        Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                

      The  following discussion and analysis of First  Industrial
Securities, L.P.'s (the "Company")  financial condition  and  the
Company's  and the Predecessor Businesses' results of  operations
should  be read in conjunction with the financial statements  and
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
  JUNE 30, 1995

      At  June  30,  1996, the Company owned 19  properties  with
approximately 2.1 million square feet, compared to 18  properties
with   approximately  2.0  million  square  feet  owned  by   the
Predecessor Businesses at June 30, 1995. The remaining  build-to-
suit property containing approximately .1 million square feet was
completed in July 1995.

      Total  revenues  increased by $1.6  million,  or  39%,  due
primarily to the properties acquired or developed after  December
31, 1994.

      Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs
and  maintenance, property management, utilities,  insurance  and
other  expenses, increased by $.4 million, or 33%, due  primarily
to the properties acquired or developed after December 31, 1994.

      Interest expense decreased from $1.2 million to $0  because
the  Company  has  had  no  outstanding  indebtedness  since  the
contribution of the properties to the Company in late 1995.

      Depreciation  and  amortization expense  increased  by  $.2
million   due  primarily  to  the  additional  depreciation   and
amortization  related  to the properties  acquired  or  developed
after December 31, 1994.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
  JUNE 30, 1995

      Total  revenues  increased by  $.8  million,  or  37%,  due
primarily to the properties acquired or developed after March 31,
1995.

      Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs
and  maintenance, property management, utilities,  insurance  and
other  expenses, increased by $.2 million, or 30%, due  primarily
to the properties acquired or developed after March 31, 1995.

      Interest  expense decreased from $.7 million to $0  because
the  Company  has  had  no  outstanding  indebtedness  since  the
contribution of the properties to the Company in late 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Upon  and subsequent to the consummation of FI's  Series  A
Preferred  Stock Offering and the Company's guarantee of  certain
amounts  in  respect  thereof, the  Company  had  no  outstanding
indebtedness.

     Net cash provided by operating activities, used in investing
activities  and used in financing activities for the Company  for
the  six  months  ended June 30, 1996 were  $4.1  million,  ($.7)
million,  and  ($2.7) million, respectively.  Net  cash  used  in
investing  activities during the six months ended June  30,  1996
was  used  principally for capital improvements of the  Company's
properties.  Net cash used in financing activities during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 consisted of preferred limited partner
distributions  of  $2 million and a general and  limited  partner
distribution  of  $.7  million.  Net cash provided  by  operating
activities,   used  in  investing  activities  and  provided   by
financing activities for the Predecessor Businesses for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1995 were $1.8 million, ($22.1) million and
$20.2   million,  respectively.   Net  cash  used  in   investing
activities  during the six months ended June 30,  1995  was  used
principally in connection with the acquisition and development of
additional properties.  Net cash provided by financing activities
during   the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1995  was   provided
principally  by  borrowings  under an  acquisition  facility  and
capital contributions.

       The   Company  has  considered  its  short-term  liquidity
requirements  and the adequacy of its estimated cash  flows  from
operations.  The Company believes that its liquidity needs are to
fund  normal  recurring expenses, and pay the  preferred  limited
partnership  distribution  and other  partnership  distributions.
The  Company anticipates that these needs will be met  with  cash
flows provided by operating activities.

       The  Company  expects  to  fund  its  long-term  liquidity
requirements for non-recurring capital improvements with its cash
flows  from  operations and in part with a  deferred  maintenance
escrow  established  in  connection with the  issuance  of  First
Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s Series A Preferred Stock.
