        continue and expand the commercial real estate business of The Beacon
        Group ( the "Predecessor" ).

        The Operating Partnership specializes in property ownership, management,
        leasing, design and development and, as of May 13, 1997, owned or had an
        interest in 103 properties totaling approximately 16.3 million square
        feet (the "Properties").

        Basis of Presentation

        The financial statements of the Operating Partnership are consolidated
        and include all the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its
        subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
        have been eliminated.

        The accompanying financial statements are unaudited; however, they have
        been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with the
        rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
        Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by
        generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
        statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
        solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of
        the financial statements for these interim periods have been included.
        The results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal
        year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
        December 31, 1996 audited financial statements and notes thereto of the
        Operating Partnership, included in its Form 10 ( as amended by Form
        10/A-1, Form 10/A-2 and Form 10/A-3 ) for the fiscal year ended December
        31, 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously
        reported amounts to conform with current reporting.

3.      Commitments and Contingencies:

        In March 1997, the Operating Partnership entered into a contract to
        acquire an office complex located in Westchester ( suburban Chicago ),
        Illinois ( the "Westbrook Corporate Center" ). The purchase price of the
        property is approximately $182.1 million, consisting of the assumption
        of $106 million of mortgage debt, the issuance of approximately $50
        million of Units and approximately $26.1 million in cash.

4.      Pro Forma Results ( unaudited ):

        The following unaudited pro forma operating results for the Operating
        Partnership have been prepared as if the 1996 Unit issuances and the
        1996 property acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1996. Unaudited
        pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes
        only and may not be indicative of what the actual results of operations
        of the Operating Partnership would have been had the events occurred as
        of January 1, 1996, nor does it purport to represent the results of
        operations for future periods.

5.      Subsequent Events:

        On April 9, 1997, the Operating Partnership converted its $300 million
        secured floating-rate credit facility ( the "Credit Facility" ) to an
        unsecured facility and decreased the interest rate on the Credit
        Facility from the Eurodollar rate plus 175 basis points ( 1.75% ) to the
        Eurodollar rate plus 120 basis points ( 1.20% ). Additionally, on April
        30, 1997, the maximum loan amount available under the Credit Facility
        was increased to $350 million.

        On April 10, 1997, the Company sold 7,000,000 shares of common stock,
        $.01 par value, to the public at $32.125 per share ( the "April 1997
        Offering" ) and contributed the net proceeds of approximately $211.4
        million to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a like number of
        Units. The net proceeds of the April 1997 Offering were used to purchase
        10880 Wilshire Boulevard located in Westwood, California and two office
        properties located in Fairfax County, Virginia ("Centerpointe I and II")
        with the remaining balance used to pay down the Credit Facility.

        On April 23, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired 10880 Wilshire
        Boulevard located in Westwood, California for aggregate consideration of
        approximately $99 million.

        On April 24, 1997, the Operating Partnership declared a quarterly
        distribution of $28.5 million payable on May 23, 1997 to partners of
        record on May 9, 1997.

        On April 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired Centerpointe I and
        II, located in Fairfax County, Virginia for aggregate consideration of
        approximately $55 million consisting of approximately $25 million in
        cash and assumption of $30 million of mortgage debt.

        On May 8, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold the Westlakes Office Park
        property, its sole property located in Berwyn ( suburban Philadelphia ),
        Pennsylvania for approximately $72.5 million. The transaction will be
        treated as a like-kind exchange in which the sale proceeds, which are
        currently held in escrow, will be used to purchase a future acquisition
        property.

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

This Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate" and
other expressions which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends
and which do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking
statements. The Operating Partnership's actual results could differ materially
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that
might cause such a difference include the following: Real estate investment
considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in the
market area on cash flows and values; the need to renew leases or relet space
upon the expiration of current leases, and the ability of a property to generate
revenues sufficient to meet debt service payments and other operating expenses;
and risks associated with borrowing, such as the possibility that the Operating
Partnership will not have sufficient funds available to make principal payments
on outstanding debt, outstanding debt may be refinanced at higher interest rates
or otherwise on terms less favorable to the Operating Partnership and interest
rates under the Credit Facility may increase.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996

The Operating Partnership's gross revenues increased by 128% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996. The
growth in gross revenues was primarily the result of the acquisition of 78
Properties (the "Acquisition Properties" ) comprising 9.1 million square feet
during 1996. The Operating Partnership's proportionate share of weighted average
square feet of office properties increased by 112% to 14.0 million square feet
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 6.6 million square feet
for the corresponding period in 1996.

