ACQUISITION OF BRIDGES AT WIND RIVER APARTMENTS

         Effective May 12, 2004, BNP Residential Properties acquired Page Park
Holdings, LLC and its primary asset, Bridges at Wind River Apartments (formerly
Oakwood Raleigh Apartments).

         We acquired Page Park Holdings, LLC from Chimney Rock Associates, L.P.
for a contract price of $25.0 million, including:

o Issuance of 39,270 partnership units in BNP Residential Properties Limited
Partnership, which we refer to as the Operating Partnership. The partnership
units' imputed value was $13.00 per unit, or approximately $511,000;

o Assumption of $24.3 million debt, including a first deed of trust loan with a
$22.6 million balance plus $1.7 million prepayment fees; and

o Assumption of $0.2 million net operating liabilities assumed in excess of
operating assets acquired.

         On May 13, 2004, we applied $19.7 million proceeds from a fixed-rate
loan from Wachovia Multi-Family Capital, Inc. to retire the existing loan
obligation related to the apartment property. A deed of trust and assignment of
rents of Bridges at Wind River Apartments secure the new loan. The 10-year note
payable provides for interest at a fixed rate of 5.57% payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of approximately $113,000 per month, and
may be extended for one additional year at a variable rate.

         In conjunction with the refinancing, we made a $5.0 million draw on our
line of credit secured by Latitudes Apartments.

         Bridges at Wind River Apartments is located in Durham, North Carolina,
and contains 346 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments averaging 1,130 square
feet. The 29.4-acre property also includes 60 garages, a swimming pool, exercise
facility, business center and tennis court.

         BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust
focused on owning and operating apartment communities. Following this
acquisition, BNP now owns and operates 21 apartment communities containing 5,205
apartments and provides third-party management services for 8 multi-family
communities containing 2,061 units. In addition to the apartment properties, BNP
owns 40 restaurant properties that we lease on a triple-net basis to a
restaurant operator. We currently operate in the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia.

         BNP Residential Properties, Inc. is structured as an UPREIT, or
umbrella partnership real estate investment trust. The Company is the sole
general partner and owns a controlling interest in the Operating Partnership.
All of the Company's operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership.

         We issued a press release on May 13, 2004, to announce these
transactions. A copy of this press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 of this
report.
