PART I

Item 1. Business

The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Real Property Account” or the “Registrant”) was established on November 20, 1986. Pursuant to New Jersey law, the Real Property Account was established as a separate investment account of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”). The Real Property Account was established to provide a real estate investment option offered in connection with the funding of benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by Prudential.

The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership, a general partnership organized under New Jersey law on April 29, 1988, was formed through an agreement among Prudential, Pruco Life Insurance Company and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, to provide a means for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by the respective companies to be invested in a commingled pool.

The Partnership has an investment policy of investing at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans. The largest portion of these real estate investments are direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate, such as office buildings, shopping centers, hotels, apartments, or industrial properties. Approximately 10% of the Partnership’s assets are generally held in cash or invested in liquid instruments and securities although the Partners reserve discretion to increase this amount to meet partnership liquidity requirements.

Office Properties – The Partnership owns office properties in Lisle, Illinois; Brentwood, Tennessee; and Beaverton, Oregon. Total square footage owned is approximately 370,550, of which 87%, or 321,410 square feet, are leased between 1 and 10 years.

Apartment Complexes – The Partnership owns apartment properties in Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina, comprising a total of 855 apartment units, of which 94%, or 802 units, are leased. Leases range from month to month to one year.

Retail Property – The Partnership owns retail properties in Roswell, Georgia; Ocean City, Maryland; Hampton, Virginia; Dunn, North Carolina; and Westminster, Maryland. Total square footage owned is approximately 942,056 of which 85%, or 805,415 square feet, are leased between 1 and 30 years.

Hotel Property – The Partnership owns a hotel property in Lake Oswego, Oregon. This joint venture investment has 161 rooms. Occupancy for the year ended 2007 averaged 76%.

Investment in Real Estate Trust – The Partnership liquidated its entire investment in REIT shares in December 2001. The Partnership does, however, maintain a preferred equity investment in an existing private real estate investment trust, or “REIT” (See Item 7).

The Partnership’s investments are maintained so as to meet the diversification requirements set forth in treasury regulations issued pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the investments of variable life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts. Section 817(h) requires, among other things, that the partnership will have no more than 55% of the assets invested in any one investment, no more than 70% of the assets will be invested in any two investments, no more than 80% of the assets will be invested in any three investments, and no more than 90% of the assets will be invested in any four investments. To comply with regulatory requirements of the State of Arizona, the Partnership will limit additional investments in any one parcel or related parcels to an amount not exceeding 10% of the Partnership’s gross assets as of the prior fiscal year.

For information regarding the Partnership’s investments, operations, and other significant events, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The following is a description of general conditions in the U.S. real estate markets. It does not relate to specific properties held by the Partnership. The Partnership does not have widely diversified holdings; therefore, the discussions of vacancy rates, property values and returns in this section are not necessarily relevant to the Partnership’s portfolio. These results are not indicative of future performance.

MARKET CONDITIONS

Commercial property market fundamentals remained generally healthy in 2007 despite the ongoing turmoil in the credit market stemming from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market. Although transaction volume and leasing activity for the year as a whole remained robust, property sales and leasing slowed sharply over the second half of the year due to the still-deepening troubles in the capital markets and increasing uncertainty about the near-term trajectory of the U.S. economy. With the slowing economy likely to weigh on tenant demand in the near term and with liquidity throughout the debt markets still receding, the risks in the commercial real estate markets in 2008 are clearly weighted to the downside.

Debt Market

The commercial real estate debt markets could not escape the fallout from the subprime mortgage debacle that disrupted the financial markets over the second half of 2007. As mounting losses in securities backed by subprime loans undermined investor confidence, investor demand for commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and commercial real estate CDOs fell sharply, causing spreads to widen dramatically. Although new issuance of CMBS still managed to reach another record high domestically and globally, with more than $230 billion issued in the United States and about $315 billion issued worldwide, most of the volume involved deals that were completed in the first half of the year. Balance sheet lenders (e.g., insurance companies) and commercial banks remain active and continue to lend on a wide range of commercial real estate opportunities, including new development. However, with conduit lenders on the sidelines, there is simply less capital available than at this time last year.

