ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     Unless otherwise indicated, all references to "Notes" are to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this annual report. 
Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined, have the same meanings as
used in the Notes.

     The registrant, JMB Income Properties, Ltd.-IV (the "Partnership"), is
a limited partnership formed in early 1976 and currently governed by the
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Illinois to invest
in improved income-producing commercial real property.  The Partnership
sold $20,000,000 in Limited Partnership interests (the "Interests") to the
public commencing on July 26, 1976 pursuant to a Registration Statement on
Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Registration No. 2-55624).  A
total of 20,000 Interests were sold to the public at $1,000 per Interest. 
The offering closed September 24, 1976.  No Limited Partner has made any
additional capital contribution after such date.  The Limited Partners of
the Partnership share in their portion of the benefits of ownership of the
Partnership's real property investments according to the number of
Interests held.

     The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of the acquisition,
operation and sale and disposition of equity real estate investments.  Such
equity investments are held by fee title and/or through joint venture
interests.  The Partnership has one remaining real property investment
located in Huntsville, Alabama.  A presentation of information about
industry segments, geographic regions, raw materials or seasonality is not
applicable and would not be material to an understanding of the
Partnership's business taken as a whole.  Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement, the Partnership is required to terminate no later than December
31, 2026.  The Partnership is self-liquidating in nature.  At sale of a
particular property, the net proceeds, if any, are generally distributed or
reinvested in existing properties rather than invested in acquiring
additional properties.  As discussed further in Item 7, the Partnership
currently expects to conduct an orderly liquidation of its remaining
investment property as quickly as practicable and to wind up its affairs
not later than December 31, 1999, barring unforeseen economic developments.

     The Partnership has made the real property investments set forth in
the following table:

     The Partnership's remaining real property investment is subject to

tenants.  Additionally, the Partnership is in competition for new tenants
if significant vacancies are present.  Reference is made to Item 7 below
for a discussion of competitive conditions and future capital improvement
plans of the Partnership and its investment property.  Approximate
occupancy levels for the property are set forth in the table in Item 2
below to which reference is hereby made.  The Partnership maintains the
suitability and competitiveness of its property in its market primarily on
the basis of effective rents, tenant allowances and services provided to
tenants.  In the opinion of the Managing General Partner of the
Partnership, the remaining investment property held at December 31, 1996 is
adequately insured.

     Reference is made to the Notes for a schedule of minimum lease
payments to be received in each of the next five years, and in the

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                                PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS 
         AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

     As of December 31, 1996, there were 1,646 record Holders of Interests
of the Partnership.  There is no public market for Interests and it is not
anticipated that a public market for Interests will develop.  Upon request,
the Managing General Partner may provide information relating to a
prospective transfer of Interests to an investor desiring to transfer his
Interests.  The price to be paid for the Interests as well as any other
economic aspects of the transaction will be subject to negotiation by the
investor.  There are certain conditions and restrictions on the transfer of
Interests, including, among other things, the requirement that the
substitution of a transferee of Interests as a Limited Partner of the
Partnership be subject to the written consent of the Managing General
Partner, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion.  The rights of a transferee of Interests who does not become a
substituted Limited Partner will be limited to the rights to receive his
share of profits or losses and cash distributions from the Partnership, and
such transferee will not be entitled to vote such Interests or have other
rights of a Limited Partner.  No transfer will be effective until the first
day of the next succeeding calendar quarter after the requisite transfer
form satisfactory to the Managing General Partner has been received by the
Managing General Partner.  The transferee consequently will not be entitled
to receive any cash distributions or any allocable share of profits or
losses for tax purposes until such succeeding calendar quarter.  Profits or
losses from operations of the Partnership for a calendar year in which a
transfer occurs will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee
based upon the number of quarterly periods in which each was recognized as
the holder of Interests, without regard to the results of Partnership's
operations during particular quarterly periods and without regard to
whether cash distributions were made to the transferor or transferee. 
Profits or losses arising from the sale or other disposition of Partnership
properties will be allocated to the recognized holder of the Interests as
of the last day of the quarter in which the Partnership recognized such
profits or losses.  Cash distributions to a holder of Interests arising
from the sale or other disposition of Partnership properties will be
distributed to the recognized holder of the Interests as of the last day of
the quarterly period with respect to which distribution is made.

