Item 1.   Security and Issuer

     This statement relates to the Shares of Beneficial Interest,
par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Shares"), of Property
Trust of America, a real estate investment trust organized under
the laws of Maryland ("Property Trust").

     The principal executive office of Property Trust is 4487
North Mesa, Suite 100, El Paso, Texas  79902.


Item 2.   Identity and Background

     (a) - (c).  This statement is filed by SWRT Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation ("SWRT"), and Mr. William D. Sanders
("Sanders").  SWRT is principally engaged in the business of
investing in real estate.  SWRT's principal executive office is
located at 11 South LaSalle Street, Suite 2300, Chicago, Illinois 
60603.  The sole officer of SWRT is Robert A. Kritt, and the
directors of SWRT are Robert A. Kritt and Sanders.  The sole
stockholder and controlling person of SWRT is Sanders.  Messrs.
Sanders and Kritt are both United States citizens.  The addresses
and present principal occupations of such individuals are set
forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

     Subparts (d) and (e) of Item 2 are not applicable to SWRT or
any of its executive officers, directors or controlling persons.


Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     The aggregate amount of funds expended by SWRT to purchase
the 501,000 Common Shares referred to in Item 5(c) hereof was
$5,886,750 (the "Purchase Price").  No funds were expended for
the purchase of the Option referred to in Item 4.  The
consideration for the Option consists of SWRT's obligations under
the Investor Agreement described in Item 4 hereof and attached
hereto as Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference,
and the receipt by Property Trust of a satisfactory Settlement
Agreement and General Release with Standstill Provisions among
Property Trust, Sizeler Property Investors, Inc. and Realty
Acquisition Corporation, dated February 22, 1990, which
Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit H and is
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

     SWRT paid the full amount of the Purchase Price with the
proceeds of a demand loan (the "Demand Loan") which it received
from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan
Guaranty") pursuant to a February 22, 1990 Letter Agreement
between SWRT and Morgan Guaranty (the "Letter Agreement").
Sanders has personally guaranteed (the "Guaranty") the Demand
Loan.

     The Letter Agreement, the promissory note evidencing the
indebtedness of SWRT thereunder and the Guaranty are attached
hereto as exhibits B, C and D, respectively, and are incorporated
herein by reference in their entirety.


Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

     The purpose of SWRT's acquisition of the Common Shares and
the Option (the "Option"), granted to SWRT by Property Trust, to
purchase Variable Rate Cumulative Convertible Series A Preferred
Shares of Beneficial Interest of Property Trust, par value $1.00
per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), which are
convertible into Common Shares, was for investment.  Sanders or
SWRT may sell interests in SWRT to other persons.

     Depending on market conditions and other factors, and
subject to the restrictions imposed by the Investor Agreement
(discussed below), SWRT intends to acquire, at any time or from
time to time, up to 35% of Property Trust's Common Shares through
open market purchases or otherwise and by exercising the Option
and converting the resulting Preferred Shares.  SWRT delivered on
March 2, 1990 a notice to Property Trust indicating that it
proposes to buy 425,000 Common Shares on the open market.  Under
Section 10 of the Investor Agreement, Property Trust has ten days
from the date of such notice to exercise a right of first offer
with respect to such proposed open market purchases.

     SWRT and Sanders intend to play a major role in the
direction of Property Trust for the purpose of maximizing the
value of Property Trust.  Subject to the Investor Agreement, SWRT
reserves the right to dispose of some or all of the shares of the
equity interests in Property Trust that it now owns or hereafter
acquires.

     The Option entitles SWRT (or any subsequent holder of the
Option) to purchase 600,000 shares of the Series A Preferred
Shares at a price of $9.00 per share, subject to certain
antidilution adjustments described in Section 7 of the Option. 
The Option will be wholly void and of no effect after August 31,
1991.