Public Real Estate Securities

The U.S. REIT market struggled through a difficult and volatile year in 2007. After reaching an all-time high in February, equity REITs whipsawed investors over the rest of the year. On several occasions, it appeared as though the REIT market had finally found the bottom and was beginning to stabilize. The ensuing rallies, which were fueled mostly by investors covering short positions rather than building long positions, invariably lost momentum, however, and REITs resumed their downward slide. By the time 2007 mercifully came to a close, the FTSE NAREIT equity REIT index had delivered a dismal –15.7% total return. It marked the first time since 1999, the last year in which the REIT index posted negative total returns, that equity REITs have underperformed the S&P 500.

Property Markets

Office: The office sector continued to attract significant investor interest in 2007. According to Real Capital Analytics, or “RCA,” office transaction volume soared to more than $211 billion in 2007, an increase of nearly 55% over the volume in 2006. Office space market fundamentals in most markets remain balanced in part because high replacement costs have kept new supply very modest and office employment has continued to grow. Vacancy rates have been edging higher in suburban markets; but in most central business districts (CBDs), availability remains tight and large blocks of space often are scarce. According to Torto Wheaton Research, or “TWR,” the average office vacancy rate in its 56 market coverage universe fell from 12.6% at year-end 2006 to 12.5% in 4Q07, its lowest level since 2Q01.

Industrial: Investor demand for warehouse properties also remained fairly strong in 2007, despite a modest slowdown in leasing activity in 4Q07. According to RCA, industrial transaction volume totaled nearly $46 billion in 2007, a 7% increase over the total in 2006. As in other property types, however, transaction volumes declined over the final months in 2007. Industrial space market fundamentals remained mostly stable last year despite steady additions to supply. Deliveries of new space outpaced absorption in the fourth quarter, causing a modest increase in vacancy. According to Torto Wheaton Research, the average warehouse vacancy rate increased to 9.7% from 9.6% last year, but most markets remain at or near equilibrium today.

Residential: The sharp downturn in the housing market is having mixed effects on the apartment market. In cities and regions where housing was booming and where new development was most active, excess inventory of housing units has caused apartment vacancy rates to rise and rent growth to stall. But in most markets, home prices still have farther to fall before the gap between the costs of owning and renting begin to favor ownership. Although apartment transaction volume increased slightly last year, a handful of large transactions, including the privatization of one of the largest apartment REITs, Archstone-Smith, accounted for much of the total activity.

Retail: Concerns about the consumer continue to weigh on the near-term outlook for retail real estate. Retail sales growth has slowed noticeably since this time last year, and after backing out gas and food – non-discretionary expenses that have been growing much faster than “core” inflation – retail sales growth is much weaker even than headlines might suggest. Although retail transaction activity increased more than 34% in 2007, the volume and velocity of deals slowed sharply over the second half of the year as large transactions became very difficult to finance.

Hotel: The lodging sector appears to have been the least affected so far by the recent hesitation in business and consumer spending. Hotel occupancies were little changed in 2007. According to Smith Travel Research, the average occupancy rate across the U.S. hotel market was about 63% in 2007, roughly the same as in 2006. With stable occupancy and a 5.9% increase in average daily rates, revenue per available room (RevPAR) grew at a healthy 5.7% pace in 2007. Luxury hotels in urban markets continued to outperform all other segments, thanks in part to an undersupply of rooms in a few major markets and to strong demand from foreign travelers in gateway cities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risks. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks are not exclusive, and additional risks to which we are subject include, but are not limited to, the factors mentioned under “Forward-Looking Statements” above and the risks of our businesses described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from investments depend on the amounts of income generated and expenses incurred. If investment properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, cash flow will be adversely affected.

The revenues and value of a particular real estate investment may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the cyclical nature of the real estate market, general national economic conditions, local economic conditions, local real estate conditions, and fluctuations in operating costs, including real estate taxes and utilities. Certain significant expenditures associated with each equity investment, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness, and if the mortgaged property is unable to produce enough revenue to cover its mortgage or other debt payments, a loss could be sustained as a result of foreclosure on the property or the exercise of other remedies by the lender. In addition, a property’s revenues and real estate value may also be affected by such factors as potential liability under applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, which may vary widely depending upon location, including tax laws, environmental laws, Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements, and rent stabilization laws.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Contract owners participating in the Real Property Account have no voting rights with respect to the Real Property Account.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities

Owners of the Contracts may participate by allocating all or part of the net premiums or purchase payments to the Real Property Account. Contract values vary with the performance of the Real Property Account’s investments through the Partnership. Participating interests in the Real Property Account are not traded in any public market; therefore a discussion of market information is not relevant.

