                             (UNAUDITED)


     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994
which are included in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.


(1)  BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     For financial reporting purposes, effective January 1, 1995, the
mortgage loan secured by the Spring Hill Fashion Center has been determined
to have been in-substance foreclosed and has been reclassified as an
investment in a consolidated joint venture in real estate at its estimated
fair value (note 2(d)).  The effect of all transactions between the
Partnership and its 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 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").  Such
adjustments are not recorded on the records of the Partnership.  The net
effect of these items is summarized as follows for the three months ended
March 31:

     The net earnings per limited partnership interest ("Interest") is

(39,695).

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95 requires the
Partnership to present a statement which classifies cash 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 pronounce-
ment.  In addition, the Partnership records amounts held in U.S. government
obligations at cost, which approximates market.  For the purposes of these
statements,  the  Partnership's  policy  is to consider all such amounts
held with original maturities of three months or less ($1,586,187 at March
31, 1995 and $759,979 at December 31, 1994) as cash equivalents, with any
remaining amounts (generally with original maturities of one year or less)
reflected as short-term investments being held to maturity.

                      AND CONSOLIDATED VENTURE

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


     The Partnership's participating first mortgage loan investments
provide for the following components of interest: basic interest which is
payable monthly;  simple accrued interest which is payable upon loan
prepayment or at maturity; additional participation interest, payable no
less frequently than annually, in annual gross receipts (as defined) of the

respective properties in excess of specified amounts, and additional
participation interest in subsequent increases in the market values of the
respective properties in excess of specified amounts, payable at the
respective properties' sale or at maturity.

     Basic and simple accrued interest income on mortgage notes receivable
was being recognized using the interest method which results in a level
effective yield on the outstanding principal balance.  Effective October 1,
1989, the Partnership  recognized interest income only as collected on the
mortgage loan secured by the Oak Court of Westmont Shopping Center (note
2(c)).  Effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership elected to early adopt
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS #114") which became effective
January, 1994.  SFAS #114 provides that the impairment on a collateralized
loan that is considered impaired (as defined) will be recognized by
creating a valuation allowance to the recorded balance of the loan to yield
a net carrying amount of the loan which is equal to the fair value of the
loan collateral.  The Partnership has elected to recognize subsequent
changes in the fair value of the collateral as adjustments to this
valuation allowance, as discussed in note 2.  Further, effective January 1,
1993, for financial reporting purposes, the carrying amount of the loan
secured by the Oak Court of Westmont Shopping Center is being reduced by
any payments received from the borrower.  Effective December 1, 1991, the
Partnership, for financial reporting purposes, suspended the accrual of the
simple accrued interest receivable (which is payable at maturity) on the
mortgage loan secured by the Spring Hill Fashion Center (note 2(d)). 
Participation interest in increases in the market value of the respective
properties in excess of specified amounts is recognized as income when
received by the Partnership.

Statements contained in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report for a
description of the terms of this loan and for a description of the events
resulting in the Partnership obtaining legal title to this property in
November 1989.  Reference is also made to note 3(a) for a description of
the sale of this property in August 1994.

     Due to the Partnership's inability to recover the net carrying value
of the property in contemplation of the aforementioned sale, the
Partnership, for financial reporting purposes, made a provision for value
impairment of the property of $325,000 in June 1994.

     (b)  Ocean Technology Park Office Building

     Reference is made to Notes 2(b) and 4(c) of Notes to Financial
Statements contained in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report for a
description of the terms of this loan and for a description of the events
resulting in the Partnership obtaining legal title to this property in
December 1990.  Reference is also made to note 3(b) for a description of
the sale of this property in December 1994.  To the extent that the amounts

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


the borrower owed the Partnership (including the delinquent amounts
referred to in Note 4(c) of Notes to Financial Statements contained in the
Partnership's 1994 Annual Report) exceeded the fair market value of the
property, the Partnership pursued enforcement of the guaranty from the
general partners of the borrower.