     Reference is made to Item 6 below for a discussion of cash
distributions made to the Holders of Interest.

______________

      (a)     The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements  and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report.

      (b)     The net earnings (loss) per Interest is based upon the number of Interests outstanding at the end
of each period (20,005).

      (c)     Cash distributions from the Partnership are generally not equal to Partnership income (loss) for
financial reporting or Federal income tax purposes.  Each Partner's taxable income (or loss) from the Partnership
in each year is equal to his allocable share of the taxable income (or loss) of the Partnership without regard to
the cash generated or distributed by the Partnership.  Accordingly, cash distributions to the Limited Partners
since the inception of the Partnership have not resulted in taxable income to such Limited Partners and have
therefore represented a return of capital.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As a result of the public offering described in Item 1, the
Partnership had approximately $17,996,000 (after deducting selling expenses
and other offering costs) with which to make investments in commercial real
property, to pay legal fees and other costs (including acquisition fees)
related to such investments and for working capital.  A portion of such
proceeds was utilized to acquire the properties described in Item 1 above.

     At December 31, 1996, the Partnership and its consolidated venture had
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,552,000 of which
approximately $786,000 represents the joint venture partner's share of
undistributed cash flow from operations of Huntsville.  The remaining funds
of approximately $3,766,000 are available for tenant costs and improvements
and other capital expenditures, distributions to partners and for working
capital requirements.  The Partnership and its consolidated venture have
currently budgeted in 1997 approximately $29,000 for tenant improvements
and other capital expenditures at the Parkway City Mall.  The Partnership's
share of such items is currently budgeted to be approximately $20,000. 
Such budgeted amounts do not include any amounts which may be expended to
retain or attract certain tenants or to pursue alternative development or
sales strategies as discussed further in the Notes.  Actual amounts
expended in 1997 may vary depending on a number of factors including actual
leasing activity, results of property operations, liquidity considerations
and other market conditions over the course of the year.  The ultimate
source of capital for long-term future liquidity and distributions is
expected to be from net cash generated by the Partnership's remaining
shopping center investment property and from the sale of such investment. 
The Partnership believes it has sufficient cash reserves to meet its short-
term liquidity needs.  In such regard, reference is made to the
Partnership's property specific discussion below.  The Partnership's and
its venture's mortgage obligation is a separate non-recourse loan secured
by the investment property and is not an obligation of the Partnership, and
the Partnership and its venture are not personally liable for the payment
of the mortgage indebtedness.

     During the second quarter of 1996, some of the Holders of Interests in
the Partnership received from an unaffiliated third party an unsolicited
tender offer to purchase up to 653 Interests in the Partnership at between
$180 and $225 per Interest.  The Partnership recommended against acceptance
of this offer on the basis that, among other things, the offer price was
inadequate.  In June, such offer expired.  As of the date of this report,
the Partnership is aware that 315 Interests have been purchased by such
unaffiliated third parties either pursuant to such tender offers or through
negotiated purchases.  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 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.  The Special Committee has retained independent counsel to
advise it in connection with any potential tender offers for Interests and
has retained Lehman Brothers Inc. as financial advisor to assist the
Special Committee in evaluating and responding to any additional potential
tender offers for Interests.





     In May 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $130 per Limited
Partnership Interest, or $2,600,650, and a distribution of $265,425 to the
General Partners.  The distributions were made out of previously
undistributed sales proceeds and cash flow from operations held as working
capital reserves that had been retained for capital and leasing costs in
connection with the possible redevelopment of the Parkway City Mall as
described in the Notes.

