     Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated is a real estate investment

focused on investing in and owning net leased industrial and commercial real
property. This prospectus describes an investment in the shares of CPA(R):14.
Carey Property Advisors L.P. manages our business.

     We are offering and selling 40,000,000 shares of common stock with this
prospectus for $10 each. You must purchase at least 250 shares for $2,500,
except in special circumstances described in this prospectus.

     SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 13 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS
THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE YOU INVEST IN THE COMMON STOCK BEING SOLD WITH
THIS PROSPECTUS.

     In particular, you should consider the following risks:

      --  The value of the properties we own may go down, sometimes due to a
          bankruptcy of one or more of our tenants or for other reasons.

      --  The amount of any distributions we make may be reduced.

      --  It is likely that if you have to sell your shares soon after you buy
          them, you will have to sell them for less than $10 per share.

      --  Carey Property Advisors may be subject to some conflicts of interest
          in managing our business which could affect the distributions you
          receive and the fees received by Carey Property Advisors.

                          QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT
                CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 14 INCORPORATED'S
                                PUBLIC OFFERING

Q:  WHAT IS CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 14 INCORPORATED?

A.  CPA(R):14 is a real estate investment trust, or a REIT, that was formed in
    1997 to acquire commercial and industrial properties and lease them on a
    long-term, triple-net basis.

Q:  WHAT IS A REIT?

A:  In general, a REIT is a company that:

      --  combines the capital of many investors to acquire or provide financing
          for real estate;

      --  offers benefits of a diversified real estate portfolio under
          professional management;

      --  must pay distributions to investors of at least 95% of its taxable
          income; and

      --  typically is not subject to federal corporate income taxes on its net
          income that it distributes, provided certain income taxes requirements
          are satisfied. This treatment substantially eliminates the "double
          taxation" (at both the corporate and shareholder levels) that
          generally results from investments in a corporation.

Q:  WHAT KIND OF OFFERING IS THIS?

A:  We are offering up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock on a "best efforts"
    basis.

Q:  HOW DOES A "BEST EFFORTS" OFFERING WORK?

A:  When shares are offered to the public on a "best efforts" basis, we are not
    guaranteeing that any minimum number of shares will be sold. If you choose
    to purchase stock in this offering, you will fill out a Subscription
    Agreement, like the one attached to this prospectus as Exhibit B, for a
    specific number of shares and pay for the shares at the time you subscribe.
    The purchase price will be placed into escrow with United States Trust
    Company of New York. United States Trust Company will hold your funds, along
    with those of other subscribers, in an interest-bearing account until the
    time you are admitted by us as a shareholder. Interest earned on your money
    held in escrow will be distributed to you soon after you become a
    shareholder. Generally, we admit shareholders on a quarterly basis.

Q:  HOW LONG WILL THE OFFERING LAST?

A:  The offering will not last beyond November 16, 2001.

Q:  WHO CAN BUY SHARES?

A:  Anyone who receives this prospectus can buy shares provided that they have a
    net worth of at least $45,000 and an annual gross income of at least
    $45,000; or, a net worth of at least $150,000. For this purpose, net worth
    does not include your home, your home furnishings and personal automobiles.
    The purchaser of shares given as a gift must satisfy the suitability
    requirements but the gift recipient is not required to satisfy the
    suitability standards. These minimum levels may vary from state to state, so
    you should carefully read the more detailed description in the "Suitability
    Standards" section of this prospectus.

Q:  IS THERE ANY MINIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIRED?

A:  Yes. Generally, individuals must invest at least $2,500 and IRA, Keogh or
    other qualified plans must invest at least $2,000. Investors who already own
    shares can make additional purchases for less than the minimum investment.
    These minimum investment levels may vary from state to state, so you should
    carefully read the more detailed description of the minimum investment
    requirements appearing later in the "Suitability Standards" section of this
    prospectus.

                                        4
<PAGE>   5

Q:  AFTER I SUBSCRIBE FOR SHARES, CAN I CHANGE MY MIND AND WITHDRAW MY MONEY?

A:  Once you have subscribed for shares and your money has been deposited with
    The United States Trust Company of New York, your subscription may not be
    withdrawn, unless we permit you to revoke your subscription. You may,
    however, revoke your subscription for five days following your receipt of
    the prospectus.

Q:  IF I BUY SHARES IN THE OFFERING, HOW CAN I SELL THEM?

A:  At the time you purchase them, the shares will not be listed for trading on
    any national securities exchange or over-the-counter market. In fact, we
    expect that there will not be any public market for the shares when you
    purchase them, and we cannot be sure if one will ever develop. As a result,
    you may find that it is difficult to sell your shares and realize a return
    on your investment.

    If we have not listed the shares on a national securities exchange or
    over-the-counter market within eight years after the proceeds from this
    offering are fully invested, market conditions permitting, we plan to sell
    the properties and other assets and return the proceeds from these sales to
    our shareholders through distributions.

    Beginning one year after you purchase your shares, provided we have
    sufficient funds available, you may request that we redeem your shares. The
    redemption procedures are described in the "Description of
    Shares -- Redemption of Shares" section of this prospectus. The redemption
    will be subject to a surrender charge.

Q:  WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING?

A:  We plan to use approximately 86% of the proceeds from this offering to
    purchase properties and approximately 14% for working capital, to pay fees
    and expenses of this offering and for acquisition-related expenses. The
    payment of these fees will not reduce your invested capital. Your initial
    invested capital amount will be $10 per share.

    Until we invest the proceeds of this offering in real estate, we will invest
    them in short-term, highly liquid investments. These short-term investments
    will not earn as high a return as we expect to earn on our real estate
    investments, and we cannot know how long it will be before we will be able
    to fully invest the proceeds in real estate. We intend to invest or commit
    to investment substantially all of the money raised in this offering within
    two years of the close of the offering, subject to market conditions.

    We commenced our initial public offering of common stock in an offering very
    similar to this one on November 21, 1997. We received approximately
    $294,294,934 in gross offering proceeds from the initial public offering, of
    which approximately $180,914,000 was or is expected to be invested in
    properties. Our initial public offering was completed on November 10, 1999.
    The second offering of CPA(R):14 commenced on November 17, 1999. As of March
    31, 2000 we received approximately $33,838,000 in gross offering proceeds
    from the second offering.

Q:  WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF YOUR LEASES?

A:  Generally, the leases we have entered into to date, and the leases we expect
    to enter into in the future, are long-term (meaning generally 10 to 20
    years, plus renewal options for an additional 10 to 20 years), "triple-net"
    leases. "Triple-net" means that the tenant, not CPA(R):14, is responsible
    for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities and insurance. Under our
    leases, the tenant must pay us minimum rent on a regular basis. In addition,
    our leases usually require the tenant to pay rent increases tied to an index
    like the Consumer Price Index at specified times during the term of the
    lease or some percentage of sales at the property over an agreed-upon base.
    We may enter into leases where we have responsibility for replacement of
    specific parts of a property like a roof or parking lot. We do not expect
    that these leases will make up a significant portion of the portfolio.

                                        5
<PAGE>   6

Q:  HOW WELL HAVE CPA(R):14'S INVESTMENTS DONE SO FAR?

A:  As of the date of this prospectus, we have purchased 29 properties. These
    purchases were made between June 1998 and March 2000. To date, all scheduled
    rent payments have been received. Carey Property Advisors, our manager, and
    its affiliates have been managing entities like CPA(R):14 since 1979. The
    performance of these entities is fully described in this prospectus and its
    appendices.

Q:  WHAT IS THE EXPERIENCE OF CPA(R):14'S OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS?

A:  Our management team has extensive previous experience investing in real
    estate and triple net leases. Our directors and investment committee members
    are listed below.

     Directors

      --  William P. Carey -- founded W. P. Carey & Co., Inc. in 1973 and has
          been involved in net leasing since 1959.

      --  George E. Stoddard -- formerly responsible for direct corporate
          investment at The Equitable Life Assurance Society.

      --  William Ruder -- principal in a public relations firm since 1948.

      --  Charles C. Townsend -- former Chairman of Morgan Stanley Realty
          Corporation

      --  Warren G. Wintrub -- former partner at Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., now
          PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

      --  Thomas E. Zacharias -- a Senior Vice President with Lend Lease
          Development U.S.

     Investment Committee

          In addition to Mr. Stoddard, who serves as Chairman, the following
     individuals serve on the investment committee of Carey Property Advisors:

      --  Frank J. Hoenemeyer -- formerly Vice Chairman, Director and Chief
          Investment Officer of Prudential Insurance Company of America

      --  Nathaniel S. Coolidge -- formerly Senior Vice President -- Head of
          Bond Corporate Finance Department of the John Hancock Mutual Life
          Insurance Company.

      --  Dr. Lawrence R. Klein -- won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1980.

Q:  HOW WILL YOU CHOOSE WHICH INVESTMENTS TO MAKE?

A:  Carey Property Advisors is our advisor and generally has the authority to
    make all of our investment decisions. Carey Property Advisors' investment
    committee must approve all acquisitions. Members of the investment committee
    have over 150 years of combined experience in evaluating credit, an
    important element in a long-term net lease transaction.

Q:  IS CAREY PROPERTY ADVISORS INDEPENDENT OF CPA(R):14?

A:  No. Some of our officers and directors are officers and directors of Carey
    Property Advisors. The conflicts of interest CPA(R):14 and Carey Property
    Advisors face are discussed under the heading "Conflicts of Interest" later
    in this prospectus.

Q:  IF I BUY SHARES, WILL I RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS AND HOW OFTEN?

A:  We have made and intend to continue to make quarterly distributions to our
    shareholders. The amount of each distribution is determined by the board of
    directors and typically depends on the amount of distributable funds,
    current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other
    factors. However, in order to remain qualified as a REIT, we must make
    distributions of at least 95% of our REIT taxable income each year.

                                        6
<PAGE>   7

     Historically, we have paid cash distributions every quarter since our
     operations commenced. Our quarterly distribution in March, 2000 was $.1638
     per share.

Q:  ARE DISTRIBUTIONS I RECEIVE TAXABLE?

A:  Yes. Generally, distributions that you receive will be considered ordinary
    income to the extent they are from current and accumulated earnings and
    profits. In addition, because depreciation expense reduces taxable income
    but does not reduce cash available for distribution, we expect a portion of
    your distributions will be considered a return of capital for tax purposes.
    These amounts will not be subject to tax immediately but will instead reduce
    the tax basis of your investment. This in effect defers a portion of your
    tax until your investment is sold or CPA(R):14 is liquidated, at which time
    you will be taxed at the capital gains rate. However, because each
    investor's tax considerations are different, we suggest you consult with
    your tax advisor. You should also review the section of the prospectus
    entitled "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations."

Q:  WILL I BE NOTIFIED ABOUT HOW MY INVESTMENT IS DOING?

A:  You will receive periodic updates on the performance of your investment in
    CPA(R):14, including:

      --  Four quarterly distribution reports

      --  Three quarterly financial reports

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     This summary highlights some information from this prospectus. It may not
include all of the information that is important to you. To understand this
offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the
risk factors and the financial statements.

CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 14 INCORPORATED

     Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated is a REIT that owns net
leased industrial and commercial property. We own 29 properties in 17 states
leased to 21 tenants. Our office is at 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY. Our
phone number is (212) 492-1100. We refer to Corporate Property Associates 14
Incorporated as CPA(R):14 in this prospectus.

THE ADVISOR

     Carey Property Advisors L.P. is our advisor. They are responsible for
managing CPA(R):14 on a day-to-day basis. They are also responsible for
identifying and making acquisitions on our behalf. Carey Property Advisors L.P.
is referred to as Carey Property Advisors in this prospectus.

OUR REIT STATUS

     As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income
that we distribute to our shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs
are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a
requirement that they distribute at least 95% of their taxable income, as
calculated on an annual basis. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in
any year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may not be
able to qualify for treatment as a REIT for that year and the next four years.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject
to federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal
income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

OUR MANAGEMENT

     We have retained Carey Property Advisors to provide us with management,
acquisition, advisory and administrative services. The six members of our board
of directors oversee the management of CPA(R):14. Four of the directors are
independent of Carey Property Advisors and have responsibility for reviewing its
performance. The directors are elected annually by the shareholders.

     All investment decisions made by Carey Property Advisors must be approved
unanimously by Carey Property Advisors' investment committee. The following
people serve on the investment committee:

      --  George E. Stoddard, Chairman, was formerly responsible for the $33
          billion in direct corporate investments of The Equitable Life
          Assurance Society of the United States;

      --  Frank J. Hoenemeyer, Vice Chairman, was formerly Vice-Chairman,
          Director and Chief Investment Officer of the Prudential Insurance
          Company of America and had responsibility for Prudential's $100
          billion investment portfolio;

      --  Nathaniel S. Coolidge was Senior Vice President -- head of Bond and
          Corporate Finance Department of the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
          Company where his responsibilities included overseeing $21 billion of
          fixed income investments;

      --  Dr. Lawrence R. Klein, won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1980 and is
          Benjamin Franklin Professor Emeritus at the University of
          Pennsylvania.

                                        8
<PAGE>   9

     All of the officers and directors of Carey Property Advisors also are
officers or directors of CPA(R):14. Carey Property Advisors has responsibility
for all aspects of the operations of CPA(R):14 including:

      --  selecting the properties that we will acquire, formulating and
          evaluating the terms of each proposed acquisition, and arranging for
          the acquisition of the property by CPA(R):14, subject to the approval
          of the investment committee;

      --  negotiating the terms of any borrowing by CPA(R):14, including lines
          of credit and any long-term, permanent financing;

      --  managing the day-to-day operations of CPA(R):14 including accounting,
          property management and investor relations; and

      --  arranging for and negotiating the sale of assets.

     See the "Management" section of this prospectus for a description of the
business background of the individuals responsible for the management of
CPA(R):14 and Carey Property Advisors, as well as for a description of the
services Carey Property Advisors will provide.

RISK FACTORS

     AN INVESTMENT IN CPA(R):14 HAS MANY RISKS. THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION OF
THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RISKS.
PLEASE REFER TO THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION FOR A MORE DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE
RISKS SUMMARIZED BELOW:

      --  There is currently no public trading market for the shares, and there
          is no assurance that one will develop.

      --  You will not have the opportunity to evaluate all of the properties
          that will be in our portfolio.

      --  We rely on Carey Property Advisors with respect to all investment
          decisions.

      --  Carey Property Advisors and its affiliates are or will be engaged in
          other activities that will result in potential conflicts of interest
          with the services that Carey Property Advisors and affiliates will
          provide to us.

      --  Market and economic conditions that we cannot control will affect the
          value of our investments.

      --  We may make investments that will not appreciate in value over time.

      --  If our tenants default, we will have less income with which to make
          distributions.

      --  If the shares are not listed or intended to be listed on a national
          securities exchange or over-the-counter market within eight years of
          the investment of all of the money raised in this offering, we will
          sell our assets and distribute the proceeds, market conditions
          permitting.

      --  In connection with any borrowing, we will likely mortgage or pledge a
          specific asset, which would put us at risk of losing that asset if we
          are unable to pay that debt.

      --  In order to maintain our status as a REIT, we may incur debt to make
          distributions to shareholders.

      --  The vote of shareholders owning at least a majority but less than all
          of the shares of common stock will bind all of the shareholders as to
          matters like the election of directors and amendment of CPA(R):14's
          governing documents.

      --  Restrictions on ownership of more than 9.8% of the shares of common
          stock by any single shareholder or some related shareholders may have
          the effect of inhibiting a change in control of CPA(R):14, even if a
          change in control is in the interest of a majority of the
          shareholders.

                                        9
<PAGE>   10

      --  We may not remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,
          which would subject us to federal income tax on our taxable income at
          regular corporate rates, thereby reducing the amount of funds
          available for paying distributions to shareholders.

      --  Our inability to find suitable investments may impact our ability to
          achieve our investment objectives and may effect the amount of
          distributions to shareholders.

OUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

     Our primary investment objectives are:

      --  to pay quarterly distributions at an increasing rate that, for taxable
          shareholders, may be partially free from current taxation;

      --  to invest in a portfolio of real estate that will increase in value;

      --  to increase our equity in real estate by making regular mortgage
          principal payments;

      --  to provide you with liquidity for your investment, within eight years
          after the proceeds of this offering are fully invested, either through
          listing our shares on a national securities exchange or
          over-the-counter market or if listing does not occur within eight
          years after the proceeds of this offering are fully invested, selling
          our assets and distributing the proceeds, market conditions
          permitting.

     See the "Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies" sections of this
prospectus for a more complete description of our business and objectives.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

     Some of our officers and directors, who are also officers or directors of
Carey Property Advisors, may experience conflicts of interest in their
management of CPA(R):14. These arise principally from their involvement in other
activities that may conflict with our business and interests, including matters
related to

      --  allocation of new investments and management time and services between
          us and various other clients of Carey Property Advisors;

      --  the timing and terms of the investment in or sale of an asset;

      --  investments with affiliates of Carey Property Advisors;

      --  compensation to Carey Property Advisors;

      --  our relationship with the managing dealer, Carey Financial
          Corporation, which is an affiliate of CPA(R):14 and Carey Property
          Advisors; and

      --  the fact that our securities and tax counsel also serves as securities
          and tax counsel for some of our affiliates, which means neither
          CPA(R):14 nor the shareholders will have separate counsel.

The "Conflicts of Interest" section discusses in more detail the more
significant of these potential conflicts of interest, as well as the procedures
that have been established to resolve a number of these potential conflicts.

OUR AFFILIATES

     The "Prior Offerings by Affiliates" section of this prospectus contains a
narrative discussion of the public and private real estate programs sponsored by
our affiliates and affiliates of Carey Property Advisors in the past, including
nine public limited partnerships and three unlisted public REITs. As of December
31, 1999, these entities, which invest in industrial and commercial properties
that are leased on a "triple-net" basis had purchased 473 properties.
Statistical data relating to the public limited partnerships and the unlisted
REITs are contained in Appendix A -- Prior Performance Tables.

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

     CPA(R):14 will pay Carey Property Advisors and its affiliated companies
fees for its services and will reimburse Carey Property Advisors for some
expenses. Outlined below are the most significant items of compensation.

      --  For identifying, structuring and arranging the financing for real
          estate acquisitions, Carey Property Advisors will be paid acquisition
          fees not to exceed 2.5% of the total purchase price of all properties
          purchased by us. Carey Property Advisors will also be paid a
          subordinated acquisition fee which, when aggregated with all other
          subordinated acquisition fees, will not exceed 2.0% of the total
          purchase price of all properties purchased by us. This subordinated
          acquisition fee will accrue but will be withheld for any quarter
          through which the return paid to shareholders is less than 6%.

      --  Carey Property Advisors will be paid a monthly asset management fee at
          the annual rate of 0.5% of the total amount invested by us in real
          estate. Carey Property Advisors will also be paid quarterly a
          subordinated fee at the annual rate of 0.5% of the total amount we
          invest in real estate. This fee will accrue but will not be paid in
          any quarter through which we have not achieved a cumulative rate of
          cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles) of at least 7% per year through that
          quarter. Carey Property Advisors has the option to be paid this
          performance fee in cash or restricted stock of CPA(R):14.

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

      --  Carey Property Advisors will be paid 15% of any appreciation in the
          value of the real estate when we sell a property. This fee will be
          paid only after we have returned all of the money invested by
          shareholders plus a cumulative non-compounded return of 6% per year.

     There are many additional conditions and restrictions on the payment of
fees to Carey Property Advisors. There are also a number of other smaller items
of compensation and expense reimbursement that Carey Property Advisors and its
affiliates may receive during the life of CPA(R):14. For a more complete
explanation of the fees and expenses and an estimate of the dollar amount of
these payments, please see the "Management Compensation" section of this
prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

     Please refer to the "Description of Properties" section of this prospectus
for a description of the properties we have purchased as of the date of this
prospectus. Carey Property Advisors is evaluating additional potential property
acquisitions. When it appears likely that we will purchase one or more
additional properties, a description of those properties will be made available
to all potential investors in a document called a supplement. Investors should
not assume that transactions described in a supplement will necessarily be
completed. It is possible that after the supplement is distributed, we or the
seller will decide not to complete the sale.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

     The section of this prospectus entitled "ERISA Considerations" describes
the effect the purchase of shares will have on retirement plans and individual
retirement accounts ("IRAs") subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and/or the Internal Revenue Code. ERISA is a
federal law that regulates the operation of certain tax-advantaged retirement
plans. Any retirement plan trustee or individual considering purchasing shares
for a retirement plan or IRA should read this section very carefully.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

  General

     We will not issue stock certificates. A shareholder's investment will be
recorded on our books. If you wish to sell your shares, you will be required to
send only an executed transfer form to us. We will provide the required form
upon request.

  Shareholder Voting Rights and Limitations

     Shareholders will meet each year for the election of directors. Other
business matters may be presented at the annual meeting or at special
shareholder meetings. You are entitled to one vote for each share you own. All
shareholders will be bound by the decision of the majority of shareholders on
each question voted upon.

  Limitation on Share Ownership

     The articles of incorporation of CPA(R):14 restrict ownership by one person
of more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares. See "Description of
Shares -- Restriction on Ownership of Shares." These restrictions are designed
to enable us to comply with share accumulation restrictions imposed on REITs by
the Internal Revenue Code.

     For a more complete description of the shares, including limitations on the
ownership of shares, please refer to the "Description of Shares" section of this
prospectus.

<PAGE>   13

                                  RISK FACTORS

     BEFORE YOU INVEST IN OUR SECURITIES, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE
VARIOUS RISKS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER CAREFULLY
THESE RISK FACTORS TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE OUR SECURITIES.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO GENERAL REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP RISKS.

     Our properties consist predominantly of net leased industrial and
commercial properties located in the United States. An investment in CPA(R):14
is subject to risks incident to the ownership and operation of these types of
properties, including:

      --  changes in the general economic climate;

      --  changes in local conditions such as an oversupply of space or
          reduction in demand for real estate;

      --  changes in interest rates and the availability of financing;

      --  competition from other available space; and

      --  changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those
          governing real estate usage, zoning and taxes.

WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING OR RE-LEASING OUR PROPERTIES.

     Real estate investments are relatively illiquid compared to most financial
assets and this illiquidity will limit our ability to quickly change our
portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Many of the
net leases we enter into or acquire are for properties that are specially suited
to the particular needs of our tenant. With these properties, if the current
lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be required to renovate the property
or to make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant. In
addition, in the event we are forced to sell the property, we may have
difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant due to the special
purpose for which the property may have been designed. In addition, provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code relating to REITs limit our ability to sell
properties held for fewer than four years. These and other limitations may
affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to our
shareholders.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON TENANTS FOR OUR REVENUE.

     Most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant and, therefore, the
success of our investments are materially dependant on the financial stability
of our tenants. Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the
amount of distributions to shareholders. A default of a tenant on its lease
payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue from the property and cause us
to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet the mortgage payment
and prevent a foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage. In the event
of a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and
may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and reletting our
property. If a lease is terminated, there is no assurance that we will be able
to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property
without incurring a loss.

THE BANKRUPTCY OF TENANTS WOULD CAUSE A REDUCTION IN REVENUE.

     A tenant in bankruptcy could cause

      --  the loss of lease payments;

      --  an increase in the costs incurred to carry the property;

      --  a reduction in the value of shares; and

      --  a decrease in distributions to shareholders.
                                       13
<PAGE>   14

Under bankruptcy law, a tenant who is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings has
the option of continuing or terminating any unexpired lease. If the tenant
terminates the lease, any claim we have for breach of the lease (excluding
collateral securing the claim) will be treated as a general unsecured claim. The
maximum claim will be capped at the amount owed for unpaid rent prior to the
bankruptcy unrelated to the termination, plus the greater of one year's lease
payments or 15% of the remaining lease payments payable under the lease (but no
more than three years' lease payments). In addition, due to the long-term nature
of our leases and terms providing for the repurchase of a property by the
tenant, a bankruptcy court could recharacterize a net lease transaction as a
secured lending transaction. If that were to occur, we would not be treated as
the owner of the property, but might have additional rights as a secured
creditor.

     One of our tenants, Ameriserve, has filed for bankruptcy protection. Some
of the programs managed by Carey Property Advisors or its affiliates have had
tenants file for bankruptcy protection and are involved in litigation. Four
CPA(R) programs had to reduce the rate of distributions to their partners as a
result of adverse developments involving tenants. See "Prior Offerings by
Affiliates."

OUR TENANTS THAT ARE HIGHLY LEVERAGED MAY BE UNABLE TO PAY RENT.