     In September 1991, the Partnership obtained a judgment in the amount 
of approximately $1,679,000 against the general partners of the borrower. 
In 1992, one of the three general partners of the borrower filed for
protection under Chapter VII of the bankruptcy laws.  The bankruptcy court
subsequently notified the Partnership that the debtor had no assets to
satisfy the judgment and that the bankruptcy claims have been discharged.  
Effective January 1, 1993, settlement agreements were reached between the
Partnership and the two other general partners ("guarantors") of the
borrower.  Pursuant to one of the settlement agreements, a promissory note
for $125,000 was issued by one of the guarantors to the Partnership. 
Accordingly, the Partnership recognized $125,000 as settlement income in
1993.  The note provides for annual principal payments (to be made not less
frequently than monthly) to the Partnership totaling $25,000 in the year
commencing April 1, 1993 and ending March 31, 1994, $30,000 in the year
ending March 31, 1995, and $35,000 in each of the final two years ending
March 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.  The aforementioned scheduled
principal payments are subject to earlier payment under certain
circumstances.  The note provides for prepayment in whole or in part at any
time without penalty.  This guarantor was current in his monthly payments
to the Partnership through August 31, 1994. The Partnership has not
received monthly and quarterly payments totaling $14,000 which were due as
of December 31, 1994 and has not received the 1995 monthly and quarterly
payments totaling $9,000 as of the date of this report.  The Partnership
has contacted the guarantor regarding these delinquent amounts.

     Pursuant to the other settlement agreement, a promissory note for
$300,000 (subject to reduction to $125,000 if no default has occurred) was
issued by the other guarantor to the Partnership.  The note provides for
monthly principal payments totaling $15,000 in calendar year 1994, $20,000
in 1995, $25,000 in 1996, and $65,000 in calendar year 1997.  The note also
provides for simple annual accrued interest of 5% in calendar years 1993
and 1994, 6% in 1995, and 7% in calendar years 1996 and 1997, all such
accrued interest payable on December 31, 1997.  The aforementioned
scheduled principal payments are subject to earlier payment under certain
circumstances.  The note provides for prepayment in whole or in part any
time without penalty.  The guarantor in this settlement agreement has not
made any payments (which were to commence January, 1994) as of the date of
this report, and the Partnership has sent a default notice to the
guarantor. As a matter of prudent accounting practice, the Partnership is
recognizing income from this settlement only as collected.

     Due to the uncertainty of the Partnership's ability to recover the net
carrying value of the property through future operations and sale of the
property, the Partnership, as a matter of prudent accounting practice and
for financial reporting purposes, made provisions for value impairment of
the property of $1,600,000 in 1991 and $1,080,000 in 1993, such provisions
totaling $2,680,000.  Such provisions were recorded to reduce the net basis
of the investment property to its then estimated recoverable value.

     (c)  Oak Court of Westmont Shopping Center, Westmont, Illinois

     Reference is made to Note 4(b) of Notes to Financial Statements
contained in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report for a description of the
terms of this loan.

     Approximately $1,337,000 of interest due to the Partnership through
March 31, 1995 was uncollected as of the date of this report.  Of this
uncollected amount, approximately $92,500 represents basic interest due for
the three months ended March 31, 1995. For financial reporting purposes,
the carrying amount of this loan has been reduced by $40,000 in 1995, such
amount representing payments received from the borrower in 1995 (see note
1).  For the period October 1, 1989 to December 31, 1992, the Partnership 
recognized interest income only as collected.  The borrower continues to
negotiate with the Partnership concerning the unpaid amounts.

     Occupancy at the shopping center was 58% at March 31, 1995 as a result
of the move out of a tenant which occupied approximately 24% of the
leasable space at the property and whose current lease was scheduled to
expire November 30, 1996.  Due to the competitive conditions in this
market, re-leasing time and expense could be substantial to replace this
tenant.  The borrower continues to pursue additional tenants for the
shopping center, but the market remains very competitive.  Due to the
property's continuing high levels of vacancy, the borrower has made only
partial interest payments since July, 1989 to the extent of cash generated
by the property.   The manager of the property, an affiliate of the
borrower, is currently deferring a portion of its management fees in order
to increase the cash flow available to the Partnership.  Due to the
aforementioned vacancy level of the property and the current competitive
market conditions, the borrower was unable to either sell the property or
to obtain replacement long-term financing in order to repay the loan on its
scheduled maturity date of January 14, 1995.  The Partnership is working
closely with the borrower in an effort to lease up the vacant space at the
property and to make the property marketable.  Accordingly, the Partnership
has classified this mortgage note receivable as a noncurrent asset in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     Due to the uncertainty of the realization of the simple accrued
interest recognized through September 30, 1989 (approximately $458,000) and
the principal balance of the loan ($2,845,000), the Partnership, as a
matter of prudent accounting practice and to reflect the estimated fair
value of the collateral, has, for financial reporting purposes, provided
for a provision for loan loss of $368,000 in 1990, $458,000 in 1991 and
$777,000 in 1992, bringing the total provision for loan loss on this loan
to $1,603,000, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.  No further provisions for loan loss have been deemed necessary in
1995.