     The Partnership's remaining investment property, Parkway City Mall is
one of the two malls serving the Huntsville metropolitan area.  Several
years ago, another shopping center developer announced plans for a proposed
third mall which, if built, would significantly impact the market share of
Parkway City Mall.  Additionally, several department stores, some of which
currently have stores at Parkway City Mall announced their intention to
open stores at the proposed third mall.  The potential development of a
third mall continues to have substantial adverse effects on Huntsville's
ability to market the Parkway City Mall for lease or sale.

     Recently, certain department stores, some of which already operate
stores at Parkway City Mall, have indicated their desire to open new stores
at the center subject to certain conditions.  This may significantly change
Huntsville's strategy at the center.  Huntsville is currently evaluating
alternatives, including a possible remerchandising of the center, in light
of these new developments.

     GENERAL

     While the real estate markets are recuperating, highly competitive
market conditions continue to exist in most locations.  The Partnership's
approach has been to aggressively and creatively manage the Partnership's
real estate asset to attract and retain tenants.  Net effective rents to
the landlord from renewal tenants are generally much more favorable than
lease terms which can be negotiated with new tenants.  However, the
Partnership's capital resources must also be preserved and allocated in
such a manner as to maximize the total value of its remaining property.

     As a result of the real estate market conditions discussed above, the
Partnership continues to conserve its working capital.  All expenditures
are carefully analyzed and certain capital projects are deferred when
appropriate.  In an effort to reduce partnership operating expenses, the
Partnership expects to make semi-annual rather than quarterly distributions
of available operating cash flow when it is determined that periodic
distributions to the Partners will recommence.  By conserving working
capital, the Partnership will be in a better position to meet the future
needs of the property.  Due to these factors, the Partnership has held its
remaining investment property longer than originally anticipated in an
effort to maximize the return to the Limited Partners.  However, after
reviewing Parkway City Mall and the marketplace in which it operates, the
General Partners of the Partnership expect to conduct an orderly
liquidation of its remaining investment property as quickly as practicable.

Therefore, the affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up no
later than December 31, 1999 (sooner if the last remaining property is sold
in the near term), barring unforeseen economic developments.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995 and the decrease in venture partner's equity
in venture at December 31, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995 are both
attributable primarily to the May 1996 distribution of $3,200,000 from
Huntsville of previously undistributed cash retained for future capital and
leasing costs in connection with the possible redevelopment of the Parkway
City Mall.

     The decrease in Venture partner's equity in venture partners capital
accounts at December 31, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily
due to distributions of prior years net cash receipts of $977,762 partially
offset by the Venture partner's share of income from venture operations.




     The decrease in rental income for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy
at Parkway City Mall during 1996 and the effects of rents being accrued
ratably over the terms of the leases in 1996 and 1995.  The increases in
rental income and venture partner's share of venture's operations in 1995
as compared to 1994 is primarily due to an increase in occupancy, an
increase in temporary tenant and overage rent revenues, and rents being
accrued ratably over the terms of the leases rather than as paid at the
Parkway City Mall.  Reference is made to the property specific discussion
above.

     The decrease in interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996
as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the May
1996 distribution of accumulated cash reserves.  The increase in interest
income for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the years ended
December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 is primarily a result of greater
average balances invested in short-term investments during 1995.  The
Partnership had retained excess cash as working capital reserves for
possible redevelopment of the Parkway City Mall.

     The increase in property operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is the
result of increased advertising and advertising production costs of
approximately $120,000, partially offset by a reduction in market research
costs incurred during 1995 of approximately $55,000.  The increase in
property operating expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to the year ended December 31, 1994 is primarily due to an increase in
salary expense of approximately $133,000, partially offset by a
corresponding decrease in security expense of approximately $54,000, due to
the addition of an operations supervisor in the third quarter of 1994 and
the hiring of in-house security personnel in 1995 resulting from the
termination of an outside security contract, and an increase in advertising
and market research expense of approximately $45,000 (all of which are
partially recoverable from tenants) at the Parkway City Mall.

     During 1996, the Corporate General Partner received management fees of
$88,911 out of distributions of operating cash flow.

