Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's annual 1996 audited financial
statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
normal and reoccurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of June 30, 1997 and the results of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
statement of partner's capital (deficit) for the six months ended
June 30, 1997.  Results of operations for the period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

Reclassification.  Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified in order to conform to the current year's
presentation.

The following significant events have occurred subsequent to
fiscal year 1996, or the following material contingencies exist
and require disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X,
Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5):

Effective as of January 1, 1997, the Partnership began
reimbursing certain expenses incurred by Real Estate Services
VII, Inc. and its affiliates in servicing the Partnership to the
extent permitted by the partnership agreement.  In prior years,
affiliates of the Real Estate Services VII, Inc. general partner
had voluntarily absorbed these expenses.
Part I, Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of
         Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The General Partners have decided to commence marketing efforts
to sell all four of the Partnership's properties.  Accordingly,
the Partnership intends to engage real estate brokers to assist
in its marketing efforts.  However, there can be no assurance as
to when the properties will be sold, or that any sale, if
completed, will result in a particular price.

The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,385,670
at June 30, 1997, compared with $1,228,502 at December 31, 1996.
The increase is primarily due to cash flows from operating
activities exceeding additions to real estate and cash
distributions.  The Partnership also had restricted cash, which
primarily consisted of security deposits, of $222,823 at June 30,
1997, largely unchanged from
December 31, 1996.

Accounts and rent receivable totaled $56,128 at June 30, 1997,
compared to $40,090 at December 31, 1996.  The increase is primarily
due to past due rents from tenants at Fort Lauderdale Commerce Center.
Deferred rent receivable totaled $125,952 at June 30, 1997, compared
to $205,718 at December 31, 1996.  The decrease is largely due to the
amortization of deferred rent associated with older leases at all of
the Partnership's properties.  Prepaid leasing costs and other assets
totaled $641,105 at June 30, 1997, compared to $563,611 at
December 31, 1996.  The increase is largely due to prepayment of
insurance premiums.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $439,197 at June
30, 1997, compared with $249,517 at December 31, 1996.  The
increase is largely due to the timing of payments of real estate
taxes.  Due to affiliates increased to $37,380 at June 30, 1997,
from $5,941 at December 31, 1996, primarily reflecting the
reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in servicing the
Partnership, as described below under "Results of Operations."

The Partnership's second quarter cash distribution, in the amount
of $3.00 per Unit, will be paid to limited partners on or about
August 22, 1997 and will be funded from Partnership operations.
In light of the decision to begin marketing all four properties,
the Partnership may need to make capital improvements to better
position the properties for sale.  In order to fund these
improvements and maintain adequate cash reserves, it may be
necessary to suspend distributions in the future.  It is
important to note, however, that as the properties are sold, the
sales proceeds will be distributed to the partners.

As of June 30, 1997, lease levels at each of the Properties were
as follows:  Metro Park Executive Center - 83%;  Fort Lauderdale
Commerce Center - 93%;  Three Financial Centre - 92%; and Quorum
II Office Building - 94%.

Results of Operations

Rental income totaled $1,121,389 and $2,300,078 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared with
$1,297,464 and $2,673,241 for the comparable periods a year
earlier.  The decreases are largely attributable to lower
occupancy at Quorum II Office Building.  Interest income totaled
$20,776 and $39,430 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997, respectively, compared with $2,426 and $29,966 for the
comparable periods a year earlier.  The increases are primarily
due to the Partnership's higher average cash balances in 1997.

Property operating expenses totaled $575,366 and $1,127,534 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
largely unchanged from $567,258 and $1,179,724 for the comparable
1996 periods.  Depreciation and amortization declined to $508,976
and $1,014,736 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, largely unchanged from $526,193 and $1,038,499 for
the comparable periods in 1996.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, were $120,469 and $267,191, respectively,
compared with $70,941 and $141,042 for the same periods in 1996.
During the 1997 period, certain expenses incurred by Real Estate
Services VII, Inc., its affiliates, and an unaffiliated third
party service provider in servicing the Partnership, which were
voluntarily absorbed by affiliates of Real Estate Services VII,
Inc. in prior periods, were reimbursable to Real Estate Services
VII, Inc. and its affiliates.
