                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
which are included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 was adopted by the
Partnership on January 1, 1996.

245 PARK

     Occupancy of the office building remained at 96% during the quarter. 
As previously reported and as more fully explained in the Partnership's
1995 Annual Report, over the past several years, the midtown Manhattan
market has seen increased competition primarily due to new office building
developments as well as the increased vacancy in the downtown office
buildings.  The effective rental rates achieved on new leases are at
relatively reduced levels, although it appears that rental rates remained
stable in the midtown market in 1995.  No rental rate increases are
expected in the near term.

     The financial difficulties of the O&Y partners and their affiliates
and related issues have delayed the modification and extension of the joint
venture's mortgage loans.  As previously reported, in October 1995 each of
the O&Y partners and certain other O&Y affiliates filed for bankruptcy
protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code.  The O&Y partners and these certain other O&Y affiliates are
attempting to restructure their ownership interests in various office
buildings, including their interest in the 245 Park Avenue office building,
which is expected to take the form of one or more real estate investment
trusts and related operating entities.  Any such restructuring would be
subject to the approval of various creditors of the O&Y partners and other
O&Y affiliates as well as the bankruptcy court, and would likely result in
such creditors collectively obtaining control of such ownership interests. 
In connection with such restructuring, the joint venture filed for
bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in April
1996 seeking approval of a plan of reorganization by its creditors and the
partners of the joint venture, including the Partnership.  Although the
Partnership has had discussions with the O&Y partners and certain creditors
concerning restructuring proposals and a reorganization of the joint
venture, a proposal for the restructuring of the O&Y partners' ownership
interests and a plan for the reorganization of the joint venture have not
been agreed upon.

     The joint venture continues to pursue an extension and modification of
the mortgage loans secured by the property in the aggregate principal
amount of approximately $384,000,000 at March 31, 1996.  As previously
reported, the holder of the first mortgage loan agreed to extend the
originally scheduled maturity date of the loan from October 1, 1993 until
January 1, 1994.  During 1994, the joint venture negotiated a letter of
commitment with the first mortgage lender to further modify the loan for
the amount of the current outstanding principal balance plus accrued and
unpaid interest at a default rate of 18%  per annum from October 1, 1993
through the loan closing date, with a new interest rate from the loan
closing date for a five-year term.  The letter of commitment has expired by
its term.  However, the joint venture and the lender have continued to
negotiate a modification and extension of the first mortgage loan.  While
negotiations with the first mortgage lender have been taking place, the
lender has refrained from taking any actions or exercising any of its
remedies as a result of the loan maturing on January 1, 1994, and the joint
venture has continued to make monthly payments of principal and interest. 
If the joint venture is successful in obtaining a loan modification that
includes an extension of the maturity date, it also expects seek a similar
extension of the maturity dates of the junior mortgage loans.  To date, the
holder of the junior mortgage loans has refrained from taking any action or
exercising any of its remedies as a result of the loans maturing on October
1, 1994, an the joint venture has continued to make, and the holder of the
junior loans has continued to accept, monthly payments of interest. 
Interest on the junior mortgage loans is currently accruing at default rate
ranging from 11.88% to 14% per annum.  If the joint venture obtains
modifications and extensions of the mortgage loan, it is expected the
interest rates applicable to the loans during the extension period would be
no greater than that for the modified first mortgage loan.  It currently
appears that the modification and extension of the mortgage loans will be
included as part of, and may depend upon the consummation of, a plan of
reorganization of the joint venture and the restructuring of the ownership
interests of the O&Y partners and other O&Y affiliates in various office
buildings.  There can be no assurance that the joint venture will be able
to reach an agreement for any such modification and extension of any of its
mortgage indebtedness.

     The O&Y partners have loaned 245 Park amounts aggregating $83,264,000
(net of repayments) on a cumulative basis as of March 31, 1996, which
amount includes approximately $1,480,000 (net of repayments) loaned for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 for interest accruing on these advances. 
The loan from the O&Y partners currently exceed the maximum amount required
under the terms of the joint venture agreement.  Under the terms of the
joint venture agreement, the Partnership is obligated to contribute to 245
Park its share (approximately 48.25%) of any operating expenses, reserve
requirements and capital expenditures, including interest on the O&Y
partners' loans, to the extent not covered by cash flow from the property
or any additional loans from the O&Y partners.  The principal and any
unpaid interest on the O&Y partner loans will be due and payable on June 1,
2004, subject to earlier repayment out of available net cash flow or the
net proceeds of a refinancing, sale or other disposition of the property as
described below. The O&Y partners have also made capital contributions to
pay a portion of the costs associated with the Bear Stearns lease, for
which they are entitled to a priority distribution estimated to be
approximately $32,940,000 (including accrued interest, at 9% per annum
through March 1996, on the contributed and deferred amounts) from net
annual cash flow or sale or refinancing proceeds, as described above.  In
addition, as of March 31, 1996, approximately $10,100,000 of these costs
had been financed by a non-recourse loan from an affiliate of the O&Y
partners at an interest rate not to exceed 9% per annum and $25,000,000 of
the costs had been financed by a third party lender at an interest rate of
9% per annum pursuant to the fourth mortgage loan described above.  Through
March 1996, interest on such capital contributed by the O&Y partners and on
the non-recourse loan from their affiliate has accrued and has been added
to principal.

