                   REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENTS


Rivertree Court, Vernon Hills, Illinois

     On July 17, 1997, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center located
at 701 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Vernon Hills, Illinois known as Rivertree Court
from JMB Income Properties, LTD., - XIII, an unaffiliated third party, for
approximately $31,750,000 which included. the Company assuming the existing
first mortgage loan of $15,700,000.  The mortgage requires interest only
payments at a rate of 10.03% per annum until the maturity date of January 1,
1999.  The balance of the purchase price was funded using cash and cash
equivalents.  The purchase price was approximately  $106.17 per square foot,
which the Company concluded was fair and reasonable and within the range of
values indicated in an appraisal received by the Company and presented to the
Company's board of directors.

      Rivertree Court was built in 1988 and consists of three one-story, multi-
tenant retail facilities aggregating 299,055 rentable square feet.  As of
September 30, 1997, Rivertree Court was 97% leased (100% leased if the master
lease, which lasts for one year, is included in the calculation).  In evaluating
Rivertree Court as a potential acquisition, the Company considered a variety of
factors including location, demographics, tenant mix, price per square foot,
existing rental rates compared to market rates, and occupancy.   The Company
believes that the center is located within a vibrant economic area.  Although
approximately 28% of the rentable square feet at Rivertree Court is leased to
two tenants, the Company's

                               1


management believes that retenanting of any space which is vacated in the future
should be accomplished relatively quickly and at rental rates comparable to
those currently paid by the tenants at the facility.  As part of the purchase,
the Company received a $250,000 credit at close which is being held by the
Company to compensate for any rent loss from current or anticipated vacancies.
The Company did not consider any other factors materially relevant to the
decision to acquire the property.

     The Company does not anticipate making any significant repairs and
improvements to Rivertree Court over the next few years.  Nevertheless, a
substantial portion of any cost of repairs and improvements would be paid by the
tenants.

     The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the
occupancy rate at Rivertree Court expressed as a percentage of total gross
leasable area and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.


     Year Ending       Occupancy Rate as of              Effective Annual
     December 31,     December 31, of Each Year        Rental Per Square Ft.

         1996               90%                            $11.98

         1995               99%                             11.50

         1994               98%                             11.78

         1993               97%                             11.75

         1992               90%                             11.10


     Tenants leasing more than 10% of the total square footage are Best Buy, an
electronic and appliance chain, which leases 44,384 square feet, or
approximately 15% of the rentable square feet and Plitt Theatres, a movie
theater, which leases 40,000 square feet, or approximately 13% of the rentable
square feet.  The lease with Best Buy requires Best Buy to pay base rent equal
to $8.78 per square foot per annum payable monthly-until January 31, 2001, $9.48
per square foot per annum payable monthly until January 31, 2006 and $10.18 per
square foot per annum payable monthly until January 31, 2011.  The lease with
Best Buy contains no option to renew.  The lease with Plitt Theatres, requires
Plitt Theatres to pay base rent equal to $18.00 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until February 28, 1998, $20.00 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until February 28, 2003  and $22.00 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until February 28, 2008.  The lease with Plitt Theatres contains
two five year  options to renew.  If the first option is exercised, Plitt
Theatres will be required to pay base rent equal  to $22.00 per square foot per
annum payable monthly until February 28, 2013.  If the second option is
exercised, Plitt Theatres will be required to pay base rent equal to $23.83 per
square foot per annum payable monthly until February 28, 2018.

     For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
Rivertree Court will be approximately $25,000,000.   Depreciation expense, for
tax purposes, will be computed using the straight-line method.    Buildings and
improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 40 years.

     Information regarding real estate taxes payable in 1997 for the tax year
ended 1996 (the most recent tax year for which information is generally
available) were $607,457.  The real estate taxes payable were calculated by
multiplying Rivertree Court's assessed value by an equalizer of 1.0% and a tax
rate of 7.422%.

                               2


     On September 30, 1997, a total of 289,829 square feet was leased to forty-
one tenants at Rivertree Court.  The following tables set forth certain

     The Company received an appraisal prepared by an independent appraiser who
is a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
which reported a fair market value for the Rivertree Court property, as of July
10, 1997, of $32,000,000.  Appraisals are estimates of value and should not be
relied on as a measure of true worth or realizable value.


Shorecrest Plaza, Racine, Wisconsin

     On July 25, 1997, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center located
at 3900 Erie Street in Racine, Wisconsin known as Shorecrest Plaza from
Shorecrest Shopping Center, L.L.C., an unaffiliated third party, for
approximately $5,956,000.  The purchase price was funded using cash and cash
equivalents.  The purchase price was approximately $65.32 per square foot, which
the Company concluded was fair and reasonable and within the range of values
indicated in an appraisal received by the Company and presented to the Company's
board of directors.

     Shorecrest Plaza was built in 1977 and consists of a one-story, multi-
tenant retail facility aggregating 91,272 rentable square feet.  As of September
30, 1997, Shorecrest Plaza was 96% leased (100% leased if the master lease,
which lasts for one year is considered).  In evaluating Shorecrest Plaza as a
potential acquisition, the Company considered a variety of factors including
location, demographics, tenant mix, price per square foot, existing rental rates
compared to market rates, and occupancy.  The Company believes that the center
is located within a vibrant economic area. Although approximately 61%

                               5

of the rentable square feet at Shorecrest Plaza is leased to two tenants, the
Company's management believes that retenanting of any space which is vacated in
the future should be accomplished relatively quickly and at rental rates
comparable to those currently paid by the tenants at the facility.  The Company
did not consider any other factors materially relevant to the decision to
acquire the property.

     The Company does not anticipate making any significant repairs and
improvements to Shorecrest Plaza over the next few years.  Nevertheless, a
substantial portion of any cost of repairs and improvements would be paid by the
tenants.

     The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the
occupancy rate at Shorecrest Plaza expressed as a percentage of total gross
leasable area and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.  The
Seller acquired the property in 1996 and information for prior years was not
available.


                                                 Effective Annual

         1996               93%                       $7.47



     Tenants leasing more than 10% of the total square footage are Schultz Savo
Piggly Wiggly, a grocery store, which leases 41,262 square feet, or
approximately 45% of the rentable square feet and Wisconsin Health and Fitness,
a health club, which leases 14,475 square feet or approximately 16% of the
rentable square feet.  The lease with Schultz Savo Piggly Wiggly requires
Schultz Savo Piggly Wiggly to pay base rent equal to  $6.50 per square foot per
annum payable monthly until January 31, 2010.  The  lease with Schultz Savo
Piggly Wiggly contains four options to renew, each for five years and at a base
rent equal to $6.50 per square foot per annum payable monthly.  The lease with
Wisconsin Health and Fitness requires Wisconsin Health and Fitness to pay base
rent equal to $6.00 per square foot per annum payable monthly until March 31,
1999, $6.25 per square foot per annum payable monthly until March 31, 2000,
$6.50 per square foot per annum payable monthly until March 31, 2001, $6.75 per
square foot per annum payable monthly until March 31, 2002, $7.00 per square
foot per annum payable monthly until March 31, 2005 and $7.58 per square foot
per annum payable monthly until March 31, 2007.  The lease with Wisconsin Health
and Fitness contains one option to renew for five years and requires Wisconsin
Health and Fitness to pay base rent equal to $7.58 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until March 31, 2010 and $8.00 per square foot per annum payable
monthly until March 31, 2012.

