       In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
       presentation have been made to the accompanying statements for the
       nine months ended September 30, 1994, and all such adjustments are of
       a normal and recurring nature.


2)     Transactions with Affiliates
       The Partnership has an agreement with Colonial Storage Management 85,
       Inc., an affiliate of a General Partner, to supervise and direct the
       business and affairs associated with the mini-warehouse facilities for
       a fee of 6% of the gross revenues of the facilities.  One-half of this
       property management fee is subordinated to receipt by the Limited
       Partners of a Special Distribution of 8% during the first twelve-
       month period after termination of the offering, 9% during the second
       twelve-month period, and 10% during each 12-month period thereafter. 
       Any deferred portion of the property management fee will be paid only
       from distributed Net Cash Proceeds.  As of September 30, 1994,
       property management fees of $1,920,979 were deferred.

                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Balcor/Colonial Storage Income Fund - 85 (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership formed in September 1983.  The principal purpose of the
Partnership is to acquire, own, maintain, operate, lease and hold for
capital appreciation and current income existing mini-warehouse facilities
offering storage space for business and personal use.  The Partnership
raised $69,229,500 through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and
utilized these proceeds to acquire 69 mini-warehouse facilities from
affiliates in 1985 and 4 mini-warehouse facilities from non-affiliated
entities in 1986.  The Partnership sold one mini-warehouse facility each in
September 1989 and January 1990 and two mini-warehouse facilities in July
1993.  As of September 30, 1994 the Partnership continues to operate 69
mini-warehouse facilities.  

Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates
primarily to the time period since the end of the last fiscal year,
investors are encouraged to review the financial statements and the
management's discussion and analysis contained in the annual report for
1993 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial
position.

Operations
Summary of Operations

Increased rental revenues resulting from an ongoing capital improvement
program and improved market conditions in cities where many of the
Partnership's properties are located were the primary reasons for the
increase in the net income generated by the Partnership during the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993.  No material events
occurred during these periods which significantly impacted the net income
of the Partnership.  Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

1994 Compared to 1993

Due to increases in occupancy levels and rental rates at certain of the
mini-warehouse facilities, particularly those located in Georgia, the
Carolinas and the southwest regions, rental income and, correspondingly,
property management fees increased for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1993.  

Interest income on short-term investments increased due to an increase in
interest rates and funds available for investment.

Interest income from mortgage notes receivable increased from 1993 to 1994
primarily due to interest payments received on the mortgage notes which
were received by the Partnership in connection with the 1993 sale of two
mini-warehouse properties. 

Lower maintenance costs and real estate taxes resulted in a decrease in
property operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as
compared to the same period in 1993.  Maintenance expenses decreased due to
a decrease in general maintenance during the first nine months of 1994. 
Real estate tax expense decreased due to adjustments in property values at
certain of the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities during 1993.

Higher payroll costs resulted in an increase in general and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the
same period in 1993.  Lower printing costs partially offset this increase 
and caused a decrease in administrative expenses for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.

In July 1993 the Partnership sold two mini-warehouse facilities located in
Albuquerque, New Mexico and recognized a loss on sale of property and
equipment during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cash or near cash position of the Partnership increased from
December 31, 1993 to September 30, 1994. The Partnership's cash flow
provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 1994 was
generated primarily by the operations of the mini-warehouse properties,
interest income received on the Partnership's short term investments and
interest income received on mortgage notes receivable, which was partially
offset by administrative expenses.  This cash flow was used in investing
activities to make capital improvements to the properties, which included
painting, roofing and paving expenditures, and in financing activities to
provide distributions to the Limited Partners.  The Partnership's cash
position was further increased by repayment of one of the mortgage notes
receivable.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners are entitled to
8% of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution, which is subordinated
to the receipt by Limited Partners of specified distribution levels
following the termination of the offering.  From the inception of the
offering through September 30, 1994, the General Partners' share of Net
Cash Receipts totaled approximately $3,656,000, none of which has been
paid.  The General Partners are entitled to receive such subordinated
amounts only from distributed Net Cash Proceeds after certain subordination
levels are met.

In October 1994, the Partnership paid $1,367,975 ($4.94 per Interest) to
the Limited Partners, representing the quarterly distribution for the third
quarter of 1994.  This distribution amount is less than the full Special
Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of ten percent per
annum.  As stated in the Partnership Agreement, any deficiency in the
Special Distribution is payable from distributed Net Cash Proceeds.  The
General Partners believe the cash flow generated from property operations
should enable the Partnership to continue making quarterly distributions to
Limited Partners.  However, the level of future cash distributions to
Limited Partners will be dependent upon the amount of cash flow generated
by the Partnership's properties, as to which there can be no assurance. 
Quarterly distributions increased from $4.63 per Interest for the first and
second quarters of 1994 to $4.94 per Interest for the third quarter of 1994
due to improved operating results at several of the Partnership's mini-
warehouse facilities.  The General Partners intend to retain on behalf of
the Partnership cash reserves deemed adequate to meet working capital
requirements as they may arise.

Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real
estate investments.  Short-term inflation can increase real estate
operating costs which may or may not be recovered through increased rents
and/or sales prices, depending on general or local economic conditions.  In
the long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and
replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate
values.
