           Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-60749)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as your counsel in connection  with the preparation of (i) a
registration statement (the "Registration  Statement") on Form S-3 (Registration
No.   333-60749)  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission  (the
"Commission")  pursuant to the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act");
(ii)  a  prospectus   forming  a  part  of  the   Registration   Statement  (the
"Prospectus");  (iii) a Pooling and Servicing  Agreement dated as of December 1,
1999 (the  "Pooling and  Servicing  Agreement")  among PNC  Mortgage  Acceptance
Corp.,  as Depositor (the  "Company"),  Midland Loan  Services,  Inc., as Master
Servicer and Special Servicer, and Norwest Bank Minnesota,  National Association
as Trustee  (the  "Trustee");  and,  (iv) a final  prospectus  supplement  dated
November 22, 1999 (the "Prospectus  Supplement")  relating to the offer and sale
of  the  PNC  Mortgage  Acceptance  Corp.   Commercial   Mortgage   Pass-Through
Certificates,  Series 1999-CM1 Class S, Class A-1A, Class A-1B, Class A-2, Class
A-3,  Class  A-4,  Class  B-1 and  Class  B-2  Certificates  (collectively,  the
"Certificates").  Capitalized  terms used and not otherwise  defined herein have
the respective meanings given them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
Accord identified in the following paragraph.

      This Opinion Letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, the Legal Opinion Accord (the "Accord") of the ABA Section of Business Law
(1991).  As  a  consequence,  it  is  subject  to  a  number  of  qualification,
exceptions,  definitions,  limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as
more  particularly  described in the Accord,  and this Opinion  Letter should be
read in conjunction therewith. The opinions expressed herein are given only with
respect to the present status of the  substantive  laws of the state of Missouri
(not  including  the  choice-of-law  rules under  Missouri  law).  We express no
opinion as to any matter arising under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

      In rendering the opinions set forth below,  we have examined and relied on
the following: (1) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement;  (2)  the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement;  and (3)  such  other
documents,  materials,  and authorities as we have deemed  necessary in order to
enable us to render our opinions set forth below.

      Based on and subject to the foregoing and other  qualifications  set forth
below, we are of the opinion that:

      1. The Pooling and  Servicing  Agreement is the valid and legally  binding
obligation of the Company,  enforceable  against the Company in accordance  with
its terms.

      2.  When  (a)  the  Mortgage  Loans  and  other   consideration   for  the
Certificates  constituting  the Trust Fund have been deposited with the Trustee,
(b) the Certificates have been duly executed, authenticated,  delivered and sold
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement
and (c) the  consideration  for the sale of the Certificates has been fully paid
to the Company,  the Certificates will be legally and validly issued, fully paid
and  nonassessable,  and the duly registered holders of the Certificates will be
entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

      The General Qualifications apply to the opinions set forth in paragraphs 1
and 2 above,  and in addition,  such  opinions are subject to the  qualification
that certain  remedial,  waiver and other similar  provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the Certificates may be rendered unenforceable or limited
by  applicable  laws,   regulations  or  judicial  decisions,   but  such  laws,
regulations  and judicial  decisions  will not render the Pooling and  Servicing
Agreement or the Certificates  invalid as a whole and will not make the remedies
available thereunder  inadequate for the practical  realization of the principal
benefits intended to be provided thereby,  except for the economic  consequences
of any judicial, administrative or other delay or procedure which may be imposed
by applicable law.

      We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  letter  as an  Exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement  and to the  references  to this firm under the  heading
"Legal Matters" in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration  Statement.
This consent is not to be  construed as an admission  that we are a person whose
consent  is  required  to be filed  with the  Registration  Statement  under the
provisions of the Act.

                                Very truly yours,

      Re:  Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through  Certificates,  Series 1999-CM1


Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as your counsel in connection with the proposed  issuance of
Commercial  Mortgage  Pass-Through  Certificates,  Series  1999-CM1 (the "Series
1999-CM1  Certificates")  pursuant  to the  Registration  Statement  on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-60749) (the  "Registration  Statement") and the Prospectus
dated November 22, 1999 and Prospectus  Supplement  dated November 22, 1999 (the
"Prospectus"  and the  "Prospectus  Supplement",  respectively)  filed  with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended  (the  "Act").  The  Prospectus  Supplement  covers  Certificates  to be
publicly offered by PNC Mortgage Acceptance  Corporation (the "Depositor"),  the
Class S, Class A-1A,  Class A-1B, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class B-1 and
Class B-2 Certificates.  The Series 1999-CM2 Certificates will be issued under a
Pooling and Servicing  Agreement  dated as of December 1, 1999, by and among the
Depositor, Midland Loan Services, Inc., as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
and Norwest Bank Minnesota,  National Association,  as Trustee (the "Pooling and
Servicing  Agreement").  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
have the  respective  meanings  given them in the  Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement.

      In rendering  the opinion set forth below,  we have examined and relied on
the following: (1) the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and all exhibits
thereto; (2) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;  and (3) such other documents,
materials, and authorities as we have deemed necessary.

      As your  counsel,  we have  advised  you with  respect to certain  federal
income tax aspects of the issuance of the Series 1999-C2 Certificates.  Assuming
compliance  with all  provisions  of,  or  descriptions  within,  the  documents
referenced  above,  we are of the  opinion  that (i) each  pool of  assets  with
respect to which a REMIC election is made will qualify as a REMIC under the Code
and (ii) the Class S, Class A-1A,  Class A-1B,  Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class  B-1,  Class B-2 and the  Privately  Placed  Certificates  other  than the
residual certificates (as defined in the Pooling and

  Washington, D.C. / Phoenix, Arizona / Overland Park, Kansas / Wichita, Kansas

Servicing  Agreement)  will be, or will  represent  ownership of, REMIC "regular
interests" and (b) each respective  residual interest will be the sole "residual
interest" in the related REMIC.

      As your  counsel,  we have  advised  you with  respect to certain  federal
income tax aspects of the  issuance of the Series  1999-CM1  Certificates.  Such
advice has formed the basis for the  description of material  federal income tax
consequences  for  holders of the  Certificates  that  appear  under the heading
"MATERIAL  FEDERAL  INCOME TAX  CONSEQUENCES"  in the  Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement.  Such  descriptions  do not purport to discuss all possible  federal
income tax ramifications of the proposed issuance of the Certificates, but, with
respect to those federal  income tax  consequences  that are  discussed,  in our
opinion, the description is accurate in all material respects.

      This  opinion  is based on the  facts and  circumstances  set forth in the
Prospectus and the Prospectus  Supplement and in the other documents reviewed by
us. Our opinion as to the matters set forth  herein could change with respect to
the  Series  1999-CM1   Certificates  as  a  result  of  changes  in  facts  and
circumstances,  changes in the terms of the documents reviewed by us, or changes
in the law subsequent to the date hereof.

      We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  letter  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement  and to the  references  to our firm  under the  heading
"MATERIAL  FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES" in the Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement.  This consent is not to be  construed as an admission  that we are a
person  whose  consent is required to be filed with the  Registration  Statement
under the provisions of the Act.

                               Very truly yours,

                               MORRISON & HECKER L.L.P.
