         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 the sale of the 401
East  Ontario Street property in the third quarter of  1998,
the gain on the sale of the Michelson property in the second
quarter   of  1998  and  reserves  of  uncollected  interest
relating to the participating mortgage loan in each  quarter
of  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.   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, owned  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.

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.

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

The  sale price was received in cash at closing on April  3,
1998.   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  the  Limited
Partners.   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 401 East  Ontario
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's  gain  on  the  sale  of  this  property   was
approximately $39.9 million and was allocated  100%  to  the
Limited   Partners  in  accordance  with   the   Partnership
Agreement.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 nine months ended September 30, 1997, GCGA  paid
to  the  Partnership $349,011 of $2,055,353  total  interest
due).   Effective  October 27, 1997, the  Partnership  began
recognizing 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
approximately  $64,000 and $179,000 during the  nine  months
ended  September  30,  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 nine-month periods ended September 30,
1998   and  1997,  the  Partnership  incurred  approximately
$223,000  and  $295,000, respectively, for  these  services.
These  amounts  are  included in general and  administrative
expenses.

As of September 30, 1998, Realty and its affiliate were owed
approximately $33,000 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  filed
a notice of appeal from the Court's order.

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 sold the 401 East Ontario Street property on
July 17, 1998 for approximately $74.5 million (see Note 3 to
the  consolidated  financial  statements).  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.  In  1998,
the   property  generated  cash  flow  from  operations   of
approximately $3.1 million.

As  a  result of the 1998 property sales, the November  1997
sale  of the Greenway Pointe office building and the  August
1997   loss  of  the  Genessee  Crossing  shopping   center,
Partnership cash flow from operations decreased  during  the
nine-months ended September 30, 1998 compared to 1997.

The Managing General Partner is currently marketing for sale
the  Deptford Crossing property.  The partnership which owns
the  One  Congress  Street property ("GCGA")  has  begun  to
market  its  property for sale during the fourth quarter  of
1998.  There can be no assurance that these properties  will
be sold.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, all of  the
Partnership's   remaining   property   interests   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  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998,  the
Partnership   incurred   capital  costs   of   approximately
$415,000,  primarily for tenant-related capital expenditures
at  the  Michelson  (net of contributions  by  the  minority
interest) and Deptford Crossing properties.

During   the   nine   months  ended  September   30,   1998,
distributions  to investors (excluding the  distribution  of
sale  proceeds), capital expenditures, contributions to GCGA
and  distributions to the minority interest  (excluding  the
distribution  of  sale  proceeds) exceeded  cash  flow  from
operations  of real estate (net of minority interest  share)
and  distributions  from GCGA.  This deficiency  was  funded
with Partnership cash reserves.

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.

GCGA and the Government Services Administration ("GSA"), the
sole  tenant of the office space at the One Congress  Street
property,  amended their lease to expand GSA's occupancy  by
approximately 20,000 square feet and postpone GSA's right to
exercise its one-time option to terminate its lease  on  all
or  a portion of its space to the year ending July 31, 2004.
In  return,  GCGA  will fund tenant improvements  of  up  to
$2,580,000; $1,250,000 of this amount (plus interest at  8%)
will  be  repaid  by GSA in monthly installments  over  five
years.  In  addition,  GCGA  is  required  to  fund  leasing
commissions of up to $1,560,000.  The maximum amount of  the
Partnership's  share  of the above-mentioned  tenant-related
expenditures  (58%)  is approximately $2,400,000  (of  which
$725,000  would be repaid by GSA, as described  above);  the
Partnership  has  paid  approximately  $592,000   of   these
expenditures through September 30, 1998.

GCGA  is currently negotiating to lease the remaining vacant
office   space   at   the  One  Congress   Street   property
(approximately  23%  of the space) to a  new  tenant;  as  a
result,  GCGA  may  incur significant  capital  expenditures

             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

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
did  not  have  sufficient cash reserves to fully  fund  its
potential  liability  for its share of capital  expenditures
and  leasing commissions at the One Congress Street property
and other Partnership cash requirements. Therefore, in order
to  increase cash reserves, the Partnership did not pay  its
second   and  third  quarter  distributions,  and   withheld
approximately  $900,000  from the distribution  of  proceeds
from  the  sale of the 401 East Ontario Street  property  to
Limited Partners. 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.

Deferred  expenses,  other assets and accounts  payable  and
other liabilities decreased in 1998 primarily as a result of
the  sale  of  the  Michelson and 401  East  Ontario  Street
properties.

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  nine-month  periods ended  September  30,  1998
compared   to  1997  are  primarily  attributable   to   the
following:

During  the  three-  and nine-month periods,  rental  income
decreased   by  approximately  $3,668,000  and   $6,470,000,
respectively,  as  a  result of the sales  of  the  Greenway
Pointe (November 1997), Michelson (April 1998) and 401  East
Ontario   (July  1998)  properties  and  the  loss   through
foreclosure of the Genessee Crossing property (August  1997)
(collectively, the "Discontinued Properties").  The decrease
caused  by the Discontinued Properties during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1998 was partially offset  by  an
increase  in  rental revenue at the 401 East Ontario  Street
property  of approximately $900,000.  This increase resulted
from  higher  occupancy and rental rates at the property  in
1998  and the discontinuance of rental concessions and  free
rent.
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

The  1998 gains on sales of real estate consist of gains  on
the  Michelson property, of approximately $25.2  million  in
the  second quarter (the minority interest share of the gain
was approximately $12.7 million), and
the  401  East  Ontario  property,  of  approximately  $39.9
million in the third quarter.

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 nine-month periods, interest on  cash
equivalents increased due to interest earned on the proceeds
from  the  1998  property sales before  such  proceeds  were
distributed to Limited Partners.

During the three- and nine-month periods, property operating
expenses    decreased   by   $1,482,000   and    $2,470,000,
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  in  these
periods  due to the absence of expenditures for repairs  and
related   litigation  (such  costs  totaled   $810,000   and
$2,995,000  for  the  three- and  nine-month  periods  ended
September  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).

During  the three- and nine-month periods, depreciation  and
amortization expenses decreased by a total of $1,001,000 and
$2,452,000, respectively, as a result of the sale  and  loss
of the Discontinued Properties.

During  the three- and nine-month periods, interest  expense
decreased    by   approximately   $162,000   and   $188,000,
respectively,  due  to the repayment of  the  mortgage  note
payable  on  July  17,  1998.  In  these  periods,  interest
expense   also   decreased   by   $100,000   and   $503,000,
respectively, due to the extinguishment 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:
             DEAN WITTER REALTY YIELD PLUS, L.P.

Currently,  the vacancy rate in the downtown Boston   office
market,   the   location   of  One   Congress   Street,   is
approximately  7%,  and  rental rates  in  this  market  are
stable.   There is no significant new construction  in  this
market.   The  lease  with GSA has been amended  to  include
additional  space that was occupied starting  October  1998.
The  current  lease is scheduled to expire no  earlier  than
August  1, 2003.  The remaining 23% of the office  space  is
currently  vacant.  The lease for 100% of  the  parking  lot
space  at the property with Kinney Systems, Inc. expires  in
2003.   As  part  of the amended lease with  GSA,  GSA  also
leased  a small portion of retail space; however, 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  third  quarter  of   1998,
occupancy at the property remained at approximately 81%.  No
significant leases expire before 2001.

During  the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998,  the
Deptford   property   incurred  rental  revenues,   property
operating   expenses  and  depreciation   and   amortization
expenses of approximately $1,371,000, $355,000 and $261,000,
respectively.

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.
