Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)

                  CORNERSTONE PROPERTIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1998

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

Nature of the Company's Business

      Cornerstone Properties Inc. is a self-advised equity real estate
investment trust ("REIT"). On January 20, 1998, Cornerstone Properties Inc.
formed Cornerstone Properties Limited Partnership, an umbrella partnership REIT
("UPREIT" or "Operating Partnership") in which it has the sole general
partnership and limited partnership interests. As part of the UPREIT formation,
substantially all of Cornerstone Properties Inc.'s interests in the Properties
were transferred to the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership.
Cornerstone Properties Inc. owns directly or indirectly (through its
wholly-owned REIT subsidiary, CORPRO Real Estate Management, Inc.) 99.17% of the
outstanding units of partnership interest ("UPREIT units") in the Operating
Partnership (excluding certain preferred units owned by Cornerstone Properties
Inc.). Cornerstone Properties Inc. and the Operating Partnership are
collectively referred to as "Cornerstone" or the "Company". The Company owns
interests in 19 Class A office properties ("Properties") encompassing
approximately 11 million rentable square feet.

General

      The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In
the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring accruals, necessary to summarize fairly the unaudited results
of operations for the three month period presented have been included. Results
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for any other interim periods or for the year as a
whole. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

      The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Cornerstone,
its wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiary and controlled partnerships. NWC
Limited Partnership ("NWC"), Third and University Limited Partnership ("Third
Partnership"), Two Twenty Two Berkeley Venture ("222 Berkeley"), Five Hundred
Boylston West Venture ("500 Boylston") and One Ninety One Peachtree Associates
("191 Peachtree") have been consolidated because Cornerstone has a majority
interest in the economic benefits and is or has the right to become managing
general partner at its sole discretion. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Real Estate Held for Sale

      Included in Investments is the Frick Building located in Pittsburgh, PA,
which was held for sale by the Company as of January 1, 1998. The property is
valued at approximately $27.4 million, which is reflected at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.


                                  Page 5 of 22

Reclassifications

      Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
March 31, 1998 financial statement presentation.

Minority Interest

      Minority Interest in operating partnership relates to the interest in the
Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company, which currently amounts
to .83%. Income is allocated to the minority interest based on the weighted
average percentage ownership through the year. Persons contributing assets to
the Operating Partnership received UPREIT Units. The Operating Partnership will,
at the request of a Unitholder, be obligated to redeem each UPREIT Unit held by
such Unitholder for, at the option of the Company, (i) one share of the
Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") or (ii) cash equal to the fair
market value of one share of Common Stock at the time of redemption. Such
redemptions will cause the Company's percentage ownership in the Operating
Partnership to increase. As of March 31, 1998, the number of issued and
outstanding UPREIT Units held by Unitholders other than the Company was 822,794
(.83%) and as of such date, no UPREIT Units have been exchanged for shares of
Common Stock.

      Minority Interest in real estate joint ventures represents the Company's
partner's capital account balances in NWC, Third Partnership, 222 Berkeley, 500
Boylston and 191 Peachtree. Debit balances in certain of these capital accounts
originated through special cash distributions in excess of the partner's share
of income in accordance with certain provisions of the respective partnership
agreements. Realizability of the debit balances is continually monitored by
analyzing pro forma sales proceeds calculations, whose terms are specified in
the respective partnership agreements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      During 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") and Statement of
Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. In addition, the Emerging Issues Task Force
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Issue No. 97-11,
"Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions"
("EITF 97-11").

      SOP 98-5 requires that certain costs incurred in conjunction with start-up
activities should be expensed. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on whether the costs
of computer software developed or obtained for internal use should be
capitalized or expensed. EITF 97-11 requires that the internal pre-acquisition
costs of identifying and acquiring operating property be expensed as incurred.

      Management believes that, when adopted, SOP 98-5 and SOP 98-1 will not
have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. EITF 97-11 was
adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.

      During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). The adoption of SFAS 130 did not
have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.


                                  Page 6 of 22

Estimates and Risks

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 and assumptions are related to
the recoverability and depreciable lives of investment property and the
recoverability of deferred tenant receivables. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

      In the ordinary course of business, the Company is in the process of
acquiring new accounting and property management software that will eliminate
year 2000 software concerns at the corporate level. The new software is expected
to be installed by the fourth quarter of 1998. Management is in the process of
completing a survey with all of its property managers to make sure there are no
year 2000 issues at any of the property management firms that manage its
Properties. Currently, Cornerstone is not aware of any year 2000 issues that
would have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations
of the Company.

- --------

(A)   While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns Norwest
      Center is 50%, its economic interest in the Property is significantly
      larger due to priority distributions it receives on its invested capital
      base. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's share of
      earnings and cash distributions from the partnership that owns Norwest
      Center was 81.5%.

(B)   While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns
      Washington Mutual Tower is 50%, its economic interest in the Property is
      significantly larger due to priority distributions it receives on its
      invested capital base. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the
      Company received 100% of the cash distributions from the partnership that
      owns Washington Mutual Tower.

