TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1--Organization
The TIAA Real Estate Account ("Account") is a segregated investment account of
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA") and was
established by resolution of TIAA's Board of Trustees on February 22, 1995,
under the insurance laws of the State of New York, for the purpose of funding
variable annuity contracts issued by TIAA. Teachers REA, LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Account, began operations in July 1996 and holds one property
in Virginia. Light Street Partners, L.P. ("Light Street"), a partnership in
which the Account holds a 100% interest, began operations in March 1997 and
holds seven office buildings throughout the United States. Prior to April 30,
1999, when the Account purchased the remaining 10% interest, the Account had a
90% interest in Light Street. Teachers REA II, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Account, began operations in October 1997 and holds one property in
Pennsylvania. Teachers REA III, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account,
began operations in July 1998 and holds one property in Florida.
The Account commenced operations on July 3, 1995 with a $100,000,000 seed money
investment by TIAA. TIAA purchased 1,000,000 Accumulation Units in the Account
and such Units shared in the prorata investment experience of the Account and
are subject to the same valuation procedures and expense deductions as all other
Accumulation Units of the Account. The initial registration statement of the
Account filed by TIAA with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
under the Securities Act of 1933 became effective on October 2, 1995. The
Account began to offer Accumulation Units and Annuity Units to participants
other than TIAA on October 2, and November 1, 1995, respectively. In August
1996, the Account's net assets first reached $200 million and, as required under
a five year repayment schedule approved by the New York State Insurance
Department ("NYID"), TIAA began to redeem its seed money Accumulation Units in
monthly installments of 16,667 Units beginning in September 1996. Since the
Account's assets have been growing rapidly, TIAA in October 1997, with NYID
approval, modified the seed money redemption schedule by increasing the monthly
redemption of Units at a level equal to the value of 25% of the Account's net
asset growth for the prior month, with no fewer than 16,667 Units and no more
than 100,000 Units to be redeemed each month. These withdrawals were made at
prevailing daily net asset values and are reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 1998, all of TIAA's
Accumulation Units had been withdrawn.
The investment objective of the Account is a favorable long-term rate of return
primarily through rental income and capital appreciation from real estate
investments owned by the Account. The Account also invests in publicly-traded
securities and other instruments to maintain adequate liquidity for operating
expenses, capital expenditures and to make benefit payments.
TIAA employees, under the direction of TIAA's Board of Trustees and its
Investment Committee, manage the investment of the Account's assets pursuant to
investment management procedures adopted by TIAA for the Account. TIAA's
investment management decisions for the Account are also subject to review by
the Account's independent fiduciary, Institutional Property Consultants, Inc.
TIAA also provides all portfolio accounting and related services for the
Account. TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, Inc. ("Services"), a
subsidiary of TIAA, which is registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer
and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
provides administrative and distribution services pursuant to a Distribution and
Administrative Services Agreement with the Account.
Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements may require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income,
expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
followed by the Account, which are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 2--Significant Accounting Policies - (Concluded)
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the Account and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Teachers REA, LLC,
Teachers REA II, LLC, Teachers REA III, LLC, Inc. and Light Street. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Valuation of Real Estate Properties: Investments in real estate properties are
stated at fair value, as determined in accordance with procedures approved by
the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Board as a whole; accordingly, the Account does not
record depreciation. Fair value for real estate properties is defined as the
most probable price for which a property will sell in a competitive market under
all conditions requisite to a fair sale. Determination of fair value involves
subjective judgement because the actual market value of real estate can be
determined only by negotiation between the parties in a sales transaction. Real
estate properties owned by the Account are initially valued at their respective
purchase prices (including acquisition costs). Subsequently, independent
appraisers value each real estate property at least once a year. The independent
fiduciary must approve all independent appraisers used by the Account. The
independent fiduciary can also require additional appraisals if it believes that
a property's value has changed materially or otherwise to assure that the
Account is valued correctly. TIAA's appraisal staff performs a valuation review
of each real estate property on a quarterly basis and updates the property value
if it believes that the value of the property has changed since the previous
valuation review or appraisal. The independent fiduciary reviews and approves
any such valuation adjustments which exceed certain prescribed limits. TIAA
continues to use the revised value to calculate the Account's net asset value
until the next valuation review or appraisal.
Valuation of Marketable Securities: Equity securities listed or traded on any
United States national securities exchange are valued at the last sales price as
of the close of the principal securities exchange on which such securities are
traded or, if there is no sale, at the mean of the last bid and asked prices on
such exchange. Short-term money market instruments are stated at market value.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the
Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Board as a whole.
Accounting for Investments: Real estate transactions are accounted for as of the
date on which the purchase or sale transactions for the real estate properties
close (settlement date). Rent from real estate properties consists of all
amounts earned under tenant operating leases, including base rent, recoveries of
real estate taxes and other expenses and charges for miscellaneous services
provided to tenants. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the billing
terms of the lease agreements. The Account bears the direct expenses of the real
estate properties owned. These expenses include, but are not limited to, fees to
local property management companies, property taxes, utilities, maintenance,
repairs, insurance and other operating and administrative costs. An estimate of
the net operating income earned from each real estate property is accrued by the
Account on a daily basis and such estimates are adjusted as soon as actual
operating results are determined. Realized gains and losses on real estate
transactions are accounted for under the specific identification method.
