                    Income and Direct Operating Expenses for the year ended

               In acquiring One Central Plaza, WRIT evaluated among other

               ad valorem tax rates, maintenance expenses and anticipated
               capital expenditures). After reasonable inquiry, management is
               not aware of any material factors affecting One Central Plaza

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Trustees of
         Washington Real Estate Investment Trust

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct
Operating Expenses of One Central Plaza ("Historical Summary") for the year
ended December 31, 2000. This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the
Building's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Historical Summary based on our audit.

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

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as
described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Building's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in
Note 2 of One Central Plaza for the year ended December 31, 2000, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
