                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
which are included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report. 
Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined, have the same meanings as
used in such Annual Report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 was adopted by the
Partnership on January 1, 1996.


TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Fees, commissions and other
expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and
their affiliates as of September 30, 1996 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

                                                           Unpaid at

     According to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners have deferred payment of their distributions of net cash flow from
the Partnership.  The cumulative amount of such deferred distributions was
$306,330 at September 30, 1996.  All amounts deferred or currently payable
do not bear interest.

JMB/MIAMI

     The Partnership was a general partner in JMB/Miami International
Associates ("JMB/Miami"), which owned a 50% partnership interest in West
Dade County Associates ("West Dade").  West Dade owns an interest in the
Miami International Mall.  The other partners of JMB/Miami were JMB Income
Properties, Ltd. - XIII and Urban Shopping Centers, L.P. ("Urban"), both of
which are affiliates of the Partnership.  Effective as of March 31, 1996,
JMB/Miami was voluntarily dissolved by agreement of its partners and its
50% ownership interest in West Dade and related assets were distributed to
its partners based on their respective ownership percentages.  Accordingly,
the Partnership acquired a direct 2.547% ownership interest in West Dade.  

     On April 8, 1996, DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. ("DeBartolo"),
the unaffiliated venture partner in West Dade, purchased 100% of the
Partnership's interest (i.e., a 2.547% interest) in West Dade for
$1,368,888 (paid in cash at closing), subject to proration.  DeBartolo also
assumed the Partnership's proportionate share of obligations and
liabilities of West Dade from and after March 31, 1996, the effective date
of the transaction.  The terms of the sale were determined by arm's-length
negotiations.

     In addition, West Dade agreed to indemnify the Partnership generally
from and against claims and liabilities incurred by the Partnership in
connection with West Dade or its property after the effective date of the
sale.  As a result of the sale, the Partnership expects to recognize a gain
of approximately $990,000 for Federal income tax purposes and recognized a
gain of approximately $805,000 for financial reporting purposes in 1996. 
In addition, the Partnership made a distribution of sales proceeds related
to this transaction of $20 per Interest in August 1996.


FASHION SQUARE

     In March 1995, the Partnership obtained a replacement irrevocable
direct pay letter of credit with a major institutional lender in the amount
of $7,140,000.  The replacement letter of credit required the Partnership
to fund an interest-bearing cash collateral account with an initial deposit
of $840,000 at closing and requires monthly deposits of $30,000 thereafter
until the December 1, 1999 expiration.  On a cumulative basis, $60,000 per
annum (although no more than $120,000 in any calendar year) can be drawn
down by the Partnership under certain circumstances (as defined) from the
collateral account for tenant improvements and leasing costs at the Fashion
Square Shopping Center.  The Partnership may be required to make additional
deposits to the cash collateral account should the property's net operating
income (as defined) fall below a stipulated level.  As of September 30,
1996, the Partnership was not required to make any additional deposits to
the cash collateral account other than the initial deposit and monthly
deposits discussed above.  Such additional deposits can be drawn down by
the Partnership as reimbursement for certain releasing costs incurred at
the property provided the property's net operating income exceeds the
stipulated level for two consecutive quarters.  As of the date of this
report, no amounts have been drawn or requested from this account.  Upon
expiration of the letter of credit on December 1, 1999, the balance of the
cash collateral account plus interest will revert to the Partnership.

     In 1996, leases representing approximately 17% of the leasable square
footage at the Fashion Square Shopping Center are scheduled to expire, of
which leases representing 9,280 square feet (11% of the center's leasable
square footage) have been renewed.  In addition, the Partnership has
recently executed a lease representing approximately 2,400 square feet (3%
of the center).  In October 1996 the tenant took occupancy of this space. 
The property is 82% leased and the property manager is actively pursuing
replacement tenants for the remaining vacant space.  The costs of lease
commissions and tenant improvements incurred prior to tenant occupancy for
the re-leasing of this space will result in a decrease in cash flow 
from operations over the near term, to the extent not permitted
to be funded from the collateral cash account.  Although the Partnership
has budgeted for re-leasing costs, the market in which the property
operates is extremely competitive, and there is no assurance that the
Partnership will be fully successful in re-leasing this space.

ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of September 30,
1996 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.



PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning certain of the
Partnership's investments.

     Due to the current competitive market in which the Fashion Square
Shopping Center operates and in light of the severely depressed real estate
markets which characterized the Partnership's operations during the past
few years, it currently appears that the Partnership's goal of capital
appreciation will not be fully achieved.  Although some portion of the
Limited Partners' original capital is expected to be distributed from sales
proceeds, without a dramatic improvement in market conditions relative to
its sole remaining investment property, the Limited Partners will receive
significantly less than their original investment.

     The Partnership sold its interest in the Miami International Mall on
April 8, 1996.  After reviewing the Fashion Square Shopping Center and the
marketplace in which it operates, the General Partners of the Partnership
expect to be able to conduct an orderly liquidation of this remaining
property as quickly as practicable.  Therefore, the affairs of the
Partnership are expected to be wound up no later than December 31, 1999
(sooner if its remaining property is sold in the near term), barring
unforeseen economic developments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in the investment in unconsolidated venture, at equity,
at September 30, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995 is due to the sale
of the Partnership's interest in the Miami International Mall on April 8,
1996.

     The increase in escrow deposits at September 30, 1996 as compared to
December 31, 1995 is due to the required funding in 1996 of the cash
collateral account at the Fashion Square Shopping Center of $270,000 and
the associated interest earned.

     The increase in accounts payable at September 30, 1996 as compared to
December 31, 1995 is primarily due to unpaid reimbursements for salaries
and direct expenses of officers and employees of the Corporate General
Partner and its affiliates relating to the administration of the
Partnership and operation of the Partnership's investment properties.

     The decrease in accrued real estate taxes at September 30, 1996 as
compared to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the decrease in assessed
property value for the Fashion Square Shopping Center, which lowered the
property tax liability for this investment property in 1996.

     The decrease in rental income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 is due to lower average occupancy at the Fashion Square Shopping
Center in such subsequent periods.

     The increase in interest income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 is due to increased interest earned on the higher balance in the
cash collateral account due to the required funding of $30,000 per month.

     The decrease in mortgage and other interest for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995
is primarily due to lower letter of credit fees coupled with a decline in
the average floating interest rate (3.8% at September 30, 1996) on the
municipal bonds secured by the Fashion Square Shopping Center.

     The decrease in depreciation expense for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 is due primarily to the $3,500,000 value impairment
recorded for the Fashion Square Shopping Center on September 30, 1995.

     The increase in amortization of deferred expenses for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 is due to the amortization of deferred
financing costs related to the replacement letter of credit.

     The provision for value impairment for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 consists of the $3,500,000 value impairment recorded for
the Fashion Square Shopping Center on September 30, 1995.

     The decrease in the Partnership's share of income from operations of
unconsolidated venture for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 is
due to the sale of the Partnership's interest in the Miami International
Mall on April 8, 1996.

     The Partnership's share of gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated
venture for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is due to the sale of
the Partnership's interest in the Miami International Mall on April 8,
1996.