     A tenant that has been recently restructured may be unable to pay its rent
if there are adverse changes to their business or economic conditions. We
anticipate providing financing to companies involved in acquisitions,
recapitalizations or other financial restructurings through the use of a sale
leaseback transaction. Often the tenant in this type of transaction will have
substantially greater debt and substantially lower net worth than it had prior
to the transaction. In addition, the payment of rent and debt service may reduce
the working capital available to it and prevent it from devoting the resources
necessary to keep itself competitive in its industry. Furthermore, in situations
where management of the tenant will change after the transaction, it may be
difficult for Carey Property Advisors to determine the likelihood of the
tenant's business success and of it being able to pay rents throughout the term
of a lease with us. These companies are more vulnerable to adverse conditions in
their business or industry, economic conditions generally and increases in
interest rates.

IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SELL SHARES.

     There is no current public market for the shares and, therefore, it will be
difficult for shareholders to sell their shares promptly. In addition, the price
received for any shares sold is likely to be less than the proportionate value
of the real estate we own. The shares should be purchased as a long-term
investment only. See "Redemption of Shares" for a description of our share
redemption program.

OUR SUCCESS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CAREY PROPERTY ADVISORS.

     Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions
is dependent upon the performance of Carey Property Advisors in the acquisition
of investments, the selection of tenants and the determination of any financing
arrangements. Except for the investments described in this prospectus, you will
have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or
financial data concerning our investments. You must rely entirely on the
management ability of Carey Property Advisors and the oversight of the board of
directors.

CAREY PROPERTY ADVISORS MAY BE SUBJECT TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

     Carey Property Advisors manages our business and selects our real estate
investments. Carey Property Advisors has some conflicts of interest in its
management of CPA(R):14 which arise primarily from the involvement of Carey
Property Advisors and its affiliates in other activities that may conflict with
CPA(R):14. The activities in which a conflict could arise between CPA(R):14 and
Carey Property Advisors are:

      --  the receipt of commissions, fees and other compensation by Carey
          Property Advisors and its affiliates for property purchases, leases,
          sales and financing for CPA(R):14,
                                       14
<PAGE>   15

      --  non-arms length agreements between CPA(R):14 and Carey Property
          Advisors or any of its affiliates, and

      --  purchases and loans from affiliates, subject to CPA(R):14's investment
          procedures, objectives and policies.

Inherent in these transactions is the conflict of interest that arises due to
the potential impact of the transaction on the amount of fees received by Carey
Property Advisors and/or its affiliates and the distributions to shareholders.

LIABILITY FOR UNINSURED LOSSES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

     We generally require our tenants to carry comprehensive liability, fire,
flood and extended coverage insurance with respect to our properties with policy
specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties.
There are, however, types of losses from disaster-type occurrences (such as wars
or earthquakes) that may be either uninsurable or not insurable on economically
viable terms. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose our capital
investment and/or anticipated profits and cash flow from one or more properties.

POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
FINANCIAL CONDITION.

     We own industrial and commercial properties and are subject to the risk of
liabilities under federal, state and local environmental laws. Some of these
laws could impose the following on CPA(R):14:

      --  Responsibility and liability for the cost of removal or remediation of
          hazardous substances released on our property, generally without
          regard to our knowledge or responsibility of the presence of the
          contaminants.

      --  Liability for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous
          substances at disposal facilities for persons who arrange for the
          disposal or treatment of these substances.

      --  Potential liability for common law clams by third parties based on
          damages and costs of environmental contaminants.

     We generally include provisions in our leases that provide that the tenant
is responsible for all environmental liabilities and for compliance with
environmental regulation, and must reimburse us for damages or costs for which
we have been found liable. However, these provisions do not eliminate our
statutory liability or preclude third party claims against us and, even if a we
had a cause of action against the tenant to enable us to recover any amounts we
pay, there are no assurances that we would be able to collect any money from the
tenant. Our costs of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous
substances may be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances
on one of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated
property, could adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or to
borrow using the property as collateral.

OUR USE OF DEBT TO FINANCE ACQUISITIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CASH FLOW.

  Increased Risk Of Insufficient Cash Flow

     Most of our property acquisitions will be made by borrowing a portion of
the purchase price and securing the loan with a mortgage on the property. If we
are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on
the property or properties securing its debt. This could cause us to lose part
or all of our investment which in turn could cause the value of the shares and
distributions to shareholders to be reduced. In addition, payments of principal
and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to
pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification
as a REIT.

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

  Financial Covenants Could Place Restrictions On Operations

     In connection with the making of a mortgage loan with respect to a
property, a lender could impose restrictions on us which affect our ability to
incur additional debt and our distribution and operating policies. The mortgages
on our properties contain customary negative covenants which may limit our
ability to further mortgage the property, to discontinue insurance coverage,
replace Carey Property Advisors as our advisor or impose other limitations.

  Balloon Payment Obligations May Adversely Affect our Financial Condition

     Some of our financing requires us to make a lump-sum or "balloon" payment
at maturity. We intend to finance more properties in this manner. Our ability to
make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability
to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time
the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon
payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a
price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or
sale could affect the rate of return to shareholders and the projected time of
disposition of our assets.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REIT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND ABILITY
TO MAKE DISTRIBUTIONS.

     If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we would be subject
to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we
would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable
years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would
reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to shareholders
because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to
shareholders would no longer qualify for the distributions paid deduction and we
would no longer be required to make distributions. We might be required to
borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.

     Qualification as a REIT is subject to the satisfaction of tax requirements
and various factual matters and circumstances which are not entirely within our
control. New legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court
decisions could change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or
the federal income tax consequences of being a REIT.

A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF SHARES A PERSON MAY OWN MAY DISCOURAGE A TAKEOVER.

     Our articles of incorporation restrict ownership of more than 9.8% of the
outstanding shares by one person. These restrictions may discourage a change of
control of CPA(R):14 and may deter individuals or entities from making tender
offers for shares, which offers might be financially attractive to shareholders
or which may cause a change in the management of CPA(R):14. See "Description of
Shares -- Restriction on Ownership of Shares."

MARYLAND LAW COULD RESTRICT CHANGE IN CONTROL.

     Provisions of Maryland law applicable to us prohibit business combinations
with:

      --  any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of
          outstanding shares;

      --  an affiliate of us who, at any time within the two-year period prior
          to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of
          the voting power of our outstanding shares ("an interested
          shareholder"); or

      --  an affiliate of an interested shareholder.

     These prohibitions last for five years after the most recent date on which
the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any
business combination must be recommended by our board of directors and approved
by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by
holders of our outstanding shares and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be
cast by holders of our
                                       16
<PAGE>   17

shares other than shares held by the interested shareholder. These requirements
could have the effect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in
control were in shareholders' interest. These provisions of Maryland law do not
apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by our
board of directors prior to the time that someone becomes an interested
shareholder.

OUR PARTICIPATION IN JOINT VENTURES CREATES ADDITIONAL RISK.

     We participate in joint ventures with other entities, some of which may be
unaffiliated with us. There are additional risks involved in these types of
transactions. These risks include the potential of our joint venture partner
becoming bankrupt and the possibility of diverging or inconsistent economic or
business interests of us and our partner which could result in, among other
things, subjecting us to liabilities in excess of those contemplated under the
joint venture agreement and/or exposing us to liabilities of the joint venture
in excess of our proportionate share of these liabilities.

     In some of our joint venture relationships with publicly registered
investment programs or other entities sponsored by Carey Property Advisors or
one of its affiliate, we enter into investments as tenants-in-common. This poses
risks in addition to those mentioned above. The partition rights of each
co-tenant in a tenancy-in-common could reduce the value of each portion of the
divided property. In addition, the fiduciary obligation that Carey Property
Advisors or our board may owe to our partner in an affiliated transaction may
make it more difficult for us to enforce our rights.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR PENSION OR PROFIT-SHARING TRUSTS, KEOGHS OR IRAS.

     If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit sharing, 401(k), Keogh
or other retirement plan, IRA or benefit plan in CPA(R):14, you should consider:

      --  whether your investment is consistent with the applicable provisions
          of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code;

      --  whether your investment will produce unrelated business taxable income
          to the benefit plan; and

      --  your need to value the assets of the benefit plan annually.

     We have obtained an opinion of Reed Smith Shaw & McClay LLP that, under
current ERISA law and regulations, our assets should not be treated as "plan
assets" of a benefit plan subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code which purchases shares. However, the opinion of Reed Smith is based
on the facts and assumptions described in this prospectus, on our articles of
incorporation and on our representations to them, and is not binding on the
Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor. If our assets were
considered to be plan assets, our assets would be subject to ERISA and/or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, and some of the transactions we have
entered into with Carey Property Advisors and its affiliates could be considered
"prohibited transactions" which could cause us, Carey Property Advisors and its
affiliates to be subject to liabilities and excise taxes. In addition, Carey
Property Advisors could be deemed to be a fiduciary under ERISA and subject to
other conditions, restrictions and prohibitions under ERISA. Even if our assets
are not considered to be plan assets, a prohibited transaction could occur if
we, Carey Financial, any selected dealer, the escrow agent or any of their
affiliates is a fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA) with respect to a
purchase by a benefit plan and, therefore, unless an administrative or statutory
exemption applies in the event such persons are fiduciaries (within the meaning
of ERISA) with respect to your purchase, shares should not be purchased.

                                       17

INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTS INVOLVE ADDITIONAL RISKS.

     We may purchase property located outside the United States. These
investments may be affected by factors peculiar to the laws of the jurisdiction
in which the property is located. These laws may include

      --  land use and zoning laws;

      --  environmental laws; and

      --  laws relating to the foreign ownership of property and laws relating
          to the ability of foreign persons or corporations to remove profits
          earned from activities within the country to the person's or
          corporation's country of origin.

These laws may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to
those commonly found in the United States. In addition, these foreign
investments could be subject to the risks of adverse market conditions caused by
changes in national or local economic conditions, changes in interest rates and
in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds resulting from varying
national economic policies, changes in real estate and other tax rates and other
operating expenses in particular countries and changing governmental rules and
policies.

                             SUITABILITY STANDARDS

     The shares we are offering are suitable only as a long-term investment for
persons of adequate financial means. Initially, there is not expected to be any
public market for the shares, which means that it may be difficult to sell them.
You should not buy these shares if you need to sell them immediately or will
need to sell them quickly in the future.

     In consideration of these factors, we have established suitability
standards for initial shareholders and subsequent transferees. These suitability
standards require that a purchaser of shares have either

      --  a net worth of at least $150,000; or

      --  a gross annual income of at least $45,000 and a net worth of at least
          $45,000.

     For this purpose, net worth excludes the value of a purchaser's home,
furnishings and automobile.

     Arizona, North Carolina, Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri
have established suitability standards different from those we have established.
Shares will be sold only to investors in those states who meet the special
suitability standards set forth below.

     MAINE -- Investors must have either (i) a net worth of at least $200,000 or
(ii) gross annual income of $50,000 and a net worth of at least $50,000.

     MISSOURI -- Investors must have either (i) a net worth of at least $250,000
or (ii) gross annual income of $75,000 and a net worth of at least $75,000.

     ARIZONA AND NORTH CAROLINA -- Investors must have either (i) a minimum net
worth of at least $225,000 or (ii) gross annual income of $60,000 and a net
worth of at least $60,000.

     MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO -- In addition to our suitability
requirements, investors must have a net worth of at least ten times their
investment in CPA(R):14.

     In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, these suitability standards
must be met by the fiduciary account, by the person who directly or indirectly
supplied the funds for the purchase of the shares or by the beneficiary of the
account. These suitability standards are intended to help ensure that, given the
long-term nature of an investment in CPA(R):14, our investment objectives and
the relative illiquidity of the shares, a purchase of shares is an appropriate
investment for certain investors. Each selected dealer must make every
reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of shares is a suitable and
appropriate investment for each shareholder based on information provided by the
shareholder. Each selected dealer is required to maintain for six years records
of the information used to determine that an investment in the shares is
suitable and appropriate for a shareholder.

                           ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS

     The following table presents information about how the money raised in this
offering will be used. Information is provided assuming the maximum number of
shares are sold. Many of the numbers in the table are estimates because all
expenses cannot be determined precisely at this time. The actual use of the
capital we raise is likely to be different than the figures presented in the
table. We expect that approximately 86% of the money invested by shareholders
will be used to buy real estate, while the remaining 14% will be used for
working capital and to pay expenses and fees, including the payment of fees to
Carey Advisors and its affiliates.

- ---------------
(1) We will generally pay a selling commission of $0.60 per share sold. See "The
    Offering" for a description of volume discounts.

(2) "Other Organization and Offering Expenses" represent all expenses incurred
    in connection with our formation, qualification and registration of our
    shares and in marketing and distributing the shares under applicable federal
    and state law, and any other expenses actually incurred and directly related
    to the offering and sale of the shares, except selling commissions. The
    total underwriting compensation to be paid to Carey Financial and the
    selected dealers in connection with this offering, including selling
    commissions and expense reimbursements, cannot exceed 10% of the gross
    amount raised in the offering. However, an additional 0.5% of gross proceeds
    from sales made by Carey Financial and each selected dealer may be paid for
    bona fide due diligence expenses. To the extent all organization and
    offering expenses (excluding selling commissions, and any fees paid and
    expenses reimbursed to the selected dealers or paid on behalf of the
    selected dealers) exceed 4.0% of the amount raised in this offering, the
    excess will be paid by Carey Property Advisors with no recourse by
    CPA(R):14. See "Management Compensation." See "The Offering" for a complete
    description of the fees and expense reimbursements payable to Carey
    Financial and the selected dealers.

(3) Acquisition fees include all fees and commissions paid in connection with
    the purchase, development or construction of properties. Acquisition fees
    exclude any development fee or construction fee paid to a person who is not
    our affiliate in connection with the actual development and construction of
    a project after our acquisition of the land. For purposes of the table only,
    subordinated acquisition fees have not been included as part of "Acquisition
    Fees" because these fees will be paid from funds from operations of
    CPA(R):14 and not from the proceeds of the offering. The presentation in the
    table is based on the assumption that we will not borrow any money to
    purchase properties. Although it is assumed that all the foregoing fees will
    be paid by the sellers of property, sellers generally fix the selling price
    at a level sufficient to cover the cost of any acquisition fee so that, in
    effect, we, as purchaser, will bear such fee as part of the purchase price.

                                       19
<PAGE>   20

    We will not purchase any property that has a total property cost (generally,
    the sum of the costs of purchasing, developing, constructing and improving
    the property plus the acquisition fees paid in connection with the purchase)
    in excess of the property's appraised value. See "Management Compensation"
    for a complete description of the terms, conditions and limitations of the
    payment of fees to Carey Property Advisors and its affiliates.

(4) Subordinated acquisition fees, which are intended to be paid from our funds
    from operations and not from proceeds of this offering, have not been
    included in the table. Subordinated acquisition fees (excluding interest
    thereon), will not exceed 2% of the aggregate purchase price of the
    properties. Assuming we do not borrow money to purchase properties, the
    subordinated acquisition fees will not exceed $7,080,000 (1.77% of the
    offering proceeds), in the event 40,000,000 shares are sold. These fees with
    respect to any property are payable in equal amounts over an eight year
    period following the acquisition of a property, assuming a cumulative return
    of 6% has been paid. Other terms of the subordinated acquisition fees are
    described in the "Management Compensation" section of this prospectus.

(5) "Acquisition Expenses" represent an estimate of all expenses related to our
    selection and acquisition of properties, whether or not the properties are
    acquired. These fees include but are not limited to legal fees and expenses,
    travel and communications expenses, costs of appraisals, non-refundable
    option payments on property not acquired, accounting fees and expenses,
    title insurance and miscellaneous expenses. "Acquisition Expenses" do not
    include acquisition fees.

other payments that Carey Property Advisors and its affiliates will or may

                                    equal to 100% of their initial

                                    foregoing limitation, the unpaid

                                    of the property.

</TABLE>

- ---------------
(1) The total acquisition fees (not including subordinated acquisition fees)
    payable to Carey Property Advisors or paid by us may not exceed 2.5% of the
    aggregate property cost of all properties we purchase with the proceeds of
    this offering. The total of all acquisition fees (including subordinated
    acquisition fees and interest thereon) and acquisition expenses we pay must
    be reasonable and may not exceed 6% of the aggregate contract purchase price
    of all properties we purchase with the proceeds of this offering. A majority
    of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not
    otherwise interested in any transaction may approve fees in excess of these
    limits if they find the excess commercially competitive, fair and reasonable
    to us.
(2) Our objective is to achieve total borrowings of approximately 60% of the
    purchase price of all properties. The CPA(R) programs have had similar
    leverage goals but have achieved leverage of only approximately 55%. The
    actual leverage percentage we achieve will impact the amount of acquisition
    fees earned by Carey Property Advisors because these fees are based
    primarily on the total dollars invested in properties and the amount
    available for investment will be affected by the amount we borrow (i.e., the
    more that is borrowed, the more funds available for investment in
    properties). If 40,000,000 shares are sold and the properties are 75%
    leveraged, acquisition fees (not including subordinated acquisition fees)
    payable to Carey Property Advisors as a result of this offering (assuming an
    aggregate total property cost of all properties of approximately
    $1,416,000,000) are estimated to be approximately $35,400,000 and
    subordinated acquisition fees are estimated to be approximately $28,320,000.
    We do not expect our properties to be 75% leveraged. The advisory agreement
    between us and Carey Property Advisors provides that Carey Property Advisors
    will not earn acquisition fees or subordinated acquisition fees on the
    reinvestment of proceeds from the sale or refinancing of properties, unless
    the shares are listed or are expected to be listed.
(3) There are currently no specific arrangements for the provision of property
    management services to us by Carey Property Advisors. These services will be
    provided by Carey Property Advisors only if a property becomes vacant or
    requires more active management than contemplated at the time the property
    is acquired. However, if Carey Property Advisors deems these services to be
    necessary in order to preserve the value of the property, Carey Property
    Advisors with the approval of the board (including a majority of the
    independent directors), may provide these services. The maximum property
    management fee which may be paid to Carey Property Advisors is 6% of gross
    revenues from commercial properties (plus reimbursed expenses), where Carey
    Property Advisors performs property management and leasing, re-leasing and
    leasing related services, or 3% of gross revenues, where the entity provides
    only property management services. In the case of industrial and commercial
    properties which are leased for ten or more years on a triple net lease
    basis, the maximum property management fee is 1% of our gross revenues over
    the term of each lease plus a one-time leasing fee of 3% of the total base
    rents payable for the first five years of the lease term, payable in five
    equal annual installments. The property management fees paid to Carey
    Property
                                       27
<PAGE>   28

    Advisors may not exceed the usual and customary amounts charged for similar
    services in the same geographic region.

(4) If at any time the shares become listed on a national securities exchange or
    included for quotation on Nasdaq, we will negotiate in good faith with Carey
    Property Advisors a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual
    life. A majority of the independent directors must approve the new fee
    structure negotiated with Carey Property Advisors. In negotiating a new fee
    structure, the independent directors shall consider all of the factors they
    deem relevant, including but not limited to:

           --  the size of the advisory fee in relation to the size, composition
               and profitability of our portfolio;

           --  the success of Carey Property Advisors in generating
               opportunities that meet our investment objectives;

           --  the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than
               REITs by advisors performing similar services;

           --  additional revenues realized by Carey Property Advisors through
               their relationship with us;

           --  the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by Carey
               Property Advisors;

           --  the performance of our investment portfolio, including income,
               conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem
               investments and competence in dealing with distress situations;
               and

           --  the quality of our portfolio in relationship to the investments
               generated by Carey Property Advisors for the account of other
               clients.

     The board, including a majority of the independent directors, may not
     approve a new fee structure that is, in its judgment, more favorable to
     Carey Property Advisors than the current fee structure.

(5) Following our termination of the advisory agreement, Carey Property Advisors
    will be entitled to receive payment of any earned but unpaid compensation
    and expense reimbursements accrued as of the date of termination. If the
    advisory agreement is terminated

           --  in connection with our change of control,

           --  by us for any reason other than cause as defined in the advisory
               agreement, or

           --  by Carey Property Advisors for good reason as defined in the
               advisory agreement,

     Carey Property Advisors also shall be entitled to the payment of the
     termination fee and any subordinated acquisition fees that have not
     accrued. Carey Property Advisors shall be entitled to receive all accrued
     but unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements in cash within 30 days
     of the effective date of the termination. All other amounts payable to
     Carey Property Advisors in the event of a termination shall be evidenced by
     a promissory note. The termination fee shall be paid in 12 equal quarterly
     installments with interest on the unpaid balance. Notwithstanding the
     preceding sentence, any amounts which may be deemed payable at the date the
     obligation to pay the termination fee is incurred which relate to the
     appreciation of the properties

           --  shall be an amount which provides compensation to the terminated
               advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the
               respective properties during which the terminated advisor
               provided services to us,

           --  shall not be due and payable until the property to which the fees
               relate is sold or refinanced, and

           --  shall not bear interest until the property to which the fees
               relate is sold or refinanced.

     Carey Property Advisors shall not be entitled to payment of the termination
     fee in the event the advisory agreement is terminated because of the
     failure of us and Carey Property Advisors to establish a fee structure
     appropriate for a perpetual-life entity in the event the shares are listed
     on a national securities exchange or are included for quotation on Nasdaq.
     The termination fee is an

                                       28
<PAGE>   29

     amount equal to 15% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the appraised value
     of the properties on the date of termination of the advisory agreement,
     less the amount of all indebtedness secured by the properties, exceeds (ii)
     the total of the total capital invested in CPA(R):14 plus an amount equal
     to a cumulative return of 6% through the termination date reduced by the
     total distributions paid by us from our inception through the termination
     date.

(6) Carey Property Advisors may choose to take the performance fee in cash or
    restricted shares. For purposes of calculating the value per share of
    restricted stock given for payment of the performance fee, the price per
    share shall be (i) the net asset value per share as determined by the most
    recent appraisal performed by an independent third party or, if an appraisal
    has not yet been performed, (ii) $10 per share. The restricted stock will
    vest ratably over a period of five years and is non-transferable during this
    vesting period.

(7) In the event the shares are listed on a national securities exchange or
    included for quotation on Nasdaq, Carey Property Advisors shall be paid the
    subordinated incentive fee. The fee will vary based on the return received
    by shareholders. The return will be calculated by adding the total
    distributions paid by CPA(R):14 and the market value of CPA(R):14,
    calculated on the basis of the average market value of the shares over the
    30 trading days beginning 180 days after the shares are first listed on a
    stock exchange. This total will be divided by the sum of the total amount of
    capital raised by CPA(R):14 and the total cash flow necessary to generate a
    6% cumulative return as of the date the return is calculated. This return is
    referred to as the "Hypothetical Return" in the following table. The fee is
    paid on the excess of the actual return over the Hypothetical Return. The
    subordinated incentive fee will be paid as follows:

</TABLE>

     CPA(R):14 has the option to pay the fee in the form of stock, cash, a
     promissory note or any combination thereof. In the event the subordinated
     incentive fee is paid to Carey Property Advisors as a result of the listing
     of the shares, no termination fee will be paid to Carey Property Advisors
     if the advisory agreement is terminated after the listing.

                             CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

     There will be various conflicts of interest in the operation of our
business. The independent directors will have an obligation to function on our
behalf in all situations in which a conflict of interest may arise and will have
a fiduciary obligation to act on behalf of the shareholders. Possible conflicts
of interest include the following:

RECEIPT OF COMMISSIONS, FEES AND OTHER COMPENSATION BY CAREY PROPERTY ADVISORS
AND ITS AFFILIATES.

     A transaction involving the purchase, financing, lease and sale of any
property by CPA(R):14 may result in the immediate realization by Carey Property
Advisors and its affiliates of substantial commissions, fees, compensation and
other income. In most cases, Carey Property Advisors has discretion with respect
to all decisions relating to any such transaction. Potential conflicts may arise
in connection with a decision by Carey Property Advisors (on our behalf) of
whether to hold or sell a property. This decision could impact the timing and
amount of fees payable to Carey Property Advisors. We may purchase, sell or
finance properties through affiliates of Carey Property Advisors engaged in the
real estate brokerage business or through our other affiliates.

NON-ARM'S-LENGTH AGREEMENTS.

     Except as otherwise provided below, all agreements and arrangements,
including those relating to compensation, between us and Carey Property Advisors
or any of its affiliates will not be the result of arm's-length negotiations.
Certain provisions of our bylaws require that compensation to Carey Property
Advisors and its affiliates be approved by a majority of the independent
directors and that terms of future transactions with affiliates be no less
favorable to us than terms which could be obtained from unaffiliated entities
providing similar services as an ongoing activity in the same geographical
location. The initial independent directors were selected by the sponsor and
have subsequently been reelected by the shareholders.

PURCHASES AND LOANS FROM AFFILIATES.