     (d)  Spring Hill Fashion Center, West Dundee, Illinois

     Reference is made to Note 4(d) of Notes to Financial Statements
contained in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report for a description of the
terms of this loan.  Through October 1988, the total amount funded under
this loan was $10,030,000 (of which the Partnership's share was $6,063,135
(60.45%)).  The other two participating lenders are JMB Mortgage Partners,
Ltd.-II and JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-III, both of which are affiliates
of the General Partners of the Partnership.  As additional security for the
first mortgage loan, the borrower delivered to the lenders, in January
1988, two $250,000 irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit (which
were to expire December 31, 1994 and January 15, 1995, respectively), upon

which the lenders could draw in the event a default occurred under the
loan.  The aforementioned letters of credit had been subject to yearly
renewal if certain specified net operating income levels at the property
were not achieved by the borrower.

     Due to the uncertainty of the realization of the simple accrued
interest recognized through November 30, 1991 (approximately $902,000) and
the principal balance of the loan ($6,063,135), the Partnership, as a
matter of prudent accounting practice and to reflect the estimated fair
value of the collateral, had, for financial reporting purposes suspended
the accrual of the simple accrued interest (which is payable at maturity)
effective December 1, 1991 and made provisions for loan loss of $523,000 in
1992, $320,000 in 1993 and $159,000 in 1994, bringing the total provision
for loan loss on this loan to $1,002,000, which is reflected in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994.

     The borrower defaulted in its scheduled basic interest payments due
under this loan during the fourth quarter of 1994.  Consequently, the
lenders (including the Partnership) drew on the above-mentioned letters of
credit totaling $500,000 in late December, 1994.  An affiliate of the
lenders took control of the property's funds in January, 1995 and is
currently managing the property under an agreement which provides for a fee
equal to 4% of the property's gross receipts (such fee excluding
compensation for leasing activity).  In early May 1995, the lenders
obtained legal title to the property in lieu of foreclosure.  Effective as
of the management takeover date (January 1, 1995), the Partnership
considered the mortgage loan to be in-substance foreclosed and has
accounted for its investment as an investment in a consolidated joint
venture.  For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership will not
recognize any material gain or loss from this transaction as a result of
the Partnership's previously recorded provisions for loan loss.  For
federal income tax reporting purposes, the Partnership expects to recognize
a loss of approximately $1,405,000 in 1995 as a result of this transaction.

The operations of this property are expected to provide a current return
which would be less than the scheduled interest payments due under the
original mortgage loan.

     Occupancy at the shopping center was 94% at March 31, 1995, unchanged
from December 31, 1994.  However, a major tenant, which occupies
approximately 24% of the leasable space at the property and who is
currently operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection has informed the
Partnership that it does not intend to exercise its renewal option when its
current lease expires in October 1995.  Due to the competitive conditions
in this market, re-leasing time and expense could be substantial when this
tenant vacates, which will further reduce cash flow from this investment to
the Partnership in the short term.


(3)  SALES OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

     (a)  Pineapple Place Apartments

     In May 1994, the Partnership reached an agreement in principle with a
potential purchaser regarding the sale of the Pineapple Place Apartments
and in August 1994 this sale was consummated.  The sale price was
$7,535,000 which was paid in cash at closing, net of selling expenses and
prorations.  The sale resulted in a gain of $75,734 for financial reporting
purposes due primarily to the $325,000 provision for value impairment
recognized by the Partnership in June 1994 in contemplation of this sale
(as discussed in note 2(a)).  In addition, the Partnership reported a loss
on sale of approximately $570,000 for federal income tax reporting purposes

in 1994.  The Partnership distributed $180 per Interest to the Limited
Partners in 1994 from the proceeds of this sale.  The General Partners have
deferred their share of distributions from the proceeds of this sale at
this time.

