per share of $0.41 on net income of $28.2 million, compared to diluted
earnings per share of $0.42 on net income of $26.8 million for the fourth

share, including the impairment charges discussed below, were $2.29 on net
income of $148.7 million compared to $1.43 on net income of $93.6 million a
year ago.  Net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005
includes gains from dispositions of properties of $26.9 million and $130.7
million, respectively.  Net income for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2004 includes gains from dispositions of properties of $27.7
million and $47.5 million, respectively.

    For the fourth quarter of 2005, diluted funds from operations available to
common shareholders (Diluted FFO), including the impairment charges discussed
below, were $39.4 million or $0.62 per share compared to $33.8 million or
$0.62 per share for the fourth quarter of 2004.  Diluted FFO for the year
ended December 31, 2005 was $162.9 million or $2.63 per share as compared to
$184.9 million or $3.09 per share for the same period in 2004.  The gains
associated with the disposition of real estate had no impact on reported
Diluted FFO or Diluted FFO per share.
    The three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005 include $5.5 million
and $10.4 million, respectively, of impairment losses as compared to $2.5
million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004.

    Portfolio Report
    CarrAmerica President and COO, Philip L. Hawkins, commented, "The markets
continue to recover in line with our expectations with good leasing activity,
decreasing vacancies and improving rental economics."  Mr. Hawkins continued,
"In 2006, we expect to concentrate on continued increased occupancy within our
portfolio and a renewed focus on the creation of new Class A product through
our development team."
    Occupancy for consolidated properties was 89.4% at December 31, 2005 as
compared to 88.2% at December 31, 2004.  Same store property operating income
for the fourth quarter of 2005 was flat on a GAAP basis over the same period
in 2004 due primarily to higher average occupancies offset by the impact of
rental rates in new leases being substantially lower than rental rates in
expiring leases in many of CarrAmerica's markets.  The average occupancy rate
for same store properties was 89.7% in the fourth quarter of 2005, up from
89.0% during the fourth quarter of 2004.  The Company has executed leases for
approximately 500,000 square feet of office space for which revenue
recognition has not yet begun and which are not included in its occupancy
statistics as of December 31, 2005.
    For the fourth quarter of 2005, rental rates decreased 16.7% on average on
the leases executed during the quarter.  The Company leased 500,000 square
feet of office space in the fourth quarter of 2005 versus 1.1 million square
feet for the same period in 2004.  For the year ended December 31, 2005,
CarrAmerica leased a total of 2.9 million square feet of office space as
compared to 3 million square feet for the same period in 2004.

    Acquisitions
    During the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica acquired Tyson's International
Plaza, comprised of two, 10-story Class A office buildings totaling 434,606
square feet in Tysons Corner, Virginia, for $123.0 million.  The project is
73% committed, and is expected to provide a year one GAAP return of
approximately 5.4% and a stabilized GAAP return of approximately 7%.
    Also during the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica acquired 18911 and 19015 North
Creek Plaza in Bothell, Washington for $45.4 million.  The project is
comprised of two, Class A office buildings totaling 193,454 square feet.  The
project is 93% committed, and is expected to provide a year one GAAP return of
approximately 6% and a stabilized GAAP return of approximately 7.2%.
    For the full year 2005, CarrAmerica acquired property totaling
approximately $429.0 million, including its pro rata share of assets acquired
in joint ventures.
    Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica closed on the
acquisition of the Casey Family Building, a 77,759-square-foot office
building, and adjacent land parcels expected to support the additional
development of approximately 600,000 square feet of office and retail space in
Seattle, Washington for $52.0 million.  The Casey Family building, which was
acquired for $22.0 million, is 100% leased, and is expected to provide a year
one GAAP and stabilized GAAP return of approximately 7.6%.  The development of
the adjacent land parcels is expected to occur over a three to five year
period, and to provide a stabilized GAAP return approximately 100-200 basis
points higher than that of the Casey Family Building.
    Also subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica closed on
the acquisition of 3553 North First Street in San Jose, California, an
85,585-square-foot office building, for $10.3 million.  The property is
expected to provide a year one GAAP return of approximately 2.2%, and a
stabilized GAAP return of approximately 9.3%.  These expected returns reflect
a four-month leaseback to NetIQ and CarrAmerica's estimates as to the leasing
of the building thereafter.