     Distributions in 1996 represent previously undistributed sales
proceeds and cash flow from operations held as working capital reserves. 
Distributions to limited and general partners in 1994 represented
distributions of a portion of the proceeds from the December 1992 sale of
the Holly Hill Mall shopping center.

     The decrease in Venture partners share of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 is
due to the decreases in rental and interest income and the increases in
property operating expenses at Parkway City Mall.

     INFLATION

     Due to the decrease in the level of inflation in recent years,
inflation generally has not had a material effect on rental income or
property operating expenses.

     Inflation is not expected to significantly impact future operations
due to the expected liquidation of the Partnership by 1999.  However, to
the extent that inflation in future periods would have an adverse impact on
property operating expenses, the effect would generally be offset by
amounts recovered from tenants as many of the long-term leases at the
Partnership's commercial property have escalation clauses covering
increases in the cost of operating and maintaining the property as well as
real estate taxes.  Therefore, there should be little effect on operating
earnings if the property remains substantially occupied.  In addition,
substantially all of the leases contain provisions which entitle the
Partnership to participate in gross receipts of tenants above fixed minimum
amounts.

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Partners
JMB INCOME PROPERTIES, LTD. - IV:

     We have audited the consolidated financial statements of JMB Income
Properties, Ltd. - IV (a limited partnership) and consolidated venture as
listed in the accompanying index.  In connection with our audits of the
consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial
statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index.  These consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the General Partners of the Partnership.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits 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 statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by the General Partners of the
Partnership, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
JMB Income Properties, Ltd. - IV and consolidated venture at December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

     As discussed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, in
1996, the Partnership and its consolidated venture changed their method of
accounting for long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of to
conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121.

                   DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994




OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The Partnership holds (through a joint venture) an ownership in a
shopping center in Huntsville, Alabama.  Business activities consist of
rentals to a variety of retail companies, and the ultimate sale or
disposition of such real estate.  The Partnership currently expects to
conduct an orderly liquidation of its remaining investment and wind up its
affairs not later than December 31, 1999.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its
majority owned venture, Huntsville Mall Associates ("Huntsville").  The
effect of all transactions between the Partnership and its consolidated
venture has been eliminated.

     The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes.  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from such
records after making appropriate adjustments to present the Partnership's
accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") and to consolidate the accounts of the venture as described above.

Such GAAP and consolidation adjustments are not recorded on the records of
the Partnership.  The net effect of these items for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>




     The net earnings (loss) per limited partnership interest ("Interest")
is based upon the number of Interests outstanding at the end of each period
(20,005).  Deficit partners' capital accounts will result, through the
duration of the Partnership, in net gain for financial reporting and income
tax purposes.

     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 reported period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95 requires the
Partnership to present a statement which classifies receipts and payments
according to whether they stem from operating, investing or financing
activities.  The required information has been segregated and accumulated
according to the classifications specified in the pronouncement.  In
addition, the Partnership records investments held in U.S. Government
obligations at cost, which approximates market.  For the purpose of these
statements, the Partnership's policy is to consider all such amounts held
with original maturities of three months or less ($4,160,423 and $6,481,490
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively) as cash equivalents, which
includes investments in an institutional mutual fund which holds United
States Government obligations, with any remaining amounts (generally with
original maturities of one year or less) reflected as short-term
investments being held to maturity.

     Deferred expenses consist of leasing fees which are amortized over the
term of the related leases using the straight-line method.

     Although certain leases of the Partnership provide for tenant
occupancy during periods for which no rent is due and/or increases in
minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, the Partnership accrues
rental income for the full period of occupancy on a straight-line basis. 
Such amounts are reflected in accrued rents receivable in the accompanying
balance sheets.

     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 has been
required under applicable law to remit directly to the taxing authorities
amounts representing withholding from distributions paid to partners.

     The Partnership initially acquired, either directly or through joint
ventures, three shopping centers and three office buildings, five of which
properties have been sold as of December 31, 1996.  The remaining property
owned at December 31, 1996, the Parkway City Mall shopping center, is in
operation.  The cost of the investment property represents the total cost
to the Partnership or its venture, including miscellaneous acquisition
costs.

