         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The Partnership

Dean Witter Realty Yield Plus, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware  in  1987.  The  Managing General  Partner  of  the
Partnership is Dean Witter Realty Yield Plus Inc., which  is
wholly-owned by Dean Witter Realty Inc. ("Realty").

The   financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the
Partnership,  DW Columbia Gateway Associates,  DW  Michelson
Associates   ("DMA"),  DW  Lakeshore  Associates,   Deptford
Crossing   Associates,   DW   Community   Centers    Limited
Partnership  and DW Maplewood Inc. on a consolidated  basis.
All  significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.

Effective October 27, 1997, the Partnership began accounting
for  its  investment  in GCGA Limited  Partnership  ("GCGA")
under the equity method.

The  Partnership's  records are maintained  on  the  accrual
basis   of  accounting  for  financial  reporting  and   tax
purposes.

Net  income  (loss)  per  Unit  amounts  are  calculated  by
dividing net income (loss) allocated to Limited Partners, in
accordance  with the Partnership Agreement, by the  weighted
average number of Units outstanding.

In  the  opinion  of management, the accompanying  financial
statements,  which  have  not  been  audited,  include   all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for  the
interim   periods.   Except  for  reserves  of   uncollected
interest  relating  to the participating  mortgage  loan  in
1997,  such  adjustments consist only  of  normal  recurring
accruals.

The Partnership adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement  No.  130,  "Reporting Comprehensive  Income"  and
Statement  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of   an
Enterprise and Related Information" during the first quarter
of  1998.  Adoption of these standards had no impact on  the
Partnership's computation or presentation of net income  per
Unit of Limited Partnership interest or other disclosures.

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.
                              
         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

These  financial  statements should be read  in  conjunction
with  the  annual  financial statements  and  notes  thereto
included  in  the Partnership's annual report on  Form  10-K
filed  with the Securities and Exchange Commission  for  the
year  ended December 31, 1997.  Operating results of interim
periods  may not be indicative of the operating results  for
the entire year.

2. Real Estate

In   March  1998,  the  Partnership  received  $1.2  million
(recognized  as a reduction of property operating  expenses)
pursuant to a settlement with the architect and engineer  of
the  401 East Ontario Street property.  The Partnership  had
initiated  litigation  against  these  parties  and   others
because it deemed them responsible for defects in the design
and  construction of the building which, in turn, caused the
Partnership to incur significant repair costs in  1995-1997.
The  Partnership  is continuing its litigation  against  the
general contractor and others.

In  August  1997, the Genessee Crossing shopping center  was
foreclosed upon by the first mortgage lender, and, in  March
1998, the lender took final possession of the property.  The
Partnership's  extraordinary gain on the  extinguishment  of
the  related  debt  was recognized in the third  quarter  of
1997.

3. Real Estate Held for Sale

Pursuant  to  a  Purchase and Sale  Agreement  dated  as  of
December  26,  1997, DMA agreed to sell  to  SC  Enterprises
("SCE")  DMA's 90% general partnership interest in Michelson
Company  Limited Partnership (the "Company"), owner  of  the
Michelson  property,  and  two  promissory  notes  (totaling
approximately  $1.2 million) due from SCE for  a  negotiated
aggregate  sale price of $64 million.  SCE, an affiliate  of
the  developer  of  the  property, owns  the  remaining  10%
limited  partnership interest in the Company.  SCE  assigned
its right to purchase the interest in the Company to Spieker
Properties,   L.P.,  which  is  not  affiliated   with   the
Partnership, its affiliated partnerships or SCE.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The  sale price was received in cash at closing on April  3,
1998.   The Partnership's 50.81% share of proceeds from  the
sale, net of closing costs, was approximately $32.4 million;
such  proceeds were distributed 100% to the Limited Partners
($3.635 per Unit) on April 28, 1998.

GCGA's  second  mortgage loan is the participating  mortgage
loan from the Partnership (58%) and Dean Witter Realty Yield
Plus  II  L.P., an affiliated partnership (42%).   Prior  to
October 27, 1997, the Partnership recognized interest income
on  this  loan  and reserved any interest not paid  by  GCGA
(during  the  first  quarter  of  1997,  GCGA  paid  to  the
Partnership   $28,140  of  $677,590  total  interest   due).
Effective  October 27, 1997, the Partnership recognizes  its
share  of  GCGA's  earnings  exclusive  of  GCGA's  interest
expense on the second mortgage loan.