As of December 31, 2007, approximately 31,468 contract owners of record held investments in the Real Property Account.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

All of the assets of the Real Property Account, or the “Account” are invested in the Partnership. Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the Account are contingent upon those of the Partnership. Therefore, this management’s discussion and analysis addresses these items at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, or collectively, the “Partners”.

The following discussion and analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership and the related Notes included in this filing.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2007, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $18.2 million, a decrease of approximately $15.2 million from $33.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of the Partnership’s retail investment in Dunn, North Carolina and apartment investments in Charlotte, North Carolina and Austin, Texas, as described below. Partially offsetting this decrease was the sale of the Partnership’s industrial investment in Aurora, Colorado and retail investment in Kansas City, Kansas, as described below. In addition, sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 6% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

Acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2007 included the purchase of three properties. In May, the Partnership invested approximately $22.7 million to acquire a 225-unit garden apartment property located in Austin, Texas. In August, the Partnership made a contribution of approximately $6.0 million to fund the purchase of a 193,235 square foot neighborhood/community shopping center located in Dunn, North Carolina. In September, the Partnership invested approximately $13.5 million to acquire a 140-unit garden apartment property located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2007 included the sale of two properties. On February 7, 2007 the Partnership’s industrial property located in Aurora, Colorado was sold, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $14.7 million to the Partnership. On June 29, 2007 the Partnership sold the retail investment in Kansas City, Kansas, which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $3.7 million after the repayment of debt.

The Partnership spent approximately $3.2 million on capital improvements to various existing properties during 2007. Approximately $1.5 million was associated with redevelopment costs at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland, approximately $0.6 million funded the renovation of the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia, approximately $0.3 million was associated with capital improvements at the office properties in Nashville, Tennessee and approximately $0.3 million was associated with leasing costs at the office property in Beaverton, Oregon. The remaining $0.5 million was associated with minor capital improvements and transaction costs related to leasing expenses of various other properties.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Net Investment Income Overview

The Partnership’s net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $12.7 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million from approximately $11.2 million from the prior year. The office, apartment, retail and hotel sector investments posted increases of approximately $0.5 million, $1.0 million, $0.9 and $0.1 million, respectively, from the prior year. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in net investment income in the industrial sector of approximately $0.7 million. Other net investment income (loss) increased approximately $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the prior year. The components of this net investment income are discussed below by property type sector.

Valuation Overview

The Partnership recorded a net realized gain of approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net realized gain of approximately $0.1 million for the prior year. The Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain of approximately $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net unrealized gain of approximately $18.3 million for the prior year. The Partnership recorded a net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $18.4 million for the prior year. The net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was attributable to valuation gains in the office, apartment and hotel sectors. Partially offsetting these gains for the year ended December 31, 2007 was a loss recorded in the retail sector. The components of these valuation gains and/or losses are discussed below by property type sector.

The following table presents a comparison of the Partnership’s sources of net investment income, and realized and unrealized gains or losses by investment type for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

(1)		The Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois office property was sold on June 8, 2005 but certain post-closing adjustments were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $0.5 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased occupancy at the office properties in Lisle, Illinois and Beaverton, Oregon and stabilized occupancy and increased rents at the office properties in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain of approximately $2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net unrealized gain of approximately $2.5 million for the prior year. The net unrealized gain of approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to increased occupancy at the office properties in Lisle, Illinois and Beaverton, Oregon and continued improving market fundamentals at the office properties in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s apartment properties was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $1.0 million from the prior year. The increase in net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the acquisition of the apartment properties in Austin, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina on May 8, 2007 and September 6, 2007, respectively.