     If the joint venture's efforts to extend its mortgage loans are
unsuccessful, the joint venture may not be able to maintain ownership of
the property as the lenders may seek to acquire title to the property.  In
the event of such a disposition, the Partnership would then proceed to
terminate its affairs.

     Even if the joint venture is successful in obtaining extensions and
modifications of its mortgage loans, the Partnership and the joint venture
will each have a substantial amount of indebtedness.  If the 245 Park
Avenue building were sold and a distribution of net proceeds were made to
the Partnership after repayment of the mortgage loans and amounts owed to
the O&Y partners and their affiliates, the notes payable to JMB Realty
Corporation plus all related accrued interest must be satisfied before a
portion of the remaining proceeds, if any, would be distributable to the
Limited Partners.  As a result, it is unlikely that the Limited Partners
will receive any significant portion of their original investment. 
However, in the event of a sale or other disposition of the property
(including a transfer to the lenders), the Limited Partners would recognize
substantial gain for Federal income tax purposes (corresponding to all or
most of their deficit capital accounts for tax purposes).


TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     As noted on the accompanying balance sheet, the Partnership has notes
payable and related deferred interest payable to JMB Realty Corporation, an
affiliate of the General Partners.

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Fees, commissions and other
expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and
their affiliates as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

     245 Park received $16,350,000 in lease termination fees ($17,000,000
discounted at 9% for early payment) from Creditanstalt-Bankverien.  The
related revenue will be recognized in 1996 when the tenant vacates the
premises.


ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation (assuming the Partnership continues as a going concern) have
been made to the accompanying figures as of March 31, 1996 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.



PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning the Partnership's
investment.

     The mortgage loans secured by the 245 Park Avenue building have
matured without repayment.  If 245 Park's efforts to extend any of its
mortgage loans are unsuccessful, 245 Park may not be able to maintain an
ownership interest in the property, as the mortgage lenders may seek to
acquire title to the property.  In such event, the Partnership would
proceed to terminate its affairs.  Accordingly, there exists substantial
doubt as to the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.

     The Partnership's short-term liquidity is dependent upon additional
advances from JMB under the demand note discussed above.  The ultimate
source of the Partnership's liquidity is dependent upon the refinancing
and/or eventual sale of the Partnership's investment property.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 are primarily
attributable to the operations of the real property investment owned by 245
Park.

     The increase in deferred interest payable to an affiliate and demand
note payable to an affiliate as of March 31, 1996 as compared to December
31, 1995 are due to the interest accruals on certain of the term loans and
the demand note payable to JMB.

     The increase in the Partnership's share of loss from operations of
unconsolidated venture for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 is primarily due to
increased property operating costs and mortgage interest expense accruing
at default rates in 1996.  245 Park had suspended the accrual of interest
at default rates on the first mortgage loan March 1 through July 31, 1995
according to the provisions of the refinancing commitment entered into with
the lender.





PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

     ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

     245 Park's first mortgage loan in the approximate principal amount of
$191,550,000 had an extended maturity date of January 1, 1994.  245 Park
did not repay the principal and accrued interest on the loan at maturity,
but is currently seeking a modification and extension of the loan.  Accrued
default interest is approximately $14,200,000 at March 31, 1996.  The
junior mortgage loans, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$192,500,000, secured by the 245 Park Avenue office building matured in
October 1994 without repayment.  245 Park is also seeking modification and
extension of each of the junior mortgage loans.  Accrued default interest
on these loans is approximately $15,460,000 at March 31, 1996.  Reference
is made to the notes for further information concerning the mortgage loans
and efforts to obtain their modification and extension.

the Partnership being sometimes individually and collectively referred to
herein as the "PRIOR PARTIES"), which rights of the Prior Parties include,
but without limitation, the security interests created by, or identified
in, Section 9.3 of the Partnership Agreement.  Nothing in this Consent and
Agreement or in the Devco















