                  ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     On March 20, 1996, First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(the "Company"), through two partnerships controlled by the Company, First
Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), of which the Company is the sole
general partner, and First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the "Indianapolis
Partnership"), of which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole
general partner, acquired (the "Acquisition") eight bulk warehouse and 20 light
industrial properties (the "Properties") in suburban Indianapolis, IN and
Cincinnati and Columbus, OH, totaling 3,037,382 square feet of gross leasable
area.  The Properties were purchased for approximately $70.5 million from
Shadeland Associates, L.P., Third Brookville Associates, L.P., Fourth Brookville
Associates, L.P., Fifth Brookville Associates, L.P., 2900 North Shadeland
Associates, L.P., Lincoln Business Center Associates, L.P., North Star
Associates, L.P., Highland Associates, L.P., Creek Road Business Park, L.P.,
Americana Parkway Associates, L.P., Shadeland Center One Associates, L.P.
(together the "First Highland Group").  Prior to the Acquisition, First Highland
Group was not affiliated with the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any
director or officer of the Company.  Following the acquisition, two former
employees of First Highland Group, Peter Murphy and Kevin Smith, were appointed
by the Company to the positions of Senior Regional Director and Regional
Director, respectively.  The Properties will continue to be used for bulk
warehouse and light industrial use under the existing lease terms.

     In connection with the Acquisition, the Company, through the Operating
Partnership and the Indianapolis Partnership, assumed existing indebtedness
under two mortgage loans with Monumental Life Insurance Company totaling $6.4
million and PFL Life Insurance Company totaling $3.0 million (together the
"Assumed Indebtedness"), incurred new indebtedness pursuant to a mortgage loan
with CIGNA Investments, Inc. in the amount of $36.8 million (the "New
Indebtedness"), issued Operating Partnership units with an aggregate value of
$12.1 million and funded the remainder of the purchase price with cash from
working capital.  The Assumed Indebtedness bears interest at 9.25%.  The New
Indebtedness bears interest at 7.5%.


                              ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

future development during the period January 1, 1996 through April 10, 1996, 
the closing date of the last property acquired.  The combined purchase price 
for these properties totaled approximately $127.5 million, excluding 
development costs subsequent to the acquisition of the properties and costs 
incurred by the Company in conjunction with the acquisition of the 
properties.  Of the 47 industrial properties acquired, one of the properties

a public offering of 5,175,000 shares of common stock (the "1996 Equity 
Offering"), or ii) borrowings under the Company's acquisition facility from a 
group of banks for which First National Bank of Chicago is the agent, or iii) 
another acquisition facility of the Company which was subsequently repaid 
with proceeds from the 1996 Equity Offering.  The Company has continued the 
pre-acquisition uses of the operating properties.  With respect to the 
property currently under development, the Company intends to operate the 
facility as industrial rental property.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Directors of 
   First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.


     We have audited the combined historical statements of revenues and certain
expenses of First Highland Properties and the Other Acquisition Properties as
described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of First Highland Properties' and the Other
Acquisition Properties' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial 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 audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     The accompanying combined historical statements of revenues and certain
expenses were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form
8-K/A No. 1 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of First Highland Properties' and the Other Acquisition
Properties' revenues and expenses.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of the First
Highland Properties and the Other Acquisition Properties for the year ended
December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(a)  Rental history commenced on January 1, 1995 for 21 of the buildings. 
     Rental history for the remaining three buildings, totaling 146,500 square
     feet, commenced in November 1995 when these buildings were placed in 
     service.

(b)  Rental history commenced for a 47,735 and 30,476 square foot building on
     January 1, 1995.  Construction of a 74,300 and 59,782 square foot building
     was completed in July and September, 1995, respectively.

     The unaudited Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain
Expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 reflects, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
interim statement.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

     The Statements exclude certain expenses such as interest, depreciation and
amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the Acquisition Properties that may not be comparable to
the expenses expected to be incurred in their proposed future operations. 
Management is not aware of any material factors relating to these properties
which would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future operating results.

      REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION

     The Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

     Rental income is recorded when due from tenants.  The effects of scheduled
rent increases and rental concessions, if any, are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the tenant's lease.


3.   FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES

     The Acquisition Properties are leased to tenants under net and semi-net
operating leases.  Minimum lease payments receivable, excluding tenant
reimbursement of expenses, under noncancelable operating leases in effect as of
December 31, 1995 are approximately as follows:

                       FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

     First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in the
state of Maryland on August 10, 1993.  The Company is a real estate investment
trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. On February 2, 1996, the
Company completed a stock offering of 5,175,000 shares (inclusive of the
underwriters overallotment option) of $.01 par value common stock (the "1996
Equity Offering").