Securities transactions are accounted for as of the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded as earned and, for
short-term money market instruments, includes accrual of discount and
amortization of premium. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are accounted for on the
average cost basis.
Federal Income Taxes: Based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the
Account is taxed as a segregated asset account of TIAA. The Account should incur
no material federal income tax attributable to the net investment experience of
the Account.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 3--Management Agreements
Under established management agreements, various services necessary for the
operation of the Account are provided, at cost, by TIAA and Services. TIAA
provides investment management services for the Account while distribution and
administrative services are provided by Services in accordance with a
Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement between the Account and
Services. Prior to April 30, 1999, an affiliate of the former minority partner
in Light Street provided certain management services for the properties owned by
Light Street. The charges for such services, for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, amounted to $345,928 for investment advisory expenses and $104,673 for
administrative expenses which are recorded accordingly in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. TIAA also provides a liquidity guarantee
to the Account, for a fee, to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet
participant transfer and cash withdrawal requests in the event that the
Account's cash flows and liquid investments are insufficient to fund such
requests. TIAA also receives a fee for assuming certain mortality and expense
risks.
Fee payments are made from the Account on a daily basis to TIAA and Services
according to formulas established each year with the objective of keeping the
fees as close as possible to the Account's actual expenses. Any differences
between actual expenses and daily charges are adjusted quarterly.
Note 4--Real Estate Properties
Had the Account's real estate property which was purchased during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 been acquired at the beginning of the period
(January 1, 1999), rental income and real estate property level expenses and
taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 would have increased by
approximately $25,856,000 and $9,934,000, respectively. In addition, interest
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 would have decreased by
approximately $12,875,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the
Account's net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
would have been an increase of approximately $3,047,000, if the real estate
property acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 had been
acquired at the beginning of the period. Several of these properties had little
or no net rental activity prior to purchase by the Account because they were
recently constructed. In such cases, there was little or no real estate income
to offset the proforma decline in interest income, resulting in a net decrease
in net investment income from this calculation. This increase is not indicative
of expected future results because all of these properties were substantially
rented at the time of purchase.
Note 5--Leases
The Account's real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating lease
agreements which expire on various dates through 2021. Aggregate minimum annual
rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are
as follows:
Years Ending
December 31,

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
At September 30, 1999, the Account had acquired a total of 53 real
estate properties, including seventeen office properties, sixteen industrial
properties, five neighborhood shopping centers and fifteen apartment complexes
representing 78.79% of the Account's total investment portfolio. The Account
also held investments in commercial paper, representing 13.06% of the portfolio,
real estate investment trusts (REITs), representing 5.85% of the portfolio,
investments in U.S. government agencies, representing 1.68% of the portfolio,
and corporate bonds, representing 0.62% of the portfolio.
The Account purchased one apartment property and four office properties
during the third quarter of 1999 and has purchased one additional office
property and sold an apartment property since the end of the quarter. The
Account continues to pursue suitable property acquisitions, and is currently in
various stages of negotiations with a number of prospective sellers. While
attractive acquisition prospects are available in the current market,
significant competition exists for the most desirable properties.
Results of Operations-Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998
The Account's total net return was 5.56% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 6.26% for the same period in 1998. This decline was due
to the reduced amount of net realized and unrealized gains on investments during
the 1999 period. The Account's net investment income, after deduction of all
expenses, was $73,612,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
$51,545,057 for the same period in 1998, a 43% increase. This increase was
primarily the result of a 52% increase in net assets from September 30, 1998 to
September 30, 1999.
The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of
$830,189 and $8,994,890 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
September 30, 1998, respectively. This decrease was due to several factors. The
Account's net realized and unrealized appreciation on its real estate
investments was $9,516,160 during the first nine months of 1999, compared with
$28,936,361 in the same period of 1998. This difference was due in part to the
fact that real estate owned by the Account at September 30, 1998 had appreciated
significantly more during the first nine months of 1998 than the real estate
owned by the Account at September 30, 1999 had appreciated during the first nine
months of 1999. The appreciation of the Account's real estate during the nine
month periods in 1999 and 1998 was offset by realized and unrealized losses on
the Account's marketable securities during those periods. The decrease in market
value of the Account's REIT holdings resulted in net realized and unrealized
losses of $8,685,971 for first nine months of 1999 as compared with losses of
$19,941,471 on the Account's marketable securities for the same period of 1998.
The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 76% and 69%
of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level
expenses) during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30,
1998, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment
income was generated by marketable securities investments.

<PAGE>
Gross real estate rental income was $91,378,964 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and $58,220,663 for the same period in 1998. This
increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by
the Account from 38 properties as of September 30, 1998 to 53 properties as of
September 30, 1999. Interest income on the Account's short- and intermediate-
term investments for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 totaled
$13,144,718 and $11,323,545, respectively. This increase was due primarily to
the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments
in REITs totaled $5,907,159 and $6,113,150, respectively, for the same periods.