(C)   On January 5, 1998, the Company purchased the remaining participation
      rights in the cash flow and residual value of Tower 56 from the former
      participants for 307,692 shares of Common Stock. All cash flow and the
      residual value of Tower 56 will now inure to the Company.

(D)   While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns 191
      Peachtree Street is 80%, its economic interest is significantly larger
      because it has acquired the first mortgage note on the Property in the
      amount of $145 million, which earns interest at 9.375% and will receive a
      priority distribution on its acquired capital base. In addition, in 1997,
      the partner in the transaction, CH Associates, Ltd., received an annual
      incentive distribution of $250,000, which it will continue to receive
      under the partnership agreement through February 28, 2000, with the
      Company receiving the remainder of the cash flow of the Property.

(E)   The partnership that owns 191 Peachtree Street has a ground lease
      agreement for a portion of the land upon which the project has been
      constructed. The agreement requires annual payments of $5,000 through
      January 31, 1998, $45,000 through January 31, 2002 and $75,000 through
      January 31, 2008. Thereafter, the annual rent increases $2,500 per year
      until the expiration date of January 31, 2087. The partnership records
      ground rental expense relating to this agreement on a straight-line basis.
      The ground lease is renewable for an additional 99 years.

(F)   In January 1998, the Company acquired partnership interests with a stated
      interest of approximately 59% in the partnerships that own Market Square,
      with the option to purchase an additional 1%. The Company's economic
      interest is significantly larger because it has acquired the first
      mortgage note on the Property in the amount of $181 million, which earns
      interest at 9.75% and will receive a priority distribution on its acquired
      capital base. In addition, the Company acquired a "buffer loan", with
      accrued principal and interest of $46.2 million, which accrues interest at
      a rate of 11% per annum and is payable from cash flow, refinancing or
      sales proceeds from Market Square in excess of the first mortgage. During
      the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company received 100% of the
      cash flow from the Property.

(G)   Distributions of cash flow and sales and refinancing proceeds are shared
      in proportion to the Company's 91.5% partnership interest and Hines
      Interests Limited Partnership's and/or its affiliates' ("Hines") 8.5%
      partnership interest.

(H)   On December 31, 1997, Cornerstone purchased the second mortgage on Sixty
      State Street located in the heart of Boston's Central Business District.
      The mortgage is a cash flow mortgage through which all the economic
      benefits/risks (subject to the first mortgage) will inure to the Company.
      The Company will control all major decisions regarding management and
      leasing. The total purchase price for the second mortgage was $131.5
      million. The $78.4 million first mortgage on the Property has been
      recorded by the Company as an $89.6 million liability due to its
      above-market interest rate. Cornerstone will account for the transaction
      as an equity investment in real estate.

(I)   The second mortgage, which the Company holds, relates only to the
      improvements on Sixty State Street in Boston. The ground under Sixty State
      Street is leased to the leasehold owner, Marshall Field, through December
      28, 2067. The lease payments on the ground lease are $398,896 per annum
      throughout the term.

(J)   On January 28, 1998, the Company purchased Corporate 500 Centre in
      Deerfield, Illinois. Constructed between 1986 and 1990, Corporate 500
      Centre consists of four Class A office buildings, comprising approximately
      680,000 rentable square feet. The total purchase price of the Property was
      approximately $150 million, approximately $15 million of which was paid in
      UPREIT Units priced at $18.50 per unit. The Company financed a portion of
      the costs to acquire the Property with an $80 million mortgage loan from
      Bankers Trust Company at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points.
      The mortgage loan will mature on July 20, 2002. The Company has also
      entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Bankers Trust Company
      that has effectively fixed the interest rate on the mortgage loan at
      6.63%. This swap is considered a hedge for federal income tax purposes.

On March 31, 1998, the Dearborn Land, an undeveloped parcel of land in Chicago
that was acquired in October 1997 along with nine Class A office properties from
Stichting Pensioenfonds Voor de Gezondheid Geestelijke en Maatschappelijke
Belangen ("PGGM") and Dutch Institutional Holding Company, Inc. ("DIHC"), was
sold for gross proceeds of approximately $18,790,000, resulting in a loss of
$212,228.

3. EQUITY IN REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURE

      During January 1998, the Company purchased a 99% interest in Market Square
Development Investors ("MSDI"). MSDI owns an 85.71% interest in Market Square
Associates ("MSA"), which owns a 70% interest in Avenue Associates Limited
Partnership ("AALP"). AALP owns and operates Market Square. The Company's
investment is accounted for under the equity method. The following table
provides summary level balance sheet and income and expense information as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998, respectively, for
the MSA entity (in thousands):

                                                         1998
                                                       --------
Total Assets, primarily investments in real estate     $175,431
Total Liabilities, primarily notes payable              232,402
Revenues, primarily office and parking rentals            6,935
Net Loss                                                 (2,111)

      The amount recorded as equity in loss of real estate joint venture
includes the net loss of MSA from January 30, 1998 through March 31, 1998, plus
adjustments for straight-line rent and interest expense.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
consolidated debt obligations of the Company as of March 31, 1998, including
mortgage obligations relating to the Properties. All of this debt, with the
exception of the Convertible Promissory Note due 2001, is nonrecourse to the
Company. However, notwithstanding the nonrecourse indebtedness, the lender may
have the right to recover deficiencies from the Company in certain
circumstances, including fraud, misappropriation of funds and environmental
liabilities.

