TIAA Real Estate Account 

The TIAA Real Estate Account offers individual investors a unique variable annuity investment, providing direct access to a broad portfolio of commercial properties. This diversified exposure includes industrial facilities, multifamily residences, office buildings, retail spaces, and other specialized real estate categories. A key feature is its daily liquidity, alongside the valuable option for investors to convert their accumulated holdings into a guaranteed stream of lifetime income. Critically, its returns are derived from the rental income generated by these properties and their underlying appreciation in value, distinctly separate from the stock market performance of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
