Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On April 1, 2011, UDR, Inc. (the "Company"), through United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), closed on the acquisition of a multifamily apartment community referred to as 10 Hanover Square, located in New York City, New York (the "Community"). The Community was acquired for $259.8 million, which included the assumption of $192 million of debt. In connection with the closing, the Operating Partnership issued 2,569,606 Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") for the contribution of the Community to the Operating Partnership. The Units were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuance of the OP Units was not effected using any form of general advertising or general solicitation and the issuance was made to only a qualified investor.

Limited partners holding OP Units have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year. The Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Share Amount (generally one share of common stock of the Company for each OP Unit), as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement.