(A)   The lender, Hines, has the right to convert the note into Common Stock at
      a conversion price of $14.30 per share. At maturity, the Company is
      entitled to repay the principal of the note with Common Stock priced at
      the lesser of $14.30 per share or the then-existing share price.


                                  Page 9 of 22
<PAGE>

(B)   Lesser of 30-day LIBOR plus 0.5% or 8.11%.

(C)   No prepayment until July 24, 1998. From July 24, 1998 through July 23,
      2000, the prepayment fee is the greater of 1% of the outstanding principal
      balance or Treasury Yield Maintenance (as defined). Beginning July 24,
      2000, the prepayment fee is Treasury Yield Maintenance. The loan may be
      repaid at par during the last 90 days of the loan.

(D)   No prepayment rights through September 30, 1998. Prepayable thereafter,
      with a prepayment fee equal to the greater of: (1) 1.0% of the outstanding
      principal balance or (2) Treasury Yield Maintenance (as defined).
      Prepayment without fee for the six months prior to the maturity date.

(E)   Interest only payments through January 1, 2001, with a 25-year
      amortization schedule thereafter.

(F)   Beginning July 1, 1999, the prepayment fee is the greater of Treasury
      Yield Maintenance (as defined) or 1% of the outstanding principal balance.
      Prepayment without fee on or after three months prior to maturity date.

(G)   Open to prepayment after December 31, 1999, with a prepayment fee equal to
      the greater of 1.0% of the principal balance or Treasury Yield Maintenance
      (as defined). Prepayment without fee during the three months prior to the
      maturity date.

(H)   The four notes arising from the acquisition of several properties from
      DIHC are cross-collateralized, having the effect of forming a "collateral
      pool" for the underlying notes.

(I)   The collateral for this loan is a pledge of the $181 million first
      mortgage loan on Market Square which the Company purchased from PGGM.

(J)   While the face amount of the loan is $78,420,000, because the interest
      rate is 9.5%, the Company has recorded the debt at $89,630,000, which is
      the market value of the loan at the time of the closing based upon a
      market interest rate for similar quality loans of 6.84%.

(K)   Beginning February 1, 2000, the prepayment fee is equal to the greater of
      2% of the outstanding principal balance or Treasury Yield Maintenance (as
      defined). The 2% maximum is reduced by 0.25% per annum thereafter until it
      reaches 1%. The loan is prepayable during the last 90 days.

(L)   The interest rate on the loan is LIBOR plus 100 basis points. However, the
      Company has entered into an interest rate swap with Bankers Trust Company
      that effectively fixes the interest rate at 6.63%.

      Since most of the long term debt is property related, there are
restrictive covenants that limit the total amount of indebtedness that can be
placed on individual properties.

5. CREDIT FACILITY

      The Company has a $350 million Revolving Credit Facility with Bankers
Trust Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank for acquisitions and general working
capital purposes as well as the issuance of letters of credit. The interest rate
on the line of credit depends on the Company's leverage ratio at the time of
borrowing and will be at a spread of 1.10% to 1.40% over LIBOR or the Prime Rate
at the borrower's option. The letters of credit will be priced at the applicable
Eurodollar credit spread. The line of credit expires on October 27, 2000. As of
March 31, 1998, none of the credit line was outstanding. The line of credit
contains certain restrictive covenants including; (i) a limitation on the
Company's dividend to 90% of funds from operations and 110% of cash available
for distribution; (ii) total liabilities to total property asset value cannot
exceed 55%; (iii) adjusted EBITDA to interest expense may not be less than 2.25
to 1.00; (iv) fixed charge coverage may not be less than 1.75 to 1.00; and (v)
total property asset value to secured indebtedness may not be less than 2.50 to
1.00.

gross proceeds less an underwriting discount of $13,728,125 and expenses of
approximately $750,000). The net proceeds were used to repay outstanding
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and for working capital purposes.

Item 2

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
             OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidation

Cornerstone's principal source of income is rental revenues received through its
investment in twelve fee simple properties, six real estate partnerships and
one mortgage. NWC Limited Partnership, Third and University Limited Partnership,
One Ninety One Peachtree Associates, Two Twenty Two Berkeley Venture and Five
Hundred Boylston West Venture have been consolidated because Cornerstone has a
majority interest in the economic benefits and is or has the right to become
managing general partner at its sole discretion. The Company has accounted for
its investment in Market Square Associates using the equity method because it
does not have sufficient control of the day to day operations of the
partnership.

Property Results

For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, property results can be
summarized as follows (000's):

                                        =======         =======

The increase in property income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the same period in 1997 of $22.5 million was due to the additional
revenues derived from 11 properties acquired since March 31, 1997 ($22.0
million), and an increase in revenues from 527 Madison Avenue because it was
purchased in February 1997 ($0.7 million). These increases were offset by a
slight reduction in property income at the existing properties ($0.2 million).

