                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma 
statements of income of Cornerstone Properties Inc. and subsidiaries 
("Cornerstone") give effect to (i) the acquisition of William Wilson & 
Associates ("WW&A") and related entities in December 1988 (the "Wilson 
Transaction"), (ii) the acquisition of nine properties and undeveloped parcel 
of land in October 1997 (the "DIHC Acquisition"), (iii) the public offerings 
of Cornerstone Common Stock in April 1997 and February 1998, (iv) the 
conversion of 8% Preferred Stock into Cornerstone Common Stock in July 1997, 
(v) Cornerstone's repayment of a $32,500,000 term loan from Deutsche Bank in 
March 1997 and (vi) the acquisition of six properties and sale of one 
property in 1997 and 1998 (together with the DIHC Acquisition, the "Previous 
Property Transactions") as if they had occurred on January 1, 1997. The 
unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet is presented as if 
the Wilson Transaction had occurred on September 30, 1998. The pro forma 
adjustments shown separately with respect to the Wilson Transaction include 
(i) the issuance of shares of Cornerstone Common Stock and Units of limited 
partner interest in Cornerstone Properties Limited Partnership in connection 
with the Wilson Transaction (the "Wilson Issuance"), (ii) the issuance and 
sale of shares of Cornerstone Common Stock to Stichting Pensioenfonds Voor De 
Gezondheid, Geetselijke En Maatschappelijke Belangen to fund a portion of the 
cash consideration for the Wilson Transaction (the "PGGM Investment"), (iii) 
the incurrence of additional indebtedness under Cornerstone's bank credit 
facility to fund the Wilson Acquisition (the "Acquisition Credit Line"), (iv) 
the acquisition of 67 real estate properties in the Wilson Acquisition 
("Property Acquisition I and II"), (v) the acquisition of the Pruneyard Hotel 
in the Wilson Acquisition (the "Pruneyard Hotel Acquisition") and (vi) the 
acquisition of the development, construction management, property management 
and leasing and tenant improvement services business of William Wilson & 
Associates in the Wilson Acquisition (the "William Wilson & Associates 
Acquisition").

            The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements
are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or the consolidated
financial position that would have resulted had the aforementioned transactions
been consummated at the dates indicated, nor are they intended to project
Cornerstone's results of operations or consolidated financial position for any
future period or date. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited
financial statements of Cornerstone previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

</TABLE>

a.    Historical revenues and expenses from the properties from January 1, 1997
      through the date of acquisition or December 31, 1997, whichever is
      earlier. Office and parking rentals include a pro forma straight line rent
      adjustment based on a lease reset date of January 1, 1997. For the pro
      forma disposition of the Frick building, actual revenue and expenses have
      been eliminated through December 31, 1997.

b.    Market Square, a building purchased as part of the DIHC Acquisition, has
      been accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Market Square's
      revenue and expenses are included in the DIHC Properties column and
      reclassed into equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities in the
      adjustment column. Under the equity method, Cornerstone recognizes its
      economic share (100%) of Market Square's earnings and losses.

c.    Pro forma adjustments for interest expense have been calculated for the
      period January 1, 1997 through the date of acquisition or December 31,
      1997, whichever is earlier, based on the indicated assumed/incurred debt
      and weighted average interest rate. Included in the calculation is an
      adjustment for principal amortization, if any.

d.    Pro forma adjustments for depreciation expense have been calculated for
      the period January 1, 1997 through the date of acquisition or December 31,
      1997, whichever is earlier, based on estimated 80% allocation of the
      purchase price to depreciable assets over a 40 year life using the
      straight line method.

e.    Represents the minority interest's share of net income in three buildings
      of the DIHC Acquisition.

a.    Pro forma adjustment for the straight line rent adjustment based on a
      lease reset date of January 1, 1997.

b.    Pro forma adjustments for interest expense have been calculated based on
      the indicated assumed/incurred debt and weighted average interest rate.
      Included in the calculation is an adjustment for principal amortization,
      if any. For the Property Acquisition I and II, interest expense was not
      calculated on estimated construction debt of $78,803,465. It is
      contemplated that the interest expense on this debt will be capitalized.

c.    Pro forma adjustments for depreciation expense have been calculated based
      on 80% allocation of the purchase price to depreciable assets over a 40
      year life using the straight line method.

d.    Pro forma adjustments for the minority partners' share of net income in
      two buildings of the Property Acquisition I and II.

e.    Represents the elimination of revenues and expenses not included as part
      of the Wilson Transaction.

f.    Represents the elimination of historical depreciation expense and the pro
      forma adjustment for amortization expense based on the William Wilson &
      Associates purchase price. Amortization of the William Wilson & Associates
      purchase has been calculated over a 10 year life using the straight line
      method.

g.    The investment in the Pruneyard Hotel will be accounted for under the
      equity method of accounting. Pro forma adjustments have been made to
      reflect Cornerstone's economic share (95%) of the interest and other
      income and building operating expenses of the Pruneyard Hotel.
      Additionally, the equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities includes
      pro forma adjustments for depreciation and interest expense.

h.    The investment in Commercial Interior Contractors ("CIC"), the
      construction division of WW&A, will be accounted for under the equity
      method of accounting. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect
      Cornerstone's economic share (95%) of the interest and other income, other
      expenses and general and administrative expenses of CIC.

      from Property Acquisition I and II.

j.    To eliminate interest income on excess cash presumed to have been used to
      fund the cash requirements of the property transactions. Additionally, to
      eliminate the interest expense incurred on temporary acquisition line
      financing presumed to have been funded by debt indicated in this footnote
      and footnote 2 and to eliminate the preferred dividends paid on
      Cornerstone's 8% Preferred Stock. The 8% Preferred Stock is presumed to
      have been converted into common stock on January 1, 1997.

k.    Represents the minority holders' interest (14.70%) in the operating
      partnership in the pro forma net income (before this adjustment) available
      to common stockholders.

      lease reset date of January 1, 1997.

b.    Pro forma adjustments for interest expense have been calculated based on
      the indicated assumed/incurred debt and weighted average interest rate.
      Included in the calculation is an adjustment for principal amortization,
      if any. For the Property Acquisition I and II, interest expense was not
      calculated on estimated construction debt of $78,803,465. It is
      contemplated that the interest expense on this debt will be capitalized.

c.    Pro forma adjustments for depreciation expense have been calculated based
      on 80% allocation of the purchase price to depreciable assets over a 40
      year life using the straight line method.

d.    Pro forma adjustments for the minority partners' share of net income in
      two buildings of the Property Acquisition I and II.

      of the Wilson Transaction.

f.    Represents the elimination of historical depreciation expense and the pro
      forma adjustment for amortization expense based on the William Wilson &
      Associates purchase price. Amortization of the William Wilson & Associates
      purchase has been calculated over a 10 year life using the straight line
      method.

g.    The investment in the Pruneyard Hotel will be accounted for under the
      equity method of accounting. Pro forma adjustments have been made to
      reflect Cornerstone's economic share (95%) of the interest and other
      income and building operating expenses of the Pruneyard Hotel.
      Additionally, the equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities includes
      pro forma adjustments for depreciation and interest expense.

h.    The investment in CIC, the construction division of WW&A, will be 
      accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Pro forma 
      adjustments have been made to reflect Cornerstone's economic share (95%)
      of the interest and other income, other expenses and general and 
      administrative expenses of CIC.
