                                PROXY STATEMENT
                                 -------------

                                  INTRODUCTION

    The  enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the present Board of Directors
(sometimes referred  to as  the "Board")  of BF  Enterprises, Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  the  principal executive  offices  of  which are
located at 100  Bush Street, Suite  1250, San Francisco,  California 94104.  The
approximate  date on which this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy are being
mailed to the Company's stockholders is  April 18, 1995. The proxy is  solicited
for use at the annual meeting of stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held at 9:30
a.m.  on Monday, May 22, 1995, at the Avila Golf & Country Club, 943 Guisando de
Avila, Tampa, Florida.

    Only holders of record of the Company's $.10 par value common stock ("Common
Stock") on  April 6,  1995 will  be  entitled to  vote at  the Meeting  and  any
adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. At the close of business on April 6,
1995,  there were 3,799,393 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each stockholder
will be entitled to  one vote per  share of Common Stock  held on each  proposal
considered  at the Meeting. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Shares of Common Stock held by  persons
who  abstain from voting  and broker "non-votes" will  be counted in determining
whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

    A stockholder giving a proxy in  the form accompanying this proxy  statement
has  the power to revoke the proxy prior to its exercise. A proxy can be revoked
by an instrument of revocation delivered  prior to the Meeting to the  Secretary
of  the Company, by a duly executed proxy  bearing a date later than the date of
the proxy being revoked,  or at the  Meeting if the  stockholder is present  and
elects to vote in person.

    The  cost of soliciting proxies will  be borne by the Company. Solicitations
may be made by directors, officers or  employees of the Company by telephone  or
personal interview as well as by mail. Solicitation by such persons will be made
on  a part-time basis,  and no special compensation  other than reimbursement of
actual expenses incurred in connection with such solicitation will be paid.

    The  Company  meets  the  definition  of  a  small  business  issuer   under
regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

                      NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NOMINEES OF THE PRESENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The  full Board of Directors, consisting  of four directors, will be elected
at the  Meeting to  hold  office until  the next  annual  meeting or  until  the
directors' successors are elected. It is intended that the proxies will be voted
for  the election of the four nominees named below. All four of the nominees are
presently directors of the Company. The present term of office of all  directors
will expire upon election of directors at the Meeting.

    The  proxies cannot be voted for more  than four persons. Should any nominee
become unavailable to serve as a director for any reason, proxies will be  voted
for the balance of those named and such substitute nominee as may be selected by
the  Board. The  Board does  not expect any  nominee to  become unavailable. The
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present
in person or by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is necessary to  elect
each nominee. Proxies solicited by the Board will be voted "FOR" the election of
the  four nominees named  below unless stockholders specify  in their proxies to
the contrary. Shares of Common Stock held by persons

                                       1
<PAGE>
who abstain from voting and  broker non-votes will not  be voted for or  against
any  of  the nominees.  Shares held  by  persons abstaining  will be  counted in
determining whether  a quorum  is present  for  the purpose  of voting  for  the
election  of  directors,  but broker  non-votes  will  not be  counted  for this
purpose.

    The following table lists the name and  age of each person nominated by  the
Board  for election as a director and all positions and offices with the Company
held by the nominee.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

    Brian  P.  Burns,  Chairman  of the  Board,  President  and  Chief Executive
Officer, has an employment agreement  with the Company terminating December  31,
1997,  pursuant to which Mr. Burns receives a salary of $180,000 per year. Under
his employment agreement, Mr. Burns also is eligible to receive an annual  bonus
not  exceeding his base  salary, although he  did not receive  a bonus for 1992,
1993 or 1994. The amount of any bonus is determined by the Board of Directors in
its  sole  discretion.  In  the  event  Mr.  Burns's  employment  is  terminated
involuntarily  other than for cause, or voluntarily within thirty days following
a change in control  of the Company,  Mr. Burns will be  paid, at his  election,
either (i) his salary, at the rate in effect on the date of termination, plus an
equal  amount annually in lieu of a bonus, through the stated expiration date of
his agreement, or (ii) the present value of such

                                       6

payments, subject  in either  case to  the limitation  that Mr.  Burns will  not
receive  any amount that would not be deductible by the Company under applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

    Each director of  the Company who  is not  also an employee  of the  Company
receives  an annual fee of $10,000 for services  as a director and $750 for each
board meeting attended. Outside directors also receive annual fees of $2,500  as
chairman  and  $1,500  as a  member  of  the Executive,  Audit  and Compensation
Committees. Directors  receive  reimbursement  for  travel  and  other  expenses
directly  related to activities  as directors, and  outside directors receive an
additional $500 for each board meeting they attend which is held more than three
hours' air travel from their residences.

    The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "1994 Plan")
provides for the periodic, automatic granting of non-qualified stock options  to
non-employee  directors of the  Company. Upon approval  of the 1994  Plan by the
Company's stockholders,  on May  5,  1994, each  of  the Company's  two  current
non-employee  directors, Messrs. McElvenny and Millard, received a non-qualified
option pursuant to the 1994 Plan to  purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock  with
an  exercise price of $3.875 per share, the fair market value of Common Stock on
that date. Each person who subsequently becomes a non-employee director will  be
granted  an option for  5,000 shares of Common  Stock on the date  of his or her
election  or  appointment.  Each  non-employee  director  also  will  receive  a
non-qualified option for 2,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of each annual
meeting  of  stockholders, including  the Meeting,  at which  he is  reelected a
non-employee director. All options granted under the 1994 Plan have an  exercise
price  equal to the fair market value of  Common Stock on the grant date, have a
term of ten years and one day and vest  at the rate of 25% per year for each  of
the  first four years, except that upon the death, disability or retirement of a
non-employee director,  or upon  a director's  failure to  win reelection  after
nomination  at the recommendation of the Board of Directors, or upon a change of
control (as  defined in  the  1994 Plan),  all  options vest  automatically  and
immediately.  All options  held by  a director terminate  on the  date that such
individual ceases  to  be a  director,  provided  that all  options  vested  and
exercisable  on  that date  may be  exercised for  a  period of  up to  one year
following termination  or,  in the  case  of  termination by  reason  of  death,
disability,  retirement or failure to win  reelection, as described above, for a
period of  three years.  A total  of 100,000  shares of  Common Stock  has  been
authorized for issuance under the 1994 Plan.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

    Section  16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
officers and directors, and persons who own ten percent or more of a  registered
class  of the Company's equity securities, to  file with the SEC initial reports
of ownership  and reports  of changes  in ownership  of Common  Stock and  other
equity  securities of the  Company. Officers, directors and  ten percent or more
stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with  copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

    To  the Company's knowledge,  based solely on  review of the  copies of such
reports furnished  to the  Company,  or written  representations that  no  other
reports  were  required, during  the fiscal  year ended  December 31,  1994, all
officers, directors,  and ten  percent stockholders  complied with  all  Section
16(a) filing requirements.

                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

    Arthur  Andersen  LLP,  independent  public accountants,  has  acted  as the
Company's auditors  since  1987,  and  the Board  intends  to  reappoint  Arthur
Andersen  LLP to audit  the books, records  and accounts of  the Company for the
year ending December 31, 1995. Representatives  of that firm will be present  at
the  Meeting with the opportunity  to make a statement if  they desire to do so.
They will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.