Equity in Loss of Real Estate Joint Venture

The equity in loss of real estate joint venture of $0.9 million in the first
quarter of 1998 was due to the acquisition of the partnership interest in Market
Square in January 1998.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income increased to $7,298,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $1,509,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. These
amounts primarily consist of interest earned from mortgage note receivable,
short-term investments, note receivable from partner and income from advisory
contracts in 1997. The increase was due to the purchase of the mortgage note on
Market Square in late 1997 ($5.3 million), an


                                 Page 13 of 22
<PAGE>

increase in management and other income ($1.1 million), and lease cancellation
payments ($0.1 million). These amounts were offset by a reduction in interest
income on short-term investments due to the Company having excess cash from its
preferred stock placement that occurred in late 1996 ($0.5 million), and a
reduction due to the expiration of certain advisory contracts in 1997 ($0.2
million).

Interest Expense

Interest expense incurred by Cornerstone relating to its financing activities
was $15,915,000 and $7,637,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due to the interest
expense on the purchase money loans from the DIHC transaction ($4.4 million), an
increase in interest expense on the Revolving Credit Facility ($1.6 million), an
increase in amortization of deferred financing costs ($0.2 million), interest on
the Sixty State Street loan ($1.5 million), and interest on the Corporate 500
Centre loan ($0.9 million). These increases were offset by the Term Loan
interest in the first quarter of 1997, as discussed below ($0.4 million).

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company currently has an $80.0 million interest rate swap outstanding to
protect it from interest rate fluctuations which could affect its floating rate
debt on Corporate 500 Centre. The swap effectively fixes the interest rate on
the $80.0 million loan at 6.63% through its maturity in July 2002. The swap is a
hedge for federal income tax purposes.

General and Administrative Expenses

The aggregate amount of Cornerstone's general and administrative expenses have
increased to $2,586,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$1,637,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in 1998 from
1997 of $0.9 million is due to the additional employees, space, systems and
other support necessary to manage the substantial growth in assets of the
Company during the most recent twelve-month period.

Loss on Sale on Land

On March 31, 1998, the Dearborn Land, an undeveloped parcel of land in Chicago
that was acquired in October 1997 along with nine Class A office properties from
Stichting Pensioenfonds Voor de Gezeondheid Geestelijke en Maatschappelijke
Belangen ("PGGM") and Dutch Institutional Holding Company, Inc. ("DIHC"), was
sold for gross proceeds of approximately $18,790,000, resulting in a loss of
$212,228.

Minority Interest

The increase in minority interest to $1.2 million from $476,000 is due to the
allocation of income to the UPREIT unitholders and the purchase of the
partnership interests in 500 Boylston Street, 222 Berkeley Street and 191
Peachtree Street.

</TABLE>

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $44,429,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $12,490,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The increase is due to the cash flows from the interests in 11
properties acquired since the end of the first quarter of 1997.

Cash used in investing activities increased to $126,089,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $69,703,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
due to the acquisition of Corporate 500 Centre for approximately $135.0 million
(net of UPREIT Units), the acquisition of the partnership interest in Market
Square for $5.1 million and other property additions of approximately $4.8
million. These investments were partially offset by the $18.8 million in
proceeds from the sale of the Dearborn Land. During 1997, the Company invested
approximately $67.0 million in 527 Madison Avenue and approximately $2.7 million
in other property investments.

Cash provided by financing activities increased to $112,126,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to cash used in financing activities of
$49,180,000 as of March 31, 1997. The increase was mainly due to the secondary
offering proceeds of $262.3 million and an increase in mortgage borrowings of
$80.0 million. These amounts were offset by an increase in loan repayments of
$154.5 million, an increase in stock and debt issuance costs of $13.5 million,
an increase in dividends paid of $9.4 million, an increase in distributions to
minority partners of $1.2 million and other adjustments of $2.4 million.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and dividends on preferred stock
increased to 2.30 times at March 31, 1998 from 1.12 times at March 31, 1997 due
to the substantial reduction of the Company's leverage ratio and the conversion
of the 8% preferred shares into common stock.

Funds From Operations

The Company calculates Funds from Operations ("FFO") based upon guidance from
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO is
defined as net income, excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and
sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, after adjustments for
unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company has adjusted 1997 FFO by the net gain
on interest rate swap due to the non-cash nature of this item.

Industry analysts generally consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of
performance of an equity Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") such as
Cornerstone. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, should
not be considered a substitute for net income as a measure of performance or for
cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of the
performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from operating
activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors
an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and to
make capital expenditures. For cash flows from operating, financing and
investing activities, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which are part of
this report.


                                 Page 15 of 22
<PAGE>

The Company no longer reports free and deferred rental income as an adjustment
to FFO because this is not part of the industry standard. Therefore, included in
FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 is an an increase of
approximately $3,146,000 and $280,0000, respectively, for free and deferred
rental income (after adjustment for minority interest).

