Item 8.01.           Other Events

     Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Company”) is re-issuing in an updated format its historical financial statements in connection with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold a property and in compliance with SFAS 144 has reported revenue, expenses and gain on sale from the sale of this property as discontinued operations for each period presented in its quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 (including the comparable period of the prior year). Under SEC requirements, the same reclassification as discontinued operations required by SFAS 144 following the sale of a property is required for previously issued annual financial statements for each of the three years shown in the Company’s last annual report on Form 10-K/A, if those financials are incorporated by reference in subsequent filings with the SEC made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even though those financial statements relate to periods prior to the date of the sale. This reclassification has no effect on the Company’s reported net income.

          This Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15(a)1 and 2 of the Company’s 2003 Form 10-K/A filed on June 22, 2004, to reflect the property sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as discontinued operations. All other items of the Form 10-K/A remain unchanged. The unchanged and updated sections of the Company’s Form 10-K/A are attached hereto as exhibit 99.1. No attempt has been made to update matters in the Form 10-K/A except to the extent expressly provided above.