                                 - 2 -
Loan Documents or Morgan Loan Documents shall be construed as imposing any

performance of any of the duties or obligations evidenced or secured by the
Devco Loan Documents or the Morgan Loan Documents; and none of JMB, the
Partnership or Continental shall have any obligations or liability in
respect of the repayment of the Devco Loan Documents or the Morgan Loan
Documents.  In addition, nothing herein or in the Devco Loan Documents or
the Morgan Loan Documents shall be construed as permitting any lien or
encumbrance upon any assets of the Partnership or of JMB as security for
performance of any of the duties or obligations evidenced or secured by the
Devco Loan Documents or the Morgan Loan Documents, including, but without
limitation, the repayment of the Devco Loan, the Morgan Loan any other debt
evidenced or secured thereby.

           2.  The Subordinate Parties acknowledge and consent to the
rights of Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago
("CONTINENTAL") identified in Section 9.3 of the Partnership Agreement and,
to the extent consistent with said Section 9.3, as further described on
Exhibit "C", hereunto annexed and made a part hereof (herein, the
"CONTINENTAL RIGHTS").  The rights of the Subordinate Parties under,
pursuant to or in respect of Section 9.3 of the Partnership Agreement are
and at all times shall be subject and subordinate to the Continental
Rights.  JMB represents and warrants that (i) Continental has consented to
JMB's execution and delivery of this Consent and Agreement and to the
possible transfer of Equity's and Holding's Partnership interests in
accordance herewith and that (ii) the Continental Rights represent all of
the agreements and understandings existing between JMB and Continental with
respect to the Continental Rights; and provided further, however, that the
foregoing representations and warranties shall not extend to understandings
or agreements which have no material or adverse affect on the interests of
the Subordinate Parties.

           3.    (a) The Subordinate Parties shall promptly (and, in any
event, within 30 days following their issuance) deliver copies of all
notices of default given under or in connection with the Devco Loan
Documents or Morgan Loan Documents to JMB and the Partnership.

                 (b) Without limitation upon, but in addition to, the
notification requirements set forth in (a) above, in the event that Devco
or Morgan shall seek to exercise any of their respective remedies under the
Devco Loan Documents or Morgan Loan Documents by reason of the occurrence
of default thereunder that has not been cured within the applicable cure
period, if any, thereunder (herein, and "EVENT OF DEFAULT"), then Devco or
Morgan, as appropriate, shall give JMB and the Partnership written notice
(herein, the "SPECIAL NOTICE") of (i) the occurrence of such Event of
Default (said Special Notice to specify with reasonable particularity the
circumstances giving rise to said Event of Default) and (ii) the remedies
which said party intends to pursue in respect of such Event of Default;
provided, however, that the notifying party shall not commence the exercise
of such remedies at any time




















                                 - 3 -
prior to that date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the receipt by
JMB and the Partnership of the Special Notice.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Devco or Morgan, as appropriate, shall not be obligated to give
the Special Notice unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred
and such party desires to proceed with remedies against or in respect of
one or more of the Pledges (as distinguished from their proceeding with
remedies unrelated to the Pledges); provided, however, that if any of such
parties subsequently desire (by reason of such Event of Default or by
reason of any other Event of Default) to proceed with remedies against or
in respect of one or more of the Pledges, then the aforesaid requirements
for the Special Notice shall be operative.  Subject to the Prior Parties
rights elsewhere set forth in this Consent and Agreement, the aforesaid 30-
day period within which Devco's or Morgan's remedies shall not be commenced
shall not apply to Devco's or Morgan's rights to receive distributions to
Equity or Holding from the Partnership.

                 (c) At all times following the receipt by JMB or the
Partnership of a Special Notice (or, in the event that, for any reason,
such Special Notice is not received by JMB or the Partnership, then at all
times following the commencement by Devco or Morgan of the exercise of any
of their respective remedies by reason of an Event of Default against or in
respect of one or more of the Pledges [as distinguished from their
proceeding with remedies unrelated to the Pledges],:

                      (i) the exclusive authority to manage the
operations and affairs of the Partnership and to make all decisions
regarding the Partnership and its business shall be vested in JMB, such
authority including, but not being limited to, the exclusive right to cause
the whole of the "Land Estates" and "Improvements" then included in the
"Business Property" to be sold at any time (subject, however, to the right
of first refusal set forth in subsection 6.2D(1) of the Partnership
Agreement) and to cause any financing or refinancing of the Business
Property; provided, however, that any such financing or refinancing of the
Business Property shall be subject to the provisions of subsection 6.2F of
the Partnership Agreement, except that JMB shall have the right to initiate
any such financing or refinancing at any time prior to, on or after April
1, 1993.  As used herein, the terms "LAND ESTATES", "IMPROVEMENTS" and
"BUSINESS PROPERTY" have the meanings set forth for such terms in the
Partnership Agreement.

