              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
                              (Unaudited)

GENERAL

     Readers of this report should refer to the Partnership's audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 which are
included in the Partnership's 1998 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.

     The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first
quarter of 1996.  The Partnership's policy is to consider a property to be
held for sale or disposition when the Partnership has committed to a plan
to sell such property and active marketing activity has commenced or is
expected to commence in the near term.  In accordance with SFAS 121, any
properties identified as "held for sale or disposition" are no longer
depreciated.  As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership committed to a plan
to sell the Westdale Mall investment property or its interest in the
property.  Accordingly, the consolidated property has been classified as
held for sale or disposition in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.  The results of operations, net of the venture partner's share,
for Westdale Mall for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were
$468,058 and $425,556, respectively.

     No provision for State or Federal income taxes has been made as the
liability for such taxes is that of the partners rather than the
Partnership.  However, in certain instances, the Partnership may be
required under applicable law to remit directly to the tax authorities
amounts representing withholding from distributions paid to partners.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Fees, commissions and other expenses required to be paid by the
Partnership to the General Partners and their affiliates as of June 30,
1999 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

                                                           Unpaid at

     WESTDALE MALL

     Westdale Mall continues to operate in a very competitive retail
environment, which may adversely affect its operations due to various
circumstances.  Econofoods, which occupies 48,400 square feet of space on
the periphery of the site, has announced it will open a new, larger store
in an open air center across the street from Westdale Mall; therefore, the
Partnership believes that the tenant will likely not renew its lease upon
expiration in July 2000.  The operator of the cinema at Westdale Mall
opened a 12-screen multiplex cinema in a nearby development.  Furthermore,
it is expected that Westdale Mall is subject to greater competition in the
future, particularly from a new shopping center that opened in 1998
approximately 20 miles from Westdale Mall.  During the second quarter of
1999, occupancy increased to 91%, and 1% of the property is leased to
tenants on a month-to-month basis.  As leases expire, lease renewals and
new leases are likely to be at rental rates equal to or slightly below
rates on existing leases.  In addition, new leases will likely require
expenditures for lease commission and tenant improvements prior to tenant
occupancy.  This anticipated decline in rental rates, an anticipated
increase in re-leasing time and the costs upon re-leasing will result in a
decrease in cash flow from operations over the near term.  The Partnership
is also evaluating certain capital improvement projects and the competitive
positioning of this property in its market.

     The joint venture intends to allocate the resources necessary for the
manager of the mall to continue to attract new tenants, subject to working
capital sources and reserves.  The Gap, a retail store located in the mall,
was provided with a tenant allowance of $370,440 in consideration for the
renewal of its  lease.  The unaffiliated venture partner in the joint
venture elected not to contribute it's share of this tenant allowance.  The
Partnership, in order to retain this tenant, funded the tenant allowance
during 1997 and 1998.  The tenant allowance contribution of $370,440, plus
15% simple interest per annum, has been added to the Partnership's
preferred position from any future sales proceeds pursuant to the Westdale
venture agreement.

     The Partnership, on behalf of the joint venture, is presently actively
marketing the property for sale.  However, there can be no assurance that a
sale will be consummated.

     Effective August 1, 1998, management of the mall was assigned to Rouse
Property Management, Inc., an affiliate of the Rouse Company.  In October
1998, the Rouse Company or an affiliate thereof purchased a portion of the
interest in the unaffiliated venture partner in the joint venture.

ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of June 30, 1999
and the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

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 consolidated
financial statements for additional information concerning the
Partnership's investments.

     At June 30, 1999, the Partnership and its consolidated venture had
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6,149,000.  Such funds are
available for distributions to partners (including venture partners), and
working capital requirements, of which approximately $1,448,000 is being
held at the Westdale Mall for costs to be incurred including capital
additions and tenant improvements to the extent not funded by the venturers
as described further in the notes to the accompanying financial statements.

     The board of directors of JMB Realty Corporation ("JMB"), the managing
general partner of the Partnership, has established a Special Committee
(the "Special Committee") consisting of certain directors of JMB to deal
with all matters relating to tender offers for Interests in the
Partnership, including any and all responses to such tender offers.