Total Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain of approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $3.7 million for the prior year. The net unrealized gain for the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the acquisition of the apartment property in Austin, Texas that resulted in approximately $4.4 million in valuation gains. Partially offsetting this gain were unrealized losses of approximately $0.7 million at the apartment property in Raleigh, North Carolina, due to continued soft market conditions and $0.5 million at the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia, due to capital improvements expended in connection with the renovation of the property.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $0.9 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the additional net investment income generated by the Westminster, Maryland and Dunn, North Carolina retail properties that were acquired on June 13, 2006, and August 17, 2007, respectively, and reduced expenses at the Kansas City, Kansas retail property prior to the sale.

Total Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net realized and unrealized loss of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $6.3 million for the prior year. The net realized and unrealized loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the $3.8 million loss recorded at the retail property in Roswell, Georgia, which reflects revised offers received in connection with the continued sale marketing efforts of the property. In addition, redevelopment and leasing expenses amounted to approximately $0.1 million in unrealized losses for the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland. Partially offsetting these unrealized losses were (a) unrealized gains at the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina subsequent to its acquisition on August 17, 2007 at a discount to replacement cost, which resulted in approximately $0.7 million in valuation gains; (b) unrealized gains of approximately $0.5 million at the retail property in Hampton, Virginia due to continued investor demand; (c) realized gains of $0.3 million due to the disposition of the retail property in Kansas City, Kansas on June 29, 2007; and (d) unrealized gains of $0.1 million at the retail property in Westminster, Maryland due to improving market fundamentals.

Other

Other net investment income (loss) increased approximately $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the prior year. Other net investment income includes interest income from short-term investments and investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses.

(c) Inflation

The Partnership’s leases with a majority of its commercial tenants provide for recoveries of expenses based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which may partially reduce the Partnership’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “U.S. GAAP”, requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Management reviews critical estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. If management determines, as a result of its consideration of facts and circumstances that modifications in assumptions and estimates are appropriate, results of operations and financial position as reported in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership may change significantly.

The following sections discuss those critical accounting policies applied in preparing the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.

Valuation of Investments

Real Estate Investments – Real estate investments are shown at estimated market value in accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s contracts. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition. Market value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of Prudential Investment Management, Inc., or “PIM”, which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., is responsible for assuring that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property market value estimates. An unaffiliated third party appraisal firm has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. Unless a property is currently held for sale, the market value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnership’s financial statements with properties valued as described above. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at the original investment amount, plus or minus additional amounts invested or distributed, and is subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, including unrealized appreciation and depreciation, from the underlying entity.

The Partnership periodically enters into forward contracts to acquire, for a fixed price, real estate investments to be constructed in accordance with predetermined plans and specifications or that achieve a certain level of leasing. Where conditions precedent to funding have been met by its development partner, and the Partnership’s commitment to fund is firm, the amount of any unrealized gain or loss is recognized based upon the difference between the estimated investment’s market value as described above and the Partnership’s funding obligation. The funding obligation and related assets are recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Land and development properties held for future development is carried at acquisition cost including soft costs incurred prior to development.

As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, because market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes that these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and that the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2007, and 2006.

Other Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk —The Partnership’s exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 20.4% of its investment portfolio as of December 31, 2007, which consists primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. In accordance with its policy, the Partnership places its investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to maturity except under unusual circumstances.

The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the Partnership’s cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2007:

The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of December 31, 2007. All of the Partnership’s long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from tenants. While the Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of significant increases in interest rates and/or an economic downturn, delinquencies could increase and result in losses to the Partnership and the Account that could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Prudential (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2007, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, based on the framework established inInternal Control – Integrated FrameworkIssued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment under that framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by or under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Contract Owners of
The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account
and the Board of Directors of
The Prudential Insurance Company of America

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of shares at December 31, 2007 with The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
December 31, 2007

Note 1: General

The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Account”) was established on November 20, 1986 by resolution of the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”) as a separate investment account pursuant to New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The assets of the Account are segregated from Prudential’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Prudential. These products are Variable Appreciable Life (“PVAL and PVAL $100,000+ Face Value”), Discovery Plus (“PDISCO+”), and Variable Investment Plan (“VIP”).

