                ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On June 30, 1997, First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),
acquired 12 light industrial properties, two bulk warehouses and one office
building (the "Punia Phase I Properties") in New Jersey, totaling 697,778
square feet of gross leasable area (the "Punia Phase I Acquisition").  The
Punia Phase I Properties were acquired for approximately $39.2 million which
was funded with $36.0 million in cash and the issuance of 107,516 limited
partnership units in the Operating Partnership (the "Units") valued at $3.2
million.  The $36 million in cash was funded with borrowings under the
Operating Partnership's $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the
"1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility") with a group of banks for which the
First National Bank of Chicago and the Union Bank of Switzerland act as agents.
The $36.0 million borrowed under the Operating Partnership's 1996 Unsecured
Acquisition Facility currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 1%.  The Punia
Phase I Properties were acquired from Ethel Road Associates, Gamma Three
Associates, Jayeff Associates, RCP Associates, 244 Sheffield Associates, South
Broad Company, Suburban Roseland Associates, World's Fair 25 Associates, 
World's Fair Associates, World's Fair Office Associates, and World's Fair V
Associates (together, the "Punia Group").  Prior to the Punia Phase I
Acquisition, the Punia Group was not affiliated with the Operating Partnership,
any affiliate of the Operating Partnership or any officer of the Operating 
Partnership.  Following the Punia Phase I Acquisition, Jeff Punia and
Hayden Tiger were appointed Regional Directors.  The Punia Phase I Properties
will continue to be used for light industrial, bulk warehouse and office use
under the existing lease terms.
        
     In connection with the Punia Phase I Acquisition, the Operating
Partnership completed negotiations with the Punia Group to acquire an
additional 33 properties totaling 1,055,344 square feet of gross leasable area
(the "Punia Phase II Properties") and additional parcels of land for
approximately $65.9 million (the "Punia Phase II Acquisition").  The Punia
Phase II Acquisition will be funded with cash and Units and is scheduled to
close by September 30, 1997.  The Punia Phase II Properties will be used for
light industrial, bulk warehouse and office use under the existing lease terms.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Partners of First Industrial, L.P.


     We have audited the accompanying combined historical statement of revenues
and certain expenses of the  Punia Acquisition Properties as described in Note
1 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  This financial statement is the
responsibility of the Punia Acquisition Properties' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on
our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     The accompanying combined historical statement of revenues and certain
expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K/A No.1 dated June 30, 1997 of First Industrial, L.P. and is not intended to
be a complete presentation of the Punia Acquisition Properties' revenues and
expenses.
        
     In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the Punia
Acquisition Properties for the year ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

     The Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses (the
"Statements") combined the results of operations of 15 properties (the "Punia
Phase I Properties") acquired by First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership") as of June 30, 1997 and 33 properties (the "Punia Phase II
Properties") contracted to be acquired by the Operating Partnership by
September 30, 1997 (together, the "Punia Acquisition Properties").

     The Punia Phase I Properties were acquired for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $39.2 million and the Punia Phase II Properties have an
estimated final aggregate purchase price of approximately $51.9 million, when
combined aggregate a total purchase price of approximately $91.1 million.

     No.1 filing date.

     September 30, 1997.


     The unaudited Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain
Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 reflects, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
statement.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

     The Statements exclude certain expenses such as interest, depreciation and
amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the Punia Acquisition Properties that may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in their proposed future
operations.  Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these
properties which would cause the reported financial information not to be
necessarily indicative of future operating results.

     In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the  Statements, is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.


Revenue and Expense Recognition

     The Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

     Rental income is recorded when due from tenants.  The effects of scheduled
rent increases and rental concessions, if any, are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the tenant's lease.

3.   FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES

     The Punia Acquisition Properties are leased to tenants under net and
semi-net operating leases.  Minimum lease payments receivable, excluding tenant
reimbursement of expenses, under noncancelable operating leases in effect as of

leasable area at December 31, 1996.

                            FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
                   NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

      First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") was organized as a
limited partnership in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993.  The sole
general partner is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") with an
approximate 88.0% ownership interest at June 30, 1997.

