See “Risk Factors” included in this Annual Report Form 10-K for discussion of certain risks relating to the operation of the Partnership and investment in our securities.

PART I

Item 1. Business

The Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Real Property Account” or the “Registrant”) was established on August 27, 1986. Pursuant to Arizona law, the Real Property Account was established as a separate investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life”). 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 Pruco Life.

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 The Prudential Insurance Company of America, 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 General 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 372,007, of which 78%, or 288,322 square feet, are leased for terms ranging from 1 to 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 615 apartment units, of which 96%, or 591 units, are leased. Leases range from month-to-month to eighteen months.

Retail Property – The Partnership owns retail properties in Ocean City, Maryland; Hampton, Virginia; Dunn, North Carolina; and Westminster, Maryland. Total square footage owned is approximately 650,671 of which 79%, or 512,754 square feet, are leased for terms ranging from 1 to 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 2010 averaged 59%.

Investment in Real Estate Trust – The Partnership liquidated its entire investment in shares of a real estate investment trust, or “REIT” 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, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).

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 invested in any two investments, no more than 80% of the assets invested in any three investments, and no more than 90% of the assets invested in any four investments. Also, 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 more information regarding the Partnership’s investments, operations, and other significant events, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Item 8, Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The following is a description of general conditions in the U.S. real estate markets for 2010, to which the Partnership’s investments were subject. 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

Despite a slowing in the economy and job growth during the third quarter of 2010, the commercial real estate market continued to recover last year from the downturn in 2008/2009. Space market fundamentals, which always lag changes in the broader economy, remain weak but have stabilized and are beginning to improve in certain sectors and markets. Capital is returning to real estate, as investors and lenders become more confident in the demand outlook, but the market remains bifurcated with capital focused almost exclusively on the best quality assets in the largest markets. Although commercial property values have recovered from the low levels in the first half of 2009, a meaningful recovery in fundamentals most likely will not occur until job growth accelerates.

Debt Markets

The lending environment has improved, and while activity is far from pre-crisis levels, capital is more readily available today than a year ago. According to Commercial Mortgage Alert, a trade publication that tracks the commercial mortgage market, new issuance of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) climbed to $11.6 billion in 2010, compared with the $3.0 billion issued in 2009. Sentiment in the markets has shifted, with more lenders trying to complete transactions.

REIT Market

The U.S. REIT market continued to improve in 2010. The FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index, which tracks the performance of U.S. equity REITs and is published jointly by the FTSE Group and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), posted its second straight year of 28% total returns. REITs continued to strengthen their balance sheets, raising a near-record amount of capital, according to NAREIT.

Property Markets

Despite high unemployment and modest economic growth, the commercial property markets seem to have stabilized. Vacancy rates in the office, retail and warehouse sectors remain at or near their highest levels in the three decades for which data is readily available, according to CB Richard Ellis Econometric Advisors (CB Richard Ellis), a Boston-based real estate research firm. However, much of the space that was under construction when the downturn began has been delivered, and tenant demand is starting to increase. Notably, property types with relatively short lease durations (apartments and hotels) have seen broad improvements in performance, with occupancy rates and rents moving higher in select markets.

Hotels: Demand for hotel rooms rose in the second half of 2010 as leisure and business travelers returned in growing numbers, according to Smith Travel Research, a leading provider of lodging industry data. Although average hotel occupancy remained below the peak levels in 2007 and room rates have shown gradual increases, both metrics are moving in a positive direction. Hotel transaction volume is recovering, and capital for hotels is once again available for transactions in certain markets.

Office: With the exception of a few major markets where conditions are already improving, offices are at the bottom of the cycle. While vacancy rates are in the high teens in most markets, the national average improved slightly in the fourth quarter of 2010. According to CB Richard Ellis, the U.S. office vacancy rate decreased by 20 basis points (or 0.20 percentage points) in the fourth quarter, falling to 16.4%. Absorption will lag job creation, which means demand for space will be limited until job growth increases substantially from current levels.

