    THE TURNER CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, the
consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  retained
earnings and the consolidated statements of cash  flows
for  the  six months ended June 30, 1995 and  1994  are
unaudited,  but,  in  the  opinion  of  the   company's
management reflect all adjustments, consisting only  of
normal  recurring adjustments, which are  necessary  to
present  fairly the financial condition and results  of
operations  at those dates and for those periods.   The
results of operations for any three month period is not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.   It
is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction  with the audited financial statements  and
notes  thereto included in the company's latest  annual

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

Results of operations in the six months ended June  30,
1995  produced  net income of $2.2 million  essentially
unchanged from the corresponding period of 1994.

Value  of  construction completed for  the  six  months
ended  June 30, 1995, increased by 19% from  the  level
recorded  during the corresponding period  in  1994  to
$1.51  billion.   Earnings from construction  contracts
increased  16%  from  the prior  year  level  to  $33.8
million.   The  increase in construction  activity  and
related  earnings reflects the growth in sales activity
in 1994 due to a resurgence of the company's markets.
  
Losses  from real estate operations for the six  months
ended   June  30,  1995  amounted  to  $886,000.    The
corresponding  period  for  1994  reflected  the   gain
realized  on the sale of lease rights of the  company's
Rickenbacker facility.

Operating  and  general  and  administrative   expenses
during the six months ended June 30, 1995, increased 7%
from  the corresponding period of 1994 to $28.6 million
primarily  due  to  higher  interest  rate  levels  and
increases  in  benefit costs.  Operating  expenses  for
construction   and   real  estate  showed   significant
declines  from the corresponding period in  1994  as  a
result  of  restructuring steps  taken  in  the  second
quarter of 1994.

During  the  first  six months of  1995,  approximately
$711,000  was  charged  to the remaining  restructuring
reserve  consisting  primarily of the  finalization  of
reorganization steps taken in prior years.
  
Other  income  for the six months ended June  30,  1995
amounted to a loss of $414,000 mostly due to losses  in
overseas  operations  as  a result  of  continued  soft
market conditions.

The  construction  industry in the  United  States  has
continued   to  experience  spotty  economic  recovery.
Additionally,  the present soft economic conditions  in
Western  Europe  have  reduced  opportunities  for  the
company's  Turner  Steiner venture.   To  mitigate  the
impact of these developments, the company continues  to
seek new business in construction sectors less affected
by  the cyclical economic decline.  The company is also
continuing   its   efforts   to   maintain    operating
efficiencies experienced by its restructuring program.

At  June  30, 1995, the company's backlog of  value  of
construction  to  be completed was  $4.42  billion  and
anticipated  earnings  associated  with  backlog   from
construction contracts was $98.7 million,  compared  to
$4.55  billion and $92.6 million at December 31,  1994.
Estimated  earnings from construction contracts  cannot
and should not be used as the basis of predictions with
respect to future net income.
  
                             -8-
                              
Because  of  the  constantly  changing  proportion   of
construction  management  contracts,  consulting  work,
construction contract types (cost plus percentage  fee,
cost  plus  fixed fee, guaranteed total and lump  sum),
and  other factors, the relationship of value  of  work
completed  and earnings from construction contracts  is
not necessarily meaningful in the short run.

The  company's cash flow for the six months ended  June
30,  1995 resulted in a net increase of funds  of  $2.3
million.  Cash flows from operating activities amounted
to  $8.6  million due primarily to increases  in  other
liabilities.   Cash  flows  from  investing  activities
amounted  to $1.6 million which is principally  due  to
the  payments on notes receivable and the distributions
from construction joint ventures offset by the purchase
of   property  and  equipment.   Cash  flows  used   in
financing activities amounted to $7.9 million primarily
due  to  pay downs on existing credit facilities.   The
company's   management  believes  that  the   company's
financial condition and available credit facilities  at
June 30, 1995 are sufficient to support the present and
prospective levels of the company's operations.

Item 5                 Legal Proceedings

          In  July  1995,  a  jury  rendered  a  verdict  in
      litigation between Turner Construction Company  and  a
      joint  venture including Prudential Insurance  Company
      of  America  in  the  Circuit Court  of  Cook  County,
      Illinois  (1)  awarding  Turner  $8.33  million   with
      regard  to  Turner's claim for the unpaid  portion  of
      the  costs of construction of Prudential Plaza  II  in
      Chicago,  and  (2) denying all of Prudential's  claims
      for   damages  for  alleged  construction  delays  and
      construction  defects.  The amount awarded  to  Turner
      approximates  the net account receivable  on  Turner's
      books.