     (b)  Ocean Technology Park Office Building

     In December 1994, the Partnership sold the Ocean Technology Park
Office Building  for a sale price of $750,000, all of which was paid in
cash at closing (net of selling expenses and prorations).  The sale
resulted in a gain of $699,899 for financial reporting purposes due
primarily to the provisions for value impairment recorded in 1991 and 1993
totaling $2,680,000, as discussed in note 2(b).  In addition, the
Partnership reported a loss of approximately $2,083,000 for federal income
tax reporting purposes in 1994.  The Partnership distributed $20 per
Interest to the Limited Partners in 1995 from the proceeds of this sale. 
The General Partners have deferred their share of distributions from the
proceeds of this sale at this time.


(4)  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Fees and other expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the
General Partners and their affiliates as of March 31, 1995 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

                                 =======     ======        =====   

     The Corporate General Partner and its affiliates are entitled to
reimbursement for salaries and direct expenses of officers and employees of
the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates while directly engaged in
the administration of the Partnership.  Such reimbursable costs for 1995
were $17,299, of which $10,035 was unpaid at March 31, 1995.

     The Partnership is obligated to pay (not more often than monthly)
mortgage investment servicing fees to the General Partners at an annual
rate of  1% of the amount funded by the Partnership on mortgage
investments.  The servicing fee is calculated from the date the Partnership
funds the mortgage investment.  Payment of one-half of the fee is
subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners of a stipulated rate of
return on their current capital accounts.  Such total cumulative unpaid
fees, which previously had generally been deferred but which are currently
being paid to the extent of the unsubordinated portion of such fees,
aggregated $923,543 at March 31, 1995, all of which has been accrued in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

                      AND CONSOLIDATED VENTURE

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONCLUDED


     Through November 1994, the Ocean Technology Park Office Building was
managed by an affiliate of the General Partners.  In December 1994, the
affiliated property manager sold substantially all of its assets and
assigned its interest in its management contracts to an unaffiliated third
party.  In addition, certain of the management personnel of the property
manager became management personnel for the purchaser and its affiliates. 
The successor to the affiliated property manager's assets continues to act
as the property manager of the Ocean Technology Park Office Building after
the property's December 16, 1994 sale on the same terms that existed prior
to the sale.

     The General Partners have also continued to defer payment of their
share of distributions of repayment proceeds amounting to $365,849,
resulting from the repayment in February 1987 of the loan secured by the
Lincoln Park Apartments and their share of sale proceeds amounting to
$245,536, resulting from the 1994 sales of the Pineapple Place Apartments
and the Ocean Technology Park Office Building.

     The aggregate amount of deferred payments to the General Partners at
March 31, 1995 in excess of that required by the Partnership Agreement is
equivalent to approximately $15 per Interest. All amounts deferred or
currently payable to the General Partners or their affiliates do not bear
interest.


     (5)  ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of March 31,
1995 and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.



PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     All references to "Notes" are to Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in this report.

     At March 31, 1995, the Partnership and its consolidated venture had
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,852,000.  Such funds and
short term investments of approximately $601,000 are available for
distributions to partners and for working capital requirements.  The
Partnership and its consolidated venture have currently budgeted
approximately $315,000 in 1995 for tenant improvements and other capital
expenditures at the Spring Hill Fashion Center (as discussed below and in
Note 2(d)).  Actual amounts expended in 1995 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.  Reference is made to Note 3(a) for a description of
the sale of the Pineapple Place Apartments in August 1994.  The Partnership
distributed $180 per Interest to the Limited Partners in 1994 from the
proceeds of this sale.  The General Partners have deferred their share of
distributions from the proceeds of this sale at this time.  Reference is
also made to Note 3(b) for a description of the sale of the Ocean
Technology Park Office Building in December 1994.  The Partnership
distributed $20 per Interest to the Limited Partners in 1995 from the
proceeds of this sale.  The General Partners have also deferred their share
of distributions from the proceeds of this sale at this time.  The General
Partners had been deferring mortgage investment servicing fees, their share
of the distributions of net cash flow and repayment proceeds and
reimbursement of various out-of-pocket expenses.  The aggregate amount of
deferred payments to the General Partners in excess of that required by the
Partnership Agreement at March 31, 1995 is equivalent to approximately $15
per Interest.  Reference is made to Note 4.

