	MANAGER COMMENTARY
	April 30, 2007

Dear Investor,

We are pleased to present the initial semi-annual report for the Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund. On April 25, 2007, the Fund issued 100,000,000 shares at a price of $20 per share and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AWP. Because the initial date for funding the portfolio coincided with Alpine’s fiscal semi-annual period ending of April 30th, we must provide a shareholder report which covers only the first day of operation for the Fund. Thus, the schedule of portfolio investments is not fully reflective of the envisioned investment program. Alpine will provide updated disclosure of portfolio holdings and characteristics following calendar quarter end of June 30, 2007. With nominal investment activity to report, we wish to focus this report on a discussion of the market opportunities we perceive for investing in global real estate securities, the Fund’s focus on premier properties, and our approach to investing in global real estate securities. In addition, this letter will set forth a brief overview of the current market situation and our initial investment strategy. Please note that the Fund’s initial public offering prospectus dated April 25, 2007 provides greater detail on the potential range of investments.

Press Release Summaries

On May 1st, Alpine publicly announced the successful common share offering of this Fund including the following comment: “We believe the record offering of Alpine’s Global Premier Properties Fund reflects investor appreciation of the innovative investment model created and deployed by Alpine Woods for this Fund, as well as the historical performance of both of our two closed-end funds and our existing openend real estate funds. This Fund marries our dynamic dividend capture strategies employed by three of our other funds with our eighteen years of experience managing portfolios of global real estate securities.” On May 23rd, Alpine issued another press release stating in part: “The Board of Trustees of the Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund today announced its initial three monthly distributions of $0.1267 per share or equal to $1.52 per year for a 7.6% annualized distribution on its $20 IPO.” These releases are available on the Fund’s website, www.alpinecef.com.

Investment Opportunities

Alpine believes that the global real estate securities market is currently undergoing a historic evolution and expansion. In many respects it is similar to the emergence of the modern REIT era in the United States, which began in the fourth quarter 1992 with the IPO’s of Kimco Realty Corp. and Taubman Centers, Inc. During the ensuing four years, the REIT market experienced significant expansion and performance. In a similar fashion the global real estate markets have witnessed considerable growth over the past 15 months. For example, twenty months ago Brazil had only three small publicly traded real estate companies. Today there are twenty-one with another half a dozen preparing to come to market. Less than four years ago there were only six J-REITs and today there are forty-one. Over a year ago it was difficult to find investment opportunities in real estate securities in either India or Russia, only a few publicly traded companies were investing in Eastern Europe; and China had yet to enjoy the recent increase in the number of publicly traded real estate companies available either through Hong Kong or on its own domestic oriented markets. We believe this market expansion reflects both the globalization of capital flows seeking superior returns and the realization by local property entrepreneurs that the global capital markets can provide attractive long term funding for companies which generate superior returns. Property stocks enjoy more opportunities today than ever before.

Investment Strategy

Alpine’s ability to marry the dividend capture techniques which we have employed in other Alpine funds with our 20 year-long focus on real estate markets around the world is designed to emphasize growth with a secondary goal of providing an attractive level of dividend income. While these primary and secondary goals will remain constant over the long term, short term shifts in emphasis may be employed in response to variation in property cycles and market opportunities. Continued evolution of the global property securities markets from the current state in which REIT’s are but a modest proportion of the overall investable universe towards a potential greater weighting in future years, could lead to a greater portfolio emphasis on REITs. Future shifting market dynamics may change our current emphasis on the international markets back towards a more domestic focus if we believe opportunities might become more attractive here. In other words, we anticipate that the portfolio will reflect the dynamics of the global marketplace and the opportunities which management believes best enable us to achieve the goals of solid total returns with dividend income.

‘Premier properties’ are a focus of the investment program for this Fund. We believe that premier properties hold their value over time better than do generic counterparts. The old addage, location, location, location, is appropriate but not sufficient to describe premier properties. We believe such properties often offer superior design, construction, amenities and management. These traits are integral with having the best location or views in town. In some cases these are perceived to be landmark properties. They often command superior rents and prices. During market downturns, when the average property goes wanting for tenants, premier properties are more likely to hold their occupancy levels, and hence their cash flow generating potential.