     For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
Shorecrest Plaza will be approximately $4,800,000.  Depreciation expense, for
tax purposes, will be computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 40 years.

     Real estate taxes payable in 1997 for the tax year ended 1996 are $100,591.

     On September 30, 1996, a total of 87,372 square feet was leased to thirteen
tenants at Shorecrest Plaza. The following tables set forth certain information
with respect to the amount of and expiration of leases at this Neighborhood
Retail Center.

                               8

space which is vacated in the future should be accomplished relatively quickly
and at rental rates comparable to those currently paid by the tenant at the
facility.  The Company did not consider any other factors materially relevant to
the decision to acquire the property.

  The Company does not anticipate making any significant repairs over the next
few years because the facility was completed in 1997.  Nevertheless, a
substantial portion of any costs of repairs and improvements would be paid by
the tenant.

  This facility was completed in 1997 and since that time has been fully
occupied by Dominick's Finer Foods.

  The sole tenant is Dominick's Finer Foods who leases 100% of the rentable
square feet.  Dominick's Finer Foods is a regional grocery store chain.  The
lease with Dominick's Finer Foods requires Dominick's Finer Foods to pay base
rent equal to $11.75 per square foot per annum payable monthly until April 30,
2007 and $11.90 per square foot per annum payable monthly from June 1, 2007
until May 31, 2017.  The Dominick's Finer Foods lease also contains five options
to renew the lease each for a five year period.  If the first option is
exercised, Dominick's Finer Foods will be required to pay base rent equal to
$12.40 per square foot per annum payable monthly from June 1, 2017 until May 31,
2022.  If the second option is exercised, Dominick's Finer Foods will be
required to pay base rent equal to $12.90 per square foot per annum payable
monthly from June 1, 2022 until May 31, 2027.  If the third option is exercised,
Dominick's Finer Foods will be required to pay base rent equal to $13.40 per
square foot per annum payable monthly from June 1, 2027 until May 31, 2032.  If
the fourth option is exercised, Dominick's Finer Foods will be required to pay
base rent equal to $13.90 per square foot per annum payable monthly from June 1,
2032 until May 31, 2037.  If the fifth option is exercised, Dominick's Finer
Foods will be required to pay base rent equal to $14.40 per square foot per
annum payable monthly from June 1, 2037 until May 31, 2042.

     For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
Dominick's will be approximately $6,900,000.  Depreciation expense, for tax
purposes, will be computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 40 years.

     Information regarding real estate taxes payable in 1997 for the tax year
ended 1996 (the most recent tax year for which information is generally
available) is not available since Dominick's was completed in 1997.  Prior to
the completion of the Dominick's, the property was used as a nursery.  The
Company believes that any tax information relating to the nursery would not be
useful to investors.

     The Company received an appraisal prepared by an independent appraiser who
is a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
which reported a fair market value for the River Square property, as of June 16,
1997, of  $8.2 million.  Appraisals are estimates of value and should not be
relied on as a measure of true worth or realizable value.

Potential Property Acquisitions

     Oak Forest Commons, Oak Forest, Illinois .  The Company has entered into a
letter agreement to purchase a Neighborhood Retail Center located at the

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Supplement
No. 3 constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause  the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  These factors
include, among other things, limitations on the area in which the Company may
acquire properties; risks associated with borrowings secured by the Company's
properties; competition for tenants and customers; federal, state or local
regulations; adverse changes in general economic or local conditions;
competition for property acquisitions with third parties that have greater
financial resources than the Company; inability of lessees to meet financial
obligations; uninsured losses; risks of failing to qualify as a REIT; and
potential conflicts of interest between the Company and its affiliates including
the Advisor.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of July 24, 1996, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of
5,000,000 Shares, thereby completing the initial Offering.  On July 24, 1996,
the Company commenced a follow-on Offering of 10,000,000 shares plus an
additional 1,000,000 shares available for distribution through the DRP.  As of
June 30, 1997, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of 9,583,394
Shares of the follow-on Offering, resulting in $144,525,563 in Gross Offering
Proceeds.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company has repurchased 26,613 Shares
through the Share Repurchase Program.

     As of July 10, 1997, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of
10,000,000 Shares thereby completing the follow-on Offering.  On July 14, 1997,
the Company commenced a second follow-on Offering of 20,000,000 Shares plus an
additional 1,000,000 Shares available for distribution through the DRP.  As of
October 6, 1997, the Company has accepted subscriptions for 3,958,105 Shares in
the second follow-on Offering.

     The Company's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo changes
as a result of the completion of the initial public offering of Shares, the
commencement of the second follow-on Offering and the acquisition of properties.
Operating cash flow is expected to increase as these additional properties are
added to the portfolio.  Distributions to Stockholders are determined by the
Company's Board of Directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including
the amount of funds available for distribution, the Company's financial
condition, capital expenditures, and the annual distribution required to
maintain REIT status under the Code.

     Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and short-term investments.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were
$16,912,223 and $8,491,735 respectively.  The increase in cash and cash
equivalents since December 31, 1996 is due to the additional sales proceeds
raised and $32,848,379 in additional loan  proceeds from financing the
properties.  Partially offsetting these increases

                               11


in cash and cash equivalents was the purchase of additional properties since
December 31, 1996 and the payment of Offering costs.  The Company intends to use
cash and cash equivalents to purchase additional properties, to pay
distributions and to pay offering costs.

     As of June 30, 1997, the Company had acquired thirty-three properties.  The
properties owned by the Company are currently generating sufficient cash flow to
cover operating expenses of the Company plus pay a monthly distribution on
weighted average shares.  Commencing with the fourth quarter of 1996, the
Company increased the monthly distributions from 8.0% to 8.3% per annum on
weighted average shares.  Beginning March 1, 1997, the Company increased the
monthly distribution paid to 8.5% per annum on weighted average shares.
Distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $4,625,291, a
portion of which represents a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
The return of capital portion of the distributions cannot be determined at this
time and will be calculated at year end.  Beginning August 1, 1997, the Company
has increased the monthly distribution to 8.7% per annum on weighted average
shares.

     Management of the Company monitors the various qualification tests the
Company must meet to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust.
Large ownership of the Company's stock is tested upon purchase to determine that
no more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned directly, or
indirectly, by five or fewer persons or entities at any time.  Management of the
Company also determines, on a quarterly basis, that the Gross Income, Asset and
Distribution Tests as described in the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company--REIT Qualification
Tests" are met.  On an ongoing basis, as due diligence is performed by
management of both  the Company and the Advisor on potential real estate
purchases or temporary investment of uninvested capital, management of both
entities determines that the income from the new asset will qualify for REIT
purposes.  Beginning with the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company
qualified as a REIT.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately
$3,885,778 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $5,520,586 from $1,634,808
for the same period in 1996.  This increase is due primarily to an increase in
net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the net income
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase in net income is due to
the purchase of additional properties.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had
acquired thirty-three properties, as compared to ten properties as of June 30,
1996.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company utilized $69,320,114
in investing activities for the purchase of twelve properties, as compared to
the $12,519,834 utilized in the six months ended June 30, 1996 for the purchase
of four properties.  In addition, the Company made initial deposits totaling
$24,494,140 for the purchase of two centers to be completed in late 1997.