     We may purchase properties from affiliates of Carey Property Advisors if
the purchase is consistent with the investment procedures, our objectives and
policies and if other conditions are met. See "Investment Procedures, Objectives
and Policies." We also may borrow funds from Carey Property Advisors or its
affiliates

      --  if, at any time when proceeds of this offering are being held by the
          escrow agent, we do not have sufficient funds to provide the equity
          portion of a particular investment, or

      --  to provide the debt portion of a particular investment if we are
          unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or, in the judgment of
          the board, it is not in our best interest to obtain a permanent loan
          at the interest rates then prevailing and the board has reason to
          believe that we will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to
          the end of the loan term provided by Carey Property Advisors or the
          affiliate.

     See "Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies." We may borrow funds
on a short-term basis from Carey Property Advisors or its affiliates.

     We may not invest in other REITs advised or managed, directly or through
affiliates, by the sponsor, its subsidiaries or William P. Carey and with
respect to which the sponsor, its subsidiaries or William P. Carey receive
separate fees. Additionally, we will not sell properties to the sponsor, Carey
Property Advisors or any director or any of their respective affiliates, except
in the case of an exercise of a right of first refusal by an affiliated joint
venture partner.

     Every transaction entered into between us and Carey Property Advisors or
its affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. The board may
encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights

                                       30
<PAGE>   31

against any affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with an
affiliate or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement
between us and any affiliates. Each transaction between us and Carey Property
Advisors or any of its affiliates must be approved by a majority of the
independent directors who are otherwise disinterested in the transaction as
being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable to
us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

COMPETITION WITH CPA(R):14 FROM AFFILIATES OF CAREY PROPERTY ADVISORS IN THE
PURCHASE, SALE, LEASE AND OPERATION OF PROPERTIES.

     W.P. Carey & Co., Inc. specializes in providing lease financing services to
major corporations and, therefore, may be in competition with us with respect to
properties, potential purchasers, sellers and lessees of properties, and
mortgage financing for properties. W.P. Carey & Co., Inc., its subsidiaries and
William P. Carey currently manage or advise private real estate investment
partnerships, REITs and limited liability companies whose investment and rate of
return objectives are substantially similar to ours. In addition, they expect to
manage or advise, directly or through affiliates, additional REITs, public and
private investment partnerships and other investment entities.

     The CPA(R) programs have investment policies similar to ours and,
therefore, may be in competition with us for properties, potential purchasers,
sellers and lessees of properties, and mortgage financing for properties.
Affiliates of Carey Property Advisors intend to offer interests in other REITs,
partnerships or public or private investment entities, some of which may have
similar investment objectives as ours and may be in a position to acquire
properties at the same time as us. Affiliates of Carey Property Advisors may
have an ownership interest in the other REIT.

     Carey Property Advisors will use its best efforts to present suitable
investments to us consistent with our investment procedures, objectives and
policies. If Carey Property Advisors or any of its affiliates is presented with
a potential investment in a property which might be made by more than one
investment entity which it advises or manages, the decision as to the
suitability of the property for investment by a particular entity will be based
upon a review of the investment portfolio of each entity and upon factors such
as:

      --  cash flow from the property;

      --  the effect of the acquisition of the property on the diversification
          of each entity's portfolio;

      --  rental payments during any renewal period;

      --  the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity;

      --  the amount of equity required to make the investment;

      --  the policies of each entity relating to leverage;

      --  the funds of each entity available for investment; and

      --  the length of time the funds have been available for investment and
          the manner in which the potential investment can be structured by each
          entity.

     Consideration will be given to joint ownership (e.g., tenancy-in-common or
joint venture arrangement) of a particular property determined to be suitable
for more than one investment entity in order to achieve diversification of each
entity's portfolio and efficient completion of an entity's portfolio. In joint
ownership, the investment of each entity will be on substantially similar terms
and conditions, compensation to the organizer of each investment entity will be
similar and each investment entity will have a right of first refusal to
purchase the interest of the other if a sale of that interest is contemplated.
See "Risk Factors -- Our Participation in Joint Ventures Creates Additional
Risks." To the extent that a particular property might be determined to be
suitable for more than one investment entity, priority generally will be given
to the investment entity having uninvested funds for the longest period of time.
It is the responsibility of the directors (including the independent directors)
to insure that the method used to allocate transactions is applied fairly to us.

ADJACENT PROPERTIES.

     If Carey Property Advisors or any of its affiliates acquires properties
that are adjacent to one of our properties, the value of such properties may be
enhanced by our interests. It also is possible that these properties could be in
competition with our properties for prospective tenants.

COMPETITION FROM AFFILIATES OF CAREY PROPERTY ADVISORS FOR THE TIME AND SERVICES
OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

     We depend on the board and Carey Property Advisors for our operations and
for the acquisition, operation and disposition of our investments. Carey

Diversified LLC is an affiliate of Carey Property Advisors. Carey Property
Advisors serves in the same advisory capacity for Corporate Property Associates
10 Incorporated (or "CPA(R):10"), Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated
(or "CPA(R):12") Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated (or "CIP(R)") as it
does for CPA(R):14. Carey Fiduciary Advisors, Carey Property Advisors and their
affiliates will devote the time to our affairs as they, within their sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, determine to be necessary for our benefit
and the shareholders. See "Management." Neither Carey Financial, Carey Property
Advisors nor any of their affiliates are restricted from acting as general
partner, advisor, underwriter, selling agent or broker-dealer in public or
private offerings of securities in REITs, real estate partnerships or other
entities which may have objectives similar to ours and which are sponsored by
affiliated or non-affiliated persons.

AFFILIATED SALES AGENT.

     Carey Financial, a subsidiary of W.P. Carey & Co. and an affiliate of Carey
Property Advisors, will receive a selling commission for each share sold by it
(except for sales made to Carey Property Advisors, its employees or its
affiliates) and annual servicing fees with respect to shares held by its
clients, and will receive reimbursement for specified expenses. See "The
Offering."

                            REGIONAL DIVERSIFICATION

                   [MAP INDICATING REGIONAL DIVERSIFICATION]

     When acquired by the CPA(R) programs, approximately 22% of the properties
had newly constructed buildings or buildings being constructed and approximately
78% had previously constructed buildings (based on the purchase price). When
purchased by the CPA(R) programs, all of the properties were single-tenant
commercial, industrial and governmental real property (or interests therein).
The CPA(R) programs have made no loans or participating loans and have entered
into 30 joint ventures with affiliated programs (23% of all transactions entered
into by the CPA(R) programs). More detailed information with respect to
investments by the CPA(R) programs is separately presented in tabular form for
the CPA(R) programs in Exhibit 99 to Part II of the registration statement. Upon
written request to the Director of Investor Relations, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, NY,

More detailed information with respect to the properties sold by the CPA(R)
programs between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1999 is presented in tabular
form in Table V (Sales or Dispositions of Properties) in Exhibit A to this
prospectus.

     Some CPA(R) programs have experienced adverse business developments which
have included the filing by some tenants for protection from creditors under the
bankruptcy code, the vacating of facilities by a tenant at the end of an initial
lease term, and litigation with tenants involving lease defaults and sales of
properties. These developments have caused a reduction in cash flow and/or an
increase in administrative expenses of the affected CPA(R) program for certain
periods of time, but, with four exceptions, have not caused the affected CPA(R)
program to reduce their rate of distributions to partners. See Table III
(Operating Results of Prior Programs) in Exhibit A to this prospectus for
overall results of operations of the affected CPA(R) programs.

     The management of the affected CPA(R) program has undertaken a number of
measures to mitigate the adverse effects of some adverse business developments,
such as re-leasing properties vacated by initial tenants; refinancing mortgage
loans and restructuring terms of existing mortgage loans; restructuring lease
terms; selling properties; and, in the case of litigation, vigorously defending
the interests of affected CPA(R) programs and, where appropriate, settling
litigation. Of the approximately 150 tenants with which the CPA(R) programs have
entered into leases, 15 have subsequently sought protection from creditors in
bankruptcy. Properties formerly leased to nine of these tenants have been
re-leased or sold. Four other tenants have affirmed their leases and the leases
of the remaining two tenants are currently the subject of negotiations described
below.

     Most CPA(R) programs in which adverse developments have occurred have been
able to meet their obligations and maintain distributions to their investors,
primarily as a result of the efforts of management described above and below and
the existence of a working capital reserve established at the inception of each
CPA(R) program. Although several CPA(R) programs have experienced the types of
adverse business developments described above, only four CPA(R) Programs,
CPA(R):1, CPA(R):5, CPA(R):7 and CPA(R):10 have had to reduce the rate of
distributions to their partners or shareholders as a result of adverse
developments. The adverse developments which were primarily responsible for
causing these reductions in the rate of distributions are, in the case of
CPA(R):1, the bankruptcy filing by Storage Technology, in the case of CPA(R):5,
the sale of two properties, in the case of CPA(R):7, the bankruptcy filings of
Yellow Front Stores, Inc. and NV Ryan L.P. and in the case of CPA(R):10, the
expiration of one lease and the bankruptcy of Harvest Foods. The reductions in
distribution rates in each of CPA(R):1, CPA(R):5, CPA(R):7 and CPA(R):10 were
followed by increases in the distribution rates. The distribution rate of
CPA(R):7 exceeded the rate in effect before the reductions when it was merged
with Carey Diversified while the distribution rate of CPA(R):1 and CPA(R):5 had
not reached the rate in effect before the reduction at the time of the merger.

     Most of the adverse developments which have occurred have been resolved.
These include the filings for protection from creditors under the bankruptcy
code by approximately 15 tenants of the CPA(R) programs.

     The management of these programs has addressed these bankruptcies primarily
by re-leasing the properties to new tenants or by restructuring the original
leases at a reduced rental. Certain of the properties have been sold at a loss
or transferred in exchange for a release of the related mortgage debt.

     Additional information concerning the CPA(R) Programs is set forth in
tabular form in Exhibit A to this prospectus. See "Experience in Raising and
Investing Funds" in Table I; "Compensation to W. P. Carey & Co." in Table II;
"Operating Results of Prior Programs" in Table III; "Results of Completed
Programs" in Table IV and "Sales or Dispositions of Properties" in Table V. In
addition, upon written request to the Director of Investor Relations, 50
Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020, (800) 972-2739, CPA(R):14 will provide,
at no fee, the most recent annual report (on Form 10-K) filed by any of the
CPA(R) Programs and, at a reasonable fee, the exhibits to the annual report.

                                   MANAGEMENT

     We operate under the direction of the board, the members of which are
accountable to us and our shareholders as fiduciaries. A majority of the
independent directors and a majority of the directors have reviewed and ratified
the articles of incorporation and have adopted the bylaws. The board is
responsible for the management and control of our affairs. The board has
retained Carey Property Advisors to manage our day-to-day affairs and the
acquisition and disposition of investments, subject to the board's supervision.
We currently have six directors; we must have at least three and may have no
more than nine directors.

     A majority of the board must be comprised of independent directors, except
for a period of 90 days after the death, removal or resignation of an
independent director. An independent director may not, directly or indirectly
(including through a member of his immediate family), own any interest in, be
employed by, have any material business or professional relationship with, or
serve as an officer or director of, W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors
or any of their affiliates, except that an independent director may serve as a
director, officer or trustee for not more than two other REITs organized by W.
P. Carey & Co. or advised by Carey Property Advisors. An independent director
may not perform material services for CPA(R):14, except to carry out the
responsibilities of director. Two of the directors are affiliates of Carey
Property Advisors and four are independent directors. An independent director is
a director who is not and has not for the last two years been associated with W.
P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors or any of its affiliates other than up
to two other public REITs sponsored by W. P. Carey & Co. All of the initial
directors were recommended by W. P. Carey & Co.

     Proposed transactions brought to the board for approval are often discussed
before being brought to a final board vote. During these discussions,
independent directors often offer ideas for ways in which deals can be changed
to make them acceptable and these suggestions are taken into consideration when
structuring transactions. No independent director of any prior CPA(R) program
has ever voted against a property acquisition recommendation on a final vote.
Each director will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or
until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. Although the number of
directors may be increased or decreased, a decrease shall not have the effect of
shortening the term of any incumbent director.

     Any director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without
cause by the shareholders upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of
all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting called for the purpose of the
proposed removal. The notice of the meeting shall indicate that the purpose, or
one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director shall be
removed. The term "cause" as used in this context is a term used in the Maryland
Corporation and Association Code. This code does not include a definition of
this term and Maryland case law suggests that the term be defined on a case-
by-case basis. The effect of the Maryland Code's lack of a definition of cause
is that we cannot provide investors with a definition for "cause." As a result
of this uncertainty, investors may not know what actions by a director may be
grounds for removal.

     Unless filled by a vote of the shareholders as permitted by Maryland law, a
vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors or the death,
resignation, removal, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director
shall be filled by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors and,

      --  in the case of a director who is not an independent director (an
          "affiliated director"), by a vote of a majority of the remaining
          affiliated directors, or

      --  in the case of an independent director, by a vote of a majority of the
          remaining independent directors

unless there are no remaining affiliated directors or independent directors, as
the case may be, to so fill a vacancy, in which case a majority vote of the
remaining directors shall be sufficient. If at any time there are no independent
or affiliated directors in office, successor directors shall be elected by the
shareholders. Each director will be bound by the articles of incorporation and
the bylaws.
                                       38
<PAGE>   39

     The directors are not required to devote all of their time to us and are
only required to devote the time to our affairs as their duties require. The
directors will meet quarterly or more frequently if necessary. It is not
expected that the directors will be required to devote a substantial portion of
their time to discharge their duties as directors. Consequently, in the exercise
of their fiduciary responsibilities, the directors will be relying heavily on
Carey Property Advisors. The board is empowered to fix the compensation of all
officers that it selects and may pay remuneration to directors for services
rendered to us in any other capacity. We pay to each independent director a
quarterly fee of $2,750 and a meeting fee of $1,000 per meeting. It is estimated
that the aggregate compensation payable to the independent directors as a group
for a full fiscal year will be approximately $60,000. We will not pay any
compensation to our officers or directors who also serve as officers or
directors of Carey Property Advisors. The board may change the compensation of
directors.

     Our general investment and borrowing policies are set forth in this
prospectus. The directors may establish further written policies on investments
and borrowings and shall monitor our administrative procedures, investment
operations and performance as well as that of Carey Property Advisors to assure
that the policies are in the best interest of the shareholders and are
fulfilled. We will follow the policies on investments and borrowings set forth
in this prospectus unless and until they are modified by the directors.

     The board is also responsible for reviewing our fees and expenses on at
least an annual basis and with sufficient frequency to determine that the
expenses incurred are in the best interests of the shareholders. In addition, a
majority of the independent directors and a majority of directors not otherwise
interested in the transaction must approve all transactions with Carey Property
Advisors or its affiliates (other than other publicly-registered entities, in
which case only the allocation of interests in the transaction must be approved
by the independent directors). The independent directors also will be
responsible for reviewing the performance of Carey Property Advisors and
determining that the compensation to be paid to Carey Property Advisors is
reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be performed and
that the provisions of the advisory agreement are being carried out.
Specifically, the independent directors will consider factors such as

      --  the amount of the fee paid to Carey Property Advisors in relation to
          the size, composition and performance of CPA(R):14's investments;

      --  the success of Carey Property Advisors in generating appropriate
          investment opportunities;

      --  rates charged to other REITs and other investors by advisers
          performing similar services;

      --  additional revenues realized by Carey Property Advisors and its
          affiliates through their relationship with us, whether we pay them or
          they are paid by others with whom we do business;

      --  the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by Carey
          Property Advisors, the performance of our investment portfolio; and

      --  the quality of our portfolio relative to the investments generated by
          Carey Property Advisors for its other clients.

     Neither the directors nor their affiliates will vote or consent to the
voting of shares they now own or hereafter acquire on matters submitted to the
shareholders regarding either (i) the removal of Carey Property Advisors, any
director or any affiliate; or (ii) any transaction between us and Carey Property
Advisors, any director or any affiliate.

MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

     All of the activities of Carey Property Advisors will be managed by Carey

LaPuma and Anne R. Coolidge, all of whom are officers or directors of Carey
Fiduciary Advisors. Each potential investment will be submitted for review to
the investment committee. George E. Stoddard, Chairman, Frank J. Hoenemeyer,
Nathaniel S. Coolidge and Lawrence R. Klein currently serve as members of the
investment committee. The board of directors of Carey Fiduciary Advisors has
empowered the investment committee to authorize and approve our investments on
behalf of Carey Fiduciary Advisors, provided that the members of the committee
agree unanimously on the action to be taken. However, the board of Carey
Fiduciary Advisors retains ultimate authority to authorize and approve our
investments on behalf of Carey Property Advisors and may make these investments
on our behalf without the approval of, and irrespective of any adverse
recommendation by, the investment committee or any other person, except our
board.

LIMITED LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND
OTHER AGENTS

     We maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy. The
organizational documents limit the personal liability of our directors and
officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted under current
Maryland law and provide that a director or officer may be indemnified to the
fullest extent required or permitted by Maryland law. Maryland law allows
directors and officers to be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements, and expenses actually incurred in a proceeding unless the following
can be established:

      --  the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the
          cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding, and was committed in
          bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

      --  the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit
          in money, property or services; or

      --  with respect to any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
          reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful.

Any indemnification or any agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of
our assets and not from the shareholders. Indemnification could reduce the legal
remedies available to us and the shareholders against the indemnified
individuals.

     This provision does not reduce the exposure of directors and officers to
liability under federal or state securities laws, nor does it limit the
shareholder's ability to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies
for a violation of a director's or an officer's duties to us or our
shareholders, although the equitable remedies may not be an effective remedy in
some circumstances.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors, Carey Property Advisors and
their affiliates will be indemnified by us for losses arising from our operation
only if all of the following conditions are met:

      --  the directors, Carey Property Advisors or their affiliates have
          determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the
          loss or liability was in our best interests;

      --  the directors, Carey Property Advisors or their affiliates were acting
          on our behalf or performing services for us;

      --  the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct
          by the directors, Carey Property Advisors or their affiliates; and

      --  the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only
          out of our net assets and not from its shareholders.

                                       46
<PAGE>   47

     In addition to any indemnification to which directors and officers shall be
entitled pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Maryland, the organizational
documents provide that we shall indemnify other employees and agents to the
extent authorized by the directors, whether they are serving us or, at our
request, any other entity. We have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Carey
Property Advisors and its affiliates performing services for us from specific
claims and liabilities arising out of the performance of its obligations under
the advisory agreement. As a result, we and our shareholders may be entitled to
a more limited right of action than they would otherwise have if these
indemnification rights were not included in the advisory agreement.

     The general effect to investors of any arrangement under which any
controlling person, director or officer of CPA(R):14 is insured or indemnified
against liability is a potential reduction in distributions resulting from our
payment of premiums associated with insurance. In addition, indemnification
could reduce the legal remedies available to CPA(R):14 and the shareholders
against the officers and directors.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that
indemnification against liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is
against public policy and unenforceable. Indemnification of the directors,
officers, Carey Property Advisors or their affiliates will not be allowed for
liabilities arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities
laws. Indemnification will be allowed for settlements and related expenses of
lawsuits alleging securities laws violations and for expenses incurred in
successfully defending any lawsuits, provided that a court either

      --  approves the settlement and finds that indemnification of the
          settlement and related costs should be made; or

      --  there has been a dismissal with prejudice or a successful adjudication
          on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
          violations as to the particular indemnitee and a court approves the
          indemnification.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT

     Many of the services to be performed by Carey Property Advisors and its
affiliates in managing our day-to-day activities are summarized below. This

          objectives;

<PAGE>   48

     The board has authorized Carey Property Advisors to make investments in any
property on our behalf without the approval of the board if the following
conditions are satisfied:

          exceed the appraised value of the property; and

      --  Carey Property Advisors must provide us with a representation that the
          property, in conjunction with our other investments and proposed
          investments, is reasonably expected to fulfill our investment
          procedures, objectives and policies as established by the board and
          then in effect.

     The term of the advisory agreement ends on December 31, 2000 and thereafter
will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either
party shall give the other party written notice of non-renewal not less than 60
days before the end of any one-year period. Additionally, the advisory agreement
may be terminated

      --  immediately by us for "cause" or upon the bankruptcy of Carey Property
          Advisors or a material breach of the advisory agreement by Carey
          Property Advisors,

      --  without cause by a majority of the independent directors or
          shareholders upon 60 days' notice, or

      --  immediately with good reason by Carey Property Advisors.

"Good reason" is defined in the advisory agreement to mean either

      --  any failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to
          us to assume and agree to perform our obligations under the advisory
          agreement or

      --  any material breach of the advisory agreement of any nature whatsoever
          by us.

"Cause" is defined in the advisory agreement to mean fraud, criminal conduct,
willful misconduct or willful or negligent breach of fiduciary duty by Carey
Property Advisors or a breach of the advisory agreement by Carey Property
Advisors.

     Carey Property Advisors and its affiliates expect to engage in other
business ventures and, as a result, their resources will not be dedicated
exclusively to our business. However, pursuant to the advisory agreement, Carey
Property Advisors must devote sufficient resources to the administration of
CPA(R):14 to discharge its obligations. The advisory agreement is not assignable
or transferable by either party without the consent of the other party, except
that Carey Property Advisors may assign the advisory agreement to an affiliate
that has a net worth of $5,000,000 or more or for whom W. P. Carey & Co. agrees
to guarantee its obligations to us. Either we or Carey Property Advisors may
assign or transfer the advisory agreement to a successor entity.

     Carey Property Advisors may not make any loans on our behalf without the
prior approval of a majority of the independent directors. The actual terms and
conditions of transactions involving investments in properties shall be
determined in the sole discretion of Carey Property Advisors, subject at all
times to compliance with the foregoing requirements.

     Some types of transactions require the prior approval of the board,
including a majority of the independent directors, including the following:

      --  investments in properties in respect of which the requirements
          specified above have not been satisfied;

      --  investments made through joint venture arrangements with affiliates of
          Carey Property Advisors;

      --  investments which are not contemplated by the terms of this
          prospectus;

      --  transactions that present issues which involve conflicts of interest
          for Carey Property Advisors (other than conflicts involving the
          payment of fees or the reimbursement of expenses);

      --  investments in equity securities (other than warrants acquired in
          connection with net lease transactions); and
                                       48
<PAGE>   49

      --  the lease of assets to W. P. Carey & Co., any director or Carey
          Property Advisors.

     We will reimburse Carey Property Advisors for all of the costs it incurs in
connection with the services it provides to us, including, but not limited to:

      --  organization and offering expenses, which include expenses
          attributable to preparing the registration statement, formation and
          organization of CPA(R):14, qualification of the shares for sale in the
          states, escrow arrangements, filing fees and expenses attributable to
          selling the shares (including, but not limited to, selling
          commissions, advertising expenses, expense reimbursement, counsel and
          accounting fees);

      --  the annual cost of goods and materials used by us and obtained from
          entities not affiliated with W. P. Carey & Co., including brokerage
          fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of securities;

      --  administrative services (including personnel costs, provided, however,
          that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the
          extent that personnel are used in transactions for which Carey
          Property Advisors receives a separate fee);

      --  rent, depreciation, leasehold improvement costs, utilities or other
          administrative items generally constituting Carey Property Advisors'
          overhead; and

      --  acquisition expenses, which are defined to include expenses related to
          the selection and acquisition of properties.

     Carey Property Advisors must reimburse us at least annually for the amount
by which our operating expenses exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested
assets or 25% of our net income. To the extent that operating expenses payable
or reimbursable by us exceed this limit and the independent directors determine
that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring
factors which they deem sufficient, Carey Property Advisors may be reimbursed in
future years for the full amount of the excess expenses, or any portion thereof,
but only to the extent the reimbursement would not cause our operating expenses
to exceed the limitation in any year. Within 60 days after the end of any of our
fiscal quarters for which total operating expenses for the 12 months then ended
exceed the limitation, there shall be sent to the shareholders a written
disclosure, together with an explanation of the factors the independent
directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that the excess expenses were
justified.

     Carey Property Advisors or its affiliates will be paid fees in connection
with services provided to us. See "Management Compensation." In the event the
advisory agreement is not renewed by us or is terminated by us without cause or
with good reason by Carey Property Advisors, Carey Property Advisors will be
paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements, any unaccrued
subordinated acquisition fees and in some circumstances will also be paid a
termination fee. See "Management Compensation." We will not reimburse Carey
Property Advisors or its affiliates for services for which Carey Property
Advisors or its affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a
separate fee.

     On November 30, 1999, the boards of directors of Carey Diversified and W.P.
Carey & Co., Inc. approved the terms of a merger agreement whereby W.P. Carey &
Co. and certain affiliates, including Carey Property Advisors, will contribute
certain assets, including the Carey Property Advisor's advisory agreement with
CPA(R):14, into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carey Diversified. A proxy
solicitation with respect to such shareholder approval has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The combined company will be renamed W.P. Carey & Co. LLC and will assume
all of Carey Property Advisors' rights and obligations under the advisory
agreement. W.P. Carey & Co. LLC will be managed by the same directors and
employees as W.P. Carey & Co., Inc. W.P. Carey & Co. expects to be listed on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Exchange under the symbol "WPC." The
completion of the merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Carey
Diversified.

     The advisory agreement between CPA(R):14 and Carey Property Advisors
requires that any assignment of the agreement be approved by the majority of the
directors of CPA(R):14. On November 30, 1999, the directors of CPA(R):14,
including the independent directors, unanimously approved the assignment of the
advisory agreement from Carey Property Advisors to a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Carey Diversified LLC. This assignment will not change any of the terms of the
advisory agreement.

                 INVESTMENT PROCEDURES, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

INVESTMENT PROCEDURES

     We invest primarily in single-tenant commercial, industrial and
governmental real property, either existing or under construction, sometimes
including the attached property. Generally, our properties will be net leased to
entities Carey Property Advisors deems creditworthy under leases which will be
full recourse obligations of our tenants or their affiliates. In most cases,
each lease will require the tenant to pay all of the costs of maintenance,
insurance and real estate taxes.

     In analyzing potential acquisitions, Carey Property Advisors reviews and
structures many aspects of a transaction, including the tenant, the real estate
and the lease to determine whether a potential acquisition can be structured to
satisfy our acquisition criteria. Carey Property Advisors considers the
following aspects of each transaction:

    Tenant Evaluation.  Carey Property Advisors evaluates each potential tenant
    for its credit, management, position within its industry, operating history
    and profitability. Carey Property Advisors seeks tenants it believes will
    have stable or improving credit. By leasing properties to these tenants, we
    can generally charge rent that is higher than the rent charged to tenants
    with recognized credit and thereby enhance its current return from these
    properties as compared with properties leased to companies whose credit
    potential has already been recognized by the market. Furthermore, if a
    tenant's credit does improve, the value of our property will likely increase
    (if all other factors affecting value remain unchanged). Carey Property
    Advisors may also seek to enhance the likelihood of a tenant's lease
    obligations being satisfied, such as through a letter of credit or a
    guaranty of lease obligations from the tenant's corporate parent. This
    credit enhancement provides us with additional financial security. In
    evaluating a possible investment, the creditworthiness of a tenant generally
    will be a more significant factor than the value of the property absent the
    lease with such tenant. While Carey Property Advisors will select tenants it
    believes are creditworthy, tenants will not be required to meet any minimum
    rating established by an independent credit rating agency. Carey Property
    Advisors' and the investment committee's standards for determining whether a
    particular tenant is creditworthy vary in accordance with a variety of
    factors relating to specific prospective tenants. The creditworthiness of a
    tenant is determined on a tenant by tenant, case by case basis. Therefore,
    general standards for creditworthiness cannot be applied.

    Leases with Increasing Rent.  Carey Property Advisors seeks to include a
    clause in each lease that provides for increases in rent over the term of
    the lease. These increases are generally tied to increases in indices such
    as the consumer price index. In the case of retail stores, the lease may
    provide for participation in gross sales above a stated level. The lease may
    also provide for mandated rental increases on specific dates or other
    methods that may not have been in existence or contemplated by us as of the
    date of this prospectus. Carey Property Advisors seeks to avoid entering
    into leases that provide for contractual reductions in rents during their
    primary term.

    Properties Important to Tenant Operations.  Carey Property Advisors
    generally seeks to acquire properties with operations that are essential or
    important to the ongoing operations of the tenant. Carey Property Advisors
    believes that these properties provide better protection in the event a
    tenant files for bankruptcy, since leases on properties essential or
    important to the operations of a bankrupt tenant are less likely to be
    terminated by a bankrupt tenant. Carey Property Advisors also seeks to
    assess the income, cash flow and profitability of the business conducted at
    the property so that, if the tenant is unable to operate its business, we
    can either continue operating the business
                                       50
<PAGE>   51

    conducted at the property or re-lease the property to another entity in the
    industry which can operate the property profitably.

    Lease Provisions that Enhance and Protect Value.  When appropriate, Carey
    Property Advisors attempts to include provisions in its leases that require
    its consent to specified tenant activity or require the tenant to satisfy
    specific operating tests. These provisions include, for example, operational
    and financial covenants of the tenant, prohibitions on a change in control
    of the tenant and indemnification from the tenant against environmental and
    other contingent liabilities. These provisions protect our investment from
    changes in the operating and financial characteristics of a tenant that may
    impact its ability to satisfy its obligations to us or could reduce the
    value of our properties.

    Diversification.  Carey Property Advisors will attempt to diversify our
    portfolio to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, type of
    facility, geographic location or tenant industry. By diversifying our
    portfolio, Carey Property Advisors reduces the adverse effect of a single
    under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or
    geographic region.

     Carey Property Advisors uses a variety of other strategies in connection
with its acquisitions. These strategies include attempting to obtain equity
enhancements in connection with transactions. Typically, these equity
enhancements involve warrants to purchase stock of the tenant or the stock of
the parent of the tenant. If the value of the stock exceeds the exercise price
of the warrant, equity enhancements helps us to achieve our goal of increasing
funds available for the payment of distributions.

     As a transaction is structured, it is evaluated by the chairman of Carey
Property Advisors' investment committee. Before a property is acquired, the
transaction is reviewed by the investment committee to ensure that it satisfies
our investment criteria. The investment committee is not directly involved in
originating or negotiating potential acquisitions, but instead functions as a
separate and final step in the acquisition process. Carey Property Advisors
places special emphasis on having experienced individuals serve on its
investment committee and does not invest in a transaction unless it is approved
by the investment committee.

     We believe that the investment committee review process gives us a unique
competitive advantage over other net lease companies because of the substantial
experience and perspective that the investment committee has in evaluating the
blend of corporate credit, real estate and lease terms that combine to make an
acceptable risk.

     The following people serve on the investment committee:

      --  George E. Stoddard, Chairman, was formerly responsible for the direct
          corporate investments of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the
          United States and has been involved with the CPA(R) programs for over
          20 years.

      --  Frank J. Hoenemeyer, Vice Chairman, was formerly Vice Chairman,
          Director and Chief Investment Officer of The Prudential Insurance
          Company of America. As Chief Investment Officer, Mr. Hoenemeyer was
          responsible for all of Prudential's investments, including stocks,
          bonds, private placements, real estate and mortgages.

      --  Nathaniel S. Coolidge previously served as Senior Vice
          President -- Head of Bond & Corporate Finance Department of the John
          Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company. His responsibility included
          overseeing fixed income investments for Hancock, its affiliates and
          outside clients.

      --  Lawrence R. Klein is the Benjamin Franklin Professor of Economics
          Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and its Wharton School. Dr.
          Klein has been awarded the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic
          Sciences and currently advises various governments and government
          agencies.

     Each property purchased by us will be appraised by an independent
appraiser. We will not purchase any property that has a total property cost (the
purchase price of the property plus all acquisition fees) which is in excess of
its appraised value. These appraisals may take into consideration, among other

                                       51
<PAGE>   52

things, the terms and conditions of the particular lease transaction, the
quality of the lessee's credit and the conditions of the credit markets at the
time the lease transaction is negotiated. The appraised value may be greater
than the construction cost or the replacement cost of a property, and the actual
sale price of a property if sold by us may be greater or less than the appraised
value.

     Carey Property Advisors' practices include performing evaluations of the
physical condition of properties and performing environmental surveys in an
attempt to determine potential environmental liabilities associated with a
property prior to its acquisition. We intend to exercise due diligence to
discover potential environmental liabilities prior to the acquisition of any
property, although there can be no assurance that hazardous substances or wastes
(as defined by present or future Federal or state laws or regulations) will not
be discovered on the property. See "Risk Factors -- Potential liability for
environmental matters could adversely affect our financial condition." We will
also consider factors peculiar to the laws of foreign countries, in addition to
the risk normally associated with real property investments, when considering an
investment located outside the United States. See "Risk Factors -- International
investments involve additional risks."

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

     Our objectives are:

      --  TO PAY QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTIONS AT AN INCREASING RATE THAT FOR TAXABLE
          SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE PARTIALLY FREE FROM CURRENT TAXATION.  Our
          distribution rate is calculated by dividing quarterly cash
          distribution from operations by the amount of equity raised less
          amounts distributed to investors from the sale of properties and
          financings. Although the cash amount of a distribution may go down
          during the life of CPA(R):14, the distribution rate may continue to
          increase. If the total amount received by us from the sale of our
          properties is less than the total amount we invested, a portion of the
          distributions will represent a return of the money originally invested
          and not a return on the investment. There can be no assurance that we
          will pay regular distributions or that the distribution rate will
          increase. While prior CPA(R)programs have occasionally used working
          capital to pay a portion of some distributions, cash flows from
          operating activities have generally exceeded distributions paid. See
          "Distributions."

      --  TO PURCHASE A PORTFOLIO OF REAL ESTATE THAT WILL INCREASE IN
          VALUE.  An individual investing directly in real estate would not have
          to pay the organization and offering expenses we will pay. Therefore,
          we must realize a greater level of operating income from, and/or
          appreciation in the value of, our real estate in order for an investor
          to realize the same return he would realize if an investor invested
          directly in and operated the real estate purchased by us.

      --  TO INCREASE THE EQUITY IN OUR REAL ESTATE BY MAKING REGULAR MORTGAGE
          PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS.  We will realize our objective of increasing our
          equity in our properties by making regular mortgage principal payments
          from income generated from the properties only if properties are sold
          by us for an amount equal to or greater than the original equity
          investment plus the remaining mortgage balance.

     There can be no assurance that all or any of these objectives will be
achieved or that all of these objectives will be achieved with respect to each
property. See "Prior Offerings by Affiliates" for a description of the
experience of the CPA(R) programs in making investments similar to our
investment objectives. See "Risk Factors" for a description of risks associated
with our investments. We also may make loans on income-producing properties,
which loans may have some form of equity participation.

     The primary investment objectives of the CPA(R) programs are similar to
ours. The first nine CPA(R) programs have been consolidated into Carey
Diversified LLC. Based on the trading price of the shares of Carey Diversified
at the time of the consolidation and distributions made before the
consolidation, the value of all but one of the portfolios of the first nine
CPA(R) programs exceeded the aggregate purchase price of the properties.

                                       52
<PAGE>   53

TYPES OF INVESTMENTS

     Substantially all of our investments will be income-producing property
which is, upon acquisition, improved or being developed or which is being or
will be developed within a reasonable period after its acquisition. Investments
will not be restricted as to geographical areas, but it is expected that most of
the investments will be made within the United States. See "Risk Factors --
International investments involve additional risks." With the exception of
proposed investments described in this prospectus or a supplement to this
prospectus, prospective investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of our
investments or the terms of any dispositions. See "Risk Factors -- Our success
will be dependent on the performance of Carey Property Advisors."

     It is anticipated that many of the properties we purchase will be acquired
from entities that simultaneously lease the properties from us. These
sale-leaseback transactions provide the lessee company with a source of capital
as an alternative to other financing sources such as borrowing, mortgaging real
property, issuing bonds or selling shares of common stock. The prospects for the
seller/ lessee's enterprise and the financial strength of the seller/lessee will
be important aspects of the sale and leaseback of a property, particularly a
property specifically suited to the needs of the lessee. Carey Property Advisors
will examine the financial statements of the lessee, if available, to evaluate
the financial capability of the lessee and its ability to perform the terms of
the purchase and leaseback agreement and, where appropriate, will examine the
available operating results of properties to determine whether or not projected
rental levels are likely to be met. Whether a prospective tenant is creditworthy
will be determined by Carey Property Advisors or the board. Creditworthy does
not necessarily mean "investment grade."

     We anticipate that some of our sale-leasebacks will be in conjunction with
acquisitions, recapitalizations and other financial restructurings. In some of
these transactions, the acquiring entities typically purchase all or
substantially all of the stock or assets of a company, and the acquired company
or its successor in interest becomes obligated on the substantial loans
necessary to finance the acquisition. We may act as one of several sources of
financing for these transactions by purchasing real property from the seller of
the subject company and net leasing it to the company or its successor in
interest (the lessee). See "Risk Factors -- Our tenants that are highly
leveraged may be unable to pay rent."

     In selecting properties in which to make investments, Carey Property
Advisors will consider the extent to which a particular property may generate
depreciation. Depreciation deductions may reduce our taxable income which may
enable us to pay distributions which are partially free from current taxation.
We depreciate our real estate for tax purposes on a straight line basis over a
40-year period, except where the Internal Revenue Code requires a different
depreciation period, as it may with respect to property leased to governments
and to foreign lessees. See "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations."

     Carey Property Advisors may structure some lease transactions so that the
leases will not be recognized as leases for federal income tax purposes. To the
extent a lease is not considered a lease for federal income tax purposes, we
would not be able to depreciate the property subject to the lease and may lose
some other tax benefits. See "United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations -- Sale-Leaseback Transactions." In structuring these lease
transactions, Carey Property Advisors will attempt to obtain additional
consideration from the tenant to compensate us for any lost tax benefits.
However, there can be no assurance that any additional consideration will be
received or, if received, that it will be sufficient to fully compensate us for
lost tax benefits.

     In some circumstances, we grant tenants a right to purchase the property
leased by the tenant. The option purchase price is generally the greater of the
contract purchase price and the fair market value of the property at the time
the option is exercised.

                                       53
<PAGE>   54

  Investments in Loans

     Carey Property Advisors may structure an investment as a loan in situations
in which a standard net lease transaction would have an adverse impact on the
seller of a property or otherwise would be inappropriate for us. Carey Property
Advisors would attempt to structure any loan in a manner that would provide us
with an economic return similar to that which we could expect to receive had the
investment been structured as a net lease transaction. Any transaction
structured as a loan must otherwise meet our investment criteria. The directors,
including a majority of the independent directors, must approve any transaction
structured as a loan.

     Some of the loans made, purchased or otherwise acquired by us, in addition
to providing for base interest at a fixed or variable rate, may allow us to
participate in the economic benefits of any increase in the value of the
property securing repayment of the loan, as though we were an equity owner of a
portion of the property. In addition, it is possible that the participations may
take other forms where available or deemed appropriate. See "United States
Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Requirements for Qualification." The forms
and extent of the participations we receive will vary with each transaction
depending on factors such as the equity investment, if any, of the borrower,
credit support provided by the borrower, the interest rate on our loans and the
anticipated and actual cash flow from the underlying real property. Our loans
may include first mortgage loans, leasehold mortgage loans and conventional
mortgage loans without equity enhancements. Loans are not expected to comprise a
significant portion of our portfolio.

     Any loans will be secured by various types of real property as well as
personal or mixed property connected with the real property. The loans generally
will be secured by property with a demonstrable income-producing potential. In
determining whether to make loans, Carey Property Advisors will analyze relevant
property and financial factors which may include the condition and use of the
subject property, its income-producing capacity and the quality, experience and
creditworthiness of the owner of the property.

     We anticipate that our loans will either include provisions permitting us
to cause the entire unpaid principal amount to become due within 15 years or be
fully amortized within that period. Our lending activity may consist of the
origination of loans or the purchase of existing loans. We may make both
long-term and short-term loans. We will not make or invest in loans that are
subordinate to any mortgage held by W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors,
the directors or their affiliates.

     We will require that a mortgagee's title insurance policy or commitment as
to the lien priority of a mortgage or the condition of title be obtained. We
will obtain independent appraisals for underlying real property, which we will
maintain in our records for at least five years and will be available for
inspection and duplication by any shareholder at our offices. However, Carey
Property Advisors generally will rely on its own independent analysis and not
exclusively on appraisals in determining whether to make a particular loan. It
should be noted that appraisals are estimates of value and should not be relied
upon as measures of true worth or realizable value. We will not make a loan when
the amount we advance plus the amount of any existing loans that are equal or
senior to our loan exceeds 100% of the appraised value of the underlying real
property. In making loans that exceed 85% of the appraised value of any
underlying real property, Carey Property Advisors will consider additional
underwriting criteria such as the net worth of the borrower, the borrower's
credit rating, if any, the anticipated cash flow of the borrower, any additional
collateral provided by the borrower and other factors Carey Property Advisors
deems appropriate.

  Joint Ventures and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

     We may enter into joint ventures or general partnerships and other
participations with real estate developers, owners and others for the purpose of
obtaining an equity interest in a property or properties in accordance with our
investment policies. These investments permit us to own interests in large
properties without unduly restricting the diversity of our portfolio. We will
not enter into a joint venture to make an investment that we would not be
permitted to make on our own. In making equity
                                       54
<PAGE>   55

investments with third parties, we are prohibited from participating with
non-affiliates unless we acquire a controlling interest in the investment. A
"controlling interest" means an equity interest possessing the power to direct
or cause the direction of the management and policies of the joint venture or
general partnership. In transactions in which both non-affiliated entities and
our affiliates are participants, a controlling interest is determined by
aggregating our equity interests with any affiliate participating in the
transaction, provided the affiliate has investment objectives substantially
similar to ours. See "Risk Factors -- Our participation in joint ventures
creates additional risks."

     We may participate jointly with publicly registered investment programs or
other entities sponsored or managed by Carey Property Advisors in investments as
tenants-in-common or in some other joint venture arrangement. Joint ventures
with affiliated programs will be permitted only if:

      --  a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent
          directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the
          transaction as being fair and reasonable to us;

      --  the affiliated program or entity makes its investment on substantially
          the same terms and conditions as us; and

      --  we and the affiliated program or entity each have a right of first
          refusal to purchase the investment if the other program wishes to sell
          the investment.

It is not likely that we will have money available to exercise this right of
first refusal and we have made no determination as to whether it would borrow
funds or liquidate assets in order to exercise any option. We will not otherwise
participate in joint investments with Carey Property Advisors or its affiliates.
The cost of structuring joint investments will be shared ratably by us and
participating investors.

     We have and will form wholly-owned subsidiary corporations to purchase
properties in some jurisdictions where the acquisition of properties through the
use of a separate entity would have a beneficial effect on our taxable income
for state tax purposes or for other reasons deemed to be beneficial. These
subsidiary corporations are usually formed for the sole purpose of acquiring a
specific property or properties located in one or more states and would have
organizational documents

      --  that are substantially similar to our organizational documents;

      --  that comply with all applicable state securities laws and regulations;
          and

      --  that comply with the applicable terms and conditions set forth in this
          prospectus.

We have made and will make loans to our wholly-owned subsidiaries and we have
and will guaranty the obligations of these subsidiaries.

  Other Investments

     We may invest up to 10% of our net equity in unimproved or
non-income-producing real property and in "equity interests." Investment in
equity interests in the aggregate will not exceed 5% of our net equity. "Equity
interests" are defined generally to mean stock, warrants or other rights to
purchase the stock of, or other interests in, a tenant of a property, an entity
to which we lend money or a parent or controlling person of a borrower or
tenant. We will invest in unimproved or non-income-producing property which
Carey Property Advisors believes will appreciate in value or which will increase
the value of an adjoining or neighboring properties we own. There can be no
assurance that these expectations will be realized. We anticipate that most
equity interests will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. Under this rule, we may be
prohibited from reselling the equity securities without limitation until we have
fully paid for and held the securities for one year. The issuer of equity
interests in which we invest may never register the interests under the
Securities Act of 1933. Whether an issuer registers its securities under the
Securities Act of 1933 may depend on the success of its operations.

     We will exercise warrants or other rights to purchase stock only if the
value of the stock at the time the rights are exercised exceeds the exercise
price. Payment of the exercise price shall not be deemed an
                                       55
<PAGE>   56

investment subject to the above described limitations. We may borrow funds to
pay the exercise price on warrants or other rights or may pay the exercise price
from funds held for working capital and then repay the loan or replenish the
working capital upon the sale of the securities or interests purchased. We will
not pay distributions out of the proceeds of the sale of these interests until
any funds borrowed to purchase the interest have been fully repaid. We will
invest in equity interests which Carey Property Advisors believes will
appreciate in value. There can be no assurance, however, that this expectation
will be realized.

     We will not invest in real estate contracts of sale unless the contracts of
sale are in recordable form and are appropriately recorded in the applicable
chain of title, provided, however, that in no event shall investments in these
contracts exceed 1% of total assets.

     There can be no assurance as to when our capital may be fully invested in
properties. See "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Requirements
for Qualification." Pending investment, the balance of the proceeds of this
offering will be invested in permitted temporary investments, which include
short-term U.S. Government securities, bank certificates of deposit and other
short-term liquid investments. To maintain its REIT status, we also may invest
in securities that qualify as "real estate assets" and produce qualifying income
under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Any investments in other
REITs in which W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors or any director is an
affiliate must be approved as being fair and reasonable by a majority of the
directors (including a majority of the independent directors) who are not
otherwise interested in the transaction. If all the proceeds derived from this
offering are not invested or committed to be invested by us prior to the
expiration of the later of twenty-four months after the date of this prospectus
or one year after the termination of this offering, then the proceeds not so
invested or committed will, promptly after the expiration of such period, be
distributed pro rata to the shareholders as a return of capital, without any
deductions for organizational and offering expenses or acquisition expenses. For
the purpose of this provision, funds will be deemed to have been committed to
investment as required and will not be returned to shareholders if written
agreements in principle have been executed at any time prior to the expiration
of the period, regardless of whether the investments are made, and also to the
extent any funds have been reserved to make contingent payments in connection
with any property, regardless of whether the payments are made.

     If at any time the character of our investments would cause us to be deemed
an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, we
will take the necessary action to ensure that we are not deemed to be an
"investment company." Carey Property Advisors will continually review our
investment activity to attempt to ensure that we do not come within the
application of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Among other things, they will
attempt to monitor the proportion of our portfolio that is placed in various
investments so that we do not come within the definition of an investment
company under the act. We have been advised by counsel that if we operate in
accordance with the description of our proposed business in this prospectus, we
will not be deemed an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

     Our working capital and other reserves will be invested in permitted
temporary investments. Carey Property Advisors will evaluate the relative risks
and rate of return, our cash needs and other appropriate considerations when
making short-term investments on our behalf. The rate of return of permitted
temporary investments may be less than or greater than would be obtainable from
real estate investments.

     We may purchase property from W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors,
the directors or their affiliates only if:

      --  a majority of the independent directors and a majority of the
          directors who otherwise are not interested in the transaction approve
          the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us;

                                       56
<PAGE>   57

      --  the property was acquired by W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property
          Advisors, director or affiliate for the purpose of facilitating its
          purchase by us, facilitating the borrowing of money or the obtaining
          of financing for us or any other purpose related to our business;

      --  the property is purchased by us for a price no greater than the cost
          to the affiliate (provided, however, that the price may be greater
          than the cost to the affiliate, but in no event more than the
          appraised value, if the affiliate has taken significant action or has
          made an additional investment with regard to the property after its
          purchase which action or investment has increased the value of the
          property); and

      --  there is no adverse difference in the interest rates of the loans
          secured by the property at the time acquired by W. P. Carey & Co.,
          Carey Property Advisors, director or affiliate and at the time
          purchased by us nor any other detriment to us arising out of the
          transaction.

We will receive all profits or losses from any property held on an interim basis
by W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors, director or affiliate thereof
other than an affiliate that is a public program or entity.

     We will not sell properties to W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors,
a director or any affiliate of any of the foregoing except pursuant to the
exercise of a right of first refusal by an affiliated joint venture partner.

USE OF BORROWING

     While one our investment objectives will be diversification, the number of
different properties we can acquire will be affected by the amount of funds
available to us. Our goal, subject to the availability of mortgage financing, is
to borrow approximately 60% of the purchase price of all properties, but there
is no limit on borrowings on individual properties.

     Our ability to increase our diversification through borrowing could be
adversely impacted by the reduced availability of financing secured by
commercial real estate generally and specifically by single-tenant net-leased
real property, whether due to fewer financing sources, such as commercial banks
and insurance companies, or due to the reduced lending activity by those sources
continuing in that line of business. When interest rates on mortgage loans are
high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase
certain properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for
a portion of the purchase price at a later time. While the number of lenders
making loans secured by commercial real estate has decreased in recent years,
the CPA(R) programs have not encountered significant difficulty in obtaining
mortgage financing from institutional lenders such as insurance companies to
replace financing which previously might have been obtained from commercial
banks or savings and loans. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to achieve our borrowing objective.

     There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single improved
property or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any property.
Aggregate borrowings as of the time that the net proceeds of the offering have
been fully invested and at the time of each subsequent borrowing may not exceed
75% of the value of all properties unless the excess is approved by a majority
of the independent directors and disclosed to shareholders in our next quarterly
report, along with the reason for the excess. For purposes of determining the
maximum allowable amounts of indebtedness, "value" means the lesser of

      --  the total appraised value of the properties as reflected in the most
          recently obtained appraisal for each property, or

      --  the total value of our assets as reflected in the most recently
          completed valuation.

     It is expected that, by operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more
funds available and, therefore, will make more investments than would otherwise
be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio. Although our liability
for the repayment of indebtedness is expected to be limited to the value
                                       57
<PAGE>   58

of the property securing the liability and the rents or profits derived
therefrom, leveraging increases risks to us because mortgage principal and
interest payments as well as other fixed charges must be paid in order to
prevent foreclosure on leveraged properties by mortgagees regardless of the
generation of income by properties. See "Risk Factors -- Our use of debt to
finance acquisitions could adversely affect our cash flows." To the extent that
we do not obtain mortgage loans on our properties, our ability to acquire
additional properties will be restricted. Carey Property Advisors will use its
best efforts to obtain financing on the most favorable terms available to us.
Lenders may have recourse to our other assets in limited circumstances not
related to the repayment of the indebtedness.

     Lenders may also seek to include in the terms of mortgage loans provisions
making the termination or replacement of Carey Property Advisors an event of
default or an event requiring the immediate repayment of the full outstanding
balance of the loan. We will not agree to the inclusion of these provisions and
will attempt to negotiate loan terms allowing us to replace or terminate Carey
Property Advisors if the action is ordered by the board. The replacement or
termination may, however, require the prior consent of the mortgage lenders.

     Carey Property Advisors will refinance properties during the term of a loan
only in limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it
profitable to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or
if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the
refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of the
refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt
service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of the
refinancing, if any, and/or an increase in property ownership if some
refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate.

OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES

  General

     If at any time we do not have sufficient funds to provide that portion of
the total property cost of any property normally paid with our equity but would
have sufficient funds if we could use the offering proceeds being held in
escrow, funds may be borrowed from affiliates of Carey Property Advisors or from
third parties on a short-term basis. Any financing obtained from Carey Property
Advisors or its affiliates may not have terms less advantageous to us than those
available from independent third parties and may not require a prepayment charge
or penalty. The interest rate charged on any financing obtained from Carey
Property Advisors or its affiliates will be equal to the lesser of 1% above the
prime rate of interest published in the Wall Street Journal or the rate that
would be charged to us by unrelated lending institutions on comparable loans for
the same purpose. See "Conflicts of Interest -- Purchases and Loans from
Affiliates." We may assign, as security for borrowings made from third parties,
our right to receive up to 85% of the offering proceeds being held in escrow
(excluding interest and amounts held on behalf of qualified plans and IRAs). See
"The Offering -- Escrow Arrangements."

     At any time, subject to the approval of a majority of the independent
directors, we may borrow funds from affiliates of either Carey Property Advisors
or third parties on a short-term basis sufficient to provide the portion of the
purchase price of any property not paid with net offering proceeds (i.e., the
debt portion) if

      --  we are unable to obtain a permanent loan or, in our judgment or in the
          judgment of Carey Property Advisors, it is not in our best interests
          to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing, and

      --  Carey Property Advisors has reason to believe that we will be able to
          obtain a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term.

These short-term loans may be fully or partially amortized, may provide for the
payment of interest only during the term of the loan or may provide for the
payment of principal and interest only upon maturity. In addition, these loans
may be secured by a first or junior mortgage on the property to be acquired or
by a pledge of or security interest in the offering proceeds that are being held
in escrow

                                       58
<PAGE>   59

which are to be received from the sale of our shares. Any short-term loan from
affiliates of Carey Property Advisors will bear interest at a rate equal to the
lesser of 1% above the prime rate of interest published in the Wall Street
Journal or the rate that would be charged to us by unrelated lending
institutions on comparable loans for the same purpose in the locality of the
property. See "Conflicts of Interest -- Loans from Affiliates."

  Holding Period for Investments and Application of Proceeds of Sales or
Refinancings

     We intend to hold each property we acquire for an extended period. However,
circumstances might arise which could result in the early sale of some
properties. A property may be sold before the end of the expected holding period
if

      --  the lessee has involuntarily liquidated;

      --  in the judgment of Carey Property Advisors, the value of a property
          might decline radically;

      --  an opportunity has arisen to improve other properties;

      --  we can increase cash flow through the disposition of the property;

      --  the lessee is in default under the lease; or

      --  in our judgment or in the judgment of Carey Property Advisors, the
          sale of the property is in our best interests.

     The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or
otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors,
including prevailing economic conditions, with a view to achieving maximum
capital appreciation. No assurance can be given that the foregoing objective
will be realized. The selling price of a property which is net leased will be
determined in large part by the amount of rent payable under the lease. If a
tenant has a repurchase option at a formula price, we may be limited in
realizing any appreciation. In connection with our sales of properties we may
lend the purchaser all or a portion of the purchase price. In these instances,
our taxable income may exceed the cash received in the sale. See "United States
Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Qualification as a REIT -- Distribution
Requirement." The terms of payment will be affected by custom in the area in
which the property being sold is located and the then prevailing economic
conditions. To the extent that we receive purchase money mortgages rather than
cash in connection with sales of properties, there may be a delay in making
distributions to shareholders. A decision to provide financing to such
purchasers would be made after an investigation into and consideration of the
same factors regarding the purchaser, such as creditworthiness and likelihood of
future financial stability, as are undertaken when we consider a net lease
transaction. See "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations."

     If our shares are not listed for trading on a national securities exchange
or included for quotation on Nasdaq (which listing or inclusion for quotation
must be approved by the directors, a majority of the independent directors and
the Carey Fiduciary Advisors board), the properties generally will be liquidated
within eight years after the net proceeds of this offering are fully invested,
market conditions permitting. In making the decision to apply for listing of the
shares, the board will try to determine whether listing the shares or
liquidating will result in greater value for the shareholders. It cannot be
determined at this time the circumstances, if any, under which the directors
will agree to list the shares. CPA(R):10, CIP(R) and CPA(R):12 have listing
provisions similar to provisions for the listing of the shares and as of the
date of the prospectus, none of them have listed their shares. Even if the
shares are not listed or included for quotation, we are under no obligation to
liquidate our portfolio within this period since the precise timing will depend
on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions of the areas in which
the properties are located and federal income tax effects on shareholders which
may prevail in the future. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to liquidate our portfolio and it should be noted that we will continue
in existence until all properties are sold and our other assets are liquidated.

     We continually may reinvest the proceeds of property sales in investments
that we or Carey Property Advisors believes will satisfy our investment
policies. If the shares are not listed for trading on

                                       59
<PAGE>   60

a national securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq, we will
cease reinvesting our capital beginning eight years after the proceeds from the
offering are fully invested unless the directors (including a majority of the
independent directors) determine that, in light of our expected life at any
given time, it is deemed to be in the best interest of the shareholders to
reinvest proceeds from property sales or refinancings. See "United States
Federal Income Tax Considerations."

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

     Numerous limitations are placed on the manner in which we may invest its
funds. These limitations cannot be changed unless the bylaws are amended, which
requires the approval of the shareholders. Unless the bylaws are amended, we
will not:

      --  invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, with this
          limitation not being applicable to futures contracts when used solely
          for the purpose of hedging in connection with our ordinary business of
          investing in real estate assets and mortgages;

      --  invest in contracts for the sale of real estate unless the contract is
          in recordable form and is appropriately recorded in the chain of
          title;

      --  engage in any short sale or borrow on an unsecured basis, if the
          borrowing will result in asset coverage of less than 300%. "Asset
          coverage," for the purpose of this clause means the ratio which the
          value of our total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness for
          unsecured borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all of our
          unsecured borrowings;

      --  make investments in unimproved property or indebtedness secured by a
          deed of trust or mortgage loans on unimproved property in excess of
          10% of our total assets. "Unimproved real property" means property
          which has the following three characteristics:

        - an equity interest in property which was not acquired for the purpose
          of producing rental or other operating income;

        - no development or construction is in process on the property; and

        - no development or construction on the property is planned in good
          faith to commence on the property within one year of acquisition;

      --  issue equity securities on a deferred payment basis or other similar
          arrangement;

      --  issue debt securities in the absence of adequate cash flow to cover
          debt service;

      --  issue equity securities which are non-voting or assessable;

      --  issue "redeemable securities" as defined in Section 2(a)(32) of the
          Investment Company Act of 1940;

      --  grant warrants and/or options to purchase shares to Carey Property
          Advisors, directors or affiliates thereof except on the same terms as
          the options or warrants are sold to the general public and the amount
          of the options or warrants does not exceed an amount equal to 10% of
          the outstanding shares on the date of grant of the warrants and
          options;

      --  engage in trading, as compared with investment activities, or engage
          in the business of underwriting or the agency distribution of
          securities issued by other persons;

      --  invest more than 5% of the value of our assets in the securities of
          any one issuer if the investment would cause us to fail to qualify as
          a REIT;

      --  invest in securities representing more than 10% of the outstanding
          voting securities of any one issuer if the investment would cause us
          to fail to qualify as a REIT;

      --  acquire securities in any company holding investments or engaging in
          activities prohibited in the foregoing clauses;

                                       60
<PAGE>   61

      --  lend money to or lease property to or from Carey Property Advisors or
          its affiliates;

      --  sell property to W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors, a
          director or any affiliate of any of the foregoing;

      --  offer shares in exchange for property;

      --  make or invest in mortgage loans that are subordinate to any mortgage
          or equity interest of Carey Property Advisors, directors, W. P. Carey
          & Co. or our affiliates;

      --  make loans where the amount advanced by us plus the amount of any
          existing loans that are equal or senior to our loan exceeds 100% of
          the appraised value of the property; or

      --  invest more than 20% of the net proceeds from the offering for the
          purchase of land separate from the improvements thereon or expected to
          be constructed thereon.

CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS

     The bylaws require that the independent directors review our investment
policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are
in the best interest of the shareholders. Each determination and the basis
therefor shall be set forth in our minutes. The methods of implementing our
investment policies also may vary as new investment techniques are developed.
The methods of implementing our investment procedures, objectives and policies,
except as otherwise provided in the organizational documents, may be altered by
a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors)
without the approval of the shareholders.

                        HOLDERS OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY

     As of March 31, 2000, we had issued 32,839,440 shares, of which 20,000
shares were held by Carey Property Advisors.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Overview

     The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and
results of operations of Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
for the year ended December 31, 1999. The following discussion includes forward
looking statements. Forward looking statements, which are based on certain
assumptions, describe our future plans, strategies and expectations. Such
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause our actual results, performance or achievement to be materially
different from the results of operations or plan expressed or implied by these
forward looking statements. Accordingly, this information should not be regarded
as representations that the results or condition described in these statements
or objectives and plans will be achieved.

     Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated was formed in 1997 for the
purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial and
industrial real estate. In November 1997, we commenced a public offering of
30,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 per share on a "best efforts" basis.
The offering concluded in 1999 at which time we had issued 29,440,595 shares and
raised $294,405,905. In November 1999, we commenced a second public offering of
40,000,000 shares of common stock at $10 per share on a "best efforts" basis.
The second offering will end no later than November 16, 2001 or earlier if the
entire 40,000,000 shares are subscribed prior to that date.

     We are using the proceeds from the public offerings along with limited
recourse mortgage financing to purchase properties and enter into long-term net
leases with corporate tenants. A net lease is structured to place certain
economic burdens of ownership on these corporate tenants by requiring them
                                       61
<PAGE>   62

to pay the costs of maintenance and repair, insurance and real estate taxes. The
leases have generally been structured to include periodic rent increases that
are stated or based on increases in the consumer price index or, for retail
properties, provide for additional rents based on sales in excess of a specified
base amount.

     Our primary objectives are to provide rising cash flow and to protect our
investors from the effects of inflation through rent escalation provisions,
property appreciation, tenant credit improvement and regular paydown of limited
recourse mortgage debt. In addition, we have successfully negotiated grants of
common stock warrants from selected tenants and expect to realize the benefits
of appreciation from those grants. We cannot guarantee that our objectives will
be ultimately achieved.

     Public business enterprises are required to report financial and
descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise about which financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Management
evaluates the performance of our portfolio of properties as a whole, rather than
by identifying discrete operating segments. This evaluation includes assessing
our ability to meet distribution objectives, increase the dividend and increase
value by evaluating potential investments in single tenant net lease real estate
and by seeking favorable limited recourse mortgage financing opportunities.

     Financial Condition

     We are using substantially all of the net proceeds from our offerings
(except for approximately 1% to establish a working capital reserve) along with
limited recourse mortgage financing to purchase a diversified portfolio of
commercial and industrial real estate and enter into long-term leases with
corporate tenants on a net lease, single tenant basis. Under a net lease, a
tenant is generally required to pay all expenses related to the leased property
in order to limit our exposure to the effects of increases in real estate taxes
and property maintenance and insurance costs. Our leases, which generally have
initial lease terms of 15 to 25 years, typically include rent increase
provisions which are fixed or based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index.
As of December 31, 1999, we raised $265,000,000, net of costs, from our first
offering, including approximately $160,000,000 that we raised in 1999. We have
used approximately $180,914,000 including $101,725,000 in 1999, along with
mortgage proceeds of $49,661,000 to purchase real estate and interests in five
single purpose entities formed with affiliates that have purchased real estate
and entered into net leases. The affiliates have the same investment objectives
as us. Since December 31, 1999, we have raised $33,838,000, invested an
additional $36,691,000 in real estate, and as of March 31, 2000 have
$111,193,000 of cash available for investment.

     We have devoted a substantial portion of our resources to build-to-suit
projects because we have concluded that they should provide a better return on
investment than many other opportunities being evaluated by our Advisor. In
1998, we entered into build-to-suit commitments in connection with our lease
with Metagenics Incorporated for a property in San Clemente, California and a
building in Hayward, California leased to Etec Systems, Inc. that we own with an
affiliate. The Metagenics and Etec projects were completed during 1999. During
1999, we entered into build-to-suit commitments with Atrium Companies, Inc.,
Ameriserve Food Distribution, Inc., Builders' Supply and Lumber Co., Inc.,
CheckFree Holdings Corporation, Consolidated Theatres L.L.C., Amerix Corporation
and Fitness Holdings Worldwide, Inc. The Ameriserve Food Distribution, Atrium,
Amerix and CheckFree transactions also included acquisition of properties that
were occupied, have provided us with operating revenues since their acquisition
and do not require any additional investment by us. After the build-to-suit
project at Builders' Supply was completed, we entered into a new commitment with
them to fund an expansion at that property. Remaining costs to complete these
projects are expected to be $25,211,000. Our build-to-suit commitments include
provisions that require the lessee to fund any cost overruns.

     We are using the cash flow from our net leases to fund quarterly dividends
at an increasing rate, and pay debt service installments on limited recourse
mortgage debt. For 1999, cash flow from

                                       62
<PAGE>   63

operations of $8,801,000 when combined with the cash flow from our equity
investments in excess of equity income of $1,277,000 was sufficient to pay
quarterly dividends of $9,781,000 and mortgage principal payments of $144,000.
Our cash flow from our equity investments exceeds the income we recognize from
these investments because of noncash charges for depreciation. Although the
amounts received in excess of equity income are recorded as an investing cash
flow in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Management does not
distinguish between directly owned properties and properties owned through
equity investments in evaluating the ability of the company to pay dividends. As
we continue to issue shares and invest the proceeds, both cash flow from
operations and dividends payable are expected to increase substantially.

     In connection with the purchase of our properties, we require the sellers
to perform environmental reviews. Management believes, based on the results of
such reviews, that our properties were in substantial compliance with Federal
and state environmental statutes at the time the properties were acquired.
Tenants are generally subject to environmental statutes and regulations
regarding the discharge of hazardous materials and any related remediation
obligations. In addition, our leases generally require tenants to indemnify us
fully from all liabilities and losses related to the leased properties with
provisions of such indemnification specifically addressing environmental
matters. The leases generally include provisions that allow for periodic
environmental assessments, paid for by the tenant, and allow us to extend leases
until such time as a tenant has satisfied its environmental obligations. We also
attempt to negotiate lease provisions to require financial assurances from
tenants such as performance bonds or letters of credit if the costs of
remediating environmental conditions are, in our estimation, in excess of
specified amounts. Accordingly, we believe that the ultimate resolution of any
environmental matters would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, liquidity or results of operations.

     Since December 31, 1999, Ameriserve Food Distribution filed a petition of
voluntary bankruptcy. Ameriserve is expected to prepare a plan of reorganization
and under such a plan could seek to terminate lease obligations. Accordingly,
there is no assurance that Ameriserve Food distribution will affirm its leases
with us. Ameriserve Food Distribution; however, continues to meet its lease
obligations and Management believes that the properties acquired and being
constructed are necessary to Ameriserve Food Distribution's operations.
Accordingly, we currently expect Ameriserve Food Distribution to continue to
lease our properties during its reorganization and thereafter.

     In 1999, we, along with our affiliates, formed a task force to identify
year 2000 problems. The task force developed and implemented a plan that
included inventory, assessment, remediation, testing and contingency planning.
We experienced no significant disruptions as a result of the year end date
change. The task force intends to monitor other critical dates in the future,
such as quarter-end dates. In connection with the procedures, our share of
expenses was minimal. The impact of the year 2000 issues on the company will
continue to depend on the way the issues have been addressed by third parties
that provide services to the company. To date, we have not been adversely
impacted to any significant extent by the failure of third parties to address
year 2000 issues. The task force has developed contingency plans to address
risks associated with year 2000 issues that may arise. There can be no assurance
that these plans will fully mitigate any problems, if any arise. The foregoing
year 2000 discussions constitute a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure within the
meaning of the Year 2000 Readiness and Disclosure and Disclosure Act of 1998.

     Results of Operations

     Net income for 1999 as compared with 1998 increased to $7,678,000 from
$1,058,000 and increased by 56% on a per share basis. The increase in net income
was due to our investment of offering proceeds in real estate, either directly
owned or in equity investments with affiliates in single tenant, net lease
properties. During 1999, our asset base in real estate (including equity
investments) increased from approximately $80,000,000 to $235,000,000. Our cash
balances have increased from $26,747,000 to $91,420,000 as a result of the
issuance of shares and resulted in a substantial increase in interest income.
Interest income, however, represents a lower proportion of overall revenues as
lease revenues
                                       63
<PAGE>   64

(rental income and interest income from direct financing leases) increased by
approximately $6,000,000 and income contributed from equity investments
increased from 2% of earnings in 1998 to 38% in 1999. Increases in depreciation
and amortization and property and general administrative expenses were
attributable to the increase in our asset base, and the increase in interest
expense was due to our obtaining limited recourse mortgage debt during the year.
Results for future periods are expected to reflect increases in these revenue
and expense categories except for interest income which is projected to decrease
as funds from our offerings are invested fully in accordance with our
objectives. Because of the commencement of our second offering in November 1999,
it may be several years before the decrease in interest income is realized.
Interest income is earned solely as a result of using uninvested cash to
purchase money market instruments.

     Our results of operations for 1998 are not comparable with the results for
1997. During 1997, we had no real estate operations and had no revenues. The
commencement of our public offering did not begin until November, 1997. During
1998, we issued our initial shares of common stock pursuant to the common stock
offering, and purchased our first property in June 1998. The trend of
acquisitions activity started to accelerate during the fourth quarter of 1998
and thereafter. The results for 1998, therefore, are not representative of
results for future periods.

     Accounting principles require that construction period rents on
build-to-suit projects be recorded as a reduction of cost rather than rental
income. As a result, rents on build-to-suit projects are not currently being
reflected in income nor cash flow from operations even though we believe that
these projects provide an economic return on our investment during the
construction period. The results for 1998 and 1999, therefore, did not reflect
earnings from investments during their construction periods. If the revenue of
build-to-suit projects was able to be recognized currently, our net income would
have been higher than the amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. We believe that the return on investment on our
build-to-suit projects will produce long-term returns that are superior to those
of other opportunities that we have evaluated.

                                 DISTRIBUTIONS

     Since July 1998, the Company has paid the following dividends to
shareholders who held their shares for the full quarter preceding the payment of
the dividend:

     Largely because of deductions for depreciation, on a GAAP basis, 15% of the
dividends paid in 1999 represented a return of capital.

                         DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTIES

     We have purchased 29 properties located in 17 states leased to 21 tenants.
The cost of each of the properties will be depreciated for tax purposes over a
40-year period on a straight line basis. CPA(R):14

                UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     The following is a general summary of the material federal income tax
considerations associated with an investment in the shares. In this section when
we refer to "the Code" we mean the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. This
summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and is not tax
advice. Moreover, this summary does not deal with all tax aspects that might be
relevant to you, as a particular prospective shareholder in light of your
personal circumstances; nor does it deal with particular types of shareholders
that are subject to special treatment under the Code, such as insurance
companies, financial institutions and broker-dealers. The Code provisions
governing the federal income tax treatment of REITs are highly technical and
complex. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the applicable Code
provisions, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and
judicial interpretations thereof. The following discussion is based on current
law.

     WE URGE YOU, AS A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR, TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISER
REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND
SALE OF THE SHARES AND OF OUR ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REIT, INCLUDING THE
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PURCHASE,
OWNERSHIP AND SALE.

OPINION OF COUNSEL

     In the opinion of our counsel, Reed Smith Shaw & McClay LLP, commencing
with our taxable year ended December 31, 1998, we qualified to be taxed as a
REIT under the Code, provided that we operated and continue to operate in
accordance with various assumptions and factual representations we made
concerning our business, properties and operations. It must be emphasized that
Reed Smith Shaw & McClay LLP's opinion is based on various assumptions and is
conditioned upon the assumptions and representations we made concerning our
business and properties. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT
depends on our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the
Code discussed below, the results of which will not be reviewed by Reed Smith
Shaw & McClay LLP. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual
results of our operations for any one taxable year will satisfy these
requirements. See "Risk Factors -- Failure to qualify as a REIT could adversely
affect our operations and ability to make distributions."

     The opinion of Reed Smith Shaw & McClay LLP is also based upon existing law
as currently applicable, Internal Revenue Service regulations, currently
published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service and judicial
decisions, which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. We
cannot assure you that any changes will not modify the conclusions expressed in
their

                                       76
<PAGE>   77

opinion. Moreover, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue
Service and we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not
successfully challenge our status as a REIT.

     If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to
federal corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital
gain that we distribute currently to our shareholders. The REIT provisions of
the Code generally allow a REIT to deduct distributions paid to its
shareholders. This substantially eliminates the federal "double taxation" on
earnings (taxation at both the corporate level and shareholder level) that
usually results from investments in a corporation.

     Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will be subject to federal
income tax, as follows:

      --  we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on our undistributed REIT
          taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains;

      --  under some circumstances, we will be subject to "alternative minimum
          tax";

      --  if we have net income from the sale or other disposition of
          "foreclosure property" that is held primarily for sale to customers in
          the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from
          foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax at the highest
          corporate rate on that income;

      --  if we have net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in
          general, sales or other dispositions of property other than
          foreclosure property held primarily for sale to customers in the
          ordinary course of business), the income will be subject to a 100%
          tax;

      --  if we fail to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income test
          (discussed below) but have nonetheless maintained our qualification as
          a REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we will be
          subject to a 100% tax on the net income attributable to the greater of
          the amount by which we fail the 75% or 95% test, multiplied by a
          fraction intended to reflect our profitability;

      --  if we fail to distribute during each year at least the sum of (i) 85%
          of our REIT ordinary income for the year, (ii) 95% of our REIT capital
          gain net income for such year (other than capital gain net income
          which we elect to retain and pay tax on) and (iii) any undistributed
          taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a 4% excise
          tax on the excess of the required distribution over the amounts
          actually distributed; and

      --  if we acquire any asset from a C corporation (i.e., a corporation
          generally subject to full corporate-level tax) in a carryover-basis
          transaction and we subsequently recognize gain on the disposition of
          the asset during the ten-year period beginning on the date on which we
          acquired the asset, then a portion of the gains may be subject to tax
          at the highest regular corporate rate, pursuant to guidelines issued
          by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Built-In-Gain Rules").

     At the end of 1999, a law was enacted that revised several provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code relating to REIT's such as CPA(R):14. In relevant
part, these changes include:

     1. For CPA(R):14's tax year beginning January 1, 2001:

      --  In order to maintain its status as a REIT, CPA(R):14 is required to
          distribute 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (in contrast to 95
          percent before the change);

      --  CPA(R):14 can own stock in a taxable subsidiary corporation. Stock of
          one or more of these subsidiaries can represent up to 20 percent of
          REIT's total assets. These subsidiaries can provide services,
          including services to its parent REIT's tenants. However, a subsidiary
          cannot directly or indirectly operate or manage lodging or health care
          facilities; and

      --  a REIT generally cannot own securities (with some exceptions) having a
          value of more than 10 percent of the total value of the outstanding
          securities of any one issuer.

     2. Effective for all transactions occurring on or after December 17, 1999,
an accrual basis taxpayer, such as CPA(R):14, cannot report gain using the
installment method of accounting.

REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION

     We elected to be taxable as a REIT for our taxable year ended December 31,
1998. In order for us to have qualified as a REIT, we had to meet and we must
continue to meet the requirements discussed below relating to our organization,
source of income, nature of assets and distributions of income to our
shareholders.

  Organizational Requirements

     Definition of REIT under the Code

     In order to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, we

      --  must be a domestic corporation;

      --  must be managed by one or more trustees or directors;

      --  must have transferable shares;

      --  cannot be a financial institution or an insurance company;

      --  must have at least 100 shareholders for at least 335 days of each
          taxable year of 12 months; and

      --  must not be closely held.

We will be closely held only if five or fewer individuals or certain tax-exempt
entities own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% (by value) of our shares at
any time during the last half of our taxable year. However, for purposes of the
closely-held test, the Code generally permits a look-through for pension funds
and certain other tax-exempt entities to the beneficiaries of the entity to
determine if the REIT is closely held. However, if a tax-exempt shareholder owns
more than 25% of our shares or one or more tax-exempt shareholders, each own at
least 10 percent of CPA(R):14, and in the aggregate own more than 50 percent of
our shares, those shareholder(s) may be required to treat all or a portion of
their distributions from us as unrelated business taxable income. See "Taxation
of Tax-Exempt Shareholders."

     As a Maryland corporation, we satisfy the first requirement. In addition,
we are managed by a board of directors, we have transferable shares and we do
not intend to operate as a financial institution or insurance company.
Additionally, we have more than 100 shareholders. We may refuse to transfer our
shares to any person if the sale or transfer would jeopardize our ability to
satisfy the REIT ownership requirements. However, there can be no assurance that
a refusal to transfer will be effective. Based on the foregoing, we should
satisfy the organizational and structural requirements as well as the share
ownership tests.

     Our Ownership of Interests in Partnerships and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries

     In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, Treasury
Regulations provide that the REIT is deemed to own its proportionate share
(based on its interest in partnership capital) of the assets of the partnership
and is deemed to be entitled to the income of the partnership attributable to
its share. Also, if a REIT owns a qualified REIT subsidiary, it will be deemed
to own all of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities and it will be deemed to
be entitled to the income of that subsidiary. In addition, the character of the
assets and gross income of the partnership or qualified REIT subsidiary shall
retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of the Code,
including satisfying the gross income tests and asset tests.

  Income Tests

     Gross Income Requirements

     To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must satisfy annually two gross
income requirements.

      --  At least 75% of our gross income (excluding gross income from
          prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived
          directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or
                                       78
<PAGE>   79

          mortgages on real property. Gross income includes "rents from real
          property" and, in some circumstances, interest, but excludes gross
          income from disposition or property held primarily for sale to
          customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business ("prohibited
          transactions"). This is the 75% Income Test.

      --  At least 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from
          prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must be derived from
          the real property investments described above and from distributions,
          interest and gains from the sale or disposition of stock or securities
          or from any combination of the foregoing. This is the 95% Income Test.

     Rents from Real Property

     The rents we receive or that we are deemed to receive qualify as "rents
from real property" in satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT
described above only if the following conditions are met.

      --  The amount of rent generally must not be based in whole or in part on
          the income of profits of any person. An amount received or accrued
          generally will not be excluded from the term "rents from real
          property," solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or
          percentages of gross receipts or sales.

      --  The Code provides that rents received from a tenant will not qualify
          as "rents from real property" in satisfying the gross income tests if
          the REIT, or an owner of 10% or more of the REIT, directly or
          constructively owns 10% or more of the tenant (a "Related Party
          Tenant") or a subtenant of the tenant (in which case only rent
          attributable to the subtenant is disqualified).

      --  If rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a
          lease of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received
          under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to the personal
          property will not qualify as "rents from real property."

      --  The REIT must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render
          services to tenants, other than through an "independent contractor"
          who is adequately compensated and from whom the REIT does not derive
          any income. However, a REIT may provide services with respect to its
          properties and the income will qualify as "rents from real property"
          if the services are "usually or customarily rendered" in connection
          with the rental of space only and are not otherwise considered
          "rendered to the occupant." Even if the services with respect to a
          property are impermissible tenant services the income will qualify as
          "rent from real property" if the income from these services does not
          exceed one percent of all amounts received or accrued with respect to
          that property.

     If we acquire ownership of property by reason of the default of a borrower
on a loan or possession of property by reason of a tenant default, if the
property qualifies and we elect to treat it as foreclosure property, the income
from the property will qualify under the 75% Income Test and the 95% Income Test
notwithstanding its failure to satisfy these requirements for two years, or if
extended for good cause, up to a total of five years. In that event, we must
satisfy a number of complex rules, one of which is a requirement that it operate
the property through an independent contractor. We will be subject to tax on
that portion of our net income from foreclosure property that does not otherwise
qualify under the 75% Income Test.

     Prior to the making of investments in properties, we may satisfy the 75%
Income Test and the 95% Income Test by investing in liquid assets such as
government securities or certificates of deposit, but earnings from those types
of assets are qualifying income under the 75% Income Test only for one year from
the receipt of proceeds. Accordingly, to the extent that offering proceeds have
not been invested in properties prior to the expiration of this one-year period,
in order to satisfy the 75% Income Test, we may invest the offering proceeds in
less liquid investments such as mortgage-backed securities, maturing mortgage
loans purchased from mortgage lenders or shares in other REITs. We expect to
receive proceeds from the offering in a series of closings and to trace those
proceeds for purposes of determining
                                       79
<PAGE>   80

the one-year period for "new capital investments." No rulings or regulations
have been issued under the provisions of the Code governing "new capital
investments," so that there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue
Service will agree with this method of calculation.

     Except for amounts received with respect to certain investments of cash
reserves, we anticipate that substantially all of our gross income will be from
sources that will allow us to satisfy the income tests described above; however,
no assurance can be given in this regard.

     Eligibility for Relief Under the Code if We Fail to Qualify as a REIT

     If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% Income Test or the 95% Income
Test for any taxable year, we may still qualify as a REIT for that year if we
are eligible for relief under specific provisions of the Code. These relief
provisions generally will be available if:

      --  our failure to meet these tests was due to reasonable cause and not
          due to willful neglect;

      --  we attach a schedule of our income sources to our federal income tax
          return; and

      --  any incorrect information on the schedule is not due to fraud with
          intent to evade tax.

It is not possible, however, to state whether, in all circumstances, we would be
entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. For example, if we fail to
satisfy the gross income tests because nonqualifying income that we
intentionally earn exceeds the limits on this income, the Internal Revenue
Service could conclude that our failure to satisfy the tests was not due to
reasonable cause. As discussed above in "Opinion of Tax Counsel," even if these
relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed with respect to the excess net
income.

  Asset Tests

     At the close of each quarter of our taxable year, we also must satisfy
three tests relating to the nature and diversification of our assets.

      --  First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be
          represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items and government
          securities.

      --  Second, no more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by
          securities other than those in the 75% asset class.

      --  Third, of the investments included in the 25% asset class, the value
          of any one issuer's securities that we own may not exceed 5% of the
          value of our total assets. Additionally, we may not own more than 10%
          of any one issuer's outstanding voting securities.

     The 5% test must generally be met for any quarter in which we acquire
securities of an issuer. After initially meeting the asset tests at the close of
any quarter, we will not lose our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the
asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset
values. If the failure to satisfy the asset tests results from an acquisition of
securities or other property during a quarter, we can cure the failure by
disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close of
that quarter. We maintain, and will continue to maintain, adequate records of
the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests and will take
other action within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to
cure any noncompliance.

  Annual Distribution Requirements

     In order to be taxed as a REIT, we are required to make distributions
(other than capital gain distributions) to our shareholders. The amount of these
distributions must be at least equal to:

      --  the sum of 95% of our REIT Taxable Income (as defined by the Code and
          computed without regard to the distributions-paid deduction and our
          capital gain) and 95% of the net income, if

                                       80
<PAGE>   81

          any, from foreclosure property in excess of the special tax on income
          from foreclosure property, minus

      --  the sum of specific items of noncash income

This is known as the 95 Percent Test.

We must pay distributions in the taxable year to which they relate.
Alternatively, we may pay these distributions in the following taxable year if
declared before we timely file our federal income tax return for that year and
if paid on or before the first regular distribution payment after the
declaration.

     Even if we satisfy the foregoing distribution requirements, to the extent
that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or REIT Taxable Income as
adjusted, we will be subject to tax thereon at regular capital gains or ordinary
corporate tax rates. Furthermore, if we fail to distribute during each calendar
year at least the sum of

      --  85% of our ordinary income for that year,

      --  95% of our capital gain net income other than the capital gain net
          income which we elect to retain and pay tax on for that year, and

      --  any undistributed taxable income from prior periods,

we would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required
distribution over the amounts actually distributed.

ELECTION TO RETAIN OUR LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS

     We may elect to retain, rather than distribute our net long-term capital
gains. The effect of this election is that:

      --  we are required to pay the tax on these gains;

      --  shareholders, while required to include their proportionate share of
          the undistributed long-term capital gains in income, will receive a
          credit or refund for their share of the tax paid by the REIT; and

      --  the basis of the shareholder's shares would be increased by the amount
          of the undistributed long-term capital gains (minus the amount of
          capital gains tax we pay) included in the domestic shareholders'
          long-term capital gains.

     We believe we have made and we intend to continue to make timely
distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirements. We
expect that our REIT taxable income will be less than our cash flow due to
depreciation and other non-cash charges. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will
generally have sufficient cash or liquid assets to enable us to satisfy the 95%
Distribution Test. It is possible, however, that we may not have sufficient cash
or other liquid assets to meet the 95% Distribution Test or to distribute a
greater amount as may be necessary to avoid income and excise taxation. This
could occur as a result of timing differences between

      --  the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible
          expenses, and

      --  the inclusion of income and deduction of these expenses in arriving at
          our taxable income, or as a result of nondeductible expenses such as
          principal amortization or capital expenditures in excess of noncash
          deductions.

In the event that timing differences occur, we may find it necessary to arrange
for borrowings or, if possible, pay taxable stock distributions in order to meet
the distribution requirement.

DEFICIENCY DISTRIBUTIONS

     In some circumstances, we may be able to rectify a failure to meet the
distribution requirement for a year by paying "deficiency distributions" to our
shareholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for
distributions paid for the earlier year. Thus, we may be able to avoid being
taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency distributions. We will, however, be
required to pay interest based upon the amount of any deduction taken for
deficiency distributions.

     In computing our REIT taxable income, we will use the accrual method of
accounting and depreciate depreciable property under the alternative
depreciation system. We are required to file an annual federal income tax
return, which, like other corporate returns, is subject to Internal Revenue
Service examination. Because the tax law requires us to make many judgments
regarding the proper treatment of a transaction or an item of income or
deduction, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service will challenge
positions we take in computing our REIT taxable income and its distributions.
Were the Internal Revenue Service to challenge successfully our characterization
of a transaction or determination of our REIT taxable income, we could be found
not to have satisfied a requirement for qualification as a REIT and mitigation
provisions might not apply. See "Sale-Leaseback Transactions." If, as a result
of a challenge, we are not able to satisfy the 95% Distribution Test, we would
be disqualified as a REIT (unless it were to pay a deficiency distribution and
pay interest and a penalty) as provided by the Code. A deficiency distribution
cannot be used to satisfy the 95% Distribution Test if the failure to meet the
test was not due to a later adjustment to our income by the Internal Revenue
Service.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REIT

     If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and the relief
provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax (including any applicable
alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We
will not be able to deduct distributions to our shareholders in any year in
which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We also will be disqualified from taxation
as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which
qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory
provisions. Furthermore, while we have no intention of doing so, we may revoke
its election voluntarily. See "Risk Factors -- Failure to qualify as a REIT
could adversely affect our operations and ability to make distributions."

SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

     Many of our investments are and will be in the form of sale-leaseback
transactions. In most instances, depending on the economic terms of the
transaction, we will be treated for federal income tax purposes as either the
owner of the property or the holder of a debt secured by the property. We do not
expect to request an opinion of counsel concerning the status of any leases of
properties as true leases for federal income tax purposes.

     The Internal Revenue Service may take the position that specific
sale-leaseback transactions we will treat as true leases are not true leases for
federal income tax purposes but are, instead, financing arrangements or loans.
We may also structure some sale-leaseback transactions as loans. In this event,
for purposes of the asset tests and the 75% Income Test, each such loan likely
would be viewed as secured by real property to the extent of the fair market
value of the underlying property. It is expected that, for this purpose, the
fair market value of the underlying property would be determined without taking
into account our lease. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized,
we might fail to satisfy the Asset Tests or the Income Tests and consequently
lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization.
Alternatively, the amount of our REIT Taxable Income could be recalculated which
could cause us to fail.

TAXATION OF DOMESTIC SHAREHOLDERS

  Definition

     In this section, the phrase "domestic shareholder" means a holder of shares
that for federal income tax purposes:

      --  is a citizen or resident of the United States;

      --  is a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in
          or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision
          thereof;

      --  is an estate or trust, the income of which is subject to United States
          federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

      --  a trust if a United States court is able to exercise primary
          supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more
          United States persons have the authority to control all substantial
          decisions of the trust.

For any taxable year for which we qualify for taxation as a REIT, amounts
distributed to taxable domestic shareholders will be taxed as described below.

  Distributions Generally

     Distributions to domestic shareholders, other than capital gain
distributions discussed below, will constitute dividends up to the amount of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits and will be taxable to the
shareholders as ordinary income. These distributions are not eligible for the
distributions-received deduction for corporations. To the extent that we make a
distribution in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, the
distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, reducing the
tax basis in each domestic shareholder's shares, and the amount of each
distribution in excess of a domestic shareholder's tax basis in its shares will
be taxable as gain realized from the sale of its shares. Distributions that we
declare in October, November or December of any year payable to a shareholder of
record on a specified date in any of these months will be treated as both paid
by us and received by the shareholder on December 31 of the year, provided that
we actually pay the distribution during January of the following calendar year.
Shareholders may not include any of our losses on their own federal income tax
returns.

     We will be treated as having sufficient earnings and profits to treat as a
distribution any distribution by us up to the amount required to be distributed
in order to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax, discussed in the section
titled "Opinion of Tax Counsel" above. Moreover, any "deficiency distribution"
will be treated as an ordinary or capital gain distribution, as the case may be,
regardless of our earnings and profits. As a result, shareholders may be
required to treat some distributions that would otherwise result in a tax-free
return of capital as taxable distributions.

  Capital Gain Distributions

     Distributions to domestic shareholders that we properly designate as
capital gain distributions will be treated as long-term capital gains (to the
extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain) for the taxable year
without regard to the period for which the shareholder has held his stock.

  Passive Activity Loss and Investment Interest Limitations

     Our distributions and gain from the disposition of the shares will not be
treated as passive activity income, and therefore shareholders may not be able
to apply any "passive losses" against this income. Our distributions (to the
extent they do not constitute a return of capital) will generally be treated as
investment income for purposes of the investment income limitation. Net capital
gain from the disposition of shares and capital gain distributions generally
will be included in investment income for

                                       83
<PAGE>   84

purposes of the investment interest deduction limitations only if and to the
extent you so elect, in which case these capital gains will be taxed as ordinary
income.

  Certain Dispositions of the Shares

     In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares
by a shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than 12 months and as
short-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for 12 months or
less. If, however, a shareholder has received any capital gains distributions
with respect to his shares, any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of
shares held for six months or less, to the extent of the capital gains
distributions received with respect to his shares, will be treated as long-term
capital loss. Also, the Internal Revenue Service is authorized to issue
regulations that would subject a portion of the capital gain a shareholder
recognizes from selling his shares or from a capital gain distribution to a tax
at a 25% rate, to the extent the capital gain relates to depreciation we
deducted.

TREATMENT OF TAX-EXEMPT SHAREHOLDERS

     Our distributions to a tax-exempt employee pension trust or other domestic
tax-exempt shareholder generally, will not constitute unrelated business taxable
income unless the shareholder has borrowed to acquire or carry its shares.
Qualified trusts that hold more than 10% (by value) of the shares of REITs held
predominantly by qualified trusts, may be required to treat a certain percentage
of the REIT's distributions as unrelated business taxable income. We do not
expect to be held predominantly by trusts and our articles of incorporation
prohibit the required concentration of ownership.

     For social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental
unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans exempt from
federal income taxation under Code Sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and
(c)(20), respectively, income from an investment in CPA(R):14 will constitute
unrelated business taxable income unless the organization is able to deduct
amounts set aside or placed in reserve for certain purposes so as to offset the
unrelated business taxable income generated by its investment in CPA(R):14.
Prospective tax-exempt shareholders should consult their own tax advisors
concerning these "set aside" and reserve requirements.

SPECIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

     The rules governing United States income taxation of non-resident alien
individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and foreign trusts and
estates (collectively, "foreign shareholders") are complex. The following
discussion is intended only as a summary of these rules. Foreign investors
should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal,
state and local income tax laws on an investment in CPA(R):14, including any
reporting requirements.

  Taxation if Effectively Connected With a United States Trade or Business

     In general, foreign shareholders will be subject to regular United States
federal income tax with respect to their investment in CPA(R):14 if the
investment is "effectively connected" with the foreign shareholder's conduct of
a trade or business in the United States. A corporate foreign shareholder that
receives income that is (or is treated as) effectively connected with a United
States trade or business also may be subject to the branch profits tax under
section 884 of the Code, which is payable in addition to regular United States
federal corporate income tax. The following discussion will apply to foreign
shareholders whose investment in CPA(R):14 is not so effectively connected.

 Distributions Not Attributable to Gain From the Sale or Exchange of a
 United States Real Property Interest

     A distribution that is not attributable to our gain from the sale or
exchange of a United States real property interest and that we do not designate
as a capital gain distribution will be treated as an ordinary income
distribution to the extent that it is made out of current or accumulated
earnings and
                                       84
<PAGE>   85

profits. Generally, any ordinary income distribution will be subject to a United
States federal income tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution
unless this tax is reduced by an applicable tax treaty. Such a distribution in
excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a return of capital
that will reduce each foreign shareholder's basis in its shares (but not below
zero) and then as gain from the disposition of those shares, the tax treatment
of which is described under the rules discussed below with respect to
dispositions of shares.

  Distributions Attributable to Gain From the Sale or Exchange of a United
States Real Property Interest

     Distributions that are attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a
United States real property interest will be taxed to a foreign shareholder
under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA"). Under
FIRPTA, these distributions are taxed to a foreign shareholder as if the
distributions were gains "effectively connected" with a United States trade or
business. Accordingly, a foreign shareholder will be taxed at the normal capital
gain rates applicable to a domestic shareholder (subject to any applicable
alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of
non-resident alien individuals). Distributions subject to FIRPTA also may be
subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a foreign corporate shareholder
that is not entitled to treaty exemptions.

  Withholding Obligations From Distributions to Foreign Shareholders

     Although tax treaties may reduce our withholding obligations, we generally
will be required to withhold from distributions to foreign shareholders, and
remit to the Internal Revenue Service,

      --  35% of designated capital gain distributions or, if greater, 35% of
          the amount of any distributions that could be designated as capital
          gain distributions, and

      --  30% of ordinary distributions paid out of earnings and profits.

In addition, if we designate prior distributions as capital gain distributions,
subsequent distributions, up to the amount of the prior distributions, will be
treated as capital gain distributions for purposes of withholding. A
distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will be subject to 30%
distribution withholding if at the time of the distribution it cannot be
determined whether the distribution will be in an amount in excess of our
current or accumulated earnings and profits. If the amount of tax we withheld
with respect to a distribution to a foreign shareholder exceeds the
shareholder's United States tax liability with respect to that distribution, the
foreign shareholder may file for a refund of the excess from the Internal
Revenue Service.

  Sale of Our Shares by a Foreign Shareholder

     A sale of our shares by a foreign shareholder generally will be subject to
United States federal income taxation unless our shares constitute a "United
States real property interest" within the meaning of FIRPTA. Our shares will not
constitute a United States real property interest if we are a "domestically
controlled REIT." A "domestically controlled REIT" is a REIT that at all times
during a specified testing period has less than 50% in value of its shares held
directly or indirectly by foreign shareholders. We currently anticipate that we
will be a domestically controlled REIT. Therefore, sales of our shares should
not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, no assurance can be given that
we will continue to be a domestically controlled REIT. If we were not a
domestically controlled REIT, whether a foreign shareholder's sale of our shares
would be subject to tax under FIRPTA as a sale of a United States real property
interest would depend on whether our shares were "regularly traded" on an
established securities market and on the size of the selling shareholder's
interest in CPA(R):14. Our shares currently are not "regularly traded" on an
established securities market. If the gain on the sale of shares were subject to
taxation under FIRPTA, a foreign shareholder would be subject to the same
treatment as a domestic shareholder with respect to the gain (subject to any
applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the
case of non-resident alien individuals). In addition, distributions that are
treated as gain from the disposition of shares and are subject to tax under
FIRPTA also may be subject to a 30% branch profit tax when made to a corporate
foreign shareholder

                                       85
<PAGE>   86

that is not entitled to treaty exemptions. Under FIRPTA the purchaser of our
shares may be required to withhold 10% of the purchase price and remit this
amount to the Internal Revenue Service. Capital gains not subject to FIRPTA will
be taxable to a foreign shareholder if the foreign Shareholder is a non-
resident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or
more during the taxable year and some other conditions apply, in which case the
non-resident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on his or her U.S.
source capital gains.

     Recently promulgated Treasury regulations may alter the procedures for
claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty. Our foreign shareholders should
consult their tax advisors concerning the effect, if any, of the new Treasury
regulations on an investment in our shares.

INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX FOR DOMESTIC
SHAREHOLDERS

     Under some circumstances, domestic shareholders may be subject to backup
withholding at a rate of 31% on payments made with respect to, or cash proceeds
of a sale or exchange of, shares. Backup withholding will apply only if the
shareholder:

      --  fails to furnish his or her taxpayer identification number (which, for
          an individual, would be his or her Social Security Number);

      --  furnishes an incorrect tax identification number;

      --  is notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she has failed
          properly to report payments of interest and distributions or is
          otherwise subject to backup withholding; or

      --  under some circumstances, fails to certify, under penalties of
          perjury, that he or she has furnished a correct tax identification
          number and (a) that he or she has not been notified by the Internal
          Revenue Service that he or she is subject to backup withholding for
          failure to report interest and distribution payments or (b) that he or
          she has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she
          is no longer subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to some
shareholders, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations.

     Domestic shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their
qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for
obtaining an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the
amount of any backup withholding with respect to a payment to a domestic
shareholder will be allowed as a credit against the domestic shareholder's
United States federal income tax liability and may entitle the domestic
shareholder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to
the Internal Revenue Service.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX FOR FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

     Additional issues may arise for information reporting and backup
withholding for foreign shareholders. Foreign shareholders should consult their
tax advisors with regard to U.S. information reporting and backup withholding.

STATEMENT OF STOCK OWNERSHIP

     We are required to demand annual written statements from the record holders
of designated percentages of our shares disclosing the actual owners of the
shares. Any record shareholder who, upon our request, does not provide us with
required information concerning actual ownership of the shares is required to
include specified information relating to his shares in his federal income tax
return. We also must maintain, within the Internal Revenue District in which we
are required to file our federal income tax return, permanent records showing
the information we have received about the actual ownership of shares and a list
of those persons failing or refusing to comply with our demand.

                                       86
<PAGE>   87

STATE AND LOCAL TAX

     We and our operating subsidiaries may be subject to state and local tax in
states and localities in which we or they do business or own property. The tax
treatment of CPA(R):14, our operating subsidiaries and the holders of our shares
in local jurisdictions may differ from the federal income tax treatment
described above.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

     The following is a summary of some non-tax considerations associated with
an investment in CPA(R):14 by a qualified plan, Keogh Plan or an IRA. This
summary is based on provisions of ERISA and the Code, as amended through the
date of this prospectus, and relevant regulations and opinions issued by the
Department of Labor. No assurance can be given that legislative or
administrative changes or court decisions may not be forthcoming which would
significantly modify the statements expressed herein. Any changes may or may not
apply to transactions entered into prior to the date of their enactment.

     In considering using the assets of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA to purchase shares, such as a profit-sharing, 401(k), or a pension plan,
or of any other retirement plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code
such as an IRA or Keogh Plan (collectively, "Benefit Plans"), a fiduciary,
taking into account the facts and circumstances of such Benefit Plan, should
consider, among other matters,

      --  whether the investment is consistent with the applicable provisions of
          ERISA and the Code,

      --  whether the investment will produce unrelated business taxable income
          to the Benefit Plan (see "United States Federal Income Tax
          Considerations -- Taxation of Tax-Exempt Entities"), and

      --  the need to value the assets of the Benefit Plan annually.