Retail: Vacancy rates in the retail segment continued to climb in 2010, reaching their highest levels since the early 1990s, according to CB Richard Ellis. The deterioration of fundamentals slowed in recent months, however, as consumer spending began to improve. However, shopping centers face competition from online retailers and challenges stemming from ongoing troubles among local merchants and national chains, such as A&P, Blockbuster and Borders.

Apartment: Robust tenant demand for apartments prompted national vacancy rates to decline in 2010. According to New York-based real estate research firm Reis, healthy absorption last year served to reduce the U.S. vacancy rate to 6.6% by year-end 2010, a 150 basis point drop from a year earlier. The improvement is due to the release of pent-up demand that built up during the recession, the increase in jobs, the decline in the homeownership rate, and the expanding population of 20-29 year olds, who make up the prime renter demographic.

Industrial: Demand for warehouse space increased in the second half of 2010, focused on the largest national logistics hubs, while little new supply has been added. Recent increases in global trade, retail sales and manufacturing output are all good signs for the sector. However, before the segment recovers, the overhang of excess capacity – not just vacant space, but the underutilization of currently occupied warehouse stock – must be absorbed.

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 business described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our business and results of operations were materially adversely affected by the adverse conditions in the financial markets and adverse economic conditions generally that began in the second half of 2007 and continued into 2009. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected, possibly materially, if these conditions recur or deteriorate.

Due to the economic environment, the global fixed-income markets experienced both extreme volatility and limited market liquidity conditions, which affected a broad range of asset classes and sectors. These events had and, to the extent they persist or recur, may have an adverse effect on us. Our revenues are likely to decline in such circumstances, the cost of meeting our obligations to our customers may increase, and our profit margins could erode. In addition, in the event of a prolonged or severe economic downturn, we could incur significant losses in our investment portfolio.

The demand for our products could be adversely affected in an economic downturn characterized by higher unemployment, lower family income, lower consumer spending, lower corporate earnings and lower business investment. We also may experience a higher incidence of claims and lapses or surrenders of policies. Our policyholders may choose to defer or stop paying insurance premiums. We cannot predict definitively whether or when such actions, which could impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, may occur.

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will subject us to substantial additional federal regulation and we cannot predict the effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”), which effects comprehensive changes to the regulation of financial services in the United States and subjects Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential Financial) to substantial additional federal regulation. Dodd-Frank directs existing and newly-created government agencies and bodies to promulgate regulations implementing the law, a process anticipated to occur over the next few years. We cannot predict with any certainty the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted or how Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect the financial markets generally, impact our business, credit or financial strength ratings, results of operations, new securities law requirements, cash flows or financial condition or advise or require Prudential Financial to hold or raise additional capital, impose additional risk management requirements or impose new requirements for the rapid and orderly dissolution of Prudential Financial.

Changes in U.S. federal income tax law could make some of Prudential’s products less attractive to consumers and increase its tax costs.

Current U.S. federal income tax laws generally permit certain holders to defer taxation on the build-up of value of annuities and life insurance products until payments are actually made to the policyholder or other beneficiary and to exclude from taxation the death benefit paid under a life insurance contract. Congress from time to time considers legislation that could make Prudential’s products less attractive to consumers, including legislation that would reduce or eliminate the benefit of this deferral on some annuities and insurance products, as well as other types of changes that could reduce or eliminate the attractiveness of annuities and life insurance products to consumers, such as repeal of the estate tax.

For example, the estate tax was completely eliminated for 2010, but modified carryover basis rules applied for property acquired from decedent’s dying in that year. The estate tax has been reinstated through 2012 with a $5 million individual exemption, a 35% maximum rate and step-up in basis rules for property acquired from a decedent. Estates of decedents who died in 2010 can choose between the rules that were in effect in 2010 or the new rules. It is unclear what Congress will do with respect to the estate tax after 2012. This uncertainty makes estate planning difficult and may impact sales of Prudential’s products.

Congress, as well as state and local governments, also considers from time to time legislation that could increase the amount of taxes payable by Prudential.

