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
June 30, 1998 and the results of operations and cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and the statement of
partner's capital (deficit) for the six months ended June 30,
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.

The Partnership's real estate assets, deferred rent receivable
and prepaid leasing costs were reclassified on the consolidated
balance sheets at June 30, 1998 to "Real estate assets held for
disposition."  Accordingly, the Partnership has suspended
depreciation and amortization in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of."

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 selected real estate brokerage firms to
market the Partnership's properties for sale.  While the General
Partners currently anticipate that the properties will be sold
during 1998, there can be no assurance that the sales will occur
within this time frame.

In view of the anticipated sale of the properties in 1998, the
Partnership's real estate has been recorded on the Partnership's
June 30, 1998 balance sheet as "Real estate assets held for
disposition."  Real estate assets held for disposition at June
30, 1998 totaled $22,133,777.

The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,242,681
at June 30, 1998, compared to $1,273,014 at December 31, 1997.
The slight decrease is primarily due to net cash used for
investing and cash distributions exceeding net cash provided by
operating activities.  The Partnership also had restricted cash,
which primarily consists of security deposits, of $226,578 at
June 30, 1998, largely unchanged from $222,883 at December 31,
1997.

Accounts and rent receivable, net of allowance for doubtful
accounts, totaled $252,754 at June 30, 1998, compared to $80,601
at December 31, 1997.  The increase is mainly due to the timing
of rental receipts.  Deferred rent receivable totaled $0 at June
30, 1998, compared to $152,030 at December 31, 1997.  The
decrease is due to the amortization of deferred rent associated
with older leases at all of the Partnership's properties, and the
reclassification of certain deferred rents to "Real estate assets
held for disposition."

Prepaid leasing costs totaled $104,961 at June 30, 1998, compared to
$704,043 at December 31, 1997.  The decrease is due to prepaid leasing
costs in the amount of $628,865 reclassified to "Real estate assets
held for disposition."  The current balance primarily represents
prepaid insurance.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $624,444 at June
30, 1998, compared to $437,027 at December 31, 1997.  The
increase is largely due to the accrual of real estate taxes for
all four properties.  Due to affiliates decreased to $17,000 at
June 30, 1998, compared to $55,270 at December 31, 1997.  The
decrease reflects lower administrative reimbursement accruals
during the 1998 period.

Prepaid rent decreased to $0 at June 30, 1998, compared to
$58,937 at December 31, 1997 primarily due to the timing of
rental payments.

The Partnership will pay a cash distribution to Limited Partners
totaling $5.00 per Unit for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, on
or about August 20, 1998.  Since inception, the Partnership has
paid total cash distributions of $183.81 per original $500 Unit,
including $16.00 per Unit in return of capital payments which
have reduced the Unit size from $500 to $484.  In consideration
of the Partnership's marketing efforts and the need to fund
several capital improvements at the properties to better position
them for sale, future distributions may be reduced or suspended.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's operations resulted in net income of $104,354
and $260,680, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, compared to a net loss of $62,646 and $69,953 in
the corresponding 1997 periods.  The change from net loss to net
income is primarily attributable to higher rental income and
lower general and administrative fees, partially offset by higher
property operating expenses.

Rental income totaled $1,316,443 and $2,699,245 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to
$1,121,389 and $2,300,078 for the corresponding period a year
ago.  The increase is largely attributable to higher rental
income at Quorum II Office Building, the occupancy of which
increased on average for the quarter, although down at period
end.  Interest income totaled $17,404 and $35,341 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to
$20,776 and $39,430 a year ago.  The slight decrease is primarily
attributable to the Partnership's lower average cash balances in
1998.

Property operating expenses totaled $624,716 and $1,203,988 for
the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $575,366 and $1,127,534
for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997.  The increase is primarily due to higher real
estate tax expense at Quorum II Office Building and Fort
Lauderdale Commerce Center.  Depreciation and amortization
totaled $530,686 and $1,077,838 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $508,976 and
$1,014,736 for the comparable periods a year earlier.  The
increase is mainly due to building and tenant improvements
completed since June 30, 1997.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 totaled $65,468 and $155,397, respectively,
compared to $120,469 and $267,191 for the same periods in 1997.
The decrease is primarily due to lower management, appraisal,
postage and printing expenses.

As of June 30, 1998, lease levels at each of the Properties were
as follows:  Metro Park Executive Center - 79%;  Fort Lauderdale
Commerce Center - 86%;  Three Financial Centre - 95%; and Quorum
II Office Building - 94%.