The table below sets forth the adjustments which were made to the net income of
the Company in the calculation of FFO for the three month period ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively (in thousands):

(A) Although the Company believes that this table is a full and fair
presentation of the Company's FFO, similarly captioned items may be defined
differently by other REITs, in which case direct comparisons may not be
possible.

(B) The depreciation and amortization adjustment does not include amortization
of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets in
accordance with guidance from NAREIT.

The increase in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the
same period in 1997 is due to the acquisition of interests in 11 properties
since the end of the first quarter of 1997.

The Company will seek to continue increasing FFO and the value of its property
portfolio by acquiring additional properties that the Company believes will
produce favorable returns. As part of its ongoing business, the Company
periodically engages in discussions with public and private real estate entities
regarding possible portfolio or asset acquisitions or business combinations.

Capital Stock Transactions

On January 31, 1997, through a dividend reinvestment plan available to its
German stockholders, Cornerstone received proceeds of approximately $3,717,000
and issued an additional 243,907 shares of common stock to stockholders.


                                 Page 16 of 22
<PAGE>

On April 21, 1997, the Company received $225,400,000 gross proceeds from the
public placement of 16,100,000 new shares of common stock at a price of $14.00
per share and listed on the New York Stock Exchange through underwriters led by
Merrill Lynch & Co. The net proceeds were used as partial consideration for the
purchase of the DIHC Portfolio.

On April 30, 1997, through a dividend reinvestment plan available to its German
stockholders, Cornerstone received proceeds of approximately $2.2 million and
issued an additional 141,733 shares of common stock to stockholders.

On July 25, 1997, the 1,148,276 shares of Redeemable Preferred stock outstanding
at the time were converted into 11,482,760 common shares. The contractual
conversion was based upon meeting a $16.00 twenty-day average common share
price.

On July 31, 1997, through a dividend reinvestment plan available to its German
stockholders, Cornerstone received proceeds of approximately $2.6 million and
issued an additional 175,796 shares of common stock to stockholders.

On October 27, 1997, the Company increased the authorized shares from
115,000,000 shares of capital stock, without par value, to 265,000,000 shares of
capital stock, without par value, of which 15,000,000 shares were preferred
stock and 250,000,000 shares were common stock.

On October 28, 1997, as consideration for the acquisition of the DIHC Portfolio,
Cornerstone issued 34,185,500 shares of common stock to DIHC and PGGM as
compensation for the acquisition of interests in nine Class A office buildings

On February 27, 1998, through a dividend reinvestment plan available to its
German stockholders, Cornerstone received proceeds of approximately $2,010,000
and issued an additional 109,007 shares of common stock to stockholders.

On February 6, 1998, Cornerstone completed a secondary public offering of
14,375,000 shares of Common Stock at $18.25 per share. The shares were placed in
the U.S. through a syndicate of seven investment banks led by Merrill Lynch &
Co. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $247,866,000 ($262,343,750
gross proceeds less an underwriting discount of $13,728,125 and expenses of
approximately $750,000). The net proceeds were used to repay the Company's
acquisition line of credit and for working capital purposes.

Mortgage Indebtedness

On October 27, 1997, the Company entered into four mortgage loans with PGGM and
its wholly-owned subsidiary DIHC (together "PGGM") as purchase money financing
for the DIHC Portfolio. The mortgages, which are cross-collateralized, encumber
TransPotomac Plaza 5, Charlotte Plaza, 527 Madison Avenue, One Lincoln Centre,
200 Galleria and the first mortgage note on Market Square. These mortgages total
$250.0 million and are interest only with no prepayment rights.

The first loan is a $10.0 million note at 7.28% interest; the interest rate on
the loan increased to 7.28% upon the sale of the Dearborn Land, which occurred
on March 31, 1998. The loan matures in October 2000.

The second note is a $55.0 million note at 7.28% interest, which matures in
October 2000. Upon repayment of this note and the $10.0 million note described
above, PGGM will release the liens on TransPotomac Plaza 5 and Charlotte Plaza.

The third note is a $65.0 million note at 7.47% interest, which matures in
October 2004. Upon repayment of this note, PGGM will release the liens on 527
Madison Avenue and One Lincoln Centre.

The fourth note is a $120.0 million note at 7.54% interest, which is due in
October 2007. Upon repayment of this note, PGGM will release the liens on Market
Square and 200 Galleria.

On December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the second mortgage on Sixty State
Street in Boston, MA; this mortgage is consolidated on the Company's balance
sheet. The property has a first mortgage in the amount of approximately $78.4
million, which matures in January 2005. The loan requires amortization based on
a 30-year schedule and bears interest at a rate of 9.5%. While the face amount
of the second mortgage is $78.4 million, because the interest rate is 9.5%, the
Company has recorded the debt at $89.6 million, which is the market value of the
loan at the time of the closing based upon a market interest rate for similar
quality loans of 6.84%.

