interest expense is primarily
attributable to the issuance of $82.5 million in Medium Term Notes, and the
increased usage of CRLP's line of credit in conjunction with the financing of
acquisitions, developments, expansions, and investment activities.




Results of Operations--1998 vs. 1997

In 1998, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net
income, which primarily resulted from the acquisition and development of 53
properties during 1998 and 1997. As a result of the acquisitions and
developments, CRLP's net income before distributions to preferred unitholders
increased by $22.0 million, or 47.7%, for 1998 when compared to 1997. On a per
unit basis, net income was $1.64 for 1998, a 5.2% increase, compared to $1.55
for 1997. The increase in net income available to unitholders, on a per unit
basis, is primarily attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion
of properties.

Revenues--Total revenues increased by $73.2 million, or 39.8%, during 1998 when
compared to 1997. Of this increase, $61.7 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired or developed during 1998 and 1997, net of
revenues of properties disposed of in 1997. The retail division accounted for
the majority of the overall revenue increase, approximately $46.4 million, while
the multifamily and office division accounted for $9.0 million and $18.2
million, respectively. The divisional revenue growth was primarily attributable
to the acquisition and development of 21 retail properties, 22 multifamily
properties, and 10 office properties during 1998 and 1997. The remaining
increase relates to increases in rental rates at existing properties and lease
buyouts during 1998.

Operating Expenses--Total operating expenses increased by $39.8 million, or
41.1%, during 1998 when compared to 1997. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $20.3 million and additional
depreciation of $13.4 million associated with properties that were acquired or
developed during 1998 and 1997, net of operating expenses of properties disposed
of during 1997. Depreciation expense on existing properties increased by $1.5
million during 1998 when compared to 1997. Divisional property operating
expenses increased by $2.8 million, $5.5 million, and $14.8 million for
multifamily, office, and retail divisions, respectively, during 1998 when
compared to 1997. The increase in divisional property operating expenses was
primarily attributable to the acquisition and development of 22 multifamily
properties, 10 office properties, and 21 retail properties during 1998 and 1997.
The remaining increase primarily relates to increases in operating expenses at
existing properties, and overall increases in corporate overhead and personnel
costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses--Interest expense increased by $11.6 million, or
28.6%, during 1998 when compared to 1997. The increase in interest expense is
primarily attributable to the assumption of $5.7 million of debt, the issuance
of $175 million in Medium Term Notes, and the net increased usage of CRLP's line
of credit in conjunction with the financing of acquisitions and developments.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


During 1999, CRLP invested $225.8 million in the acquisition, development, and
expansion of properties. This acquisition and development activity increased
CRLP's multifamily, office, and retail property holdings. CRLP financed the
growth through proceeds from public and private offerings of equity and debt
totaling $182.5 million during 1999, advances on its bank line of credit, the
issuance of limited partnership units, the proceeds from joint ventures,
disposition of assets, and cash from operations.

During 1999, the Board of Trustees of Colonial Properties Trust, our general
partner, authorized a common unit repurchase program under which CRLP may
repurchase up to $150 million of its currently outstanding common units from
time to time at the discretion of management in open market and negotiated
transactions. During 1999, CRLP repurchased 4,612,815 shares at an all in cost
of $122.1 million.






Acquisition and Development Activities

Multifamily Properties--During 1999, CRLP completed development of 1,404
apartment units in 10 multifamily communities and acquired land on which it
intends to develop additional multifamily communities during 1999. The aggregate
investment in the multifamily developments during 1999 was $105.1 million. As of
December 31, 1999, CRLP has 1,290 apartment units in seven multifamily
communities under development or expansion. Management anticipates that the
seven multifamily projects will be completed during 2000 and 2001. Management
estimates that it will invest an additional $15.5 million to complete these
multifamily communities.

Office Properties--During 1999, CRLP increased its office portfolio by
approximately 443,000 square feet with the acquisition of one office property at
a cost of $16.5 million, and the development of two office properties. In
addition, CRLP began development on one office property in Atlanta, Georgia. The
aggregate investment in the office developments during 1999 was $30.8 million.
Management estimates that it will invest an additional $14.0 million to complete
these properties.