The portfolio construction approach employed for this Fund is designed to broadly spread risk across numerous countries and companies. Our goal is to minimize the risks that often cannot be foreseen, be they political or financial in nature, localized or global in impact. This diversified approach translates into small position sizes, typically no larger than 2 – 3% and rarely up to 5%. Unlike many other funds, we will not

concentrate the portfolio to track an index. We predict that many indices will broaden their scope over time following Alpine’s lead.

Alpine employs a top down – bottom up investment methodology which focuses on economic and demographic drivers of demand in relation to underlying supply conditions for property. Fundamentally, if demand exceeds supply, prices and rents should move higher. We are mindful that more mature economies tend to be slower growers, but more stable because of greater depth and breadth of economic activity, however, great potential may exist in emerging markets. The so called B.R.I.C. countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) are currently of particular interest currently for this portfolio since growth opportunities in cities or regions in these countries face supply constraints which could lead to an extended development cycle. We are mindful of the greater potential for volatility in emerging markets, so we seek to balance risk and opportunity for this portion of the Fund’s portfolio in terms of geographic spread and property type exposure. Even though Alpine has initiated or intensified our research effort in some of these countries over the past few years, it should be noted that this Fund has had varied exposure to emerging economies since inception in 1989.

Current Environment and Long Term Prospects

The publicly traded real estate equity market is currently going through a minor case of indigestion following the recent rise in interest rates and concerns over credit market risk spreads. This is almost exactly what happened last year, when the sector had an interim top on May 10th, 2006 while this year the interim top was May 7th. May 7th, was precisely five business days after the Fund received the IPO proceeds. Even though real estate market fundamentals continue to progress in a positive fashion, we believed that market sentiment for real estate stocks was becoming a bit fragile, similar in fashion to what happened last year. Thus, our short term strategy for the portfolio has been to invest initially to capture dividends and set selective core holdings while waiting for more attractive entry points to establish a number of our long term positions. Therefore, we entered the month of June with over 30% of the portfolio in cash and mainly large cap, liquid holdings. While we are not anticipating a major market break, we anticipate a 10% or greater correction. Accordingly, the Fund has significant opportunistic capacity and controlled exposure to current market volatility. We look forward to reporting in more detail to you on the situation after the June 30th calendar quarter end.

Our long-term view remains very positive. We think that valuations will continue to grow over time as rents and prices increase through the business cycle. Alpine’s view is that the current business cycle has just passed through a mid-cycle correction in the US, although current property prices may already anticipate a measure of future growth. In many foreign markets we think property growth potential is even stronger where the economies may have yet to move through the mid point of their business cycles. We think the current environment where interest rates have backed up from low levels is healthy in that inflation remains relatively controlled and liquidity abundant, even though employment levels are historically robust. Both business and consumer confidence levels are generally strong but not excessive. A major concern for property shares at this stage of the cycle would occur only if inflation accelerated while economies decelerated, creating a situation approaching stagflation. We do not see any potential for that over the horizon.

In conclusion, even though our short term perspective is cautious we remain very constructive for both the near and medium term. We believe that over the long run, real estate continues to perform favorably in contrast with many other industries. In particular, we believe that the global emergence of real estate securities is still in its early days. Studies indicate that the international portion of property held in public domain is much lower than in private holdings. By comparison the mall REIT sector in the US, covers a majority of all such properties. This suggests that conditions may arise in which public property companies could consolidate a significant portion of the world’s real estate market. Such a potential consolidation of the international real estate market may take many years. We believe that even a partial consolidation could provide additional opportunities for investors to participate in the global property marketplace. We look forward to sharing in the potential benefits along with all of our fellow investors in the Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund.

Sincerely,

Sam Lieber

	NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

1.     ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized, diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is high current income.