     Under the terms of the Articles Supplementary of Property
Trust (the "Articles Supplementary"), which designate the voting
powers, rights, preferences, qualifications and restrictions of
the Series A Preferred Shares, the holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote, except as a class on
mergers, consolidations, sales of substantially all the assets of
Property Trust and matters respecting which the vote of all
classes of a real estate investment trust's shares is required by
applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Maryland.  Each share of the Series A preferred Shares is
convertible at the option of the holder thereof into one Common
Share (subject to certain antidilution provisions set forth in
the Articles Supplementary) upon the earlier of March 31, 1990
and receipt of authorization from the New York Stock Exchange for
listing the underlying Common Shares.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Agreement between SWRT
and Property Trust, dated February 23, 1990 (the "Investor
Agreement"), neither SWRT nor any officer or director or SWRT,
nor a beneficial owner of more than 25% of SWRT's voting
securities, may purchase additional securities of Property Trust
entitled to vote generally for the election of trustees
(including options and rights to acquire any such securities and
securities convertible into such securities) (herein, such
securities of Property Trust shall be referred to as the "Voting
Securities") if the effect of such acquisition would be to
increase the beneficial ownership of SWRT and its Affiliates (as
defined in the Investor Agreement (and persons in which SWRT or
any of its Affiliates own more than 25% of the outstanding
interests, to greater than 32% (assuming conversion of the Series
A Preferred Shares) of the total combined voting power of all the
Voting Securities.  However, SWRT and its Affiliates may acquire
Voting Securities without regard to the foregoing limitation
pursuant to a tender offer for Property Trust's stock which meets
the following conditions:  (i) the tender offer is commenced
after March 1, 1992; (ii) the tender offer is made for all the
shares of Property Trust securities not held by SWRT; (iii) the
consideration offered is all cash and is offered equally to all
holders; and (iv) the tender offer is held open for at least 90
days.  Notwithstanding anything in the Investor Agreement to the
contrary, SWRT may make a tender offer at any time and upon
whatever terms it deems appropriate for the Common Shares
(including terms inconsistent with (i) - (iv), inclusive, of the
preceding sentence) if such tender offer is (A) made in response
to a tender offer made by a party which is not an affiliate of
either SWRT or any of its Affiliates and (B) is not instigated by
SWRT or any of its Affiliates for the purpose of avoiding its
obligations under the Investor Agreement.  If and when SWRT
decides to increase its ownership of shares through open market
purchases, Property Trust has a right of first offer to sell
newly issued Common Shares to SWRT at market prices.

     The Investor Agreement also provides that SWRT and its
Affiliates will not sell any Voting Securities owned by them
without the prior written consent of the Board of Trustees of
Property Trust by resolution adopted by a majority of the
Trustees who are not designees of SWRT, except (i) pursuant to a
public offering registered pursuant to a registration statement
prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); or
(ii) in privately negotiated sales, provided that (A) SWRT or any
of its Affiliates will not sell shares constituting and/or
securities convertible into more than 9.8% of the outstanding
Common Shares to any person or group in any transaction or Series
of related transactions, and (B) neither SWRT or any of its
Affiliates will sell shares constituting or securities
convertible into an amount of Common Shares to any person or
group which would result in such person's or group's beneficially
owning, after giving effect to such sale, more than 9.8% of the
outstanding shares; provided, that for this purposes, SWRT may
rely exclusively upon copies of Schedule 13D or 13G as
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), filed by such persons, in either
case furnished by Property Trust to SWRT; (iii) in "brokers
transactions" as defined in Rule 144 of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Act as in effect on the date of
the Investor Agreement; (iv) transfers to a potential acquiror of
Property Trust pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for all
outstanding Voting Securities, or securities convertible into, or
exercisable for, Voting Securities, (A) if the Board of Property
Trust does not oppose such tender or exchange offer, or (B) if
such tender or exchange offer is opposed by the Board of Trustees
of Property Trust, but such transfer occurs not earlier than 48
hours preceding the announced termination of such tender or
exchange offer; (v) the conversion, exchange or exercise of such
Voting Securities pursuant to their terms; or (vi) a transfer,
assignment, sale or disposition of such Voting Securities among
Affiliates, provided that the transferee shall be a corporation
directly or indirectly wholly owned by SWRT, and the transferee
or pledgee shall expressly assume in a writing delivered to
Property Trust all of the obligations and restrictions contained
in the Investor Agreement pertaining to SWRT.

