                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997
which are included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from such
estimates.

     Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Expenses required to be paid
by the Partnership to the General Partners and their affiliates as of
September 30, 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997 were as follows:
                                                          Unpaid at  
                                                        September 30,

                                  -------     ------    -------------

                                  =======     ======        ======   

     The General Partners had deferred payment of certain of their
distributions of prior net cash flow from the Partnership and all of their
subordinated portion of sales and repayment proceeds, pursuant to the
subordination requirements of the Partnership Agreement.  Such
subordination requirements will not be attained over the remaining
operating period of the Partnership.  All amounts currently payable to the
General Partners and their affiliates do not bear interest and are expected
to be paid in 1998.

NORTH RIVERS MARKET SHOPPING CENTER

     On December 30, 1997, the North Rivers Market Associates venture
("NRMA") sold the land and related improvements of the North Rivers Market
shopping center.  The sale price of the property was $14,708,742, which was
received in cash at closing by NRMA (net of selling costs and prorations). 
The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $4,640,000 to NRMA for
financial reporting purposes (of which the Partnership's share was
$1,554,939), due in part to the value impairment provision of $2,300,000
recorded by NRMA in 1995.  In addition, NRMA recognized a gain on sale of
approximately $2,245,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes in 1997
(of which the Partnership's share was $752,467).

     In connection with the sale of this property, as is customary in such
transactions, NRMA agreed to certain representations and warranties, with a
stipulated survival period which expired, with no liability to NRMA, in
late September, 1998.  It is expected that the NRMA venture will distribute
its remaining funds to the venture partners during the fourth quarter of
1998 and that the Partnership will make its final distributions and wind up
its affairs in late 1998, barring unforeseen circumstances.

     As NRMA had committed to a plan to sell the property, the property was
classified as held for sale or disposition as of December 31, 1996 and,
therefore, was not subject to continued depreciation.

     An affiliate of the General Partners of the Partnership managed the
property under an agreement which provided for a fee computed as 6% of the
gross income of the property.  Such property management fees for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 were $80,875.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$612,000 at September 30, 1998, which funds (together with amounts received
from the Partnership's unconsolidated venture, North Rivers Market
Associates) are available to pay for the Partnership's remaining expenses
and liabilities, with any remaining amounts expected to be distributed to
the Limited and General Partners, pursuant to the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement, upon the expected liquidation of the Partnership in
late 1998.

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning the Partnership's
investments.

     During 1996, some of the Holders of Interests in the Partnership
received from unaffiliated third parties unsolicited tender offers to
purchase up to 4.9% of the Interests in the Partnership at $425 per
Interest.  The Partnership recommended against acceptance of these offers
on the basis that, among other things, the offer prices were inadequate. 
The board of directors of JMB Realty Corporation ("JMB"), the corporate
general partner of the Partnership, has established a special committee
(the "Special Committee") consisting of certain directors of JMB to deal
with all matters relating to tender offers for Interests in the
Partnership, including any and all responses to such tender offers.  The
Special Committee has retained independent counsel to advise it in
connection with any potential tender offers for Interests and has retained
Lehman Brothers Inc. as financial advisor to assist the Special Committee
in evaluating and responding to any additional potential tender offers for
Interests.

     The Partnership had been made aware that in July and September 1997
and January 1998, three unsolicited tender offers to some of the Holders of
Interests were made by an unaffiliated third party.  These offers sought to
purchase up to 4.9% of the Interests in the Partnership at prices ranging
from $45 to $105 per Interest.  All of such offers have now expired.  The
Special Committee recommended against acceptance of these offers on the
basis that, among other things, the offer price was inadequate.  As of the
date of this report, the Partnership is aware that 3.38% of the outstanding
Interests have been purchased by all such unaffiliated third parties either
pursuant to such tender offers or through negotiated purchases.  As the
Partnership is currently winding up its affairs and expects to make a final
liquidating distribution in late 1998, it is unlikely that any further
tender offers for Interests will be made.

     The affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up in late
1998, barring unforeseen economic developments.  However, the Partnership's
goal of capital appreciation will not be achieved.  Aggregate sale and
repayment distributions received by Holders of Interests over the entire
term of the Partnership will be less than their original investment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1998 as
compared to December 31, 1997 is due primarily to distributions of
approximately $6,881,000 ($159 per Interest) made to the Limited Partners
in February 1998, which included $109 per Interest from the distributions
received in 1998 from North Rivers Market Associates relating to the
December 1997 sale of the North Rivers Market shopping center and $50 per
Interest from Partnership operational cash flow and reserves, including
those from offering proceeds.  The Partnership also paid a distribution of
$120,212 to the General Partners, which represented their share of
Partnership operational cash flow and reserves, including those from
offering proceeds.  The General Partners will not receive their share of


<PAGE>


any distribution of proceeds from the sale due to subordination
requirements of the Partnership Agreement.  The above decrease in cash and
cash equivalents was partly offset by distributions of approximately
$4,959,000 received by the Partnership from the North Rivers Market
Associates venture in 1998, a substantial portion of which represented the
Partnership's share of the proceeds from the December 1997 sale of the
North Rivers Market shopping center.  Such distributions also were the
primary reason for the decrease in investment in unconsolidated venture, at
equity, at September 30, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997.

     The decrease in interest income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 is due primarily to the interest earned in 1997 on the
temporary investment of the proceeds from the repayment of the Riverpoint
Center and Franklin Farm Village Center mortgage loans during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

     The decrease in Partnership's share of operations of unconsolidated
venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared
to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 is due primarily to
the sale of the North Rivers Market shopping center in December 1997.
