LET TER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS PRIME is a core portfolio comprised of high-quality properties actively managed by Morgan Stanley to generate top performance. Prime Property Fund’s third-quarter returns were muted compared to the Fund’s recent history as changes in real estate capital markets began to moderate returns across the portfolio. The return for the third quarter totaled 2.1%, comprised of a 1.0% income return and a 1.1% appreciation return, and resulted in a 14.0% return year-to-date. The Fund continues to post an extremely competitive total return over the trailing 12-months of 19.5%.

To generate superior performance in this environment, PRIME must continue to execute at the property level and drive income growth.

During the third quarter, U.S. credit markets reacted unfavorably to the continued weakness in the housing sector and the unwinding of the sub-prime mortgage markets. These factors acted as a contagion causing a broad re-pricing of risk and a rise in spreads in many financing markets but specifically in the Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) markets. Liquidity in the real estate debt markets slowed as securitized lenders contracted on new lending to focus on the syndication of the debt that was on their books from loans executed earlier in the year. It also appears we have entered a period of more conservative capital markets underwriting.

PRIME’s management team believes that properties that are most at risk for repricing are those located in secondary or tertiary markets or those that lack the quality, design and functionality desired by tenants. Due to aggressive lending markets in effect earlier in the year, spreads between top-tier and lower-tier assets eroded considerably. We believe these “second-tier” markets and assets are likely to have the greatest “snap-back” to more normalized pricing levels. In contrast to the sweeping repricing of risk in the capital markets and a more conservative approach in the financing markets, property fundamentals are favorable broadly across most property types and geographic regions. PRIME’s management team has focused the portfolio on assets and locations that we believe will benefit most from these strong property fundamentals. The portfolio continues to witness strong gains in income growth broadly. Trailing nine months “same store” income growth from 2006 to 2007 for the Fund totaled 6.1%, led by PRIME’s office sector with 13.0% income growth. Consistent with PRIME’s objective to maintain a tactical overweight to its office allocation, the Fund purchased more than $150 million in additional office holdings: 950 N. Glebe, located in Arlington, VA, and our partner’s remaining 8.1% interest in Two Park Avenue, allowing PRIME to now own 100% of this midtown Manhattan property. However, the Fund remains diligent with respect to portfolio diversification. PRIME completed its plan to sell a 50% interest in One Market Plaza in San Francisco to enhance diversification among property sectors, geographic locations and single-asset exposure. Despite this partial disposition in July at a price in excess of PRIME’s purchase price, and property level operations that met our expectations, the asset was written down in value later in the quarter, as a result of the “credit crunch” unfolding over the summer.

PRIME’s hotel portfolio had strong performance during the quarter, with a total return of 6.0%, comprised of an income return of 1.5% and an appreciation return of 4.4%. Renovations at both the Marriott East Side Hotel and the Boston Harbor Hotel are beginning to evidence their value through increased occupancy and room rates. The Fund will begin to mark its debt to market beginning in the first quarter of 2008, as a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.159, the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities-including an Amendment of FASB statement No.115. Although PRIME maintains modest debt levels, consistent with the strategy of a core fund, this practice may increase volatility of the Fund’s performance relative to its historic levels. We believe this is consistent with best practices in the industry and will continue to position PRIME as a leader in transparency to its investors. Additionally, PRIME now has a small queue formed for new investors entering the Fund. PRIME continues to receive strong interest from new clients, and we believe that this growth and diversification should be beneficial for the Fund and investors alike. Despite the recent evidence of a repricing of risk in all asset classes driven primarily by lack of liquidity in the debt markets, management believes that core real estate should perform well on a relative basis to other asset classes and that PRIME, specifically, is well-positioned because of its orientation towards high-quality assets, superior markets and focus on strong income growth. We appreciate your continuing support of PRIME and would be pleased to discuss any aspect of this report with you at your request. Sincerely,

Period ending September 30, 2007. Returns for periods less than one year are unannualized. Rates of return are time-weighted and include reinvestment of income. Income and appreciation returns may not equal total return due to the chain-linking of monthly returns. Except for “Total After Fees,” management fees have not been deducted in calculating “before-fee” rate of return. See Endnote 2 for important additional information on return comparisons with the NFI and Endnote 9 regarding the limitations of historical returns The NFI is a fund-level capitalization weighted, time-weighted return index and includes property investments at ownership share, cash balances and leverage (i.e., returns reflect the fund’s actual asset ownership positions and financing strategy). NFI returns presented are before fees The NFI begins as of the first quarter of 1978, inclusive. PRIME’s inception was August 20, 1973, however, NFI returns are for the 29-year 9-month period These returns do not reflect portfolio-level items (e.g., portfolio-level debt), and therefore the weighted average of the returns do not sum to PRIME's returns Represents PRIME's fund-level before-fee return and includes the effect of fund-level items

Same property net operating income increased 6.1% over 2006.

