                                       PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates (the "Partnership" or
"Registrant") is a limited partnership which was formed on December 14, 1982,
pursuant to the Partnership Law of the State of New York.  The Partnership is
engaged in the business of acquiring, operating and holding real properties for
investment.  The Partnership acquired four properties during 1983 and continues
to operate one of them (Wendover Business Park-Phase I).

Commencing in January 1983 pursuant to the Prospectus, the Partnership offered
$11,500,000 in Limited Partnership Interests (the "Interests").  A total of
11,500 Interests were sold to the public at $1,000 per Interest. The offering
closed on February 10, 1983.  No Limited Partner has made any additional capital
contribution after that date.  The Limited Partners of the Partnership share in
the benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real property investments
according to the number of Interests held.  Partners holding 45 units abandoned
their Interests in 1994.

The Interests were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 via Registration
Statement No. 2-76434 (the "Registration Statement").  Reference is made to the
Prospectus of the Registrant dated November 2, 1982 (the "Prospectus") contained
in said Registration Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference
thereto.

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations included in "Item 6" of this Form
10-KSB.

The Partnership's remaining investment in real property is subject to
competition from similar properties in the vicinity in which it is located and
the Partnership is not a significant factor in its industry.

The terms of agreements between the Partnership and affiliates of the General
Partner of the Partnership are set forth in "Item 12" below to which reference
is hereby made for a description of such terms.

All of the outstanding stock of the General Partner is owned by the Wynnewood
Company, Inc. ("Wynnewood"), a corporation which is owned by the principal
operating officer of the General Partner.

The Partnership had no employees as of December 31, 1996.  Management and
administrative services are performed by Wynnewood, the General Partner and by
IFGP Corporation ("Insignia") and affiliates.  Pursuant to a management
agreement between them, affiliates of Insignia provide property management
services, partnership administration, and registrar and transfer services to the
Partnership.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

On June 29, 1983, the Partnership acquired, and currently owns and operates,
Wendover Business Park-Phase I ("Wendover") (approximately 68,000 square feet)
located in Greensboro, North Carolina.  The Business Park was acquired for
$2,820,000 of which $1,410,000 was paid in cash and $1,410,000 was paid in the
form of a $1,110,000 senior purchase money note and a $300,000 junior purchase
money note.  In July of 1993, the junior note was paid in full.  A new mortgage
in the amount of $1,350,000 was executed in January of 1994.  The proceeds from
the new mortgage were used to pay off the original senior note.  The principal
balance of the current mortgage at December 31, 1996, is $1,262,860. The
mortgage matures February 1, 2001, and is being amortized over twenty years with
an interest rate of 8%.  The balloon payment due at maturity is $1,097,022.
Further details of the mortgage are disclosed in "Item 7, Note 3".

Depreciation of building and improvements is computed on straight-line and
accelerated methods over estimated service lives ranging from three to thirty
years. Wendover Business Park I had a gross carrying value of $3,072,518 at
December 31, 1996, with accumulated depreciation of $1,327,206 for a net book
value of $1,745,312.  The federal tax basis at December 31, 1996, of the
property is $702,499.

Average annual rental rates per square foot and average annual occupancy for
1996 and 1995 for Wendover were:


                           Average Annual   Average Annual
                             Rental Rate       Occupancy

           1996             $ 5.23/sq.ft.         88%
           1995             $ 5.23/sq.ft.         92%

    
As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is
highly competitive and Wendover is subject to competition from other commercial
buildings in the area.  Management believes the property is adequately insured.


The following is a schedule of the lease expirations for the years 1997 - 2006:

were $37,666.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership is not a party to, nor is its property subject to, any material
pending legal proceedings.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during 1996.

                                      PART II


ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP EQUITY AND RELATED PARTNER MATTERS

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership included approximately 1,002 limited
partners, holding a total of 11,455 Interests.  During 1994, the number of
Partnership Interests decreased by 45 Interests due to limited partners
abandoning their Interests.  In abandoning his or her Partnership Interests, a
limited partner relinquishes all rights, title and interest in the Partnership
as of the date of abandonment.  No public trading market has developed for
Interests and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the
future.

