The undersigned Registrant hereby amends and supplements its
Report on Form 8-K, dated  August 10, 1994, by adding the
following thereto:


Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The acquisition of the Milpitas Town Center (the "Property") was
closed on August 11, 1994.  Therefore, the date of earliest event
report on this Form 8-K/A was changed to August 11, 1994 from
August 10, 1994, as it was reported on the previously filed Form
8-K.

The Property had Phase I environmental site assessments conducted
(which involve inspection without soil sampling or groundwater
analysis) by independent environmental consultants and has been
inspected for hazardous materials as part of the Company's
acquisition inspections.  The Phase I assessment indicates that
the groundwater under the Property either has been or may in the
future be impacted by the migration of contaminants originating
from an off-site source.  According to information available to
the Company, the responsible party for this off-site source has
been identified and has begun remediation pursuant to a clean-up
program mandated by a California environmental authority.  This
clean-up program is backed by an insurance policy from CIGNA up
to $10 million. The Company does not believe that this
environmental matter will impair the future value of the Property
in any significant respect, or that the Company will be required
to fund any portion of the cost of remediation, although there
can be no assurance in this regard.


Item 7. Financial Statement and Exhibits is supplemented by the
     following:

     Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating
     Expenses for the Year Ended December 31, 1993 (see
     attachment)
     
       Proforma Financial Information (see below)
     
  Proforma Financial Information

     In lieu of proforma financial statements, the following
     narrative describes the proforma financial statement effects
     resulting from the Registrant's acquisition of the Property.

     Had this transaction taken place as of June 30 1994,
     certain proforma effects would have been reflected in the
     balance sheet of the Registrant as of  June 30, 1994.   Real
     estate investments would have been increased in the amount
     of $6,440,000, other assets would have been decreased in the
     amount of $118,000, bank loans payable would have been
     increased in the amount of $5,670,000, acquisitions payable
     would have been increased in the amount of $600,000, and
     other liabilities would have been increased in the amount of
     $52,000.

     Had this transaction taken place as of January 1, 1993,
     certain proforma effects would have been reflected in the
     statement of operations of the Registrant for the year ended
     December 31, 1993.  Rental income would have been increased
     in the amount of  $922,000; depreciation expense would have
     been increased in the amount of $100,000; and operating
     expenses would have been increased in the amount of
     $307,000.  Net income reported for that period would have
     been increased by $515,000.  Net income per share for 1993
     of $0.53 would have increased to $0.61 based on 5,975,900
     weighted average number of common shares.

     Had this transaction taken place as of January 1, 1994,
     certain proforma effects would have been reflected in the
     statement of operations of the Registrant for the six months
     ended  June 30, 1994.  Rental income would have been
     increased in the amount of $499,000; depreciation expense
     would have been increased in the amount of $50,000; and
     operating expenses would have been increased in the amount
     of $92,000.  Net income reported for that period would have
     been increased by $357,000.  Net income per share for the
     six-month period ended June 30, 1994 of $0.35 would have
     increased to $0.41 based on 6,140,557 weighted average
     number of common and common equivalent shares.
                                
                                
                                
                                
                                
                            SIGNATURE
                                
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Registrant has duly caused this amendment to the report
to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly
authorized.

The Board of Directors
Bedford Property Investors, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross
Income and Direct Operating Expenses (the Summary) of Milpitas
Town Center (the Property) for the year ended December 31, 1993.
The Summary is the responsibility of management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Summary based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the Summary is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the Summary.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall Summary
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Summary was prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Current Report on Form
8-K of Bedford Property Investors, Inc.) and excludes certain
expenses, described in note A, that would not be comparable to
those resulting from the proposed future operations of the
Property.

In our opinion, the Summary referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the gross income and direct operating
expenses, exclusive of expenses described in note A, of Milpitas
Town Center for the year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating
Expenses
     
A.  Property and Basis of Accounting
 The Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating
 Expenses has been prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of
 Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
 relates to the operations of  Milpitas Town  Center, a suburban
 industrial complex located in Milpitas, California,  with
 approximately 103,000 rentable square feet.

 In accordance with Rule 3-14, direct operating expenses are
 presented exclusive of depreciation, interest, management fees
 and income taxes as these expenses would not be comparable to
 the proposed future operations of the property.

  The acquisition of the property may result in a new valuation
  for purposes of determining future property tax assessments.
     
  Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the
  terms of the related leases.  For 1993, the aggregate rental
  income exceeded contractual rentals by $109,644.

  B.  Estimated Taxable Operating Results and Cash to be Made
  Available by Operations (unaudited)
    Pro forma cash available from operations and proforma taxable
    income for 1993 are shown below.  Pro forma taxable operating
    results are derived by deducting depreciation; however, as a
    Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), Bedford Property
    Investors, Inc. is not subject to federal income tax if it
    qualifies under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") REIT
    provisions.  That is, Bedford Property Investors, Inc. is not
    subject to federal income tax if it distributes 95% of its
    taxable income and otherwise complies with the provisions of
    the Code.  Bedford Property Investors, Inc. intends to make
    distributions in order to maintain its REIT status.  These
    dividends paid to the REIT shareholders are taxable to the
    shareholders upon distribution.