                      (ii) Either JMB or the Partnership shall have the
right to terminate the "Management Agreement" (as such term is defined in
the Partnership Agreement), with or without cause, and on not less than
five (5) business days prior written notice from JMB or the Partnership to
O&Y Management Corp. ("AGENT"), in which event (1) JMB shall thereafter
make all decisions respecting the day-to-day operation of the Business
Property, including, but not limited to, all decisions respecting leasing,
repairs and improvements, (2) JMB shall have the right to appoint an
Affiliate of JMB or of JMB Realty Corporation (including, but without
limitation, JMB Properties Company) or an unaffiliated commercial
management company as successor manager to serve under an agreement in form
and content satisfactory to JMB, (3) the Management Agreement shall be of
no further force or effect (provided,

















                                 - 4 -
however, that said termination of the Management Agreement shall not be
construed as a release of any party thereto from any liabilities or
obligations arising or accruing thereunder prior to the termination
thereof), (4) Agent shall promptly deliver to JMB or its designee all
pertinent records and management reports held or prepared by the Agent
(including, both without limitation, copies of all tenant leases, service
contracts and other agreements and correspondence in respect of the
foregoing held by Agent or which is under Agent's control), as well as
funds then held by Agent, Equity or Holding on the Partnership's behalf
(Equity and Holding agreeing to cooperate with Manager in its performance
of its obligations under this paragraph 3), (5) if requested by JMB, Agent
shall formally and promptly notify in writing every tenant, vendor,
mortgagee and other parties designated by JMB of said change in management,
(6) any receipts or correspondence, invoices or other documents received by
Agent with respect to the Business Property subsequent to the date of
termination shall be promptly remitted and delivered to JMB or its
designee, and (7) Agent shall take all reasonably requested actions and
provide all reasonably requested assistance and advice as is necessary or
appropriate to cooperate with JMB and its designees in providing for the
smooth transition of management responsibilities to JMB or its designee. 
JMB and the Partnership shall have similar rights to those set forth in
this subparagraph (iii) with respect to any other agreements in effect
between the Partnership and any "Affiliates" (as such term is defined in
the Partnership Agreement) of Equity or Holding.

           4.  Subject to and without modification of the Prior Parties'
rights elsewhere set forth in this Consent and Agreement, unless and until
such date as of which all of the following shall have occurred:  (i) JMB
and the Partnership shall have received the Special Notice, (ii) the
Management Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to paragraph 3
above, (iii) all funds held by Agent, Equity and Holding on the
Partnership's behalf shall have been delivered to JMB or its designee and
(iv) JMB and the Partnership shall have received written notice (herein,
the "DISTRIBUTIONS NOTICE") from Devco or Morgan, as the case may be,
instructing the Partnership and JMB that distributions and loan repayments
from the Partnership not be made to Equity or Holding, neither JMB nor the
Partnership shall have any liability by reason of any distributions and
loan repayments from the Partnership being made (other than by JMB) to
Equity, Holding or their Affiliates (as opposed to such distributions or
loan repayments being made to any other party, including, but without
limitation, Devco or Morgan).  Subject to and without modification of the
Prior Parties' rights elsewhere set forth in this Consent and Agreement,
from and after such time as all of the events described in clauses (i)
through (iv) of the preceding sentence shall have occurred (collectively,
the "SPECIFIED EVENTS"), the Partnership shall be entitled to make all
distributions and loan repayments to Equity, Holding or their Affiliates
directly to Devco or Morgan, regardless of any contrary claims or demands
by Equity, Holding or any other party.  Prior to the occurrence of the
Specified Events, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit JMB's or the
Partnership's rights to deal solely with Equity and Holding (and their
successors and assigns as partners in the Partnership) with respect to any
matter relating to the Partnership.


















                                 - 5 -
           5.  JMB and the Partnership shall be entitled to act and to
rely upon any written notice, request, or other document believed by them
in good faith to have been executed by the proper party or parties, and, in
so acting and relying, neither the Partnership nor JMB shall have any duty
to investigate the genuineness, sufficiency, correctness or validity of any
such written notice, request or other document, or the identity, authority
or rights of any persons executive or depositing same.

           6.  None of the Partnership, JMB or any general or limited
partner of JMB shall have any personal liability hereunder except for gross
negligence or willful default hereunder (and then only to the extent of
their respective interests in the Partnership).

