preference, your shares will be voted FOR each of the nominees. We suggest that
you return a proxy even if you plan to attend the meeting.

for the meeting to be held. A nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast at the meeting to be elected to the board.

Who will pay the cost for this proxy solicitation and how much will it cost?
CPA(R):14 will pay the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy

solicitation of proxies by mail, we may utilize some of the officers and
employees of Carey Property Advisors, L.P. (who will receive no compensation in
addition to their regular salaries) to solicit proxies personally and by
telephone. Currently, we do not intend to retain a solicitation firm to assist
in the solicitation of proxies, but if sufficient proxies are not returned to
us, we may retain an outside firm to assist in proxy solicitation for a fee
estimated not to exceed $7,500, plus out-of-pocket expenses. We may request
banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies
of the proxy statement to their principals and to request authority for the
execution of proxies, and will reimburse such persons for their expenses in so
doing.

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The board of directors has approved, and is recommending to the
shareholders for approval at the annual meeting, an amendment to Article 3(a) of
CPA(R):14's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common
stock which the company is authorized to issue from 60,000,000 shares to
120,000,000 shares of common stock.
Purpose of Proposed Amendment
The proposed amendment would increase the number of shares of common stock
the company is authorized to issue from 60,000,000 to 120,000,000. The
additional 60,000,000 shares would be part of the existing class of common stock
and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares
of common stock presently issued and outstanding. CPA(R):14 believes it is
desirable to have the additional authorized shares of common stock available for
future capital raising and other general corporate purposes.
Effect of Proposed Amendment
Any future issuance of additional shares of common stock, may, among other
things, have a dilutive effect on earnings per share of common stock and on the
equity and voting rights of those holding common stock at the time such shares
are issued.
The proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation will become effective
if it receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes
cast at the annual meeting.
The board of directors unanimously recommend a vote "FOR" approval of an
amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of
common stock from 60,000,000 to 120,000,000 shares.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors of CPA(R):14 has a standing Audit Committee which is
chaired by Mr. Wintrub. The Audit Committee, which held two meetings in 1998
attended by all members, reviews on behalf of the board of directors the
financial information provided to shareholders, regulatory authorities and
governmental agencies for accuracy, reliability and completeness. In addition,
it reviews the company's systems of internal control and accounting policies for
effectiveness in safeguarding the assets of the company. Members of this Audit
Committee include Warren G. Wintrub, William Ruder and William P. Carey.
The board of directors of CPA(R):14 does not have a standing nominating or
compensation committee.
