will  be  required to change the method currently used to compute
earnings  per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under  the
new  requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of
Statement No. 128 on the calculation of primary and fully diluted
earnings  per  share  for these quarters is not  expected  to  be
material.

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

Financial Condition

Comments  are for the balance sheet dated June 30, 1997  compared
to the balance sheet dated December 31, 1996.

      In  1997,   Parkway  is continuing the application  of  the
Company's  strategy of aggressively acquiring  office  properties
and liquidating non-core assets.  During the first six months  of
1997,  the  Company purchased seven office properties,  sold  one
office  property located outside its geographical area of  focus,
and   sold   two   non-core  assets.   Total   assets   increased
$62,839,000,   and   office  properties   (before   depreciation)
increased $72,201,000 or 55%.

      Parkway's  direct investment in office buildings  and  land
held for development increased $72,680,000 net of depreciation to
a  carrying amount of $195,482,000 at June 30, 1997 and consisted
of  22  properties.  During the six months ending June 30,  1997,
Parkway   purchased  seven  office  properties  as  follows   (in
thousands):

                                             ========            

      In  connection  with  the Charlotte Park  Executive  Center
purchase,  the Company also purchased 17.64 acres of  development
land  in  the  same  office  park for  $1,721,000.   The  Company
currently has no plans to begin development on the site.

      Effective June 1, 1997, the Company increased its ownership
to  100%  in the One Jackson Place office building.  The  21.875%
minority   interest  was  purchased  for  $1,272,000   cash   and
assumption of the 21.875% pro rate share of the outstanding first
mortgage.

      On  June  1, 1997, the Company sold its investment  in  the
Cascade  III  office building in Columbus, Ohio and recognized  a
loss of $6,000 for financial reporting purposes with net proceeds
from  the  sale of $1,424,000.  With Parkway's primary  focus  in
office investments centered in the Southeastern United States and
Texas,  the  decision was made to sell Cascade  III  due  to  its
location.

     During the six months ending June 30, 1997, the Company also
capitalized   building  improvements  and   additional   purchase
expenses  of  $1,667,000  and recorded  depreciation  expense  of
$2,183,000.

      Parkway sold two non-core assets during the six months that
resulted  in gains for financial reporting purposes of $1,561,000
and  net  proceeds of $4,241,000.  The non-core assets sold  were
162  acres  of  land  in Katy, Texas and an  180  unit  apartment
complex  in  Winter  Park, Florida.  At June 30,  1997,  non-core
assets other than mortgage loans totaled $6,932,000.  The Company
expects to continue its efforts to liquidate these assets.

      Notes payable to banks totaling $8,200,000 at June 30, 1997
are  primarily due to advances under bank lines of credit for the
purchase of the Sugar Grove office building.

      Scheduled principal payments of $1,147,000 were made during
the  six months on existing notes payable without recourse.   The
Company  expects  to  continue seeking fixed  rate,  non-recourse
mortgage financing at fully-amortizing terms ranging from  twelve
to  fifteen  years  on  select  office  building  investments  as
additional  capital is needed.  The Company plans to  maintain  a
ratio of debt to total market capitalization from 25% to 40%.

      Stockholders' equity increased $54,441,000 during  the  six
months  ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the following  factors
(in thousands):

                                Increase (Decrease)

      On  January  22, 1997, the Company completed  the  sale  of
2,012,500  shares of common stock at $27.00 per share  under  its
existing  shelf  registration  to a  combination  of  retail  and
institutional  investors  with net proceeds  to  the  Company  of
$51,221,000.






RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comments  are for the three months and six months ended June  30,
1997  compared to the three months and six months ended June  30,
1996.

      Net  income  for the three months ended June 30,  1997  was
$2,676,000 ($.43 per share) as compared to $6,413,000 ($2.00  per
share) for the three months ended June 30, 1996.   Net income for
the  six  months  ended June 30, 1997 was $6,220,000  ($1.04  per
share)  as compared to $7,200,000 ($2.31 per share) for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1996.

