Independent
Auditors' Report



To The Partners
of
Taxter Park Associates
We  have  audited the accompanying balance
sheets of  Taxter Park Associates
(the  "Partnership") as of December 31, 1999 and
1998,  and the  related  statements of income,
partners'  capital,  and cash  flows for each of
the three years in the period  ended December
31,  1999.  These  financial  statements  are
the responsibility of  the  Partnership's
management.    Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on
these  financial statements based on our audits.

We   conducted  our  audits  in  accordance
with  generally accepted  auditing standards.
Those standards require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about  whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the amounts  and  disclosures  in  the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management,  as  well  as
evaluating the  overall  financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Taxter Park Associates as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results
of  its operations and its cash flows for each
of the  three years  in  the period ended
December 31, 1999 in  conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   TAXTER PARK ASSOCIATES
          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   Organization

Taxter  Park  Associates the ("Partnership") was
formed  in 1986  under  the laws of the State of
New York,  to  acquire interests  in  the
Taxter  Corporate  Park  in  Westchester County,
New  York.  The buildings consist  of  344,741
net rentable  square  feet.  The property is not
encumbered  by debt.

The  general  partners of the Partnership  are
Dean  Witter Realty  Income  Partnership II,
L.P.  (14.8%),  Dean  Witter Realty  Income
Partnership III, L.P. (44.6%) and Dean Witter
Realty Income Partnership IV, L.P. (40.6%).

The  Partnership  Agreement provides  that  all
cash  flow, profits,  losses  and  credits of
the Partnership  shall  be allocated  in
proportion to the Partners' original  capital
contributions.

The joint venture expects to sell the property
in 2000.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The  Partnership's  records are maintained  on
the  accrual basis   of  accounting  for
financial  reporting  and   tax purposes.   The
preparation  of  financial  statements   in
conformity  with  generally accepted  accounting
principles requires  management to make
estimates and assumptions  that affect  the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities  and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the  date of  the  financial  statements and
the reported  amounts  of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting period.   Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

The  carrying  value  of real estate includes
the  purchase price  paid  by  the  Partnership
and acquisition  fees  and expenses.   Costs  of
improvements to  the  properties  are
capitalized,  and  repairs  are expensed.
Depreciation  is recorded on the straight-line
method.
At  least annually, and more often if
circumstances dictate, the  Partnership
evaluates the recoverability  of  the  net
carrying  value  of its real estate and any
related  assets. As  part of this evaluation,
the Partnership assesses, among other  things,
whether there has been a significant decrease in
the market value of any of its properties.  If
events or circumstances  indicate that the net
carrying  value  of  a property  may  not be
recoverable, the expected  future  net cash
flows from the property are estimated for a
period  of approximately five years (or a <PAGE>
shorter  period if the Partnership expects that
the property may  be  disposed  of  sooner),
along with  estimated  sales proceeds  at the
end of the period.  If the total  of  these
future  undiscounted cash flows were less than
the  carrying amount  of the property, the
property would be written  down to  its  fair
value as determined (in some cases  with  the
assistance  of  outside  real estate
consultants)  based  on discounted  cash flows,
and a loss on impairment  recognized by a charge
to earnings.

Because  the  determination of  fair  value  is
based  upon projections  of  future  economic
events  such  as  property occupancy rates,
rental rates, operating cost inflation  and
market capitalization rates which are inherently
subjective, the  amounts ultimately realized at
disposition  may  differ materially  from the
net carrying value as of  December  31, 1999.
The cash flows used to evaluate the
recoverability  of the  assets  and to determine
fair value are based  on  good faith  estimates
and assumptions developed by  the  Managing
General Partner.  Unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur  and  some assumptions
may not materialize;  therefore actual results
may vary from the estimates and the variances
may  be  material.   The Partnership may provide
additional write-downs, which could be material,
in subsequent years if real estate markets or
local economic conditions change.

Deferred   leasing  commissions  are  amortized
over the
applicable lease terms.

Rental  income is accrued on a straight-line
basis over  the terms  of the leases.  Accruals
in excess of amounts payable by  tenants
pursuant to their leases (resulting  from  rent
concessions  or rents which periodically
increase  over  the term of a lease) are
recorded as receivables and included in other
assets.

Cash  and cash equivalents consist of cash and
highly liquid investments with maturities, when
purchased, of three months or less.

No provision for income taxes has been made in
the financial statements since the liability for
such taxes is that of the partners rather than
the Partnership.

The  accounting  policies used for  tax
reporting  purposes differ  from those used for
financial reporting as  follows: (a)
depreciation  is calculated using accelerated
methods; (b)  rental income is recognized based
on the payment  terms in the applicable leases;
(c) payments made by the seller of the  property
in prior years under a rental income  guaranty
were
<PAGE>

accounted  for  as  rental income; and  (d)
writedowns  for impairment of real estate are
not deductible.  The tax basis of the
Partnership's assets and liabilities is
approximately $20  million  higher than the
amount reported for  financial statement
purposes.

3.  Lease Commitments

Minimum  future rental income under
noncancellable operating leases as of December
31, 1999 is as follows:

          Year ending December 31:
               2000                  4,427,923
               2001                  2,876,074
               2002                  1,983,000
               2003                    401,676
               2004                    540,852
               Thereafter            1,086,577

         Total               $11,316,102

The  Partnership has determined that all leases
relating  to the property are operating leases.
The terms range from two to  ten years, and
generally provide for fixed minimum rents with
rental escalation and/or expense reimbursement
clauses.

4.  Related Party Transactions

An affiliate of the partners co-managed the
buildings at the property until December 31,
1998.  The Partnership paid  the affiliate
management  fees  of approximately  $175,700
and $179,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively, for
such services.
