1.     Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles since the user of these statements is assumed to read them in
conjunction with the most recent year-end audited financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (which
are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair statement of financial results for
the interim periods.  For further  information, refer to the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Great Lakes REIT, Inc. financial statements on
Form 10/A for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.     Properties Acquired in 1996

On January 1, 1996, the Company acquired a 43,300 square foot single-story office
building in Schaumburg, Illinois for an acquisition price of approximately
$1,086,000.

On April 17, 1996, the Company acquired a 96,000 square foot office building in
Springdale, Ohio, for a contract price of $6,075,000.  A portion of the purchase
price was financial using the Company's Bank of Boston line of credit. 

On July 24, 1996, the Company acquired a 41,500 square foot single-story office
building located in Lincolnshire, Illinois for a contract price of $2,800,000.

3.     Related Party Transactions

The following fees have been paid to Equity Partners Ltd., (the "Advisor") or

On February 27, 1996, the shareholders of the Company approved the acquisition of
all the outstanding shares of the Advisor in exchange for 100,000 of its shares
(the "Merger").  This transaction closed on April 1, 1996.  Upon completion of
the Merger, the cost of the Merger ($1,604,961) was assigned to contracts between
the Advisor and the Company.  As these contracts are effectively terminated,
these costs have been charged to contract termination expenses in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.  In addition, certain employees of the Advisor received
40,000 restricted shares of the Company.  The fair value of the restricted stock
awards ($480,000) has been deferred in the accompanying balance sheet.  These
amounts will be recognized as compensation expense when the restrictions on the
shares are removed.  As of April 1, 1996, the Company absorbed the employees of
the Advisor and is now self-managed and self-advised. 
  
4.     Financing Activities

On April 15, 1996, the Company refinanced its bank line of credit with the First
National Bank of Boston (as agent).  As of that date the new line of credit
allowed for maximum borrowings of $35,000,000 subject to certain loan covenants. 
On June 28, 1996, the maximum borrowings under the line of credit were increased
to $50,000,000 subject to certain loan covenants.  Interest on the Bank of Boston
line of credit accrues at LIBOR + 1.875% per annum.  Amounts outstanding under
this line of credit are due on April 12, 1998.  On June 30, 1996, the Company
extended its line of credit with American National Bank until June 30, 1997.  The
maximum amount available to be borrowed under this line of credit is $5,000,000.

                                                                  
5.     Proforma Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the results of operations of the
Company as if the acquisition of the Advisor and the property acquisitions in 1996
and 1995 had occurred at the beginning of 1995, after giving effect to certain
adjustments, including increased depreciation and interest expense.  The unaudited
pro forma summary information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations
as they would have been if the Company had acquired the Advisor and properties on
January 1, 1995.

6.    Private Offering of Stock
 
In August 1996, the Company completed an agreement with a group of institutional
investors to sell 3,867,000 of its common shares at $13 per share and issue 210,128
preferred shares (the "1996 Offering").  The preferred shares carry no dividend or
voting rights, and shall be converted to common shares on a one-for-one basis or
canceled, depending on the Company's attainment of certain objectives related to the
timing, pricing and size of a public offering of additional shares of the Company's
stock by September 30, 1998.

In connection with the 1996 Offering, in August of 1996 the Company issued 1,353,450
common shares and 73,548 preferred shares and received $17,594,850 in gross proceeds
from the sale of the common and preferred shares, and in October 1996, the Company
issued 1,353,450 common shares and 73,548 preferred shares and received gross
proceeds of $17,594,850 from the sale of those shares.  Pursuant to the terms of the
1996 Offering, in November 1996 the Company is to issue 1,160,100 common shares and
63,032 preferred shares and will receive gross proceeds of $15,081,300 from the sale
of these shares.

7.    Subsequent Events

On October 21, 1996, the Company sold the property commonly known as No. 10 Oak
Hollow, an 85,000 square foot three-story office building located in Southfield,
Michigan for a contract price of $9,300,000 resulting in a gain on sale of
approximately $2.1 million. The Company intends to reinvest the proceeds from this
sale in a similar property via a tax-free exchange completed according to Section
1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  On November 1, 1996, the Company acquired two
single-story office and office service center buildings totaling 127,000 square feet
located in Downers Grove, Illinois.  The total contract price was approximately $9.3
million and the purchase was funded from the previously escrowed sales proceeds from
the No. 10 Oak Hollow property described above.

On November 8, 1996, the Company acquired two three-story office buildings totaling
122,000 square feet located in West Allis, Wisconsin (a Milwaukee suburb) for a
contract price of approximately $8.0 million.  A portion of the purchase price was
funded from the Bank of Boston line of credit.

ITEM 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition

Overview

Great Lakes REIT, Inc. (the "Company") a Maryland corporation, was formed on June
22, 1992 to invest in income-producing real property.  The principal business of
the Company is the ownership, management, leasing, renovation, and acquisition of
suburban office and light industrial properties located in the Midwest.  At
September 30, 1996, the Company owned and operated twenty properties located in
suburban areas of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Columbus and
Minneapolis.  The Company leases office and industrial space to over 200 tenants
in a variety of businesses.

Over the past three years, the Company has expanded its real estate portfolio
through the acquisition of suburban office and office/service center properties
in the Midwest.  The Company has financed its growth by the issuance of
additional shares of its common stock and by issuing short and long-term mortgage
notes payable secured by its property assets. Growth in net income and funds from
operations (FFO) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to September 30, 1995 has been due to a combination of improved
operations of the Company's properties and the inclusion of the operating results
of properties acquired in 1995 and 1996 from the dates of their respective
acquisitions.