     Depreciation on the properties during the period of ownership has been
provided over the estimated useful lives of the various components as
follows:

incurred.  Significant betterments and improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives.





     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.  SFAS 121 requires that the Partnership record an
impairment loss on its properties to be held for investment whenever their
carrying value cannot be fully recovered through estimated undiscounted
future cash flows from their operations and sale.  The amount of the
impairment loss to be recognized would be the difference between the
property's carrying value and the property's estimated fair value.  The
Partnership's policy is to consider a property to be held for sale or
disposition when the Partnership has committed to 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. 
Adjustments for impairment loss for such properties (subsequent to the date
of adoption of SFAS 121) are made in each period as necessary to report
these properties at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to
sell.  The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have any effect on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

     The remaining investment property of the Partnership is pledged as
security for the long-term debt, for which there is no recourse to the
Partnership.


HUNTSVILLE - PARKWAY CITY MALL

     The Partnership is a general partner in Huntsville Mall Associates
("Huntsville").  In 1976, Huntsville purchased a shopping center, the
Parkway City Mall, in Huntsville, Alabama for $10,024,458.  The Partnership
originally contributed approximately $3,450,000 to Huntsville.

     In 1979, the original venture partner sold its interest in Huntsville,
for which the Partnership had the right of first refusal, to affiliates of
the General Partners of the Partnership for $1,050,000 in cash.

     Net cash receipts (as defined) of Huntsville are distributed as
follows: the first $83,455 is distributable to the Partnership; the next
$343,750 is distributable $275,000 to the Partnership and $68,750 to the
venture partner, and any remaining net cash receipts are distributable 60%
to the Partnership and 40% to the venture partner.  The Partnership
received distributions of prior years' net cash receipts of approximately
$2,200,000 in May 1996.  The Partnership has a preferred position (related
to the Partnership's cash investment in Huntsville) with respect to
distribution of sale or refinancing proceeds from Huntsville.

     In prior years, the venture partners made non-interest bearing loans
(70% funded by the Partnership) to the venture to fund an expansion of the
property and certain other improvements.  The loans are to be repaid from
net sales proceeds.  Other long-term liabilities consist of the non-
interest bearing loan payable to the venture partner.

     In January 1994, a major tenant at the shopping center exercised its
option to extend its lease for five years, from February 1, 1995 through
January 31, 2000.  Additionally, as occupancy of the property is 75% at
December 31, 1996, significant leasing costs may be required in conjunction
with Huntsville's continuing efforts to lease vacant space at the property.

     Huntsville's operating profits (other than depreciation expense) are
allocated to the Partnership (to a maximum of 80%) in relation to
distributions of net cash receipts.  Huntsville's operating losses are
allocated to the Partnership to the extent of 80%.  The Partnership's share
of the net earnings of Huntsville in each of 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
approximately 66%.

     Huntsville had previously discontinued its distributions effective
with the first quarter of 1993 in order to fund certain tenant allowances
and a limited renovation of the shopping center in 1993 and 1994. 
Subsequently, in response to market conditions, Huntsville had examined a




potential redevelopment of the Parkway City Mall which it determined not to
undertake, as described below.  Consequently, in May 1996, Huntsville made
a special distribution of its net cash receipts for 1993, 1994 and a
portion of 1995 of which the Partnership's share was approximately
$2,200,000.

     Parkway City Mall is one of the two malls serving the Huntsville
metropolitan area.  Several years ago, another shopping center developer
announced plans for a proposed third mall which, if built, would
significantly impact the market share of the Parkway City Mall. 
Additionally, several department stores, some of which currently have
stores at the Parkway City Mall, announced their intention to open stores
at the proposed third mall.  The potential development of the third mall
continues to have substantial adverse effects on Huntsville's ability to
market the Parkway City Mall for lease or sale.  Huntsville had considered
other alternative plans to reposition the property to effectively compete
with the third mall, when built.  However, due to the complexity of the
redevelopment, the lengthy time span likely needed to complete the project
and Huntsville's and the Partnership's desire to wind up their affairs
within the next few years, it was determined that it would be better for a
buyer with a longer-term ownership perspective to undertake the
redevelopment.  Accordingly, in May 1996, Huntsville distributed funds
($3,200,000) no longer required for that potential project.

