ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         BANK ONE CENTER.  On October 22, 1997, Crescent Real Estate Equities
Company ("Crescent Equities" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the
"Company"), together with affiliates of TrizecHahn Corporation ("Trizec")
acquired Bank One Center, a 60-story Class A office property located in the
Central Business District ("CBD") submarket of Dallas, Texas.  Construction of
the office property was completed in 1987.  Situated on a 2.88-acre site, Bank
One Center contains approximately 1.5 million square feet of net rentable area
with a three-level underground parking structure that accommodates
approximately 667 cars and a seven-level offsite parking garage that
accommodates approximately 885 cars.

         The acquisition was made by Main Street Partners, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), a Texas limited partnership in which the Company and Trizec each
own a 50% interest.  Crescent 1717 Main, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability
company that is wholly owned by Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
Partnership, and TrizecHahn 1717 Main St., Inc., a Delaware corporation, serve
as the general partners of the Partnership.

         One land parcel underlying the building is leased by the Partnership
pursuant to a long-term ground lease expiring in May 2042.  The annual rental
under this lease effective as of June 1997 is approximately $285,541, escalating
at 6% per year through May 2011 and at 7% per year through May 2028.  Ground
rent will be re-determined in 2028 (based on an appraisal mechanism set forth in
the ground lease), with the "calculated rent" (as such term is defined  in the
ground lease) due for the remainder of the ground lease term.  The ground lease
provides four, 10-year renewal options. The Partnership owns the remaining land
parcels underlying the building in fee simple. Management believes that Bank One
Center is suitable and adequate for continued use as a Class A office property
and is adequately covered by insurance.

         The Partnership acquired Bank One Center for approximately $238 million
from two unaffiliated entities.  The purchase price was funded with (i) proceeds
of $125 million of debt ("Note One") and $30 million of debt ("Note Two")
provided by The Travelers Insurance Company and (ii) capital contributions of
$41.5 million from each of the Company and Trizec partner groups.  The Company's
capital contribution of $41.5 million was funded through a draw under the
Company's unsecured $450 million credit facility from a consortium of banks led
by BankBoston, N.A.  Note One, a nonrecourse loan, bears interest at the LIBOR
rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus 1.55%, adjusted monthly (subject to
an interest rate cap of 8% for the first year and 8.7% for the second year), and
has a four-year term.  Note One provides for an initial two-year interest only
period (through October 1999) followed by principal amortization based on a
25-year amortization schedule through maturity in November 2001, at which time
the outstanding principal balance is due and payable. Note Two, a nonrecourse
loan, bears interest at the LIBOR rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus
2.75%, adjusted monthly, and has a four-year term.  Note Two provides for an
initial two-year interest only period (through October 1999) followed by
principal amortization based on a 25-year amortization schedule through maturity
in November 2001, at which time the outstanding principal balance is due and
payable. Both Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part subject to certain
prepayment conditions in the first and second year. 

         Bank One Center was 70% leased as of August 31, 1997, with a weighted
average full-service rental rate per square foot of $19.52.  Bank One Center is
leased to approximately 41 tenants, the major tenants having principal
businesses in the industry sectors of banking and professional services
(consulting and law). One tenant in Bank One Center leases more than 10% of the
total net rentable square footage.  As of August 31, 1997, Bank One Texas, N.A.,
a bank, leased approximately 350,000 net rentable square feet (approximately
22.8% of the net rentable square footage of Bank One Center) pursuant to a lease
that expires in January 2010.  The lease with Bank One Texas, N.A., is a triple
net lease, in which the tenant is responsible for payment, in addition to base
rent, of most operating costs of the property, including utilities, real estate
taxes and insurance. The current base rental rate per square foot is $12.75
which increases to 90% of "market", as such term is defined  in the lease, (but
not in excess of $20.00 per square foot or less than $16.00 per square foot)
effective February 1, 2000 through January 31, 2004 and to 90% of "market" (but
not in excess of $24.50 per square foot or less than $20.00 per square foot)
effective February 1, 2005 through the termination of the lease.  The lease
provides for four, 5-year renewal options for all or a portion of the premises
(not less than 50%) at the greater of the rental rate then due under the lease
or the "renewal fair market rental value", as defined in the lease.  In
addition, the lease provides the lessee with various options to lease additional
space.
                                                                             
         The Dallas CBD submarket consists of 18.3 million square feet of Class
A office space, which was approximately 30.6% of Dallas' total Class A office
space at September 30, 1997.  At September 30,



                                      2
<PAGE>   3
1997, the Dallas CBD Class A office space was 80% occupied, and the average
quoted market rental rate for such space was $19.68 per square foot.

