Item 5. OTHER EVENTS

                  On June 5, 2002, Apartment Investment and Management Company
("AIMCO") completed the sale of 8,000,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock in
an underwritten public offering for which Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
acted as underwriter. AIMCO also gave the underwriter an option to purchase
1,200,000 additional shares of the Class A Common Stock to cover overallotments.
The sale was made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated May 30, 2002, a
copy of which is included as Exhibit 1.1 to this report and incorporated herein
by reference.

                  The net proceeds to AIMCO from the sale of the shares of Class
A Common Stock, after deducting estimated expenses of $150,000 and underwriting
discounts and commissions of $2,240,000, were approximately $369,210,000. The
net proceeds were invested in the AIMCO operating partnership, which will use
approximately $279,500,000 of such net proceeds to repay the AIMCO operating
partnership's outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility. The
AIMCO operating partnership will use the remaining net proceeds to prepay a term
loan, the proceeds of which were used to fund the acquisition of Casden
Properties Inc. in March 2002. In addition, the AIMCO operating partnership may
borrow funds under the revolving credit facility to prepay all or some of the
remaining balance of the term loan.