      The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the
Operating Partnership reflects the historical operations of the Operating
Partnership for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997, the
acquisition of one property on January 31, 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition
Property") and 39 properties acquired on January 31, 1997 (the "Lazarus Burman
Properties") which are reported on Amendment No. 3 to Form S-3 dated April 30,
1997, and 11 properties acquired during the period February 1, 1997 through
July 14, 1997 (the "Other 1997 Acquisition Properties"), 15 properties (the
"Punia Phase I Properties") acquired on June 30, 1997 and the additional 33
properties (the "Punia Phase II Properties") to be acquired by September 30,
1997 (together, the "Punia Acquisition Properties") reported in this Form 8-K/A
No.1.

      The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statement has been prepared
based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical June 30, 1997
financial statements of the Operating Partnership.  The pro forma statement of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 has been prepared as if the
properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1996 had been acquired on either
January 1, 1997 or the lease commencement date if the property was developed
and as if the 8  3/4% Series B Preferred Units issued on May 14, 1997 (the
"Series B Preferred Capital Contribution") and the 8 5/8% Series C Preferred
Units issued on June 6, 1997 (the "Series C Preferred Capital Contribution")
had been completed on January 1, 1996.

      The unaudited pro forma financial statement is not necessarily indicative
of what the Operating Partnership's results of operations would have been for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 had the properties been acquired as
described above, nor do they purport to present the future results of
operations of the Operating Partnership.


2.    PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS - JUNE 30, 1997

      acquisition date of this property on January 9, 1997.

(e)  The historical operations reflect the operations of the Punia
     Acquisition Properties for the period January 1, 1997 through June 30,
     1997.

(f)  In connection with the Lazarus Burman Properties acquisition, the
     Operating Partnership assumed two mortgage loans totaling $4.5 million
     (the "Lazarus Burman Mortgage Loans").  The interest expense adjustment
     reflects interest on the Lazarus Burman Mortgage Loans as if such
     indebtedness was outstanding beginning January 1, 1996.

     The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition
     facility borrowings (at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
     plus 1%) for the assumed earlier purchase of the 1997 Acquisition
     Property, the Lazarus Burman Properties, the Other 1997 Acquisition
     Properties and the Punia Acquisition Properties offset by the interest
     savings related to the assumed repayment of $144.0 million of acquisition
     facility borrowings on January 1, 1996 from the proceeds of the Series B
     Preferred Capital Contribution and Series C Preferred Capital
     Contribution.

     The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charges for the
     1997 Acquisition Property, the Lazarus Burman Properties, the Other 1997
     Acquisition Properties and the Punia Acquisition Properties from January
     1, 1997 through the earlier of their respective acquisition date or June
     30, 1997.

     The equity in income of other real estate partnerships adjustment reflects
     the Operating Partnership's 99% limited partnership equity interest in an
     acquisition made by First Industrial Pennsylvania Partnership, L.P.

                   NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

     First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") was organized as a
limited partnership in the state of Delaware on November 23, 1993.  The sole
general partner is First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") with an
approximate 92.4% ownership interest at December 31, 1996.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the
Operating Partnership reflects the historical operations of the Operating
Partnership for the period January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996 and the
acquisition of 27 properties (the "First Highland Properties") and 18
properties (the "Other Acquisition Properties") acquired by the Operating
Partnership between January 1, 1996 and April 10, 1996, the acquisition of 14
properties (the "Acquisition Properties") and 43 (the "1996 Acquisition
Properties") between April 11, 1996 and December 31, 1996, one property
acquired on January 9, 1997 (the "1997 Acquisition Property"), and 39
properties acquired on January 31, 1997 (the "Lazarus Burman Properties") which
are reported on Amendment No. 3 to Form S-3 dated April 30, 1997, and the
acquisition of 11 properties acquired during the period February 1, 1997
through July 14, 1997 (the "Other 1997 Acquisition Properties"), 15 properties
(the "Punia Phase I Properties") acquired on June 30, 1997 and the additional
33 properties (the "Punia Phase II Properties") to be acquired by September 30,
1997 (together, the "Punia Acquisition Properties") reported on this Form 8-K/A
No.1.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statement has been prepared
based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical December 31, 1996
financial statements of the Operating Partnership.  The pro forma statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 has been prepared as if the
properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1995 had been acquired on either
January 1, 1996 or the lease commencement date if the property was developed
and as if the 5,175,000 Operating Partnership Units (the "Units") issued on
February 2, 1996 (the "February 1996 Capital Contribution"), the 5,750,000
Units issued on October 25, 1996 (the "October 1996 Capital Contribution"), the
8  3/4% Series B Preferred Units issued on May 14, 1997 (the "Series B
Preferred Capital Contribution") and the 8 5/8% Series C Preferred Units issued
on June 6, 1997 (the "Series C Preferred Capital Contribution") had been
completed on January 1, 1996.

