NOTICE OF 2007 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
______________________________________________________________

Dear Shareholder:

      You are cordially invited to attend Equity Residential’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This year’s meeting will be held on Thursday, May 24, 2007, at 1:00 p.m., at One North Franklin Street, Third Floor, Chicago, Illinois, at which time shareholders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2007, will be asked to:

      (1)       elect all trustees to a one-year term;
 
(2) ratify our selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditor for 2007;
 
(3) vote on a shareholder proposal requesting that Equity Residential adopt a majority vote standard for the election of trustees; and
 
(4) consider any other business properly brought before the meeting.

      Your vote is very important. Whether or not you attend the meeting in person, I urge you to promptly vote your proxy as soon as possible by the Internet, by telephone or by mail using the enclosed postage-paid reply envelope. If you decide to attend the meeting and vote in person, you will, of course, have that opportunity.

      Thank you for your continued support of Equity Residential.

Sincerely, 
 
Yasmina Duwe
