                            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. The Account commenced operations on
July 3, 1995. Teachers REA, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began
operations in July 1996 and holds three properties in Virginia. Light Street
Partners, L.P. ("Light Street"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, 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 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, The Townsend Group. 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
consistently followed by the Account, which are in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the Account and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 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.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

VALUATION OF JOINT VENTURES: Investments in joint ventures are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting. This method requires that the Account
record an unrealized gain or loss on its proportionate share of the joint
ventures' gain or loss. Distributions received from the joint venture will
reduce the Account's investment.

VALUATION OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Equity securities listed or traded on any
United States national securities exchange are valued at the last sale 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which
is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2001 for entities with fiscal
years ending December 31, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires the
recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives
that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. Derivatives
that are hedges, depending on the nature of the hedge, will either be adjusted
to fair value by offsetting the change in the hedged assets, liabilities, or
firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
Because the Account does not use derivatives, management does not anticipate
that the adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, will have an effect on the
earnings or financial position of the Account

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 properties which were purchased during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 been acquired at the beginning of the period
(January 1, 2000), rental income and real estate property level expenses and
taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 would have increased by
approximately $25,310,000 and $7,465,000, respectively. In addition, interest
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 would have decreased by
approximately $10,860,000. Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the
Account's net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
would have been an increase of approximately $6,985,000, if the real estate
properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 had been
acquired at the beginning of the period.

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

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

         At September 30, 2000, the Account held a total of 58 real estate
properties representing 78.33% of the Account's total investment portfolio.
These include twenty office properties (one of which is held in joint venture),
eighteen industrial properties, fifteen apartment complexes, and five
neighborhood shopping centers. The Account also held investments in commercial
paper, representing 17.4% of the portfolio, real estate investment trusts
(REITs), representing 3.8% of the portfolio, and corporate bonds, representing
0.5% of the portfolio.

         The Account purchased one apartment property, two office properties
(one of which is held in joint venture) and one industrial property during the
third quarter of 2000. 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, 2000 COMPARED TO
 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         The Account's total net return was 7.68% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 5.56% for the same period in 1999. The Account's net
investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $108,472,428 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $73,612,083 for the same period in
1999, a 47% increase. This increase was primarily the result of a 38% increase
in net assets and a 38% increase in the Account's real estate holdings from
September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000.

         The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of
$34,330,292 and $830,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. This difference was due primarily to the appreciation of the
Account's real estate holdings and the significant increase in value of the
Account's marketable securities, primarily in REIT holdings, during the first
nine months of 2000 over the same period in 1999.

         The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 81% and 76%
of the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level
expenses) during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was
generated by marketable securities investments.

         Gross real estate rental income was $139,303,225 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and $91,378,964 for the same period in 1999. This
increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by
the Account from 53 properties as of September 30, 1999 to 58 properties as of
September 30, 2000. Interest income on the Account's short- and intermediate-
term investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 totaled
$17,936,645 and $13,144,718, respectively. This increase was due primarily to
the


                                       17
<PAGE>

growth in the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in
REITs totaled $4,904,265 and $5,907,159, respectively, for the same periods.
Shares of REITs totaled 3.80% of the Account investments as of September 30,
2000 and 5.85% as of September 30, 1999. The decrease in the Account's REIT
allocation accounted for the decreased dividend income for first nine months of
2000, as compared with the same period in 1999.

         Total property level expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 were $45,224,860, of which $16,532,575 was attributable to real estate
taxes and $28,692,285 was attributable to operating expenses. 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. The increase in property level expenses during
the first nine months of 2000 reflected the increased number of properties in
the Account.

         The Account also incurred expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 of $4,133,678 and $3,308,768, respectively, for investment
advisory services, $3,200,476 and $2,638,022, respectively, for administrative
and distribution services and $1,510,082 and $1,145,119 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 2000 over the first nine months of 1999.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO
 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         The Account's total net return was 2.67% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1.38% for the same period in 1999. The Account's net
investment income, after deduction of all expenses, was $40,552,504 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and $28,043,849 for the same period in
1999, a 45% increase. This was primarily the result of the increase in net
assets and in the Account's real estate holdings from September 30, 1999 to
September 30, 2000.

         The Account had net realized and unrealized gains of $14,771,601 for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to net realized and
unrealized losses on investments of $6,857,456 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This difference was due, in part, to the fact that the
Account's real estate holdings appreciated more during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 than in the same period of 1999. Also, the Account's
marketable securities (primarily its REIT holdings) increased in value during
the three months ended September 30, 2000 while they decreased in value in same
period of 1999.

         The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 82% of the
Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during both the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The remaining
portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by investments in
marketable securities.

         Gross real estate rental income was $52,030,764 for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 and $37,182,213 for the same period in 1999. The higher
real estate income for the 2000 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, 2000 and 1999 totaled $6,317,707 and $3,371,143, respectively.


                                       18
<PAGE>

This increase was due primarily to the growth of the real estate assets as of
September 30, 2000 compared to the earlier time period. Dividend income on the
Account's investments in REITs totaled $1,479,219 and $1,954,756, 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,
2000 were $16,490,510, of which $5,969,832 was attributable to real estate taxes
and $10,520,678 was attributable to operating expenses. 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. The increase in property level expenses during
the three month period ended September 30, 2000 reflected the increased number
of properties in the Account.

         The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 of $1,525,198 and $886,712, respectively, for investment
advisory services, $1,125,353 and $885,890, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $531,514 and $389,273, 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, 2000 over the three months ended September 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Account
received $117,271,493 and $91,734,806, respectively, in premiums and
$288,502,924 and $254,782,944, respectively, in net participant transfers from
other TIAA and CREF accounts.

         At September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its
REITs, short- and intermediate-term investments, government securities and cash)
had a value of $478,107,886 and $337,111,797, respectively. The REIT holdings at
September 30, 2000 and 1999 were $83,845,441 and $92,749,438, 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.
