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.

(1)  Basis of Accounting

      For  the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and March  31,
1997  the  accompanying consolidated financial statements include  the
accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated ventures - Vero Beach
Associates  and  Downers Grove Building Partnership (the  "Ventures").
The  effect  of  all  transactions between  the  Partnership  and  the
Ventures has been eliminated.

      The  equity  method  of  accounting  has  been  applied  in  the
accompanying  consolidated financial statements with  respect  to  the
Partnership's interest in Sycamore Mall Associates.

       The  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121")  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived  Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", on January
1,  1996.  SFAS 121 requires that the Partnership record an impairment
loss  on  its  property  held for investment whenever  the  property's
carrying   value   cannot   be  fully  recovered   through   estimated
undiscounted cash flows from its operations and sale.  The  amount  of
the  impairment loss to be recognized would be the difference  between
the property's carrying value and the property's estimated fair value.
In  addition,  SFAS  121 provides that a property not  be  depreciated
while  being held for sale.  As of October 1, 1997, the Downers  Grove
property was considered to be held for sale.  In accordance with  SFAS
121, no depreciation expense relative to the property was recorded  by
the Partnership from October 1, 1997 through March 31, 1998.

        Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

      The  Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis  of
accounting  as  adjusted for  Federal income tax  reporting  purposes.
The  accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
from   such  records  after  making  appropriate  adjustments,   where
applicable, to present the  Partnership's accounts in accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Such adjustments are
not  recorded  on the records of the Partnership.  The net  effect  of
these  adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and  1997
is summarized as follows:

 limited partnership unit       (1.77)     (2.19)      (6.34)      (4.75)
</TABLE>

      The net loss per limited partnership unit presented is based  on
the  weighted limited partnership units outstanding at the end of each
period (20,468.5).

       Partnership  distributions  from  unconsolidated  ventures  are
considered  cash flow from operating activities to the extent  of  the
Partnership's  cumulative  share  of  net  operating  earnings  before
depreciation and non-cash items.  In addition, the Partnership records
amounts  held  in  U.S. Government obligations, commercial  paper  and
certificates  of deposit at cost which approximates market.   For  the
purposes  of these statements the Partnership's policy is to  consider
all  such  investments, with an original maturity of three  months  or
less,  ($68,278 and $69,163 at March 31, 1998 and December  31,  1997,
respectively) as cash equivalents.

      Deferred  offering costs were charged to the  partners'  capital
accounts  upon  consummation of the offering.   Deferred  organization
costs  are  amortized over a 60-month period using  the  straight-line
method.   Deferred  loan costs are amortized over  the  terms  of  the
related agreements using the straight-line method.

      Depreciation  on  the investment properties  acquired  has  been
provided  over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years  using  the
straight-line method.

      No  provision  for Federal income taxes has  been  made  as  any
liability for such taxes would be that of the partners rather than the
Partnership.

(2)  Venture Agreements

       The Partnership has entered into three joint venture agreements
with  partnerships  sponsored by affiliates of the  General  Partners.
Pursuant  to  such  agreements,  the  Partnership  has  made   capital
contributions  aggregating $7,685,642 through  March  31,  1998.   The
Partnership  has  acquired, through these ventures, interests  in  two
shopping centers and an office building partnership.

(3)  Transactions with Affiliates

(5)  Adjustments

     In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation have been made to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of March 31, 1998 and 1997.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At March 31, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents
of  $315,165  which will be utilized for working capital  requirements
and  for  future distributions to Partners.  This is $3,462 less  than
the  $318,627  balance  at December 31, 1997.  Net  cash  provided  by
operations was $124,565 during the three months ended March  31,  1998
as  compared  to  a  utilization of $36, 213 of  cash  from  operating
activities  during  the three months ended March 31,  1997.   Improved
occupancy  at  the  Vero Beach property resulted  in  an  increase  in
operating profits.

   The Partnership has maintained its current level of distribution to
Limited  Partners.   During  the quarter ended  March  31,  1998,  the
Partnership  distributed $38,278 ($1.87 per unit) to Limited  Partners
as  compared  to  $38,232 ( $1.87 per unit) during the  quarter  ended
March 31, 1997.

      As the Partnership intends to distribute all "net cash receipts"
and  "sales  proceeds" in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement,  and  does not intend to reinvest any  such  proceeds,  the
Partnership  is  intended  to  be  self-liquidating  in  nature.   The
Partnership's future source of liquidity and distributions is expected
to   be   through  cash  generated  by  the  Partnership's  investment
properties  and from the sale and refinancing of such properties.   To
the  extent  that  additional payments are required under  a  purchase
agreement  or  a property does not generate an adequate cash  flow  to
meet  its  requirements, the Partnership may withdraw funds  from  the
working capital reserve which it maintains.

