Item 5.  Other Events.

On October 10, 2002, HRPT Properties  Trust ("HRP" or the "Company")  closed the
acquisition of Centre Square Office Building, 1500 Market Street,  Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.  This property contains  approximately 1.77 million square feet of
Class A office space in the center of downtown Philadelphia.  The purchase price
was $183.5  million  plus  closing  costs.  Centre  Square is 97% occupied by 37
different tenants.  The larger tenants  representing a combined 62% of the total
available  space include  Towers,  Perrin,  Forster & Crosby,  Inc., a personnel
services company,  Comcast Corporation (NASDQ:  CMCSA) and banking affiliates of
Wachovia  Corporation  (NYSE:  WB). As is  customary in large  central  business
district multi-tenant office buildings, the current leases expire on a staggered
basis, but approximately 75% of the available space is leased to 2006 or beyond.

On October 11, 2002,  HRP acquired  Corporate  Center at Academy Park located in
Lakewood,  Colorado. This 213,000 sq. ft., Class A, suburban office property was
purchased for $28.75 million plus closing costs. This property is 100% leased to
the U.S. Government Department of the Interior to 2012.

HRP funded these  purchases  with cash on hand plus drawings under its unsecured
revolving bank credit facility.

Since the beginning of 2002, HRP has acquired seven office properties, including
the two properties  referred to above.  These seven properties contain 3,322,000
sq. ft. and were  purchased for  approximately  $388 million.  At the time these
properties were acquired they had a combined occupancy of 96% and the rents less
operating costs produced current yields of  approximately  10.9% of the purchase
prices.  Moreover,  HRP expects that rents reportable  under generally  accepted
accounting  principles  which take account of scheduled rent increases in signed
leases may produce higher yields.  Also,  because of changes which will occur in
occupancy,  rents and expenses over time, HRP expects that the yields which will
be realized from the  properties  it has  purchased may be different  from those
historically experienced.

Pro forma financial data for the Company and the financial  statements  prepared
pursuant to the  requirements  of Rule 3-14 of Regulation  S-X, of Centre Square
and two other acquired properties are included in Item 7 to this Form 8-K.

         Neither the Company  nor its  affiliates  are related to the sellers of
         these properties.  The historical financial statements listed in Item 7
         (a)  (the  "Acquired  Property  Statements")  present  the  results  of
         operations of acquired  properties (the "Acquired  Properties")  during
         periods prior to their acquisition by HRP and exclude,  as permitted by
         Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, items of revenue and expense which are not
         comparable to the expected  future  operations by HRP. In assessing the
         Acquired  Properties,  HRP considered each property's  revenue sources,
         including  those  which  have been  affected,  and are  expected  to be
         affected  in the  future by  factors  including,  but not  limited  to,
         demand,  supply  and  competitive  factors  present  in the  local  and
         national  markets  for office  space and the ability of tenants to make
         payments  when  due.  HRP  also  considered  each  property's  expenses
         including,  but not  limited  to,  utility  costs,  tax rates and other
         expenses,  and the portion of such expenses which may be recovered from
         tenants.  After  inquiry  of the  respective  sellers  of the  Acquired
         Properties,  HRP is not aware of any material  factors other than those
         discussed  above or  referred to in the pro forma data listed in Item 7
         (b), below, which would cause the financial information reported in the
         Acquired Property Statements not to be necessarily indicative of future
         operating results.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To the Board of Trustees
HRPT Properties Trust


We have audited the  accompanying  statement  of revenues and certain  operating
expenses of the  Property  ("Centre  Square")  acquired  from Centre  Square,  a
Pennsylvania  general  partnership,  as  described in Note 1, for the year ended
December 31, 2001.  This  financial  statement is the  responsibility  of Centre
Square's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  the
financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statement is free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also
includes  assessing the basis of accounting used and significant  estimates made
by management,  as well as evaluating the overall  presentation of the financial
statement.  We  believe  that our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

The accompanying  financial  statement was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and  regulations of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission for
inclusion  in Form 8-K of HRPT  Properties  Trust  and is not  intended  to be a
complete presentation of Centre Square's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the revenues and certain  operating  expenses of Centre
Square for the year ended  December  31, 2001,  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

          Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

1.       General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         Centre Square, a Pennsylvania  general  partnership  ("CSGP") owned and
         operated two office towers and a parking  garage located at 1500 Market
         Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (collectively the "Property"). The
         partners of CSGP are Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MLIC") (99%)
         and  Metropolitan  Tower Realty Company ("MTRC") (1%). The Property was
         subject  to a ground  lease with  Centre  Square  Two,  a  Pennsylvania
         general  partnership,  and a related  party to both  MLIC and MTRC.  On
         October 10, 2002, HRPT Properties Trust ("HRPT")  acquired the Property
         and ground lease and assumed ownership and management responsibilities.

         The  accompanying  financial  statement has been prepared in accordance
         with  Rule  3-14  of  Regulation  S-X of the  Securities  and  Exchange
         Commission  for  inclusion  in Form 8-K of HRPT.  Accordingly,  certain
         historical   operating  expenses  of  the  Property  that  may  not  be
         comparable  to the expenses  expected to be incurred in the future have
         been  excluded.   Excluded   expenses   consist  of  depreciation   and
         amortization,  interest expense,  ground lease expense, and other costs
         not directly  related to the future  operations.  In addition,  certain
         payments  received by the  Property  for lease  terminations  have been
         excluded from revenues.

         Use  of  Estimates  -  Preparation  of  this  financial   statement  in
         conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
         States requires CSGP management to make estimates and assumptions  that
         may  affect  the  amounts  reported  in this  financial  statement  and
         accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Rental Revenues - Tenant leases are accounted for as operating  leases.
         Rental income is recognized on a  straight-line  basis over the term of
         the related leases.

         Reimbursements  from Tenants - Reimbursement from tenants,  principally
         for  increases  in  operating  expenses and real estate taxes over base
         year amounts, are recognized when they become billable to the tenants.

2.       Leases

         CSGP, as lessor,  has entered into  non-cancelable  operating leases at
         the  Property.  Minimum  future  rentals  under the leases in effect at
         December 31, 2001, are summarized as follows:

                 Year
                 ----

                 2003                               32,478,044
                 2004                               32,290,121
                 2005                               27,771,612
                 2006                               16,234,950
                 Thereafter                         39,105,571
                                                --------------
                                                $  179,707,656
                                                ==============

         The leases at the  Property are  generally  for a term greater than one
         year and less than forty years and provide  for  operating  expense and
         real estate tax escalations as well as renewal options at market rates.

         For  the  year  ended   December  31,  2001,   two  tenants   comprised
         approximately 25% and 15% of Property rental income, respectively.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To the Board of Trustees
HRPT Properties Trust


We have audited the  accompanying  statement  of revenues and certain  operating
expenses of the Property  ("Unisource  Energy  Tower")  acquired from Big Tucson
Limited Partnership,  a Texas limited  partnership,  as described in Note 1, for
the year ended December 31, 2001. This financial statement is the responsibility
of Unisource  Energy Tower's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an
opinion on the financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statement is free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also
includes  assessing the basis of accounting used and significant  estimates made
by management,  as well as evaluating the overall  presentation of the financial
statement.  We  believe  that our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

The accompanying  financial  statement was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and  regulations of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission for
inclusion  in Form 8-K of HRPT  Properties  Trust  and is not  intended  to be a
complete presentation of Unisource Energy Tower's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in

          Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

1.       General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         Prior to February 27, 2002,  Big Tucson  Limited  Partnership,  a Texas
         limited  partnership,  ("BTLP")  owned and  operated  Unisource  Energy
         Tower,  a property  consisting  of one office  building and one parking
         structure located in Tucson, Arizona (collectively the "Property").  On
         February 27, 2002, HRPT Properties Trust ("HRPT") acquired the Property
         from BTLP and assumed management and ownership responsibilities.

         The  accompanying  financial  statement has been prepared in accordance
         with  Rule  3-14  of  Regulation  S-X of the  Securities  and  Exchange
         Commission  for  inclusion  in Form 8-K of HRPT.  Accordingly,  certain
         historical   operating  expenses  of  the  Property  that  may  not  be
         comparable  to the expenses  expected to be incurred in the future have
         been excluded. Excluded expenses consist of depreciation,  amortization
         and interest expense not directly  related to the future  operations of
         the Property.