                               12


Cash Flows From Financing Activities

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated $76,614,494
of cash flows from financing activities as compared to $19,505,082 of cash flows
generated from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
This increase is due primarily to the increase in proceeds raised from the
Offering of $63,191,534 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to
$23,730,034 of Offering proceeds raised for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and loan proceeds, net of principal payment of debt, received in the six months
ended June 30, 1997.  This increase is partially offset by an increase in the
cash used for the payment of Offering costs for the six months ended June 30,
1997.  The increase is also partially offset by an increase in the amount of
distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $4,202,698 as
compared to the distributions paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
$1,049,946.

     The Advisor has guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses
(excluding selling commissions, the marketing contribution and the due diligence
expense allowance fee) in excess of 5.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds of the
Offering (the "Gross Offering Proceeds") or all organization and offering
expenses (including such selling expenses) which together exceed 15% of the
Gross Offering Proceeds.  As of June 30, 1997, organizational and offering costs
did not exceed this limitation.

Results of Operations

     As of June 30, 1997, subscriptions for a total of 14,583,394 Shares were
received from the public resulting in $144,525,563 in Gross Offering Proceeds,
which includes the Advisor's capital contribution of  $200,000 and Shares
purchased through the DRP.

     Funds from operations ("FFO") means net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of real property and
other non-cash items.  FFO and funds available for distribution for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are calculated as follows:

(1)  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not
     necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  FFO should
     not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the
     Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a
     measure of liquidity.

(2)  Reference is made to Note (5) of the Notes to Financial Statements of the
Company.

(3)  As part of the purchase of some of the properties, the Company will receive
     rent under master lease agreements on some of the spaces currently vacant
     for periods ranging from one to two years or until the spaces are leased.
     Generally accepted accounting principles require that as these payments are
     received, they be recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the
     properties rather than as rental income.  Reference is made to Note (5) of
     the Notes to Financial Statements of the Company.

     Total income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was
$11,917,334 and $1,887,655, respectively.  This increase was due to the purchase
of additional properties.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had acquired thirty-
three properties, as compared to ten properties as of June 30, 1996.  The
purchase of additional properties also resulted in increased in property
operating expenses to Affiliates and non-affiliates and depreciation expense.

     The increase in mortgage interest to Affiliates and non-affiliates for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the six months ended June 30,
1996, is due to financing placed on previously acquired centers as well as
mortgages assumed as part of the purchases of Regency Point and Aurora Commons.
The mortgages payable totaled $73,130,071 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to $30,838,233 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The Company
continues to have a mortgage collateralized by the Walgreens, Decatur property
payable to an Affiliate.

                               14


     Interest income is the result of cash and cash equivalents being invested
in short-term investments until a property is purchased.

     The increases in professional services to non-affiliates and general and
administrative expenses to Affiliates and non-affiliates for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the three and six months ended June
30, 1996, is due to the management of an increased number of real estate assets.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                                 June 30, 1997
                                  (unaudited)


Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the Company's audited financial
statements for the fiscal year  ended  December  31, 1996, which are included in
the Company's 1996 Annual  Report,  as  certain footnote disclosures which would
substantially duplicate those  contained  in  such  audited financial statements
have been omitted from this Report.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland Real Estate Corporation (the  "Company")  was  formed  on May 12, 1994 to
invest in neighborhood  retail  centers  located  within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.  The Company may also acquire
single-user retail properties in locations throughout the United States, certain
of which may be  sale  and  leaseback  transactions,  net leased to creditworthy
tenants.   Inland  Real  Estate  Advisory  Services,  Inc.  (the  "Advisor"), an
Affiliate of the Company, is the advisor  to  the Company.  On October 14, 1994,
the Company commenced  an  initial  public  offering,  on  a best efforts basis,
("Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of  common  stock  ("Shares") at a price of $10
per Share and 1,000,000 Shares at a  price  of $9.05 per Share to be distributed
pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment  program (the "DRP").  As of
July 24, 1996, the Company had  received  subscriptions for a total of 5,000,000
Shares, thereby completing the initial Offering.   On July 24, 1996, the Company
commenced an offering of  an  additional  10,000,000  Shares,  on a best efforts
basis,  (the  "Second  Offering")    plus  an  additional  1,000,000  Shares for
distribution through the DRP.   As  of  June  30, 1997, the Company had received
subscriptions for  a  total  of  9,583,394  Shares  from  the  Second  Offering,
resulting in $144,525,563  in  total  gross  offering proceeds, including Shares
purchased through the Distribution Reinvestment  Program.   As of June 30, 1997,
the Company has repurchased 26,613 Shares through the Share Repurchase Program.

The Company qualified  as  a  real  estate  investment  trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code  of  1986,  as  amended,  for  federal income tax purposes
commencing with the  tax  year  ending  December  31,  1995.   Since the Company
qualified for taxation as a REIT,  the  Company generally will not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent  it  distributes its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders.  If the Company fails  to  qualify  as a REIT in any taxable year,
the Company will be  subject  to  federal  income  tax  on its taxable income at
regular corporate tax rates.  Even  if  the  Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to  certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The preparation of financial  statements  in  conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date  of the financial statements and
the reported amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                  (unaudited)


The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less  to  be  cash  equivalents  and  are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. 

Restricted cash at  June  30,  1997  includes  $967,290  held  in escrow for the
principal payments on the Aurora  Commons  mortgage  payable and $88,298 held in
escrow by the mortgagee for the payment  of real estate taxes at Aurora Commons.
Restricted cash at June 30, 1997  also  includes amounts held as vacancy escrows
on Cobblers Crossing,  Mallard  Crossing  and  Park  St. Claire Shopping Center.
Restricted cash at June 30,  1997  and  December  31, 1996 also includes amounts
held in escrow for tenant  improvements,  concessions and leasing commissions at
Antioch Plaza.  Such amounts  will  be  added  to  the  basis of the property as
tenant improvements are completed.  

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 121 requires the Partnership to
record an impairment loss on its property to be held for investment whenever its
carrying value cannot be  fully  recovered through estimated undiscounted future
cash flows from their operations and sale.  The amount of the impairment loss to
be recognized would be the difference  between the property's carrying value and
the property's estimated fair value.   As  of June 30, 1997, the Partnership has
not recognized any such impairments on its properties.

Depreciation expense is computed using  the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are  based  upon  estimated  useful  lives  of  30  years.   Tenant
improvements will be depreciated over the related lease period.

Loan fees are amortized on a  straight  line  basis over the life of the related
loans.

Deferred organization costs are amortized over a 60-month period.

Offering costs are offset against  the  Stockholders' equity accounts.  Offering
costs consist principally of printing, selling and registration costs.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the term of each
lease.  The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and
the cash rent due under the  provisions  of  the lease agreements is recorded as
deferred rent receivable.