On January 28, 1998, the Company entered into an $80.0 million first mortgage on
Corporate 500 Centre with Bankers Trust Company. The loan bears interest at a
rate of LIBOR plus 1.0% and matures in July 2002. The interest rate on the loan
is fixed at 6.63% through an interest rate swap with Bankers Trust Company.

Other Indebtedness

On August 8, 1995, the existing $32.5 million loan was extended through December
31, 2003 and assigned to Deutsche Bank AG London at an interest rate of 5%. The
term loan had a $32.5 million balance at December 31, 1996. The loan was prepaid
on March 18, 1997, since, under its terms, it was required to be prepaid upon
Cornerstone's initial public offering ("IPO") in the United States. The Company
has no long-term debt maturing until 2000.

On October 27, 1997, the Company entered into a three-year, $350.0 million
acquisition line of credit syndicated by Bankers Trust Company and The Chase
Manhattan Bank. The line bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.10% to 1.40%
depending on the Company's then current leverage ratio. There were no borrowings
outstanding at March 31, 1998. The line is also available for the issuance of
standby letters of credit.

Stockholders' and Unitholders' Distributions

Cornerstone intends to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to maintain
its qualification as a REIT. The Company anticipates that FFO will exceed
taxable income for the foreseeable future. Cornerstone's distribution policy is
to pay distributions based upon FFO, less prudent reserves. The Company paid
distributions of $0.30 per share to all stockholders and unitholders on February
27, 1998 (to stockholders and unitholders of record as of January 30, 1998). The
Company declared a dividend of $0.30 per common share, payable to all
stockholders and unitholders of record as of April 30, 1998 on May 29, 1998.

At the present time, the Company is current in the payment of all preferred
dividends.

Liquidity

At March 31, 1998, the Company had $55,196,000 in cash and cash equivalents and
$5,524,000 in restricted cash. Restricted cash is being held by the Mortgage
Servicer for the One Norwest Center and Washington Mutual Tower mortgage loans.
Cornerstone also had available $350.0 million under its working capital line of
credit for general corporate purposes. In addition, Cornerstone anticipates it
will receive distributions from its real estate partnerships, rental income from
its fee owned properties and interest income from its mortgages on a monthly
basis which will be used to cover normal operating expenses and pay
distributions to its stockholders and unitholders. Based upon its cash reserves
and other sources of funds, Cornerstone has sufficient liquidity to meet its
cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Other Matters

The Company is not aware of any environmental issues at any of its properties.
The Company believes it has sufficient insurance coverage at each of its
properties. A majority of the Company's leases with the majority of its tenants
require the tenants to pay most operating expenses and increases in common area
maintenance expenses, which reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs
and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is in the process of acquiring
new accounting and property management software that will eliminate year 2000
software concerns at the corporate level. The new software is expected to be
installed by the fourth quarter of 1998. Management is in the process of
completing a survey with all of its property managers to make sure there are no
year 2000 issues at any of the property management firms that manage its
properties. Currently, Cornerstone is not aware of any year 2000 issues that
would have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations
and liquidity of the Company.

During 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") and Statement of
Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. In addition, the Emerging Issues Task Force
of the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Issue No. 97-11,
"Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions"
("EITF 97-11").

SOP 98-5 requires that certain costs incurred in conjunction with start-up
activities should be expensed. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on whether the costs
of computer software developed or obtained for internal use should be
capitalized or expensed. EITF 97-11 requires that the internal pre-acquisition
costs of identifying and acquiring operating property be expensed as incurred.

Management believes that, when adopted, SOP 98-5 and SOP 98-1 will not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial statements. EITF 97-11 was adopted
during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). The adoption of SFAS 130 did not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Subsequent Events

On April 28, 1998, the Company purchased One Memorial Drive, a 353,000 square
foot office tower in Cambridge, Massachusetts for a total purchase price of
$112,500,000. Consideration for the acquisition included 3,428,571 shares of
Common Stock, 1,657,426 UPREIT Units and $25,500,000 of cash.

On April 29, 1998, the Company sold the Frick Building in Pittsburgh, PA, for
approximately $27.4 million.

Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On January 5, 1998, the Company purchased the remaining participation rights in
the cash flow and residual value of Tower 56 from the previous participants for
307,692 shares of Common Stock. At the time of the sale, such shares of Common
Stock were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and were offered and sold to the foregoing shareholders in a
private offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to
their rights under a registration rights agreement between each of these
shareholders and the Company, these shares were registered under a shelf
registration statement on Form S-F (Registration No. 333-47149) which became
effective on March 10, 1998.

On February 27, 1998, through a dividend reinvestment plan available to all
German shareholders, the Company issued 109,007 shares of Common Stock to such
shareholders in lieu of paying cash dividends in the aggregate amount of
$2,010,000. Such shares were issued and sold to persons outside the United
States and were not registered under the Securities Act.

Cornerstone Properties Announces 1Q98 Results
May 5, 1998
Page 2

Year-to-date net operating income before depreciation from Cornerstone
Properties' real estate assets increased 147% to $50,525,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, from $20,440,000 for the comparable period in 1997.
The increase is due mainly to the Company's acquisition of the nine property
DIHC portfolio in October 1997.

