       The   accompanying   financial  statements   reflect   all
adjustments  which  are, in the opinion of management,  necessary
for  a  fair  statement of the results for  the  interim  periods
presented.   All  such  adjustments are  of  a  normal  recurring
nature.   The  financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the annual report and the notes thereto.

      Effective January 1, 1997, the Company elected to be  taxed
as  a  real  estate  investment trust (REIT) under  the  Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

      The  Company completed its reorganization into  the  UPREIT
(Umbrella Partnership REIT) structure effective January 1,  1998.
The Company anticipates that the UPREIT structure will enable  it
to  pursue  additional  investment opportunities  by  having  the
ability  to offer tax-advantaged operating partnership  units  to
property owners in exchange for properties.

(2)  Reclassifications

      Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  in  the  1997

Transactions.
     
     On March 31, 1998, the Company purchased the SouthTrust Bank
Building   in  St.  Petersburg,  Florida  for  $17,440,000.   The

operating  company.  The Company expects to  record  a  gain  for
financial reporting purposes of approximately $3.3 million on the
sale  in  the  third quarter.  The Company anticipates  that  the
taxable  gain  from this transaction will be deferred  through  a
Section  1031  like-kind  exchange and, accordingly,  no  special
dividend   of  the  capital  gain  was  required.   Approximately
$25,000,000 of the sale proceeds are held in trust under the like-
kind   exchange  rules,  pending  the  purchase  of   replacement

foot  Town  Point  Center  building  in  Norfolk,  Virginia   for
$10,700,000.  The eleven-story office building was constructed in

The building is currently 76% leased to 18 tenants.  The purchase
price of the two properties represents a discount was funded with
proceeds from the sale of the Dallas properties.
     

 (6)  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      In  1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS
No.  128"),  "Earnings  per Share".  SFAS No.  128  replaced  the
calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share  with
basic  and  diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary  earnings
per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects
of   options,  warrants  and  convertible  securities.    Diluted
earnings  per  share  is very similar to the previously  reported
fully diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts
for  all  periods  have  been presented and,  where  appropriate,
restated to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements.

      As  of  January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board's Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  130  ("SFAS  No. 130"), "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income."   SFAS  No. 130 establishes new rules for the  reporting
and  display  of  comprehensive income and its  components.   The
adoption  of SFAS No. 130 did not affect consolidated results  of
operations or financial position.

      As  of  January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board's Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 131 ("SFAS No. 131"), "Disclosures about  Segments
of   an  Enterprise  and  Related  Information."   SFAS  No.  131
superseded Statement 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments  of  a
Business Enterprise."  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
way  that  public enterprises report information about  operating
segments  in annual financial statements and requires that  those
enterprises report selected information about operating  segments
interim   financial  reports.   SFAS  No.  131  also  establishes
standards  for  related disclosures about products and  services,
geographic areas, and major customers.  The adoption of SFAS  No.
131  did  not  affect  consolidated  results  of  operations   or
financial position.

(7)  Capital Transactions

      On  February 23, 1998, the Company completed  the  sale  of
451,528  shares of Common Stock to a unit investment trust  under
its  existing shelf registration with net proceeds to the Company
of $14,231,000.

      On March 11, 1998, the Company completed the sale of Common
Stock  through the direct placement of 855,900 shares  of  Common
Stock  in  a public offering with net proceeds to the Company  of
$26,948,000.

      On  April  28,  1998,  the Company completed  the  sale  of
2,400,000   shares  of  8.75%  Series  A  Cumulative   Redeemable
Preferred Stock with net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$57,600,000.   The underwriters in this transaction  subsequently
purchased  an additional 250,000 shares of preferred stock  under
the  over-allotment  option.  The exercise of the  over-allotment
option closed on May 6, 1998 with net proceeds to the Company  of
approximately $6,030,000.

      On  June 5, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved
the  repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's Common  Stock.
Through  August 11, 1998, 500,000 shares had been repurchased  at
an  average  price of $29.84.  On August 5, 1998,  the  Company's
Board  of  Directors  approved the repurchase  of  an  additional
500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

expenses  of  $4,440,000  and recorded  depreciation  expense  of
$5,589,000.

      Office buildings held for sale increased $49,076,000 during
the  six  months due to the decision by the Company to  exit  the
Dallas  market.  The decision to sell the Company's  four  office
buildings  in  Dallas was based on management's belief  that  the
significant  amount  of development and proposed  development  of
office  properties in the Dallas market may have  the  effect  of
depressing  the  recent  growth in  rental  rates.   The  Company
routinely evaluates changes in market conditions that indicate an
opportunity  or need to sell properties within those  markets  in
order  to  maximize  shareholder  value.  As  a  result  of  this
evaluation, the Company decided to attempt to sell the properties
located  in  Dallas.  Subsequent to this  decision,  the  Company
announced on April 22, 1998, the signing of an agreement to  sell
these  properties  for $53,250,000 in cash  to  Triad  Properties
Corporation, a private real estate investment company.  The sales
price  represents  approximately $100 per  square  foot  for  the
properties, which total approximately 534,390 net rentable square
feet.  The Company closed the transaction effective July 1,  1998
and expects to record a gain for financial reporting purposes  of
approximately $3.3 million on the sale in the third quarter.  The
Company  anticipates that the taxable gain from this  transaction
will  be deferred through a Section 1031 like-kind exchange  and,
accordingly,  no  special dividend of the capital  gain  will  be
required.