    Dispositions
    During the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica completed the following property
sales:

    * Six buildings totaling 166,928 square feet in San Jose, California for
      $19.2 million with a gain of $3.0 million.
    * One building totaling 92,000 square feet in Phoenix, Arizona for $12.0
      million with no gain or loss.  CarrAmerica had previously recognized an
      impairment loss of $0.2 million associated with the sale of this
      building.
    * One building totaling 145,444 square feet in Burbank, California for
      $42.8 million with a gain of $15.7 million.  The building was 36% leased
      at the time of the sale.
    * Four buildings totaling 533,371 square feet in Dallas, Texas for $43.0
      million with a $1.0 million gain.  CarrAmerica had previously recognized
      impairment losses of approximately $5.8 million associated with the sale
      of these buildings.

    Also during the fourth quarter, a joint venture in which CarrAmerica is a
20% partner sold 300 W. 6th Street, a 428,000-square-foot building in Austin,
Texas for $131.7 million.  Net proceeds to CarrAmerica after repayment of
property level debt were approximately $16.6 million, and CarrAmerica realized
a gain of approximately $7.7 million net of $4.0 million of tax in connection
with the sale.
    For the full year 2005, CarrAmerica sold properties or interests in
properties totaling approximately $477.0 million, and recognized gains net of
impairment charges of $120.3 million.  Under the NAREIT definition of FFO,
gains on property sales are excluded from FFO but impairment charges reduce
Diluted FFO.
    Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica sold a
258,058-square-foot building in Reston, Virginia for $51.9 million with a
gain of approximately $17.7 million.  The building was approximately 17%
leased at the time of the sale.
    In the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica announced its plans to market its
wholly-owned Denver and Chicago properties (with the exception of One Parkway
North in Chicago) for sale and expects to reinvest those proceeds into office
properties in CarrAmerica's other markets.  The Company expects to begin
marketing those assets in the first quarter of 2006.  There can be no
assurance that these dispositions will be consummated on favorable terms, if
at all.

    Development
    CarrAmerica's current development pipeline includes one project under
construction in the Legacy submarket of Dallas.  The project, Three Legacy
Town Center, is approximately 154,000 square feet with a projected total
project cost of $25.0 million and a year one stabilized GAAP return of 9.3%.
The project is a joint venture of CarrAmerica and institutional investors
advised by JPMorgan Asset Management.  Completion is scheduled for June 2006.
    In addition, CarrAmerica's development pipeline for 2006 is expected to
include commitments for $300 to $500 million in new, wholly owned and joint
venture development projects, of which CarrAmerica's share is expected to be
$200 to $300 million.  This includes the first phase of the recently announced
Casey Project in the South Lake Union submarket of Seattle, which, when fully
built out, will include approximately 600,000 square feet of office and retail
space.  We also anticipate that the 2006 pipeline will include an assemblage
in Washington, D.C. at 901 K Street, NW, to include the development of a
200,000-square-foot, Class A office building and restoration of the historic
Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church, with total project costs projected to be
approximately $104.0 million.  Both of these projects are scheduled for
construction commencement in late 2006 or early 2007.  We also expect to begin
the development of additional projects (including projects in joint ventures)
in San Diego, Austin, Salt Lake City, and Seattle.

    Capital Markets
    In the fourth quarter, CarrAmerica issued an aggregate of $250.0 million
principal amount of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 5.50% and
mature on December 15, 2010.  In addition, the company repaid $19.0 million in
mortgage indebtedness and $15.4 million of notes payable.

    CarrAmerica's Annual Meeting to be Held on April 27, 2006
    CarrAmerica also announced that its Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be
held on Thursday, April 27, 2006 at the Willard Inter-Continental Hotel in
Washington, D.C., commencing at 9:30 a.m. ET.  The record date for
determination of the right to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders is
March 3, 2006.