Retail Properties--During 1999, CRLP added approximately 468,000 square feet of
retail shopping space through the acquisition of an enclosed mall at a net cost
of $29.3 million. In addition, CRLP continued the development of a community
shopping center, began construction of two new community shopping centers, and
began the redevelopment of an enclosed mall and community shopping center. The
aggregate investment in the retail developments during 1999 was $32.0 million.
Management anticipates that it will invest an additional $68.6 million to
complete the retail developments.

Joint Ventures

During the third quarter of 1999, CRLP entered into a joint venture with CMS. In
connection with this joint venture, CRLP sold the following six properties:
Colonial Village at Stockbridge, Colonial Grand at Barrington Club, Colonial
Grand at Ponte Vedra, Colonial Village at River Hills, Colonial Grand at
Mountain Brook, and Colonial Village at Cahaba Heights. CMS acquired an 85%
interest in the joint venture from Colonial for $80.6 million. CRLP acquired a
15% interest in the joint venture and will serve as manager of the properties.
Subsequent to formation, the joint venture leveraged the properties for a total
of $73.6 million of nonrecourse notes, and the proceeds were distributed
proportionately to the joint venture partners. At December 31, 1999, CRLP had an
ending net investment in the joint venture of $2.8 million. The joint venture is
accounted for using the equity method.


Financing Activities

CRLP funded a large portion of its acquisitions, developments, and expansions
through the issuance of preferred units and debt securities. During 1999, CRLP
completed the following equity and debt transactions:

- ----------------- --------------- -------------------------- ---------------
August Medium-term August, 2002 7.93% $ 57,500
August Medium-term August, 2004 8.19% 25,000

CRLP's current borrowing capacity under its unsecured line of credit is $250
million. The credit facility, which is used by CRLP primarily to finance
additional property investments, bears interest at a rate ranging between 80 and
135 basis points above LIBOR and is renewable in July 2000. The line of credit
agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP to convert up
to $125 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed term not
to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 1999, the balance outstanding on CRLP's
line of credit was $228.3 million.

At December 31, 1999, CRLP's total outstanding debt balance was $1.04 billion.
The outstanding balance includes fixed rate debt of $758.0 million, or 72.9%,
and floating-rate debt of $281.9 million, or 27.1%. CRLP has obtained interest
rate protection for $50.0 million of the floating-rate debt through the purchase
of an interest rate cap agreement. The cap agreement limits the debt to an
interest rate of 8.00% through May 2, 2000. CRLP's total market capitalization
as of December 31, 1999 was $2.0 billion and its ratio of debt to total market
capitalization was 51.3%. Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain restrictive
covenants, which, among other things, require maintenance of various financial
ratios. At December 31, 1999, CRLP was in compliance with these covenants.

CRLP has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading purposes. Interest rate cap agreements and interest
rate swaps are used to reduce the potential impact of increases in interest
rates on variable-rate debt. Treasury lock agreements are used by CRLP to lock
in interest rates in connection with public debt offerings. On January 4, 1999,
Colonial entered into an interest rate swap for $50 million of its line of
credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135 basis points and on January 15, 1999, Colonial
entered into an interest rate swap for $52 million of tax exempt bonds at a rate
of 3.23%. Additionally, on May 4, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap
agreement for $25 million of its line of credit at a rate of 5.07%. All of these
interest rate swap agreements have one-year terms and any payments made or
received under the agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense
as incurred. On February 10, 2000, CRLP entered into two reverse interest rate
swap agreements for a total of $50 million of its medium-term notes. Under the
terms of the agreements, CRLP will receive a fixed interest rate of 7.37% and
will be required to pay a floating rate equal to one month LIBOR that is
compounded and paid semi-annually. Both of these agreements have five-year
terms, and any payments made or received under the agreements are recognized as
adjustments to interest expense. CRLP is exposed to credit losses in the event
of nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate cap and
nonderivative financial assets but has no off-balance-sheet credit risk of
accounting loss. CRLP anticipates, however, that counterparties will be able to
fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. CRLP does not obtain
collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit
risk but monitors the credit standing of counterparties.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 or "Y2K" problem refers to the inability of many existing computer
programs having time-sensitive software to recognize a date using "00" as the
year 2000. Instead, the computer programs interpret such data as the year 1900.
This failure to accurately recognize the year 2000 and other key dates could
have resulted in a variety of problems ranging from data miscalculations to the
failure of entire systems.