     The source of future short-term liquidity and distributions is
expected to be from the collection of interest on the Partnership's
participating first mortgage loan investment (which is payable interest
only).  Reference is made to Note 2(c).  The source of future long-term
liquidity would include the collection of principal on this participating
first mortgage loan investment.  Such collection of principal would depend
upon the borrower's ability to sell the property or to obtain replacement
long-term financing.  Given that real estate markets are generally
depressed, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will obtain full
repayment of its loan.  In addition, reference is made to Note 2(c)
concerning the delinquent interest amounts,  the recognition of interest
income and suspension of certain interest accruals and the provisions for
loan loss on the loan secured by the Oak Court of Westmont Shopping Center.

Occupancy at this shopping center was 58% at March 31, 1995 as a result of
the move out of a tenant which occupied approximately 24% of the leasable
space at the property and whose current lease was scheduled to expire
November 30, 1996.  Due to the competitive conditions in this market,
releasing time and expense could be substantial to replace this tenant. 
The borrower continues to pursue additional tenants for the shopping
center, but the market remains very competitive.  Due to the Oak Court of
Westmont property's continuing high levels of vacancy, the borrower has
made only partial interest payments since July 1989 to the extent of cash
generated by the property.  The borrower continues to negotiate with the
Partnership regarding such unpaid amounts.  The manager of the property, an
affiliate of the borrower, is currently deferring a portion of its
management fees in order to increase the cash flow available to the
Partnership.  Due to the aforementioned vacancy level at the Oak Court of
Westmont Shopping Center and the current competitive market conditions, the
borrower was unable to either sell the property or obtain replacement long-
term financing in order to repay the loan on its scheduled maturity date in
January 1995.  The Partnership is working closely with the borrower in an
effort to lease up the vacant space at the property and to make the
property marketable.  Accordingly, the Partnership has classified this
mortgage note receivable as a non-current asset in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.  Due to the uncertainty of the realization of
the simple accrued interest receivable recognized through September 30,
1989 (approximately $458,000) and the principal balance of the loan
($2,845,000), the Partnership, as a matter of prudent accounting practice
and to reflect the estimated fair value of the collateral, has, for
financial reporting purposes, provided for a provision for loan loss of
$368,000 in 1990, $458,000 in 1991 and $777,000 in 1992, bringing the total
provision for loan loss on this loan to $1,603,000, which is reflected in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  No further provisions for
loan loss have been deemed necessary in 1995.

     Further, reference is made to Note 2(d) regarding the suspension of
certain interest accruals and the provision for loan loss on the loan
secured by the Spring Hill Fashion Center.  Due to the uncertainty of the
realization of the simple accrued interest receivable recognized through
November 30, 1991 (approximately $902,000) and the principal balance of
this loan ($6,063,315), the Partnership, as a matter of prudent accounting
practice and to reflect the estimated fair value of the collateral, has,
for financial reporting purposes, suspended the accrual of the simple
accrued interest (which is payable at maturity) effective December 1, 1991
and has provided for provisions for loan loss of $523,000 in 1992 and
$320,000 in 1993 and $159,000 in 1994, bringing the total provision for
loan loss on this loan to $1,002,000, which is reflected in the
accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1994.  Reference is also made to
Note 2(d) regarding the default by the borrower of the loan secured by
Spring Hill Fashion Center, the drawing by the lenders (including the
Partnership) of the two $250,000 letters of credit additionally securing
this loan, and the January 1, 1995 assumption of property management at the
Spring Hill Fashion Center by an affiliate of the General Partners of the
lenders.  Effective as of the management takeover date (January 1, 1995),
the Partnership has considered the mortgage loan to be in-substance
foreclosed and has accounted for its investment as an investment in a
consolidated joint venture.  In early May 1995, the lenders obtained legal
title to the property in lieu of foreclosure.  For financial reporting
purposes, the Partnership will not recognize any material gain or loss from
this transaction as a result of the Partnership's previously recorded
provisions for loan loss.  For federal income tax reporting purposes, the
Partnership expects to recognize a loss of approximately $1,405,000 in 1995
as a result of this transaction.  The operations of this property are
expected to provide a current return which would be less than the scheduled
interest payments due under the original mortgage loan.  Occupancy at the
Spring Hill Fashion Center was 94% at March 31, 1995, unchanged from
December 31, 1994.  However, a major tenant, which occupies approximately
24% of the leasable space at the property and who is currently operating
under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, has informed the lenders (including
the Partnership) that it does not intend to exercise its renewal options
when its current lease expires in October 1995.  Due to the competitive
conditions in this market, releasing time and expense could be substantial
when this tenant vacates, which will further reduce cash flow from this
investment to the Partnership in the short term.

