Reinvestment and Redemption Plans
The public offering of Units was terminated on September
30, 1988, and additional Units have been sold only in connection
with the Partnership's reinvestment plan. As of September 30,
1996, additional capital in the amount of $6,946,201 has been
raised from cash distributions reinvested and 167,873 additional
Units were issued in connection therewith. Of this amount
$3,114,209 has been used to redeem 88,822 Units.
The General Partner terminated the Partnership's
Reinvestment Plan, effective after the distribution for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. This determination was made based
on a belief that the Partnership will have sufficient capital for
the remaining life of the Partnership, which is currently
estimated at two to three years.
Amounts previously raised from the Reinvestment Plan and
not utilized for redemption of Units or other Partnership
purposes will continue to be available for such purposes, subject
to the limitation in the Partnership's Agreement of Limited
Partners that reinvestments not so utilized within 24 months of
their receipt shall be returned to the Limited Partners. At the
current time, the Partnership has approximately $1.17 million in
such proceeds.

The Quarterly Report to Limited Partners for the Quarter ended
September 30, 1996 should be inserted here.
QUARTERLY REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
FELLOW PARTNERS:
Your portfolio's year-to-date operating results were affected favorably by the
gain on the sale of Fairchild and by higher rental income and greater income
from operations at Tierrasanta and Kent Sea Park. The average leased status
improved at both of these properties, and rental rates were also up at Kent
Sea Park. The business park in Kent, Washington, is a popular product in a
healthy market, so demand for space at the property should remain strong in
the near term.
At Tierrasanta, however, as we anticipated, a tenant that occupied 38%
of the total space did not renew its lease, which expired at the end of
August. There is interest in the property, but we want to caution that the
costs associated with re-leasing, including making the buildings more
accessible to the physically challenged, may be high.
Continuing their first-half performance, Goshen Plaza and Westbrook
Commons suffered from a lower average leased status. At Westbrook, the effect
of the lower occupancy was exacerbated by slight increases in all expense
categories except bad debt by the timing of operating expense recoveries,
which will ultimately be passed along to tenants. On a positive note, Goshen
is now 88% leased, up 12 percentage points from the June 30, 1996, level and
more in line with market occupancy conditions.
The Fund's cash position increased significantly over last year,
primarily because of the inclusion of the proceeds from the sale of Fairchild,
which will be distributed to you in November. Cash distributed to limited
partners was less than in the first nine months of 1995, thus favorably
affecting the relative cash balance positions.
Cash Distributions
Cash from operations again allowed us to make the planned $0.40 per-unit
distribution for the third quarter. After the year ends, we will evaluate this
amount and, if deemed appropriate, make a change in the fourth quarter.
An additional $2.53 per unit is being paid to you for the Fund's 20%
share of the Fairchild sale proceeds. As you may remember, Realty Income Funds
II and III owned the other 80% of that property. As we move forward in the
process of liquidating the Fund's properties, our primary focus will shift
from the production of income to the strategic positioning of the properties
to maximize potential sales proceeds.
Outlook
With the exception of Tierrasanta, occupancy at the Fund's properties remained
stable or improved relative to their June 30, 1996, levels. In LaSalle's
opinion, this trend should continue into next year. We are aggressively
pursuing the re-leasing of Tierrasanta, but we want to caution, as we did in
the June report, that it may take a while because of competitive conditions in
that submarket.
We will also continue to poise the rest of the properties to take
advantage of their more favorable operating environments. In addition, we will
be closely analyzing each property to determine the optimum time to begin an
active marketing program.
Sincerely,
James S. Riepe
Chairman

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Unaudited
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The unaudited interim financial information contained in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements contained in the 1995 Annual Report
to Partners.
NOTE 1 - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND OTHER
As compensation for services rendered in managing the affairs of the
Partnership, the General Partner earns a partnership management fee equal to
9% of net operating proceeds. The General Partner earned a partnership
management fee of $134,000 during the first nine months of 1996. In addition,
the General Partner's share of cash available for distribution from operations
totaled $9,000 for the first nine months of 1996.
In accordance with the partnership agreement, certain operating expenses
are reimbursable to the General Partner. The General Partner's reimbursement
of such expenses totaled $48,000 for communications and administrative
services performed on behalf of the Partnership during the first nine months
of 1996.
An affiliate of the General Partner earned a normal and customary fee of
$3,000 from the money market mutual funds in which the Partnership made its
interim cash investments during the first nine months of 1996.
LaSalle Advisors Limited Partnership ("LaSalle") is the Partnership's
advisor and is compensated for its advisory services directly by the General
Partner. LaSalle is reimbursed by the Partnership for certain operating
expenses pursuant to its contract with the Partnership to provide real estate
advisory, accounting and other related services to the Partnership. LaSalle's
reimbursement for such expenses during the first nine months of 1996 totaled
$60,000.
An affiliate of LaSalle earned $63,000 in the first nine months of 1996
as property manager for several of the Partnership's properties.
NOTE 2 - PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS
On August 28, 1996, Fairchild Corporate Center, an office property in which
the Partnership had a 20% interest, was sold. The Partnership has subsequently
received net proceeds of $1,956,000. The net book value of the Partnership's
interest at the date of sale was $1,374,000, after deduction of accumulated
depreciation, and previously recorded permanent impairments. Accordingly, the
Partnership recognized a $582,000 gain on the sale of this property in the
third quarter.
Income from operations for this property, before the gain on real estate
sold, was $3,000 and $33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.
NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution of $2.93 per unit to

proceeds. The Limited Partners will receive $2,265,000, and the General
Partner will receive $3,000.