           7.  In the event of any disagreement among, or between any of,
Equity, Holding, Devco and Morgan resulting in adverse claims or demands
being made upon the Prior Parties in connection with the subject matter of
this Consent and Agreement, or in the event that any of the Prior Parties
shall be in doubt as to what action it or they should take hereunder, any
of the Prior Parties may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims,
requests, or demands made upon it, or refuse to take any other action
hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt exists, and
in any such event, none of the Prior Parties shall be or become liable in
any way or to any person for its failure or refusal so to act, and the
Prior Parties shall be entitled to continue so to refrain from acting until
(a) the rights of all parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated
in a court of competent jurisdiction, or (b) all differences shall have
been adjusted and all doubt resolved by written agreement among all the
interested persons, and the Prior Parties shall have been notified thereof
in writing by all such persons.  In the event the Prior Parties are
apprised of the existence of any pending or threatened litigation or
dispute among Equity, Holding, Devco and Morgan, or among any of them,
relating to distributions from or other payments of monies by the
Partnership or to the Pledges, then the Prior Parties may:  (a) deposit any
and all sums then or thereafter distributable or payable to Equity, Holding
or their Affiliates under the Partnership Agreement with the clerk of the
court in which the litigation is pending; and/or (b) commence an action for
an interpleader.

           8.  In the event that Devco or Morgan forecloses upon or
otherwise proceeds against the Pledges, in whole or in part, or desires to
accept an assignment of a pledged interest (in whole or in part) in lieu of
foreclosure or such other proceeding, then prior to Devco's or Morgan's
consummating such foreclosure or such other proceedings or accepting such
other assignment, Devco or Morgan, as the case may be, shall give each of
the Prior Parties notice of such assignment, foreclosure or other
proceedings, as the same may be adjourned or re-scheduled from time to
time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

                 (a) JMB's rights of first refusal set forth in Section
7.3B of the Partnership Agreement shall be applicable to any whole or
partial transfer of the Partnership interests subject to the Pledges,
whether by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, to
any party other than Devco or Morgan.

















                                 - 6 -
                 (b) In the event that Devco or Morgan desires to acquire,
in whole or in part, ownership of any of the Partnership interests which
are subject to the Pledges, whether by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, then Devco or Morgan, as appropriate, shall give
JMB and the Partnership no less than ninety (90) days prior written notice
of the date on which Devco or Morgan, as appropriate, shall acquire such
interest and, at any time prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) day
period, in lieu of Devco or Morgan acquiring such interest, JMB shall have
the right to acquire all of the Partnership interests which are subject to
the Pledges for a cash consideration equal to the then fair market value of
the Partnership interests which are subject to the Pledges (with said fair
market value to be determined by averaging the closest two of three
appraisals to be made by three independent, unaffiliated appraisers, with
one such appraiser to be selected by JMB, one such appraisers to be
selected by Morgan and the other to be selected by the appraisers chosen by
JMB and Morgan [and with said 90-day period to be extended, as necessary or
reasonably appropriate, in order for said appraisers to be selected and to
complete said appraisals and for an orderly closing to proceed
thereafter]).  JMB shall pay the costs of the appraiser selected by it,
Morgan shall pay the costs of the appraiser selected by it and JMB and
Morgan shall split the cost of the third appraiser.  In the event that JMB
acquires the pledged Partnership interests pursuant to this subparagraph
(b), then the same shall be assigned to JMB at closing free and clear of
the Pledges and of all other liens, claims and encumbrances other than
those in favor of JMB and the Partnership pursuant to Section 9.3 of the
Partnership Agreement and the Continental Rights.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, JMB acknowledges and agrees that, during the aforesaid 90-day
period, as the same may be extended in accordance with the foregoing, Devco
or Morgan may take title to the Partnership interests which JMB has the
right to acquire under this subparagraph 8(b); and in the event Devco or
Morgan shall acquire such Partnership interests, then JMB's rights shall be
to acquire such Partnership interests from Devco or Morgan pursuant to and
in accordance with the provisions of this subparagraph 8(b).

           9.  Nothing herein will entitle Devco, Morgan or any party
succeeding to their respective interests in and to the Partnership
interests which are subject to the Pledges to have any greater right or
interest in and to the Partnership than Equity's or Holding's rights,
subject to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, as a general partner of
the Partnership.  In that connection, the Partnership interests subject to
the Pledges shall, following any such transfer, remain subject to all of
the Prior Parties' rights under, pursuant to or in connection with this
Consent and Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, including, but without
limitation, JMB's and the Partnership's rights under Section 9.3 of the
Partnership Agreement and the Continental Rights.  Nothing in this Consent
and Agreement or in any of the Devco Loan Documents or Morgan Loan
Documents shall be construed as modifying, or requiring the modification
of, any existing contractual obligations of the Partnership with any "THIRD
PARTIES" (which means, individually and collectively, all parties who are
not Prior Parties, Subordinate Parties, Continental or Affiliates).



