The positive variance in the apartment sector is due to increasing market rents across the portfolio.

■ The

favorable performance of the office sector is primarily attributable to leasing activity and increased occupancy at One Post Office Square, 500 Park Avenue, 1601 K Street and Hills Plaza. Additionally, the prepayment penalty received as a result of the early repayment of the 222 E. 41st Street note receivable contributed to the outperformance.











Renewals and expansions at Dadeland Mall, lower taxes at Fox Run Mall, and income from Rosedale Shopping Center’s new lifestyle center drove the positive performance in the retail sector. The increase was partially offset by the closing of two anchors at Christiana Mall. The favorable variance in the industrial sector is due to higher occupancy at several properties and a warehouse expansion at 12 Applegate Drive.

The hotel sector variance is due to increased room revenue as a result of the completed room renovation project at Marriott East Side and increased room revenue and food and beverage sales at Westchester Marriott through the first six months of 2007. Higher general and administrative expenses, led by personnel and relocation costs, drove the negative performance in the self storage sector. Interest income increased in 2007 as a result of increased cash balances and investment yields.

■ Interest

expense increased in 2007 primarily due to the issuance of $400 million and $500 million of additional unsecured notes payable in January 2007 and April 2007, respectively, and the issuance of an $840 million mortgage loan at One Market Plaza in August. These increases were partially offset by the repayment upon maturity of $150 million of unsecured notes payable in May 2007.

PORTFOLIO PERSPECTIVES “It appears that the challenges stemming from the

sub-prime mortgage markets have been a catalyst to a broad repricing of risk across financial markets;

we believe that PRIME is well-positioned given the

environment due to its high-quality portfolio and strong AMLI at Victoria Arbors, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

income growth potential.” David Morrison, Co-Head of PRIME

Apartment

Nationally, apartment fundamentals remained strong as demand was positively impacted by a combination of steady employment gains, a pullback in the residential mortgage markets and further expectation of falling home prices kept would-be home buyers in the rental market. PRIME’s apartment portfolio delivered a third-quarter total return of 2.8%, comprised of 1.2% income and 1.6% appreciation.

Year-to-date net operating income growth continues at a healthy 5.9% with Houston, Austin and Seattle exhibiting the strongest growth. The 2007 year-to-date average occupancy rate for . apartment holdings remained strong at 94.7%. During the third quarter, approval was granted for a new AMLI development just north of downtown Austin. The project, AMLI East Avenue, is to comprise 315 units and is part of a planned development that will also include office, retail and hotel uses. Leasing also commenced this quarter at AMLI Second Street, comprised of 231 units and approximately 43,000 square feet of retail in a downtown Austin mixed-use project and at AMLI La Villita in the Las Colinas submarket of Dallas, TX.

Office

Broadly, office markets continue to outpace rent and income growth relative to all other property sectors.

The lack of quality space alternatives coupled with corporations with strong profits expanding their businesses are allowing landlords to exert pricing pressure on rents. PRIME’s office portfolio delivered a third-quarter total return of 0.4%, comprised of 0.8% income and -0.4% appreciation.

Consistent with relatively tight market conditions, PRIME’s leasing activity was robust in the third quarter. Putnam Investments renewed its lease of 229,000 square feet at One Post Office Square for a term of 15 years. This tenant occupies the low-rise portion of the building and the terms achieved materially exceeded the underwritten assumptions in our valuation. At Two Park Avenue, Herrick Feinstein LLP’s existing lease of approximately 125,000 square feet was extended through late 2020 at an average rate that is $30 per square foot or 82% in excess of its current contract rate. In addition, Herrick Feinstein executed a lease for approximately 65,000 square feet of expansion space at today’s market rate. Salesforce.com is under agreement to renew and expand at One Market Plaza in San Francisco, and tenants comprising nearly 50,000 square feet at One Maritime Plaza are also committed to renew.

PRIME and its partner refinanced the mortgage at One Market Plaza in early August and secured long-term financing. The refinancing involved swapping floating rate debt to fixed rate. In accordance with accounting pronouncement, the swap instrument was required to be marked to

PORTFOLIO PERSPECTIVES market at quarter end, resulting in a negative impact to the office and overall portfolio returns this quarter. Office transaction activity for the quarter included the $45.8 million disposition of 222 East 41st Street in midtown Manhattan that resulted in an internal rate of return of 28.4%, and the acquisition of 950 N. Glebe in Arlington, VA, for $102.9 million.

950 N. Glebe Arlington, VA

Christiana Mall Newark, DE

Retail

Despite the consumer downturn, retail property fundamentals remain brisk with competitive rental growth and consistently high occupancy levels. PRIME’s retail portfolio delivered a thirdquarter total return of 3.0%, comprised of 1.3% income and 1.8% appreciation.