Net income for the first quarter of 1998 grew to $22,754,000, compared to
$5,610,000 in the first quarter of 1997. The increase was driven by increased
property net operating income from acquisitions and internal growth.

John S. Moody, Chairman and CEO said, "During the first quarter of 1998, we
continued to build upon the accomplishments of last year. Our return to the
capital markets in the form of our secondary offering provides us with higher
levels of funding and enhanced our ability to successfully compete for
strategic, accretive acquisitions in premier office buildings in the most
attractive markets. Furthermore, our conversion of the Company to an UPREIT
structure has facilitated close to $400 million in completed or contracted
acquisitions during the first five months of 1998. We believe that Cornerstone's
UPREIT structure will be a major source of future deal flow into the Company's
acquisition pipeline. In addition to completing the acquisition of 60 State
Street and Corporate 500 Centre, we expanded our presence on the West Coast and
moved into the California office market with the acquisition of properties in
Santa Monica and San Francisco."

Mr. Moody concluded, "Cornerstone continues to deliver on the goals we set at
the Company's IPO: to deliver higher risk-adjusted returns to our shareholders,
to maintain our position as one of the pre-eminent owners of premier office
properties, and to be the partner of choice for private and public sellers of
the most desirable real estate assets that meet our stringent investment
criteria."

Quarterly Dividend Declared

The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share payable on April
30, 1998 to shareholders of record on May 31, 1998. The company expects to
continue to maintain its quarterly dividend at $0.30 per share for the
foreseeable future in order to bring its FFO payout ratio (currently at 84%) in
line with its peers.

"Same Store" Revenue Growth Continues

The Company achieved year to date "same store" net operating income growth of
1.19% over 1997, despite the rolldown of over 170,000 square feet of space
occupied by Faegre Benson at Norwest Center. Based on current market conditions
this should be the last significant rolldown in rents in the portfolio. The same
store revenue growth for the Company excluding Norwest Center was 3.63% for the
same period.

Leasing Update: Tenant Retention Rate 88% and Overall Occupancy Rate 98%

Tenant retention for 1998 remained strong at 88%, while the portfolio's overall
occupancy rate increased to 98%. The Company has been successful in its goal of
bringing the occupancy rate of its more recently acquired properties up to a
level that is in line with the remainder of the portfolio. Occupancy at One
Lincoln Center has increased to 96% from 91% since its acquisition in 1996.
Occupancy across the DIHC portfolio has increased from 96% to 97%, in the five
months since it was acquired.

                                    Footnotes

- ----------
(1)   While the Company's stated interest in the partnership which owns Norwest
      Center is 50%, its economic interest in the Property is significantly
      larger because of priority distributions it receives on its invested
      capital base. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's
      share of earnings and cash distributions from the partnership that owns
      Norwest Center was 81.5%.

(2)   While the Company's stated interest in the partnership which owns
      Washington Mutual Tower is 50%, its economic interest in the Property is
      significantly larger because of priority distributions it receives on its
      invested capital base. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the
      Company received 100% of the cash distributions from the partnership that
      owns Washington Mutual Tower.

(3)   Includes the Galland and Seneca Buildings.

(4)   The Company's headquarters are located at Tower 56.

(5)   The Property was substantially renovated in 1988.

(6)   Property acquired in the DLHC Acquisition.

(7)   While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns 191
      Peachtree Street is 80%, its economic interest is significantly larger
      since it has acquired the first mortgage note on the Property in the
      amount of $145 million, which earns interest at 9.375%, and will receive a
      priority distribution on its acquired capital base. In addition, in 1997,
      the partner in the transaction, CH Associates, Ltd., received an annual
      incentive distribution of $250,000 which, the Company expects, it will
      continue to receive under the partnership agreement through February 28,
      2000, with the Company receiving the remainder of the cash flow of the
      property.

(8)   In January 1998, the Company acquired partnership interests with a stated
      interest of approximately 59% in the partnerships that own Market Square,
      with the option to purchase an additional 1%. The Company's economic
      interest is significantly larger since it has acquired the first mortgage
      note on the Property in the amount of $181 million which earns interest at
      9.75%, and will receive a priority distribution on its acquired capital
      base. In addition, the Company acquired a "buffer loan", with accrued
      principal and interest of $46.2 million, which accrues interest at a rate
      of 11% per annum and is payable from cash flow, refinancing or sales
      proceeds from Market Square in excess of the first mortgage. During the
      three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company received 100% of the cash
      flow from the Property.

(9)   Distributions of cash flow and sales and refinancing proceeds are shared
      in proportion to the Company's 91.5% partnership interest and Hines
      Interests Limited Partnership's and/or its affiliates' ("Hines") 8.5%
      partnership interest.

(10)  On December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the second mortgage on Sixty
      State Street located in the heart of Boston's Central Business District.
      The mortgage is a cash flow mortgage through which all the economic
      benefits/risks (subject to the first mortgage) will inure to the Company.
      The Company controls all major decisions regarding management and leasing.
      The total purchase price for the second mortgage was $131.5 million. The
      $78.4 million first mortgage on the Property has been recorded by the
      Company as an $89.6 million liability due to its above-market interest
      rate. The Company will account for the transaction as an equity investment
      in real estate.