      Parkway sold three non-core and other assets during the six
months that resulted in gains for financial reporting purposes of
$1,339,000 and net proceeds of $2,726,000.  At June 30, 1998, non-
core  assets  other than mortgage loans totaled $4,408,000.   The
Company  expects  to  continue its  efforts  to  liquidate  these
assets.

      Notes payable to banks totaled $24,353,000 at June 30, 1998
and  are  the  result of advances under bank lines of  credit  to
purchase additional office properties.

      Mortgage  notes  payable without recourse increased  a  net
$76,719,000  due to the funding of $78,866,000 of  a  $97,000,000
fixed  rate  loan and scheduled principal payments of  $2,147,000
during  the  six  months ended June 30, 1998  on  existing  notes
payable  without  recourse.   The  Company  expects  to  continue
seeking  fixed  rate, non-recourse mortgage  financing  at  terms
ranging  from  ten  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%  but  anticipates that this  ratio  may  exceed  40%
although such ratio may from time to time temporarily exceed 40%,
especially  when the Company has incurred significant amounts  of
short term debt in connection with property acquisitions.

      Stockholders' equity increased $107,997,000 during the  six
months  ended June 30, 1998 as a result of the following  factors

     On  February  23, 1998, the Company completed  the  sale  of
451,528  shares of Common Stock to a unit investment  trust  with
net proceeds to the Company of $14,231,000.

$26,948,000.

      On  April  28,  1998,  the Company completed  the  sale  of
2,400,000   shares  of  8.75%  Series  A  Cumulative   Redeemable
Preferred Stock with net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$57,600,000.   The underwriters in this transaction  subsequently
purchased  an additional 250,000 shares of preferred stock  under
the  over-allotment  option.  The exercise of the  over-allotment
option closed on May 6, 1998 with net proceeds to the Company  of
approximately $6,030,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comments  are for the three months and six months ended June  30,
1998  compared to the three months and six months ended June  30,
1997.

      Net  income available for common stockholders for the three
months  ended June 30, 1998 was $5,506,000 ($.50 per basic common
share)  as  compared to $2,676,000 ($.43 per basic common  share)
for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

     Net  income  available for common stockholders for  the  six
months  ended  June  30, 1998 was $11,076,000  ($1.00  per  basic
common  share) as compared to $6,220,000 ($1.04 per basic  common
share) for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

      The primary reason for the increase in the Company's income
before  gains  for 1998 as compared to 1997 is the reflection  of
the  operations of the following office buildings  subsequent  to
the date of purchase:

      In addition to direct investments in office properties, the
Company  owns the Wink Office Building in New Orleans,  Louisiana
through a 50% ownership in the Wink/Parkway Partnership.   Income

      The  increase  in interest expense on office properties  is
primarily  due  to  the mortgage loans assumed and/or  new  loans
placed  in  1997 and 1998. The average interest rate on  Mortgage
Notes Payable as of June 30, 1998 was 7.4%.

     The  $2,976,000 increase in interest expense on banks  notes
for the six month ending June 30, 1998 compared to the six months
ending  June  30,  1997  is primarily due  to  advances  made  on
existing  bank lines of credit for purchases of office properties
in  the first six months of 1998 and an advance of $75,000,000 on
an  unsecured  loan  from NationsBank, NA.  The  NationsBank,  NA
facility required the negative pledge of the 13 office properties
purchased  February 25, 1998 and matures August  25,  1998.  This
loan  was repaid in full on June 30, 1998 with proceeds from  the
97,000,000 mortgage notes payable.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

      Cash and cash equivalents were $99,000 and $959,000 at June
30,  1998  and  December  31,  1997, respectively.   The  Company
generated  $19,881,000  in cash flows from  operating  activities
during the six months ending June 30, 1998 compared to $7,797,000
for  the  same period of 1997, 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,  1998
with  a net of $212,196,000 being invested.  In implementing  its
investment strategy, the Company used $211,459,000, not including
closing  costs  and  certain capitalized  expenses,  to  purchase
office properties and land held for sale while receiving net cash
proceeds   from  the  sale  of  non-core  and  other  assets   of
$2,726,000.   The Company also spent $4,350,000 to  make  capital
improvements  at its office properties. The Company received  net
proceeds  of  $41,180,000 from the sale of  1,307,428  shares  of
Common Stock and $63,630,000 from the sale of 2,650,000 shares of
8.75%  Series  A Preferred Stock during the six months  of  1998.
Cash dividends of $7,761,000 ($.70 per common share) were paid to
shareholders, 13,088 shares of Common Stock were repurchased  for
a  total  of  $382,000 and principal payments of $2,147,000  were
made  on mortgage notes payable during the six months ending June
30, 1998.

