                               ----------------

                           PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT

                               ----------------

              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING WHITEHALL TRANSACTION

   This Proxy Statement Supplement is being furnished to you by McNeil
Partners, L.P., the general partner of the Partnership, to inform you of recent
developments which have occurred in connection with the Whitehall transaction
described in the Proxy Statement and Proxy Statement Supplement previously
mailed to you. This Proxy Statement Supplement is first being mailed to limited
partners of the Partnership on or about January 25, 2000.

      THE PER UNIT AGGREGATE AMOUNT WHICH LIMITED PARTNERS ARE EXPECTED TO
   RECEIVE IN THE WHITEHALL TRANSACTION HAS BEEN INCREASED TO $105 PER UNIT.

   McNeil Partners is pleased to inform you that if the Whitehall transaction
closes you will receive an aggregate of $105 in cash (including the amount of
the special distribution) for each of your limited partner units in the
Partnership. Prior to this increase in the estimated per unit aggregate amount,
limited partners of the Partnership were expected to receive an aggregate of
approximately $92 in cash per unit, consisting of cash merger consideration of
$62 per unit and an estimated special distribution of $30 per unit.

              YOU ARE URGED TO VOTE FOR THE WHITEHALL TRANSACTION

   On or about January 14, 2000, Bond Purchase, L.L.C. ("Bond Purchase")
commenced an unsolicited tender offer for any or all of the outstanding limited
partner units in the Partnership at a price of $100 per unit. The increased
consideration being offered in the Whitehall transaction as described in this
Proxy Statement Supplement is in response to such tender offer. The new
aggregate amount to be paid in the Whitehall transaction represents a 14%
increase over the original Whitehall transaction amount and a 5% premium over
the amount offered by Bond Purchase.

   After being notified of the increased price that would be paid in the
Whitehall transaction, the special committee, through its counsel, contacted
Bond Purchase by telephone to inquire whether Bond Purchase was willing to
increase its tender offer price, and asked Bond Purchase to address the special
committee's previously-expressed concerns regarding the Bond Purchase offer. In
particular, the special committee requested that Bond Purchase consider
providing financial statements in support of its offer. During the telephone
conversation, the representative of Bond Purchase declined to address any of
the special committee's concerns and declined to state whether Bond Purchase
would increase its tender offer price. A complete description of the special
committee's communications with Bond Purchase and its reasoning for
recommending rejection of the Bond Purchase offer are set forth in the Schedule
14D-9 enclosed herewith. Limited partners are urged to consider the information
set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 in its entirety.

   Of the $13 in increased consideration to be received in respect of the
limited partnership units in the Partnership, WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. will fund
an additional $5 in merger consideration (which will be in addition to the
amounts allocated by Stanger & Co. in respect of the limited partnership units
in the Partnership), and McNeil Partners will make a capital contribution to
the Partnership in an amount equal to $8 per unit (which amount will not be
returned to McNeil Partners).

   The special committee and the McNeil Investors board of directors each
continues to believe that the Whitehall transaction is fair to, and in the best
interests of, the Partnership and its limited partners. Accordingly, the McNeil
Investors board of directors continues to recommend that you vote your units
FOR the Whitehall transaction by voting FOR the merger proposal and FOR the
adjournment proposal described in the Proxy Statement.

   In addition, even if you have tendered your limited partner units in the
Bond Purchase offer, we urge you to complete, date, sign and promptly return a
proxy voting FOR the merger proposal and FOR the adjournment proposal.

   This Proxy Statement Supplement is furnished by McNeil Partners in
connection with the meeting of the limited partners of the Partnership
described above and should be read together with the Proxy Statement dated

                             McNeil Partners, L.P.
                        13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, LB70
                              Dallas, Texas 75240

                                                                January 25, 2000

To the Limited Partners of McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P.:

   We are sending you this letter to inform you of several recent developments
with respect to the Partnership.

   As you undoubtedly know, on June 24, 1999, McNeil Partners, L.P. (the
General Partner of the Partnership) and WXI/McN Realty L.L.C., an affiliate of
Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited Partnership XI, a real estate investment
fund managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., entered into an acquisition agreement
whereby the Whitehall affiliate will acquire by merger nineteen real estate
limited partnerships operated by McNeil Partners and Robert A. McNeil,
including the Partnership. This transaction is described in detail in the Proxy
Statement first mailed to limited partners on or about December 14, 1999 and
supplemented on or about January 13, 2000.

   If the Whitehall transaction closes limited partners would receive an
aggregate amount (including the special distribution) of $105 in cash for each
of their limited partner units in the Partnership. This amount is a $13 per
unit increase over the estimated per unit aggregate amount previously set forth
in the Proxy Statement. Enclosed is a second supplement to the Proxy Statement
which describes this increase in price as well as the recent developments
described below. You are urged to consider carefully the information set forth
in the enclosed Proxy Statement Supplement.

   On or about January 14, 2000, Bond Purchase, L.L.C. commenced an unsolicited
tender offer for any or all of the outstanding limited partner units in the
Partnership at a price of $100 per unit. The special committee, in consultation
with its legal and financial advisors, has reviewed the Bond Purchase offer and
has determined that such offer does not constitute an acquisition proposal
superior to the Whitehall transaction with respect to the Partnership.
Accordingly, the special committee and the McNeil Investors board of directors
urge you not to tender your units in the Bond Purchase offer. The reasons for
the special committee's determination are set forth in the enclosed Schedule
14D-9. You are urged to consider the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-
9 in its entirety.

   If you have tendered your units in the Bond Purchase offer, you are urged to
complete, date, sign and promptly return to McNeil Partners the enclosed YELLOW
Notice of Withdrawal that is enclosed with the Schedule 14D-9.

   If you held limited partner units in the Partnership as of December 10,
1999, whether or not you have tendered your limited partner units in the Bond
Purchase offer, we urge you to mark the enclosed proxy FOR the Merger Proposal
and FOR the Adjournment Proposal and then sign, date and promptly return the
proxy to McNeil Partners.

   I thank you for your continued support and consideration of these matters.

                                          McNeil Partners, L.P.
                                          By: McNeil Investors, Inc., its
                                          General Partner

                                          /s/ Ron K. Taylor

                                          Ron K. Taylor
                                          President

             Limited partners with questions are encouraged to call
  the Investor Services department of McNeil Partners, L.P. at 1-800-576-7907.