(2) Transactions with Affiliates

As of June 30, 1997,  the  Company  had incurred $17,645,988 of organization and
offering costs.  Pursuant to the terms  of the offering, the Advisor is required
to pay organizational and  offering  expenses  (excluding sales commissions, the
marketing contribution and the due diligence expense allowance fee) in excess of
5.5% of the gross proceeds  of  the  Offering (the "Gross Offering Proceeds") or
all organization and  offering  expenses  (including  selling commissions) which
together exceed 15% of gross  offering  proceeds.    As of the completion of the
initial Offering, organizational and  offering  did  not  exceed the 5.5% or 15%
limitations.  As of  June  30,  1997,  organizational  and offering costs of the
Second Offering did  not  exceed  the  5.5%  and  15%  limitations.  The Company
anticipates that these costs will  not  exceed these limitations upon completion
of the offerings, however, any excess amounts will be reimbursed by the Advisor.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating  to the
Offering.  Such  costs  to  Affiliates  incurred  relating  to the offering were
$1,053,167 and $692,248 as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively,
of which $2,906 and $120,269 were  unpaid  as  of June 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.  In addition, an  Affiliate  of the Advisor serves as dealer
manager of the  offering  and  is  entitled  to  receive  selling commissions, a
marketing contribution  and  a  due  diligence  expense  allowance  fee from the
Company in connection with the offering.  Such amounts incurred were $13,311,295
and $7,403,965 as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, of which
$743,088 and $270,365 was unpaid  as  of  June  30,  1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.    As  of  June  30,  1997,  approximately  $11,417,000  of  these
commissions  had  been  passed  through   from  the  Affiliate  to  unaffiliated
soliciting broker/dealers.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled  to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating  to the
administration of the Company.  Such costs are included in professional services
to Affiliates, general and administrative expenses to Affiliates and acquisition
costs expensed of which $2,906 remained unpaid at June 30, 1997.

As of June 30, 1997, the Advisor  has contributed $200,000 to the capital of the
Company for which it received 20,000 Shares.

The Advisor may receive an annual Advisor  Asset Management Fee of not more than
1% of the Average Invested Assets,  paid  quarterly.   For any year in which the
Company qualifies as a REIT, the Advisor must reimburse the Company:  (i) to the
extent that the Advisor Asset Management  Fee plus Other Operating Expenses paid
during the previous calendar year  exceed  2%  of the Company's Average Invested
Assets for the  calendar  year  or  25%  of  the  Company's  Net Income for that
calendar year; and (ii) to  the  extent  that  Stockholders have not received an
annual Distribution equal to or greater than the 8% Current Return.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1997, the  Company  has incurred $523,000 of such fees, of
which $323,000 remains unpaid at June 30, 1997.

An Affiliate of the Advisor is  entitled to receive Property Management Fees for
management and  leasing  services.    The  Company  incurred  and  paid Property
Management Fees of $416,330 and $72,096  for  the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively, all of which has been paid.


(3) Stock Option and Dealer Warrant Plan

The Company adopted an Independent Director Stock Option Plan which granted each
Independent Director an option to  acquire  3,000  Shares as of October 19, 1994
and an additional 500 Shares  on  the  date of each annual stockholders' meeting

(4) Investment Properties (continued)

(A) The initial cost to the Company,  represents the original purchase price of
    the property, including amounts  incurred  subsequent to acquisition, which
    were contemplated at the time the property was acquired.

(B) Adjustments  to  basis  includes  additions  to  investment  properties and
    payments received  under  master  lease  agreements.    As  part of several
    purchases, the Company will receive  rent  under master lease agreements on
    the spaces currently vacant for  periods  ranging  from one to two years or
    until the spaces  are  leased.    Generally  Accepted Accounting Principles
    ("GAAP") require that as these payments are received, they be recorded as a
    reduction in the purchase  price  of  the  properties rather than as rental
    income.  The cumulative amount  of  such payments was $710,568 and $570,694
    as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. (Note 5)


(5) Operating Leases


As part of the purchases of several of the properties, the Company will receive
rent under master  lease  agreements  on  spaces  currently  vacant for periods
ranging from one to two years or  until the spaces are leased and tenants begin
paying rent.  GAAP requires  the  Company  to  reduce the purchase price of the
properties as these payments are  received,  rather than record the payments as
rental income.

Certain tenant leases contain provisions  providing for stepped rent increases.
GAAP requires the Company to record  rental  income for the period of occupancy
using the effective monthly rent,  which  is  the  average monthly rent for the
entire period of occupancy  during  the  term  of  the lease.  The accompanying
financial statements include  increases  of  $207,655  and  $41,051 for the six
months ended June  30,  1997  and  1996,  of  rental  income  for the period of
occupancy for which stepped rent  increases  apply and $339,293 and $131,638 in
related accounts  receivable  as  of  June  30,  1997  and  December  31, 1996,
respectively.  The Company anticipates  collecting these amounts over the terms
of the related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

(A) The  1997  Historical  column   represents   the  historical  statement  of
    operations  of  the  Company  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997
    (unaudited), as filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q.

(B) Total pro forma adjustments for the  six  months ended June 30, 1997 are as
    though the  1997  acquisitions  of  the  following  properties occurred the
    earlier of January 1, 1997 or  the  date operations commenced (May 13, 1997
    for the Glendale Heights Dominicks).    All properties were purchased on an
    all cash basis except for  Maple  Park,  Aurora Commons, Lincoln Park Place
    and Rivertree Court.  Pro  forma  adjustments for interest expense on these
    properties were based on the following terms. 

    Maple Park Shopping Center

    The Company funded the purchase using (i) the proceeds of a short-term loan
    maturing April 7, 1997 in  the  amount  of  $8 million from Inland Mortgage
    Investment Corporation ("IMIC"), an  affiliate  of the Company (the "Short-
    Term Loan"), and (ii) cash and cash equivalents.  The Short-Term Loan bears
    interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum and requires a loan fee of 1/4%.  

    Aurora Commons Shopping Center

    As part of the acquisition  of  Aurora Commons Shopping Center, the Company
    assumed the existing mortgage  loan,  maturing  December 31, 2001, with the
    balance funded with cash and cash  equivalents.  The loan bears interest at
    a rate of 9% per annum  with  monthly payments of principal and interest on
    the first day of each month.

    Lincoln Park Place Shopping Center

    The Company funded the purchase of Lincoln Park Place Shopping Center using
    the proceeds of a short-term loan  maturing  February 7, 1997 in the amount
    of $2,016,110  from  Inland  Mortgage  Investment  Corporation ("IMIC"), an
    affiliate of the Company (the "Short-Term  Loan").  The Company did not pay
    any fees in connection with the  Short-Term Loan, which bears interest at a
    rate of 9% per annum.  

    Rivertree Court

    As part of the  acquisition  of  Rivertree  Court,  the Company assumed the
    existing first mortgage loan, maturing  January  1, 1999, with a balance of
    $15,700,000.  The loan requires interest only monthly payments at a rate of
    10.03% per annum.

                  Notes to Pro Forma Statement of Operations
                     For the year ended December 31, 1996
                                  (unaudited)

(A) The  1996  Historical  column   represents   the  historical  statement  of
    operations of the Company for  the  year  ended December 31, 1996, as filed
    with the SEC on Form 10-K.

(B) Total pro forma adjustments for  the  year  ended  December 31, 1996 are as
    though the  1996  acquisitions  of  the  following  properties  occurred on
    January 1, 1996 on an  all  cash  basis  except for Regency Point, Hawthorn
    Village Commons, Crestwood and Lansing  Square.   Pro forma adjustments for
    interest expense on these properties were based on the following terms.

