Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's annual 1997 audited financial
statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all normal and
recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of
March 31, 1998 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the statement
of partner's capital (deficit) for the three months ended March
31, 1998.  Results of operations for the period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

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

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year
1997, and no material contingencies exist which would require
disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01,
Paragraph (a)(5).


Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The General Partners have commenced marketing the properties for
sale and are in the process of selecting real estate brokers to
assist in their marketing efforts.  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 $1,322,629
at March 31, 1998, compared to $1,273,014 at December 31, 1997.
The increase is primarily due to net cash provided by operating
activities exceeding net cash used for investing activities and
cash distributions.  The Partnership also had restricted cash,
which primarily consists of security deposits, of $219,199 at
March 31, 1998, largely unchanged from $222,883 at December 31,
1997.

Accounts and rent receivable totaled $142,770 at March 31, 1998,
compared to $80,601 at December 31, 1997.  The increase is mainly
due to the timing of rental payments.  Deferred rent receivable
totaled $115,243 at March 31, 1998, compared to $152,030 at
December 31, 1997.  The decrease is largely due to the
amortization of deferred rent associated with older leases at all
of the Partnership's properties.

Prepaid rent decreased to $0 at March 31, 1998, compared to
$58,937 at December 31, 1997 primarily due to the timing of
rental payments.

A cash distribution in the amount of $5.00 per Unit will be paid to the Limited
Partners on or about May 22, 1998.  This distribution will be funded from the
Partnership's first quarter operations and was declared after a review of the
Partnership's anticipated future cash needs and current cash position.  The
timing and amount of future cash distributions will be reviewed quarterly by
the General Partners.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's operations resulted in net income of $156,326,
compared to a net loss of $7,307 for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  The change from net loss to net income is primarily
attributable to higher rental income.

Rental income totaled $1,382,802 for the three months ended March
31, 1998, compared to $1,178,689 for the corresponding period a
year ago.  The increase is largely attributable to higher
occupancy at Quorum II Office Building, Metro Park Executive
Center and Three Financial Centre.  Interest income totaled
$17,937 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to
$18,654 a year ago.  The slight decrease is primarily
attributable to the Partnership's lower average cash balances in
1998.

Property operating expenses totaled $579,272 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, compared to $552,168 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  The increase is primarily due to higher
real estate taxes at Quorum II Office Building and Fort
Lauderdale Commerce Center.  Depreciation and amortization
totaled $547,152 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to $505,760 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
The increase is mainly due to building and tenant improvements
completed during 1997 and the first quarter of 1998.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 were $89,929, compared to $146,722 for the same
period in 1997.  The decrease is primarily due to lower
administrative, postage, printing, legal and professional
expenses.

As of March 31, 1998, lease levels at each of the Properties were
as follows:  Metro Park Executive Center - 86%;  Fort Lauderdale
Commerce Center - 86%;  Three Financial Centre - 94%; and Quorum
II Office Building - 94%.
