                          $275.00 PER UNIT CASH OFFER
                             TO ALL UNITHOLDERS OF
                    CONNECTICUT GENERAL EQUITY PROPERTIES-I

Dear Unitholder:

                 This letter supplements our Offer to Purchase (the "Offer") up
to 15,695 units of interest ("Units") in Connecticut General Equity
Properties-I Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") at a net cash price of
$275 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"), less the amount of certain distributions
and any transfer fees imposed by the Partnership (as described in the Offer).
The Offer expires December 17, 1996 at 12:00 midnight, New York time.

                 We urge you to consider the following points in your review of
our Offer and the materials the Partnership has sent to you:

         o       The general partner of the Partnership has estimated the "net
                 asset value" of the Partnership at $425 per Unit.  The price
                 in our Offer is less than this amount, and may be less than
                 ultimate liquidation proceeds, but it is not a hypothetical
                 value.  OUR PURCHASE PRICE IS AVAILABLE IN CASH NOW.
                 Unitholders can sell their Units this year and receive their
                 final income tax forms from the Partnership for 1996.

         o       The general partner has not, to our knowledge, obtained an
                 independent appraisal or valuation of the Partnership's
                 properties.  The general partner has stated there is no
                 certainty that if the Partnership's properties are sold, the
                 Partnership would realize from such sale an amount equal to
                 the value placed on such properties by the general partner.

         o       The general partner's opinion of "net asset value" does not
                 take into account brokerage commissions and other costs of
                 selling the Partnership's properties or additional costs of
                 liquidating and distributing the Partnership's assets.  These
                 costs would reduce the amount distributable to limited
                 partners on liquidation and should be considered when
                 comparing "net asset value" to the Purchase Price.

         o       After the date of our Offer, a proposal to purchase the
                 Partnership's properties was made by Glenborough Realty Trust,
                 Incorporated.  After deduction of estimated fees and costs
                 likely to be incurred in such transaction, (we estimated costs
                 at 3% of the selling price of $13 million, including a $260,000
                 brokerage fee payable to an agent of Glensborough) net sales
                 proceeds per Unit are estimated to be approximately $321. The
                 Purchase Price we have offered constitutes approximately 86% of
                 such amount and is not subject to the contingencies and
                 uncertainties of a negotiation process.


<PAGE>   2
         o       The general partner has stated that limited partner approval
                 of the Glenborough proposal is needed.  Even if such proposal
                 is submitted to and approved by the limited partners, there is
                 no certainty that a sale pursuant to the Glenborough proposal
                 will be consummated and, if consummated, the closing is not
                 likely to occur for several months.

         o       Since the Offer to Purchase was mailed, updated information
                 from the Partnership Spectrum became available.  Such
                 information showed a high price of $240 and a low price of
                 $190 for Units sold in secondary markets during the
                 twelve-month period ended September 30, 1996.  Such prices do
                 not reflect the 10% commissions usually paid by sellers in
                 such sales.  Our offer is for $275 per Unit without
                 commissions.

         o       We are making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
                 Accordingly, there is a conflict between our desire to
                 purchase Units at a low price and the desire of Unitholders to
                 sell their Units at a high price.

                 We urge you to read carefully this Supplement and the Offer to
Purchase for information pertinent to this Offer, including tax considerations,
and to consult your own tax advisor.  An Agreement of Transfer and Letter of
Transmittal and return envelope is enclosed for your convenience.

                 For answers to any questions, please contact our Information
Agent: 

                             D.F. KING & CO., INC.