The assets of the Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the sole investors in the Partnership. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Partnership.

The Partnership has a policy of investing at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

A. Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In September 2006, the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC”, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or “SAB”, No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” The interpretations in this SAB express the staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. Specifically, the SEC staff believes that registrants must quantify the impact on current period financial statements of correcting all misstatements, including both those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods. This SAB must be applied beginning with the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with early adoption encouraged. Since the Account’s method for quantifying financial statement misstatements already considers those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods, the adoption of SAB No. 108 should have no effect on the financial position and result of operations of the Account.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this Statement could change current practices in determining fair value. The Account expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2008. The Account’s adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Account expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2008. The Account’s adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

B. Investment in Partnership Interest

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s market value. At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the Account’s interest in the Partnership was 40.6% or 2,741,864 shares.

Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership's audited financial statements.

C. Income Recognition

Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily. Amounts are based upon the Account’s proportionate interest in the Partnership.

F-5

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
December 31, 2007

D. Equity of The Prudential Insurance Company of America

Prudential maintains a position in the Account for liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not affect contract owners’ accounts or the related unit values.

Note 3: Taxes

Prudential is taxed as a “life insurance company”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The results of operations of the Account form a part of PFI’s consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements.

Note 7: Financial Highlights

Prudential sells a number of variable annuity and variable life insurance products. These products have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the contract owner’s account balance. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns.

The following table was developed by determining which products offered by Prudential have the lowest and highest total expense ratio. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options as discussed in Note 1. The table reflects contract owner units only.


	At year ended						For year ended
	Units		Unit Value		Net Assets		Investment			Expense Ratio **	Total Return ***
	(000’s)		Lowest- Highest		(000’s)		Income Ratio *			Lowest-Highest	Lowest-Highest

The table above reflects information for units held by contract owners. Prudential also maintains a position in the Real Property Account, to provide for property acquisitions and capital expenditure funding needs. Prudential held 10,452,719, 9,807,865, 10,086,116, 10,421,720 and 10,619,027 units representing $28,200,465, $24,772,123, $22,480,400, $20,733,052 and $20,075,011 of net assets as of December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Charges for mortality risk, expense risk and administrative expenses are used by Prudential to purchase additional units in its account resulting in no impact to its net assets.


*		This amount represents the proportionate share of the net investment income from the underlying Partnership divided by the total average assets of the Account. This ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality risk, expense risk and administrative charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values.

**		These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Partnership are excluded.

***		These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Partnership, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

Charges and Expenses

A. Mortality Risk and Expense Risk Charges

Mortality risk and expense risk charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 1.2%, 0.9%, 0.6% and 1.2% for PDISCO+, PVAL, PVAL $100,000 + face value and VIP, respectively. Mortality risk is the risk that life insurance contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and expense risk is the risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may exceed related charges by Prudential. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.

B. Cost of Insurance and Other Related Charges

Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being invested in the Account. The deductions for PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value are (1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges, up to 0.50%, which are deducted in order to compensate Prudential for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs which are deducted from each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are subject to charges on each basic premium for assuming a guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. This charge compensates Prudential for the risk that an insured may die at a time when the death benefit exceeds the benefit that would have been payable in the absence of a minimum guarantee. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
December 31, 2007

C. Deferred Sales Charge

A deferred sales charge, applicable to PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value and not to exceed 50% of the first year’s primary annual premium for PVAL contracts, is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Prudential for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued. No sales charge will be imposed after the tenth year of the contract. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits.

Also a deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawals of certain purchase payments to compensate Prudential for sales and other marketing expenses for PDISCO+ and VIP. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the amount withdrawn and the number of contract years that have elapsed since the contract owner or annuitant made the purchase payments deemed to be withdrawn. No sales charge is made against the withdrawal of investment income. A reduced sales charge is imposed in connection with the withdrawal of a purchase payment to affect an annuity if three or more contract years have elapsed since the contract date, unless the annuity effected is an annuity certain. No sales charge is imposed upon death benefit payments or upon transfers made between subaccounts. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

D. Partial Withdrawal Charge

A charge is imposed by Prudential on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a contract. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

E. Annual Maintenance Charge

An annual maintenance charge, applicable to PDISCO+ and VIP, of $30 will be deducted if and only if the contract fund is less than $10,000 on a contract anniversary or at the time a full withdrawal is effected, including a withdrawal to effect an annuity. The charge is made by reducing accumulation units credited to a contract owner’s account.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
For Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005


Note 1: Organization

On April 29, 1988, The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”), a general partnership organized under New Jersey law, was formed through an agreement among The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life”), and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“Pruco Life of New Jersey”). The Partnership was established as a means by which assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by the respective companies could be invested in a commingled pool. The partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life and Pruco Life of New Jersey.