     Under ERISA, a plan fiduciary's responsibilities include the duty

      --  to act solely in the interest of plan participants and beneficiaries
          and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to them, as well
          as defraying reasonable expenses of plan administration;

      --  to invest plan assets prudently;

      --  to diversify the investments of the plan unless it is clearly prudent
          not to do so; and

      --  to comply with plan documents insofar as they are consistent with
          ERISA.

ERISA also requires that the assets of an employee benefit plan be held in trust
and that the trustee (or a duly authorized named fiduciary or investment
manager) have exclusive authority and discretion to manage and control the
assets of the plan.

     In addition, Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit
specified transactions involving assets of a Benefit Plan and any "party in
interest" or "disqualified person" with respect to that Benefit Plan. These
transactions are prohibited regardless of how beneficial they may be for the
Benefit Plan. The prohibited transactions include the sale, exchange or leasing
of property, the lending of money or the extension of credit between a Benefit
Plan and a party in interest or disqualified person, and the transfer to, or use
by, or for the benefit of, a party in interest, or disqualified person, of any
assets of a Benefit Plan. A fiduciary of a Benefit Plan also is prohibited from
engaging in self-dealing, acting for a person who has an interest adverse to the
plan (other than in the case of most IRAs and some Keogh Plans), or receiving
any consideration for its own account from a party dealing with the plan in a
transaction involving plan assets.

     Furthermore, Section 408 of the Code states that assets of an IRA trust may
not be commingled with other property except in a common trust fund or common
investment fund.

                                       87
<PAGE>   88

PLAN ASSETS

     Neither ERISA nor the Code defines the term "plan assets." However, on
November 13, 1986, the Department of Labor published a final regulation
describing what constitutes the assets of a Benefit Plan when it invests in
specific kinds of entities (29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, the "Regulation"). The
Regulation was generally effective as of March 13, 1987. As discussed below, we
have received an opinion of counsel that, under the final regulations issued by
the Department of Labor, our assets should not be deemed to be "plan assets" if
Benefit Plans invest in shares, assuming the conditions set forth in the opinion
are satisfied.

     Under the Regulation, the assets of corporations, partnerships, or other
entities in which a Benefit Plan makes an equity investment will be deemed to be
assets of the Benefit Plan unless the entity satisfies at least one of the
exceptions to this general rule. The Regulation provides as one exception that
the underlying assets of entities such as CPA(R):14 will not be treated as
assets of a Benefit Plan if the interest the Benefit Plan acquires is a
"publicly-offered security." A publicly-offered security must be

      --  "freely transferable,"

      --  part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more persons who
          are independent of the issuer and one another, and

      --  sold as part of a public offering registered under the Securities Act
          of 1933 and be part of a class of securities registered under the
          Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within a specified time
          period.

     The shares are being sold as part of an offering exception of securities to
the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Exchange Act, and we have represented that the shares will be part of a class
registered under the Securities Exchange Act within the specified time frames.
Any shares purchased, therefore, should satisfy the third criterion of the
publicly offered exemption.

     We have over 100 shareholders. Thus, the second criterion of the publicly
offered exception will be satisfied.

     Whether a security is freely transferable depends upon the particular facts
and circumstances. The shares will be subject to restrictions intended to ensure
that we continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT.
According to the Regulation, where the minimum investment in a public offering
of securities is $10,000 or less, the presence of a restriction on
transferability intended to prohibit transfers which would result in a
termination or reclassification of the entity for state or federal tax purposes
will not ordinarily affect a determination that such securities are freely
transferable. The minimum investment in shares is less than $10,000. Thus, the
restrictions imposed to maintain our status as a REIT should not cause the
shares to not be freely transferable.

     We have obtained an opinion from counsel that the shares should constitute
"publicly-offered securities" and that our underlying assets should not be
considered plan assets under the Regulation assuming the offering takes place as
described in this prospectus.

     In the event that our underlying assets were treated by the Department of
Labor as assets of a Benefit Plan, our management would be treated as
fiduciaries with respect to Benefit Plan shareholders and the prohibited
transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code would apply to any transaction
involving our management and assets, unless an administrative or statutory
exemption under ERISA applies. These restrictions could, for example, require
that we avoid transactions with entities that are affiliated with us or our
affiliates or restructure our activities in order to obtain an exemption from
the prohibited transaction restrictions. Alternatively, we might provide Benefit
Plan shareholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to us or we might
dissolve or terminate.

     If our underlying assets were treated as assets of a Benefit Plan, the
investment in CPA(R):14 also might constitute an ineffective delegation of
fiduciary responsibility to Carey Property Advisors and expose the fiduciary of
the plan to co-fiduciary liability under ERISA for any breach by Carey Property

                                       88
<PAGE>   89

Advisors of its ERISA fiduciary duties. Finally, an investment by an IRA in
CPA(R):14 might result in an impermissible commingling of plan assets with other
property.

     If a prohibited transaction were to occur, the Code imposes an excise tax
equal to 15 percent of the amount involved and authorizes the Internal Revenue
Service to impose an additional 100% excise tax if the prohibited transaction is
not "corrected." These taxes would be imposed on any disqualified person who
participates in the prohibited transaction. In addition, Carey Property Advisors
and possibly other fiduciaries of Benefit Plan shareholders subject to ERISA who
permitted the prohibited transaction to occur or who otherwise breached their
fiduciary responsibilities, or a non-fiduciary participating in a prohibited
transaction, could be required to restore to the plan any profits they realized
as a result of the transaction or breach, and to make good to the plan any
losses incurred by the plan as a result of the transaction or breach. With
respect to an IRA that invests in CPA(R):14, the occurrence of a prohibited
transaction involving the individual who established the IRA, or his or her
beneficiary, would cause the IRA to lose its tax-exempt status under Section
408(e)(2) of the Code.

     In the opinion of counsel, as discussed above, our assets should not
constitute plan assets following an investment in shares by Benefit Plans.
Accordingly, the problems discussed in the preceding three paragraphs are not
expected to arise.

OTHER PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

     Regardless of whether the shares qualify for the "publicly-offered
security" exception of the Regulation, a prohibited transaction could occur if
we, any selected dealer, the escrow agent or any of their affiliates is a
fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of (ERISA) with respect to the
purchase of the shares. Accordingly, unless an administrative or statutory
exemption applies, shares should not be purchased by a Benefit Plan to which any
of the above persons is a fiduciary with respect to the purchase. A person is a
fiduciary to a plan under Section 3(21) of ERISA if, among other things, the
person has discretionary authority or control with respect to plan assets or
provides investment advice for a fee with respect to the assets. Under a
regulation issued by the Department of Labor, a person would be deemed to be
providing investment advice if that person renders advice as to the advisability
of investing in shares and that person regularly provides investment advice to
the plan pursuant to a mutual agreement or understanding (written or otherwise)
that (i) the advice will serve as the primary basis for investment decisions and
(ii) the advice will be individualized for the plan based on its particular
needs.

INVESTMENT IN ESCROW ACCOUNT

     The escrow agent will establish two separate escrow accounts. Benefit Plan
funds will be deposited in one account while funds from all other investors will
be deposited in another account. Pending issuance of the shares to a Benefit
Plan, the escrow agent will invest Benefit Plan funds in a money market account
maintained by the escrow agent. On each closing date, the funds paid by each
Benefit Plan will be released from the Benefit Plan escrow account and exchanged
for the applicable number of shares. Any interest earned by that account prior
to any such closing date will be paid to the investing Benefit Plan.

     In considering an investment in CPA(R):14, a plan fiduciary should consider
whether the escrow account arrangement as well as the ultimate investment in
CPA(R):14 would be consistent with fiduciary standards applicable to that
Benefit Plan.

ANNUAL VALUATION

     A fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA is required to
determine annually the fair market value of each asset of the plan as of the end
of the plan's fiscal year and to file a report reflecting that value. When no
fair market value of a particular asset is available, the fiduciary is to make a
good faith determination of that asset's "fair market value" assuming an orderly
liquidation at the time the determination is made. In addition, a trustee or
custodian of an IRA must provide an IRA
                                       89
<PAGE>   90

participant with a statement of the value of the IRA each year. In discharging
its obligation to value assets of a plan, a fiduciary subject to ERISA must act
consistently with the relevant provisions of the plan and the general fiduciary
standards of ERISA.

     Unless and until the shares are listed on a national securities exchange or
are included for quotation on Nasdaq, it is not expected that a public market
for the shares will develop. To date, neither the Internal Revenue Service nor
the Department of Labor has promulgated regulations specifying how a plan
fiduciary should determine the "fair market value" of the shares under those
circumstances, namely when the fair market value of the shares is not determined
in the marketplace. Therefore, to assist fiduciaries in fulfilling their
valuation and annual reporting responsibilities with respect to ownership of
shares, we intend to provide reports of our annual determinations of the current
value of our net assets per outstanding share to those fiduciaries (including
IRA trustees and custodians) who identify themselves to us and request the
reports. Prior to and for the year ending December 31, 2002, we intend to use
the offering price of shares as the per share net asset value. Thereafter,
beginning with the year 2003, the value of the properties and our other assets
will be based on a valuation. Such valuation will be performed by a person
independent of us and of Carey Property Advisors.

     We anticipate that we will provide annual reports of the determination (i)
to IRA trustees and custodians not later than January 15 of each year, and (ii)
to other qualified plan trustees and custodians within 75 days after the end of
each calendar year. Each determination may be based upon valuation information
available as of October 31 of the preceding year, updated for any material
changes occurring between October 31 and December 31.

     We intend to revise these valuation procedures to conform with any relevant
guidelines that the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor may
hereafter issue. Meanwhile, there can be no assurance

      --  that the value could or will actually be realized by us or by
          shareholders upon liquidation (in part because appraisal or estimated
          value does not necessarily indicate the price at which assets could be
          sold and because no attempt will be made to estimate the expenses of
          selling any of our assets),

      --  that shareholders could realize this value if they were to attempt to
          sell their shares, or

      --  that this value would comply with the ERISA or IRA requirements
          described above.

                             DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

     The following description of the shares does not purport to be complete but
contains a summary of portions of the articles of incorporation and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the articles of incorporation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

     We are authorized to issue 120,000,000 shares, each share having a par
value of $.001. Each share is entitled to participate equally in distributions
when and as declared by the directors and in the distribution of our assets upon
liquidation. Each share is entitled to one vote and will be fully paid and
non-assessable by CPA(R):14 upon issuance and payment therefor. Shares, other
than excess shares, which are defined in the organizational documents to mean
shares held by an investor in excess of 9.8% of the total number of shares
issued and outstanding at the time the shares are acquired, are not subject to
redemption. The shares have no preemptive rights which rights are intended to
insure that a shareholder maintains the same ownership interest (on a percentage
basis) before and after the issuance of additional securities or cumulative
voting rights (which are intended to increase the ability of smaller groups of
shareholders to elect directors). We currently do not intend to issue any
securities other than the shares discussed in this prospectus, although we may
do so upon a vote of the independent directors who do not have an interest in
the transaction and who have access to our counsel. Upon such a vote, we have
the authority to issue shares of any class or securities convertible into shares
of any class or

                                       90
<PAGE>   91

classes, to classify or to reclassify any unissued stock by setting or changing
the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of
redemption of the stock, all as determined by the directors.

     We may apply to list the shares for trading on a national securities
exchange or to include them for quotation on Nasdaq unless the board of
directors (including a majority of the independent directors) deems the listing
or quotation not to be in the best interest of the shareholders. There can be no
assurance that our application will be accepted if made. If the shares are not
listed or included for quotation, the properties generally will be liquidated
beginning within eight years after the net proceeds of this offering are
substantially invested. In making the decision to apply for listing of the
shares, the board will try to determine whether listing the shares or
liquidating CPA(R):14 will result in greater value for the shareholders. Even if
the shares are not so listed or included for quotation, we are under no
obligation to liquidate our portfolio within this period since the precise
timing will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions of
the areas in which the properties are located and federal income tax effects on
shareholders which may prevail in the future. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to liquidate our portfolio and it should be noted
that we will continue our existence until all of our properties are sold and our
other assets are liquidated.

     We will not issue certificates. Shares will be held in "uncertificated"
form which will eliminate the physical handling and safekeeping responsibilities
inherent in owning transferable stock certificates and eliminate the need to
return a duly executed stock certificate to the transfer agent to effect a
transfer. Transfers can be effected simply by mailing to us a duly executed
stock power. Upon the issuance of our shares, we will send to each shareholder a
written statement which will include all information that is required to be
written upon stock certificates under Maryland law.

MEETINGS AND SPECIAL VOTING REQUIREMENTS

     An annual meeting of the shareholders will be held each year, not fewer
than 30 days after delivery of our annual report. Special meetings of
shareholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of the directors,
a majority of the independent directors, the chairman, the president or upon the
written request of shareholders entitled to cast at least 10% of all the votes
entitled to be cast at a meeting. In general, the presence in person or by proxy
of a majority of the outstanding shares, exclusive of excess shares, shall
constitute a quorum. Generally, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
entitled to be voted at a meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to
take shareholder action, except that a plurality of all votes cast at such a
meeting is sufficient to elect a director.

     Our articles of incorporation may be amended by a majority of the board of
directors (including a majority of the independent directors) and approval of
the shareholders at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present. Amendments
affecting the provisions on indemnification of directors and officers,
limitation of personal liability of directors and officers, and limitation on
ownership of shares of CPA(R):14, must be approved by a vote of two-thirds of
the shareholders. In general, our bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of
the shareholders. The limitations on share ownership may only be amended by a
two-thirds majority vote of all outstanding shares. Any amendment to the bylaws
that would reduce the priority of payment or the amount payable to the
shareholders upon liquidation of CPA(R):14 or that would diminish or eliminate
any voting rights require the approval of a two-thirds majority of shares
entitled to vote. Shareholders may, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shareholders entitled to vote on such matter, elect to remove a director from
the board or dissolve CPA(R):14. Shareholders do not have the ability to vote to
replace Carey Property Advisors or to select a new advisor.

     The affirmative vote of a majority of all shares entitled to be cast is
required to approve any merger or sale of substantially all of our assets other
than in the ordinary course of business. The term "substantially all" as used in
this context is a term used in the Maryland Corporation and Association Code.
This code does not include a definition of this term and Maryland case law
suggests that the term be defined on a case-by-case basis. The effect for
investors of the Maryland Code's lack of definition is

                                       91
<PAGE>   92

that we cannot provide investors with a definition for "substantially all" and
therefore shareholders will not know whether a sale of assets will constitute a
sale of substantially all of the assets or whether or not they will have the
right to approve any particular sale. Shareholders objecting to the approval of
any merger or sale of assets are permitted under Maryland law to petition a
court for the appraisal and payment of the fair value of their shares. In an
appraisal proceeding, the court appoints appraisers who attempt to determine the
fair value of the stock as of the date of the shareholder vote on the merger or
sale of assets. The appraisers' report is considered by the court which makes
the final determination of the fair value to be paid to the shareholder and
which decides whether the award of interest from the date of the merger or sale
of assets and costs of the proceeding are to be awarded to the dissenting
shareholder.

     Shareholders are entitled to receive a copy of our shareholder list upon
request provided that the requesting shareholder represents to us that the list
will not be used to pursue commercial interests. The list provided by us will
include the name, address and telephone number (if available) of, and number of
shares owned by, each shareholder and will be in alphabetical order, on white
paper and in easily readable type size and will be sent within ten days of the
receipt by us of the request (or five days if the shareholder first requests a
copy of the representation and returns it to us within 30 days). A shareholder
requesting a list will be required to pay our reasonable cost of postage and
duplication. We will pay the costs incurred and any actual damages suffered by a
shareholder who must compel the production of a list and is successful. Any
shareholder who breaches the terms of the representation provided to us will be
liable to us for any costs or damages resulting from such breach. The list will
be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained
therein.

     The rights of shareholders described above are in addition to and do not
adversely affect rights provided to investors under Rule 14a-7 promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act, which provides that, upon request of investors and
the payment of the expenses of the distribution, we are required to distribute
specific materials to shareholders in the context of the solicitation of proxies
for voting on matters presented to shareholders, or, at our option, provide
requesting shareholders with a copy of the list of shareholders so that the
requesting shareholders may make the distribution themselves.

RESTRICTION ON OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

     In order for us to qualify as a REIT, not more than 50% of our outstanding
shares may be owned by any five or fewer individuals (including some tax-exempt
entities) during the last half of each taxable year, and the outstanding shares
must be owned by 100 or more persons independent of us and each other during at
least 335 days of a 12-month taxable year or during a proportionate part of a
shorter taxable year for which an election to be treated as a REIT is made. We
may prohibit certain acquisitions and transfers of shares so as to facilitate
our continued qualification as a REIT under the Code. However, there can be no
assurance that this prohibition will be effective.

     The articles of incorporation, in order to assist the board in preserving
our status as a REIT, contain an ownership limit which prohibits any person or
group of persons from acquiring, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of
more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares. Shares owned by a person or a group of
persons in excess of the ownership limit are deemed "excess shares." Shares
owned by a person who individually owns of record less than 9.8% of outstanding
shares may nevertheless be excess shares if the person is deemed part of a group
for purposes of this restriction.

     The articles of incorporation stipulate that any purported issuance or
transfer of shares shall be valid only with respect to those shares that do not
result in the transferee-shareholder owning shares in excess of the ownership
limit. If the transferee-shareholder acquires excess shares, the person is
considered to have acted as our agent and holds the excess shares on behalf of
the ultimate shareholder.

     The ownership limit does not apply to offerors which, in accordance with
applicable federal and state securities laws, make a cash tender offer, where at
least 85% of the outstanding shares (not including shares or subsequently issued
securities convertible into common stock which are held by the tender offeror
and/or any "affiliates" or "associates" thereof within the meaning of the
Securities
                                       92
<PAGE>   93

Exchange Act) are duly tendered and accepted pursuant to the cash tender offer.
The ownership limit also does not apply to the underwriter in a public offering
of the shares. The ownership limit does not apply to a person or persons which
the directors so exempt from the ownership limit upon appropriate assurances
that our qualification as a REIT is not jeopardized.

     All persons who own 5% or more of the outstanding shares during any taxable
year will be asked to deliver a statement or affidavit setting forth the number
of shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by these persons. See
"United States Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Statement of Stock
Ownership."

DISTRIBUTIONS

     We intend to declare distributions before each issuance of shares during
this offering and on a quarterly basis. Distributions will be paid to investors
who are shareholders as of the record date selected by the directors.
Distributions will be paid on a quarterly basis regardless of the frequency with
which such distributions are declared. We are required to make distributions
sufficient to satisfy the REIT requirements. Generally, income distributed as
distributions will not be taxable to us under federal income tax laws unless we
fail to comply with the REIT requirements.

     Distributions will be paid at the discretion of the directors, in
accordance with our earnings, cash flow and general financial condition. The
directors' discretion will be directed, in substantial part, by their obligation
to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements. Because we may receive income
from interest or rents at various times during its fiscal year, distributions
may not reflect our income earned in that particular distribution period but may
be made in anticipation of cash flow which we expect to receive during a later
quarter and may be made in advance of actual receipt in an attempt to make
distributions relatively uniform. We can borrow to make distributions if the
borrowing is necessary to maintain our REIT status or if the borrowing is part
of a liquidation strategy to partially or completely liquidate investments in
properties by borrowing against those properties.

     We are not prohibited from distributing our own securities in lieu of
making cash distributions to shareholders, provided that the securities
distributed to shareholders are readily marketable. Shareholders who receive
marketable securities in lieu of cash distributions may incur transaction
expenses in liquidating the securities.

REPURCHASE OF EXCESS SHARES

     We have the authority to redeem excess shares immediately upon becoming
aware of existence of excess shares or after giving the person in whose hands
shares are excess shares 30 days to transfer the excess shares to a person whose
ownership of such shares would not exceed the ownership limit and, therefore,
would no longer be considered excess shares. The price paid upon redemption by
us shall be the lesser of the price paid for such excess shares by the
shareholder in whose possession the redeemed shares were formerly excess shares
or the fair market value of the excess shares. We may purchase excess shares or
otherwise repurchase shares if the repurchase does not impair our capital or
operations.

     W.P. Carey & Co., Carey Property Advisors and their affiliates may not
receive a fee on the purchase of shares.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

     Prior to the time, if any, as the shares are listed on a national
securities market, any shareholder (other than Carey Property Advisors) that has
held his or her shares for at least one year may present all or any portion of
their shares to us for redemption at any time, in accordance with the procedures
outlined herein. At that time, we may, at our option, subject to the conditions
described below, redeem the shares presented for redemption for cash to the
extent we have sufficient funds available, as determined by the board of
directors in its sole discretion. There is no assurance that there will be
sufficient funds available for redemption and, accordingly, a shareholder's
shares may not be redeemed. In addition, Carey Property Advisors will assist
with the identification of prospective third-party buyers.

                                       93
<PAGE>   94

     The board of directors will determine on a quarterly basis whether we have
sufficient excess cash to repurchase shares. Shareholders may offer shares to us
for purchase and we will purchase the offered shares if it has sufficient cash.
We will impose a surrender charge on repurchased shares in accordance with the
following schedule:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
             HOLDING PERIOD OF SHARES                  SURRENDER CHARGE
             ------------------------                  ----------------

9 years...........................................   6% of net asset value
10 years..........................................   5% of net asset value
11 years or more..................................   4% of net asset value
</TABLE>

     The net asset value, for purposes of calculating the purchase price, shall
be $10 per share until we begin having appraisals performed by an independent
third party as of December 31, 2003, at which time the net asset value will be
as determined by the appraiser. The board of directors reserves the right to
adjust the net asset value on a quarterly basis to account for significant
capital transactions.

     If we have sufficient funds to purchase some but not all of the shares
offered, the shareholders holding their shares for the longest amount of time
will be given priority. We will only be able to repurchase shares if it
maintains a currently effective registration statement. While we intend to
maintain an effective registration statement, there can be no assurance that it
will be able to do so. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will have
sufficient funds to repurchase any shares.

     A shareholder who wishes to have his or her shares redeemed must mail or
deliver a written request on a form provided by us and executed by the
shareholder, our trustee or authorized agent. Within 30 days following our
receipt of the shareholder's request, we will forward to the shareholder the
documents necessary to effect the redemption, including any signature guarantee
we may require. Any redemption will be completed for a calendar quarter provided
that we receive the properly completed redemption documents from the shareholder
at least one calendar month prior to the last day of the current calendar
quarter and we have sufficient funds to redeem the shares. The effective date of
any redemption will be the last date during a quarter during which we receive
the properly completed redemption documents. As a result, we anticipate that,
assuming sufficient funds, the effective date of redemptions will be no later
than thirty days after the quarterly determination of the availability of funds.

     A shareholder may present fewer than all his or her shares to us for
redemption, provided, however, that if the shareholder retains any shares, he or
she must retain at least 250 shares (200 shares for an IRA, Keogh Plan or
pension plan). Shares transferred by reason of death will be deemed to have been
held from the time the shares were first acquired.

     The directors, in their sole discretion, may amend or suspend the
redemption plan at any time they determine any amendment or suspension is in our
best interest. The directors may suspend the redemption of shares if

      --  they determine, in their sole discretion, that the redemption impairs
          our capital or operations;

      --  they determine, in their sole discretion, that an emergency makes the
          redemption not reasonably practical;

      --  any governmental or regulatory agency with jurisdiction over us so
          demands for the protection of the shareholders;

      --  they determine, in their sole discretion, that the redemption would be
          unlawful; or

                                       94
<PAGE>   95

      --  they determine, in their sole discretion, that the redemption, when
          considered with all other redemptions, sales, assignments, transfers
          and exchanges of our shares, could cause direct or indirect ownership
          of our shares to become concentrated to an extent which would prevent
          us from qualifying as a REIT under the Code.

For a discussion of the tax treatment of redemptions, see "United States Federal
Income Tax Considerations -- Taxation of Shareholders."

