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

       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, 1996, property management fees of $1,991,890 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 in 1989, one facility in 1990 and two facilities in
1993.  As of March 31, 1996 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 1995 for a more complete understanding of the
Partnership's financial position.

Operations

Summary of Operations

Increases in rental revenues were offset by increases in administrative expenses
and property management fees resulting in a decrease in net income during the 
first quarter of 1996 as compared to the first quarter of 1995.  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.

1996 Compared to 1995

Due to an overall increase in rental rates at the Partnership's mini-warehouse 
facilities, rental income increased during the first quarter of 1996 as compared
to the first quarter of 1995. Rental income increased significantly in the 
Dallas/Fort Worth, Georgia and Carolina regions (seven, six and eight percent, 
respectively) and decreased slightly in the East and West Texas regions (one and
three percent, respectively).

Interest income from short term investments decreased during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of a
decrease in amounts available for investment.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the full 6% management fee was 
recognized for the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to the Limited Partners
receipt of distributions equal to 10% of Adjusted Original Capital during the 
twelve month period ended March 31, 1996.  The additional 3% fee was not earned 
during the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The recognition of the additional
management fee was the primary reason property management fees increased for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995.

Higher payroll and supply expenses resulted in an increase in general and
administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the
first quarter of 1995. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash position of the Partnership decreased approximately $1,013,000 from 
December 31, 1995, to March 31, 1996.  The Partnership's cash flow provided by 
operating activities of  approximately $796,000 in the first quarter of 1996 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 and the payment of additional property management fees 
and Partnership incentive management fees for 1995, as discussed below.  Cash 
flow of approximately $58,000 was used in investing activities to make capital 
improvements to the properties, which included door and roofing expenditures, 
and in financing activities to provide distributions to the Limited and General 
Partners of approximately $1,757,000.

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.  From the 
inception of the offering through March 31, 1996, the General Partner's share 
of Net Cash Receipts totaled approximately $4,293,000 of which $545,167 was 
paid to the General Partners in February, 1996 ($477,021 of incentive 
management fees and $68,146 as its distributive share of Net Cash Receipts).
The General Partners are entitled to receive subordinated amounts only from
distributed Net Cash Proceeds.  

The General Partners' current strategy is to continue to operate the 
Partnership's properties in a manner to maximize cash flow and to provide the 
Limited Partners with regular quarterly distributions.  A further objective is 
to maximize the price at which the properties may ultimately be sold.  
Occasionally, the General Partners receive unsolicited inquiries to purchase the
Partnership's properties, and currently there has been strong interest from 
institutional purchasers of mini-warehouse facilities.  The General Partners 
will continue to evaluate all offers and explore other alternatives in order to 
achieve the objectives and maximize return to the Limited Partners.

In April 1996, the Partnership paid $1,730,738 ($6.25 per Interest) to the
Limited Partners representing the quarterly distribution for the first
quarter of 1996.  Including the April 1996 distribution, the Partnership has 
distributed $194.62 per $250 Interest.  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 $6.10 per 
Interest for the fourth quarter of 1995 to $6.25 per Interest for the first
quarter of 1996 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.