    Regency Point

    In the purchase of  Regency  Point  the  Company assumed the existing first
    mortgage loan  of  $4,473,200,  along  with  a  related  interest rate swap
    agreement. The first mortgage  loan  has  a  floating  interest rate of 180
    basis points over the 30-day  LIBOR  rate,  which rate is adjusted monthly.
    The interest rate swap agreement,  in  conjunction with the first mortgage,
    provides for Bank One, Chicago, to  receive  from or pay to the Company the
    difference between 6.11%  and  the  30-day  LIBOR  rate,  so that the first
    mortgage loan has an effective  rate  of  7.91%  per  annum.  The pro forma
    adjustment for interest expense for  1996 was estimated using the described
    loan terms.  The  related  interest  rate  swap agreement was terminated on
    April 18, 1996 resulting in $48,419 proceeds to the Company.  The pro forma
    adjustment does not give effect to the termination of this agreement.

    Hawthorn Village Commons

    The Company funded the purchase of  Hawthorn Village Commons using: (i) the
    proceeds of a short-term loan  maturing  August  23,  1996 in the amount of
    $2.9 million  from  Inland  Mortgage  Investment  Corporation  ("IMIC"), an
    Affiliate of the Company (the  "Short-Term  Loan"),  and (ii) cash and cash
    equivalents.  The Company  did  not  pay  any  fees  in connection with the
    Short-Term Loan, which bears interest at a rate of eight percent per annum.

    Crestwood Plaza Shopping Center

    As part of the December 27,  1996  purchase of Crestwood Plaza, the Company
    assumed the existing first mortgage loan of $1,330,253.

    Lansing Square Shopping Center

    The Company funded the purchase  using:  (i) the proceeds of five long-term
    loans  totaling  $12,850,000  from  LaSalle  Bank  of  which  approximately
    $8,000,000 was used  to  purchase  this  property  and  (ii)  cash and cash
    equivalents.  The Company paid  a  one  point  fee in connection with these
    long-term loans. The loans have  a  term  of  seven years and, prior to the
    maturity date, require payments of  interest  only, at 7.6%, fixed for five
    years with the remaining two years at prime plus 1/2%.

    acquired the earlier of January  1,  1996 or date that operations commenced

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  Historical  Summary is free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes  examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in  the  Historical Summary.  An audit
also  includes  assessing  the   accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Summary.  We believe  that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion. 

The accompanying Historical Summary was  prepared  for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations  of  the  Securities and Exchange Commission and
for inclusion in the Registration Statement  on Form S-11 of Inland Real Estate
Corporation, as described in note  2.    It  is  not  intended to be a complete

all material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described

    Rivertree Court leases retail space under various lease agreements with its
    tenants.  All leases are  accounted  for  as  operating leases.  The leases
    include provisions under  which  Rivertree  Court  is reimbursed for common
    area, real  estate,  and  insurance  costs.    Real  estate  tax recoveries
    reflected in the Historical  Summary  include  amounts for 1996 real estate
    tax expense for which the tenants have not yet been billed.  

    Base rentals are reported  as  income  over  the  lease term as they become
    receivable under the lease provisions.    However, when rentals vary from a
    straight-line basis due to  short-term  rent abatements or escalating rents
    during the lease term, the  income  is recognized based on effective rental
    rates.  Related adjustments decreased base rental income by $78,267 for the
    year ended December 31, 1996.

    Minimum rents to be received from  tenants under operating leases in effect

4.  Direct Operating Expenses

    Direct  operating  expenses  include  only   those  costs  expected  to  be
    comparable to the proposed  future  operations  of  Rivertree Court.  Costs
    such as  mortgage  interest,  depreciation,  amortization, and professional
    fees are excluded from the Historical Summary.

    Rivertree Court has not received its  final  real estate tax bill for 1996.
    Real estate tax  expense  is  estimated  based  upon  bills  for 1995.  The
    difference between the estimate and the  final  tax bill is not expected to
    have a material impact on the Historical Summary.

    Rivertree Court is managed by  an  affiliate  of the Seller pursuant to the
    terms of a management agreement for  an  annual  fee of 3% of rental income
    (as defined).  Subsequent  to  the  sale  of  Rivertree Court (note 1), the
    current management agreement will cease.   Any new management agreement may
    cause future management fees to  differ  from  the amounts reflected in the
    Historical Summary.

                                                                      PROSPECTUS
                         INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION

$10.00 PER SHARE                           MINIMUM INITIAL PURCHASE - 300 SHARES
                                            (100 SHARES FOR TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES)

     Inland Real Estate Corporation (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, is
an infinite-life real estate investment trust (a "REIT"), formed in 1994 to
invest in Neighborhood Retail Centers located primarily within a 150-mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois as well as single-user retail
properties located throughout the United States.  The Company owns 33
properties comprised of 28 Neighborhood Retail Centers and five single-user
retail properties.  The Company intends to use the Net Proceeds of this
Offering (after funding appropriate working capital reserves) to acquire
additional properties.  See "Investment Objectives and Policies" and "Real
Property Investments."

     Of the 21,875,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Shares") offered hereby, a total of 20,000,000 Shares are being
offered on a "best efforts" basis (the "Offering"); a total of 1,000,000 Shares
are being offered to Stockholders who are participating in the Company's
Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP"); and up to 875,000 Shares may be
issued upon the exercise of warrants granted to the Dealer Manager.  See
"Description of Securities -- Soliciting Dealer Warrants."  The Company's
day-to-day operations are managed by Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc.
(the "Advisor").  Capitalized terms used in this Prospectus and not defined in
the text are defined in the "Glossary."

     AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.  SEE "RISK
FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 16.  THESE RISKS INCLUDE THE FACT THAT:

- - -   There is currently no public trading market for the Shares and therefore 
      the offering price of the Shares may not be indicative of the price that
      the Shares may trade at if they were listed on an exchange or of the
      proceeds that a Stockholder may receive if the Company was liquidated or
      dissolved.  An investment in the Shares is suitable only for those able
      to make a long-term investment; (page 16)
- - -   The Offering is not conditioned upon the Company raising a minimum amount
      of proceeds.  The Company may not raise proceeds sufficient to apply to
      any use other than payment of organization and offering expenses
      associated with the Offering;  (page 16)
- - -   Although the Company intends to purchase properties, whenever possible, 
      on an all-cash basis, the Company utilized financing to acquire 15 of its
      33 properties;
- - -   The Company may incur additional indebtedness on its existing properties 
      or properties acquired in the future.  Defaults on this indebtedness
      could cause the Company to lose its investment in such properties; (page
      17)
- - -   Except for two properties, the Company has not specified any additional 
      properties in which to invest;  (page 16)
- - -   The Company relies on the Advisor and its Affiliates to operate the
      Company on a daily basis and manage its assets and pays the Advisor and
      its Affiliates substantial fees for rendering these services;  (page 20)
- - -   No person may own more than 9.8% of the Shares;  (page 17)
- - -   Affiliates of the Advisor are engaged in similar real estate activities 
      which subject them to various conflicts of interest in managing the
      Company's operations.  These conflicts include competition for the time
      and services of these individuals which may not be on fair market terms
      and the possibility that the Company may do business with entities that
      have pre-existing relationships with the Advisor or its Affiliates which
      result in a conflict between the ongoing business relationship of the
      Advisor or its Affiliates and the Company's current interests; and  (page
      19)
- - -   Stockholders have no preemptive rights, and, therefore, further 
      issuance(s) of Shares by the Company may dilute the interests of
      investors purchasing in this Offering.  (page 20)

(1)  A total of 20,000,000 Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis.
     The Company will pay Inland Securities Corporation, an Affiliate of the
     Advisor (the "Dealer Manager") selling commissions equal to up to seven
     percent (7%) of the Gross Offering Proceeds and will, in certain
     instances, issue a warrant to purchase one Share during the Exercise
     Period at $12.00 per share for every 40 Shares sold (the "Soliciting
     Dealer Warrants").  The Dealer Manager may retain or reallow all or a part
     of this compensation to certain Soliciting Dealers unless prohibited by
     either federal or state securities laws; provided that the Company will
     not issue more than 875,000 Soliciting Dealer Warrants.  See "Description
     of Securities - Soliciting Dealer Warrants" for additional terms of the
     Soliciting Dealer Warrants.  The Dealer Manager will also receive a
     marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance fee equal to
     2.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, some portion of which may be
     reallowed to Soliciting Dealers.  Volume discounts may be given on orders
     of 25,000 Shares or more.