The Partnership’s policy is to invest at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans.

The estimated market value of the Partnership’s shares is determined daily, consistent with the Partnership Agreement. On each day during which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, the net asset value of the Partnership is estimated using the estimated market value of its assets, principally as described in Notes 2A, 2B and 2C below, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A, 2B and 2C below and other adjustments to previous estimates are made on a prospective basis. There can be no assurance that all such adjustments to estimates will be made timely.

Shares of the Partnership are held by The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Real Property Accounts”) and may be purchased and sold at the then current share value of the Partnership’s net assets. Share value is calculated by dividing the estimated market value of net assets of the Partnership as determined above by the number of shares outstanding. A contract owner participates in the Partnership through interests in the Real Property Accounts.

PREI^® is the real estate advisory unit of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”). PREI provides investment advisory services to the Partnership’s partners pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement as described in Note 9.


Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation– The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been presented on the market value basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements of Partnership include wholly owned entities, and those real estate partnerships in which the Partnership has a controlling interest. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management’s Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements –The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
For Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005


Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

C:		Real Estate Investments– Real estate investments are shown at estimated market value in accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s contracts. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition. Market value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of PIM is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property market value estimates. An unaffiliated third party appraisal firm has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. Unless a property is currently held for sale, the market value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

		Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnerships’ financial statements with properties valued as described above. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at the original investment amount, plus or minus additional amounts invested or distributed, and is subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, including unrealized appreciation and depreciation, from the underlying entity.

		Land and development properties held for future development is carried at acquisition cost including soft costs incurred prior to development.

		The Partnership periodically enters into forward contracts to acquire, for a fixed price, real estate investments to be constructed in accordance with predetermined plans and specifications or those achieve a certain level of leasing. Where conditions precedent to funding have been met by its development partners, and the Partnership’s commitment to fund is firm, the amount of any unrealized gain or loss is recognized based upon the difference between the estimated investment’s market value as described above and the Partnership’s funding obligation. The funding obligation and related assets are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, no such funding obligation existed.

		As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

D:		Other Real Estate Investments– Other real estate investments include short term notes receivable, which are valued at the amount due and approximate market value.

E:		Cash and Cash Equivalents– Cash and cash equivalent are comprised of all short-term investments and investments in money market funds with a maximum maturity of three months. Cash equivalents consist of investments in the Prudential Investment Liquidity Pool offered and managed by an affiliate of PFI and are accounted for at market value.

F:		Other Assets –Restricted cash of $186,736 and $167,311 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for tenant security deposits and is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other assets also include tenant receivables and are net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $39,764 and $211,058 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

G:		Investment Level Debt– Investment level debt is stated at the principal amount of the obligations outstanding. At times the Partnership may assume debt in connection with the purchase of real estate. For debt assumed, the Partnership allocates a portion of the purchase price to the below/above market debt and amortizes the premium/discount over the remaining life of the debt.

H:		Deferred Financing Costs– Included in Other Assets are deferred financing costs amounting to $36,072 and $309,894 which are net of accumulated amortization of $273,822 and $80,227 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and which are being amortized over the term of the related obligation.

I:		Revenue Recognition– Revenue from real estate is recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. Revenue from certain real estate investments is net of all or a portion of related real estate expenses, as lease arrangements vary as to responsibility for payment of these expenses between tenants and the Partnership. Since real estate is stated at estimated market value, net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense.

J:		Equity in Income of Real Estate Partnership– Equity in income from real estate partnership operations represents the Partnership’s share of the current year’s partnership income as provided for under the terms of the partnership agreements. As is the case with wholly owned real estate, partnership net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense. Frequency of distribution of income is determined by formal agreements or by the executive committee of the partnership.