5. Related Party Transactions

In 1998 and 1997, Realty and an affiliate of Realty provided
property  management services for the Deptford Crossing  and
Michelson  properties,  and,  in  1997  only,  the  Genessee
Crossing  and  Greenway Pointe properties.  The  Partnership
paid   Realty   and   its  affiliate  management   fees   of

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.
                              
         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

approximately $27,000 and $62,000 for the three-months ended
March  31,  1998 and 1997, respectively.  These amounts  are
included in property operating expenses.

Realty  performs administrative functions, processes certain
investor transactions and prepares tax information  for  the
Partnership.   For the three-month periods ended  March  31,
1998   and  1997,  the  Partnership  incurred  approximately
$92,000  and  $99,000,  respectively,  for  these  services.
These  amounts  are  included in general and  administrative
expenses.

As  of March 31, 1998, Realty and its affiliate were owed  a
total  of  approximately  $36,000  for  the  above-mentioned
services.

6. Litigation

Various  public partnerships sponsored by Realty  (including
the  Partnership  and  its  Managing  General  Partner)  are
defendants  in  purported class action lawsuits  pending  in
state  and federal court. The complaints allege a number  of
claims,   including   breach  of  fiduciary   duty,   fraud,
misrepresentation and related claims, and seek  compensatory
and  other  damages  and equitable relief.   The  defendants
intend  to vigorously defend against these actions.   It  is
impossible  to  predict the effect, if any, the  outcome  of
these  actions  might  have on the  Partnership's  financial
statements.

7. Subsequent Cash Distributions

On  April 27, 1998, the Partnership paid a cash distribution
of   $.124   per  Unit  to  Limited  Partners.    The   cash
distribution    aggregated   $1,227,596   with    $1,104,836
distributed to Limited Partners and $122,760 distributed  to
the General Partners.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On May 8, 1998, the Partnership distributed a portion of its
cash  reserves  ($.151 per Unit) to Limited  Partners.   The
total  distribution  aggregated $1,494,895  with  $1,345,405
distributed to the Limited Partners and $149,490 distributed
to the General Partners.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership completed a $178,199,380 public offering  in
1987.   The  Partnership has no plans  to  raise  additional
capital.

The  Partnership originally invested in seven loans or  land
leases. Due to the past weakness in real estate markets, the
properties  securing  the loans did not generate  sufficient
cash  flow  to  fully service their debt. As a  result,  the
Partnership  acquired  all of the  properties  in  which  it
originally invested.  No additional investments are planned.

The  partnership which owns the Michelson property (in which
the  Partnership  is  a  50.81% general  partner)  sold  the
property  on  April 3, 1998 (see Note 3 to the  consolidated
financial statements).  During the three months ended  March
31,  1998,  the property generated cash flow from operations
of   approximately  $1,142,000.   On  April  28,  1998,  the
Partnership distributed approximately $32.4 million  ($3.635
per Unit), its share of the net proceeds from the sale, 100%
to Limited Partners.

The Managing General Partner is currently marketing for sale
the  401  East  Ontario Street property, and believes  that,
barring  a change in circumstances, it will market for  sale
the   Deptford  Crossing  property  later  in   1998.    The
partnership which owns the One Congress Street property  (in
which  a subsidiary of the Partnership is a general partner)
plans to market this property for sale later in 1998.  There
can no assurance that these properties will be sold.