Cash distributions were made quarterly from July 1983, until October 1987, after
which they were suspended.  In December 1995, the General Partner approved a
cash distribution to the Limited Partners in the amount of $114,550 ($10 per
Interest) to be paid in February 1996.  A similar distribution was declared in
December 1994 and paid to Limited Partners in February 1995.  No distribution
was declared for 1996. As of December 31, 1996, the remaining unpaid preferred
return arrearage totaled $8,021,274 or approximately $700 per Interest.
Reference is made to "Item 6" for a description of liquidity and capital
resources.


ITEM 6.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership realized a net loss of
$10,697 compared to a net loss of $16,349 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The decrease in net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996, was primarily
attributable to an increase in rental revenue.  Rental revenue increased due to
the collection of approximately $34,000 in lease termination fees resulting from
the early lease termination by a tenant.

On January 13, 1994, the Wendover property was refinanced for $1,350,000.  Under
the terms of the new mortgage, Wendover was required to maintain an escrow
account for tenant improvements and leasing commissions for two years.  In
January 1996, approximately $95,000 was returned to the property from the
mortgage company as the terms of the agreement expired.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash of $255,520.  The present cash
reserves of the Partnership are believed to be sufficient to meet the
foreseeable needs of the Partnership.

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's remaining property was approximately 85%
leased.  A new tenant has taken possession of approximately 14,000 sq. ft.
Tenant improvements and leasing commissions in connection with this lease were
substantial and were funded from a combination of existing cash reserves and
rental concessions to the new tenant.  These concessions will expire during
March 1997.  Two other tenants occupying approximately 3,510 and 2,580 sq. ft.,
respectively, have leases expiring in April 1997.  Both tenants are expected to
renew their leases.

Management is presently studying a proposed capital improvement program which
envisions significant expenditures to be made for roof and parking lot repairs.
The total costs involved are estimated at $60,000 and will most likely be
performed over the next eighteen months once final bids are obtained and
approved.  Remaining cash balances, along with projected cash flows, are
believed to be sufficient to meet estimated capital expenditures and any tenant
improvements and leasing commissions in connection with new leasing.

INFLATION

Inflation in the future may increase rental revenues as well as operating
expenses, all subject to general market trends.  Certain Wendover leases provide
for rent increases based upon the Consumer Price Index.

To the Partners
Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real

statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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
management, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real

Note 1 - Organization

Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates ("Partnership") was organized as a
limited partnership under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a
Certificate of Limited Partnership dated December 14, 1982.  The general partner
of the Partnership, DBL Properties Corporation ("General Partner"), is owned by
The Wynnewood Company, Inc. ("Wynnewood").

The Partnership owns and operates the Wendover Business Park - Phase I
("Wendover"), an office/warehouse complex, containing 67,982 square feet of
office/warehouse space on 3.776 acres in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Note 2 - Significant accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its
operating division, Wendover.

Estimates

The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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.

Long-lived assets

Management evaluates the Partnership's long-lived assets, comprising its
investment in real property, for impairment based on the recoverability of its
carrying amount. When it is probable that undiscounted cash flows will not be
sufficient to recover the carrying amount, the asset will be written down to its
fair value.  No such write-down was required in 1996 or 1995.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and mortgage payable represent financial
instruments as defined by "Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments".  The carrying values of
these financial instruments are reasonable approximations of fair value.

Depreciation

Depreciation of the Wendover building and improvements is computed on straight-
line and accelerated methods over estimated service lives ranging from three to
thirty years.

Deferred costs

Deferred leasing costs are shown net of accumulated amortization of $18,215 and
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms.
Deferred mortgage costs are shown net of accumulated amortization of $26,466 and
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the mortgage.

Revenue recognition

The straight-line basis is used to recognize minimum rental income under leases
which provide for varying rents over their terms.

Income taxes

No provision has been made for income taxes since such taxes, if any, are
payable by the partners individually.

Cash flows

For purposes of financial reporting, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on
hand and in banks, including money market funds, and certificates of deposit
with original maturities of three months or less.

