The Board of Trustees of
Equity Office Properties Trust


We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses of
One Lafayette Centre (the Property) as described in Note 2 for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  The Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses is the
responsibility of the Property's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses 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 Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses.  An audit also includes assessing
the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

The accompanying Statement of Revenue 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 Current Report on Form 8-K of Equity 
Office Properties Trust as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a 
complete presentation of the Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of
the Property described in Note 2 for the year ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

             Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Equity 
Office Properties Trust.  The accompanying statements are not representative of 
the actual operations of the Property for the periods presented nor indicative 
of future operations as certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization 
and interest expense, which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to 
be incurred by Equity Office Properties Trust in future operations of the 
Property, have been excluded.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related
leases.  Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenue and
expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

Unaudited Interim Statement

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statement reflects all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
period.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The accompanying Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses relate to the
operations of One Lafayette Centre, an office building with approximately
314,634 rentable square feet, located in Washington, D.C. (the "Property"). It
is expected that the Property will be acquired for $81.7 million by Equity
Office Properties Trust from an unrelated party.

        Notes to Combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses



1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses were
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 
8-K of Equity Office Properties Trust.  The accompanying financial statements 
are not representative of the actual operations of the Properties, as defined 
in Note 2, for the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as 
certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization and interest expense, 
which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by Equity 
Office Properties Trust in future operations of the Properties, have been 
excluded.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related
leases.  Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the combined
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Statement

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statement reflects all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
period.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The accompanying combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses relate to
the combined operations of the Acorn Properties (the "Properties").  Equity
Office Properties Trust expects to acquire an 89% managing general partnership
interest in each of the partnerships that hold title to the Properties for
approximately $144.7 million, including the assumption of debt.  The Acorn
Properties have been presented on a combined basis because all of the
Properties are under common control and management.  The following Properties
are included in the combined financial statements:

                       Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Trustees of
Equity Office Properties Trust

We have audited the accompanying combined Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses of the PPM Properties (the Properties) as described in Note 2 for the
year ended December 31, 1996.  The combined Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses is the responsibility of the Properties' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined Statement of Revenue
and Certain Expenses 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 Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the
Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses.  An audit also includes assessing
the basis of accounting used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

The accompanying combined Statement of Revenue 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 Current Report on Form 
8-K of Equity Office Properties Trust as described in Note 1, and is not 
intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties' combined revenue and 
expenses.

In our opinion, the combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses referred
to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenue and
certain expenses of the Properties described in Note 2 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        Notes to Combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses were
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 
8-K of Equity Office Properties Trust.  The accompanying financial statements 
are not representative of the actual operations of the Wright Runstad 
Properties (the "Properties") for the periods presented nor indicative of 
future operations as certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization and 
interest expense, which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be 
incurred by Equity Office Properties Trust in future operations of the 
Properties, have been excluded.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related
leases.  Expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the combined
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

Unaudited Interim Statement

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statement reflects all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
period.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

3. RENTALS

The Properties have entered into tenant leases that provide for tenants to
share in the operating expenses and real estate taxes on a pro rata basis, as
defined.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Properties were managed by an affiliated party to the seller, except for
Nordstrom Medical Tower, which is managed by a third party.  The management
agreements provided for a fee of 3.0% of gross receipts and reimbursements for
on-site personnel.

The Partnership owning the Properties is a member of the J. Nordstrom Medical
Tower Condominium Association (the Association), which provides administrative
services relating to building operations of the Nordstrom Medical Tower.  The
Association is managed by an affiliate.  The Association pays all operating
expenses associated with the building and is reimbursed annually by condominium
unit owners, including Nordstrom Medical Tower.  The Properties incurred
$510,000 under this agreement during 1996.

The Properties lease each of their parking garages to an affiliate of the
seller in exchange for a percentage of the parking revenue, net of expenses.