                                 - 7 -
           10.  By their acceptance hereof, Holding, Equity, Devco and
Morgan each agree to execute such further documents as may from time to
time be reasonably requested by the Prior Parties or Continental in order
to evidence or effectuate the terms and provisions hereof (such further
documents to include, without limitation, any instrument, statements or
certificates in recordable form that evidence the fact that Devco's and
Morgan's collateral interests in the Partnership interests subject to the
Pledges are subject and subordinate to the collateral interests in such
interests held by the Prior Parties.

           11.  Except as provided herein, nothing herein shall be deemed
to modify or amend any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the
Partnership Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection
therewith and the terms and provisions of all such agreements, as affected
hereby, are hereby deemed ratified and confirmed in their entirety.  In the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of
this Consent and Agreement and those of the Partnership Agreement or of the
Devco Loan Documents or Morgan Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of
this Consent and Agreement shall prevail.

           12.  This Consent and Agreement and the terms and provisions
hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto including, but without
limitation, in the case of JMB, Continental and its nominees, successors
and assigns.  The parties acknowledge that all rights of the Prior Parties
in this Consent and Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and may be
exercised by, Continental, its nominees, successors and assigns. 
References herein to "Devco" and "Morgan", respectively, shall include
their respective successors and assigns as holders (in whole or in part) of
the lenders' interests under the Devco Documents and Morgan Loan Documents,
respectively. 


           13.  Any notice required hereunder or given pursuant hereto to
the Partnership or JMB shall be given to the Partnership and JMB at 900
North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611-1575, Attention:  Messrs.
Stuart Nathan and Robert Chapman (with copy to Pircher, Nichols & Meeks,
1999 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention:  Real
Estate Notices), and no such notice shall be deemed given to JMB or the
Partnership unless and until the same is addressed as aforesaid and
delivered to such addresses by certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, subject, however, to the right of JMB to designate

modification or amendment to the Devco Loan Documents or Morgan Loan

transactions contemplated by the Devco Loan Documents or Morgan Loan

(including, but without limitation, foreclosure of the Pledges) or (ii)
JMB's or its Affiliate's exercise of its rights or remedies under paragraph

(including, but without limitation, foreclosure of the Pledges) or (ii)
JMB's or its Affiliate's exercise of its rights or remedies under paragraph

respectively, set forth in this Consent and Agreement, including, but
without limitation, the indemnification obligations set forth in paragraph

forth in Section 9.3 of the Partnership Agreement, which pledges, as more
particularly set forth above, are prior and superior to all rights of Devco

Documents.

           22.  JMB's rights under paragraph 8 above shall not be
applicable to transfers of Partnership interests by Equity or Holding to
Affiliates thereof, where such transfers are permitted without the
requirement of JMB's consent under the Partnership Agreement and where such
transfers do not entitle JMB to the rights of first refusal thereon set
forth in Section 7.3B of the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, that
the Subordinate Parties covenant and agree that no such transfers to
Affiliates shall be made with the principal purpose of circumventing JMB's
rights under said paragraph 8 above and any such Affiliate transferees of
Partnership interests by Equity or Holding shall remain subject to JMB's
rights under said paragraph 8.  JMB shall have the right from time to time
to assign one or more of its rights under paragraph 8 above to one or more
Affiliates of JMB.

           23.  The parties acknowledge that references to Devco in
paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 of this Consent and Agreement shall not be construed
as implying that Devco has any rights to enforce obligations under the
Devco Loan Documents independently of Morgan, to the extent that Devco has
assigned such rights to Morgan; provided, however, that nothing in this
paragraph 23 shall






















                                - 11 -
be construed as limiting the Prior Parties' rights set forth in said
paragraphs 3, 7 or 8 above.

not be modified or amended without the prior written consent of
Continental.