     Property Trust redeemed the Rights issued pursuant to that
certain Rights Agreement, dated as of March 10, 1989, as amended,
between Property Trust and M-Trust Corp., N.A. as Rights Agent
(the "Old Rights Agreement"), and agreed to adopt a new Rights
Agreement (the "New Rights Agreement"), which is substantially
identical to the Old Rights Agreement in every respect, except
that the New Rights Agreement (A) grants to SWRT a number of
Rights (as defined in the New Rights Agreement) equivalent to the
number that would be associated with the number of Common Shares
into which the Series A Preferred Shares are convertible, as such
number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the New
Rights Agreement and the Articles Supplementary, and (B) provides
that the ownership by SWRT of the Option, or the acquisition by
SWRT of Common Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or other shares
of preferred stock of Property Trust shall not cause the
occurrence of a Distribution Date (as defined in the New Rights
Agreement) or result in SWRT becoming an Acquiring Person (as
defined under the New Rights Agreement) or involved in a
transaction or event described in Section 11(a)(ii) of the New
Rights Agreement (herein, any such transaction or event shall be
referred to as a "Triggering Event") solely as a result of SWRT
(1) acquiring or having acquired Voting Securities of Property
Trust giving SWRT directly or indirectly an aggregate of no more
than 32% of the voting power of the Voting Securities, or (2)
being the Beneficial Owner (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
of Voting Securities of Property Trust comprising more than 32%
of the voting power of the Voting Securities then outstanding,
solely as a result of (i) a reduction in the number of votes per
share of outstanding shares of Property Trust's Voting
Securities, (ii) exercise or conversion of the Rights (as defined
in the New Rights Agreement) or any rights, warrants, or
convertible securities received by SWRT with respect to Series A
Preferred Shares, the Common Shares or securities derived by SWRT
therefrom, (iii) any distribution made, or other action taken, by
Property Trust with respect to the Option, Series A Preferred
Shares, the Common Shares, the Rights (as defined in the New
Rights Agreement) or any rights, warrants, or convertible
securities received by SWRT with respect to Series A Preferred
Shares, the Common Shares, or any security derived by SWRT
therefrom, including, without limitation, any securities received
by SWRT pursuant to Section 7 of the Option or (iv) utilization
of rights possessed by Series A Preferred Shares or the Rights or
any stock rights, warrants, or other securities derived, whether
directly or indirectly, by SWRT therefrom.  During such time as
SWRT is the owner of the Option, any Series A Preferred Shares or
any Common Shares and while the Rights issued pursuant to the New
Rights Agreement are outstanding, Property Trust shall not amend
or supplement the New Rights Agreement in any manner which would
cause the occurrence of a Distribution Date or result in SWRT
becoming an Acquiring Person or involved in a Triggering Event
solely as a result of SWRT maintaining its ownership of Common
Shares as described in clauses (1) and (2) of the immediately
preceding sentence.  During such time as SWRT is the owner of the
Option or any Series A Preferred Shares, Property Trust may amend
the New Rights Agreement or may adopt a new rights agreement
similar to the New Rights Agreement only if such amendment or new
agreement provides for the issuance to the holders of the Option
or Series A Preferred Shares of (x) rights identical to those to
be issued to holders of Common Shares and (y) a number of rights
with respect to each Series A Preferred Share equal to the number
of Common Shares into which a Series A Preferred Share is then
convertible multiplied by the number of rights to be issued with
respect to each such Common Share, and Property Trust's
amendment, adoption of such new agreement, or of any amendment or
supplement to either thereof, complies with the preceding
sentence.

     Property Trust has exempted SWRT from the application of the
provisions of Section 3-602 and Section 3-702(a) of the Maryland
General Corporation Law, as in effect on the date of the Investor
Agreement, and from Article 2, Section 7(c) of its Declaration of
Trust so long as SWRT holds 32% or less of the Voting Securities. 
These exemptions will not attach to and follow the shares, but
will terminate upon transfer by SWRT to an unaffiliated party.

     The Investor Agreement provides that SWRT and its
Affiliates, from the date of the Investor Agreement until March
1, 1992, will not (i) submit any proposal for the vote of
shareholders of Property Trust; (ii) become a member of a "group"
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act unless
such group is committed to complying with the obligations of SWRT
and its Affiliates under Sections 9(b)(ii) and 9(b)(iii) of the
Investor Agreement (which require SWRT and its Affiliates to be
present at all shareholder meetings of Property Trust, and
require SWRT and its Affiliates, until March 1, 1992, to vote its
Voting Securities in favor of the nominees of the Board of
Trustees of Property Trust for election to the Board of Property
Trust); or (iii) deposit any Voting Securities in a voting trust
or subject any Voting Securities to any arrangement or agreement
with respect to the voting of such Voting Securities unless the
persons controlling the voting thereof are committed to complying
with the obligations of SWRT and its Affiliates under Sections
9(b)(ii) and 9(b)(iii) of the Investor Agreement.