(2)  Before deducting Organization and Offering Expenses which will be charged
     to the Company, estimated at $4,961,995 if 21,000,000 Shares (the "Maximum
     Offering") are sold.  If the aggregate of all Organization and Offering
     Expenses, including selling commissions and the marketing contribution and
     due diligence expense allowance fee, exceeds 15% of the Gross Offering
     Proceeds, the Advisor will pay the excess expenses.

(3)  A total of 20,000,000 Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis
     and a total of 1,000,000 Shares are being offered to Stockholders who are
     participating in the Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program.
     Participation in the DRP is limited to those investors who purchased
     Shares in the Prior Offerings or who purchase Shares in this Offering.
     Participants may purchase Shares at a reduced price due to lower
     administrative costs ($9.50 per Share).  In addition, assuming all 875,000
     warrants are issued to the Dealer Manager, a total of $700.00 of
     additional proceeds will be raised; assuming these warrants are exercised
     at the warrant price of $12.00, a total of $10,500,000 will be raised.  No
     commission will be paid in connection with the issuance of the warrants or
     the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof.

     The Shares offered hereby will be sold by the Dealer Manager and other
securities dealers (the "Soliciting Dealers") who are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").  The Offering will
terminate on or before July 13, 1999.  Subscription proceeds received from
investors will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, pending release to the
Company.  Since no minimum offering amount has been specified, subscription
proceeds are expected to be released to the Company as subscriptions are
accepted.  All subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within ten days (and
generally within 24 hours) after receipt by the Company.

     THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE
COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OF THIS
PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

     THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK HAS NOT PASSED ON OR
ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
UNLAWFUL.

     THE COMPANY IS NOT A MUTUAL FUND OR AN INVESTMENT COMPANY WITHIN THE
MEANING OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, AND, THEREFORE,
INVESTORS WILL NOT HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE PROTECTIONS PROVIDED BY THE
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED.

     THE USE OF FORECASTS IN THIS OFFERING IS PROHIBITED.  ANY REPRESENTATIONS
TO THE CONTRARY AND ANY PREDICTIONS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, AS TO THE AMOUNT OR
CERTAINTY OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CASH BENEFIT OR TAX CONSEQUENCES WHICH MAY
FLOW FROM AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY IS PROHIBITED.

                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY



     The following summary is intended solely to supply pertinent facts and
highlights from the material contained in the body of the Prospectus.  More
detailed information may be found in the remainder of the Prospectus.

THE COMPANY   The Company owns and operates 28 Neighborhood
              Retail Centers (as hereinafter defined) and five single-user
              retail properties.  The Company intends to acquire additional
              existing Neighborhood Retail Centers which are located primarily
              within an approximate 150-mile radius of its headquarters in Oak
              Brook, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, where the Advisor maintains its
              acquisition and property management headquarters.  The Company may
              also acquire single-user retail properties located throughout the
              United States including single-user retail properties acquired in
              sale and leaseback transactions in which creditworthy tenants
              enter into triple-net leases with the Company.  See "Real Property
              Investments."  As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had
              approximately $10,000,000 available for acquisition of additional
              properties.  See "Real Property Investments."

              The Company's primary business objective is to enhance the
              performance and value of its properties through management
              strategies designed to address the needs of an evolving retail
              marketplace.  Key elements of the Company's strategy are:

              Acquisitions:

              -               Selectively acquiring well-located
                              Neighborhood Retail Centers, as well as
                              single-user retail properties, triple-net leased
                              by creditworthy tenants.

              -               Whenever possible, acquire properties on an
                              all-cash basis to provide the Company with a
                              competitive advantage over potential purchasers
                              who must secure financing.  The Company may,
                              however,  acquire properties subject to existing
                              indebtedness if it is in its best interest.  The
                              Company utilized financing to acquire fifteen of
                              its 33 properties.  The financing for eight of
                              the properties was obtained from an Affiliate and
                              was retired within 90 days of the date of
                              acquisition.  See "Real Property Investments."

              Operations:

              -               Actively manage costs and minimize operating
                              expenses by centralizing all management, leasing,
                              marketing, financing, accounting, renovation and
                              data processing activities.

              -               Improve rental income and cash flow by
                              aggressively marketing rentable space.




                                      1

              -               Emphasize regular maintenance and periodic
                              renovation to meetthe needs of tenants and to 
                              maximize long-term returns.

              -               Maintain a diversified tenant base at its
                              Neighborhood Retail Centers, consisting primarily
                              of retail tenants providing consumer goods and
                              services.

              -               Subsequent to the acquisition of the
                              properties, incur mortgage indebtedness, when
                              favorable financing terms are available, to allow
                              the Company to acquire additional properties and
                              increase the Company's cash flow.

              The Company is a Maryland corporation which has elected to be
              treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal
              income tax purposes.  See, generally "Federal Income Tax
              Considerations."  The Company is located at 2901 Butterfield Road,
              Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 (630) 218-8000.

BEFORE 
OFFERING      A total of 15,351,687.72 Shares (including 351,687.72 Shares
              issued under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Program (the
              "DRP") and 20,000 Shares purchased by the Advisor) were
              outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.  The Company
              previously sold 5,000,000 Shares in a "best efforts" offering that
              commenced on October 14, 1994 and was completed on July 22, 1996,
              at a price of $10 per Share, and an additional 10.0 million Shares
              in a best efforts offering that commenced on July 24, 1996 and was
              completed on July 10, 1997, also at $10 per Share (collectively
              the "Prior Offerings"). 

SHARES OUTSTANDING 
POST  
OFFERING      After giving effect to the Offering and assuming the sale of all
              Shares offered on a "best efforts" basis (20,000,000), the Company
              will have 35,351,687.72 Shares outstanding (not taking into
              account issuance of Shares under the Company's DRP or Shares
              issuable upon exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants or upon
              exercise of options granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan)
              based on the number of Shares outstanding as of the date  of this
              Prospectus.                                 

TERMS OF THE 
OFFERING      The Company is offering 21,875,000 shares of common stock, $.01
              par value per share (the "Shares"), of which 20,000,000 Shares are
              being offered on a "best efforts" basis; 1,000,000 Shares which
              may be issued to Stockholders who are participating in the
              Company's DRP; and up to up to 875,000 Shares underlying 875,000
              warrants (also offered hereby) which may be issued upon the
              exercise of the warrants granted to the Dealer Manager.  A "best
              efforts" offering is one in which the securities dealers
              participating in the Offering are under no obligation to purchase
              any of the Shares being offered and, therefore, no specified
              amount is guaranteed to be raised.  Subscribers for Shares must
              initially purchase a minimum of 300 Shares ($3,000), except that,
              a minimum of 100 Shares ($1,000) may be purchased by Tax-Exempt
              Entities (as defined herein). Minimum 


                                      2


              investment standards for Tax-Exempt Entities may be higher in
              certain states.  See "Who May Invest."  The Offering is being made
              by Inland Securities Corporation (the "Dealer Manager") and other
              securities dealers (the "Soliciting Dealers") who are members of
              the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the 
              "NASD"). The Offering will terminate no later than July 13, 1999
              (the "Termination Date").

