reserves.

      On  March  31,  1997,  the Company purchased  the  Meridian

issued  Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is  required
to  be  adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the  Company
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 March 31, 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  quarter  of
1997,  the Company purchased five office properties and sold  two
non-core  assets  with total assets increasing  $52,968,000,  and
office properties (before depreciation) increasing $58,911,000 or
45%.

      Parkway's  direct investment in office buildings  and  land
held for development increased $59,698,000 net of depreciation to
a carrying amount of $182,500,000 at March 31, 1997 and consisted
of 20 properties.  During the three months ending March 31, 1997,
Parkway   purchased  five  office  buildings   as   follows   (in
thousands):

                                            Purchase   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.

      During  the quarter, the Company also capitalized  building
improvements  and additional purchase expenses  of  $379,000  and
recorded depreciation expense of $925,000.

      Parkway  sold two non-core assets during the  quarter  that
resulted  in gains for financial reporting purposes of $1,506,000
and  net proceeds of $4,334,000.  The non-core assets sold during
the quarter were 162 acres of land in Katy, Texas and an 180 unit
apartment  complex in Winter Park, Florida.  At March  31,  1997,
non-core  assets  other than mortgage loans  totaled  $6,974,000.
The  Company  expects to continue its efforts to liquidate  these
assets.

      Scheduled  principal payments of $568,000 were made  during
the  quarter  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%.

       Shareholders'  equity  increased  $53,283,000  during  the
quarter ended March 31, 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 ended March 31, 1997  compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1996.

      Net  income for the three months ended March 31,  1997  was
$3,544,000  ($.62  per share) as compared to $787,000  ($.26  per
share) for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

      The  primary  reason for the increase in the Company's  net
income  for 1997 and 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 notes.    At March 31, 1997, the Company
has  three  mortgage  loans  totaling $348,000  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  ended  March 31, 1997 compared to the three months  ended
March 31, 1996.

      The  increase  in  general and administrative  expenses  is
primarily due to the increased costs related to the asset  growth
of the Company over the past year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

      Cash and cash equivalents were $4,686,000 and $8,053,000 at
March  31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The Company
generated  $4,057,000  in  cash flows from  operating  activities
during  the  three  months  ending March  31,  1997  compared  to
$1,765,000  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  three  months  ending
March  31,  1997  with a net of $56,596,000 being  invested.   In
implementing   its   investment  strategy,   the   Company   used
$60,328,000, 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  of $4,334,000.  The Company also spent $512,000  to  make
capital improvements at its office properties and non-core operating 
real estate properties.  The  Company also  received  net  proceeds
of $51,221,000 from the sale of 2,012,500 shares of common stock. 
Cash dividends of $1,572,000 ($.25 per share) were paid to shareholders
and principal payments of $568,000 were made on mortgage notes payable
during the three months ending March 31, 1997.

Capitalization

      At March 31, 1997, the Company had available $45,000,000 on
its  acquisition line of credit and  $10,000,000 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 March  31,  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 7.5625% as of  May
14,  1997.  The acquisition line of credit matures June 30,  1998
and the working capital line of credit matures June 30, 1997.

      At  March  31,  1997, the Company had $62,260,000  of  non-
recourse  fixed  rate  mortgage notes  payable  with  an  average
interest  rate of 8.01% secured by office properties.   Based  on
the   Company's  total  market  capitalization  of  approximately
$213,151,000 at March 31, 1997 (using the March 31, 1997  closing
price  of  $24.00  per  share)  the  Company's  debt  represented
approximately  29.2%  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 March 31,  1997
include the following (in thousands):

     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 ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

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.