On February 14, 2011 the Obama Administration released the “General Explanations of the Administration’s Revenue Proposals” or Revenue Proposals. Although the Administration has not released proposed statutory language, the Revenue Proposals includes proposals which if enacted, would affect the taxation of life insurance companies and certain life insurance products.

There is generally uncertainty regarding U.S. taxes both for individuals and corporations in light of the fact that many tax provisions recently enacted or extended will sunset by the end of 2012. In addition, the recommendations made by the President’s bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform and other deficit reduction panels suggest the need to reform the U.S. Tax Code. In addition, Congress plans to hold a number of hearings during 2011 devoted to tax reform. It is unclear whether or when Congress may take up overall tax reform and what would be the impact of reform on Prudential and its products. However even in the absence of overall tax reform the large federal deficit, as well as the budget constraints faced by many states and localities, increases the likelihood that Congress and state and local governments will raise revenue by enacting legislation increasing the taxes paid by individuals and corporations. This can be accomplished either by raising rates or otherwise changing the tax rules. While higher tax rates increase the benefits of tax deferral on the buildup of value of annuities and life insurance, making Prudential’s products more attractive to consumers, legislation that reduces or eliminates deferral would have a potential negative effect on its products.

The products Prudential sells have different tax characteristics, in some cases generating tax deductions. The level of profitability of certain of its products are significantly dependent on these characteristics and its ability to continue to generate taxable income, which are taken into consideration when pricing products and are a component of Prudential’s capital management strategies. Accordingly, a change in tax law, Prudential’s ability to generate taxable income, or other factors impacting the availability of the tax characteristics generated by its products, could impact product pricing and returns or require Prudential to reduce the sales of these products or implement other actions that could be disruptive to its business.

The companies offering the Contracts and the Partnership are heavily regulated and changes in regulation may reduce our profitability.

Our business is subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision. The purpose of this regulation is primarily to protect our customers. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject, are regularly re-examined, and existing or future laws and regulations may become more restrictive or otherwise adversely affect our operations. The financial market dislocations we have experienced have produced, and are expected to continue to produce, extensive changes in existing laws and regulations, and regulatory frameworks, applicable to our business.

We are subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to public reporting and disclosure, accounting and financial reporting, and corporate governance matters. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules and regulations adopted in furtherance of that Act have substantially increased our requirements in these and other areas. Changes in accounting requirements could have an impact on our reported results of operations and our reported financial position.

Insurance regulators, as well as industry participants, have begun to implement significant changes in the way in which statutory reserves and statutory capital are determined particularly for products with embedded options and guarantees, and are considering further potentially significant changes in these requirements. Regulatory capital requirements based on scenario testing have already gone into effect for variable annuity products, and new reserving requirements for these products were implemented as of the end of 2009. The timing and extent of further changes to the statutory reporting framework are uncertain.

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations is time consuming and personnel-intensive, and changes in these laws and regulations may materially increase our direct and indirect compliance and other expenses of doing business, thus having a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Adverse capital market conditions have in the past, and could in the future, significantly affect our ability to meet liquidity needs and our access to capital and our cost of capital.

Adverse capital market conditions have affected and may affect in the future the availability and cost of borrowed funds and could impact our ability to refinance existing borrowings, thereby ultimately impacting our ability to support or grow our business. We need liquidity to pay our operating expenses, interest on our debt and replace certain maturing debt obligations. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail certain of our operations, and our business could suffer. The principal sources of our liquidity are insurance premiums, annuity considerations, deposit funds and cash flow from our investment portfolio and assets, consisting mainly of cash or assets that are readily convertible into cash.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into loan agreements with certain lenders to finance its real estate investment transactions. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase related borrowing costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Partnership. There is no guarantee that the Partnership’s borrowing arrangements or ability to obtain leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Partnership. Further, these loan agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and various covenants and representations. In the normal course of business, the Partnership may be in the process of renegotiating terms for loans outstanding that have passed their maturity dates. At December 31, 2010, the Partnership had no outstanding matured loans.

