new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the

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 September 30, 1997 
compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 1996.

     In 1997,  Parkway is continuing the application of its 
strategy of aggressively acquiring office properties and 
liquidating non-core assets.  During the first nine months of 
1997, the Company purchased twelve office properties, sold one 
office property located outside its geographical area of focus, 
and sold two non-core assets.  Total assets increased 
$167,465,000, and office properties (before depreciation) 
increased $177,821,000 or 134%.

     Parkway's direct investment in office buildings and land 
held for development increased $176,976,000 net of depreciation 
to a carrying amount of $299,778,000 at September 30, 1997 and 
consisted of 27 properties.  During the nine months ending

                                             ========

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

     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 rata 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 nine months ending September 30, 1997, the 
Company also capitalized building improvements and additional 
purchase expenses of $2,253,000 and recorded depreciation 
expense of $3,603,000.

     Parkway sold two non-core assets during the nine 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.  In addition, land 
held for sale decreased due to a writedown of $500,000 taken to 
reflect current market prices, as evidenced by a signed contract 
with a third-party purchaser. At September  30, 1997, non-core 
assets other than mortgage loans totaled $6,242,000.  The 
Company expects to continue its efforts to liquidate these 
assets.

     Notes payable to banks totaling $8,200,000 at September 30, 
1997 are due to advances under bank lines of credit to complete 
the purchase of Morgan Keegan Tower.

     Scheduled principal payments of $1,777,000 were made during 
the nine 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 $149,740,000 during the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of the following 
factors (in thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comments are for the three months and nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 compared to the three months and nine months 
ended September 30, 1996.

     Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 
was $2,205,000 ($.34 per share) as compared to $1,621,000 ($.39 
per share) for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 
$8,425,000 ($1.36 per share) as compared to $8,821,000 ($2.54 
per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 
included $6,167,000 ($1.78 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:

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had one non-office 
operating property held for sale known as Plantation Village, a 
57,000 square foot shopping center located in Lake Jackson, Texas 
with a carrying value of $1,497,000.

     The Company also has the following parcels of undeveloped

     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.	During the quarter ending September 30, 1997, the 
Company received a payoff of a mortgage loan with a principal 
balance of $33,000 and recognized a gain on the payoff of 
$17,000.  At September 30, 1997, the Company had two mortgage 
loans totaling $307,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared 
to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

     Cash and cash equivalents were $486,000 and $8,053,000 at 
September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The 
Company generated $14,980,000 in cash flows from operating 
activities during the nine months ending September 30, 1997 
compared to $6,252,000 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 nine 
months ending September 30, 1997 with a net of $170,231,000 
being invested.  In implementing its investment strategy, the 
Company used $170,952,000 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 $5,024,000 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 and net proceeds of $95,077,000 from the 
sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock during the third 
quarter of 1997.  Cash dividends of $5,352,000 ($.85 per share) 
were paid to shareholders and principal payments of $1,777,000 
were made on mortgage notes payable during the nine months 
ending September 30, 1997.

Liquidity

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had available $6,800,000 
on its acquisition line of credit and  $55,000,000 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 September 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 7.53% as 
of November 13, 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 September 30, 1997, the Company had $67,960,000 of non-
recourse fixed rate mortgage notes payable with an average 
interest rate of 8.02% secured by office properties and 
$8,200,000 drawn under bank lines of credit.  Based on the 
Company's total market capitalization of approximately 
$392,050,000 at September 30, 1997 (using the September 30, 1997 
closing price of $33.9375 per share) the Company's debt 
represented approximately 19.43% 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 September 30, 
1997 include the following (in thousands):

                                           Purchase   Purchase

     First Little Rock
       Plaza              Little Rock, AK  $  10,200   11/07/97

     These purchases were funded with advances on bank lines of 
credit and the proceeds of the exercise of the over-allotment 
option of 450,000 shares of common stock at $33.6875 per share.

     The Company has decided to attempt to sell its three office 
buildings in the Northern Virginia market. These buildings were 
purchased in July 1996 for $11,050,000.  The Company has 
continued its effort to purchase additional office properties in 
this market sufficient to justify the implementation of self 
management but has been unsuccessful, as prices have risen to 
amounts above the Company's established buying criteria.  
Therefore, the Company has decided to exit the Northern Virginia 
market.  The Company is currently marketing these properties for 
approximately $17,000,000 and anticipates selling these 
properties by late 1997 or early 1998.  However, there can be no 
assurance that the Company will sell these properties or on what 
terms such sale would occur.
 
     On November 12, 1997 the Company received funds totaling 
$15,000,000 from the placement of non-recourse mortgage 
financing on an office property located in Winston Salem, North 
Carolina.  The loan is fully amortizing over a 15-year period at 
a rate of 7.3%.

     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.

three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

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.
