Equity Residential Selects RealPage as Its Military Software Platform

(January 28, 2010) — RealPage, Inc., (www.realpage.com), a leading provider of on-demand software and services to the real estate industry, and Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today announced that OneSite® Military Housing from RealPage has been selected by Equity Residential as the software platform for the Joint Base Lewis-McChord located in Washington state.

Beginning February 1, 2010, OneSite will become the system of record for Lewis-McChord Communities LLC, managed by Equity Residential. RealPage won the contract following an intense, month-long evaluation between OneSite Military Housing and the current platform.

“We were impressed with the rigor and scope of the evaluation,” said Dave McKenna, director for military markets at RealPage. “The structured trial exercised all of the features and integration points of our software system. It put us all to the test and we are proud of our accomplishment.”

Joint Base Lewis-McChord, located 60 miles south of Seattle, maintains 4,700 units of family housing in 16 residential neighborhoods. The Lewis-McChord RCI family housing project is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2007 Excellence in Home Design Award from the National Association of Home Builders, and is a three-year recipient of the Energy Star Award.