The Acquisition Properties increased revenues from rental operations, which
includes rental income, recoveries from tenants and other income, by $41.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding
period in 1996. The remaining balance of the increase was primarily due to
increases in occupancy and rental rates and completion of the redevelopment and
achievement of 88% occupancy at the Crosby Corporate Center in 1996.

The impact of the straight-line rent adjustment increased consolidated revenues
for the Operating Partnership by $3.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and $1.1 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The impact of
the straight-line rent adjustment decreased the Operating Partnership's equity
in net income of property joint ventures and corporations by $0.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and increased the Operating Partnership's
equity in net income of property joint ventures and corporations by $0.1 million
for the corresponding period in 1996.

Mortgage interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $1.4
million and $1.0 million for corresponding period in 1996. The increase of $0.4
million was the result of the Operating Partnership's acquisition of the
remaining portions of the outstanding first mortgage indebtedness on the Rowes
Wharf Property in April and June 1996.

The Acquisition Properties increased property expenses, real estate taxes and
depreciation and amortization by $19.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996. The remaining balance of
the increase was primarily due to additional operating expenses as a result of
an increase in occupancy and the completion of the redevelopment and achievement
of 88% occupancy at the Crosby Corporate Center in 1996.

                                 PART I - ITEM 2

                                     -------

General and administrative expenses were $8.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and $3.5 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The
Acquisition Properties increased general and administrative expenses by $1.5
million. The remaining balance of the increase was primarily due to an increase
in corporate management and administrative costs. In 1996, the Operating
Partnership established its first regional offices in the Southeast and
Mid-Atlantic and in the first quarter of 1997 regional offices in the Midwest
and West had begun to be established. As a result, payroll expense increased by
$1.8 million along with an increase in other employee related expenses. General
and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 11.2% in 1997
and 10.65% in 1996.

Net operating income ( excluding the effect of straight-line rents ) for
properties owned for at least a full year ( all properties except the
Acquisition Properties ) increased 4.9% for the three months ended March 31,
1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996.

Mortgage interest expense was $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and $6.3 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The increase of $4.7
million was primarily the result of debt incurred or assumed in connection with
the acquisition in 1996 of the Perimeter Center Portfolio and the Fairfax County
Portfolio and an increase in the weighted average outstanding balance of the
Credit Facility of $153.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to $71.3 million for corresponding period in 1996.

Interest-amortization of financing costs was $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and $0.6 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The
decrease of $0.1 million was primarily the result of the reduction in
amortization of financing costs of the Credit Facility as a result of the
write-off of fees and costs of the Credit Facility which was substantially
modified in June 1996.

Loss from discontinued operations from the Construction Company was $0.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $0.4 million for the corresponding
period in 1996. In December 1996, substantially all of the assets of the
Construction Company were sold to Skanska AB, a Swedish construction firm. The
Construction Company's new business plan involves the completion of certain
contracts not transferred to the purchaser and the liquidation of its remaining
assets.

An extraordinary item of $2.0 million loss for the three months ended March 31,
1996 was recorded in connection with the write-off of fees and costs to acquire
a $260 million mortgage loan provided by Paine Webber Real Estate Securities,
Inc. used to acquire the Perimeter Center Portfolio ( the "Paine Webber
Acquisition Loan" ). The Paine Webber Acquisition Loan was repaid in March 1996
approximately three years prior to its maturity.

                                     -------

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $13.4 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $35.9
million at December 31, 1996. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was
primarily the result of an increase in deposits on pending property acquisitions
of $17.4 million.

Investing Activities

At March 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership had approximately $17.4 million of
deposits outstanding in connection with the acquisition of Westbrook Corporate
Center, Centerpointe I and II, two office complexes located in Rosemont,
Illinois and 175 Wyman Street, located in Waltham (suburban Boston),
Massachusetts.