A decline in market value of the Partnership’s assets may also have particular adverse consequences in instances where the Partnership borrowed money based on the fair value of specific assets. A decrease in market value of these assets may result in the lender requiring the Partnership to post additional collateral or otherwise repay these loans.

In the event the Partnership’s current investment obligations are not refinanced or extended when they become due and/or the Partnership is required to repay such borrowings and obligations, management anticipates that the repayment of these obligations, will be provided by operating cash flow, new debt refinancing, and real estate investment sales.

Market fluctuations and general economic, market and political conditions may adversely affect our business and profitability.

Even under relatively more favorable market conditions, our investment returns and our access to and cost of financing, are sensitive to fixed income, equity, real estate and other market fluctuations and general economic, market and political conditions. These fluctuations and conditions could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and liquidity, including in the following respects:

•

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, availability of credit and debt, 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.

The dramatic deterioration in the capital markets and increasing weakness in the overall economy may adversely affect all sectors of the real estate market and may lead to declines in property values. Adverse capital market conditions could impact the liquidity of our investments, affecting their value and potentially resulting in higher realized and/or unrealized losses. These events may have an adverse affect on our investment results.

•

The estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. There continues to be significant disruptions in the global capital, credit and real estate markets. These disruptions have led to, among other things, a significant decline in the volume of transaction activity, in the fair value of many real estate and real estate related investments, and a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. The decline in liquidity and prices of real estate and real estate related investments, as well as the availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may have made it more difficult to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, these estimated fair 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 financial statements.

Regardless of market conditions, certain investments we hold, including the properties in the Account, are relatively illiquid. If we needed to sell these investments, we may have difficulty in selling them for acceptable prices.

•

Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the financial markets may limit our access to capital required to operate our business. These market conditions may limit our ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing obligations and access the capital necessary to replace assets withdrawn by customers.

•

Market conditions could also impact our ability to fund foreseen and unforeseen cash and collateral requirements, potentially inhibiting our ability to perform under our counterparty obligations, support business initiatives and increasing realized losses.

A change in market conditions, including prolonged periods of high inflation, could cause a change in consumer sentiment adversely affecting persistency of our life insurance and annuity products, including those offering the Account as an investment option.

The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition, including in the following respects:

•

Catastrophic loss of life due to natural or man-made disasters could cause us to pay benefits at higher levels and/or materially earlier than anticipated and could lead to unexpected changes in persistency rates.

•

A natural or man-made disaster could result in losses in our investment portfolio or the failure of our counterparties to perform, or cause significant volatility in financial markets.

•

A terrorist attack affecting financial institutions in the United States or elsewhere could negatively impact the financial services industry in general and our business operations, investment portfolio and profitability in particular. As previously reported, in August 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified our Newark, New Jersey facilities, along with those of several other financial institutions in New York and Washington, D.C., as possible targets of a terrorist attack.

•

Pandemic disease, caused by a virus such as H5N1, the “avian flu” virus, or H1N1, the “swine flu” virus, could have a severe adverse effect on our business. The potential impact of such a pandemic on our results of operations and financial position is highly speculative, and would depend on numerous factors, including: in the case of the avian flu virus, the probability of the virus mutating to a form that can be passed easily from human to human; the effectiveness of vaccines and the rate of contagion; the regions of the world most affected; the effectiveness of treatment for the infected population; the rates of mortality and morbidity among various segments of the insured versus the uninsured population; the collectability of reinsurance; the possible macroeconomic effects of a pandemic on the Company’s asset portfolio; the effect on lapses and surrenders of existing policies, as well as sales of new policies; and many other variables.

There can be no assurance that our business continuation plans and insurance coverages would be effective in mitigating any negative effects on our operations or profitability in the event of a terrorist attack or other disaster.

Climate change, and its regulation, may affect the value of investments, including real estate investments we hold or manage for others. Our current evaluation is that the near term effects of climate change and climate change regulation on the Company are not material, but we cannot predict the long term impacts on us from climate change or its regulation.