     The unaudited pro forma financial statement is not necessarily indicative
of what the Operating Partnership's results of operations would have been for
the year ended December 31, 1996 had the properties been acquired as described
above, nor do they purport to present the future results of operations of the
Operating Partnership.

2.   PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS - DECEMBER 31, 1996

 (a) The historical operations reflect income from continuing operations of
     the Operating Partnership for the period January 1, 1996 through December
     31, 1996 as reported on the Operating Partnership's Amendment No. 3 to
     Form S-3 dated April 30, 1997.

 (b) The historical operations reflect the operations of  the First Highland
     Properties for the period January 1, 1996 through the acquisition date of
     these properties on March 20, 1996.

 (c) The historical operations reflect the operations of the Other
     Acquisition Properties for the period January 1, 1996 through their
     respective acquisition dates.

     Properties for the period January 1, 1996 through their respective

                   NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      

 (f) The historical operations reflect the operations of the 1997
     Acquisition Property for the period January 1, 1996 through December 31,
     1996.

 (g) The historical operations reflect the operations of the Lazarus
     Burman Properties for the period January 1, 1996 through December 31,
     1996.

     Acquisition Properties for the period January 1, 1996 through December
     31, 1996.

 (j) In connection with the First Highland Properties acquisition, the
     Operating Partnership assumed two mortgage loans totaling $9.4 million
     (the "Assumed Indebtedness") and also entered into a new mortgage loan in
     the amount of $36.8 million ( the "New Indebtedness").  The interest
     expense adjustment reflects interest on the Assumed Indebtedness and the
     New Indebtedness as if such indebtedness was outstanding beginning
     January 1, 1996.

     In connection with the Lazarus Burman Properties acquisition, the
     Operating Partnership assumed two mortgage loans totaling $4.5 million
     (the "Lazarus Burman Mortgage Loans").  The interest expense adjustment
     reflects interest on the Lazarus Burman Mortgage Loans as if such
     indebtedness was outstanding beginning January 1, 1996.

     The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition
     facility borrowings (at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
     plus 2%) for the assumed earlier purchase of the Other Acquisition
     Properties offset by the interest savings related to the assumed repayment
     of $59.4 million of acquisition facility borrowings on January 1, 1996
     from the proceeds of the February 1996 Capital Contribution.

     The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition
     facility borrowings (at LIBOR plus 2%) for borrowings under the Operating
     Partnership's $150 million secured revolving credit facility (the "1994
     Acquisition Facility") or LIBOR plus 1.1% for borrowings under the
     Operating Partnership's $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility
     (the "1996 Acquisition Facility") for the assumed earlier purchase of the
     Acquisition Properties and the 1996 Acquisition Properties, offset by the
     related interest savings related to the assumed repayment of $84.2
     million of acquisition facility borrowings on January 1, 1996 from the
     proceeds of the October 1996 Capital Contribution.
        
     The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition
     facility borrowings (at the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
     plus 1%) for the assumed earlier purchase of the 1997 Acquisition
     Property, the Lazarus Burman Properties, the Other 1997 Acquisition
     Properties and the Punia Acquisition Properties offset by the interest
     savings related to the assumed repayment of $144.0 million of acquisition
     facility borrowings on January 1, 1996 from the proceeds of the Series B
     Preferred Capital Contribution and Series C Preferred Capital
     Contribution.

                   NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      
     The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charges for the
     First Highland Properties, the Other Acquisition Properties, the
     Acquisition Properties, the 1996 Acquisition Properties, the 1997
     Acquisition Property, the Lazarus Burman Properties, the Other 1997
     Acquisition Properties and the Punia Acquisition Properties from January
     1, 1996 through the earlier of their respective acquisition date or
     December 31, 1996.

     The equity in income of other real estate partnerships adjustment reflects
     the Operating Partnership's 99% limited partnership equity interest in an
     acquisition made by First Industrial Pennsylvania Partnership, L.P. and an
     acquisition made by First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P.
