TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION

The TIAA Real Estate Account ("Account") is a segregated investment account of
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America ("TIAA") and was
established by resolution of TIAA's Board of Trustees on February 22, 1995,
under the insurance laws of the State of New York, for the purpose of funding
variable annuity contracts issued by TIAA. The Account commenced operations on
July 3, 1995. Teachers REA, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Account, began
operations in July 1996 and holds two properties in Virginia. Light Street
Partners, L.P. ("Light Street"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Account, began
operations in March 1997 and holds seven office buildings throughout the United
States. Prior to April 30, 1999, when the Account purchased the remaining 10%
interest, the Account had a 90% interest in Light Street. Teachers REA II, LLC,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Account, began operations in October 1997 and
holds one property in Pennsylvania. Teachers REA III, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Account, began operations in July 1998 and holds one property
in Florida.

The investment objective of the Account is a favorable long-term rate of return
primarily through rental income and capital appreciation from real estate
investments owned by the Account. The Account also invests in publicly-traded
securities and other instruments to maintain adequate liquidity for operating
expenses, capital expenditures and to make benefit payments.

TIAA employees, under the direction of TIAA's Board of Trustees and its
Investment Committee, manage the investment of the Account's assets pursuant to
investment management procedures adopted by TIAA for the Account. TIAA's
investment management decisions for the Account are also subject to review by
the Account's independent fiduciary, The Townsend Group. TIAA also provides all
portfolio accounting and related services for the Account. TIAA-CREF Individual
& Institutional Services, Inc. ("Services"), a subsidiary of TIAA, which is
registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., provides administrative and
distribution services pursuant to a Distribution and Administrative Services
Agreement with the Account.

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements may require management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income,
expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from those
estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Account, which are in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the Account and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

VALUATION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES: Investments in real estate properties are
stated at fair value, as determined in accordance with procedures approved by
the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Board as a whole; accordingly, the Account does not
record depreciation. Fair value for real estate properties is defined as the
most probable price for which a property will sell in a competitive market under
all conditions requisite to a fair sale. Determination of fair value involves
subjective judgement because the actual market value of real estate can be
determined only by negotiation between the parties in a sales transaction. Real
estate properties owned by the Account are initially valued at their respective
purchase prices (including acquisition costs). Subsequently, independent
appraisers value each real estate property at least once a year. The independent
fiduciary must approve all independent appraisers used by the Account. The
independent fiduciary can also require additional appraisals if it believes that
a property's value has changed materially or otherwise to assure that the
Account is valued correctly. TIAA's appraisal staff performs a valuation review
of each real estate property on a quarterly basis and updates the property value
if it believes that the value of the property has changed since the previous
valuation review or appraisal. The independent fiduciary reviews and approves
any such valuation adjustments which exceed certain prescribed limits. TIAA
continues to use the revised value to calculate the Account's net asset value
until the next valuation review or appraisal.

VALUATION OF MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Equity securities listed or traded on any
United States national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as
of the close of the principal securities exchange on which such securities are
traded or, if there is no sale, at the mean of the last bid and asked prices on
such exchange. Short-term money market instruments are stated at market value.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the
Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Board as a whole.

ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS: Real estate transactions are accounted for as of the
date on which the purchase or sale transactions for the real estate properties
close (settlement date). Rent from real estate properties consists of all
amounts earned under tenant operating leases, including base rent, recoveries of
real estate taxes and other expenses and charges for miscellaneous services
provided to tenants. Rental income is recognized in accordance with the billing
terms of the lease agreements. The Account bears the direct expenses of the real
estate properties owned. These expenses include, but are not limited to, fees to
local property management companies, property taxes, utilities, maintenance,
repairs, insurance and other operating and administrative costs. An estimate of
the net operating income earned from each real estate property is accrued by the
Account on a daily basis and such estimates are adjusted as soon as actual
operating results are determined. Realized gains and losses on real estate
transactions are accounted for under the specific identification method.