     During 1998, some of the Limited Partners in the Partnership received
from an unaffiliated third party an unsolicited tender offer to purchase up
to 3.29% of the Interests in the Partnership at an amount of $200 per
Interest.  The Partnership remained neutral and expressed no opinion in
regards to acceptance of the offer.  In April 1999, some of the Limited
Partners in the Partnership received from an unaffiliated third party an
unsolicited tender offer to purchase up to 4.9% of the Interests in the
Partnership at an amount of $100 per Interest.  The Special Committee
advised the Limited Partners to accept the offer.  In June 1999, some of
the Limited Partners in the Partnership received from an unaffiliated third
party an unsolicited tender offer to purchase up to 4.78% of the Interests
in the Partnership at an amount of $50 per Interest.  The Special Committee
recommended against acceptance of this offer on the basis that, among other
things, the offer price was inadequate.  All such offers have expired.  As
of the date of this report, the Partnership is aware that, in the
aggregate, 9.99% of the outstanding Interests have been purchased by such
unaffiliated third parties either pursuant to such tender offers or through
negotiated purchases.  In addition, it is possible that other offers for
Interests may be made by unaffiliated third parties in the future,
although, there is no assurance that any other third party will commence an
offer for Interests, the terms of any such offer or whether any such offer,
if made, will be consummated, amended or withdrawn.

     The General Partners of the Partnership expect to be able to conduct
an orderly liquidation of its remaining investment property as quickly as
practicable.  The affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up as
soon as practicable pending the sale of the Partnership's remaining
investment property.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in interest, rents and other receivables at June 30, 1999
as compared to December 31, 1998 is primarily due to the timing of
collections of receivables at the Westdale Mall.

     The increase in accounts payable at June 30, 1999 as compared to
December 31, 1998 is primarily due to the timing of payments for certain
operating expenses at Westdale Mall.

     The decrease in accrued interest at June 30, 1999 as compared to
December 31, 1998 is primarily due to the timing of mortgage payments at
Westdale Mall.



<PAGE>


     The increase in accrued real estate taxes at June 30, 1999 as compared
to December 31, 1998 is due to an increase in real estate tax assessments
at Westdale Mall.

     The increase in rental income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
is primarily due to increases in income related to recoverable expenses as
a result of an increase in property operating expenses in 1999.  The
increase in property operating expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
is primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense (due to higher
assessments) and increases in other recoverable property operating expenses
(primarily due to an increase in occupancy, a change to contractual
janitorial services in 1999 resulting in higher initial costs and increased
lot maintenance costs due to unusually harsh weather) at Westdale Mall.

     The decrease in interest income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
is primarily due to the retention and investment, until late February 1998,
of proceeds from the redemption of One Woodfield Lake and also due to the
timing of the receipt of certain receivables resulting in a lower average
cash balance during the first half of 1999 as compared to the first half of
1998 at Westdale Mall.

     The increase in professional services for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998 is
primarily due to consulting fees and legal fees related to marketing costs
for the potential sale of the Westdale Mall.

     The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 is primarily due to an increase in marketing costs in
1999 for the potential sale of Westdale Mall partially offset by the
payment of the Illinois Replacement Tax, in the first quarter of 1998, on
the proceeds received from the redemption of One Woodfield Lake.

YEAR 2000

     The year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written
with two digits rather than four to define a year.  Consequently, any
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations
including, among other things, an inability to process transactions or
engage in other normal business activities.  In addition, other date-
sensitive electronic devices could experience various operational
difficulties as a result of not being year 2000 compliant.

     The Partnership uses the telephone, accounting, transfer agent and
other administrative systems, which include both hardware and software,
provided by affiliates of the Corporate General Partner and certain third
party vendors.  Except as noted in the following sentence, the Partnership
or its affiliates have received representations to the effect that the
telephone, accounting, transfer agent and other administrative systems are
year 2000 compliant in all material respects.  Both the hardware and
software for individual personal computers used in the Partnership's
administrative systems are expected to be tested for their year 2000
compliance during the summer of 1999.  Given its limited operations, the
Partnership believes that its accounting, transfer agent and most of its
other administrative systems functions could, if necessary, be performed
manually (i.e., without significant information technology) for an extended
period of time without a material increase in costs to the Partnership.
Accordingly, the Partnership does not believe that the year 2000 problem
presents a material risk for these aspects of its operations.  To date, the
Partnership has not incurred any material direct costs for year 2000
compliance.



<PAGE>


     The Partnership has asked the property manager for the Westdale Mall
for information concerning the property's year 2000 compliance but has not
received a response.  The Partnership intends to continue seeking
information regarding the property's year 2000 compliance.  In the event
that the Westdale Mall is not year 2000 compliant in all material respects,
the property could experience various operational difficulties or systems
failures.  This could result in unanticipated remediation costs and, under
certain circumstances, possible other costs and expenses.  If such were to
occur, there is no assurance that such costs and expenses would not, under
certain circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or
its investment in the Westdale Mall in the event that the property is not
sold during 1999.