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, 2010, approximately 21, 933 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, 2010, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $28.9 million, an increase of approximately $4.4 million from $24.5 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the sale of an apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia and cash flows generated from the Partnership’s operating activities. Partially offsetting the increase were distributions to the Partners and the funding of capital expenditures to existing properties. Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, sales proceeds, and interest from short-term investments. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 14.2% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

The Partnership did not have any acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Partnership exercised a one-year extension option on a $15.5 million loan at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland on April 1, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership made distributions to the Partners totaling $17.5 million.

Dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2010 included the sale of one asset. On September 29, 2010, the Partnership sold the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia, resulting in net proceeds of $17.0 million to the Partnership.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership spent approximately $3.4 million on capital improvements to various existing properties. Approximately $1.6 million was associated with tenant improvements, leasing expenses, and interior upgrades at the office property in Brentwood, Tennessee; approximately $0.3 million funded tenant improvements, leasing expenses, and exterior upgrades at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland; approximately $0.2 million were spent in association with clubhouse renovation and sale preparation at the property in Atlanta, Georgia; and approximately $0.3 million contributed to a roof replacement at the office property in Brentwood, Tennessee. The remaining $1.0 million was associated with minor capital improvements and leasing costs associated with leasing expenses related to other properties in the Partnership.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009.

Net investment income overview

The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $8.0 million, an increase of approximately $0.7 million from the prior year. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was due to increases of approximately $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million in the apartment, retail, and hotel sectors’ net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest, respectfully, during the year ended December 31, 2010 from the prior year. Additionally, there was an approximately $0.2 million less losses in other income. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in the office sector’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest from the prior year. The components of this net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by investment type.

Valuation overview

The Partnership recorded a net recognized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interests of approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with a net recognized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $4.3 million for the prior year. The Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $41.7 million for the prior year. The net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to valuation increases in the apartment and retail sectors’ investments of approximately $5.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a net unrealized decrease attributable to the general partners’ controlling interests of approximately $2.1 million and $0.1 million in the office and hotel sectors’ investments, respectively. The components of these valuation losses are discussed below by investment type.

The following table presents a comparison of the Partnership’s sources of net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest, and realized and unrealized gain or (loss) attributable to the general partners’ controlling interests or losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interests by investment type for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately $0.4 million from the prior year. The decrease in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily the result of (a) a $0.3 million decrease at one of the properties in Brentwood, Tennessee due to free rent given to the largest existing tenant; and (b) a $0.4 million decrease at the property in Beaverton, Oregon due to the loss of the building’s largest tenant along with free rent given to a replacement tenant. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest at the property in Lisle, Illinois due to increased average occupancy and a full year of rental payments from a new tenant.

Unrealized gain /(loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $15.6 million for the prior year. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.1 million and $0.5 million at the properties in Beaverton, Oregon and Brentwood, Tennessee, respectively. The decrease at the property in Beaverton, Oregon was primarily attributable to the loss of a full floor tenant, in addition to the lease expiration of another full floor tenant in 2012, causing investment rates to increase. The decrease at the property in Brentwood, Tennessee was due to the upcoming lease expiration of the building’s only tenant. These decreases were partially offset by net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of $0.3 million and $0.1 million at the properties in Lisle, Illinois and Brentwood, Tennessee due to improved tenant mixes.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.4 million from the prior year. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to expense saving measures and favorable interest rates. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to expense saving measures and favorable interest rates resulting in lower interest expenses on the variable rate loan at the property in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Recognized & Unrealized gain/(loss)

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net recognized and unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with a net recognized and unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $9.7 million for the prior year. The net recognized and unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to (a) decreased investment rates and more aggressive market leasing assumptions across the apartment sector that caused each property to increase in value; and (b) a recognized gain upon the sale of the property in Atlanta, Georgia on September 29, 2010.

(3)	A portion of the Dunn, North Carolina retail property was sold on November 12, 2009, which is reflected as a recognized gain/(loss).