         Use  of  Estimates  -  Preparation  of  this  financial   statement  in
         conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
         States requires BTLP management to make estimates and assumptions  that
         may  affect  the  amounts  reported  in this  financial  statement  and
         accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Rental Revenues - Tenant leases are accounted for as operating  leases.
         Rental income is recognized on a  straight-line  basis over the term of
         the related leases.

         Reimbursements from Tenants - Reimbursements from tenants,  principally
         for  increases  in  operating  expenses and real estate taxes over base
         year amounts, are recognized when they become billable to tenants.

         31, 2001, are summarized as follows:

                  Year

                  Thereafter                             5,487,094
                                                     -------------

                                                     =============

         The leases at the  Property are  generally  for a term greater than one
         year and less than twenty-six  years and provide for operating  expense
         and real estate tax  escalations  as well as renewal  options at market
         rates.

         For  the  year  ended   December   31,  2001,   one  tenant   comprised
         approximately 17% of Property rental income.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



To the Board of Trustees
HRPT Properties Trust


We have audited the  accompanying  statement  of revenues and certain  operating
expenses  of  the  Property  ("Highland  Place  II")  acquired  from  Brookfield
Colorado,  Inc.,  a Colorado  corporation  as  described in Note 1, for the year
ended  December 31, 2001.  This  financial  statement is the  responsibility  of
Highland Place II's management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on
the financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statement is free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also
includes  assessing the basis of accounting used and significant  estimates made
by management,  as well as evaluating the overall  presentation of the financial
statement.  We  believe  that our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

The accompanying  financial  statement was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and  regulations of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission for
inclusion  in Form 8-K of HRPT  Properties  Trust  and is not  intended  to be a
complete presentation of Highland Place II's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the revenues and certain operating expenses of Highland
Place II for the year ended  December 31, 2001,  in conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

          Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses

1.       General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         Prior to  November  2,  2001,  Brookfield  Colorado,  Inc.,  a Colorado
         corporation  ("Brookfield")  owned and  operated  Highland  Place II, a
         three-story  office  building  located  in  Englewood,   Colorado  (the
         "Property").  On  November  2, 2001,  HRPT  Properties  Trust  ("HRPT")
         acquired  the  Property  from  Brookfield  and assumed  management  and
         ownership responsibilities.

         The  accompanying  financial  statement has been prepared in accordance
         with  Rule  3-14  of  Regulation  S-X of the  Securities  and  Exchange
         Commission  for  inclusion  in Form 8-K of HRPT.  Accordingly,  certain
         historical   operating  expenses  of  the  Property  that  may  not  be
         comparable  to the expenses  expected to be incurred in the future have
         been excluded. Excluded expenses consist of depreciation,  amortization
         and interest expense not directly  related to the future  operations of
         the Property.  In addition,  certain payments  received by the Property
         for lease terminations have been excluded from revenues.

         Use  of  Estimates  -  Preparation  of  this  financial   statement  in
         conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
         States requires Brookfield management to make estimates and assumptions
         that may affect the amounts  reported in this  financial  statement and
         accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Rental Revenues - Tenant leases are accounted for as operating  leases.
         Rental income is recognized on a  straight-line  basis over the term of
         the related leases.

         Reimbursements from Tenants - Reimbursements from tenants,  principally
         for  increases  in  operating  expenses and real estate taxes over base
         year amounts, are recognized when they become billable to tenants.

 Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following  unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  balance sheet as of
June  30,  2002,  reflects  the  financial  position  of the  Company  as if the
transactions  described in the footnotes to the  unaudited  pro forma  condensed
consolidated financial statements were completed on June 30, 2002. The unaudited
pro forma condensed  consolidated  statements of income for the six months ended
June 30, 2002,  and the year ended  December  31,  2001,  present the results of
operations of the Company as if the  transactions  described in the notes to the
unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial statements were completed
on January 1, 2001. These unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  should  be read in  connection  with,  and are  qualified  in  their
entirety by reference  to, the  financial  statements of the Company for the six
months ended June 30, 2002,  included in the Company's  Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q,  the financial  statements of the Company for the year ended  December 31,
2001,  included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K and the financial
statements  included in Item 7(a) of this Form 8-K.  These  unaudited  pro forma
financial  statements are not necessarily  indicative of the expected results of
operations of the Company for any future period.  Differences could result from,
among  other  considerations,  future  changes  in the  Company's  portfolio  of
investments,  changes in interest rates, changes in the capital structure of the
Company,  changes in property level operating expenses,  and changes in property
level  revenues  including  rents  expected to be received on leases in place or
signed during and after 2001.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments

(A)      Represents the impact of the Company's acquisitions  subsequent to June
         30, 2002,  through October 11, 2002, of properties located in Lakewood,
         CO,  Philadelphia,  PA  ("Centre  Square")  and  Fresno,  CA,  and  the
         repayment of $150,000 of 6.75% senior notes due in December 2002. These
         activities  were  funded in part with  borrowings  under the  Company's
         revolving  bank credit  facility and in part with the net proceeds from
         the  Company's  September  2002  sale of  $300,000  of 8.75%  preferred
         shares.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Statement of Income Adjustments for
the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

(B)      Represents the pro forma impact on rental income and operating expenses
         of Centre  Square for the six months ended June 30,  2002,  and the pro
         forma impact of this  acquisition on depreciation  and amortization and
         general and  administrative  expenses.  Rental income presented exceeds
         historical  rental  income for the six months ended June 30,  2002,  by
         $1,858,  an amount  derived from the pro forma  application,  as of the
         beginning of the presented period, of the generally accepted accounting
         principle  which  requires  that  rents from  noncancellable  operating
         leases be recognized on a straight line basis over the remaining length
         of the leases.  This principle is expected to be applied by the Company

         expected to differ from amounts presented for the pro forma periods.

(C)      Represents the impact on rental income and operating  expenses of other

    Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Statement of Income Adjustments for
the Year Ended December 31, 2001

(E)      Represents the pro forma impact on rental income and operating expenses
         of Centre Square for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, and the
         pro forma impact of this  acquisition on depreciation  and amortization
         and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Rental  income  presented
         exceeds  historical rental income for the year ended December 31, 2001,
         by $4,187, an amount derived from the pro forma application,  as of the
         beginning of the presented period, of the generally accepted accounting
         principle  which  requires  that  rents from  noncancellable  operating
         leases be recognized on a straight line basis over the remaining length
         of the leases.  This principle is expected to be applied by the Company
         as of the date of  acquisition  and  actual  future  rental  income  is
         expected to differ from amounts presented for the pro forma periods.

(F)      Represents the impact on rental income and operating  expenses of other
         properties  acquired  during 2001 through October 11, 2002, and the pro
         forma impact of these acquisitions on interest income, depreciation and
         amortization  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  One  of the
         acquired properties is 100% leased to the United States government.  On
         November 30, 2001, the United States government  lease,  which provided
         annual rents of $2.4 million,  ended and was thereafter replaced with a
         new, 10-year lease to the same tenant, for annual rent of $8.9 million.
         If the new lease had begun as of  January  1,  2001,  pro forma  rental
         income would have been  approximately  $460.9 million,  or $6.5 million
         higher   than  the  amounts   presented.   Similarly,   income   before
         extraordinary  item available for common  shareholders  would have been
         $72.2  million  ($0.55 per share),  or $5.5  million  ($0.04 per share)
         higher than the amounts presented.

(G)      Represents   the  net  effect  on  interest   expense   and   preferred
         distributions  resulting from the  acquisitions  described in Notes (E)
         and (F), above, the 2002 financing  transactions discussed in Note (D),
         above,  the issuance of $200,000 of 9.875% preferred shares in February
         2001,   the  repayment  of  $202,547  of  the  Company's   subordinated
         debentures  in March 2001,  plus the net impact of these  activities on
         interest  expense related to the net change in the Company's  revolving
         credit facility.  During the presented period,  the average rate on the
         credit facility was 4.3%.