Net operating income at Christiana Mall in Delaware was 6.0% above budget through September. Recent leases include the renewal of Gap and the relocation and expansions of GameStop, Sunglass Hut and Banana Republic. Rolling 12-month in-line sales at the mall were approximately $775 per square foot compared to $715 per square foot a year ago. During the quarter, plans commenced for the $170 million expansion and redevelopment of the property, expected to be completed by 2010. The redevelopment will include the addition of a new Nordstrom anchor and 100,000 square feet of additional in-line shop space.

Industrial

Strong global trade continues to create robust demand and raise national occupancy levels, especially for well-located distribution warehouse space with access to ports. PRIME’s industrial portfolio delivered a third-quarter total return of 3.0%, comprised of 1.4% income and 1.6% appreciation.

13201 Wilfred Lane Rogers, MN

During the quarter, a five-year lease was executed with Publix Supermarkets at 425 Hartman Road, a 350,000+ square foot industrial property in metro Atlanta, and Walgreen Co. committed to a 10-year lease at 13201 Wilfred Lane, a 335,000+ square foot warehouse building in Minnesota.

Self Storage

Self storage delivered a third-quarter total return of 1.0%, comprised of 0.6% income and 0.4% appreciation.

At quarter end, 52 stores are open and operating with 38 stores considered stabilized. Eleven stores are in various stages of development at the end of the quarter. This sector’s income return continues to be impacted by properties not yet stabilized or under development, corporate overhead expense and weaker than anticipated performance, primarily in the Florida and Louisiana markets.

PORTFOLIO PERSPECTIVES Safeguard Storage Properties continues to pursue its insurance claims related to Hurricane Katrina. PRIME is also working with the company to explore strategic alternatives, which may include a recapitalization or outright sale.

Hotel

Nationally, the hotel sector continues to produce increases in rates and occupancy levels benefiting from little new supply and healthy demand from both business and leisure travelers attracted by a weakening dollar. PRIME’s hotel portfolio delivered a third-quarter total return of 6.0%, comprised of 1.5% income and 4.4% appreciation.

Post-renovation activity in PRIME’s hotel properties has continued to be favorable. Since

completing guest room renovations, Marriott East Side has exceeded its Average Daily Rate (ADR) and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) compared to budget by 2.8% and 3.9%, respectively, over the last four quarters. ADR and RevPAR exceeded last year by 12.7% and 11%, respectively. Year to date, EBITDA exceeded budget by 10.6%, despite significant renovation displacement.

Renovations have also boasted positive effects for the Boston Harbor Hotel. RevPAR exceeded budget by 4% for the quarter and 12.1% year to date. Despite the recent openings of the Intercontinental Hotel and Westin hotel nearby, Boston Harbor Hotel revenues for the third quarter were up 7.4% over last year, resulting in an increase of 13.9% in gross operating profits.