     SWRT has the right under the Investor Agreement to obtain
representation on the Board of Trustees of Property Trust as
follows:  So long as SWRT owns 9% or more of the Voting
Securities, Property Trust shall not increase the number of
members of its Board of Trustees to more than eight, and SWRT
shall be entitled to designate one or more persons for nomination
to the Board of Property Trust (such person, a "Nominee") as
follows and Property Trust will use its best efforts to cause the
election of such Nominee or Nominees:  (i) so long as SWRT owns
less than 10% of the Voting Securities, one (1) Nominee; (ii) so
long as SWRT owns not less than 10% of the Voting Securities,
that number of Nominees as shall bear approximately the same
ratio to the total number of trustees as the number of Voting
Securities held by SWRT (excluding the Voting Securities
represented by the Option until the exercise thereof) bears to
the total number of Voting Securities outstanding, provided, that
(A) SWRT shall be entitled to designate not more than two (2)
Nominees so long as the Board consists of not more than eight 
(8) trustees; (B) any person who is employed by SWRT or who is an
employee, a 25% shareholder or a director of any corporation of
which SWRT is a 25% shareholder (except for Property Trust) shall
be deemed to be a designee of the SWRT; and (C) if necessary to
avoid the forced retirement from the Board of Property Trust of
any current trustee, SWRT shall designate one of the current
members of the Board of Property Trust as one of his two Nominees
under clause (A) above.

     In the event of a "Change in Control" (as defined in the
Option or the Articles Supplementary, as the case may be) of
Property Trust, the holder of the Option or the Series A
Preferred Shares may require Property Trust to repurchase the
Option or the Preferred Shares, as the case may be, at pre-
determined prices.

     The provisions of the Option, the Investor Agreement and the
Articles Supplementary are set forth in full in those documents
which are filed as Exhibits E, A and F to this Schedule 13D, and
which are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference
in the response to this Item 4.  The description in this Item 4
of the terms and conditions thereof is a summary only and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibits.

     Other than as discussed above, neither SWRT nor Sanders has
any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the
acquisition of additional securities of Property Trust or the
disposition of securities of Property Trust; an extraordinary
corporate transaction involving Property Trust or any of its
subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets
of Property Trust or any of its subsidiaries; a change in the
present Board of Trustees or management of Property Trust; a
material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of Property Trust; any other material change in the business or
corporate structure of Property Trust; changes in Property
Trust's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or
other actions which might impede the acquisition of control of
Property Trust by any other person; causing a class of Property
Trust's securities to be listed from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-
dealer quotation system of a registered securities association;
causing securities of Property Trust to be eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Exchange Act; or any action similar to any of those enumerated in
the foregoing paragraph.


Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a)  SWRT is the direct beneficial owner, and William
Sanders is the indirect beneficial owner, of 1,101,000 Common
Shares, which represents (i) the sum of (x) 501,000 Common Shares
purchased by SWRT pursuant to the Agreement for Sale of Stock
referred to in Item 5(c) below and (y) 600,000 Common Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares which
SWRT is entitled to purchase upon exercise of the Option, and
(ii) 19.07% of the Common Shares outstanding as of February 22,
1990 (assuming that Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding).

     (b)  SWRT directly has, and William D. Sanders indirectly
has, the sole power to vote 1,101,000 Common Shares; however,
such shares include 600,000 Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares which the filing
person shall receive upon exercise of the Option.

     (c)  The only transactions during the past 60 days in the
Common Shares by the persons filing this Schedule 13D are as
follows:  On February 23, 1990, pursuant to that certain
Agreement for the Sale of Stock, dated February 22, 1990, among
SWRT Incorporated, Sizeler Property Investors, Inc., and Realty
Acquisition Corporation, attached hereto as Exhibit G and
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, SWRT purchased
for cash, at a price of $11.75 per share, in a negotiated,
private transaction, 501,000 Common Shares from Realty
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

     Also on said date, following the consummation of the
foregoing transaction, Property Trust issued to SWRT the Option,
which grants to SWRT the right, until August 31, 1991, to
purchase, at a price of $9 per share, 600,000 shares (subject to
certain antidilution adjustments) of the Series A Preferred
Shares, each of which is convertible into one Common Share.  The
Option was issued in consideration of Realty Acquisition
Corporation, its corporate parent and Property Trust entering
into the Settlement Agreement and General Release with Standstill
Provisions attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein
by reference in its entirety, pursuant to which Settlement
Agreement Realty Acquisition Corporation withdrew its tender
offer for Property Trust.  The issuance of the Option was
conditional upon SWRT's purchase of the 501,000 Common Shares
from Realty Acquisition Corporation described in the paragraph
immediately above.

