Dear Sir/Madam:
On behalf of Cohen & Steers Advantage Income Realty Fund, Inc. ("the
Fund"), we transmit for filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act"), the Fund's registration statement on Form 8-A.
The Fund intends that the effective date of its registration under the
1934 Act will coincide with the effective date of the registration of its common
stock under the Securities Act of 1933 and its registration under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (File Nos. 333-39900 811-09993). The Fund
currently expects and intends that such registrations will become effective on
or about May 21, 2001.
Please direct any comments to the under signed at (212) 455-2210
Sincerely,
Brynn Peltz