                 Re: 245 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK, NEW YORK
                 (THE "PREMISES")

Gentlemen:

Premises (collectively, the "Loan Transactions"):

           A.    the severance of the existing first mortgage loan
                 affecting the Premises (the "Aetna Loan") held by Aetna
                 Life Insurance Company ("Aetna") (the outstanding
                 principle balance of which on the date hereof is
                 $219,201,665.47), into two portions, in the respective
                 principal amounts of $199,201,665.47 and $20,000,000,
                 pursuant to a Severance Agreement 1989 of even date
                 herewith among 245 Park Avenue Company (the "Borrower"),
                 Olympia & York 245 Lease Company, the undersigned and
                 Aetna (the "Severance Agreement");

           B.    The purchase by the Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Limited, New
                 York Branch ("DKB") of the $20,000,000 portion of the
                 Aetna Loan described above, evidenced by a note in the
                 principal amount of $20,000,000 (the " $20,000,000 Note")
                 and secured by Substitute Mortgage No.2 (as such term is
                 defined in the Severance Agreement);

           C.    The modification of the $20,000,000 Note pursuant to a
                 Modified and Restated Mortgage Note of even date herewith
                 given by the Borrower to DKB;

           D.    The purchase by DKB from Canadian Imperial Bank of

<PAGE>
                 Borrower, in the aggregate principle amount of up to
                 $29,000,000 (of which $17,000,000 is being disbursed to
                 the Borrower on the date hereof). The loans of the
                 remaining $12,000,000, which may be disbursed by DKB to
                 the Borrower pursuant to a letter agreement of even date
                 herewith between the Borrower and DKB, are referred to in
                 this letter as the "Future Loans".

           Reference also is made to a certain letter agreement dated
March 6, 1987 among the undersigned, the Borrower, Olympia & York 245 Lease
Company and you (the "Bear Stearns Letter"), and to the First Amended and
Restated Agreement of General Partnership of 245 Park Avenue Company, as
amended (the "Partnership Agreement"). All capitalized terms which are not
defined in this letter shall have their meanings set forth in the Bear
Stearns Letter.

           The undersigned and you, as general partners of the Borrower,
desire to set forth certain understandings with respect to the above
transactions. Accordingly, the undersigned and you agree as follows:

           1.    The interest rate under the $20,000,000 Note shall be
9.275% per annum (the "New Rate"). With respect to any given period, the
amount by which (i) the interest that would be payable under the
$20,000,000 Note if such interest were at the rate of 12% per annum exceeds
(ii) the sum of (A) the interest payable under the $20,000,000 Note at the
New Rate plus (B) the amount of any additional payments made by the
Partnership under Sections 7 and 8 of the New Note to the extent such
payments are not the responsibility of "Co-Partner" (as such term is
defined in the Partnership Agreement), pursuant to clause (i) of Paragraph
9 of this letter, is referred to in this letter as the "Interest Savings"
for such period.

           2.    The undersigned and you each represents and warrants to
the other that to its knowledge, the information given to DKB in a
Certificate, a copy of which is attached to this letter as Exhibit A, is
true and correct in all material respects.

           3.    The costs and expenses of closing the Loan Transactions
described above, and the commitment of facility fees charged by DKB, shall
be borne as follows:

           a.    the title insurance premium with respect to the
                 $20,000,000 Note, in the amount of $7,037, shall be paid
                 by Co-Partner and Investor (as such term is defined in
                 the Partnership Agreement), in accordance with their
                 Distributive Percentages (as defined in the Partnership
                 Agreement).























                                   2
           b.    Investor shall pay $20,000 on account of legal fees with
                 respect to the Loan Transactions.

           c.    all other closing costs and expenses (including, without
                 limitation, all other legal fees, title insurance
                 premiums and any mortgage recording taxes payable with
                 respect to the New Loans) and commitment or facility fees
                 and all other fees shall be paid by Co-Partner.  The
                 legal fees referred to in this subparagraph (c) and in
                 subparagraph (b) above shall include the fees of Messrs.
                 Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, Messrs. Pircher,
                 Nichols & Meeks, Messrs. Schulte, Roth & Zabel and
                 Messrs. Mayer, Brown & Platt. Co-Partner shall not be
                 entitled to any reimbursement from you or the Borrower
                 for costs and expenses borne by Co-Partner pursuant to
                 this paragraph (c).  In addition, by reason of its
                 payment of such costs and expenses, Co-Partner shall not
                 be entitled to any credit to its capital account in
                 Borrower that is not (or will not be offset by the
                 allocation of deductions (or a reduction in the amount of
                 gain allocated) to Co-Partner.

           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Partnership Agreement, any deductions (or reduction in gain recognized) for
income tax purposes attributable to the payment of the amounts described in
this Paragraph 3 shall be allocated between Co-Partner and Investor in
proportion to the amounts paid by each of them.

           Co-Partner shall be entitled to receive, from the next amounts
otherwise distributable to Investor under Section 3.2C of the Partnership
Agreement, an amount equal to 48.2467039% of the amount paid or to be paid
by Co-Partner for mortgage recording taxes with respect to the New Loans.