The Fund has no operations to date other than matters relating to its organization and the sale and issuance of 213,089.005 shares of beneficial interest in the Fund to a group consisting of Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC (“Alpine Woods”), certain of its officers and parties either related to or affiliated with those officers and 6,235.602 shares of beneficial interest in the Fund to the Independent Trustees at the initial subscription price of $19.10 per share. Alpine Woods serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Fund’s Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “AWP.”

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund.

Security Valuation: The net asset value (“NAV”) of shares of the Fund is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets by the number of outstanding shares. NAV is determined each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). In computing NAV, portfolio securities of the Fund are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of market quotations. In computing the Fund’s net asset value, portfolio securities that are traded on a securities exchange in the United States, except for option securities, are valued at the last reported sale price as of the time of valuation, or lacking any current reported sale at the time of valuation, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations. Each option security - traded on a securities exchange in the United States is valued at the last current reported sale price as of the time of valuation if the last current reported sale price falls within the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security. If the last current reported sale price as of the time of valuation does not fall within the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security, the security is valued at the mid-point of the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System, is valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), as determined by NASDAQ, or lacking an NOCP, the last current reported sale price as of the time of valuation by NASDAQ, or lacking any current reported sale on NASDAQ at the time of valuation, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations. Each over-the-counter option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued by the counterparty, or if the counterparty’s price is not readily available then by using the Black-Scholes method. Each other security traded over-the-counter is valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

When market quotations are not readily available or when the valuation methods mentioned above are not reflective of a fair value of the security, the security is valued at a fair value following procedures and/or guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, which may include utilizing a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing system. The Fund may also use fair value pricing, if the value of a security it holds is, pursuant to Board of Trustees guidelines, materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the primary market or exchange on which the security is traded. These procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees, which may be based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities that are generally recognized by institutional traders, a computerized matrix system, or appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the value of the portfolio security used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or official closing prices.

Securities that are principally traded in a foreign market are valued at the last current sale price at the time of valuation or lacking any current or reported sale, at the time of valuation, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the close of the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed at various times before the close of business on each day on which the NYSE is open. Trading of these securities may not take place on every NYSE business day. In addition, trading may take place in various foreign markets on Saturdays or on other days when the NYSE is not open and on which the Fund’s net asset value is not calculated. As stated above, if the market prices are not readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, the security will be priced at a fair value following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. In light of the judgment involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is accurate.

Foreign Securities: The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign securities. In the event that the Fund executes a foreign security transaction, the Fund will generally enter into a forward foreign currency contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks.

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is included with the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

9

Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund intends to make a level dividend distribution each month to its shareholders of the net investment income of the Fund after payment of Fund operating expenses. The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board of Trustees from time to time. If, for any monthly distribution, investment company taxable income, if any (which term includes net short-term capital gain) and net tax-exempt income, if any, is less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will generally be a tax-free return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. The Fund’s final distribution for each calendar year will include any remaining investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt income undistributed during the year, as well as all net capital gain realized during the year. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income, net tax-exempt income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the distribution would constitute capital gain (assuming the shares are held as capital assets).Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes: The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, that requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that, based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FASB Interpretation No. 48 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discounts. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the highest cost basis for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates: The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2.     INCOME TAXES

As of April 30, 2007, net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments based on federal tax costs was as follows:

Gross appreciation on investments (excess of value over tax cost)	$	369,616
Gross depreciation on investments (excess of tax cost over value)	(2,668,587		)
Net unrealized depreciation	(2,298,971		)
Total cost for federal income tax purposes	$	2,120,713,044

The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation and cost were primarily due to the differing tax treatment of foreign currency, investments in partnerships, and certain other investments.

	ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
	April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Unless the registered owner of common shares elects to receive cash by contacting The Bank of New York (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends or other distributions (together, “Dividends” and each, a “Dividend”) declared on common shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator for shareholders in the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. Shareholders that are not permitted to participate through their broker or nominee or who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all Dividends in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the common shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all Dividends in cash by contacting the Plan Administrator, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared Dividend. If you hold your shares through a broker, and you wish for all Dividends declared on your common shares to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a Dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued common shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued common shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the net asset value per share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in common shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per share exceeds the net asset value per share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued common shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open- Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued common shares at the net asset value per share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the net asset value is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per share, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date for purposes of determining the number of shares issuable under the Plan.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of the Fund’s shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any U.S. federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters.” Participants that request a sale of common shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions.