     Recently, certain department stores, some of which already operate
stores at Parkway City Mall, have indicated their desire to remain at the
center, subject to certain conditions.  This may significantly change
Huntsville's strategy for the center.  Huntsville is currently evaluating
its alternatives including a possible remerchandising of the center, in
light of these new developments.

     There are a number of factors that may affect the timing of a sale and
the sale price that will ultimately be achieved for the Parkway City Mall,
including, among other things, the following:  potential increased
competition from the proposed new shopping mall in the area and the timing
of the development of such shopping mall, the relative attractiveness of
retail properties for investment purposes, conditions for retailing
generally, interest rates, the actual operations of the property, tenant
bankruptcies, the continued operation and success of anchor department
store tenants, the quality of existing tenants and the ability to retain
such existing tenants and attract new tenants at the property.  As a
result, there is no assurance as to what price will ultimately be obtained
upon a sale of the Parkway City Mall or the timing of such a sale.

     Huntsville has entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the
General Partners for the operation and management of the Parkway City Mall.

Such agreement provides for management fees equal to 5% of the property's
gross receipts.

LONG-TERM DEBT

     Long-term debt consists of the following at December 31, 1996 and
1995:

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

     Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, net profits or
losses of the Partnership from operations are allocated 98% to the Limited
Partners and 2% to the General Partners.  Profits from the sale or
refinancing of investment properties are allocated to the General Partners
in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of such profits or any cash
distributions from such sale or refinancing paid to the General Partners. 
Losses from the sale or refinancing of investment properties are allocated
1% to the General Partners.  The remaining profits and losses from a sale
or refinancing are allocated to the Limited Partners.  However, if at any
time profits are realized by the Partnership, any current or anticipated
event that would cause the deficit balance in absolute amount in the
Capital Account of the General Partners to be greater than their share of
the Partnership's indebtedness (as defined) after such event, then the
allocation of Profits to the General Partners shall be increased to the
extent necessary to cause the deficit balance in the Capital Account of the
General Partners to be no less than their respective shares of the
Partnership's indebtedness (as defined) after such event.

     The General Partners are not required to make any capital contri-
butions except under certain limited circumstances upon termination of the
Partnership.  Distributions of "cash flow" of the Partnership are allocated
90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners (of which 5%
constitutes a management fee to the Managing General Partner for services
in managing the Partnership).

     After the Limited Partners' receipt of their contributed capital plus
a stipulated return thereon (which had been received as of December 31,
1985) distributions of proceeds arising from the sale or refinancing of
investment properties are allocated 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to
the General Partners.  In addition, the General Partners are entitled to
receive distributions in an amount up to 3/4 of 1% of the selling price of
a property in the event of a sale.


LEASES - AS PROPERTY LESSOR

     At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's and its consolidated venture's
principal assets consist of one shopping center.  The Partnership has
determined that all leases relating to this property are properly
classified as operating leases; therefore, rental income is reported when
earned and the cost of the property, excluding the cost of land, is
depreciated over the estimated useful lives.  Leases with tenants range
from one to ten remaining years and provide for fixed minimum rent and
partial reimbursement of operating costs.  In addition, leases with certain
shopping center tenants provide for additional rent based upon percentages
of tenants' sales volumes.  A substantial portion of the ability of retail
tenants to honor their leases is dependent upon the retail economic sector.





     Minimum lease payments, including amounts representing executory costs
(e.g., taxes, maintenance, insurance), and any related profit in excess of
specific reimbursements, to be received in the future under the above
commercial operating lease agreements are as follows:

             1997 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  $ 1,716,427

     Any amounts payable to the General Partners and their affiliates do
not bear interest and are expected to be paid in future periods.

