CUSIP No. 140920 10 9            SCHEDULE 13D
- ---------------------

     This Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D, which is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-
2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
amends and supplements the original Schedule 13D, dated January 3, 1997 (the
"Original Schedule 13D"), which was originally filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 13, 1997 on behalf of CalREIT
Investors Limited Partnership, Zell General Partnership, Inc. and Mr. Samuel
Zell (the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the ownership of common shares of
beneficial interest, $1.00 par value (which shares were reclassified on July 15,
1997 as class A common shares of beneficial interest, $1.00 par value) ("Common
Shares"), of California Real Estate Investment Trust (renamed as Capital Trust
on July 15, 1997), a California business trust. This Amendment No. 1 reports the
termination of any further obligation of Reporting Persons to report on Schedule
13D with respect to the beneficial ownership of Common Shares reported in the 
Original Schedule 13D. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall 
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

     (a) As a result of the sale transaction discussed below in paragraph (c) of
this Item 5, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Common Shares
other than the Common Shares that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to
beneficially own through CalREIT LP's ownership interest in Veqtor (as defined
below in paragraph (c) of this Item 5) which beneficial ownership will be the
subject of a Schedule 13D filing in accordance with Rule 13d-1(a) under the
Exchange Act (the "New Schedule 13D").

          (c) During the sixty days prior to the date hereof, the Reporting
Persons effected no transactions in the Common Shares other than the following
transaction. On July 15, 1997, CalREIT LP sold its entire ownership position of
6,959,593 Common Shares to Veqtor Finance Company, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Veqtor"), in a privately negotiated transaction. Pursuant to
the terms of a Common Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 15, 1997, the
purchase price paid by Veqtor was $20,222,011 (approximately $2.91 per share).

     (e) On July 15, 1997, the Reporting Persons ceased to be a beneficial owner
of more than 5% of the Common Shares, thereby terminating any future obligation
of the Reporting Persons to report on Schedule 13D with respect to beneficial
ownership of the Common Shares (other than with respect to the Common Shares to
be the subject of the New Schedule 13D).