Shares of REITs totaled 5.85% of the Account investments as of September 30,
1999 and 11.24% as of September 30, 1998. The decrease in the Account's REIT
allocation accounted for the decreased dividend income for first nine months of
1999, as compared with the same period in 1998.
Total property level expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 were $29,726,849, of which $10,696,731 was attributable to real estate
taxes and $19,030,118 represented operating expenses. Total property level
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $19,343,225, of which
$6,786,316 was attributable to real estate taxes and $12,556,909 was
attributable to operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses
during the first nine months of 1999 reflected the increased number of
properties in the Account.
The Account also incurred expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998 of $3,308,768 and $2,350,238, respectively, for investment
advisory services, $2,638,022 and $1,867,980, respectively, for administrative
and distribution services and $1,145,119 and $550,858 respectively, for the
mortality and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses
increased as a result of the larger net asset base in the Account for the first
nine months of 1999 over the first nine months of 1998.
Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998
The Account's total net return was 1.38% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 2.00% for the same period in 1998. This decline was
primarily attributable to a lower level of realized and unrealized gains on real
estate investments for the period in 1999 as compared with 1998. The Account's
net investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $28,043,849 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999 and $18,378,939 for the same period in
1998, a 53% increase. This increase was the result of the growing base of net
assets from September 30, 1998 to September 30, 1999. The Account had net
realized and unrealized losses on investments of $6,857,456 and net realized and
unrealized gains of $3,243,713 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively. This decrease was primarily the result of the net realized
and unrealized losses of the Account's marketable securities together with the
lower unrealized gains from the Account's real estate properties.
The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 82% and 68%
of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level
expenses) during the three months ended September 30, 1999 and September 30,
1998, respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment
income was generated by investments in marketable securities.
17
<PAGE>
Gross real estate rental income was $37,182,213 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and $20,564,416 for the same period in 1998. The higher
real estate income for the 1999 period was due primarily to the increase in the
number of properties owned by the Account. Interest income on the Account's
short- and intermediate-term investments for the three months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998 totaled $3,371,143 and $4,097,962, respectively. This decrease
was due primarily to the increased real estate allocation of as September 30,
1999 compared to the earlier time period. Dividend income on the Account's
investments in REITs totaled $1,954,756 and $2,256,331, respectively, for the
same periods. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the Account's
REIT allocation.
Total property level expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1999 were $12,302,388, of which $4,818,340 was attributable to real estate taxes
and $7,484,048 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 were $6,868,875, of which $2,440,221
was attributable to real estate taxes and $4,428,664 was attributable to
operating expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 reflected the increased number of
properties in the Account.
The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998 of $886,712 and $827,691, respectively, for investment
advisory services, $885,890 and $642,375, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $389,273 and $200,829, respectively, for the mortality
and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Such expenses increased
as a result of the larger net asset base of the Account for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 over the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Account
received $91,734,806 and $66,137,439, respectively, in premiums and $254,782,944
and $219,310,235, respectively, in net participant transfers from other TIAA and
CREF accounts. The increase in premium income is primarily due to the growing
number of participants in the Account.
At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its
REITs, short- and intermediate-term investments, government securities and cash)
had a value of $337,111,797 and $421,680,797 respectively. The REIT holdings at
September 30, 1999 and 1998 were $92,749,438 and $119,785,013, respectively. We
plan to use much of the Account's liquid assets, exclusive of the REITs, to
purchase additional suitable real estate properties. The remaining liquid
assets, exclusive of the REITs, will continue to be available to meet expense
needs and redemption requests (e.g., cash withdrawals or transfers).
If the Account's liquid assets and its cash flow from operating activities
and participant transactions are not sufficient to meet its cash needs,
including redemption requests, TIAA's general account will purchase liquidity
units in accordance with TIAA's liquidity guarantee to the Account.

Year 2000 Issues
TIAA is dedicated to providing uninterrupted, high-quality service before,
during, and after the Year 2000. To achieve this goal, we have carried out an
extensive Year 2000 plan to remediate, test and certify all internal computer
systems, and to verify, to the extent possible, that external service providers
will be ready for the Year 2000. To date, we have completed testing and
certification of our mission critical internal corporate systems and have
successfully tested the critical interfaces we have with a majority of our major
service providers, vendors, and suppliers. TIAA has been actively working with
all those responsible for property computer systems, i.e., management companies
and certain tenants, to assure that they have implemented plans to remediate and
test property systems in a timely manner. In addition, we are making contingency
plans intended to lessen the effect unexpected systems failures (internal and
external) or unusual market conditions may have on operations.
Based on all our efforts and testing to date, we are confident that we are
well-prepared for the Year 2000 transition. However, we can't guarantee complete
success or eliminate the possibility that interaction with outside computer
systems or other factors could affect Account operations. If the systems the
Account relies upon do fail or produce faulty data, there could be delays in
properly processing transactions, or we may be unable temporarily to engage in
normal business activities. Also, the Account's performance could be affected if
the properties, companies or government entities in which the Account invests
are negatively affected by the Year 2000.
