Item 2.  Acquisition and Disposition of Assets

     Since the last Form 8-K filed by New Plan Realty Trust (the
"Company") dated November 17, 1993, as amended by Form 8-K/A
filed by the Company dated January 13, 1994, the Company has made
the following acquisitions:

     On December 16, 1993, the Company acquired a shopping
center, Wabash Crossing, from Wabash Partners.  The property is
located in Wabash, Indiana and consists of approximately 167,000
square feet of gross leasable area on approximately 18 acres. 
Wabash Crossing has space for ten tenants and is currently fully
occupied.  The major tenants are:  Kmart, Clark's Finer Foods and
Walgreens.

     On December 17, 1993, the Company acquired a garden
apartment complex, Hickory Lake Apartments, from McNeil Real
Estate Fund XXI LP.  The property is located in Nashville,
Tennessee and consists of 322 apartment units on approximately 26
acres.  Hickory Lake Apartments is currently 94% occupied.

     On January 6, 1994, the Company acquired a shopping center,
Stone Mill Plaza, from Travelers Insurance Company.  The property
is located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and consists of approx-
imately 91,000 square feet of gross leasable area on
approximately 21 acres.  Stone Mill Plaza has space for 23
tenants and is currently 96% occupied.  The major tenants are: 
Giant Foods and Rite Aid.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Statements and
Exhibits.

     (a) and (b)    Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired
                    and Pro Forma Financial Information.

     The aggregate purchase price of the three acquired
properties (collectively, the "Properties") described in Item 2
above was approximately $22 million, all of which was paid by the
Company in cash.  The purchase price of the Properties,
individually and in the aggregate, represents less than 10% of
the total unaudited assets of the Company.

     However, because the Properties when added to prior
unaudited acquisitions exceeds 10% of the unaudited assets of the
Company, included herewith are the following financial statements
reflecting the acquisition of the Properties.

1.   Report of Eichler, Bergsman, Belonsky & Guz, Independent
     Certified Public Accountants, dated February 3, 1994.

2.   Certain properties acquired  -  Historical summary of

                  INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
                  ----------------------------

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenues
and Certain Operating Expenses of Wabash Crossing, Hickory Lake
Apartments, and Stone Mill Plaza (the "Properties") for the year
ended July 31, 1993.  This Historical Summary is the
responsibility of New Plan Realty Trust's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this Historical
Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  These standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the Historical Summary.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Historical Summary has been prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and its use for any other purpose may be
inappropriate.  Accordingly, as described in the Note to the
Historical Summary, the statement excludes interest,
depreciation, and general and administrative expenses for the
period examined, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the properties' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above
represents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and
certain operating expenses (exclusive of interest, depreciation
and general and administrative expenses) in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   CERTAIN PROPERTIES ACQUIRED
  HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
                FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 1993


Rental Income                                 $2,791,929

     Repairs and maintenance        89,875
     Real estate taxes             304,593
     Certain operating expenses    640,718     1,035,186
                                   -------     ---------

Excess of revenues over
  certain operating expenses                  $1,756,743
                                               =========

NOTE:

The historical summary of revenues and certain operating expenses
relate to the operations of Wabash Crossing, Hickory Lake
Apartments, and Stone Mill Plaza (the "properties") while under
ownership previous to New Plan Realty Trust.  Wabash Crossing and
Stone Mill Plaza are shopping centers and Hickory Lake Apartments
is a residential apartment complex.  The accounts of Wabash
Crossing are for the twelve months ended December 31, 1993, its
normal business year and have been combined with the accounts of
the twelve months ending July 31, 1993 for the other properties.

The summary has been prepared on the accrual method of
accounting.  Operating expenses include maintenance and repair
expenses, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and certain
other expenses.  In accordance with the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, mortgage interest expense,
depreciation, and general and administrative costs have been
excluded from operating expenses, as they are dependent upon a
particular owner, purchase price or financial arrangement.

Minimum future rentals for years ended July 31, under existing
commercial operating leases at the shopping centers being
reported on are approximately as follows (in thousands):

     1994 -  $1,649      1997 -      $ 1,439
     1995 -   1,539      1998 -        1,358
     1996 -   1,505      thereafter - 18,170

The above assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed,
therefore neither renewal rentals nor rentals from replacement
tenants are included.

