We acknowledge your disclosure that the spin-off was developed as a result of a review by Aimco s board and management, working with outside advisors.

Joseph A. Coco, Esq. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP October 16, 2020 Page 2 The Special Meeting Request Procedure Effect of WHITE Revocation Card, page 5 2. Refer to your disclosure at the bottom of page 5 that [a]ny WHITE Revocation Card may itself be revoked by marking, signing, dating and delivering a written revocation of your WHITE Revocation Card to the Company or by delivering to Land & Buildings a subsequently dated GOLD Written Request Card Please clarify that a stockholder s submission to you of a written revocation of the stockholder s white card will not have the effect of supporting Land & Buildings call for a special meeting. Rather, a stockholder who first submits a white revocation card and later wishes to support the call for a special meeting can do so only by submitting a subsequently dated gold card to Land & Buildings. Form of Revocation of Written Request 3. Clarify the effect under applicable state law of submitting an executed revocation of written request but one marked no, do not revoke my request. If a stockholder has already submitted a gold card to Land & Buildings, disclose whether there is a risk that the execution of a subsequently dated white revocation card could be counted as a revocation regardless of the box selected. Additionally, revise the revocation solicitation statement to explain the anticipated treatment under state law of executed consent revocations when the no, do not revoke my request box has been selected. For example, affirmatively state, if true, that an earlier-executed consent given to Land & Buildings will be affirmed. * * * We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