     (d)  Not applicable.

     (e)  Not applicable.


Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     As described in Item 4 above, the Investor Agreement, the
Articles Supplementary and the Option provide for various rights
and restrictions with respect to Property Trust's securities. 
The Agreement for Sale of Stock described in Item 5(c), attached
hereto as Exhibit G and incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety, is the only agreement or understanding other than the
Investor Agreement, the Option and the Articles Supplementary
between SWRT and another person or entity which involves the
Common Shares.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

     Item 4 is amended supplementally as follows:

     The current management of the Issuer is expected to change
if and when the Issuer enters into an advisory agreement with
Southwest Realty Advisors Incorporated ("Realty Advisors"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Capital, the terms of which are
currently being negotiated.  It is expected that the advisory
agreement will be executed in the near future and be effective as
of March 1, 1991.  The proposed agreement, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference
in its entirety, contemplates that Realty Advisors will assume
responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Issuer and
will employ all current employees of the Issuer.

     The proposed agreement also contemplates that Realty
Advisors' compensation will be performance based and will be tied
primarily to the cash flow of the Issuer so that the interests of
Realty Advisors will mirror those of the Issuer's shareholder's. 
The cost of the advisory agreement to the Issuer is expected to
be no greater than the current total general and administrative
cost of the Issuer as a self-advised entity.

     The current capitalization of the Issuer is expected to
change.  In order to execute the strategy set forth in the
following paragraph, the Board of Trustees of the Issuer
("Trustees") are exploring alternative approaches to raising
additional capital consistent with the long-term interests of the
Issuer's shareholders.  Capital has expressed a desire to invest,
either directly or through its Affiliates, additional capital in
the Issuer in the immediate future.

     The focus of the Issuer's business is expected to shift
towards the acquisition and development of multi-family housing
in certain markets in the southwestern United States.

     Paragraphs (a)-(d) of Item 5 are amended supplementally as

the 1,500,000 Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Realty
beneficially owns an aggregate of 8,344,706 Shares of the Issuer,
representing approximately 24.28% of the Issuer's Shares
outstanding at February 16, 1993 (after giving effect to the
offering).

     Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Advisors has the power
to manage and control the assets owned by Realty, including the
power to vote, dispose of and give proxies in respect of any
Securities owned by Realty (as described in Article I of the
Advisory Agreement).  Accordingly, Advisors and Realty have
shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares
owned by Realty.

     As a result of Sanders' acquisition of the 1,358 Shares
pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Sanders has sole
voting power with respect to 196,928 Shares of the Issuer.  As
result of Sanders' position with each of Realty and Advisors,
Sanders may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power
with respect to the Shares deemed to be owned by Realty and
Advisors.  Accordingly, Sanders may be deemed to own
approximately 8,541,634 Shares of the Issuer, constituting
approximately 24.86% of the Shares of the Issuer outstanding.

     Except as set forth above or as previously reported, neither
Realty nor Sanders nor Advisors, and, to the best knowledge of
Realty, Sanders and Advisors, none of the persons listed in Item

days.

     Other than as described in this Item 5, no person is known
to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt
of dividends from, or the proceeds from, the sale of the Shares
beneficially owned by each of Realty, Advisors and Sanders.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 6 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     Except as set forth in Items 4 and 5 above and except as
previously reported, there are no contracts, arrangements or
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the
persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person
with respect to securities of the Issuer.

pursuant to the Investor Agreement, and (iv) to redeem the rights
outstanding pursuant to PTR's Rights Agreement, dated as of
February 23, 1990, with Chemical Bank, and adopt and enter into a
new Rights Agreement with Chemical Bank which provides that the
Investor Group shall not become an Acquiring Person (as defined
in the new Rights Agreement) or cause a Triggering Event (as
defined in the Investor Agreement) solely as a result of (A)
acquiring securities giving the Investor Group Beneficial
Ownership of 49% or less of the Common Shares or (B) Beneficially
Owning in excess of 49% of the Common Shares, if such excess
results from repurchases of Common Shares by the Trust or
acquisitions of newly issued Common Shares by the Investor Group
directly from the Trust.