Investor Audience. The Quarterly Report has been prepared as an aid for clients of Prime Property Fund, LLC (PRIME). It is not an offering of interests in PRIME, which offering is made only pursuant to the more detailed information set forth in the Offering Memorandum relating to the Fund as supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Offering Memorandum”), including the various risk factors and conflicts of interest disclosures set forth therein. Performance Returns: • Represent time-weighted investment (portfolio) level returns. • Are presented before (i.e., gross of) investment management fees. • For less than one year are not annualized. For periods one year or greater, the performance returns represent average annual returns, i.e., annualized. • Include interest income from short-term investments. • Are presented with finalized financial results reasonably available as of the stated time period in the return presentation, which results are generally audited by a reputable out side firm within 90 days of PRIME’s fiscal year end (and subsequent to that will be unaudited). • Reflect the use of leverage by PRIME, which may exaggerate returns on an unlevered basis. • Include income which is based on accrual accounting and recognized at the investment level. Income Return Considerations. The sum of the income return component and the appreciation return component may not equal the total gross return because of the time weighting (i.e., chain linking) of component monthly returns. The income return may or may not approximate a distributed income to the investor, depending on PRIME’s cash distribution policy and elections made by the investor. Investment Return Factors. Investment returns for PRIME and the NCREIF indices reported here may vary based on a number of factors, including fund investment strategy and execution, overall real estate market movements during the period reported, amount of leverage. Sophistication in these areas is assumed. Reinvestment of Dividends. The results portrayed can vary by investor based on whether income is reinvested. As an open-end vehicle, PRIME has no initial investment period. Valuations. Frequency of valuation updates varies by portfolios reporting to NCREIF, as does the frequency of full independent third party appraisals of assets. PRIME commissions appraisals of its assets on a quartely basis. This appraisal is generally reported in a limited restricted report format, although it is reported in an expanded summary report format on an annual basis for approximately one third of PRIME’s properties (so that each property receives an expanded summary report at least once every three years). Effect of Compounding. Performance reported herein is only on an annualized, not cumulative, return basis. The cumulative, compounded effect of advisory fees on total returns can be significant. For example, assuming an 8% annual return to a portfolio, earned evenly over the period in question, and an annual asset management fee on equity equal to 1.15%, the total after fee return to the client would nominally be 6.85%. Over a one-, three-, five- and ten-year period, however, the cumulative actual returns would be 8.24% (gross) and 7.03% (net) for one year; 26.82% (gross) and 22.60% (net) for three years; 48.59% (gross) and 40.44% (net) for five years; and 120.80% (gross) and 97.23% (net) for ten years. NCREIF Property Index (NPI). The NPI industry benchmark has characteristics that may not be fully applicable to real estate funds against which it is being compared, and may be more or less volatile than a given fund with a more focused equity real estate investment strategy. Among the more important considerations in evaluating comparisons with NCREIF numbers: • NPI returns are presented before fees, and exclude portfolio level items such as credit facilities and professional fees. PRIME returns are presented before fees as well, but include such additional items. • NPI returns are presented on a delevered basis (i.e., both leveraged and unleveraged properties are included without distinction). • NPI returns exclude development, agricultural and other non-income producing properties. Depending on the time period reported, PRIME returns may include such items. • The assets reported to NCREIF have historically tended, on an overall basis, to be more concentrated in particular asset classes (e.g., office) than may be the case for PRIME or the economy at large. In recent years, return information is also tracked by NCREIF for specific asset subindices, but on a smaller reporting base. Information reported here is from the overall index (i.e., the NPI) unless otherwise noted. • The NPI includes assets at 100% rather than at ownership share. Historical Performance Limitations; Possibility of Losses. Historical performance is not an indication of future results. Losses can result from investment in real estate, including through PRIME. To the extent target returns for PRIME are indicated, there can be no assurance that such targets will not change in the discretion of the advisor, that target returns will be achieved or that there will not be loss of principal. Limitations of Projections and Other Forward-Looking Statements. Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Sentences or phrases that use such words as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “hope,” “can,” “will,” “expect,” “goal,” “should,” “objective” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Readers should be aware that return projections and other forward-looking statements are by their nature uncertain insofar as actual realized returns or other projected results can change quickly based on, among other things, unexpected market movements, changes in interest rates, legislative or regulatory developments, errors in strategy execution, acts of God, and other asset-level developments. Readers should also assume that any financial information that is not provided as of a year-end period is unaudited. PRIME undertakes no obligation to update or reverse any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Other Funds and Assets of the Sponsor and its Affiliates; Return Portability Issues. To the extent recent transactions or individual assets are highlighted in the discussion herein, they may not be representative of all assets held by PRIME or advised by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing Group and its affiliates also manage and/or have managed other commingled funds with different investment strategies, and separate accounts, whose performance returns may be higher or lower than those highlighted here. Return information for any of these other clients, funds, or affiliated advisors may be significantly better or worse than those reported here. Also, performance information for PRIME, which was previously advised by Lend Lease Real Estate Investments, Inc. or its predecessor entities during a significant portion of the periods presented, is included where it has been concluded that because of substantial overlap of personnel and other factors, reporting such information would be helpful. Discussion Materials Not an Offer, Contract or Investment Advice; Certain Important Risks. The Quarterly Report does not constitute or form a part of, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities of PRIME and does not constitute any form of commitment or recommendation on the part of Morgan Stanley. Securities offers and/or solicitations will be made only through the Offering Memorandum. As a limited liability company, only the operative documents creating such arrangements, when fully executed and delivered, will be controlling of the parties’ legal rights and obligations with respect to the subject matter thereof. Recipients must not construe the contents of this Quarterly Report as investment, legal or tax advice. Each recipient should consult its legal counsel, tax advisor and other appropriate consultants as to the business, legal, tax and related matters concerning an investment through an investment advisory relationship with Morgan Stanley or an investment in a Morgan Stanley fund including particularly, but not limited to, the risks identified in the Offering Memorandum. Availability of Adviser’s Form ADV. Morgan Stanley Real Estate Advisor, Inc., (“MSREA”) the manager and registered investment advisor for PRIME, and various other Morgan Stanley affiliates that are registered as investment advisors with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) have filed with the SEC, and are required to update periodically, Form ADV. Part II to the Form ADV contains essential information about a given investment advisory firm, including information about firm management, clients, fee arrangements and the handling of conflicts of interest, and the SEC requires that it be sent to all prospective clients who might enter into an advisory agreement prior to execution. Upon request, MSREA will furnish a copy of its Form ADV without charge to any investor in PRIME. Please contact the Morgan Stanley Law Division (404 846-1300) for a copy.
