                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 which are
included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report, as certain footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such
audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 was adopted by the
Partnership on January 1, 1996.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 Financial
Statements in order to conform with the 1996 presentation.


TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Fees, commissions and other expenses required to be paid by the
Partnership to the General Partners and their affiliates as of March 31,
1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

OAKRIDGE VENTURE

     During 1996, the venture substantially completed the renovation and
remodel of the mall.  As a result, approximately $2,300,000 of excess
proceeds from the refinancing was released from escrow by the lender. 
Remaining loan proceeds of $4,347,268 have been classified as restricted. 
These proceeds will be utilized for capital expenditures, including the
replacement of the roof, and previously deferred maintenance at the mall.

     The $1,700,000 Macy's remodeling project has been completed.


ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of March 31,
1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.



PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning the Partnership's
investments.

     Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,000,000 and restricted
cash of $4,775,935 are retained by Oakridge venture at March 31, 1996. 
Such cash and restricted funds will be retained by the venture until
requirements for operating reserves, repairs and deferred maintenance
projects can be more accurately determined by the joint venture.  Upon
determining necessary reserves to cover such projects, the venture will
distribute any remaining proceeds to the partners equally pursuant to the
terms of the Venture agreement.  Accordingly, the ultimate source of future
liquidity of the partnership and distributions to partners is expected to
come from the sale of the remaining investment property.

     After reviewing the remaining property and its competitive
marketplace, and considering the mall renovation which has been
substantially completed in early 1996, the General Partners of the
Partnership expect to be able to liquidate the remaining asset as quickly
as practicable.  The affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up
no later than 1999 (sooner if the property is sold in the nearer term),
barring unforeseen economic developments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The increase in cash and cash equivalents, the decrease in the
restricted construction loan proceeds (to be used for the mall expansion
and remodeling project) and the increase in buildings and improvements is
due to the completion of the mall expansion at the Oakridge investment
property during 1996.

     The decrease in rents and other receivables at March 31, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the timing of receipt of
rent from tenants at the Oakridge investment property.

     The increase in escrow deposits and other assets at March 31, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the payment of monthly
real estate tax deposits into an escrow account.

     The increase in rental income and venture partner's share of venture's
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1995 is primarily due to a reversal of an over
accrual of overage rent at the Oakridge investment property recognized
during the three month period ending March 31, 1995.

     The increase in interest income and mortgage and other interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is primarily due to
refinancing of the mortgage debt and establishment of required escrow
accounts at the Oakridge investment property during 1995.

     The increase in depreciation expense for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 is primarily
due to the capital additions incurred in 1995 and 1996 at the Oakridge Mall
investment property.

     The extraordinary item, net of venture partner's share, is due to the
retirement of indebtedness related to the refinancing of the mortgage debt
at the Oakridge investment property in February, 1995.