Noncash investing and financing activities

In December 1995, the Partnership approved a cash distribution to Limited
Partners in the amount of $114,550 ($10 per unit) to be paid in February 1996.
A similar distribution was declared in December 1994 and paid in February 1995.

During 1996, the Partnership agreed to reimburse $104,535 to one of the Wendover
commercial tenants for improvements made to commercial space and paid for by the
tenant.  The agreement provides that one-half would be paid in January 1997 and
the balance in the form of rental abatements commencing September 1996.  At
December 31, 1996, $21,888 of the abatement amount remained to be applied
against future rent.

Concentration of credit risk

Substantially all of the Partnership's cash deposits are with one bank and
consist of demand deposits, certificates of deposit and money market accounts.
The Partnership has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits.


Note 3 - Mortgage payable

The Wendover mortgage payable matures on February 1, 2001, and requires monthly
payments of $11,292 to be applied first to interest at the rate of 8% per annum
and the balance to reduction of principal.  In addition, the mortgage provides
that monthly escrow deposits be made for payments of real estate taxes and
insurance.  At December 31, 1996, the balance in the escrow account amounted to
$10,525.

The following is a schedule by years of future amortization payments required by
the mortgage:

                  Year Ending
                 December 31,

                     1997                   $   35,767
                     1998                       38,736
                     1999                       41,951
                     2000                       45,433
                     2001 (maturity)         1,100,973
                               Total        $1,262,860

Note 4 - Partners' equity

Pursuant to a public offering, 11,500 limited partnership units were sold at
$1,000 per interest.  Partners holding 45 units abandoned their Partnership
interests in 1994, accordingly, calculations of net income (loss) per limited
partner interest in 1996 and 1995 are based on 11,455 interests outstanding.

For income tax purposes, the limited partners share 99% and the General Partner
1% (subordinated as defined in the partnership agreement) in all profits or
losses from operations until the limited partners have received an 8% cumulative
preferred return on their invested capital.  Thereafter, the limited partners
share 90% and the General Partner shares 10% in the profits or losses from
operations.

Cash distributions from sales or refinancings, if any, shall be made to the
partners to the extent available and, as more fully described in the partnership
agreement, as follows: first, to each partner in an amount equivalent to the
positive amount of such partner's capital account on the date of distribution
after adjustment; second, to the limited partners, until the limited partners
have received an amount equal to their original invested capital; third, 99% to
the limited partners equal to any unpaid preferred return arrearage; and fourth,
as to any excess, 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partner.

Distributions in liquidation to the partners shall be made in accordance with
the terms of the preceding two paragraphs, as appropriate.

In December 1995, the Partnership approved a cash distribution to Limited
Partners in the amount of $114,550 ($10 per unit) which was paid in February
1996.  No distributions were made or accrued to the General Partner, since the
Limited Partners must receive their original invested capital plus any preferred
return arrearage before payment to the General Partner.  As of December 31,
1996, the unpaid preferred return arrearage totaled $8,021,274.


Note 5 - Commitments

Leases

The Partnership leases office and warehouse space in the Wendover property to
tenants under lease agreements which expire on various dates through 2002. The
following is a schedule by year of the minimum future rentals, excluding
escalations, required under these leases as of December 31, 1996:

                         Year Ended
                         December 31,

                            1997                  $   307,274
                            1998                      289,875
                            1999                      220,181
                            2000                      119,835
                            2001                       88,153
                            2002                       16,639
                                    Total         $ 1,041,957

Two tenants of Wendover individually accounted for 12% and 13% of total revenue
for the year ended December 31, 1996.


Management agreements

The Partnership has entered into an agreement with IFGP Corporation (Insignia)
which provides for Insignia to perform certain management and administrative
duties for the Partnership.  Fees paid to Insignia amounted to $21,726 in each
of the years 1996 and 1995.

The Partnership has also engaged Insignia to manage the Wendover property under
an agreement which provides for fees equal to 5% of monthly gross revenue.
Insignia has assigned a portion of its fees to Wynnewood, an affiliated entity.
Management fees earned by Wynnewood during 1996 and 1995 amounted to $6,511 and
$6,295, respectively.


