FELLOW PARTNERS:

As you know from our letter dated April 15, 1997, we signed
purchase and sale agreements on April 11 with Glenborough Realty
Trust Incorporated for the sale of all Fund properties at a
contract sales price of $30.4 million before selling expenses.
Glenborough is a real estate investment trust whose shares are
publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. We also closed
on the sale of AMCC in January and on South Point Plaza in
April, after the end of the reporting period. The disposition of
two other properties, Bonnie Lane and Glenn Avenue, discussed in
our last report, did not go through as originally planned.
However, they are included in the pending sale to Glenborough,
which will liquidate the Fund's real estate portfolio if
consummated.

    These developments are in keeping with our previously announced intention
to shift our emphasis from the production of income to the strategic
positioning of Fund properties to maximize potential sales proceeds. In order
for the Fund to complete the sale of its properties to Glenborough, a
majority in interest of limited partners must consent to the transactions
through a consent solicitation vote, which we expect to take place in late
June or sometime in July. As we cautioned in our letter of April 15, this
sale is subject to further due diligence by Glenborough, which could result
in changes to the properties in the transaction, the sales proceeds to be
received, or the cancellation of the sale. It is possible that the Fund may
not be liquidated this year if the sale falls through.
    It is worth mentioning again some of our reasons for accepting
Glenborough's offer:

o   The offer represents more than 100% of the property valuations used in
    our last estimated unit value and is substantially more per unit on an
    adjusted basis than two recent tender offers from unaffiliated third
    parties, which ranged from approximately 40% to 75% of the estimated
    valuation.

o   Selling the properties in bulk will reduce transaction and operating
    expenses and allow for a more accelerated return of principal to
    investors than the original disposition plan, which contemplated a
    gradual return of capital over the next 13 to 21 months.

o   There is no financing contingency, and Glenborough's financial resources
    appear adequate to consummate the transaction.

Cash Distributions

The Fund made a distribution representing 100% of the Fund's proceeds from
the sale of AMCC to limited partners of record on March 31, 1997. Proceeds
from the sale of South Point Plaza were distributed separately in May to
limited partners as of April 30, 1997. Deducting the AMCC distribution of
$93.50 and the South Point Plaza distribution of $17.28 from the December
1996 adjusted estimated unit value of $471 results in $360. Pending the
completion of the sale to Glenborough, the Fund has suspended cash
distributions from operations. Assuming all properties are sold during the
next few months, the Fund plans to accrue for anticipated closing costs and
then make a liquidating cash distribution. Based on the negotiated sale price
and other information currently available, we expect total future
distributions to exceed the figure mentioned above. 

Results of Operations

Net income of $572,000 for the first three months of 1997 was $37,000 less
than for the comparable 1996 period. The absence of operating income from
Regal Row after its sale last year, and from AMCC after its sale in January,
resulted in a decrease in income from operations of $197,000. However, this
was substantially offset by increased income from operations at Oakbrook
Corners, Bonnie Lane, and Glenn Avenue. The increased average leased status
along with lower depreciation expense at Oakbrook Corners and Bonnie Lane
resulted in the higher income at these properties, while higher rental rates
and tenant reimbursements fueled the gain at Glenn Avenue. Fund expenses rose
during the past three months, primarily as a result of necessary costs
incurred in responding to the recent tender offers for partnership units.
    At the property level, we signed new, renewal, and expansion leases for
about 3% of the portfolio's square footage. However, leases representing
approximately 3% of the portfolio expired. The net result was only a minimal
change in the leased status of Fund properties since December, but there was
an improvement of six percentage points in average leased status over the
comparable 1996 period because of improved leasing activity. 
    The increase in the Fund's cash position compared with the same period
in 1996 resulted from proceeds received from the disposition of AMCC. 

Outlook

Our reasons for wanting to liquidate the Fund's portfolio while the real
estate market is strengthening are unchanged. As mentioned previously, our
primary goal is to take advantage of rising property values as the Fund nears
the end of its planned lifespan. Real estate markets have been improving
during the past few years, and we have used this opportunity to capture
higher prices for our investors. Rising real estate values could eventually
lead to an increased supply of new properties, resulting in softer prices
some time later. This is a normal pattern as the real estate cycle runs its
course.
    No one can forecast precisely when prices will reach their peak, and it
is possible that by selling Fund properties now we might miss further
advances later on. However, demand from tenants and investors is currently
very strong, causing the supply of properties to grow in many markets. We
believe it is prudent to sell into strength while prices are still advancing.
    It is critical that you promptly read the consent solicitation materials
and return the card as soon as you receive them, so that we can minimize Fund
expenses and implement the orderly liquidation of your investment.
    Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

James S. Riepe
Chairman

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
    The unaudited interim financial information contained in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the
1996 Annual Report to Partners.

NOTE 1 - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND OTHER

As compensation for services rendered in managing the affairs of the
Partnership, the General Partner earns a partnership management fee equal
to 9% of net operating proceeds. The General Partner earned a partnership
management fee of $57,000 during the first three months of 1997.
    In accordance with the partnership agreement, certain operating
expenses are reimbursable to the General Partner. The General Partner's
reimbursement of such expenses totaled $37,000 for communications and
administrative services performed on behalf of the Partnership during the
first three months of 1997.
    An affiliate of the General Partner earned a normal and customary fee
of $5,000 from the money market mutual funds in which the Partnership made
its interim cash investments during the first three months of 1997.
    LaSalle Advisors Limited Partnership ("LaSalle") is the Partnership's
advisor and is compensated for its advisory services directly by the
General Partner. LaSalle is reimbursed by the Partnership for certain
operating expenses pursuant to its contract with the Partnership to
provide real estate advisory, accounting and other related services to the
Partnership. LaSalle's reimbursement for such expenses during the first
three months of 1997 totaled $38,000.
    An affiliate of LaSalle earned $31,000 in the first three months of
1997 for property management fees and leasing commissions on tenant
renewals and extensions for several of the Partnership's properties.

NOTE 2 - REAL ESTATE PROPERTY INVESTMENTS

On January 23, 1997, the AMCC property was sold and the Partnership
received net proceeds of $7,863,000. The net book value of the
Partnership's interest in this property at the date of disposition was
also $7,863,000, after accumulated depreciation expense and previously
recorded property valuation allowances. Therefore, no gain or loss was
recognized on the property sale. Results of operations for this property
during the first quarter of 1997 include a $95,000 recovery of property
value prior to its sale.
    In April 1997, South Point Plaza, a shopping center in which the
Partnership had a 50% interest, was sold and the Partnership received net
proceeds of $ 1,452,930. The net book value of the Partnership's interest
in this property at the date of disposition was also $1,452,930 after
accumulated depreciation expense and previously recorded property
valuation allowances. Therefore, no gain or loss was recognized on the
