                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
which are included in the Partnership's 1996 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.

     The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 ("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" as required in the first
quarter of 1996.  The Partnership's policy is to consider a property to be
held for sale or disposition when the Partnership has committed to a plan
to sell or dispose of such property and active marketing activity has
commenced or is expected to commence in the near term or the Partnership
has concluded that it may dispose of the property by no longer funding
operating deficits or debt service requirements of the property thus
allowing the lender to realize upon its security.  In accordance with SFAS
121, any properties identified as "held for sale or disposition" are no
longer depreciated.

     As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership committed to a plan to sell
the Fashion Square Shopping Center, its last remaining investment property.

Accordingly, the Partnership has classified this property as held for sale
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The net results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 for properties
classified as held for sale or disposition or sold or disposed of during
the past two years were $165,765 and $34,442, respectively.  In addition,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements include $0 and $15,764,
respectively, of the Partnership's share of total property operations of
$73,024 and $(75,274) for unconsolidated properties for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, which are held for sale or
disposition or have been sold or disposed of during the past two years.

     During the second quarter of 1997, Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("Earnings per Share") and No. 129 ("Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure") were issued.  As the Partnership's
capital structure only has general and limited partnership interests, the
Partnership does not expect any significant impact on its (consolidated)
financial statements upon adoption of these standards when required at the
end of 1997.

     Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.

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 June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 were as follows:

                                  =======     =======        ======   

     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 June 30, 1997 and are not expected to be paid as the
subordination requirements of the Partnership Agreement are not currently
expected to be attained.  All amounts deferred or currently payable do not
bear interest.

JMB/MIAMI

     On April 8, 1996, the Partnership sold 100% of its Partnership
interest in Miami International Mall to its unaffiliated venture partner
for $1,368,888.

FASHION SQUARE

     The Partnership's current irrevocable direct pay letter of credit in
the amount of $7,140,000 supports the municipal bond mortgage debt on the
property which continues to bear interest at a floating, although favorable
rate.  The 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.  Under a recent modification agreement in principle
with the letter of credit holder, the Partnership can continue to draw down
from the cash collateral account reimbursement for actual tenant
improvements and leasing costs incurred at the Fashion Square Shopping
Center; however, in no event can the balance in the cash collateral account
fall below $1,600,000.  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 for two consecutive
quarters.  As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership has not been required to
make any additional deposits to the cash collateral account other than the


<PAGE>


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, $141,895 has been drawn from this account. 
These draws partially funded the tenant improvement work completed for
Designer Shoe Warehouse and Brueggers Bagels.  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.  Due to the cash
collateral funding requirements and fees associated with the letter of
credit, the property is operating at a deficit.

     One of the property's major tenants, Linens 'N Things, opened a new
store in November 1996 one block away from the center in a newly-developed
smaller shopping center.  In order to create a better tenant mix and
improve cash flow at the center, the Partnership executed a termination
agreement (which included payment of a termination fee to the Partnership)
with Linens 'N Things which closed its store on April 1, 1997.  The
Partnership also executed leases with both an existing and a new tenant. 
Designer Shoe Warehouse ("DSW") extended its lease and relocated its store
to the space previously occupied by Linens 'N Things plus two adjacent
vacant spaces.  The new DSW opened in late May 1997 and now occupies a
total of 15,000 square feet.  Additionally, the Partnership executed a new
ten-year lease with Cost Plus World Market to open a new 17,519 square foot
store at the former DSW location.  The Cost Plus store is currently under
construction with an anticipated opening in early September 1997.

     For the remainder of 1997, leases representing approximately 2% of the
leasable square footage at the Fashion Square Shopping Center are scheduled
to expire.  As of the date of this report, the property is 83% leased.


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 June 30, 1997
and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

PART I.  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.

     It currently appears that the Partnership's goal of capital
appreciation will not be achieved.  Although some portion of the Limited
Partners' original capital is expected to be distributed from sales
proceeds, the Limited Partners are expected to receive significantly less
than their original investment.  Due to the significant amount of tenant
improvements and lease commissions budgeted in 1997, and the restrictions
placed by the lender on the use of the cash collateral account, the
Partnership ceased making operating distributions to Limited Partners
beginning in 1997.

     The Partnership continues to conserve its working capital.  All
expenditures are carefully analyzed and certain capital projects are
deferred when appropriate.  By conserving working capital, the Partnership
will be in a better position to meet the future needs of its property since
the availability of satisfactory outside sources of capital may be limited
given the current debt levels.  Due to these factors, the Partnership has
held its remaining investment property longer than originally anticipated
in an effort to maximize the return to the Limited Partners.  However,
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 its investment portfolio as
quickly as practicable.  Therefore, the affairs of the Partnership are
expected to be wound up no later than December 31, 1999, perhaps in the
1997-1998 time frame barring unforeseen economic developments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 and the
corresponding increase in property held for sale or disposition and escrow
deposits as compared to December 31, 1996 is due primarily to the funding
of approximately $100,000 of tenant allowances for leasehold improvements
at the Fashion Square Shopping Center and the required funding of the cash
collateral account of $180,000 associated with the letter of credit
obtained for the Fashion Square Shopping Center.

     The decrease in interest, rents and other receivables and in unearned
rents at June 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996 is primarily due to
the timing of rental collections at the Fashion Square Shopping Center.

     The increase in deferred expenses at June 30, 1997 as compared to
December 31, 1996 is due primarily to the payment of the annual letter of
credit fee associated with the letter of credit obtained for the Fashion
Square Shopping Center.

     The decrease in depreciation expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 is due to the classification of the Partnership's investment in the
Fashion Square Shopping Center as held for sale or disposition at December
31, 1996 and the corresponding suspension of depreciation charges in 1997.

     The increase in property operating expenses for the three months ended

the timing of recognition of certain operating costs at the Fashion Square
Shopping Center.
