FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
- ----------------------

                      LANDSING PACIFIC FUND, INC. ANNOUNCES
                      SALE OF REMAINING REAL ESTATE ASSETS
                      AND INITIAL LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTION

SAN MATEO,  CA -- Landsing  Pacific Fund,  Inc.  (AMEX:LPF)  announced today the
closing of the sale of the Fund's 14 remaining  properties  to Bedford  Property
Investors,  Inc.,  (NYSE:BED)  ("Bedford") for a purchase price of approximately
$49,700,000. The Fund also announced that it sold its Nohr Plaza property in San
Leandro, California for a purchase price of $790,000 in a separate transaction.

The  Fund  reported  that  its  Board  of  Directors  has  declared  an  initial
liquidating  distribution  of $4.54 per share  payable on  December  29, 1995 to
stockholders of record on December 22, 1995.


<PAGE>



The Fund  previously  announced  its  intention to transfer all of its remaining
assets prior to the end of 1995 to the Landsing Pacific Fund  Liquidating  Trust
(the "Trust"). Stockholders of the Fund would become beneficiaries of the Trust.
The beneficial interests in the Trust will not be transferable. The assets which
will be  transferred to the Trust include the Fund's  residual  interest in a $3
million letter of credit, which was received as part of the consideration in the
sale to Bedford,  and a $560,000 2-year mortgage loan collateralized by the Nohr
Plaza Property.

The purpose of the Trust is to complete the  liquidation  of the Fund's  assets,
pay all liabilities and make final liquidating distributions. The Fund estimates
that the final liquidating  distributions from the Trust would be in the general
range of $.25 to $.35 per share, in addition to the initial distribution.

After  the   December   22,  1995  record  date  for  the  initial   liquidating
distribution,  the Fund's common stock will no longer be eligible for trading on
the American Stock  Exchange.  The corporate stock transfer books will be closed
at that time.

Landsing Pacific  Fund, Inc. is a self-administered real estate investment trust
which shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "LPF."