           4.    You acknowledge that the undersigned is entering into one
or more Interest Rate Swap Agreements with DKB (collectively, the "Swap
Agreements"), having a "notional amount" equal to the original principal
amount, as reduced from time to time, under the loans to be purchased or
made by DKB, including, without limitation, the Future Loans.  The
undersigned is obligated under the Swap Agreements to make certain payments
thereunder and reimburse DKB for certain costs and expenses, and neither
the Borrower nor you shall have any liability therefor.  Neither the
Borrower nor you shall have any liability for, and neither the Borrower nor
you shall be entitled to receive, any portion of any payments made under,
with respect to or on account of, the Swap Agreements or any termination
thereof.

























                                   3
           5.    You shall have the irrevocable option, exercisable not
later than December 31, 1989, to increase "Minimum Return" (as such term is
defined in the Partnership Agreement) applicable for the period from the
date hereof through October 1, 1993 by the Interest Savings for such period
(such increase to be allocated among Co-Partner and Investor in accordance
with their Distributive Percentages).  In such event, all references in the
Partnership Agreement to the Minimum Return shall refer to the Minimum
Return, as so increased, and in the definition of "Achievement Date", the
number $16,500,080 shall be increased to $17,045,080.

           6.    The proceeds of the $17,000,000 being advanced on the
date hereof will be applied on account of 245 Premises Costs shown in the
schedule set forth in Exhibit B to this letter.  Furthermore, the proceeds
of all Future Loans will be used solely for JMB Priority Distributions.

           7.    The New Loans constitute a portion of the Park Company
Loan.  The undersigned acknowledges that its obligations under the Bear
Stearns Letter with respect to the New Loans, to the extent the New Loans
are not repaid from the proceeds of a Refinancing, shall remain in full
force and effect.  The undersigned may finance additional amounts
constituting the Park Company Share in accordance with the Bear Stearns
Letter.  Nothing herein shall be construed as modifying the Bear Stearns
Letter, which is hereby ratified and confirmed in its entirety.

           8.    The undersigned represents and warrants that no documents
have or will be entered into with DKB in connection with the Loan
Transactions or the Premises, to which the Borrower is not a party, other
than (a) the Swap Agreements and any documents ancillary thereto, and (b) a
subordination agreement under which Olympia & York 245 Lease Company will
subordinate its interests to the liens of certain mortgages to be held by
DKB.

           9.    Co-Partner shall be solely responsible for (i) the
payment of all amounts described in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the $20,000,000
Note to the extent that the sum of (A) such amounts and (B) interest under
the $20,000,000 Note at the New Rate exceeds $2,000,000 during any year and
for each such year (with appropriate prorations for partial years) and (ii)
the payment of all amounts described in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of the notes
evidencing the New Loans.  By reason of the payments borne by Co-Partner
pursuant to this Paragraph 9, Co-Partner shall no be entitled to (i) any
reimbursement from you or the Borrower or (ii) any credit to its capital
account in the Borrower that is not (or will not be) offset by the
allocation of deductions (or a reduction in the amount of gain allocated)
to Co-Partner.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Partnership Agreement, any deductions (or reduction in gain

























                                   4
recognized) for income tax purposes attributable to payments which Co-
Partner has made pursuant to this Section 9 shall be allocated to Co-
Partner.

           10.   Notwithstanding your or the Borrower's execution and
delivery of this letter or of any documents evidencing the Loan
Transactions, we understand and agree that you (acting either for yourself
or on behalf of the Borrower) have reserved the right to audit, contest
and/or request further information with respect to any items comprising or
allegedly comprising 245 Premises Costs (including, without limitation,
items shown in Exhibit B) and that your execution and delivery of the
documents evidencing the Loan Transactions shall not be construed as a
waiver of your rights in respect of any such audit, contest or request.

           11.   Copies of the certificates given by Investor to DKB
pursuant to clause (iii) of Part C, Section 1(f) of the mortgages securing
the $20,000,000 Note and the notes evidencing the New Loans shall
simultaneously be delivered to Co-Partner.

           12.   The partners of the Borrower hereby confirm their present
intention to refinance the Future Loans and all other mortgage indebtedness
that will encumber the Premises following the consummation of the Loan
Transactions, on or before October 1, 1993.

           This letter (i) contains the entire agreement of the
undersigned and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, (ii) shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York, (iii) may not be modified or terminated, nor may any provision
hereof be waived, except in a writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any modification, termination or waiver is sought, (iv)
shall not be deemed to be for the benefit of any third party, and (v) shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and you, and the
respective successors and assigns of the undersigned and you.  As
supplemented hereby, the Partnership Agreement is ratified and confirmed in
its entirety.

           Please indicate your agreement to the provisions of this letter
by signing a counterpart hereof in the space provided below. 

                            Very truly yours,