    CarrAmerica Earnings Estimates
    On Friday, January 27, CarrAmerica management will discuss earnings
guidance for 2006.  Diluted earnings per share of $0.25 - $0.43 and Diluted
FFO per share of $2.52 - $2.70 will be discussed.  First quarter 2006 diluted
earnings per share and Diluted FFO per share of $0.28 - $0.34 and $0.62 -
$0.68, respectively, will also be discussed.  The projections for 2006 are
based in part on the following assumptions:

                                                   2006
    Average Office Portfolio Occupancy      91.0% - 93.0%
    Real Estate Service Revenue             $22.0 - $24.0 million
    General and Administrative Expense      $42.0 - $44.0 million
    Termination Fees                        $1.0 - $3.0 million

    Estimates for 2006 include gains on the sale of property already completed
(approximately $17.7 million) and previously discussed above but exclude any
other potential gains, losses or asset impairments associated with property
dispositions currently in process, contemplated or otherwise, including any
potential gains or losses or asset impairments that may in the future be
recognized as a result of the sale of some or all of CarrAmerica's properties
located in Chicago and Denver.  Any gains or losses on the sales of real
estate will have an impact on net income, which may be material, but will not
have an impact on FFO, since those amounts are not added back in the
calculation of FFO.  Any impairments of real estate will negatively impact
both net income and FFO, which may be material.
    CarrAmerica's 2006 estimate also assumes that straight-line rents on in-
place leases that expire in 2006 exceed market rental rates by 10.0 % - 12.0%.
For 2006, on a weighted basis, building acquisitions are expected to
approximately equal dispositions.

    CarrAmerica Announces Fourth Quarter Dividend
    The Board of Directors of CarrAmerica today declared a fourth quarter
dividend for its common stock of $0.50 per share.  The dividend will be
payable to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 17,
2006.  CarrAmerica's common stock will begin trading ex-dividend on February
15, 2006 and the dividend will be paid on February 28, 2006.  The Company also
declared a dividend on its Series E preferred stock.  The Series E Cumulative
Redeemable preferred stock dividend is $.46875 per share.  The Series E
preferred stock dividends are payable to shareholders of record as of the
close of business on February 17, 2006.  The preferred stock will begin
trading ex-dividend on February 15, 2006 and the dividends will be paid on
February 28, 2006.
    Solely for purposes of satisfying U.S. federal income tax withholding
obligations under section 1.1445-8 of the federal income tax regulations with
respect to payments to certain affected non-U.S. stockholders, the Company
will characterize 100% of each of the fourth quarter dividends described above
paid to certain affected non-U.S. stockholders as a capital gain dividend to
reflect the taxable composition of its aggregate dividend payment to
stockholders in 2005.
    Accordingly, the Company will characterize as a capital gain dividend
$0.50 per share of the dividend for its common stock and $0.46875 per share of
the dividend for its Series E preferred stock.  This characterization is
relevant only for purposes of withholding on payments to certain affected
foreign stockholders and has no effects on U.S. stockholders.

                             Funds From Operations

    Funds from operations ("FFO") and funds available for distribution ("FAD")
are used as measures of operating performance for real estate companies.  We
provide FFO and FAD as a supplement to net income calculated in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP").  Although FFO and FAD are widely used measures of operating
performance for equity REITs, they do not represent net income calculated in
accordance with GAAP. As such, they should not be considered an alternative to
net income as an indication of our operating performance.  In addition, FFO or
FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance
with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and
should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating
activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity,
nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including
our ability to make cash distributions.  The National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (computed in
accordance GAAP), excluding gains (losses) on sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real
estate industry and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

    We believe that FFO and FAD are helpful to investors as a measure of our
performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do
not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as
gains and losses on sales of real estate and real estate related depreciation
and amortization, which can make periodic analyses of operating performance
more difficult to compare.  FAD deducts various capital items and non-cash
revenue from diluted FFO available to common shareholders.  Our management
believes, however, that FFO and FAD, by excluding such items, which can vary
among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost
accounting and useful life estimates, can help compare the operating
performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to
different companies.  Our FFO or FAD may not be comparable to FFO or FAD
reported by other REITs.  These REITs may not define FFO in accordance with
the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition
differently than us.  They may include or exclude items which we include or
exclude from FAD.