Note 6 - Reconciliation of financial and tax net (loss)

The following is a reconciliation of the Partnership's net (loss) for financial
and tax reporting purposes:

                                                  Years Ended
                                                  December 31,

       Tax net (loss)                       $ (13,757)   $ (119,873)



ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
         FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no changes in or disagreements with the accountants on any
matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.


                                   PART III


ITEM 9.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS,
         COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Effective February 3, 1993, the General Partner of the Partnership, DBL
Properties Corporation, a New York Corporation, became  a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Wynnewood Company, Inc. which is wholly-owned by William D.
Clements. Prior to that date, DBLR had been the sole stockholder of the General
Partner.  The General Partner has responsibility for all aspects of the
Partnership's operations.

The directors and executive officers of the General Partner are as follows:


              Name                                 Position


     William D. Clements         President, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary
                                 and Director

     Robert A. Gauthier          Vice President, Secretary and Director


WILLIAM D. CLEMENTS, age 57.  Mr. Clements has been President since February
1993 and was Vice President from 1990 until then.  He was Chairman of the Board
from 1989 to 1990, and was a Vice President in the Corporate Finance Department
of Drexel Burnham Lambert Incorporated from 1985-1990. Prior to that he was a
Senior Vice President of DBLR from 1983 and a Vice President from 1978.  He
received his BA degree from Siena College and his MBA from the Wharton Graduate
School of the University of Pennsylvania.

ROBERT A. GAUTHIER, age 43.  Mr. Gauthier has been Vice President and Secretary
of the General Partner since February 1993.  He is also Senior Vice President of
Operations of Capstar Hotels, a hotel management firm, since 1992.  Prior to
then, he was the manager of two hotels owned by DBL Airport Valley Limited
Partnership from 1987 to 1992.  He has spent his entire career in the hotel
industry after receiving a BA from California Polytechnical State University.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires any
person who owns more than ten percent of the outstanding limited partnership
interests and each of the officers and directors of the general partner, DBL
Properties Corporation, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the Partnership initial reports of ownership of limited partnership interests in
the Partnership within certain prescribed time periods (regardless of whether
the officers or directors of DBL Properties Corporation own any limited
partnership interests) and to file further reports within prescribed time
periods to report any change in such ownership.  To the Partnership's knowledge,
all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to officers and directors of
DBL Properties Corporation or to greater than ten percent owners of limited
partnership interests were complied with.


ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Officers and directors of the General Partner do not and will not receive any
direct compensation for services rendered by them in such capacities. Although
the Partnership is required to pay fees to the General Partner and/or its
affiliates upon property acquisition, for property management, and for real
estate commissions, and the General Partner is also entitled to receive cash
distributions from the operation and liquidation of the Partnership, no such
fees, payments or distributions were made to the General Partner in 1996.
Certain payments, including payments for management fees, were paid to
affiliates of the General Partner in 1996, as described under "Item 12" hereto.
As of January 1, 1992, the Partnership engaged IFGP Corporation and certain
affiliates to provide management and administration services to the Partnership.
For a complete description of Management Compensation, see the discussion under
the caption, "Management Compensation" in the Prospectus, which discussion is
hereby incorporated by reference.  The General Partner of the Partnership may be
reimbursed for its direct expenses relating to the offering, the administration
and the operations of the Partnership's real property investments.  For a
further discussion of expenses incurred with related parties and with
management, see "Note 5" to the Financial Statements which is included in "Item
7" above, to which reference is hereby made.


ITEM 11.   SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

At March 15 1997, no person or group is known to own more than 5% of the
outstanding Interests of the Partnership.

No officer or director of the General Partner of the Partnership owns any
limited partnership Interests, nor do they possess a right to acquire beneficial
ownership of Interests except for Mr. William D. Clements who owns 30
partnership Interests.

The General Partner of the Partnership, DBL Properties Corporation, became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Wynnewood Company, Inc. in February 1993, which
is in turn a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. William D. Clements.
