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.

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, 1006, 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 financed using the Company's Bank of Boston bank line of credit.

3.  Related Party Transactions

The following fees will be or have been paid to Equity Partners Ltd., (the

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.  This transaction closed on April 1, 1996.  Upon completion of the 
merger, the cost of the merger ($1,597,273) 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 quarter
ended June 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.  The new line of credit allows 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 new 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.

National Bank 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 industrial properties located in the Midwest.
At June 30, 1996, the Company owns and operates eighteen properties located in
suburban areas of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati 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 six
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to June 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
Six months ended June 30, 1996

In analyzing the operating results for the six months ended June 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 six 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 six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company acquired two new
investment properties.  The operating results of these properties have been
included in the Company's financial statements from the date of its acquisition.
In 1995, the Company acquired 7 properties, and in 1996 a full six months of
operations of these properties has been included in the Company's financial
statements. 

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
 after January 1, 1995                        $5,129,000        2,252,000
Increase due to 1996 acquisitions                263,000          208,000

Improved operations in 1996
 compared to 1995                                313,000                -
Total increase in 1996                        $5,705,000        2,460,000

Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$1,121,000 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 $459,000 due to the increase in
the size of the Company.  

Depreciation and amortization increased in 1996 by $997,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on eighteen properties in 1996 versus eleven 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 ($1,597,273) have
been charged to contract termination expense in the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996. 

Three months ended June 30, 1996

In analyzing the operating results for the quarter ended June 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 full quarter of operating
results in 1996 of 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 two new investment properties.  The operating results of
these properties have been included in the Company's financial statements from
the date of its acquisition.  In 1995, the Company acquired 7 properties, and in
1996 a full quarter months of operations of these properties has been included
in the Company's financial statements.

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
 after January 1, 1995                        $2,438,000          989,000
Increase due to 1996 acquisitions                201,000          152,000      

Improved operations in 1996
 compared to 1995                                141,000            2,000
Total increase in 1996                        $2,780,000        1,143,000

Interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased by $535,000 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 $285,000 due to the increase in
the size of the Company.     

Depreciation and amortization increased in 1996 by $496,000 as the Company
incurred these expenses on eighteen properties in 1996 versus eleven properties
in 1995. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 1996 were $328,000, a decrease of
$975,000 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 two 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 June 30, 1996, the Company has $29,002,368
outstanding on its line of credit with the First National Bank of Boston with
approximately $950,000 available to borrow.  The amount available to be borrowed
at June 30, 1996 under the American National Bank line of credit is $5 million.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had committed to a $1.3 million (with $600,000
remaining outstanding) renovation program at its Oak Brook, Illinois property.
The Company has also 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. 

Funds from Operations (FFO)

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(NAREIT), is a measure of operating performance for real estate investment
trusts and is defined as net income computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains and losses from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and
amortization.  In addition to the mandated adjustments to net income, the
Company excludes rental income recorded due to the GAAP required
straight-lining' adjustment for contractual rent increases included in certain
leases.  FFO for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is calculated by the Company
as follows:

                                                    1996          1995