Results of Operations

      For  the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and March  31,
1997  the  accompanying consolidated financial statements include  the
accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated ventures - Vero Beach
Associates and Downers Grove Building Partnership.  The effect of  all
transactions  between  the  Partnership  and  the  Ventures  has  been
eliminated.

      As of October 1, 1997, the Downers Grove property was considered
to  be  held  for sale.  In accordance with SFAS 121, no  depreciation
expense relative to the property was recorded by the Partnership  from
October 1, 1997 through March 31, 1998.

      The  equity  method  of  accounting  has  been  applied  in  the
accompanying  consolidated financial statements with  respect  to  the
Partnership's interest in Sycamore Mall Associates.
<PAGE>

      The  $38,314 (15%) increase in rental income for the three month
period  ended  March  31, 1998 as compared to the three  month  period
ended March 31, 1997 is primarily attributed to increased occupancy at
the  Vero Beach property.  Beall's Outlet occupied 12,000 square  feet
in  March 1997, raising occupancy to 93%.  Additional leasing  brought
occupsncy  up  to 97% during 1997.  Occupancy held at 97%  during  the
three  month  period  ended  March 31, 1998  as  compared  to  average
occupancy of 90% during the three month period ended March 31, 1997.

      The $3,427 (12%) increase in tenant charges income for the three
months  ended  March  31, 1998 as compared to the three  month  period
ended March 31, 1997 is attributable to the increased occupancy at the
Vero Beach property..

       The  $4,890  (24%) decrease in interest income  for  the  three
months  ended  March  31, 1998 as compared to the three  month  period
ended  March  31,  1997 is attributable to a decrease  in  short  term
investments.   It is also attributable to the interest earned  on  the
annuities  purchased in connection with the lease buy out in  1994  at
the  Downers  Grove  property.  As payments have been  made  from  the
annuities, there is a reducing amount remaining upon which interest is
earned.

      The $26,165 (32%) decrease in property operating expense for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1998 as compared to  the  three  months
ended  March  31,  1997 is primarily attributable  to  a  decrease  in
building  maintenance  and repairs, lawn maintenance,  janitorial  and
administrative  expenses  at Indian River  Plaza.   During  the  three
months  ended  March  31,  1997,  management  had  undertaken  several
maintenance  projects  in conjunction with the then  recently  vacated
tenant  spaces.  These spaces have now been released and the  expenses
were not of an ongoing nature.

      The  $13,937  (7%) decrease in interest expense  for  the  three
months  ended  March  31, 1998 as compared to the three  months  ended
March  31,  1997  is  attributable to reductions  in  the  outstanding
balance of the mortgage indebtedness and to a reduced interest rate on
the  mortgage at the Vero Beach property.  The refinancing occured  in
November 1997 and the interest rate was reduced to 8.3% from 9.0%..

     Depreciation expense decreased $53,655 (43%) from $123,842 during
the  three  months  ended March 31, 1997 to$70,187  during  the  three
months  ended  March 31, 1998.  As of October 1, 1997 the  Partnership
determined to begin marketed for sale its Downers Grove property.   In
accordance  with  SFAS  121 no depreciation expense  relative  to  the
property was recorded by the Partnership since October 1, 1997.  There
are no active negotiations currently taking place for the sale of this
property.

      The  $6,130 (12%) increase in general and administrative expense
for  the  three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to  the  three
months  ended  March  31,  1997  is attributable  to  an  increase  in
professional fees for the annual audit and tax return preparation.
<PAGE>

     The Partnership's allocation of income from unconsolidated
ventures decreased $11,033 from $17,776 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 to $6,743 during the three months ended March 31, 1998,
as a result of increased vacancy at Sycamore Mall.  Occupancy at March
31, 1997 was 88% as compared to 85% as of March 31, 1998.  Management
is currently negotiating with a potential tenant, however there can be
no assurance that a new lease will be entered into.  If this space is
not released, the ability of Sycamore Mall to meet its financial
obligations could be effected, as a result of decreased revenues.
Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a tenant under a lease which had an original
termination date of March 31, 1992.  Prior to that termination, a ten-
year extension was agreed to which provided Sears an option to
terminate the lease at any time after March 31, 1997 by giving
landlord a one year written notice.  Sears gave such notice on
September 17, 1997 and will terminate its lease on September 1, 1998.
The Sears lease comprises 82,605 square feet which is 34% of the
leaseable area of the shopping center.  However, the annual rental
income received from Sears is approximately $109,000 or approximately
6% of total revenues.  Management believes that any new leases entered
into will be at rents higher then what is being paid by Sears..

      The  Partnership's allocation of income to venture  partners  in
consolidated  operations was $10,974 during  the  three  months  ended
March  31,  1998 as compared to an allocation of loss totaling  $9,006
during  the  three months ended March 31, 1997.  This  change  results
from the improved operations at the Vero Beach property.