      Net  income for the three months and six months ended  June
30,  1996  included $5,569,000 ($1.73 per share)  and  $5,572,000
($1.79 per share) in net gains from the sale of non-core assets.

      The primary reason for the increase in the Company's income
before  gains  (losses)  for 1997 as  compared  to  1996  is  the
reflection  of  the operations of the following office  buildings
subsequent to the date of purchase:

      The  decrease in interest income on mortgage loans  is  due
primarily  to sales of mortgage loans during 1996.  In May  1996,
the  Company  sold  157 mortgage loans.  In  December  1996,  the
Company sold its only wrap mortgage loan with a principal balance
of  $16,529,000  and 8.58% interest rate and subsequently  repaid
the  associated  wrap debt on that mortgage loan, accounting  for
the  decrease in interest expense on wrap mortgages.     At  June
30,  1997, the Company had three mortgage loans totaling $326,000
with an average interest rate of 10%.

     The increase in interest on investments reflects higher cash
balances  invested  in interest bearing accounts  for  the  three
months  and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the  three
months and six months ended June 30, 1996.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

      Cash  and cash equivalents were $480,000 and $8,053,000  at
June  30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The  Company
generated  $7,797,000  in  cash flows from  operating  activities
during the six months ending June 30, 1997 compared to $3,064,000
for  the  same period of 1996, an increase primarily attributable
to  the  significant increase in the number of office  properties
owned  by  the  Company.   The  Company  experienced  significant
investing  activity during the six months ending  June  30,  1997
with  a  net of $70,590,000 being invested.  In implementing  its
investment strategy, the Company used $72,708,000, not  including
closing  costs  and  certain capitalized  expenses,  to  purchase
office  properties and development land while receiving net  cash
proceeds  from the sale of non-core assets and office  properties
of $5,665,000.  The Company also spent $3,591,000 to make capital
improvements at its office properties and non-core operating real
estate   properties.  The  Company  received  net   proceeds   of
$51,221,000  from the sale of 2,012,500 shares  of  common  stock
during  the  first quarter of 1997.  Cash dividends of $3,144,000
($.50 per share) were paid to shareholders and principal payments
of  $1,147,000 were made on mortgage notes payable during the six
months ending June 30, 1997.

Liquidity

      At June 30, 1997, the Company had available $37,300,000  on
its  acquisition line of credit and  $9,500,000  on  its  working
capital  line  of credit with Deposit Guaranty National  Bank  in
Jackson,  Mississippi.  The Company plans  to  continue  actively
pursuing  the purchase of office building investments  that  meet
the  Company's investment criteria and intends to use these lines
of  credit,  proceeds from the sale of non-core assets  and  cash
balances to fund those acquisitions.  At June 30, 1997, the lines
of  credit  had an interest rate equal to the 90-day  LIBOR  rate
plus  1.75% (adjusted quarterly), interest due monthly and annual
commitment fees of .125%.  In addition, both lines of credit have
fees  of  .125% on the unused balances due quarterly.   Prior  to
March  27,  1997,  the  interest rates on both  lines  of  credit
equaled the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 2.35% adjusted quarterly.  The
interest rate on the notes was 7.56% as of August 14, 1997.   The
acquisition line of credit and the working capital line of credit
mature June 30, 1998.

      Effective June 30, 1997, the Company's lines of credit were
increased  with Deposit Guaranty National Bank to $55,000,000  on
the acquisition line and $15,000,000 on the working capital line.
All other terms of the lines remained the same.

      At  June  30,  1997,  the Company had $61,681,000  of  non-
recourse  fixed  rate  mortgage notes  payable  with  an  average
interest   rate  of  8.01%  secured  by  office  properties   and
$8,200,000  drawn  under  bank lines of  credit.   Based  on  the
Company's    total   market   capitalization   of   approximately
$238,904,000  at June 30, 1997 (using the June 30,  1997  closing
price  of  $26.875  per  share) the  Company's  debt  represented
approximately  29.25%  of  its total market  capitalization.  The
Company  plans  to  maintain a ratio  of  debt  to  total  market
capitalization from 25% to 40%.