Employment   growth,   especially  in  the   communications,
technology and financial services industries, has  increased
demand  for  space in many office markets.  Such  increasing
demand  and  a controlled amount of speculative construction
has   resulted  in  falling  vacancies  and  rising   rents.
Improved  property  performance  along  with  an  influx  of
capital from REITs, pension funds and foreign investors  are
increasing  property values. Some office markets, especially
suburban  markets,  are faring better than  others  and,  in
certain  areas, improved market conditions can  support  new
construction.   Currently, the office vacancy  rate  in  the

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

downtown  financial market and government center  of  Boston
(the  location of One Congress Street) is less than  7%  and
rental  rates in this market are still increasing but  at  a
slower  pace.   In  Orange County, CA (the location  of  the
Michelson  property), the strong demand for  quality  office
space  combined  with  a  lack  of  new  construction   have
decreased vacancy and increased rental rates.  In the retail
sector, there is an oversupply of space, consolidation among
retailers  has  reduced  the  demand  for  space,  and  many
outdated  properties  are  being  redeveloped  in  order  to
compete  with  newer retail properties.   The  abundance  of
available  retail  space  and  sub-lease  space  offered  by
retailers  (usually  at lower rents)  has  exerted  downward
pressure on rents in many markets.  The vacancy rate in  the
retail  market in Deptford, NJ, the location of the Deptford
Crossing   shopping  center,  is  currently  5%.    Although
investment   interest  for  retail  properties   has   waned
somewhat,  REITs  continue  to  purchase  retail  properties
nationwide.  The vacancy rate for apartment buildings in the
downtown Chicago area, the location of the 401 East  Ontario
Street property, is currently 4%.

In  1998,  the  Partnership's liquidity  will  be  primarily
affected  by  sales  of the Partnership's  properties;  when
properties are sold, the Partnership will have fewer income-
producing investments, Partnership cash from operations will
decrease  and  Partnership distributions will decline.   The
Partnership  will  also require less cash reserves  to  fund
capital  expenditures and leasing commissions.  Future  cash
distribution  levels  will  fluctuate  based  on  cash  flow
generated by the Partnership's remaining property interests,
requirements   for   capital   expenditures   and    leasing
commissions  as discussed below, and proceeds received  from
property sales.

During  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1998,  all  of  the
Partnership's properties generated positive cash  flow  from
operations,  and  it  is  anticipated  that  the   remaining
properties  will  continue to do so during  the  period  the
Partnership continues to own its property interests.

During   the  three  months  ended  March  31,   1998,   the
Partnership   incurred  approximately   $190,000   (net   of
contributions by the minority interest) primarily for tenant-
related capital expenditures at the Michelson property.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

During  the  quarter ended March 31, 1998,  cash  flow  from
operations  of real estate (net of minority interest  share)
and  distributions from the partnership which owns  the  One
Congress Street property ("GCGA") exceeded distributions  to
investors and capital expenditures.

The  Partnership's mortgage note payable, secured by the 401
East Ontario Street property, matures December 1999.  During
the  first  quarter  of  1998, the  loan  bore  interest  at
7.0562%.   The  Managing  General Partner  plans  to  use  a
portion  of  the  proceeds from the sale  of  the  401  East
Ontario  Street property to repay the loan in full later  in
1998.

The  current lease between GCGA and the Government  Services
Administration ("GSA"), the sole tenant of the office  space
at  the One Congress Street property, requires GCGA to  fund
tenant  improvements  aggregating  between  $1,110,000   and
$1,935,000; any amount funded over $1,110,000 will be repaid
monthly  by  GSA  over five years plus interest  at  8%.  In
addition, GCGA is required to fund leasing commissions of up
to  $1,475,000.   The  maximum amount of  the  Partnership's
share  of  the  above-mentioned tenant-related  expenditures
(58%)  is approximately $1,978,000 (of which $478,500  would
be  repaid by GSA, as discussed above); the Partnership  has
not paid any of these expenditures through March 31, 1998.

During the remainder of 1998, the Partnership expects to use
a  portion  of  its cash reserves to fund its share  of  the
lease-related  capital  expenditures  at  the  One  Congress
Street property, and distribute any excess cash reserves  to
investors.   On  May  8,  1998, the Partnership  distributed
$.151  per  Unit from cash reserves to the Limited Partners.
This   cash   distribution   aggregated   $1,494,895,   with
$1,345,405 distributed to the Limited Partners and  $149,490
distributed to the General Partners.

On  April  27, 1998, the Partnership paid the first  quarter
cash distribution of $.124 per Unit to the Limited Partners.
The cash distribution aggregated $1,227,596, with $1,104,836
distributed to the Limited Partners and $122,760 distributed
to the General Partners.

