December 23, 1996
Jericho, New York

            FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE . . . RALEIGH EXTENDS TENDER OFFER

        Raleigh Capital Associates L.P. has extended the expiration date of its
offer to purchase up to approximately 22% of the outstanding limited
partnership interests and assignee interests therein of Arvida/JMB
Partners, L.P. at $500 per interest until 12:00 Midnight, New York City time,
on Wednesday, January 15, 1997. Approximately 22,400 Units had been deposited
pursuant to Raleigh's offer as of the close of business on December 20, 1996.

        On December 13, 1996, an Illinois court issued a preliminary injunction
enjoining the $160 million Starwood Financing proposed for the Partnership
thus eliminating a condition to the closing of Raleigh's offer. In issuing the
injunction, the Court stated that it was "unpersuaded that the General Partner
entered into the proposed financing scheme for any reason other than 
maintaining its position as General Partner."

        Raleigh's decision to extend the closing of its tender offer was the
result of litigation initiated by the General Partner on December 16, 1996 in
which it has sought a declaratory judgment the effect of which would deny
voting rights to all unitholders other than those who acquired units in the
1987 original public offering. Raleigh believes that the General Partner's
position is without merit and designed to entrench itself by disenfranchising
limited partners. Although Raleigh believes that all unitholders have voting
rights, Raleigh has determined to extend the closing of its offer at this time.

        For additional information, contact The Herman Group, Inc., the
Information Agent for Raleigh's offer, at (800) 992-6146.

Dear Unitholder:
 
     On December 16, 1996, the General Partner of Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P.
filed papers in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking a declaratory judgment the
effect of which would be to deny voting rights to anyone who acquired limited
partnership units subsequent to the 1987 public offering of units. Raleigh
strongly believes that all unitholders have voting rights and that this is a
blatant attempt by the General Partner to disenfranchise limited partners and
further entrench itself. Unfortunately, one result of the General Partners's
actions is to force us to extend again the closing of our offer. The offer is
now scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight on Wednesday, January 15, 1997.
 
     Separately, we are pleased to report that an Illinois court has issued a
preliminary injunction enjoining the $160 million Starwood Financing proposed
for the Partnership thus eliminating a condition to the closing of our offer. In
issuing the injunction, the Court stated that it was "unpersuaded that the
General Partner entered into the proposed financing scheme for any reason other
than maintaining its position as General Partner."
 
     WE ARE ALSO PLEASED TO NOTE THAT THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE GENERAL
PARTNER HAS CHANGED ITS RECOMMENDATION AND IS NOW RECOMMENDING THAT UNITHOLDERS
WHO HAVE A CURRENT NEED OR DESIRE FOR LIQUIDITY TENDER THEIR UNITS IN THE OFFER.
 
     To tender your Units, send a completed and executed copy of the Letter of
Transmittal, a copy of which is enclosed, and any documents required by the
Letter of Transmittal to The Herman Group using the enclosed pre-addressed,
postage paid envelope at:
