         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 the gain on sale of real estate
in 1998 and 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.

         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.   An
extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of the related debt
was recognized in the third quarter of 1997.

3. Sales of Real Estate

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

As  a  result of the agreement, the Partnership reclassified
the  net  carrying value of the Michelson property  to  real
estate held for sale on December 31, 1997.

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 $32.2 million;
such  proceeds were distributed 100% to the Limited Partners
($3.635  per  Unit)  on April 28, 1998.   The  Partnership's
share  of the gain on sale of the property was approximately
$12.6  million; such gain was allocated 100% to the  Limited
Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

Pursuant  to  a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated  July  17,
1998  (the "Agreement"), the Partnership sold the  401  East
Ontario  Street  property on the date of  the  Agreement  to
Streeterville  Development Associates, LLC  ("SDA"),  for  a
negotiated  sale  price  of  $74.5  million.   SDA   is   an
unaffiliated party; however, Draper and Kramer  Inc.,  which
owns 37.5% of SDA, was the manager of the Property while  it
was  owned  by  the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  used  a
portion  of  the sales proceeds to repay the  mortgage  note
payable.

As a result of the above transactions, on July 17, 1998, the
Partnership  received sales proceeds, net  of  the  mortgage
note  repayment,  closing  costs and  other  deductions,  of
approximately  $62.8  million.   On  July  31,   1998,   the
Partnership distributed approximately $61.8 million of  such
proceeds 100% to Limited Partners ($6.94 per Unit).

The  Partnership reclassified the net carrying value of  the
401  East  Ontario Street property to real estate  held  for
sale as of June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 1997, GCGA paid to the
Partnership  $174,940  of $1,370,236  total  interest  due).
Effective   October   27,   1997,  the   Partnership   began
recognizing its share of GCGA's earnings (losses)  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
approximately  $43,000 and $120,000 during  the  six  months
ended                        June                        30,

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

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 six-month periods ended June 30,  1998
and  1997,  the Partnership incurred approximately  $167,000
and  $198,000,  respectively,  for  these  services.   These
amounts are included in general and administrative expenses.

As  of  June  30, 1998, Realty and its affiliate  were  owed
approximately $35,000 for the above-mentioned services.

6. Litigation

Various  public partnerships sponsored by Realty  (including
the  Partnership  and  its Managing  General  Partner)  were
defendants in a class action lawsuit. On July 17, 1998,  the
Delaware  Chancery Court granted the defendants'  motion  to
dismiss  the complaint in the lawsuit.  The Plaintiffs  have
thirty days during which to file a notice of appeal from the
Court's  order; the Partnership does not know  whether  they
intend to do so.

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).  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 Partnership's share of 1998 operating cash flow from the
Michelson   property   was  approximately   $581,000.    The
Partnership  stopped receiving cash flow from the  Michelson
property   once  the  property  was  sold;  as   a   result,
Partnership cash flow from operations decreased  during  the
second quarter of 1998.

The Partnership sold the 401 East Ontario Street property on
July 17, 1998 for approximately $74.5 million (see Note 3 to
the  consolidated  financial statements).   During  the  six
months ended June 30, 1998, the property generated cash flow
from operations of approximately $3,125,000. The Partnership
repaid  the  mortgage note payable with  proceeds  from  the
sale,  and  on  July  31, 1998, the Partnership  distributed
approximately  $61.8 million ($6.94 per  Unit)  of  the  net
proceeds from the sale 100% to Limited Partners.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

The Managing General Partner is currently marketing for sale
the  Deptford Crossing property.  The partnership which owns
the  One  Congress Street property ("GCGA") plans to  market
this  property  for  sale  later  in  1998.   There  can  no
assurance that these properties will be sold.

The  Partnership's liquidity is primarily affected by  sales
of the Partnership's properties; as properties are sold, the
Partnership    has   fewer   income-producing   investments,
Partnership   cash   from  operations  has   decreased   and
Partnership  distributions have declined.   The  Partnership
also   requires   less  cash  reserves   to   fund   capital
expenditures  and  leasing commissions.   Generally,  future
cash  distributions will be paid from proceeds received from
the  sales of the Deptford Crossing and One Congress  Street
properties and cash reserves.

During  the  six  months ended June 30,  1998,  all  of  the
Partnership's  remaining properties generated positive  cash
flow  from  operations,  and  it  is  anticipated  that  the
Deptford  Crossing and One Congress Street  properties  will
continue   to  do  so  during  the  period  the  Partnership
continues to own these property interests.

During  the  six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership
incurred approximately $396,000 (net of contributions by the
minority  interest)  primarily  for  tenant-related  capital
expenditures   at   the  Michelson  and  Deptford   Crossing
properties.

On  May 8, 1998, the Partnership distributed $0.151 per Unit
from  cash  reserves  to the Limited  Partners.   This  cash
distribution   aggregated   $1,494,894,   with    $1,345,405
distributed to Limited Partners and $149,489 distributed  to
General Partners.

During  the six months ended June 30, 1998, cash  flow  from
operations  of real estate (net of minority interest  share)
and  distributions  from  GCGA  exceeded  distributions   to
investors  (excluding the distribution  of  sale  proceeds),
capital  expenditures  and  distributions  to  the  minority
interest (excluding the distribution of sale proceeds).

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

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

$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 described  above);  the
Partnership  has not paid any of these expenditures  through
June 30, 1998.

The  office  space  at  the  One  Congress  Street  property
currently has a vacancy rate of 30%; as a result,  GCGA  may
incur   significant   capital   expenditures   and   leasing
commissions to fill the vacant space.  The Partnership  will
be  required  to  fund  its  58%  share  of  GCGA's  capital
expenditures.

The  Managing General Partner believed that the  Partnership
at  June  30, 1998 did not have sufficient cash reserves  to
fully  fund  its maximum liability for capital  expenditures
and  leasing commissions at the One Congress Street property
and  other Partnership cash requirements. Therefore, in July
1998,  in order to accumulate sufficient cash reserves,  the
Partnership did not pay its second quarter distribution  and
withheld  approximately $900,000 from  the  distribution  of
proceeds  from  the  sale  of the 401  East  Ontario  Street
property to Limited 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.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for  the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 compared to
1997 are primarily attributable to the following:

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998,
rental   income  decreased  by  $2,340,000  and  $2,790,000,
respectively,  as  a  result of the sales  of  the  Greenway
Pointe (November 1997) and Michelson (April 1998) properties
and  the  loss  of  the Genessee Crossing  property  (August

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

1997)  (collectively, the "Discontinued  Properties").   The
decreases   caused  by  the  Discontinued  Properties   were
partially offset by increases in rental revenue at  the  401
East  Ontario Street property of $385,000 and $885,000,  for
the  three-  and  six-month periods  ended  June  30,  1998,
respectively.    These   increases  resulted   from   higher
occupancy and rental rates at the property in 1998  and  the
discontinuance of rental concessions and free rent.   Rental
income from the Deptford Crossing property was $489,000  and
$427,000 during the three-month periods ended June 30,  1998
and 1997, respectively, and $895,000 and $905,000 during the
six-month   periods   ended  June   30,   1998   and   1997,
repsectively.

The  1998 gain on sale of real estate resulted from the sale
of  the Michelson property.  The minority interest share  of
this gain was approximately $12.7 million.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998,
interest  on cash equivalents and other income increased  by
approximately  $114,000  due  to  interest  earned  on   the
proceeds  from the Michelson sale before such proceeds  were
distributed to Limited Partners.

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.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998,
property  operating  expenses  decreased  by  $987,000   and
$1,227,000, respectively, as a result of the sale  and  loss
of the Discontinued Properties.  Property operating expenses
also  decreased at the 401 East Ontario Street  property  by
approximately $639,000 and $3,146,000 for the three- and six-
months  periods  due  to  the absence  of  expenditures  for
repairs  and related litigation incurred during  1997  (such
costs  totaled $1,128,000 and $2,185,000 for the three-  and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively) and due
to  the  first  quarter  1998  receipt  of  a  $1.2  million
settlement  for litigation concerning repairs  made  at  the
property  during  1995-1997 (See Note 2 to the  consolidated
financial  statements). Property operating expenses  at  the
Deptford Crossing property were $122,000 and $159,000 during
the  three-month  periods  ended June  30,  1998  and  1997,

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

respectively, and $225,000 and $322,000 during the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998,
depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by a  total
of $737,000 and $1,398,000, respectively, as a result of the
sale  and loss of the Discontinued Properties.  Depreciation
and  amortization expenses at the Deptford Crossing property
were  $93,000 and $92,000 during the three months ended June
30,  1998  and 1997, respectively, and $186,000 and $185,000
during  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997,
respectively.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998,
interest   expense  decreased  by  $201,000  and   $403,000,
respectively, due to the extinquishment of the mortgage note
secured  by  the  Genessee property upon the  loss  of  such
property in August 1997.

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

A  summary  of the 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 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.

Currently,  the  vacancy  rate  in  the  retail  market   in
Deptford, New Jersey, the location of Deptford Crossing,  is
approximately  5%.   During  the  second  quarter  of  1998,
occupancy  at the property increased from 76%  to  81%.   No
significant leases expire before 2001.

             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.