(11)  The Property was acquired by the Company in January 1998.

                              As of March 31, 1998

The attached table sets forth the Company's tenant retention on expiring leases
since January 1, 1994. The analysis is based upon the percentage of expiring
leases in the applicable building with a tenant or subtenant being retained in
the expiring space, or an existing tenant expanding into the expiring space. A
tenant's lease is added to the retention schedule at the time a lease extension
is signed with the tenant, or the tenant notifies the Company of an option being
exercised.

Non Incremental Revenue Generating Leasing Costs and Capital Expenditures

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following table shows Historical Non-Incremental Revenue Generating Leasing
Costs, which are the leasing costs (tenant improvements and leasing
commissions), in total and on a per square foot basis, to re-lease expiring
leases or renew or extend existing leases. The Company believes that its ability
to renew and extend existing tenants at a high percentage has substantially
reduced its overall leasing costs on a per square foot basis. Additionally, the
table shows Historical Non-Incremental Revenue Generating Capital Expenditures,
which are Capital Expenditures expended to maintain a property in a Class A
manner and do not give rise to additional earnings capacity, but rather allow
the property to maintain its competitive position within its market. The Company
believes that its focus on continuing high level of maintenance of its assets
has greatly reduced the amount of Capital Expenditures required at its
buildings.

                           Quarterly Earnings Release

                      o Minority Sharing in Cash Flows and
                                Residual Proceeds

Minority Sharing in Cash Flows and Residual Proceeds

      Five of the Company's properties are held in partnerships which allow the
Company's partners to participate in the cash flows of their respective
properties. The following discussion provides the details of partner's
participation in the cash flow of each of the respective properties.

Norwest Center

      Under the partnership agreement, cash flow is used first to pay operating
and capital expenditures, then debt service on the mortgage note. The remaining
cash flow is paid first to Cornerstone, as a 7% cumulative preference return on
its capital base of $92.3 million ($6,461,000), and then any remaining cash flow
is split 50% to Cornerstone and 50% to their partner, Sixth & Marquette Limited
Partnership ("S&M"). Should cash flow be insufficient to pay the preference
return ("Preference Deficit"), it will accumulate and earn interest at 7%. Any
Preference Deficit will be paid as the first priority payment after debt
service. Cash flow and earnings for the first three months of 1998 were split
81.5% to Cornerstone and 18.5% to S&M. Sales proceeds from Norwest Center will
be split as follows as of March 31, 1998:

      1)   To debt                  $110.0 million
      2)   To Cornerstone             92.3 million
      3)   To Cornerstone              9.3 million
      4)   To Cornerstone              1.0 million
      5)   To S&M                     19.3 million
      6)   The remaining proceeds will be split 50/50 among the two partners.

Washington Mutual Tower

      Under the partnership agreement, cash flow is used first to pay operating
and capital expenditures, then debt service on the mortgage note. The remaining
cash flow is paid first to Cornerstone as a 9.53% preference return on its
capital base of $47.0 million ($4,479,000); next to pay the Preference Deficit
on the second preference return (currently $8.7 million); then to Cornerstone as
an 8% second preference return on its capital base of $100.0 million
($8,000,000). Any remaining cash flow is split 50% to Cornerstone and 50% to
1212. The cumulative Preference Deficit earns interest at a rate of 8% until it
is repaid. Cornerstone's partner, 1212 Partnership, does not currently share in
the cash flow from Washington Mutual Tower. With regard to the sale of the
building, the Company will receive the first $155.7 million of proceeds after
repayment of the $79.1 million mortgage ($234.8 million in total proceeds). Any
proceeds above this amount will be split 50/50 with Cornerstone's partners.

Minority Sharing in Cash Flows and Residual Proceeds (continued)

191 Peachtree

      Under the partnership agreement, cash flow is used first to pay operating
and capital expenditures, then debt service on the mortgage note. In addition,
the partner in the transaction, CH Associates, Ltd., will receive an annual
incentive distribution of $250,000 which Cornerstone expects it will receive
under the partnership agreement through February 28, 2000. Cornerstone receives
the remaining cash flow until such time as its cumulative undistributed
preferred return ($12.1 million as of 3/31/98) has been reimbursed. Excess cash
flow will be split 80% to Cornerstone and 20% to CH Associates, Ltd. Sales
proceeds from 191 Peachtree will be split as follows as of March 31, 1998:

      1)    To Debt                                    $  1.6 million

      2)    To Cornerstone (as partial holder
            of the debt)                               $161.1 million

      3)    To Cornerstone for its undistributed
            preferred return                           $ 12.1 million

      4)    To Cornerstone for its priority capital
            Contribution                               $145.0 million

500 Boylston and 222 Berkeley Street

      Distributions of cash flows and sales proceeds are shared in proportion to
Cornerstone's 91.5% partnership interest and Hines' 8.5 % partnership interest.
