The most unique and best-in-class feature of UDR`s apartment locator iPhone
application is the ability to reserve and place a hold on an apartment from
anywhere around the world. In a few taps on the iPhone screen, apartment
searchers can choose their apartment home and reserve it until they visit the
apartment for a tour.

In addition to UDR`s iPhone apartment search app, UDR has a WAP and iPhone
compatible website. UDR`s mobile users during the December, 2008 to May, 2009
timeframe has shown that over 15,000 mobile apartment prospects are searching
for apartments representing 34 countries. The top five countries looking for an
apartment either on UDR`s WAP website (http://udrapartments.mobi) or UDR`s
iPhone compatible website (http://iphone.udr.com) are from the United States,
Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Japan.

According to Steve Taraborelli, UDR`s V.P. of sales and marketing, "UDR`s
apartment finder iPhone app is targeted to a growing smartphone audience that is
replacing their landline and/or home pc because mobile users are realizing that
smartphone`s are basically mini-computers in their pocket." Taraborelli further
adds, "The demographic and technographic data for the mobile market fits
perfectly into UDR`s mobile strategy to attract and retain apartment renters who
are becoming more reliant on a mobile device and less reliant on their personal
computers." He further adds, "Not only are we attracting apartment prospects
within the United States, but from around the world now."