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.3 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a one-time occurrence related to bad debt expense at the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina that reduced its net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest during the prior year. Partially offsetting this increase was the loss of operating income from the Roswell, Georgia retail property sold on May 1, 2009.

Unrealized gain /(loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with a net recognized and unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $17.0 million for the prior year. The net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to (a) an increased valuation of the Capital Automotive Real Estate Services, or “CARS”, preferred equity investment based on a reduction in the expected remaining term of the investment, resulting in an increased present value of principal repayment, as well as decreased risk and applied market investment rate; and (b) decreased investment rates and more aggressive market leasing assumptions at the properties in Ocean City, Maryland and Westminster, Maryland based on improving property fundamentals and national consumption, which caused each property to increase in value. This gain was partially offset by the unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest at the property in Hampton, Virginia due to tenant weakness reflected by declining sales and inferior credit at the center and conservative market leasing assumptions including decreased projected market rents, lower renewal probability, and slower space absorption generating a valuation decline.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, reflecting an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year due to improved cost savings in operations and increased average daily room rate as a result of the strengthening hospitality market driven by increased business and vacation travel.

Unrealized gain /(loss)

The hotel property owned by the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared with an unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.7 million for the prior year. The unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects a valuation decline due to increased projected stabilization period and decreased stabilized market occupancy assumptions.

Other

Other net investment loss decreased approximately $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010 from the prior year. Other net investment loss includes investment management fees and portfolio level expenses offset by interest income from short-term investments.

(c) Inflation

A majority of the Partnership’s leases with 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 unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership may change significantly.

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

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

See Note 2C to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Valuation of Investments

Real Estate Investments - Real estate investments are carried at fair value. 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.

In general, fair 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, which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., is responsible for assuring that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party 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. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. Key inputs and assumptions include rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to determine the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; real estate investments are classified as Level 3 (see Note 4 for detail) under the FASB authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships and preferred equity investments are carried at fair value and are generally 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 partnership.

As described above, the estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is generally 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. These variances could be material to the 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, 2010 and 2009.

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 general partner’s controlling interest exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 36.02% of its investment portfolio as of December 31, 2010, which consists primarily of short-term commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. As a matter of 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, 2010:


	Maturity	Estimated Market Value (millions)		Average Interest Rate
Cash and Cash equivalents	0-3 months		$ 28.9		1.42%

The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of December 31, 2010. The fair value of the Partnership’s long-term debt 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 debt.


Investment level debt (in $ thousands), including current portion	2011			2012		2013		2014		2015		Thereafter		Total			Estimated Fair Value

Total Investment Level Debt		$15,979			$646		$9,691		$740		$791		$2,719		$30,566			$30,621

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, tenant 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 Pruco Life is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2010, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework Issued 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, 2010.

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. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 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

Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account

and the Board of Directors of

Pruco Life Insurance Company

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 Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account at December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Pruco Life Insurance Company. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

December 31, 2010

Note 1: General

Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Account”) was established on August 27, 1986 and commenced business September 5, 1986. Pursuant to Arizona law, the Account was established as a separate investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life” or the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”) and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The assets of the Account are segregated from Pruco Life’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Pruco Life. These products are Appreciable Life (“VAL”), Variable Life (“VLI”), Discovery Plus (“SPVA”), and Discovery Life Plus (“SPVL”).

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 annuity contracts. The Account, along with The Prudential 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, non controlling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Account adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations.

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance will change the accounting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified by the parent company as a component of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Upon adoption, the guidance requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests and prospective adoption for all other requirements. The adoption of this guidance has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification generally does not change the existing rules of U.S. GAAP but rather makes it easier to find and research U.S. GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics and aggregates them in four common accounting areas. Topics within each category are further broken down into subtopics, sections and paragraphs. Accounting standards that are included in the Codification will be considered authoritative whereas those that are not included will be deemed non-authoritative. As a result, there are two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and has impacted the way the Account references U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This guidance includes techniques for measuring fair value when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available and clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of its fair value. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

F-5

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

December 31, 2010

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements (continued)

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires new fair value disclosures for significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 measurement categories and separate presentation of purchases, issuances, and settlements within the roll forward of Level 3 activity. Also, this updated fair value guidance clarifies the disclosure requirements about level of disaggregation and valuation techniques and inputs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of Level 3 activity, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Account adopted effective portions of this guidance on January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are provided in Note 10.