K:		Federal Income Taxes– The Partnership is not a taxable entity under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The income and capital gains and losses of the Partnership are attributed, for federal income tax purposes, to the Partners in the Partnership. The Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

L:		New Accounting Pronouncements– FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), was issued in January 2003. In December 2003, FASB issued a revised interpretation of FIN 46 (FIN 46-R”) that supersedes FIN 46. FIN 46-R defers the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN46 for those companies currently accounting for their investments in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, “Audits of Investment Companies” (the “Audit Guide”). The FASB is currently considering modifying FIN 46-R to provide an exception for companies that apply the Audit Guide. The Partnership is awaiting the final determination from the FASB in order to evaluate the extent in which, if any, its equity investments may need to be consolidated as a result of this FIN 46-R.

		In September 2006, the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC”, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or “SAB”, No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” The interpretations in this SAB express the staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. Specifically, the SEC staff believes that registrants must quantify the impact on current period financial statements of correcting all misstatements, including both those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods. This SAB must be applied beginning with the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with early adoption encouraged. Since the Partnership’s method for quantifying financial statement misstatements already considers those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods, the adoption of SAB No. 108 had no effect on the financial position and result of operations of the Partnership.

		The Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 as of January 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a partnership should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the partnership has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 had no effect to the financial position and result of operations of the Partnership.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

L:		New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

		In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this statement could change current practices in determining fair value.

		In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement provides partnerships with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

		SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2008. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

		In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP 07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.


Note 3: Disclosure of Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity

Cash paid for interest during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, was $1,746,115, $1,806,320, and $2,324,397, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, a minority interest partner bought out the Account’s investment in a consolidated real estate partnership resulting in net proceeds of $15.9 million. This transaction resulted in the assumption of a mortgage loan by the partner of approximately $10.0 million and a reduction of the partner’s minority interest of $3.7 million.

(1)		Represents the Partnership’s interest in the loan based upon the estimated percentage of net assets which would be distributed to the Partnership if the partnership were liquidated at December 31, 2007. It does not represent the Partnership’s legal obligation.

(2)		The Partnership’s weighted average interest rate was 6.14% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The weighted average interest rates were calculated using the Partnership’s annualized interest expense for each loan (derived using the same percentage as that in (1) above) divided by the Partnership’s share of total debt.

(3)		Loan Terms PP=Prepayment penalties applicable to loan, I=Interest only, P&I=Principal and Interest

For debt maturing in 2008, it is anticipated that repayment will be provided by operating cash flow, deposits from clients, real estate investment sales, or refinancing debt.

As of December 31, 2007, mortgage loans payable on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships are payable as follows:


Year Ending December 31,	(in 000’s)

2008	$	16,090
2009		9,277
2010		565
2011		604
2012		646
Thereafter		4,940

Total	$	32,122

The mortgage loans payable of wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships are secured by real estate investments with an estimated market value of $90 million.

Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at December 31, 2007 for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the Partnership’s mortgages on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships have an estimated fair value of approximately $32 million, and a carrying value of $32 million. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect estimated fair value.

Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies

In 1986, Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the Partnership to acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership under this commitment have been utilized for property acquisitions, and were to be returned to Prudential on an ongoing basis from contract owners’ net contributions and other available cash. The amount of the commitment has been reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in current value net assets of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2007, the cost basis of Prudential’s equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment (held through the Real Property Accounts) was $44.2 million. Prudential terminated this commitment on December 31, 2002.

The Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. In the opinion of Prudential’s management, the outcome of such matters will not have a significant effect on the financial position of the Partnership.

Note 9: Other Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to an investment management agreement, PIM charges the Partnership a daily investment management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily gross asset valuation of the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 management fees incurred by the Partnership were $3.4 million, $3.1 million, and $2.8 million, for each of the years, respectively. The Partnership also reimburses PIM for certain administrative services rendered by PIM. The amounts incurred for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $53,630, $146,930; and $123,630; respectively, and are classified as administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership made the following distributions to the Partners:
