Item 5.  Other Events

         On December 19, 2001, Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security
Capital") consummated the public offering of 19,403,417 shares of the common
stock of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (the "Company"). The shares were offered
to the public at $28.37 per share. Immediately prior to the consummation of the
offering, Security Capital owned approximately 37.4% of the outstanding common
stock of the Company. Security Capital now no longer owns any shares of the
Company's common stock.

         In light of the fact that Security Capital no longer has an ownership
interest in the Company, in connection with the closing of the offering, Messrs.
William D. Sanders and C. Ronald Blankenship and Ms. Caroline S. McBride, each a
Security Capital designee to the Company's nine-member board of directors,
resigned as members of the Company's board.