B. Investment in Partnership Interest

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Account’s interest in the Partnership was 54.7% or 3,178,326 shares and 55.0% or 3,552,566 shares, respectively. 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 for the Partnership. Amounts are based upon the Account’s proportionate interest in the Partnership.

D. Equity of Pruco Life Insurance Company

Pruco Life maintains a position in the Account for property liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not have an effect on the contract owners’ accounts or the related unit values.

Note 3: Taxes

Pruco Life 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 8: Financial Highlights

Pruco Life 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 Pruco Life 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 products as discussed in Note 1. The table reflects contract owner units only.


	Units (000’s)		Unit Value Lowest- Highest		Net Assets (000’s)		Income Ratio*			Expense Ratio ** Lowest-Highest	Total Return *** Lowest-Highest
December 31, 2010		25,702	$	2.10140 to 2.60866	$	63,083		4.79	%	0.35% to 1.25%	8.31% to 9.29%
December 31, 2009		26,646	$	1.94013 to 2.38693	$	59,966		3.98	%	0.35% to 1.25%	-19.26% to -18.54%

The table above reflects information for units held by contract owners. Pruco Life also maintains a position in the Real Property Account, to provide for property acquisitions and capital expenditure funding needs. Pruco Life held 11,260,223, 14,463,696, 14,533,069, 13,521,139 and 12,226,968 units representing $27,112,090, $31,957,972, $39,468,030, $42,690,230 and $35,985,213 of net assets as of December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively. Charges for mortality risk, expense risk and administrative expenses are used by Pruco Life 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 0.6%, 0.35%, 0.9% and 0.9% for VAL, VLI, SPVA and SPVL, 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 Pruco Life. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.

B. Administrative Charges

Administrative charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 0.35% applied daily against the net assets representing equity of contract owners held in each subaccount for SPVA and SPVL. Administrative charges include costs associated with issuing the contract, establishing and maintaining records, and providing reports to contract owners. The administrative charge is assessed through reduction in unit values.

C. Cost of Insurance and Other Related Charges

Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being invested in the Real Property Account. The deductions for VAL and VLI are (1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges, not to exceed 5% for VAL and 9% for VLI, which are deducted in order to compensate Pruco Life for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs, applicable to VAL, 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 Pruco Life 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.

D. Deferred Sales Charge

A deferred sales charge is imposed upon the surrender of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco Life 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 but will not exceed 45% of one scheduled annual premium for VAL contracts and 9% of the initial premium payment for SPVL. No sales charge will be imposed after the sixth and tenth year of the contract for SPVL and VAL, respectively. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units. Also a deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawals of certain purchase payments to compensate Pruco Life for sales and other marketing expenses for SPVL. 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. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units. For SPVA, there is a deferred sales charge that applies at the time of a full or partial withdrawal, and the amount of the charge (which declines over time) depends on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued.

E. Partial Withdrawal Charge

A charge is imposed by Pruco Life on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for VAL. 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.

Note 9: Related Party

Prudential and its affiliates perform various services on behalf of the Partnership in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various other record keeping and customer service functions.

Note 10: Fair Value Disclosure

FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value which approximates the Partnership’s net asset value. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value from property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the one most heavily relied upon is the one then recognized as the most appropriate by the independent appraiser for the type of real estate in the market.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; the underlying investments in the Partnership are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Table 1 below summarizes the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their respective position in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

For Years Ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008

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 general partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life and Pruco Life of New Jersey (collectively the “General Partners”). The General Partners may make additional daily cash contributions to or withdrawals from the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

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 per share net asset 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 fair value of its assets, principally as described in Notes 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D below, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D 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 per share net asset value of the Partnership's net assets. Per share net asset value is calculated by dividing the 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 General Partners pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement as described in Note 10.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Partnership included herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-K and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that are applicable to real estate investment companies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through March 4, 2011, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

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.