              Subscribers' funds will be forwarded to LaSalle National Bank,
              N.A., as escrow agent.  Subscription proceeds are expected to be
              released to the Company as subscriptions are accepted.  All
              subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within ten days (and
              generally within 24 hours) after receipt by the Company.  See
              "Plan of Distribution--General" and "--Escrow Conditions."

RISK FACTORS  Investment in the Shares involves risks which are described in
              detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the Prospectus, which 
              begins on page 16.  The following is a summary of the risks which
              the Company believes are most relevant to an investment in the 
              Shares.

              Investment Risks:

              -      There is currently no public trading market for the
                     Shares and,  therefore, the Shares constitute an illiquid
                     investment.  In addition, the offering price of the Shares
                     may not be indicative of the price that the Shares may
                     trade at if they were listed on an exchange or of the
                     proceeds that a Stockholder may receive if the Company was
                     liquidated or dissolved.

              -      As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had
                     approximately $10,000,000 available for additional
                     acquisitions, and, except for two properties, has not
                     specified any additional properties for acquisition.

              -      The Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur
                     property were acquired by the Company from Inland Property
                     Sales, Inc., an Affiliate. Acquisitions from Affiliates may
                     be on terms less favorable to the Company than arm's-length
                     transactions and may result in concessions as to price or
                     otherwise which may be less advantageous to the Company
                     than an arm's-length transaction.  The Company competes for
                     the acquisition of properties  with many other entities
                     engaged in real estate investment activities, some of which
                     have greater resources than the Company, which may result
                     in the Company being unable to acquire properties which it
                     desires and have an adverse impact on the Company's
                     business. 

              -      Acquisition of Neighborhood Retail Centers (but not
                     single-user retail properties) is primarily limited to the
                     approximate 150-mile
                              

                                      3


              -      radius surrounding the Advisor's headquarters in Oak
                     Brook, Illinois.  Adverse economic conditions affecting
                     that area could adversely affect the Company's ability to
                     acquire, lease and dispose of such properties and, hence,
                     the Company's results of operations and financial
                     condition, including the Company's ability to pay
                     dividends.

              -      Defaults on any secured indebtedness may result in
                     foreclosure on the Company's assets which would result in
                     the Company losing its investment in the properties
                     securing the loan.

              -      To satisfy certain requirements for qualification as a
                     REIT for federal income tax purposes, no person may own, or
                     be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of
                     the Code (as defined herein), more than 9.8% of the 
                     Shares. These limitations may discourage, impede or prevent
                     a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even if such an
                     event would be favorable to the interests of stockholder.

              -      Although the Company has a working capital reserve of
                     approximately $1.5 million (equal to 1% of the gross
                     offering proceeds from the Company's Prior Offerings) and
                     intends to supplement its working capital with an
                     additional 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds from this
                     Offering, these amounts may be insufficient to meet the
                     cash needs of the Company and the Company may have to
                     obtain financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated
                     sources.  Additional financing would increase the Company's
                     indebtedness and the risks associated therewith.

              -      Under certain circumstances, the Company may borrow
                     funds to maintain operations of one or more of its
                     properties or enable it to maintain its REIT status, thus
                     increasing the Company's indebtedness.

              Company Risks:

              -      Conflicts of interest between the Company and its
                     Affiliates, such as competition for the time and services
                     of the Advisor and its Affiliates, receipt by the Advisor
                     and its Affiliates of compensation from the Company for
                     their various services which may not be on market  terms
                     and the possibility that the Company may do business with
                     entities that have pre-existing relationships with the
                     Advisor or its Affiliates which may result in a conflict
                     between the ongoing business relationship of the Advisor or
                     its Affiliates and the Company's business.

              -      The Company's ability to achieve its goals will depend,
                     to a large extent, on the quality of management provided by
                     the Advisor and 


                                      4


              -      its Affiliates.  Since January 1, 1987, Affiliates of 
                     the Advisor have sponsored twenty-three programs. Certain
                     of these programs have experienced setbacks, such as
                     commercial tenant defaults or move-outs, unfavorable
                     changes in the tax laws and higher than expected vacancies
                     as apartment markets weakened.  These negative events,
                     which vary by program, have had the effect of reducing the
                     benefits which investors in those programs have received. 
                     See "Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates" and
                     "Prior Performance Tables."

              -      The Advisor and its Affiliates are paid substantial fees
                     and payments for services rendered to the Company whether
                     or not Stockholders receive Distributions.
        
              -      The Directors may authorize the issuance of shares or
                     other securities in addition to Shares issued pursuant to
                     this Offering, thereby diluting the interest of existing
                     Stockholders, including investors in this Offering, none of
                     whom have preemptive rights.

              -      In most cases, matters requiring stockholder approval
                     may be approved by a vote of only a majority of the
                     Stockholders.  Therefore, all Stockholders, including those
                     not voting with the majority, will be bound by the vote of
                     the Stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding
                     Shares.

              Risks of Real Estate Ownership:
                     
              -      All equity real estate investments are subject to some
                     degree of general economic risks, including lease defaults,
                     which could adversely affect the Company's results of
                     operations and financial condition, including the Company's
                     ability to make Distributions.  This risk is borne by
                     Stockholders in proportion to the number of Shares owned by
                     each Stockholder.

              -      Adverse trends for the property types to be acquired by
                     the Company or adverse economic developments in general or
                     within the Chicago metropolitan area in particular could
                     have an adverse effect on the Company's results of
                     operations and financial condition, including the Company's
                     ability to make Distributions.

              -      Violation of environmental and other governmental
                     regulations could result in substantial expenditures by, or
                     damages to, the Company and adversely affect the Company's
                     results of operations and financial condition, including
                     the Company's ability to make Distributions.

              -      Unanticipated renovation or remodeling costs incurred to
                     re-lease the Company's properties could adversely affect
                     the Company's 



                                      5


              -      results of operations and financial condition, including
                     the Company's ability to make Distributions. 


              Tax Risks:

              -      The Company's ability to qualify as a REIT involves the
                     application of technical and highly complex provisions of
                     the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
                     to various factual matters and circumstances which are
                     often not within the Company's control.  The Company's
                     qualification as a REIT depends upon its ability to meet,
                     through actual operations, various tests imposed by the
                     Code, and there can be no assurance that the Company will
                     be able to satisfy these requirements.  In addition, the
                     actions and transactions the Company will undertake to
                     maintain its REIT status may not produce the highest
                     economic profit.  For example, due to certain of the Code
                     provisions applicable to REITS, the Company does not intend
                     to hold property as Inventory Property even though holding
                     as Inventory Property may produce higher selling prices.

              -      If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, its
                     Distributions would not be deductible, which would increase
                     its tax liability and substantially reducing the funds
                     available for distribution to Stockholders.  The Company
                     could be forced to borrow to pay these tax liabilities,
                     liquidate certain investments or take other steps which
                     could adversely affect the Company's results of operations
                     and financial conditions, including its ability to pay
                     Distributions.