      Purchases of office buildings subsequent to June  30,  1997
include the following (in thousands):

     Fairway Plaza       Los Colinas, TX  $ 6,705      08/12/97

      These purchases were funded with advances on bank lines  of
credit.

      (1)The Company assumed a $6,910,000 first mortgage  on  the
property with an 8.08% interest rate as part of the purchase.

     The Company presently has plans to make capital improvements
at  its  office  properties in 1997 of approximately  $5,500,000.
These   expenses   included   tenant  improvements,   capitalized
acquisition   costs   and   capitalized  building   improvements.
Approximately $2,500,000 of these improvements relate to upgrades
on  properties acquired in 1996 and 1997.  All such  improvements
are  expected to be financed by cash flow from the properties and
advances on bank lines of credit.


      The  Company  anticipates that its  current  cash  balance,
operating  cash flows and borrowings (including borrowings  under
the  working capital line of credit) will be adequate to pay  the
Company's  (i) operating and administrative expenses,  (ii)  debt
service  obligations, (iii) distributions to  shareholders,  (iv)
capital  improvements,  and  (v) normal  repair  and  maintenance
expenses at its properties both in the short and long term.

Funds From Operations

     Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an
appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs.  Funds  from
operations is defined by the National Association of Real  Estate
Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income or loss, excluding gains
or  losses from debt restructuring and sales of properties,  plus
depreciation   and  amortization,  and  after   adjustments   for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  In  March  1995,
NAREIT  issued  a clarification of the definition  of  FFO.   The
clarification  provides that amortization of  deferred  financing
costs  and depreciation of non-real estate assets are not  to  be
added back to net income to arrive at FFO.  Funds from operations
does  not  represent cash generated from operating activities  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  and  is
not  an  indication of cash available to fund cash needs.   Funds
from  operations should not be considered an alternative  to  net
income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance  or
as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

     The following table presents the Company's FFO for the three
months  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  and  1996   (in

Inflation

      In the last five years, inflation has not had a significant
impact  on  the  Company because of the relatively low  inflation
rate in the Company's geographic areas of operation.  Most of the
leases  require  the  tenants to pay  their  pro  rata  share  of
operating  expenses,  including  common  area  maintenance,  real
estate  taxes  and  insurance,  thereby  reducing  the  Company's
exposure  to  increases  in  operating  expenses  resulting  from
inflation.   In  addition, the Company's  leases  typically  have
three to five year terms, which may enable the Company to replace
existing leases with new leases at a higher base if rents on  the
existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Forward-Looking Statements

In  addition to historical information, certain sections of  this
Form  10-Q  may  contain  forward-looking statements  within  the
meaning  of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange Act of  1934,  such  as  those
pertaining to the Company's capital resources, profitability  and
portfolio   performance.   Forward-looking   statements   involve
numerous  risks and uncertainties.  The following factors,  among
others  discussed herein, could cause actual results  and  future
events  to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated
in  the  forward-looking statements: defaults or  non-renewal  of
leases, increased interest rates and operating costs, failure  to
obtain  necessary outside financing, difficulties in  identifying
properties  to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, failure  to
qualify  as  a  real estate investment trust under  the  Internal
Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as amended (the "Code"),  environmental
uncertainties,  risks  related  to natural  disasters,  financial
market  fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws  and
increases in real property tax rates.  The success of the Company
also  depends upon the trends of the economy, including  interest
rates,  income  tax  laws, governmental regulation,  legislation,
population changes and those risk factors discussed elsewhere  in
this   Form  10-Q.   Readers are cautioned  not  to  place  undue
reliance    on   forward-looking   statements,   which    reflect
management's  analysis  only as the  date  hereof.   The  Company
assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.   See

Securities  and  Exchange Commission pursuant to  the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