Securities transactions are accounted for as of the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded as earned and, for
short-term money market instruments, includes accrual of discount and
amortization of premium. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are accounted for on the
average cost basis.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the
Account is taxed as a segregated asset account of TIAA. The Account should incur
no material federal income tax attributable to the net investment experience of
the Account.

TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 3--MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

Under established management agreements, various services necessary for the
operation of the Account are provided, at cost, by TIAA and Services. TIAA
provides investment management services for the Account while distribution and
administrative services are provided by Services in accordance with a
Distribution and Administrative Services Agreement between the Account and
Services. Prior to April 30, 1999, an affiliate of the former minority partner
in Light Street provided certain management services for the properties owned by
Light Street. The charges for such services, for the six months ended June 30,
1999 amounted to $345,928 for investment advisory expenses and $104,673 for
administrative expenses which are recorded accordingly in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. TIAA also provides a liquidity guarantee
to the Account, for a fee, to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet
participant transfer and cash withdrawal requests in the event that the
Account's cash flows and liquid investments are insufficient to fund such
requests. TIAA also receives a fee for assuming certain mortality and expense
risks.

Fee payments are made from the Account on a daily basis to TIAA and Services
according to formulas established each year with the objective of keeping the
fees as close as possible to the Account's actual expenses. Any differences
between actual expenses and daily charges are adjusted quarterly.

NOTE 4--REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES

Had the Account's real estate property which was purchased during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 been acquired at the beginning of the period (January 1,
2000), rental income and real estate property level expenses and taxes for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 would have increased by approximately $8,610,000
and $2,366,000, respectively. In addition, interest income for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 would have decreased by approximately $3,879,000.
Accordingly, the total proforma effect on the Account's net investment income
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 would have been an increase of
approximately $2,365,000, if the real estate property acquired during the six
months ended June 30, 2000 had been acquired at the beginning of the period.

NOTE 5--LEASES

The Account's real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating lease
agreements which expire on various dates through 2021. Aggregate minimum annual
rentals for the properties owned, excluding short-term residential leases, are
as follows:

Years Ending
December 31,

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

At June 30, 2000, the TIAA Real Estate Account owned 55 real estate
properties, including 18 office properties, 18 industrial properties, 14
apartment complexes and 5 neighborhood shopping centers, representing 76.1% of
the Account's total investment portfolio. The Account also held investments in
commercial paper, representing 18.9% of the portfolio, real estate investment
trusts (REITs), representing 4.5% of the portfolio, and corporate bonds,
representing 0.5% of the portfolio.

The Account purchased one office property and two industrial properties
during the second quarter of 2000. Since the end of the quarter, the Account
purchased one industrial property and one office property. Shortly following the
office property purchase, the Account sold a 50% joint venture interest in the
property. The Account continues to pursue suitable property acquisitions, and is
currently in various stages of negotiations with a number of prospective
sellers. While attractive acquisition prospects are available in the current
market, significant competition continues to exist for the most desirable
properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

The Account's total net return was 4.88% for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 4.12% for the same period in 1999. The Account's net investment income,
after deduction of all expenses, was $ 67,919,924 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and $45,568,234 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a 49% increase.
This increase was the result of a 35% increase in net assets and a 70% increase
in the Account's real estate holdings from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of
$19,558,691 for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared with
$7,687,645 for the same period in 1999. This difference was due, for the most
part, to the fact that the Account's real estate holdings appreciated more
during the first six months of 2000 than in the same period of 1999. Also, the
Account's marketable securities (primarily its REIT holdings) increased in value
more in the first six months of 2000 than in the first six months of 1999.

The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 80% and 73% of
the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. The
remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by
investments in marketable securities.

Gross real estate rental income was $87,272,461 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and $54,196,751 for the same period in 1999. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account -
from 48 properties as of June 30,

1999 to 55 properties as of June 30, 2000. Interest income on the Account's
short-and intermediate- term investments for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and June 30, 1999 totaled $11,618,938 and $9,773,575, respectively. This
increase was due primarily to the growth in the Account's assets. Dividend
income on the Account's investments in REITs totaled $3,425,046 and
$3,952,403, respectively, for the same periods. Shares of REITs totaled 4.5%
of the Account investments as of June 30, 2000 and 7.4% as of June 30, 1999.

