                       AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO SCHEDULE 14D-1

         This Amendment No. 10 amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
14D-1 filed with the Commission on October 17, 1996 by Raleigh Capital
Associates L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), as amended
by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 thereto (the "Schedule 14D-1"),
relating to the tender offer by the Purchaser to purchase up to 100,000 of the
outstanding limited partnership interests and assignee interests therein
("Units") of Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), at a purchase price of $500 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"),
less the amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the Units
between October 17, 1996 (the "Offer Date") and the date of payment of the
Purchase Price by the Purchaser, net to the seller in cash, without interest,
upon the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 17, 1996 (the
"Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as each has been
or may be supplemented or amended from time to time (which together constitute
the "Offer"), to include the information set forth below.  Terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-1
and the Offer to Purchase.


Item 10.         Additional Information.

                 Item 10(e) is hereby amended as follows:

         On February 12, 1997, the Partnership sought leave to file, and
thereafter filed, an amended and supplemental counterclaim against the
Purchaser in the action which is pending in the Delaware Chancery Court.
Pursuant to the counterclaim the Partnership sought a declaratory judgment that
the Purchaser was not a Substituted Limited Partner in the Partnership and did
not possess voting rights under the Partnership Agreement. On February 20,
1997, the Purchaser and Vanderbilt Income and Growth Associates, L.L.C. denied
the substantive allegations made by the Partnership and filed their own
counterclaim against the Partnership, Arvida/JMB Managers, Inc., Judd D.
Malkin, Burton E. Glazov, Stuart C. Nathan, A. Lee Sacks and John C. Schreiber,
seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that (i) the Purchaser has
voting rights under the Partnership Agreement and Assignment Agreement, (ii)
the General Partner of the Partnership and certain of its directors breached
their fiduciary duties by refusing to admit the Purchaser as a Substituted
Limited Partner, (iii) the Partnership breached its implied obligations of
good faith and fair dealing by refusing to admit the Purchaser as a Substituted
Limited Partner and (iv) the directors of the General Partner acted in bad
faith in refusing to admit the Purchaser as a Substituted Limited Partner.

         On March 6, 1997, the Court granted the application of Gladys Beasley
to intervene in the action. Ms. Beasley seeks to represent a class of all
Holders or Holders of Interest in the Partnership, excluding the General
Partner, its affiliates and certain related parties. Ms. Beasley seeks a
declaration that all Holders or Holders of Interest have the right to vote to
remove the General Partner.


                 Item 10(f) is hereby amended as follows:

                 The information set forth in the press release attached hereto
as Exhibit (a)(17) is incorporated herein by reference.

March 7, 1997
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 Friday,
March 21, 1997.  Approximately 31,259.78 Units had been deposited pursuant to
Raleigh's offer as of the close of business on March 6, 1997.

       Raleigh's decision to extend the closing of its tender offer is the
result of continued uncertainty arising from the efforts of the General Partner
to deny voting rights to all unitholders other than those who acquired units in
the 1987 original public offering.  Although Raleigh believes that all
unitholders have voting rights, Raleigh has determined to extend the closing of
its offer at this time.  A hearing on the issue of voting rights is scheduled
to be held in the Delaware Chancery Court on April 7th, 8th and 9th.

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