Except  as discussed above and in the consolidated financial
statements, the Managing General Partner is not aware of any
trends or events, commitments or uncertainties that may have
a material impact on liquidity.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for  the
three  month periods ended March 31, 1998 compared  to  1997
are primarily attributable to the following:

The  sale  of the Greenway Pointe property in November  1997
caused the absence of the following income and expense items
in  1998:   rental  revenues ($282,000  in  1997),  property
operating  expenses ($129,000 in 1997) and depreciation  and
amortization expenses ($163,000 in 1997).

The  loss  of the Genessee Crossing property in August  1997
caused the absence of the following income and expense items
in  1998:   rental  revenues ($333,000  in  1997),  property
operating  expenses  ($118,000 in  1997),  interest  expense
($201,000   in   1997)  and  depreciation  and  amortization
expenses ($43,000 in 1997).

Rental  revenue  at  the  401 East Ontario  Street  property
increased  by  approximately $500,000  in 1998  compared  to
1997  primarily due to increased occupancy and rental  rates
at  the  property in 1998 and the discontinuance  of  rental
concessions  and  free rent which resulted from  significant
repairs  to  the  fire  and life safety  systems  (completed
September  1997).  These increases in rental  revenues  were
offset  by  the  loss of rental revenues from  the  Greenway
Pointe and Genessee Crossing properties as discussed above.

In 1998, there was no interest recorded on the Partnership's
participating  mortgage  loan  to  GCGA  because,  effective
October  27,  1997,  the Partnership began  recognizing  its
share of income from the property using the equity method of
accounting.

Property  operating expenses decreased at 401  East  Ontario
Street in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily due to the receipt
of  a $1.2 million settlement for litigation concerning  the
repairs made at the property during 1995-1997 (see Note 2 to
the  consolidated  financial  statements)  and  due  to  the
absence  of  $1  million  of expenditures  for  repairs  and
related  litigation which was incurred  in  1997.   Property
operating expenses also decreased in 1998 due to the loss of
the  Greenway  Pointe  and Genessee Crossing  properties  as
discussed above.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

Since  the Michelson property was classified as real  estate
held for sale on December 31, 1997, the Partnership did  not
record  depreciation  on the property in  1998  (such  costs
totaled  $470,000  in 1997).  Depreciation and  amortization
expenses  also  decreased in 1998 due to  the  loss  of  the
Greenway   Pointe  and  Genessee  Crossing   properties   as
discussed above.

There  were no other individually significant factors  which
caused changes to revenues or expenses.

A  summary  of  the office, retail and residential  building
markets  where  the Partnership's remaining  properties  are
located, and the performance of each property is as follows:

Currently,  the vacancy rate in the downtown Boston   office
market, the location of One Congress Street, is less than 7%
and rental rates in this market are still increasing but  at
a  slower pace.  There is no significant new construction in
this  market.  The lease with GSA (for approximately 70%  of
the  office  space) is scheduled to expire no  earlier  than
July  31,  2002.   The  remaining 30% of  the  office  space
remained  vacant.   The lease for 100% of  the  parking  lot
space  at the property with Kinney Systems, Inc. expires  in
2003.  In 1998, the retail space, which is not a significant
portion of the overall space, remained substantially vacant.

During  the first quarter of 1998, the vacancy rate  in  the
retail  market  in  Deptford, New Jersey,  the  location  of
Deptford  Crossing, remained at 5%.  There  are  two  retail
developments which opened in the second quarter of 1997  and
two retail developments planned for construction in the near
future.   This  space will be primarily  occupied  by  large
tenants,  and  the  Partnership  anticipates  that  the  new
centers  will  benefit  the  tenants  at  Deptford  Crossing
because the new retailers will increase consumer traffic  in
the market.  During the first quarter of 1998, occupancy  at
the  property  decreased slightly to  76%.   No  significant
amount of leases expire before 2001.

The  luxury  residential  sub-market  in  Chicago,  IL,  the
location of the 401 East Ontario property, continues  to  be
strong.   It  has a current vacancy rate of 4%,  and  rental
rates  continue  to increase. During the  first  quarter  of
1998, occupancy at the property remained at 93%.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

Inflation

Inflation has been consistently low during the periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result, has
not had a significant effect on the operations of the
Partnership or its properties.