Total property level expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
$28,734,350 of which $10,562,743 was attributable to real estate taxes and
$18,171,607 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $17,424,461 of which $5,878,391 was
attributable to real estate taxes and $11,546,070 was attributable to operating
expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the first six months of
2000 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.

The Account also incurred expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 of $2,608,480 and $2,422,056, respectively, for investment advisory
services, $2,075,123 and $1,752,132, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services, and $978,568 and $755,846, respectively, for the
mortality and expense risk charges and the liquidity guarantee charges. Such
expenses increased as a result of the larger net asset base in the Account.

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

The Account's total net return was 2.67% for the three months ended June
30, 2000 and 2.51% for the same period in 1999. The Account's net investment
income, after deduction of all expenses, was $36,145,064 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and $23,375,431 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a
55% increase. This increase was the result of a 35% increase in net assets and a
70% increase in the Account's real estate holdings from June 30, 1999 to June
30, 2000.

The Account had net realized and unrealized gains on investments of
$14,102,599 and $9,751,015 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30,
1999, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the net increase
in unrealized appreciation of the Account's real estate properties. The Account
posted net unrealized gains on its real estate investments of $5,692,221 and
$2,496,507 in the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
respectively. It also posted net unrealized gains on its marketable securities
of $8,352,115 during the second quarter of 2000, as compared with net unrealized
gains of $7,041,473 during the same period in 1999.

The Account's real estate holdings generated approximately 79% and 72% of
the Account's total investment income (before deducting Account level expenses)
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. The
remaining portion of the Account's total investment income was generated by
investments in marketable securities.

Gross real estate rental income was $45,451,394 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and $27,997,860 for the same period in 1999. The higher real
estate income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was due primarily to
the increase in the number of properties owned by the Account. Interest
income on the Account's short- and intermediate-term investments for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 totaled $6,377,999 and
$5,409,410, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in
the Account's assets. Dividend income on the Account's investments in REITs
totaled $1,793,216 and $1,908,101, respectively, for the same periods, due to
the decrease in the size of the Account's REIT holdings.

Total property level expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were
$14,871,030 of which $5,670,503 was attributable to real estate taxes and
$9,200,527 represented operating expenses. Total property level expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 were $9,170,785, of which $3,205,340 was
attributable to real estate taxes and $5,965,445 was attributable to operating
expenses. The increase in property level expenses during the three month period
ended June 30, 2000 reflected the increased number of properties in the Account.

The Account also incurred expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 of $1,069,798 and $1,377,170 respectively, for investment advisory
services, $1,031,627 and $947,042, respectively, for administrative and
distribution services and $505,090 and $444,943, respectively, for the mortality
and expense risks assumed and the liquidity guarantee. Most of these expenses
increased as a result of the larger net asset base of the Account for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 over the three months ended June 30, 1999. However,
the investment advisory services expenses went down due in large part to the
reduction in estimated investment advisory charges that went into effect on May
1, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Account received
$81,441,060 and $61,559,407, respectively, in premiums and $165,388,322 and
$190,461,640, respectively, in net participant transfers from other TIAA and
CREF accounts. Transfer activity into the Account was stronger in the first six
months of 1999 than in the same period in 2000. At the same time, the Account
continued to receive a growing stream of premiums from participants in 2000.

At June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the Account's liquid assets (i.e., its
REITs, short- and intermediate-term investments, government securities and cash)
had a value of $478,264,392 and $585,568,454, respectively. The REIT holdings at
June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 were $90,900,854 and $110,132,043, respectively.
The Account plans to use much of the its liquid assets to purchase additional
suitable real estate properties. The remaining liquid assets will continue to be
available to meet expense needs and redemption requests (e.g., cash withdrawals
or transfers).

If the Account's liquid assets and its cash flow from operating activities
and participant transactions are not sufficient to meet its cash needs,
including redemption requests, TIAA's general account will purchase liquidity
units in accordance with TIAA's liquidity guarantee to the Account.