In order to address the Y2K problem, CRLP reviewed all of their property
management and informational systems, and replaced, upgraded, or modified the
systems as needed to minimize the risks associated with the Y2K problem. The
Year 2000 issue did not have a material impact on CRLP's business, results of
operations, or financial condition.

OUTLOOK

Management intends to maintain CRLP's strength through continued
diversification, while pursuing acquisitions and developments that meet CRLP's
criteria for property quality, market strength, and investment return.
Management will continue to use its line of credit to provide short-term
financing for acquisition, development, and expansion activities and plans to
continue to replace significant borrowings under the bank line of credit with
funds generated from the sale of additional equity securities, permanent
financing, as market conditions permit, and the disposition of assets.
Management believes that these potential sources of funds, along with the
possibility of issuing limited partnership units of CRLP in exchange for
properties, will provide CRLP with the means to finance additional acquisitions,
developments, and expansions.

In addition to the issuance of equity and debt, management is investigating
alternate financing methods and sources to raise future capital. Private
placements, joint ventures, and non-traditional equity and debt offerings are
some of the alternatives CRLP is contemplating. CRLP continues to work
diligently to improve its credit rating, in order to reduce its cost of raising
future capital.

Management anticipates that its net cash provided by operations and its existing
cash balances will provide the necessary funds on a short- and long- term basis
to cover its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness,
recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to shareholders in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts.







RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, addresses the accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, CRLP will be required
to account for derivative financial instruments, if any, at their fair market
value, and make certain required disclosures. CRLP is required to adopt SFAS 133
for periods beginning January 1, 2001.

INFLATION

Leases at the multifamily properties generally provide for an initial term of
six months to one year and allow for rent adjustments at the time of renewal.
Leases at the office properties typically provide for rent adjustments and the
pass-through of certain operating expenses during the term of the lease.
Substantially all of the leases at the retail properties provide for the
pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes,
common area maintenance expenses, and insurance. All of these provisions permit
CRLP to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to rising
prices and, therefore, serve to minimize CRLP's exposure to the adverse effects
of inflation.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization - Colonial Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership" or "CRLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on August 6,
1993, to succeed as owner of substantially all of the predecessor interest of
Colonial Properties, Inc. (CPI), Equity Partners Joint Venture, and Colonial
Properties Management Association, and certain real estate interest of Thomas H.
Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, James K. Lowder, Catherine K. Lowder, and the Bellwood
Trust (collectively referred to as the Colonial Group for purposes of these
financial statements). CRLP is the operating partnership of Colonial Properties
Trust, an Alabama real estate investment trust (the "Company") whose shares are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). CRLP is engaged in the
ownership, development, management, and leasing of multifamily housing
communities, retail malls and centers, and office buildings. Certain parcels of
land are also included.

Federal Income Tax Status -No provision for income taxes is provided
since all taxable income or loss or tax credits are passed through to the
partners. The Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax
purposes, qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal
income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income tax to
the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. REITs are
subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the
Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be
subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the Operating Partnership and Colonial Properties Services Limited
Partnership (in which CRLP holds 99% general and limited partner interests).

Investments in Partially Owned Entities - Partnerships and corporations
in which CRLP owns a 50% or less interest and does not control are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements as investments accounted for under the
equity method. Under this method the investment is carried at cost plus or minus
equity in undistributed earnings or losses since the date of acquisition.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Land, Buildings, and Equipment - Land, buildings, and equipment is
stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated depreciation, or net realizable
value. Where an impairment of a property's value is determined to be other than
temporary, an allowance for the estimated potential loss is established to
record the property at its net realizable value. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from seven to 40 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. Replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the
estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. When items of land, buildings,
or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of
operations.

Undeveloped Land and Construction in Progress - Undeveloped land and
construction in progress is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
CRLP capitalizes all costs associated with land development and construction.

Capitalization of Interest - CRLP capitalizes interest during periods
in which property is undergoing development activities necessary to prepare the
asset for its intended use.

Cash and Equivalents - CRLP includes highly liquid marketable
securities and debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less in cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash - Cash which is legally restricted as to use consists
primarily of tenant deposits.

Deferred Debt and Lease Costs - Amortization of debt costs is recorded
using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest
method, over the terms of the related debt. Leasing commissions and fees are
amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.

Derivatives - CRLP has only limited involvement with derivative
financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. Interest rate
cap agreements and interest rate swaps are used to reduce the potential impact
of increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt. Premiums paid for
purchased interest rate cap agreements are amortized to expense over the terms
of the caps. Unamortized premiums are included in other assets in the balance
sheets. Amounts receivable under cap agreements are accrued as a reduction of
interest expense. Payments under interest rate swap agreements are recognized as
adjustments to interest expense as incurred. Treasury lock agreements are used
by CRLP to set interest rates in anticipation of public debt offerings. Any
gains or losses related to treasury locks are included in deferred debt and
lease cost on the balance sheet and amortized over the life of the related debt
to the extent that such treasury locks are utilized. All unutilized treasury
locks are expensed when their future utility expires. All treasury locks were
utilized during 1999 and 1998.

Revenue Recognition - Rental income attributable to leases is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Anticipated
losses, if any, are recognized when such amounts become known, or estimated.

Net Income Per Unit - Basic net income per unit is calculated by
dividing the net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average
numbers of common units outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per
unit is calculated by dividing the net income available to common unitholders by
the weighted average numbers of common units outstanding during the periods,
adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging
activity. Under SFAS 133, CRLP will be required to account for derivative
financial instruments, if any, at their fair market value, and make certain
required disclosures. CRLP is required to adopt SFAS 133 for periods beginning
January 1, 2001.

Segment Reporting - Reportable segments are identified based upon
management's approach for making operating decisions and assessing performance
of CRLP.

Software Development - CRLP capitalizes certain internally developed
software costs. Costs capitalized in connection with internal software
development are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the software.

Common Unit Repurchases - During 1999, CRLP's Board of Trustees
authorized a common unit repurchase program under which CRLP may repurchase up
to $150 million of its currently outstanding common units from time to time ad
the discretion of management in open market and negotiated transactions. During
1999, CRLP repurchased 4,612,815 units at an all in cost of $122.1 million.
These units are included as a reduction of partners' capital.

Reclassifications - Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made
to the 1998 and 1997 financial statements in order to conform them to the 1999
financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on
partners' capital or net income.






3. Property Acquisitions and Dispositions
CRLP acquired two operating properties during 1999, 12 properties
during 1998, and 25 properties during 1997 at aggregate costs of $45.8 million,
$348.6 million, and $430.6 million, respectively. CRLP funded these acquisitions
with cash proceeds from its public offerings of equity (see Note 10) and debt
(see Note 8), advances on bank lines of credit, the issuance of limited
partnership units in CRLP, the proceeds received from the formation of joint
ventures (see Note 6), the proceeds received from the issuance of preferred
units in CRLP (see Note 9), and cash from operations.

representing 2,319 units, which included Colonial Grand at Kirkman, Colonial
Village at Stockbridge, Colonial Grand at Barrington Club, Colonial Grand at
Ponte Vedra, Colonial Village at River Hills, Colonial Grand at Mountain Brook,
and Colonial Village at Cahaba Heights. The properties were sold for a total
purchase price of $119.8 million, of which $15.0 million was used to repay two
secured loans, and the remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the
borrowings under CRLP's unsecured line of credit, fund additional acquisitions,
and to support CRLP's future investment activities.

CRLP sold six of these properties to a joint venture formed by CRLP and
an unrelated party. CRLP will maintain a 15% interest in the joint venture and
serve as manager of the properties. CRLP accounts for its 15% interest in this
joint venture as an equity investment (see Note 6).

During 1998, CRLP sold Orlando Fashion Square to a joint venture
equally owned by CRLP and an unrelated party. Proceeds received from this
contribution were used to fund additional acquisitions and developments. CRLP
accounts for its 50% interest in this joint venture as an equity investment (see
Note 6).

7. Segment Information

CRLP is organized into, and manages its business based on the
performance of three separate and distinct operating divisions: Multifamily,
Office, and Retail. Each division has a separate management team that is
responsible for acquiring, developing, managing, and leasing properties within
each division. The applicable accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to
them based on net operating income (NOI). NOI consists of revenues in excess of
general operating expenses, salaries and wages, repairs and maintenance, taxes,
licenses, and insurance. Segment information for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997 is as follows:

As of December 31, 1999, CRLP has an unsecured bank line of credit
providing for total borrowings of up to $250 million. This line of credit
agreement bears interest at LIBOR plus 80 to 135 basis points, is renewable in
July 2000, and provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal.
The line of credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow
CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for
a fixed term not to exceed 90 days. The credit facility is primarily used by
CRLP to finance property acquisitions and development and has an outstanding
balance at December 31, 1999, of $228.3 million. The interest rate of this
short-term borrowing facility, including the competitive bid balance, is 7.43%
and 6.42% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

During 1999 and 1998, CRLP completed three public offerings of
unsecured medium term and senior debt securities totaling $257.5 million. The
proceeds of the offerings were used to fund acquisitions, development
expenditures, repay balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit facility,
repay certain notes and mortgages payable, and for general corporate purposes.
Details relating to these debt offerings are as follows:


Gross
Type of Proceeds
Date Note Maturity Rate (in thousands)
- ----------------- --------------- -------------------------- ----------------

July, 1998 Senior July, 2007 7.00% $175,000
August, 1999 Medium-term August, 2002 7.93% 57,500
August, 1999 Medium-term August, 2004 8.19% 25,000


CRLP has entered into an interest rate cap agreement which limits debt
of $50 million to an interest rate of 8.00% through May 2, 2000. CRLP paid
$227,500 for the interest rate cap, which is being amortized over the life of
the agreement. On January 4, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for
$50 million of its line of credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135 basis points, and on
January 15, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for $52 million of tax
exempt bonds at a rate of 3.23%. Additionally, on May 4, 1999, CRLP entered into
an interest rate swap agreement for $25 million of its line of credit at a rate
of 5.07%. All of these interest rate swap agreements have one-year terms and any
payments made or received under the agreements are recognized as adjustments to
interest expense as incurred. On February 10, 2000, CRLP entered into two
reverse interest rate swap agreements for a total of $50 million of its
medium-term notes. Under the terms of the agreements, CRLP will receive a fixed
interest rate of 7.37% and will be required to pay a floating rate equal to one
month LIBOR that is compounded and paid semi-annually. Both of these agreements
have five-year terms, and any payments made or received under the agreements are
recognized as adjustments to interest expense. Treasury lock agreements are used
by CRLP to set interest rates in anticipation of public debt offerings. CRLP is
exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to
its interest rate cap and nonderivative financial assets but has no
off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. CRLP anticipates, however,
that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the
contracts. CRLP does not obtain collateral or other security to support
financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit standing of
counterparties.
At December 31, 1999, CRLP had $839.8 million in unsecured indebtedness
including balances outstanding on its bank line of credit and certain other
notes payable. The remainder of CRLP's notes and mortgages payable are
collateralized by the assignment of rents and leases of certain properties and
assets with an aggregate net book value of $266.2 million at December 31, 1999.
The aggregate maturities of notes and mortgages payable, including
CRLP's line of credit at December 31, 1999, are as follows:

2000 $ 250,662
2001 78,220

==================

Based on borrowing rates available to CRLP for notes and mortgages
payable with similar terms, the estimated fair value of CRLP's notes and
mortgages payable at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $1.05 billion
and $912.6 million, respectively.
Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain restrictive covenants which,
among other things, require maintenance of various financial ratios. At December
31, 1999, CRLP was in compliance with those covenants.
Certain partners of CRLP have guaranteed indebtedness of CRLP totaling
$26.0 million at December 31, 1999. These individuals have not been indemnified
by CRLP.

Shares of CRLP after ten years at the option of the holders of the Preferred
Units. The proceeds of the issuance, net of offering costs of $2.6 million were
used to repay balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit agreement and to
fund development, acquisition, and expansion expenditures.
In November 1997, CRLP completed its first public offering of
preferred stock totaling 5,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest of
Colonial Properties Trust (Preferred Shares). The Series A Preferred Shares pay
a quarterly dividend at 8.75% per annum and may be called by CRLP on or after
November 6, 2002. The Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, sinking fund or
mandatory redemption and are not convertible into any other securities of CRLP.
The preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.