The Company believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of its operating
results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with the net income as presented
in the Condensed Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. 
However, FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income (as an
indicator of the Company's performance) or as a substitute for cash flows (as a
measure of liquidity).

Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 1996

In analyzing the operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
of the Company, the changes in rental income and property operating expenses,
from 1995 are due principally to three factors: (1) the addition of operating
results from properties acquired during 1996; (2) the addition of nine months of
operating results in 1996 of properties acquired in 1995 as compared to the
partial period of operating results from the dates of their respective
acquisitions in 1995 and (3) improved operations of properties during 1996 as
compared to 1995.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company acquired four new
investment properties.  The operating results of these properties have been
included in the Company's financial statements from the date of their
acquisition.  In 1995, the Company acquired 7 properties, and in 1996 a full nine
months of operations of these properties has been included in the Company's
financial statements.
<PAGE>
A summary of these changes as they impact rental income, and property operating
expenses follows:
                                                            Rental income     Property                                     operating
                                                                              expenses          
Increase due to inclusion
 of results of properties acquired
 during 1995                                  $6,663,000        3,242,000    
Increase due to 1996 acquisitions                621,000          451,000    
Improved operations in 1996
 compared to 1995                                779,000        (285,000)    
Total increase in 1996                        $8,063,000        3,408,000    

Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased by
$1,560,000 as the Company had greater amounts of long and short-term debt
outstanding in 1996.  This debt was used to finance the acquisition of properties
acquired in 1995 and 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $736,000 due to the increase in
the size of the Company, and certain one-time costs associated with the
relocation of the Company's offices and the adoption of certain employee
agreements.    

Depreciation and amortization increased in 1996 by $1,491,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on twenty properties in 1996 versus fourteen properties
in 1995.

In April 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of its Advisor in
exchange of 100,000 shares of the Company's stock.  All contracts between the
Advisor and the Company were transferred to the Company.  As these contracts are
effectively terminated, the costs assigned to the contracts ($1,604,961) have
been charged to contract termination expense in the nine months ended September
30, 1996.

Three months ended September 30, 1996

In analyzing the operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 of
the Company, the changes in rental income and property operating expenses, from
1995 are due principally to three factors: (1) the addition of operating results
from properties acquired during 1996; (2) the addition of a full quarter of
operating results in 1996 from properties acquired in 1995 as compared to the
partial quarter of operating results from the dates of their respective
acquisitions in 1995 and (3) improved operations of properties during 1996 as
compared to 1995.

The Company acquired four new investment properties in 1996.  The operating
results of these properties have been included in the Company's financial
statements from the date of their acquisitions.  In 1995, the Company acquired 7
properties, and in 1996 a full quarter of operations of these properties has been
included in the Company's financial statements.
<PAGE>
A summary of these changes as they impact rental income, and property operating
expenses follows:
                                                            Rental income     Property 
                                                                              operating
                                                                              expenses          
Increase due to inclusion
 of results of properties acquired
 in 1995                                      $1,850,000          795,000    
Increase due to 1996 acquisitions                358,000          243,000    
Improved operations in 1996
 compared to 1995                                142,000         (91,000)    
Total increase in 1996                        $2,350,000         $947,000    


Interest expense during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased by
$439,000 as the Company had greater amounts of long and short-term debt
outstanding in 1996.  This debt was used to finance the acquisistion of
properties acquired in 1995 and 1996.

General and administrative expenses increased by $277,000 due to the increase in
the size of the Company, and certain one-time costs associated with the
relocation of the Company's offices and the adoption of certain employee
agreements.     

Depreciation and amortization increased in 1996 by $494,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on twenty properties in 1996 versus fourteen properties
in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 1996 were $816,000, a decrease of
$487,000 as compared to December 31, 1995.  The decline is primarily due to the
Company continuing to invest in tenant and other capital improvements at its
properties and the acquisition of four investment properties in 1996.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its working capital and net cash provided by operating activities.  The
Company considers its cash provided by operating activities to be adequate to
meet operating requirements and to fund the payment of dividends in accordance
with the REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements (such as
scheduled mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, and significant
capital improvements) by long-term collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings
and the issuance of debt or additional equity securities in the Company.  In
April 1996, the Company established a $35 million revolving credit facility with
the First National Bank of Boston (as agent) and repaid substantially all of the
balance outstanding on the American National Bank line of credit.  In June of
1996, the Company increased its line of credit with the First National Bank of
Boston to $50 million, subject to certain loan covenants.  The Company also
extended its line of credit with the American National Bank until June 30, 1997. 
The maximum amount that may be borrowed from the American National Bank is $5
million.  At September 30, 1996, the Company has $27,602,368 outstanding on its
line of credit with the First National Bank of Boston with approximately
$2,323,000 available to borrow.  The amount available to be borrowed at September
30, 1996 under the American National Bank line of credit is $5 million.

In August 1996, the Company completed an agreement with a group of institutional
investors to sell 3,867,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $13 per
share and issue 210,128 shares of preferred stock.  In connection with the stock
sale, the Company received $17,594,850 in August 1996, $17,594,850 in October
1996, and will receive $15,081,300 on November 19, 1996.  The Company intends to
use the proceeds from this stock sale to acquire additional investment
properties, for tenant and other capital improvements at its existing properties,
and for general working capital purposes.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had
committed to fund approximately $1.1 million of tenant improvements at its
Springdale, Ohio property. The Company expects to fund these commitments, in
part, through its Bank of Boston and American National Bank lines of credit.