         Upon completion of this acquisition, the aggregate tax basis of
depreciable real property and improvements and personal property for Bank One
Center for federal income tax purposes will be approximately $238 million.  For
federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over lives which range from 15 to 39 years for real property and
improvements and the double declining balance method over lives which range
from 5 to 7 years for the personal property.

         The 1996 realty tax rate for real property was $2.68 per $100 of the
$88.0 million assessed value.  The total amount of tax at this rate for 1996
was approximately $2.4 million.

         For the year ended December 31, 1996, and the eight months ended
August 31, 1997, utility expense was approximately $1.9 million and $1.3
million, respectively, and expenses for repairs, maintenance and contract
services were approximately $3.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

         The Partnership does not plan to renovate Bank One Center, other than
expenditures associated with the routine maintenance of the property.

         The following table sets forth year-end occupancy and average 
full-service rental rate per leased square foot (excluding storage space) for 
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, and for the eight months ended 
August 31, 1997.  Information relating to prior periods is not available.

      rent or scheduled rent increases that would be taken into account under
      generally accepted accounting principles and including expenses payable by

         Certain matters discussed within this Form 8-K may be interpreted to
be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities
laws.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be
no assurance that these expectations will be realized.  Factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include the
failure of pending investments to close, changes in general economic
conditions, changes in local real estate conditions, changes in industries in
which the Company's principal tenants compete, the failure to timely lease
unoccupied square footage, the failure to timely re-lease occupied  square
footage upon expiration of leases, the inability to generate sufficient
revenues to meet debt service payments and operating expenses, the
unavailability of equity and debt financing and other risks described in the
Form 8-K.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership
and TrizecHahn Office Properties, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of excess of revenues over specific
operating expenses (as defined in Note 2) of Bank One Center for the year ended
December 31, 1996, and the eight month period ended August 31, 1997.  These
statements are the responsibility of the Property's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our
audits.

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

In our opinion, the statements referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses of
Bank One Center for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the eight month
period ended August 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF EXCESS OF REVENUES
                        OVER SPECIFIC OPERATING EXPENSES           

                     AUGUST 31, 1997, AND DECEMBER 31, 1996



1.    ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Description of Property

Bank One Center (the "Property") is a 60-story office tower located in the
central business district of Dallas, Texas.  The Property contains
approximately 1,531,000 rentable square feet as well as underground and
attached above ground parking garages.  A parcel of the Property's land is
subject to a ground lease dated December 28, 1981, which expires May 31, 2042.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Rental Income and Deferred Rent Concessions

In connection with obtaining certain tenants under long-term leases, property
management grants rent concessions.  The aggregate future minimum rental
payments due over the terms of the leases are recognized as rental income on a
straight-line basis over the full term of the leases, including the periods of
rent concessions.

Recoveries

A portion of the operating expenses is charged back to tenants on a monthly
basis based upon estimated expenses.  These charges are adjusted at period-end,
based upon actual expenses.

2.    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:

The accompanying statements of excess of revenues over specific operating
expenses is presented on the accrual basis of accounting.  These statements are
not intended to be a complete presentation of revenues and operating expenses
for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the eight month period ended August
31, 1997, as certain items such as depreciation, amortization, and interest
expense have been excluded since they are not comparable to the proposed future
operations of the Property.

3.    PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:

The Property entered into a management agreement with LaSalle Partners
Management Limited (the "Manager") in November 1995.  The Manager requires a
management fee of 1% of gross rental receipts, as defined.  Total management
fees for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the eight month period ended
August 31, 1997, were approximately $232,000 and $166,000, respectively.

4.    SIGNIFICANT TENANT:

The largest tenant of the Property occupies approximately 350,000 square feet,
or 23%, of the total square footage.  This lease expires in January 2010.