Liquidity

      At June 30, 1998, the Company had available $68,956,000  on
its  acquisition line of credit and  $6,691,000  on  its  working
capital  line of credit.  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, 1998, the lines
of  credit  had an interest rate equal to the 90-day  LIBOR  rate
plus  1.40%  (adjusted monthly), interest due monthly and  annual
commitment fees of .35%.  In addition, both lines of credit  have
fees  of .175% on the unused balances due quarterly. The interest
rate  on  the  notes  was  7.07% as  of  August  11,  1998.   The
acquisition line of credit and the working capital line of credit
matured June 30, 1998 and were extended to September 30, 1998.

     On  June  30,  1998, the Company closed a $97,000,000  fixed
rate  mortgage loan at 6.945% that amortizes over a 15-year  term
and  matures July 1, 2008.  The loan was funded in two parts with
$78,866,000 funded June 30, 1998 and $18,134,000 funded July  31,
1998.   This  loan  is  secured by 13  of  the  Company's  office
properties  and  was used to repay the NationsBank,  NA  loan  of
$75,000,000  and  repay advances outstanding  on  bank  lines  of
credit.   The loan also contains a conversion feature that  gives
the  Company an option to unsecure all or part of the  loan  upon
receipt  of  an  investment grade rating from two  of  the  major
rating agencies during the first 24 months of the loan.

     At  June  30,  1998,  the Company had $181,939,000  of  non-
recourse  fixed  rate  mortgage notes  payable  with  an  average
interest  rate  of  7.433%  secured  by  office  properties   and
$24,353,000  drawn  under bank lines of  credit.   Based  on  the
Company's    total   market   capitalization   of   approximately
$599,250,000  at June 30, 1998 (using the June 30,  1998  closing
price  of  $29.50  per  share)  the  Company's  debt  represented
approximately  34.4%  of  its  total market  capitalization.  The
Company  plans  to  maintain a ratio  of  debt  to  total  market
capitalization from 25% to 40% although such ratio may from  time
to  time temporarily exceed 40%, especially when the Company  has
incurred  significant amounts of short term  debt  in  connection
with property acquisitions.

     Events subsequent to quarter-end are listed below.
     
     On  July 1, 1998, the Company purchased a partnership owning
the  171,800  square foot 111 East Capitol Building  in  Jackson,
Mississippi  for  $11,350,000  in  the  Company's  first   UPREIT
transaction.   The Company assumed existing debt on the  property
of  $5,647,000 at a rate of 8%.  The building was constructed  in
1983 and includes an attached 200-space two-level parking garage.
The  111 East Capitol Building is located in the Central Business
District of Jackson and was 83% occupied at June 30, 1998.
     
     On  July  1,  1998  the  Company  closed  the  sale  of  its
investment portfolio of four office properties located in Dallas,
Texas for $53,250,000 in cash to Triad Properties Corporation,  a
Huntsville,  Alabama-based  private real  estate  investment  and
operating  company.  The Company expects to  record  a  gain  for
financial reporting purposes of approximately $3.3 million on the
sale  in  the  third quarter.  The Company anticipates  that  the
taxable  gain  from this transaction will be deferred  through  a
Section  1031  like-kind  exchange and, accordingly,  no  special
dividend   of  the  capital  gain  was  required.   Approximately
$25,000,000 of the sale proceeds are held in trust under the like-
kind   exchange  rules,  pending  the  purchase  of   replacement
properties.
     
      On  July 20, 1998, the Company purchased the 144,000 square
foot  Westvaco  building in Richmond, Virginia  for  $13,030,000.
The  five-story office building was constructed in  1986  and  is
located  in southwest Richmond in The Boulders office park.   The
building is currently 99%.

      On  July 20, 1998, the Company purchased the 130,000 square
foot  Town  Point  Center  building  in  Norfolk,  Virginia   for
$10,700,000.  The eleven-story office building was constructed in
1987  and is located in the central business district of Norfolk.
The building is currently 76% leased to 18 tenants.

             On  June  5, 1998, the Company's board of  Directors
approved the repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock.   Through  August  11,  1998,  500,000  shares  had   been
repurchased  at an average price of $29.84.  On August  5,  1998,
the  Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase  of  an
additional 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
     
     The Company presently has plans to make capital improvements
at  its  office properties in 1998 of approximately  $15,000,000.
These   expenses   include   tenant   improvements,   capitalized
acquisition   costs   and   capitalized  building   improvements.
Approximately $9,000,000 of these improvements relate to upgrades
on   properties  acquired  in  1996,  1997  and  1998  that  were
anticipated  at the time of purchase.  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, proceeds from the sale of office properties
held  for  sale  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")  are
an  appropriate measure of performance for equity  REITs.   Funds
from  operations are 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,  1998  and  1997   (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.