     An additional source of both future short-term and long-term liquidity
and distributions is expected to be from net cash generated by the Spring
Hill Fashion Center investment property and from the sale of such
investment.  Reference is made to Note 2(b) for a description of the
Partnership's settlements with certain guarantors of the previous loan
secured by the Ocean Technology Park Office Building.  The Partnership does
not consider the guarantors of this former loan to be a significant source
of future liquidity.

     The Partnership is carefully scrutinizing the appropriateness of any
discretionary expenditures, particularly in relation to the amount of
working capital it has available and the need to preserve funds for
potential future leasing costs (as discussed in Note 2(d)).  Reference is
made to Note 4 for a description of certain fees and payments, the receipt
of certain of which is being deferred by the General Partners of the
Partnership.  By conserving working capital, the Partnership will be in a
better position to meet its future needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Reference is made to Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements contained
in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report for a description of the
participating first mortgage loans funded by the Partnership.

     The combined decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments at March 31, 1995 as compared to December 31, 1994 is
attributable primarily to the Partnership's distribution of $20 per
Interest to the Limited Partners during the quarter from the proceeds of
the December 1994 sale of the Ocean Technology Park Office Building.

     The increase in investment properties, accrued real estate taxes,
tenant security deposits and venture partners' equity in venture, and the
decrease in mortgage notes receivable and deferred interest receivable at
March 31, 1995 as compared to December 31, 1994 is attributable to the
Partnership's recording as an investment in consolidated venture, effective
January 1, 1995, the mortgage loan secured  by the Spring Hill Fashion
Center.  Reference is made to Notes 1 and 2(d).  An additional decrease in
mortgage notes receivable at March 31, 1995 as compared to December 31,
1994 is the result of a $40,000 reduction in the carrying value of the loan
secured by the Oak Court of Westmont Shopping Center, such amount
representing payments received from the borrower in 1995.  Reference is
made to Notes 1 and 2(c).

     The decrease in amount due from affiliate at March 31, 1995 as
compared to December 31, 1994 is attributable to the Partnership's 1995
receipt of $302,250 from JMB Mortgage Partners, Ltd.-III, one of the other
two participating lenders, such amount representing the Partnership's share
of the drawn letters of credit (totaling $500,000) in December 1994 in
connection with the loan secured by the Spring Hill Fashion Center. 
Reference is made to Note 2(d).

     The decrease in bank overdraft at March 31, 1995 as compared to
December 31, 1994 is attributable to the Partnership's repayment in 1995 of
a temporary bank overdraft of approximately $297,000 which existed at
December 31, 1994, resulting primarily from the timing of the Partnership's
maturities of short-term investments.

     Rental income, depreciation and property operating expenses decreased
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1994 primarily as a result of the August 1994 sale of the
Pineapple Place Apartments and the December 1994 sale of the Ocean
Technology Park Office Building.  Reference is made to Note 3.  Such
decreases were partly offset as a result of the Partnership's recording of
the operations of the Spring Hill Fashion Center as an investment in
consolidated venture, effective January 1, 1995.  Reference is made to
Notes 1 and 2(d).

     The decrease in interest income for the three months ended March 31,
1995 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1994 is attributable
primarily to the Partnership's recording of the operations of the Spring
Hill Fashion Center as an investment in consolidated venture in 1995 as
compared to interest recognition on a loan in 1994.  Reference is made to
Notes 1 and 2(d).

     The increase in venture partner's share of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three months ended March 31,
1994 is attributable to the Partnership's recording of the operations of
the Spring Hill Fashion Center as an investment in consolidated venture in
1995.  Reference is made to Notes 1 and 2(d).
