Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                  On June 22, 1999, the registrant,  MGI Properties  (NYSE: MGI)
(the "Trust"),  sold 53 New England commercial  properties (the "Properties") to
BCIA Funding Corp., a Massachusetts corporation (the "Purchaser"). A copy of the
Purchase and Sale  Agreement and the  amendments  thereto in respect the sale of
the Properties are attached  hereto as Exhibits 2.1*, 2.2* and 2.3*. The sale of
the Properties  was in  furtherance of the Trust's Plan of Complete  Liquidation
and Termination of Trust,  which was adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees on
August 12, 1998 and approved by the Trust's shareholders on October 14, 1998.

         In  consideration  for the sale of the  Properties,  $403,541,709  (the
"Purchase Price") was paid by the Purchaser to the Trust,  $395,679,514 of which
was paid in cash  and  $7,862,195  of debt was  assumed  by the  Purchaser.  The
Purchase Price was determined by  arms-length  negotiations  between the parties
and was based upon the aggregate fair market value of the 53 Properties.

Item 5.  Other Events.

                  On  July  1,  1999,  the  Trust  announced  that  it had  also

            NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1

The pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended November 30,
1998 presents the audited  consolidated  statement of earnings of MGI properties
after adjusting for the impact of the sales of the properties  described in Item
2 and Item 5 of the Form 8-K. The pro forma  consolidated  statement of earnings
assumes that the disposition of the properties  occurred on December 1, 1997 but
does not reflect the impact of sale proceeds or the gain on sale in statement of
earnings for the twelve months ended November 30, 1998.

(A)     The reduction in rental income, property operating expenses, real estate
        taxes and depreciation  and  amortization  reflects the actual operating
        results for the twelve months ended November 30, 1998 for the properties
        sold.
(B)     The decrease in interest  expense reflects the decrease in debt that was
        secured by the  properties  sold.  In  addition,  to the extent that the
        Trust's line of credit was used to finance the  acquisition  of the sold
        properties, interest charges associated with the line have been removed.
(C)     The  increase  to general  and  administrative  expense  represents  the
        Trust's cost of rent had its business operations not been located in one
        of the sold properties.
(D)     The decrease in  liquidation  plan expenses is an estimate of the costs,
        primarily  employee severance and professional fees, that would not have
        been  incurred had the Trust not employed the  individuals  that managed
        the sold properties and if the Trust's portfolio of properties consisted
        of only the thirteen remaining unsold properties.


Note 2

The  accompanying pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet as of February 28, 1999
assumes the  disposition of the properties as if they occurred on February,  28,
1999,  but does not reflect  sale  proceeds,  the gain on sale or the  announced
distribution  of $19 per  share.  The pro forma  information  is based  upon the
historical  statements  of the Trust  after  giving  effect to the sale of these
properties.

(E)     The  adjustment  to  properties  held for sale reflects the net carrying
        value of the sold properties as of February 28, 1999.
(F)     The adjustment to cash and cash equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  and
        other  liabilities  represent  the carrying  value of  operating  assets
        associated with the properties sold.
(G)     The  adjustment in other assets  represents  capitalized  deferred costs
        such as leasing  commissions and financing fees associated with the sold
        properties.
(H)     The  adjustment  to loans  payable  reflects the secured  mortgage  debt
        associated  with the sold  properties  and the  repayment of the Trust's
        line of credit.
(I)     The adjustments to  shareholders  equity reflect the Trust's equity on a
        historical cost basis for each of the properties sold.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 1, 1999


MGI  PROPERTIES  ("MGI")
SELLS  NEW  JERSEY  OFFICE  BUILDING


            BOSTON,  MASSACHUSETTS . . . . MGI Properties  (NYSE:MGI)  announced
that it has completed the sale of a New Jersey office  building for $18 million.
Following this sale, MGI owns 13 properties,  which aggregate 1.1 million square
feet of commercial space and 959 residential  apartments.  The 13 properties are
being actively marketed.

            The  current  estimate  of pricing  with  respect  to the  remaining
properties,  when added to the net proceeds of this and prior sales, is expected
to result in aggregate net liquidation proceeds of between $29 and $30 per share
after all fees and liquidation  costs;  however,  no assurance can be given that
per share net cash  distributions  will be within  this range or will reach this
range  and no  assurances  can be  made as to the  timing  of  future  remaining
distributions.

            As  previously  announced,  the Board of  Trustees  has  declared  a
liquidation  distribution  of  $19  per  share  payable  on  July  30,  1999  to
shareholders of record at the close of business on July 16, 1999.

            This Press Release contains  forward-looking  statements  within the
meaning of Section  27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking  statements are dependent
on a number of factors  which could cause  actual  results to differ  materially
from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking  statements. Such factors
include, among other things, the risks of future action or inaction by the Board
of Trustees  with  respect to the Plan of  Liquidation  (and the actual  results
thereof),  including the possibility of litigation  pertaining thereto;  the net
realizable  value  of and the  timing  of the  sales  of the  Trust's  remaining
properties  during  the  course of the  liquidation;  the  amount  and timing of
liquidating distributions,  changes in national and local economic and financial
market conditions, as well as those factors set forth in MGI's Form 10-K for the
year ended November 30, 1998,  including those set forth under  "Forward-Looking
Statements,"  "Other" and Item 1 - "Adoption  of  Liquidation  Plan," and in its
most recently filed Form 10-Q.