Note 2:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted- In December 2007, FASB revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, noncontrolling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance requires noncontrolling interests to be reported as a separate component of equity. It also changes the allocation of losses and accounting in step acquisitions. The provisions in this revision should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are required retrospectively for all periods presented. After the initial adoption, any retained noncontrolling equity investment as a result of a deconsolidation must be measured at fair value at the date of the deconsolidation. This guidance is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Pursuant to the Partnership’s adoption on January 1, 2009 of the revised guidance, the Partnership is presenting its noncontrolling interests as equity for all periods presented in the financial statements. Noncontrolling interests, previously reported as a liability, are now required to be reported as a separate component of equity on the balance sheet. In addition, net investment income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest, which was previously reported as an expense and reflected within Net Investment Income is now reported as a separate amount below “Increase (decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations”, and totaled ($0.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events. Subsequent events are events that occur after balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance addresses the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events not addressed in other applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective with the interim period ending June 30, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated is provided in Note 2A.

In July 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification generally does not change the existing rules of U.S. GAAP but rather makes it easier to find and research U.S. GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics and aggregates them in four common accounting areas. Topics within each category are further broken down into subtopics, sections and paragraphs. Accounting standards that are included in the Codification will be considered authoritative whereas those that are not included will be deemed non-authoritative. As a result, there are two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the way the Partnership references U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires new fair value disclosures for significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 measurement categories and separate presentation of purchases, issuances, and settlements within the roll forward of Level 3 activity. Also, this updated fair value guidance clarifies the disclosure requirements about level of disaggregation and valuation techniques and inputs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of Level 3 activity, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Partnership adopted effective portions of this guidance on January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are provided in Note 4.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

For Years Ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In general fair 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, which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of PFI, is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction costs including those which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. Key inputs and assumptions include rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to come up with the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships and preferred equity investment are carried at fair value and are generally 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 partnership.

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 fair value

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other Assets - Restricted cash of $94,030 and $115,711 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 $134,422 and $1,083,235 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Investment Level Debt - Investment level debt includes mortgage loans payable on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships and 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.

Revenue and Expense Recognition - Revenue from real estate is recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. Operating expenses are recognized as incurred. 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 investments are stated at estimated fair value, net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense. Interest expenses are accrued periodically based on the contractual interest rate and terms of the loans, which approximates the effective interest method. Interest expenses are included in Net Investment Income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Equity in Income of Real Estate Partnerships - Equity in income of real estate partnerships 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 real estate investments, partnerships’ net income are 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. Any cash in excess of the amount of income generated from the underlying joint venture is treated as a return of the Partnership’s equity investment.

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 General Partners in the Partnership. The Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

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, 2010, 2009, and 2008, was $944,623, $1,618,673, and $1,878,870, respectively.

Note 4: Fair Value Measurements

FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. This guidance provides a three-level hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation process. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows;

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the entity for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

For items classified as Level 3, a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, as shown in table 2 below, is also required.

During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Please refer to Note 2D for discussion of valuation methodology.

Note 7: Concentration of Risk on Real Estate Investments

The Partnership mitigates this risk by diversifying its investments in various regions and different types of real estate investments. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the Partnership’s diversification on the types of real estate investments.

At December 31, 2010, the Partnership had real estate investments located throughout the United States. The diversification of the Partnership’s holdings based on the estimated fair values and established NCREIF regions is as follows:

Southeast		21,982		12.82%
Southwest		26,419		15.41%
West North Central		34		0.02%

Total	$	171,491		100.00%

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, 2010, the cost basis of the General Partner’s equity was $44.2 million. Prudential terminated this commitment on December 31, 2002.

In the opinion of Partnership’s management, the outcome of such matters will not have a significant effect on the financial position of the Partnership.
