Item 5.  Other Events.

        A special meeting of the shareholders of Metropolitan Realty
Corporation, a Michigan corporation ("MRC") was held on December 6, 1996 at
10:00 a.m. at the Renaissance Conference Center, 300 Renaissance Center, L-2,
Detroit, Michigan (the "Meeting") to consider and vote upon the approval and
adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Dissolution and Restructuring (the
"Restructuring Agreement") dated as of September 24, 1996 between MRC and
Metropolitan Realty Company, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("MRC, LLC") and the transactions contemplated thereby (the "Restructuring"),
including:

        (a)    the transfer of the assets of MRC to, and the assumption of the
               liabilities of MRC by, MRC, LLC in exchange for its Class A
               Membership Interests; and

        (b)    the dissolution of MRC, and the distribution of the Class A
               Membership Interests to MRC's shareholders who own 50,000
               shares or more of Common Stock beneficially or of record on
               October 9, 1996 (the "Record Date ") (the "Majority
               Shareholders") in liquidation; and

        (c)    the cash payment, as of September 30, 1995, of $9.03 per share
               to the holders, beneficially or of record, of fewer than 50,000
               shares of MRC Common Stock on the Record Date (the "Minority
               Shareholders") in lieu of the distribution of the Class A
               Membership Interests, without any interest thereon.

        The Board of Directors fixed the close of business on October 9, 1996
as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at
the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. There were 4,532,169 shares of MRC's
Common Stock issued and outstanding on that date.

        There were 2,646,738 shares present at the Meeting (58.399% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock), represented by 18 proxies.
This constituted a quorum. These shares were voted as follows with respect to
the approval and adoption of the Restructuring Agreement:


                                                     Number of Shares


For                                                      2,411,234
Against                                                     10,004
Abstain                                                    225,500


        The proposal for the Restructuring therefore passed, and the
Restructuring was consummated effective December 9, 1996, the date of the
filing of MRC's Certificate of Dissolution with the Michigan Department of
Consumer and Industry Services, Corporation, Securities and Land Development
Bureau.
