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
      quarter and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 1995,
      property management fees of $2,140,676 were deferred.

      Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates
      for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 are:

               (A)  These commissions payable to the General Partners have
               been subordinated in accordance with the Partnership
               Agreement.

      The General Parners are entitled to 8% of Net Cash Receipts
      available for distribution, subject to certain subordination levels
      following the termination of the offering, which from the inception
      of the offering through September 30, 1995 total approximately
      $4,161,000, all of which is subordinated.

3)    Subsequent Event

      In October 1995, the Partnership paid $1,603,355 to the
      Limited Partners representing the quarterly distribution for the
      third quarter of 1995.

                    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 September 30,
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

No material events occurred during 1995 or 1994 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 management fees increased during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in
1994. Rental income increased significantly in Georgia and decreased
slightly in Texas and New Mexico.  All other areas increased slightly.

Interest income from short-term investments increased during the nine 
months ended September 30, 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
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods 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 and nine months ended September
30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.  Maintenance expenses
increased due to an increase in non-capitalized repairs 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.

Increases in professional fees resulted in an increase in general and 
administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995
as compared to the same periods in 1994.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash position of the Partnership decreased from December 31, 1994, to
September 30, 1995, primarily due to the payment of a special distribution
to Limited Partners in April 1995.  

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, 1995, the General Partner's share of Net
Cash Receipts totaled approximately $4,161,000, none of which has been
paid.  The General Partners are entitled to receive such subordinated
amounts only from distributed Net Cash Proceeds.

In October 1995, the Partnership paid $1,603,355 ($5.79 per Interest) 
to the Limited Partners representing the quarterly distribution for the 
third quarter of 1995. To date, the Partnership has distributed $182.27 
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 $5.47 per Interest for
the second quarter of 1995 to $5.79 per Interest for the third 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.