     REALTY has agreed in the Investor Agreement that the
Investor Group will not directly or indirectly acquire any
securities if the effect would be to increase the Investor
Group's Beneficial Ownership to greater than 49% of the Common
Shares, except for an all-cash tender offer for all PTR
securities or a tender offer made in response to a tender offer
by a third party.  REALTY has also agreed that the Investor Group
will not, without the prior written consent of PTR's Board of
Trustees, directly or indirectly sell securities to any person,
entity or group which would result in such person, entity or
group Beneficially Owning more than 9.8% of the Common Shares.

     REALTY has the right under the Investor Agreement so long as
the Investor Group Beneficially Owns at least 9% of the Common
Shares to designate at least one person for nomination to serve
on PTR's Board of Trustees.  REALTY has the right to designate
such nominees in proportion to the percentage Beneficial
Ownership of Common Shares by the Investor Group (at least two
nominees) so long as the Investor Group Beneficially Owns more
than 10% of the Common Shares, provided that REALTY may not
designate more than two nominees so long as PTR's Board consists
of not more than eight Trustees.  REALTY also has certain demand
and piggyback registration rights under the Investor Agreement
with respect to its Common Shares.

     The foregoing is only a summary of the Investor Agreement
and reference is made to the Investor Agreement, a copy of the
form of which is filed as an exhibit to this amendment and is

and October 7, 1994 (as so amended, the "13D").

Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

     This Amendment relates to common Shares of Beneficial
Interest, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Shares"), of

Security Capital Pacific Incorporated, a Maryland corporation
("PACIFIC"), with and into PTR are the 13,528,825 and 15,000
shares of PACIFIC common stock that REALTY and Sanders
respectively own, which will be converted into 8,266,112 and
9,165 Common Shares, respectively, pursuant to the merger.

     The source and amount of consideration for up to 3,053,435
Common Shares that REALTY has agreed to purchase in PTR's
proposed subscription offering is up to $50 million of cash from
REALTY's working capital or from funds borrowed under REALTY's
revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo, as agent bank.

     The source and amount of consideration for the 163 Common
Shares beneficially acquired by Sanders on November 14, 1994
pursuant to PTR's dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan
was $2,559 cash representing reinvested dividends.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

     The purpose of the merger of PACIFIC with and into PTR is,
in general, to provide PACIFIC's shareholders with prospects for
growth in per share operating results from being part of PTR and
to provide PTR and its shareholders with entry into attractive
growing target markets in the western United States.

     The purpose of PTR's proposed subscription offering is to
allow PTR's other shareholders an opportunity to purchase Common
Shares at the same price at which PACIFIC's shareholders are
acquiring Common Shares pursuant to the merger of PACIFIC with
and into PTR and to maintain PTR's current balance sheet ratios.

     REALTY and Sanders may acquire additional Common Shares in
the future, both in the open market and in public offerings, in
order to maintain or increase their ownership interest in PTR.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 5 of the 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

     (a),(b)   REALTY owns 16,070,289 Common Shares, representing

beneficially own all of the Common Shares owned by REALTY, and in
addition Sanders beneficially owns 191,905 Common Shares directly
and through family entities and his children.  Thus, Sanders
beneficially owns an aggregate of 16,262,194 Common Shares,
representing 32.2% of the outstanding Common Shares.

     (c)  Sanders beneficially acquired 163 Common Shares through
the automatic reinvestment of dividends under PTR's dividend
reinvestment and share purchase plan on November 14, 1994 at a
price of $15.742 per Common Share.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 6 of the 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

     On December 6, 1994, PTR, PACIFIC and REALTY entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of PACIFIC
with and into PTR.  Pursuant to the terms of such agreement, each
outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock will be converted into
0.611 Common Shares.  REALTY has agreed to vote all of its Common
Shares (and all of its shares of PACIFIC common stock) in favor
of the merger.  REALTY and Sanders each intends to execute a
proxy giving the named executive officers of PTR the power to
vote their respective Common Shares in favor of the merger at the
special PTR shareholders meeting to be held to consider the
merger and to vote on any other matter properly presented at the
meeting according to their discretion.

     Also on December 6, 1994, PTR and REALTY entered into a
supplemental investment agreement, pursuant to which REALTY has
agreed to acquire up to $50 million of Common Shares in PTR's
proposed subscription offering, which required investment would
be reduced to the extent that PTR receives subscriptions from
parties other than REALTY.  The subscription offering and
REALTY's investment are conditioned upon the effectiveness of the
merger of PACIFIC with and into PTR.  As consideration for
REALTY's investment, PTR has agreed to grant REALTY certain
registration rights pursuant to the supplemental investment
agreement.