     Effective October 1, 1995, the Managing General Partner of the
Partnership engaged independent third parties to perform certain
administrative services for the Partnership which were previously performed
by affiliates of the General Partners.  Use of such third parties is not
expected to have a material effect on the operations of the Partnership.

     During 1996, the Corporate General Partner received management fees of
$88,911 out of distributions of operating cash flow.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING 
         AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     There were no changes in or disagreements with, accountants during
fiscal year 1995 and 1996.


                               PART III


ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is JMB Realty
Corporation ("JMB"), a Delaware corporation, substantially all of the
outstanding stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by certain of
its officers, directors, members of their families and affiliates.  JMB has
responsibility for all aspects of the Partnership's operations, subject to
the requirement that sales of real property must be approved by Messrs.
Neil G. Bluhm and Judd D. Malkin as individual general partners of the
Partnership.  The Partnership is subject to certain conflicts of interest
arising out of its relationships with the General Partners and their
affiliates as well as the fact that the General Partners and their
affiliates are engaged in a range of real estate activities.  Certain
services have been and may in the future be provided to the Partnership or
its investment properties by affiliates of the General Partners, including
property management services and insurance brokerage services.  In general,
such services are to be provided on terms no less favorable to the
Partnership than could be obtained from independent third parties and are
otherwise subject to conditions and restrictions contained in the
Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership Agreement permits the General
Partners and their affiliates to provide services to, and otherwise deal
and do business with, persons who may be engaged in transactions with the
Partnership, and permits the Partnership to borrow from, purchase goods and
services from, and otherwise to do business with, persons doing business
with the General Partners or their affiliates.  The General Partners and
their affiliates may be in competition with the Partnership under certain
circumstances, including, in certain geographical markets, for tenants for
properties and/or for the sale of properties.  Because the timing and
amount of cash distributions and profits and losses of the Partnership may
be affected by various determinations by the General Partners under the
Partnership Agreement, including whether and when to sell or refinance a
property, the establishment and maintenance of reasonable reserves, the
timing of expenditures and the allocation of certain tax items under the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partners may have a conflict of interest
with respect to such determinations.

     The names, positions held and length of service therein of each
director and the executive and certain other officers of the Managing
General Partner are as follows:

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Partnership has no officers or directors.  The Partnership is
required to pay a management fee to the Managing General Partner and the
General Partners are entitled to receive a share of cash distributions,
when and as cash distributions are made to the Limited Partners, and a
share of profits or losses.  During 1996, management fees of $88,911 were
paid to the Managing General Partner and the General Partner received cash
distributions from operations of $265,425.  In 1995 and 1994, no cash
distributions from operations were paid to the General Partners.  No
management fees were due to the Managing General Partner for 1995 and 1994.

The General Partners received a sale distribution of $88,257 in 1994 from
the proceeds of the sale of the Holly Hill Mall shopping center.  The
General Partners also received a share of the Partnership's earnings for
tax purposes aggregating $209,646 in 1996.

     JMB Insurance Agency, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner of the Partnership, earned insurance brokerage commissions in 1996
aggregating $9,211, all of which was paid at December 31, 1996, in
connection with providing insurance coverage for the remaining real
property investments of the Partnership.  Such commissions are at rates set
by insurance companies for the classes of coverage involved.

     Urban Retail Properties Company, an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner, provided property management services to the Partnership in 1996
for the Parkway City Mall investment property at a fee calculated at 5% of
gross income from such property.  In 1996, such affiliate earned property
management fees of $187,284 for such services, all of which was paid at
December 31, 1996.  As set forth in the Prospectus of the Partnership, the
Managing General Partner must negotiate such agreements on terms no less
favorable to the Partnership than those customarily charged for similar
services in the relevant geographical area (but in no event at rates
greater than 5% of the gross income from a property), and such agreements
must be terminable by either party thereto, without penalty upon 60 days'
notice.

     The General Partners of the Partnership and their affiliates may be
reimbursed for their direct expenses relating to the administration of the

investments.  In 1996, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership and
