2.   Other

     Reference is made to the financial statements in the Annual
     Report filed as part of the Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1995 with respect to significant accounting and
     financial reporting policies as well as to other pertinent
     information concerning the Partnership.  Information furnished
     in this report reflects all normal recurring adjustments which
     are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
     presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. 
     Further, the operating results presented for these interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which
     may occur for the remaining nine months of 1996 or any other
     future period.

     The financial information included in this interim report as
     of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31,
     1996 and 1995 has been prepared by management without audit by
     independent certified public accountants who do not express an
     opinion thereon. The Partnership's annual report includes
     audited financial statements.

3.   Commitment

     On March 30, 1995, a twelve-year lease was signed with
     Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. (HFS), the major subtenant
     at the Ramada property, for the ten-story building which
     contains approximately 100,000 square feet.  Upon execution of
     this lease, HFS contributed $3,000,000 to be used toward the
     cost of improvements to the property.  The total cost of
     improvements, lease commissions and other renovations will be
     approximately $5 million.  The Partnership shall pay
     approximately $2 million of these costs to be funded from the
     working capital reserve.  Through March 31, 1996, the
     Partnership has incurred no costs related to its commitment
     for improvements.  Improvements are estimated to be
     substantially complete in August 1996.

    Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
               Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had cash of $85,819 and
temporary investments of $12,906,613.  These funds were held in the
working capital reserve for the payment of obligations of the
Partnership.  Accounts receivable consisted of amounts due from
tenants.  Deferred charges and other assets included primarily
deferred rent resulting from recognition of income as required by
generally accepted accounting principles and lease commissions. 
Accounts payable included amounts due to affiliates for
reimbursable expenses and management fees, and amounts payable to
third parties for expenses incurred for operations.  Accrued
expenses and other liabilities consisted primarily of prepaid rent
and a deposit held as a contribution toward tenant improvement
costs.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership
distributed $418,309 to Limited Partners and $4,225 to the General
Partner for a total of $422,534.  Due to the expiration of the
Hughes lease in August 1996 and the commencement of the lease with
Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. (HFS) in 1995, tenant
improvements and lease commissions will be required at both
Parkview Plaza and Ramada, and will be funded from the
Partnership's working capital reserve.  Based on current
projections, distributions to Partners will be reduced beginning
with the May 1996 distribution.

The $11,000,000 mortgage on Curlew Crossing matured March 31, 1996. 
The lender, USAA Real Estate Company (the Adviser), has agreed to
renew the loan for a period of two years at a reduced rate of 8.25%
to reflect market rates at the time of maturity.  The loan will be
payable monthly, interest only, with the principal due March 31,
1998.

The Parkview Plaza mortgage loan matures on August 31, 1996.  Prior
to loan maturity, management plans to pursue alternative financing
with third-party lenders; however, if third-party financing is not
obtained, it is anticipated that the loan will be refinanced by an
affiliate of the General Partner.

Through March 31, 1996, the Partnership has incurred no costs
related to its commitment to fund approximately $2 million of
improvements for HFS.  Substantial completion of the improvements
is projected to occur in August 1996, and these costs will be
funded from the Partnership's working capital reserve.

Future liquidity is expected to result from cash generated from
operations of the properties, interest on temporary investments and
ultimately through the sale of the properties.

Results of Operations

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, income
was generated from rental income from the income-producing real
estate properties and interest income earned on the funds in
temporary investments.

Expenses incurred during the same periods were associated with the
operation of the Partnership's properties, interest on the
mortgages payable and various other costs required for
administration of the Partnership.

Rental income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996
increased compared to the same period ended March 31, 1995 due to
the write-down of a deferred rent receivable on Parkview Plaza in
1993.  Rental income is recognized under the operating method,
whereby aggregate rentals are reported on a straight-line basis as
income over the life of the lease.  The deferred rent receivable
remaining after the original maturity date of the mortgage loan
(March 31, 1995) with Sakura Bank was written off in 1993;
therefore, income recognized after March 31, 1995 is actual rent
received. 

Direct expenses decreased for the three-month period ended March
31, 1996 as compared to the same period ended March 31, 1995 due to
a decrease in rent tax at Ramada.  

Interest income increased as a result of a higher cash balance for
the first three months of 1996 as compared to the first three
months of 1995.

General and administrative expenses increased for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period ended
March 31, 1995 primarily due to amortization expense related to
lease commissions at Ramada paid upon the execution of the lease
with Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. in 1995.  The management
fee is based on cash flow from operations of the Partnership
adjusted for cash reserves and fluctuated accordingly.

The decrease in interest expense at March 31, 1996 as compared to
March 31, 1995 reflected the decrease in the interest rate charged
on the Parkview Plaza loan.  The interest rate on the Parkview
Plaza mortgage loan is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) and changes in interest expense for this mortgage were a
result of changes in LIBOR.
