PART  I,  ITEM  2  --  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS
OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources

 At February 28, 1994, liquidity was provided by $10.4 million in cash
and investment securities and by an unused $10.0 million line of
credit.  Shareholders' equity of $171.7 million at February 28, 1994,
when compared to $171.0 million at November 30, 1993, principally
reflects net income in excess of distributions.

Sources of funds in the first quarter of 1994 were primarily from
property operations, the sale of its interest in a partnership and
MGI's portfolio of investment securities.  During the first quarter
of 1994, these resources were used to pay dividends of $2.4 million,
to repay $0.4 million of indebtedness, to fund $0.5 million of tenant
and capital improvements and to invest $6.4 million in connection with
the acquisition of two 100% leased and occupied industrial buildings
aggregating 156,300 square feet and located in Billerica,
Massachusetts.

 Total mortgage and other loans payable aggregated $68.7 million at
February 28, 1994, a net increase of $1.8 million compared to
November 30, 1993.  The increase resulted from the addition of $2.2
million of debt, as MGI received the balance of the proceeds of a loan
which closed in November 1993, and scheduled amortization payments of
$0.4 million.  Mortgage and other loans payable are collateralized by
certain of MGI's real estate investments, by $3.2 million of
investment securities and by MGI's guarantees of $9.2 million.

 Loans payable within twelve months or less totaled $19.0 million at
February 28, 1994, including a $6.3 million, 12.75% loan with an April
10, 1994 maturity and an $11.1 million floating rate loan with a
September 1994 maturity.  In March 1994, a mortgage loan commitment
was executed to borrow, subject to successful completion of certain
terms and conditions, $11.5 million for a twenty-year, self-amortizing
term at a fixed coupon interest rate of 7.7%.  This loan will be
secured by the apartment complex presently securing the 12.75% loan
maturing on April 10, 1994.  MGI is also engaged in discussions with
a commercial bank about entering into a $15.0 million, two-year line
of credit facility, which would be in addition to its current unused
line of credit.  Despite the generally reduced availability of real
estate financing, MGI believes it will be successful extending or
refinancing maturing mortgage loans upon satisfactory terms, although
there can be no assurance thereof.

 Cash requirements in 1994 include operations, distributions to
shareholders, capital and tenant improvements and other leasing
expenditures required to maintain MGI's occupancy levels, and new
investments undertakings.  MGI has agreed to acquire an
industrial building located in Billerica, Massachusetts containing
128,400 square feet of space and having a purchase price of
approximately $6.4 million cash.  MGI's offer to acquire this
industrial building has been accepted, subject to the satisfaction of
certain

conditions including due diligence by MGI and the execution of a
definitive purchase agreement.  If all of the conditions are
satisfied, the closing is anticipated to occur in the second quarter
of 1994.  The property is 100% leased to a single tenant for a
five-year lease term expiring in 1999.

 Principal sources of funds in the future are expected to be from
operations of properties including those acquired in the future,
mortgaging or refinancing existing mortgages on properties, the line
of credit and MGI's portfolio of investment securities.  Other
potential sources of funds may include the proceeds of offerings of
additional equity or debt securities or the sale of real estate
investments.  The cost of new borrowings or issuances of equity
capital will be measured against the anticipated yields of investments
to be acquired with such funds.  The purchase of additional properties
in 1994 may require the use of funds from MGI's line of credit, new
borrowings, the sale of properties currently owned or the issuance of
equity securities.  MGI believes the combination of cash and
investment securities, the value of MGI's unencumbered properties, and
other resources are sufficient to meet its short and long term
liquidity requirements.

Results of Operations

 Net income for the quarter ended February 28, 1994 was $2.9 million,
or $0.25 per share on the greater number shares outstanding, as
compared to $2.4 million, or $0.25 per share, in the first quarter of
1993.  Funds from operations for the first quarter of 1994 were
$4,343,000, or $0.38 per share on the greater number of shares
outstanding, compared to $4,057,000, or $.43 per share, in the
comparable 1993 quarter.

 Net income and funds from operations in the first quarter of 1993
included income of $1.0 million, or $.11 per share, received in
connection with a non-recurring amendment and assignment of a lease
at Yorkshire Plaza Shopping Center.  Net income in the first quarter
of 1994 included a gain of $450,000, or $.04 per share, recognized in
connection with the sale of MGI's interest in a partnership owning a
Florida apartment complex.

 MGI defines funds from operations as net income (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales of property and
similar non-cash items, depreciation and amortization charges, and
equity method partnership losses.  MGI believes funds from operations
is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.  The
change in funds from operations is attributable to the same factors
that affected income before net gains with the exception of
depreciation and amortization expense.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS
OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
                   (continued)

 The increase in income before net gains when comparing the first
quarter of 1994 to the first quarter of 1993 resulted principally from
the increase in properties owned and the receipt of a non-recurring
fee in 1993.  As a result, rental and other income, property operating
expenses, real estate tax expense and depreciation and amortization
expense increased.  The $1.9 million increase in rental and other
income in the first quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of
1993 was the result of $2.4 million from the properties acquired in
1993, $0.2 million from the properties acquired in 1994 and $0.3
million from the balance of the portfolio which was offset by $1.0
million of non-recurring income received in 1993 in connection with
a lease assignment and amendment.  Approximately 82% of the $0.7
million increase in property operating expenses and 86% of the $0.4
million increase in property taxes when comparing the 1994 first
quarter to the comparable 1993 period was attributable to the
properties acquired in 1993 and 1994.  The $0.2 million increase in
depreciation and amortization expense is due to the properties
acquired in 1993 and 1994.

 Three additional factors also contributed to the increase in income
before net gain and funds from operations when the 1994 first quarter
is compared to 1993.  Interest income reflects a decrease in the
average balance of short-term investments and mortgage loan
receivable.  General and administrative expenses increased, primarily
reflecting personnel and shareholder related items.  Interest expense
increased reflecting a higher average level of debt outstanding. 

 Average occupancy in the first quarter of 1994 was 93.5%, as compared
to approximately 93% in the comparable 1993 quarter.  Average
residential occupancy in the 1994 first quarter was 93% and 94% in the
1993 first quarter.  Average occupancy levels for MGI's commercial
space of 94% in the 1994 first quarter were higher than the 92% for
the comparable 1993 quarter.  This improvement reflects the increased
size of the industrial portfolio and the higher average industrial
occupancy in 1994 (99% versus 92% a year ago), which was partially
offset by decreased office occupancy in the 1994 first quarter (90%
in 1994 versus 93% in 1993), primarily at the suburban Chicago,
Illinois and Somerset, New Jersey buildings.  Average retail occupancy
was comparable in both periods.  At February 28, 1994 scheduled 1994
lease expirations approximate 277,000 square feet.  Of the remaining
1994 expirations, 194,000 square feet is industrial, 73,000 is office
and 10,000 is retail.

 Real estate investments and operations are subject to a number of
factors including changes in general economic climate, local
conditions (such as an oversupply of space, a decline in effective
rents or a reduction in the demand for real estate), competition from
other available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate
maintenance, to fund

                  (continued)

capital and tenant improvements required to maintain market position
and to control operating costs.   In certain markets in which the
Trust owns real estate, overbuilding and local or national economic
conditions have combined to produce lower effective rents and/or
longer absorption periods for vacant space.  As the Trust re-leases
space, certain effective rents may be less than those earned
previously.  Management believes its diversification by region and
property type reduces the risks associated with these factors and
enhances opportunities for cash flow growth and capital gains
potential, although there can be no assurance thereof.

 During the past three fiscal years, the impact of inflation on MGI's
operations and investment activity has not been significant.
