                  CORNERSTONE PROPERTIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994


1. NATURE OF COMPANY'S BUSINESS
   AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


   Investment Property
   -------------------
   The costs of the buildings, garages and improvements are being depreciated on
   the straight-line  method over their estimated useful lives,  ranging from 20
   years for electrical and mechanical  installations to 40 years for structural
   components.  Tenant  improvements  are being  amortized over the terms of the
   related leases.

   Cornerstone  and  the  real  estate  partnerships  hold  the  Properties  for
   long-term   investment  and  such   investments  are  carried  at  cost  less
   accumulated depreciation. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, whenever events or
   changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not
   be  recoverable  (such as a  significant  adverse  action by a regulator or a
   significant  physical  change in the  property),  the Company's  policy is to
   assess any  impairment  in value by making a  comparison  of the  current and
   projected  cash  flows  of each  property  over  its  remaining  useful  life
   (undiscounted and without interest  charges),  to the carrying amount of each
   property. Such carrying amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect an
   impairment in value of the property.  No such adjustment has been made in the
   accompanying financial statements.