On April 23, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired 10880 Wilshire Boulevard
located in Westwood, California for aggregate consideration of approximately $99
million. The Operating Partnership used proceeds contributed by the Company from
the April 1997 Offering to purchase the portfolio.

On April 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired Centerpointe I and II,
located in Fairfax County, Virginia, for aggregate consideration of
approximately $55 million consisting of approximately $25 million in cash and
assumption of $30 million of mortgage debt. The Operating Partnership used
proceeds contributed by the Company from the April 1997 Offering for the cash
portion of the acquisition .

On May 8, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold the Westlakes Office Park
property, its sole property located in Berwyn (suburban Philadelphia),
Pennsylvania for approximately $72.5 million. The transaction will be treated as
a like-kind exchange in which the sale proceeds, which are currently held in
escrow, will be used to purchase a future acquisition property.

Financing Activities

On April 10, 1997, the Company sold 7,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par
value, to the public at $32.125 per share and contributed the net proceeds of
approximately $211.4 million to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a like
number of Units. The net proceeds of the April 1997 Offering were used to
purchase 10880 Wilshire Boulevard and Centerpointe I and II properties with the
remaining balance used to pay down the Credit Facility.

On April 24, 1997, the Operating Partnership declared a quarterly distribution
of $28.5 million payable on May 23, 1997 to partners of record on May 9, 1997.

Capitalization

At March 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership's total consolidated debt was
approximately $604.9 million, and its total consolidated debt plus its
proportionate share of total unconsolidated debt ( other than the Rowes Wharf
property debt ) was approximately $697.0 million at March 31, 1997. At March 31,
1997, the Operating Partnership's outstanding consolidated debt consisted of
approximately $153.0 million under its floating-rate Credit Facility and
approximately $451.9 million of fixed rate mortgage indebtedness with an
weighted average rate of 7.22%, collateralized by properties owned 100% by the
Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's proportionate share of its
current total unconsolidated debt ( excluding the Rowes Wharf property debt )
consists of approximately $46.4 million on the One Post Office Square Property (
in which the Operating Partnership has a 50% general partner interest ) and
approximately $45.7 million on the 75-101 Federal Street property ( in which the
Operating Partnership owns approximately 51% of the common stock of a private
REIT that owns the property ).The weighted average rate of the Operating
Partnership's unconsolidated fixed rate mortgage indebtedness is 7.47%. The
weighted average rate of the Operating Partnership's consolidated and
unconsolidated fixed rate mortgage indebtedness is 7.27% and the weighted
average maturity is approximately 6.7 years.

                                     -------

Based on the Operating Partnership's total market capitalization of $2,502.6
million at March 31, 1997 ( equating the value at one Unit to one Share of
Common Stock at the March 31, 1997 closing stock price of $33.125 ), the
Operating Partnership's consolidated debt plus its proportionate share of total
unconsolidated debt ( other than the Rowes Wharf property debt ) represented
approximately 28% of its total market capitalization.

Funds from Operations

The Operating Partnership believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of
the operating results of the Operating Partnership, Funds from Operations
("FFO") should be examined in conjunction with net income. The definition of FFO
was clarified in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc.
("NAREIT") White Paper, adopted by the NAREIT Board of Governors on March 3,
1995, as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
property, plus depreciation and amortization (in each case only real estate
related assets), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO should not be considered as a
substitute for net income as an indication of the Operating Partnership's

Short and Long Term Liquidity

The Operating Partnership has considered its short-term ( up to 12 months )
liquidity needs and the adequacy of expected liquidity sources to meet these
needs. The Operating Partnership believes that its principal short-term
liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements
and the minimum distribution required to maintain the Company's REIT
qualifications under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The
Operating Partnership believes that these needs will be fully funded from cash
flows provided by operating activities.

The Operating Partnership expects to meet long-term ( greater than 12 months )
liquidity requirements for the costs of development, property acquisitions,
scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring
capital improvements through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and
the issuance of additional Operating Partnership Units and equity securities.
The Operating Partnership may finance the redevelopment or acquisition of
additional properties by using its Credit Facility.