Minimum future rentals do not include contingent rentals which
may be received under certain leases on the basis of percentage
of reported tenants' sales volume, increases in Consumer Price
Indices, common area maintenance charges and real estate tax
reimbursements.

Part I    MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

     Management's assessment of the Properties prior to
acquisition includes, but is not limited to, the quality of the
tenant base, regional demographics, the competitive environment,
operating expenses and local property taxes.  In addition, the
physical aspect of the property, location, condition and quality
of design and construction are evaluated.  Management also always
conducts Phase I and II environmental tests.  All factors, when
viewed in their entirety, have met management's acquisition
criteria.  Management is not aware of any material factors
relating to the acquisition other than those discussed above.  

Part II   ESTIMATES OF NET INCOME AND FUNDS GENERATED FROM
          CERTAIN PROPERTIES ACQUIRED (UNAUDITED)

     The following presents an estimate of net income and funds
generated from the operation of the Properties for a twelve month
period based on the Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain
Operating Expenses for the Year Ended July 31, 1993 (attached). 
These estimated results do not purport to present expected
results of operations for the Properties in the future and were
prepared on the basis described in the accompanying notes which
should be read in conjunction herewith.

Operating income before depreciation and
  mortgage interest expense                   $1,757,000

                   CERTAIN PROPERTIES ACQUIRED
                           (UNAUDITED)

Basis of Presentation

     1.   Estimated depreciation was based upon an allocation of
          the purchase price to land (20%) and building (80%)
          with the depreciation being taken over a 40 year life
          using the straight line method.

     2.   No income taxes have been provided because New Plan
          Realty Trust is taxed as a real estate investment trust
          under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. 
          Accordingly, the Trust does not pay Federal income tax
          whenever income distributed to shareholders is equal to
          at least 95% of real estate investment trust taxable
          income and certain other conditions are met.

            PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                           (UNAUDITED)

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet at
October 31, 1993 reflects the acquisition of two shopping
centers, Wabash Crossing and Stone Mill Plaza, and a garden
apartment complex, Hickory Lake Apartments.

     The pro forma condensed statements of income for the year
ended July 31, 1993 and the three months ended October 31, 1993
assume the acquisition of these properties as if they had
occurred as of August 1, 1992 and 1993, respectively.  This pro
forma information is based on the historical statements of the
Trust after giving effect to the acquisition of these properties.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have
been prepared by New Plan Realty Trust management.  The unaudited
pro forma condensed statements of income may not be indicative of
the results  that would have actually occurred if the
acquisitions had been in effect on the dates indicated.  Also,
they may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved in
the future.  The unaudited pro forma condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction  with New Plan Realty
Trust's audited financial statements as of July 31, 1993 and for
the year then ended (which are contained in  the Trust's Form 10-
K for the year ended July 31, 1993) and the unaudited financial
statements as of October 31, 1993 and for the three months then
ended (which are contained in the Trust's Form 10-Q for the
period ended October 31, 1993) and the accompanying notes.

1.   Represents the acquisition of the Properties for cash.

2.   Amounts as reported have been adjusted by historical results
     for the year ended July 31, 1993.  These adjustments to the
     Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Income (Unaudited) have
     the effect of reflecting the results for the year ended July
     31, 1993 and the three months ended October 31, 1993 as if
     the Properties had been acquired as of August 1, 1992 and
     1993 respectively.  Pro forma adjustments to rental revenue
     includes increases in rent as if such increase occurred at
     the beginning of the period.

3.   The reduction in interest and dividend income is due to the
     actual use of cash and cash equivalents to pay the purchase
     price of the acquisitions.  The average rate of return for
     the year ended July 31, 1993 and the three months ended
     October 31, 1993 was 4.3% and 4.5% respectively.

4.   Estimated depreciation was based upon an allocation of the
     purchase price to land (20%) and building (80%) with the
     depreciation being taken over a 40 year life using the
     straight line method.

5.   Refer to Form 8 Amendment No. 1 dated October 6, 1993 and
     Form 8 Amendment No. 1 dated January 13, 1994 for previously
