FRIDAY DECEMBER 17, 1999




   BANYAN STRATEGIC REALTY TRUST SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE NEW BOARD OF TRUSTEES;
           ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF SALE OF OKLAHOMA APARTMENT PORTFOLIO



CHICAGO, December 17, 1999 - Banyan Strategic Realty Trust (Nasdaq: BSRTS)
announced today that its annual meeting of shareholders was held on
December 13, 1999.  Among other things, the Trust's shareholders approved a
proposal to elect Messrs. Walter E. Auch, Sr., Daniel Levinson, Stephen M.
Peck, and L.G. Schafran as Trustees.  Mr. Leonard G. Levine, President of
the Trust, was also re-elected to the Board of Trustees.  Mr. Levine stated
that, "We are pleased that our shareholders concurred with this proposal
and are confident that the new Trustees will bring valuable insight and
experience to the Trust as we pursue our future business strategies."

In another matter, the Trust has completed the previously announced sale of
the Oklahoma Apartment Portfolio, four separate apartment complexes
totaling 864 units.  The properties were sold to an institutional investor
on December 16, 1999 for $24.1 million resulting in net proceeds of $7.4
million.

The Trust will report a gain of approximately $3.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 1999 as a result of the sale.
