Camden Property Trust Reports 10.1% Increase in Funds From Operations Per Share

    HOUSTON, July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Camden Property Trust (NYSE: CPT),
announced that its funds from operations (FFO) for the second quarter of 2000
totaled $0.87 per diluted share or $38.7 million as compared to $0.79 per
diluted share or $37.5 million reported for the same period in 1999, an
increase of 10.1% per diluted share.  On a year-to-date basis, Camden's
six-month FFO totaled $1.72 per diluted share or $76.9 million compared to
$1.55 per share or $75.3 million in 1999, an increase of 11.0%.  Revenues for
the second quarter of 2000 totaled $101.3 million compared to $91.4 million in
the second quarter of 1999.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, revenues
totaled $200.0 million compared to $180.2 million for the comparable period of
1999.
    Physical occupancy levels averaged 93.7% during the quarter as compared to
93.4% during the second quarter of 1999.  Average rental revenues per
apartment home per month during the second quarter rose to $645, an increase
of 4.4% over the same period in 1999.  For the 42,316 apartment homes included
in the second quarter "same-property" results, revenues increased 3.4% while
operating expenses increased 2.2%, resulting in a 4.2% increase in same-
property net operating income (NOI).  On a year-to-date basis, same property
NOI growth was 3.6%, with revenue growth of 2.9% and expense growth of 1.7%.
"We are encouraged by the increases seen in both occupancy and rental rates
during the second quarter," said Keith Oden, President and Chief Operating
Officer.  "Same-property performance improved in most of our markets this
quarter, supporting our projections for solid NOI growth in 2000."
    During the quarter, the Company completed lease-up at The Park at Caley in
Denver, and leasing continued at the following five properties: The Park at
Lee Vista in Orlando, The Park at Oxmoor in Louisville, The Park at Arizona
Center in Phoenix, The Park at Greenway in Houston and The Park at Holly
Springs in Houston.  Construction continued at The Park at Farmers Market in
Dallas and The Park at Crown Valley in Southern California, and new
construction began on a 151-unit expansion at the Miramar student housing
facility in Corpus Christi, Texas.

development, acquisition, management and disposition of multifamily apartment
