1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
       presentation have been made to the accompanying statements for the
       three months ended March 31, 1995, 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 Colonial Storage 85, Inc., 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 March 31, 1995, property management fees of $1,991,890 were
       deferred.

       Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates
       for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 are:

                                                   Paid            Payable

                    Partners have been subordinated in accordance
                    with the Partnership Agreement.



3)     Subsequent Event

       In April 1995, the Partnership paid $2,115,654 to the Limited
       Partners, $1,462,127 of which represents the quarterly distribution
       for the first quarter of 1995 and $653,527 represents a distribution
       of sales proceeds.

                      (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 in
1989, one facility in 1990 and two facilities in 1993. As of March 31, 1995
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
1994 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial
position.

Operations

Summary of Operations

Rental revenues and interest income increased slightly resulting in an
increase in net income during the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the
first quarter of 1994.  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.

1995 Compared to 1994

Due to increases in rental rates at certain of the mini-warehouse
facilities, particularly those located in Georgia, rental income and
therefore, property managment fees increased during the first quarter of
1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1995. Rental income increased
significantly in Georgia and decreased slightly in Texas.  All other areas
increased slightly.

Interest income from short term investments increased during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 due to an
increase in interest rates and amounts available for investment.

Interest income from mortgage notes receivable decreased during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994, due to a
decrease in the average balance outstanding on such notes. 

Higher maintenance costs and real estate taxes resulted in an increase in
property operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.  Maintenance expenses increased due to
higher expenditures related to the ongoing maintenance program. Real estate
tax expense increased due to increases in property values at certain of the
Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities for 1995.  

Higher supply expenses resulted in an increase in general and
administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the
first quarter of 1994. 


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash position of the Partnership increased from December 31, 1994, to
March 31, 1995.  The Partnership's cash flow provided by operating
activities in the first quarter of 1995 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 were partially offset by administrative
expenses.  This cash flow was used in investing activities to make capital
improvements to the properties, which included painting, security, door and
configuration expenditures, and in financing activities to provide
distributions to the Limited Partners.

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 (See note 1(c) of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information).  From the inception of
the offering through March 31, 1995, the General Partner's share of Net
Cash Receipts totaled approximately $3,895,000, none of which has been
paid.  The General Partners are entitled to receive such subordinated
amounts only from distributed Net Cash Proceeds.

In April 1995, the Partnership paid $1,462,127 ($5.28 per Interest) to the
Limited Partners representing the quarterly distribution for the first
quarter of 1995. Additionally, the Partnership paid $653,527 ($2.36 per
Interest) to the Limited Partners representing a distribution of sales
proceeds. To date, the Partnership has distributed $171.01 per $250
Interest. The net cash receipts 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 $4.94 per Interest for
the third and fourth quarters of 1994 to $5.28 per Interest for the first
quarter of 1995 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.