10. Employee Benefits
Employees of CRLP and Colonial Properties Services, Inc. ("CPSI")
participate in a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan designed to cover
substantially all employees. Pension expense includes service and interest costs
adjusted by actual earnings on plan assets and amortization of prior service
cost and the transition amount. The benefits provided by this plan are based on
years of service and the employee's final average compensation. CRLP's policy is
to fund the minimum required contribution under ERISA and the Internal Revenue
Code.
The table below presents a summary of pension plan status as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, as it relates to the employees of CRLP and CPSI, and
the actuarial assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of
accumulated benefit obligations at January 1, 1999, are as follows:


(amounts in thousands) 1999 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------- --------- ---------

Actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation
including vested benefits of $1,030 and $1,193 $ 1,312 $ 1,368
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively
Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations
at year end $ 2,538 $ 2,593
Fair value of assets at year end $ 1,030 $ 981
Accrued pension cost $ 1,481 $ 868
Net pension cost for the year $ 613 $ 393




1999 1998
--------- ---------

Weighted-average interest rate 8.00% 6.75%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase in future compensation levels 4.25% 4.00%



CRLP and CPSI participate in a salary reduction profit sharing plan
covering substantially all employees. This plan provides, with certain
restrictions, that employees may contribute a portion of their earnings with
CRLP and CPSI matching one-half of such contributions, solely at CRLP and CPSI's
discretion. Contributions by CRLP and CPSI were approximately $275,000,
$178,000, and $159,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

11. Leasing Operations
CRLP is in the business of leasing and managing multifamily, office,
and retail property. For properties owned by CRLP, minimum rentals due in future
periods under noncancelable operating leases extending beyond one year at
December 31, 1999, are as follows:

(in thousands)
-----------------
2000 $ 119,773
2001 106,511
2002 93,974
2003 78,644
2004 65,065
Thereafter 220,648
-----------------
$ 684,615
=================

The noncancelable leases are with tenants engaged in retail and office
operations in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, and Virginia. Performance in accordance with the lease terms is in
part dependent upon the economic conditions of the respective areas. No
additional credit risk exposure relating to the leasing arrangements exists
beyond the accounts receivable amounts shown in the December 31, 1999 balance
sheet. Leases with tenants in multifamily properties are generally for one year
or less and are thus excluded from the above table. Substantially all of CRLP's
land, buildings, and equipment represent property leased under the above and
other short-term leasing arrangements.
Rental income for 1999, 1998, and 1997 includes percentage rent of $4.7
million,$4.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. This rental income was
earned when certain retail tenants attained sales volumes specified in their
respective lease agreements.

12. Related Party Transactions
CRLP has generally used affiliated construction companies to manage and
oversee its development and expansion projects. CRLP paid $62.8 million, $40.0

office building in Birmingham for $7.4 million. This purchase increased CRLP's
ownership from 50% to 100%.

to purchase land from a related party had expired. In December 1997, CPSI

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a Retirement Plan (the "Plan") for all of the
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. An employee becomes eligible to
participate in the Plan on January 1 or July 1 following the first anniversary
of the person's employment by the Company or one of its consolidated or
unconsolidated subsidiaries or age 21 if later. Benefits are based upon the
number of years of service (maximum 25 years) and the average of the
participant's earnings during the five highest years of compensation during the
final 10 years of employment. Each participant accrues a benefit at a specified
percentage of compensation up to the Social Security covered compensation level,
and at a higher percentage of compensation above the Social Security covered
compensation level. Employment by Colonial, the Company's predecessor, or
certain of its affiliated entities is treated as covered service for purposes of
the Plan. A participant receives credit for a year of service for every year in
which 1,000 hours are completed in the employment of the Company or its
subsidiaries.

The following table reflects estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement under the Plan as a single life annuity commencing at age 65. These
benefits ignore the lower benefit rate applicable to earnings below the Social
Security covered compensation level.

$170,000 or over $12,920 $25,840 $38,760 $51,680 $64,600


The benefits shown are limited by the current statutory limitations
which restrict the amount of benefits which can be paid from a qualified
retirement plan. The statutory limit on compensation which may be recognized in
calculating benefits is $170,000 in 2000. This limit is scheduled to increase
periodically with the cost of living.