RESTRICTIONS ON ROLL-UP TRANSACTIONS

     In connection with any proposed transaction considered a "Roll-up
Transaction" involving us and the issuance of securities of an entity (a
"Roll-up Entity") that would be created or would survive after the successful
completion of the Roll-up Transaction, an appraisal of all properties shall be
obtained from a competent independent appraiser. The properties shall be
appraised on a consistent basis, and the appraisal shall be based on the
evaluation of all relevant information and shall indicate the value of the
properties as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed
Roll-up Transaction. The appraisal shall assume an orderly liquidation of
properties over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the
independent appraiser shall clearly state that the engagement is for our benefit
and the shareholders. A summary of the appraisal, indicating all material
assumptions underlying the appraisal, shall be included in a report to
shareholders in connection with a proposed Roll-up Transaction. A "Roll-up
Transaction" is transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or
consolidation, directly or indirectly, of CPA(R):14 and the issuance of
securities of a Roll-up Entity. This term does not include:

      --  a transaction involving our securities that have been for at least 12
          months listed on a national securities exchange or included for
          quotation on Nasdaq National Market System; or

      --  a transaction involving the conversion to corporate, trust, or
          association form of only CPA(R):14 if, as a consequence of the
          transaction there will be no significant adverse change in any of the
          following: Shareholder voting rights; the term of our existence;
          compensation to W. P. Carey & Co. or Carey Property Advisors; or our
          investment objectives of CPA(R):14.

     In connection with a proposed Roll-up Transaction, the person sponsoring
the Roll-up Transaction must offer to shareholders who vote "no" on the proposal
the choice of:

          (i) accepting the securities of a Roll-up Entity offered in the
     proposed Roll-up Transaction; or

          (ii) one of the following:

             (A) remaining as shareholders of CPA(R):14 and preserving their
        interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed
        previously, or

             (B) receiving cash in an amount equal to the shareholder's pro rata
        share of the appraised value of our net assets.

     We are prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up Transaction:

          (a) which would result in the shareholders having democracy rights in
     a Roll-up Entity that are less than those provided in the bylaws and
     described elsewhere in this prospectus, including rights with respect to
     the election and removal of directors, annual reports, annual and special
     meetings, amendment of the articles of incorporation, and dissolution of
     CPA(R):14. See "Management," "Reports to Shareholders" and "Description of
     Shares;"

          (b) which includes provisions that would operate to materially impede
     or frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities
     of the Roll-up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve
     the tax status of the Roll-up Entity), or which would limit the ability of
     an investor to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the Roll-up
     Entity on the basis of the number of shares held by that investor;

                                       95
<PAGE>   96

          (c) in which investor's rights to access of records of the Roll-up
     Entity will be less than those provided in the section of this prospectus
     entitled "Description of Shares -- Meetings and Special Voting
     Requirements;" or

          (d) in which any of the costs of the Roll-up Transaction would be
     borne by us if the Roll-up Transaction is not approved by the shareholders.

TRANSFER AGENT

     The transfer agent and registrar for the shares will be
Resource/Phoenix(R). The transfer agent's address is 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San
Rafael, California 94901-5529, and its phone number is 888-241-3737.

                                  THE OFFERING

     Subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Sales Agency Agreement, we are offering to
the public through Carey Financial and selected dealers, on a best efforts
basis, a maximum of $400,000,000 of shares of common stock consisting of
40,000,000 shares priced at $10 per share. The minimum subscription is 250
shares or $2,500 (200 shares or $2,000 for an IRA or a Keogh Plan except for
Iowa tax exempt investors which must make a minimum investment of 250 shares or
$2,500). See "Terms of the Offering." Carey Financial and American Express
Financial Services, Inc. are expected to sell a significant number of shares.

     Carey Financial will receive a selling commission in an amount equal to
$0.60 per share, whether sold directly by it or by one of the selected dealers,
all of whom must be members in good standing of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Carey Financial may, in turn, reallow up to $0.60 per
share of the selling commissions to selected dealers for shares they sell. We
also will reimburse Carey Financial for the amount of any selected dealer fee
paid to selected dealers, which fee may not exceed 1% of the price of each share
sold by the selected dealer. Carey Financial has agreed to pay a selected dealer
fee of 1% to all selected dealers and Carey Financial will receive a selected
dealer fee of 1% for shares sold directly by Carey Financial. We will also pay
Carey Financial a management fee of $.05 per share for managing the offering. In
addition, Carey Financial or selected dealers, in their sole discretion, may
elect not to accept any selling commission we offer for shares that they sell.
In that event, these shares shall be sold to the investor net of all selling
commissions, at a price per share of $9.40. We have agreed to indemnify Carey
Financial and selected dealers against specified liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

     We will offer a reduced share purchase price to "single purchasers" on
orders of more than $250,000 and selling commissions paid to Carey Financial and
selected dealers will be reduced by the amount of the share purchase price
discount. The share purchase price will be reduced for each incremental share
purchased in the total volume ranges set forth in the table below. The reduced
purchase price will not affect the amount we receive for investment. The
following table sets forth the reduced share purchase price and selling
commissions payable to Carey Financial:

     Selling commissions for purchases of $5,000,000 or more will, in our sole
discretion, be reduced to $0.10 per share or less but in no event will the
proceeds to us be less than $9.40 per share. Selling commissions paid will in
all cases be the same for the same level of sales. In the event of a sale of
$5,000,000 or more, we will supplement this prospectus to include (i) the
aggregate amount of the sale, (ii) the price per share paid by the purchaser and
(iii) a statement that other investors wishing to purchase at least the amount
described in (i) will pay no more per share than the initial purchaser.

     Orders may be combined for the purpose of determining the total commissions
payable with respect to applications made by a "single purchaser." The amount of
total commissions thus computed will be apportioned pro rata among the
individual orders on the basis of the respective amounts of the orders being
combined. As used herein, the term "single purchaser" will include

     (1) any person or entity, or persons or entities, acquiring shares as joint
         purchasers,

     (2) all profit-sharing, pension and other retirement trusts maintained by a
         given corporation, partnership or other entity,

     (3) all funds and foundations maintained by a given corporation,
         partnership or other entity,

     (4) all profit-sharing, pension and other retirement trusts and all funds
         or foundations over which a designated bank or other trustee, person or
         entity (except an investment adviser registered under the Investment
         Advisers Act of 1940) exercises discretionary authority with respect to
         an investment in CPA(R):14, and

     (5) all clients of an investment adviser registered under the Investment
         Advisers Act of 1940 who have been advised by that adviser on an
         ongoing basis regarding investments other than in CPA(R):14, and who
         have been advised by such adviser regarding an investment in CPA(R):14.

     In the event a single purchaser described in categories (2) through (5)
above wishes to have its orders so combined, that purchaser will be required to
request the treatment in writing, which request must set forth the basis for the
discount and identify the orders to be combined. Any request will be subject to
our verification that all of the orders were made by a single purchaser.

     Orders also may be combined for the purpose of determining the commissions
payable in the case of orders by any purchaser described in category (1) through
(5) above who, subsequent to its initial purchase of shares, orders additional
shares. In this event, the commission payable with respect to the subsequent
purchase of shares will equal the commission per share which would have been
payable in accordance with the commission schedule set forth above if all
purchases had been made simultaneously. Any reduction of the 6% selling
commission otherwise payable to Carey Financial or a selected dealer will be
credited to the purchaser as additional whole shares. Unless investors indicate
that orders are to be combined and provide all other requested information, we
cannot be held responsible for failing to combine orders properly.

     Carey Property Advisors, its affiliates and their employees and the
selected dealers and their employees may purchase shares net of selling
commissions and we will pay no selling commissions on these shares. Any
purchases by Carey Property Advisors, its affiliates and their employees and the
selected dealers and their employees will be for investment purposes only and
not with the intent to resell the shares. There is no limit on the number of
shares such persons may purchase. There is no limit on the number of shares
purchased by affiliates of Carey Property Advisors and their employees and the
selected dealers and their employees. Any resale of the 20,000 shares currently
owned by Carey Property Advisors or shares it or our affiliates may purchase are
subject to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, which limits
the number of shares which may be resold at any one time and the manner of the
resale.

     We will reimburse Carey Financial for its identified expenses and for
identified expenses of selected dealers reimbursed by Carey Financial, including
the costs of any sales and information meetings of the employees of Carey
Financial and the selected dealers (to the extent Carey Financial reimburses the
selected dealers for the expenses) relating to this offering. Subject to the
satisfactory completion of any regulatory reviews and examinations which may be
required, the rules of the National Association of

                                       97
<PAGE>   98

Securities Dealers, Inc. and the prior review and approval by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and Carey Financial, the selected
dealers (as appropriate), CPA(R):14, Carey Property Advisors or any of their
affiliates may establish sales incentive programs for associated persons of
Carey Financial or selected dealers or may reimburse Carey Financial and
selected dealers for sales incentive programs established by them. Sales
incentives will be deemed to be additional underwriting compensation. Sales
incentives will not be paid in cash and the aggregate value of the non-cash
incentives paid by us and Carey Property Advisors directly to associated persons
during this offering will not exceed $100 per year.

     Carey Financial or other entities will provide wholesaling services to us.
All entities performing wholesaling activities will be required to be properly
licensed to engage in the securities business. These services will include
developing and preparing sales material, conducting broker/dealer seminars,
holding informational meetings and providing information and answering any
questions concerning this offering. We will reimburse Carey Financial for its
identified expenses incurred in coordinating wholesaling activities, including,
but not limited to

      --  travel and entertainment expenses;

      --  compensation of employees of Carey Financial in connection with
          wholesaling activities;

      --  expenses incurred in coordinating broker-dealer seminars and meetings;
          and

      --  wholesaling fees and wholesaling expense reimbursements paid to Carey
          Financial or other entities.

     In no event shall the total underwriting compensation to be paid to Carey
Financial and selected dealers from any source in connection with this offering,
including selling commissions, specified expense reimbursements and payments to
Carey Financial and selected dealers for the wholesaling services referred to
above, exceed 10% of the gross offering proceeds of the offering (plus 0.5% for
bona fide due diligence expenses). The total wholesaling expenses will not
exceed 3% of the gross offering proceeds. Carey Financial and we will monitor
the payment of all fees and expense reimbursements, including the servicing
fees, to assure that this limit is not exceeded.

     In the event all organization and offering expenses, other than selling
commissions, and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to or paid on behalf of the
selected dealers, exceed 4.0% of the gross offering proceeds, the excess will be
paid by Carey Property Advisors with no recourse by or reimbursement to Carey
Property Advisors.

     Every prospective investor desiring to purchase shares will be required to
comply with the procedures for ordering shares we imposed, Carey Financial and
the selected dealer from whom the investor intends to purchase shares. Carey
Financial and certain selected dealers will require an order form, a specimen of
which is attached to this prospectus, to be completed and delivered together
with a check payable to the escrow agent for the aggregate purchase price of the
shares ordered. Residents of Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, and North Carolina must complete and execute an order form.
Selected dealers will submit the checks directly to the escrow agent by noon of
the business day following receipt. Investors will receive a copy of this
prospectus on or before the day the order form is completed. Investors may
revoke their subscription, for five days following the receipt of this
prospectus.

     Some selected dealers may offer investors alternate procedures for
purchasing shares. Under the alternative procedures, the investor must maintain
an account with the selected dealers or open the account at no charge. An
investor may then purchase shares by contacting his or her broker and indicating
the amount of his or her desired investment in shares. If the investor has not
already received a copy of this prospectus, Carey Financial or a selected dealer
will forward a copy of this prospectus to the investor. Carey Financial or a
selected dealer will notify the investor that the full amount of the purchase
price payment must be in the investor's account by a specified settlement date,
which shall occur within five business days after the notice to the investor and
at least five days after the investor

                                       98
<PAGE>   99

has received a copy of this prospectus. An investor's account will be charged
the amount of the investment on the settlement date. For investors in all
jurisdictions, by noon of the next business day following the date funds are
debited, the funds debited from the investor's account will be sent to the
escrow agent for deposit in the escrow account we established for this offering.
In addition, investors may be able to direct that any distributions we pay be
invested directly into a mutual fund. Prior to the settlement date, the investor
may withdraw his order by notifying his broker at Carey Financial or the
selected dealer.

     On or after the settlement date, investors will have no right to withdraw
any funds submitted to the escrow agent during this offering period. We have the
unconditional right in our sole discretion to accept or reject any order or any
part thereof within 30 days of receipt of the order. If we reject any order or
any part thereof, we will notify the investor in writing thereof and arrange for
the escrow agent to promptly return to the investor the entire purchase price or
portion thereof which was rejected, along with any interest earned thereon. If
we accept an order, the investor will receive a notice of acceptance. Shares
will be evidenced on our books and records, which will include a list of
shareholders' names, addresses and number of shares owned. An investor will not
receive a share certificate or other evidence of his interest in CPA(R):14
unless the shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for
quotation on Nasdaq.

ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS

     All funds received by Carey Financial and the selected dealers from orders
will be placed promptly in an interest-bearing escrow account with the escrow
agent at our expense until these funds are released as described below. Separate
escrow accounts will be established for benefit plan funds and all other funds.
Payment for shares are to be sent to the escrow agent at The United States Trust
Company of New York, 770 Broadway, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10003,
Attention: Ana Espinosa. These funds will be held in trust for the benefit of
investors to be used for the purposes set forth in this prospectus. The escrow
agent will be given the right to invest non-benefit plan funds in United States
government securities, certificates of deposit or other time or demand deposits
of commercial banks which have a net worth of at least $100,000,000 or in which
the certificates or deposits are fully insured by any Federal or state
government agency. Benefit plan funds will be invested in a money market account
maintained by the escrow agent. The interest, if any, earned on escrow funds
prior to the transmittal of the proceeds to us will not become part of our
capital. Instead, within 15 days following each issuance of shares, CPA(R):14
will cause the escrow agent to make distributions to shareholders of all
interest earned on their escrowed funds used to purchase the shares. We may, as
security for borrowings made from third parties, assign its right to receive up
to 85% of the funds then held in escrow (not including funds held on behalf of
benefit plans).

     Funds received by us from prospective investors will continue to be placed
in escrow during this offering and we will issue additional shares periodically
(but not less often than quarterly) as agreed between us and Carey Financial.
This offering will terminate at the time all shares being offered are sold or
unsold shares are withdrawn from registration by order of the board, but in no
case later than November 16, 2001.

                            REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

     We provide periodic reports to shareholders regarding our operations over
the course of the year. Financial information contained in all reports to
shareholders will be prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Tax information will be mailed to
the shareholders by January 31 of each year. Our annual report, which will
include financial statements audited and reported upon by independent public
accountants, will be furnished within 120 days following the close of each
fiscal year. The annual financial statements will contain or be accompanied by a
complete statement of any transactions with W. P. Carey & Co., Carey Property
Advisors or its affiliates and of compensation and fees paid or payable by us to
Carey Property Advisors

                                       99

and its affiliates. Summary information regarding our quarterly financial
results will be furnished to shareholders on a quarterly basis.

     Investors have the right under applicable Federal and Maryland laws to
obtain information about us and, at their expense, may obtain a list of names
and addresses of all of the shareholders. See "Description of Shares -- Meetings
and Special Voting Requirements." Shareholders also have the right to inspect
and duplicate our appraisal records. In the event that the Securities and
Exchange Commission promulgates rules and/or in the event that the applicable
guidelines of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. are
amended so that, taking these changes into account, our reporting requirements
are reduced, we may cease preparing and filing some of the aforementioned
reports if the directors determine this action to be in the best interests of
CPA(R):14 and if this cessation is in compliance with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities law and
regulations, both as then amended.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

     Certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by Reed Smith Shaw &
McClay LLP, 2500 One Liberty Place, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Reed Smith
Shaw & McClay LLP will rely as to matters of Maryland law on an opinion of Piper
Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe LLP, Baltimore, Maryland.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated and Subsidiaries:

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated and Subsidiaries at December 31,
1998 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
period from inception (June 4, 1997) to December 31, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility
of Carey Property Advisors, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the "Advisor");
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Advisor, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

         CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 14 INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  Basis of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corporate
Property Associates 14 Incorporated, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a
majority interest in two limited liability companies (collectively, the
"Company"). All material inter-entity transactions have been eliminated.

  Use of Estimates:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. The most significant estimates will relate to the
assessment of recoverability of real estate assets and investments. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

  Real Estate Leased to Others:

     Real estate is leased to others on a net lease basis, whereby the tenant is
generally responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property,
including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, renewals and
improvements.

     The Company diversifies its real estate investments among various corporate
tenants engaged in different industries and by property type throughout the
United States.

     The leases are accounted for under either the operating or direct financing
method. Such methods are described below:

          Operating method -- Real estate is recorded at cost, revenue is
     recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease and
     expenses (including depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred.

          Direct financing method -- Leases accounted for under the direct
     financing method are recorded at their net investment (Note 5). Unearned
     income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms so as to
     produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment
     in the lease.

     The Company assesses the recoverability of its real estate assets and
investments, including residual interests based on projections of undiscounted
cash flows over the life of such assets. In the event that such cash flows are
insufficient, the assets will be adjusted to their estimated fair value.

     Substantially all of the Company's leases provide for either scheduled rent
increases or periodic rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in
the Consumer Price Index ("CPI").

     For properties under construction, interest charges, if any, are
capitalized rather than expensed and rentals received are recorded as a
reduction of capitalized project (i.e., construction) costs.

  Depreciation:

     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the properties -- generally 40 years.

  Equity Investments:

     The Company's interests in five limited liability companies in which its
ownership interests are 50% or less are accounted for under the equity method,
i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by the Company's share of earnings or
losses, less distributions.

  Cash Equivalents:

     The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are
both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of generally three months
or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash
equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds. Substantially all
of the Company's cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 and 1999 were
held in the custody of two financial institutions, and which balances at times
exceed federally insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing
funds with major financial institutions.

  Other Assets:

     Included in other assets are deferred rental income and deferred charges.
Deferred rental income is the aggregate difference for operating method leases
between scheduled rents which vary during the lease term and rent recognized on
a straight-line basis. Deferred charges are costs incurred in connection with
mortgage refinancing and are amortized over the terms of the mortgages.

  Offering Costs:

     Costs incurred in connection with the raising of capital through the sale
of common stock are charged to shareholders' equity upon the issuance of shares.

  Treasury Stock:

     Treasury stock is recorded at cost

  Deferred Acquisition Fees:

     Fees are payable for services provided by Carey Property Advisors (the
"Advisor") to the Company relating to the identification, evaluation,
negotiation, financing and purchase of properties. A portion of such fees are
deferred and are payable in annual installments with each installment equal to
 .25% of the purchase price of the properties over no less than eight years
following the first anniversary of the date a property was purchased. Payment of
such fees is subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines (see Note 3).

  Earnings Per Share:

     The Company has a simple equity capital structure with only common stock
outstanding. As a result, the Company has presented basic per-share amounts only
for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

  Federal Income Taxes:

     The Company qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT"). The Company is not subject to Federal income taxes,
provided it distributes at least 95% of its REIT taxable income to its
shareholders and meets certain other conditions necessary to retain REIT status.

  Operating Segments

     Accounting standards have been established for the way public business
enterprises report selected information about operating segments and guidelines
for defining the operating segment of an enterprise. Based on the standards'
definitions, the Company has concluded that it engages in a single operating
segment.

2.  ORGANIZATION AND OFFERING:

     The Company was formed on June 4, 1997 under the General Corporation Law of
Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning
industrial and commercial real estate. Subject to certain restrictions and
limitations, the business of the Company is managed by the Advisor.

     An initial offering of the Company's shares which commenced on November 10,
1997 concluded on November 10, 1999 at which time the Company had issued an
aggregate of 29,440,594 shares ($294,405,940). On November 17, 1999, the Company
commenced an offering for a maximum of 40,000,000 shares of common stock. The
shares are being offered to the public on a "best efforts" basis at a price of
$10 per share. The initial issuance of shares under the second offering occurred
on February 23, 2000 at which time 3,383,846 shares ($33,838,460) were issued.

     In connection with performing services relating to the Company's real
estate purchases, affiliates of the Company received acquisition fees of
$581,726 and $1,282,550 in 1998 and 1999, respectively.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:

     The Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement with the Advisor
pursuant to which the Advisor performs certain services for the Company
including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition
of property, the day-to-day management of the Company and the performance of
certain administrative services. The Advisor and certain affiliates will receive
fees and compensation in connection with the offering and the operation of the
Company as described in the Prospectus of the Company.

     An affiliate of the Company received structuring and development fees of
$1,454,315 and $3,206,374, in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The affiliate is also
entitled to receive deferred acquisition fees. As of December 31, 1999, deferred
acquisition fees totaled $5,905,602. The deferred acquisition fees are payable
in equal installments over a period of no less than eight years with the initial
installment applicable to transactions completed in 1998 paid in January 2000.
The initial installment for transactions completed in 1999 is not payable until
January 2001.

     The Company's interests in properties jointly held with affiliates range
from 33 1/3% to 60%. Ownership interests in limited liability companies owned
with affiliates in which the Company's ownership interest is 50% or less are
accounted for under the equity method. Ownership interests in limited liability
companies which are greater than 50% are consolidated with the ownership
interest of the affiliate accounted for as a minority interest. The Company will
account for any individual interests in assets and liabilities relating to
tenants-in-common interests on a proportional basis.

     The Company's asset management and performance fees payable to the Advisor
are each 1/2 of 1% per annum of Average Invested Assets, as defined in the
Advisory Agreement. Until 7% cumulative rate of cash flow from operations, as
defined in the Advisory Agreement, is achieved, the Advisor will not be entitled
to receive the performance fee. The Company, however, is recognizing performance
fee expense currently. At such time as the Advisor is entitled to receive the
performance fee, the Advisor will have the option of electing to receive the fee
in cash or restricted shares of the Company. As of December 31, 1999, the
cumulative cash flow from operations criterion had not been achieved. Unpaid

fees are accrued and included in accounts payable to affiliates in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1999, the fees of $129,746 and $730,285, respectively. Performance fees
were in like amount. General and administrative expense reimbursement consists
primarily of the actual cost of personnel needed in providing administrative
services. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 general and
administrative reimbursements were $370,000 and $415,353, respectively. No fees
or reimbursements were incurred in 1997.

     The Advisor shall reimburse the Company at least annually for the amount by
which operating expenses of the Company exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines (2% of
Average Invested Assets or 25% of net income) as defined in the Advisory
Agreement. To the extent that operating expenses payable or reimbursable by the
Company exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines and the independent directors find that
such expenses were justified based on such unusual and nonrecurring factors
which they deem sufficient, the Advisor may be reimbursed in future years for
the full amount or any portion of such excess expenses, but only to the extent
such reimbursement would not cause the Company's operating expenses to exceed
the 2%/25% Guidelines in any such year.

15 years after the earlier of the completion of the expansion or December 1,
2001 with two ten-year renewal terms at Amerix's option. Annual rent will
initially be $2,197,475 and will increase by $355,250 upon completion of the
expansion, subject to a reduction if the project costs for the expansion cost
are less than $3,500,000. The lease provides for rent increases on the sixth

The first rent increase is capped at a maximum of 12.5% and each increase
thereafter is capped at a maximum of 5%. The lease provides Atrium with purchase
options on the 15th and 20th lease anniversaries with such option exercisable at

commencing February 2000, with monthly principal and interest payments of
$102,786, thereafter. The loan matures on January, 2010 at which time a balloon

  Barjan Products LLC

     On February 3, 2000, the Company purchased land and a building under
construction in Rock Island, Illinois and entered into net lease and
construction agency agreements with Barjan Products L.L.C. ("Barjan"). Total
purchase price and construction costs are expected to be approximately
$11,900,000. During the construction period, Barjan will pay monthly
installments based on an amount indexed to project costs advanced by the
Company. Upon the earlier of completion of construction or October 1, 2000, a
lease term of sixteen years with a ten-year renewal term at Barjan's option will
commence at an expected annual rent of $1,164,286 if the entire estimated
funding of the build-to-suit project is required. The lease provides for stated
rent increases of 6% every three years during the initial term of the lease.

  Stellex Technologies, Inc.

     On February 24, 2000, the Company purchased two properties in North
Amityville, New York and Valencia, California for $19,329,988 and entered into
net leases with two subsidiaries of Stellex Technologies, Inc. ("Stellex"). The
lease obligations of the subsidiaries are unconditionally guaranteed be Stellex.
The leases have initial terms of twenty years with two ten-year renewal terms at
the option of the lessees. Combined annual rent under the Stellex leases is
$1,886,934 with rent increases every two years based on a formula indexed to the
CPI.

13.  DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

     The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.

     In conjunction with structuring its leases with certain tenants, the
Company was granted warrants that will allow the company to purchase common
stock of the tenant company at a stated price. To the extent that the tenant
companies are not publicly traded companies, the warrants are judged at the time
of issuance to be speculative in nature and a nominal cost basis is attributed
to them. The Company believes that it is not practicable to estimate the fair
value of its stock warrants for closely-held companies.

     The Company estimates that the fair value of mortgage notes payable at
December 31, 1999 was approximately $48,181,000. The fair value of debt
instruments was evaluated using a discounted cash flow model with discount rates
that take into account the credit of the tenants and interest rate risk.

14.  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective January 1, 2000, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. The
Company believes that upon adoption SFAS will not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