Shareholders participating in the Plan may receive benefits not available to shareholders not participating in the Plan. If the market price plus commissions of the Fund’s shares is higher than the net asset value, participants in the Plan will receive shares of the Fund for less than they could otherwise purchase them and will have shares with a cash value greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received on their shares. If the market price plus commissions is below the net asset

12

value, participants receive distributions of shares with a net asset value greater than the value of any cash distribution they would have received on their shares. However, there may be insufficient shares available in the market to make distributions in shares at prices below the net asset value. Also, because the Fund does not redeem its shares, the price on resale may be more or less than the net asset value.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, The Bank of New York, at One Wall Street, New York, New York 10286 or by calling tollfree (800) 432-8224.

CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Mr. Samuel Lieber presented information regarding the Adviser’s desire and ability to serve as the investment adviser to the Fund. Mr. Samuel Lieber discussed the Adviser’s performance as investment adviser for the Alpine closed-end funds and the Alpine open-end mutual funds for which each Trustee serves as trustee and the Adviser’s strategy and qualifications for providing advisory services to the Fund. Mr. Samuel Lieber discussed the Adviser’s services and fees in comparison to those by the investment advisers of other closed-end investment companies in the market. Mr. Samuel Lieber noted that certain comparable funds have advisory fees of 85 basis points based on total assets, but those funds utilize leverage resulting in advisory fees of 125 basis points. The Independent Trustees asked several questions of the Adviser including the Adviser’s belief in the validity of the proposed model for the Fund’s performance, discussion of the comparison data prepared by Lipper and the impact of the distinguishing characteristics of the Fund in comparison to the Alpine closed-end funds, including the focus on the real estate industry and “Premier Properties.” The Board evaluated the comparative data and noted certain distinctions as between the Fund and the comparables presented including the fact that several were fixed income or index funds and the impact of those distinctions. Outside legal counsel then presented to the Independent Trustees on their responsibilities in approving the investment advisory agreement. Outside legal counsel directed their attention to the Gartenberg memorandum that had been provided for their careful review in the Board Book. Outside legal counsel discussed the Gartenberg memorandum and the instructions to the Board which should be taken from it.

The Independent Trustees meeting in executive session then discussed their familiarity with the Adviser, its policies and procedures, and its staff and their confidence in their ability to perform based on this experience. They further discussed the depth of resources and skill that the Adviser has demonstrated in its management of Alpine’s other funds. The Independent Trustees also noted the efficiencies that should be expected by the Adviser also serving as investment adviser to the other Alpine Funds. In addition, the Independent Trustees noted the Adviser’s demonstrated ability to comply with dynamic regulatory requirements and the Adviser’s responsiveness to their requests in the past. The Independent Trustees then had a question and answer session with officers of the Adviser. They discussed their understanding of what the Adviser’s role will be and what responsibilities the Adviser will have regarding oversight of ALPS as the Fund’s administrator, who will be paid separate from the Adviser pursuant to an administration agreement. They discussed the information that had been provided to them regarding the Adviser’s fees, its profitability and expenses of the Fund and how this information compared to the data prepared by Lipper regarding other closed-end funds. The Independent Trustees clarified which fees and expenses of the Fund will be paid by the Adviser and which will be borne by the Fund. In their deliberations, the independent Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and the Independent Trustees attributed different weights to the various factors.

Based on the independent Trustees’ review and consultation with the Fund’s independent counsel during an executive session of the material aspects of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the foregoing factors and such other information believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees, including all of the independent Trustees voting separately, concluded that the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement is in the best interest of the Fund and determined that the compensation to the Adviser provided for in the Investment Advisory Agreement is fair and equitable.