Covered compensation under the Plan includes the employees' base salary
and other earnings received from the Company. Thomas H. Lowder has 25 years of
covered service under the Plan, Howard B. Nelson, Jr. has 15 years of service,
C. Reynolds Thompson, III has three years of service, John N. Hughey has 17
years of service, and Charles A. McGehee has 23 years of service.

Employment Agreement

Thomas H. Lowder, the chief executive officer of the Company, entered
into an employment agreement with the Company in September 1993. This agreement
provides for an initial term of three years, with automatic renewals for
successive one year terms if neither party delivers notice of non-renewal at
least six months prior to the next scheduled expiration date. The agreement
provides for annual compensation of at least $275,000 and incentive compensation
on substantially the same terms as set forth in the description of the Annual
Incentive Plan. See "Report on Executive Compensation - Annual Incentive Plan."
The agreement includes provisions restricting Mr. Lowder from competing with the
Company during employment and, except in certain circumstances, for two years
after termination of employment. In addition, in the event of disability or
termination by the Company without cause or by the employee with cause, the
agreement provides that the Company must pay Mr. Lowder the greater of (i) his
base compensation and benefits for the remainder of the employment term or (ii)
six months' base compensation and benefits.






EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND

INSIDER PARTICIPATION


None of the five members of our general partner's Executive
Compensation Committee is an employee of the Company. As described below, M.
Miller Gorrie and James K. Lowder, who are members of the Committee, own
interests in certain entities that, during 1999, were parties to certain
transactions involving the Company.

On May 1, 1999, the Company acquired the remaining 20.2% interest in
Colonial Village at Haverhill, a multifamily property located in San Antonio,
Texas from certain entities controlled by Mr. Gorrie. The Company paid the
purchase price of approximately $4.3 million with 157,140 units of limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

On October 31, 1999, the Company repaid an outstanding promissory note
of $1.8 million to Polar BEK/Colonial Partnership II, a general partnership of
which one of the two general partners is Equity Partners Joint Venture, a
general partnership of which Messrs. J. Lowder, T. Lowder and their brother,
Robert E. Lowder, are the sole general partners ("EPJV").

The Company engaged Lowder Construction Company, Inc., of which Mr. J.
Lowder serves as the chairman of the board and which is indirectly owned by
Messrs. J. Lowder and T. Lowder, to serve as construction manager for twelve
multifamily development and expansion projects during 1999. The Company paid a
total of $62.8 million ($58.5 million of which was then paid to unaffiliated
subcontractors) for the construction of these development and expansion projects
during 1999. The Company had outstanding construction invoices and retainage
payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling $5.7 million at December
31, 1999.

Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors, Inc. ("B&G"), a corporation of
which Mr. Gorrie is a shareholder and chairman of the board, was engaged to
serve as construction manager for five office and retail development and
redevelopment projects during 1999. The Company paid B&G a total of $21.5
million ($19.4 million of which was then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors)
during 1999. The Company had outstanding construction invoices and retainage
payable to this company totaling $0.7 million at December 31, 1999.

Colonial Commercial Investments, Inc. ("CCI"), a corporation owned by
Messrs. J. Lowder and T. Lowder, has guaranteed indebtedness of a partnership
accounted for by the Company under the equity method in the aggregate amount of
$1.1 million as of December 31, 1999. The Company has indemnified CCI against
any liability it may incur under this guarantee.

The Management Corporation provided management and leasing services
during 1999 to certain entities in which Messrs. J. Lowder, T. Lowder and R.
Lowder have an interest. The aggregate amount of fees paid to the Management
Corporation by such entities during 1999 was approximately $262,000. The Company
owns a 99% economic interest in the Management Corporation but, due to
limitations imposed by the IRS's REIT rules, owns only 1% of the voting stock.
The remainder of the voting stock is held by CCI.

Colonial Insurance Company, a corporation indirectly owned by the
Lowder family, provided insurance brokerage services for the Company during
1999. The aggregate amount paid by the Company to Colonial Insurance Company for
these services for the year ended December 31, 1999, was approximately $167,000.

The Company leased space to certain entities in which the Lowder family
has an interest and received rent from these entities totaling approximately
$1.4 million during 1999.