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements have been
prepared based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial
statements of the Company.  The pro forma statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995 have been
prepared as if the properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1995 (the
"Acquisition Properties") had been acquired on either January 1, 1995 or the
lease commencement date if the property was developed and as if the 1996 Equity
Offering had been completed January 1, 1995.

     The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative
of what the Company's results of operations would have been for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 or for the year ended December 31, 1995, had the
Acquisition Properties been acquired as described above, nor do they purport to
present the future results of operations of the Company.


2.      PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS.

     (a)  The historical operations reflect the operations of the 28 properties
          (the "First Highland Properties") for the period January 1, 1996
          through the acquisition date March 20, 1996.
     
     (b)  In connection with the First Highland Properties acquisition, the
          Company assumed two mortgage loans totaling $9.4 million (the "Assumed
          Indebtedness") and also entered into a new  mortgage loan in the
          amount of $36.8 million (the "New Indebtedness").  The interest 
          expense adjustment reflects interest on the Assumed Indebtedness 
          and the New Indebtedness as if such indebtedness was outstanding 
          beginning January 1, 1996.
     
          The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charge for
          the First Highland Properties acquired on March 20, 1996 for the
          period from January 1, 1996 to the acquisition date.
     
          Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to
          Units in First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") owned by
          Unitholders other than the Company.  Income allocated to minority
          interest has been adjusted to reflect the income from Units issued in
          connection with the First Highland Properties acquisition as if such
          units had been issued January 1, 1996 and to reflect the earlier
          completion of the 1996 Equity Offering.

     (c)  The historical operations reflect the operations of the remaining 18
          properties acquired (the "Other Acquisition Properties") between
          January 1, 1996 and April 10, 1996, the closing date of the last 
          property acquired, for the period beginning on January 1, 1996 through
          their respective acquisition dates.

                     NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     
     
     
     (d)  The interest expense adjustment reflects an increase in the
          acquisition facility borrowings (at the 30-day London Interbank
          Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%) for the assumed earlier purchase of
          the Other Acquisition Properties offset by the related interest
          savings related to the assumed repayment of $59.4 million of
          acquisition facility borrowings on January 1, 1996 from the proceeds
          of the 1996 Equity Offering.
     
          The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charge for
          the Other Acquisition Properties for the period from January 1, 1996
          to their respective acquisition dates.

          Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to
          Units in the Operating Partnership owned by Unitholders other than the
          Company.  The minority interest adjustment reflects a 7.8% minority 
          interest throughout the first quarter of 1996 resulting from the 
          assumed issuance as of January 1, 1996 of Units in connection with 
          the acquisition of the First Highland Properties and of Company 
          common stock in the 1996 Equity Offering.
     
     (e)  The historical operations reflect the operations for the year ended
          December 31, 1995 of the First Highland Properties as if the
          properties had been acquired on January 1, 1995, except for properties
          which were developed for which operations are included beginning on
          the lease commencement date.
     
     (f)  The interest expense adjustment reflects interest on the Assumed
          Indebtedness and the New Indebtedness as if such indebtedness was
          outstanding beginning January 1, 1995.
     
          The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charge for
          the First Highland Properties as if the acquisition had occurred on
          January 1, 1995.
     
          Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to
          Units in the Operating Partnership owned by Unitholders other than the
          Company.  Income allocated to minority interest has been adjusted to
          reflect income allocated to Units issued in connection with the First
          Highland Properties acquisition as if the Units and the common stock
          from the 1996 Equity Offering were issued January 1, 1995.
     
     (g)  The historical operations reflect the operations of the Other
          Acquisition Properties as if the properties had been acquired at
          January 1, 1995, except for properties which were developed for which
          operations are included beginning on the lease commencement date.
     
     (h)  The interest rate adjustment reflects an increase in the acquisition
          facility borrowings (at LIBOR plus 2%) for the assumed earlier
          purchase of the Other Acquisition Properties offset by the related 
          interest savings related to the assumed repayment of $59.4
          million of acquisition facility borrowings on January 1, 1995 from 
          the proceeds of the 1996 Equity Offering.
     
          The depreciation and amortization adjustment reflects the charge for
          the Other Acquisition Properties as if the acquisitions had occured on
          January 1, 1995.

          Income allocated to minority interest reflects income attributable to
          Units in the Operationg Partnership owned by Unitholders other than
          the Company.  The minority interest adjustment reflects a 7.8% 
          minority interest throughout 1995 resulting from the assumed 
          issuance as of January 1, 1995 of Units in connection with the 
          acquisition of the First Highland Properties and of Company common 
          stock in the 1996 Equity Offering.