              -      Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. ("Counsel") has rendered its
                     opinion that as of June 24, 1997, and, based on certain
                     representations of the Company as described throughout the
                     Prospectus regarding the Company's operations, the Company
                     has been organized in conformity with the requirements for
                     qualification as a REIT beginning with its taxable year

                     anticipated methods of operation has enabled and will
                     enable the Company to satisfy the REIT Requirements, and
                     that distributions to certain qualified organizations will
                     not produce unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") so
                     long as the Company is not a "Pension-Held REIT." See
                     "Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "ERISA
                     Considerations."  The Company's ability to maintain its
                     REIT status will depend upon its ability (based on its
                     actual operating results) to meet the REIT Requirements. 
                     Counsel will not review compliance with the REIT

                     Service (the "Service") and could be subject to
                     modification or withdrawal based on future legislative,
                     judicial or administrative changes to the federal income
                     tax laws (or the interpretation thereof) which could be
                     applied retroactively.

              ERISA Risks:

              -      In deciding whether to purchase Shares, each fiduciary
                     of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, in
                     consultation with its advisors, should carefully consider
                     its fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, the prohibited
                     transaction rules of ERISA and the Code, the UBTI
                     consequences and the effect of the "plan asset" regulations
                     issued by the Department of Labor.  See "ERISA
                     Considerations."

              Failure by the Company to effectively manage the impact
              of these risks may impair the Company's ability to meet its
              investment objectives and, therefore, the benefits to the
              Stockholders from their investment in the Company may be
              reduced or entirely eliminated.  See "Risk Factors" and
              "Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates."


INVESTMENT 
OBJECTIVES    
AND POLICIES  The Company's investment objectives are to:


              -      Provide regular Distributions to Stockholders; the
                     amount of these Distributions may exceed the Company's
                     taxable income, particularly in the early years of the
                     Company's operations, due to the "non-cash" nature of
                     depreciation expense and, to such extent, will constitute a
                     return of capital.  In order for the Company to maintain
                     its REIT status, the Company must make Distributions equal
                     to not less than 95% of the its REIT taxable income.  To
                     the extent Distributions to Stockholders exceed taxable
                     income, these Distributions would constitute a return of
                     capital and would be sheltered from current taxation for
                     Stockholders. This return of capital, however, will reduce
                     a Stockholder's tax basis in his Shares, which will result
                     in more taxable gain or less taxable loss upon sale or
                     exchange of Shares than would have occurred absent a return
                     of capital. Depreciation deductions, however, will decrease
                     the Company's tax basis in its properties, thereby
                     increasing the Company's taxable income when the properties
                     are sold, thereby increasing the amount of Distributions
                     needed to maintain compliance with the REIT Requirements
                     upon sale of a property.  As long as the Company qualifies
                     as a REIT, it generally will not be taxed to the extent of
                     the Distributions it pays to Stockholders;

              -      Hedge against inflation by entering into leases which
                     provide for scheduled rent escalations or participation in
                     the growth of tenant 


                                      7


                     sales designed to provide increased Distributions and
                     capital appreciation; and

              -      Preserve Stockholders' capital by acquiring well-located
                     Neighborhood Retail Centers and single-user retail
                     properties on an all-cash basis, whenever possible.  The
                     Company will, in certain instances, utilize borrowing to
                     acquire properties.  The Company has utilized financing in
                     connection with acquisition of fifteen of its 33
                     properties.  See "Real Property Investments."

              There can be no assurance the Company will achieve these 
              objectives.
                        
              To the extent possible, the Company seeks to avoid fluctuations in
              Distributions which might result if Distributions were based on
              actual cash received during the Distribution period.  To do this,
              the Company may use income earned during prior periods, or income
              earned subsequent to the Distribution declaration date but prior
              to the payment date, in order to distribute annualized
              Distributions consistent with the Distribution level established
              from time to time by the Board. The Company's ability to utilize
              this policy is dependent upon the availability of Cash Flow and
              the applicable REIT rules.  The Company seeks, subject to the
              applicable REIT rules (including the Distribution requirements),
              to reinvest that portion of the proceeds from the sale, financing,
              refinancing or other disposition of its properties that represents
              the initial investment into additional properties.  Since
              inception through September 1995, the Company paid Distributions
              to its Stockholders on a quarterly basis. Commencing in October,
              1995, the Company began, and has continued, to pay Distributions
              to the Stockholders on a monthly basis, with daily record and
              Distribution declaration dates.  However, the Company reserves a
              right, at any time, to revert to paying Distributions on a
              quarterly basis.  The properties owned by the Company are
              currently generating sufficient cash flow to cover operating
              expenses of the Company plus pay a monthly Distribution of 8.5%
              per annum on weighted average shares.

              The Company intends, whenever possible, to acquire properties
              free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the
              entire purchase price of each property in cash or for shares of
              the Company's stock.  The Company has, however, utilized financing
              to acquire fifteen of its 33 properties and may do so in the
              future where the Board deems it to be in the Company's best
              interest.  In addition, the Company has also pledged properties
              purchased on an all-cash basis to secure indebtedness incurred
              post-acquisition and anticipates doing so in the future.  The
              proceeds from these loans have been, and will be, used primarily
              to acquire additional properties.  The Company may also incur
              indebtedness to finance improvements to the acquired properties. 
              The Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings secured by the
              Company's properties will not exceed 50% of their combined fair
              market value.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount
              of borrowings may not exceed 300% of Net Assets 


                                      8

              without approval of a majority of the Stockholders.  The Company
              does not anticipate incurring indebtedness to fund Distributions
              payable to Stockholders, unless necessary to maintain its status
              as a REIT.  See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Borrowing"
              and "Summary of the Organizational Documents--Restrictions
              on Borrowing."

              Affiliates of the Advisor have extensive experience in acquiring
              and managing properties similar to those which have been acquired,
              or which the Company anticipates acquiring.  There is no assurance
              that the Company will achieve its investment objectives. Although
              the Company owns 28 Neighborhood Retail Centers and five
              single-user properties, except for two properties, it has not
              specified any other properties to be acquired.  Due to competition
              for suitable properties, the Company may not be able to acquire
              other properties meeting its investment criteria.  See "Risk
              Factors--Investment Risks-- Partially Specified Fund," "Risk
              Factors--Risks of Real Estate Ownership--Competition with Others
              for the Acquisition of Properties," "Prior Performance of the
              Company's Affiliates"  and "Real Property Investments."

              Proceeds of the Offering will be used to acquire properties and
              to pay expenses of the Offering and Acquisition Expenses, with the
              balance (but not less than 1% of Gross Offering Proceeds) being
              applied to working capital reserves.  See "Estimated Use of
              Proceeds of the Offering."


THE ADVISOR   Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., a wholly-owned
              subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, a
              Delaware corporation ("IREIC"), serves as Advisor to the Company. 
              The Advisor is an Illinois corporation with its principal place of
              business located at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 
              60523 (630) 218-8000.  As of June 30, 1996, IREIC had an audited
              net worth of approximately $93 million, much of which is illiquid.
              Limited partnerships for which IREIC is responsible own in excess
              of 11.9 million square feet of commercial property. As of April
              30, 1997, IREIC had an unaudited net worth of approximately $95
              million and owned in excess of 11.9 million square feet of
              commercial property. See "Management." 

COMPENSATION 
TO BE PAID TO
THE ADVISOR
AND ITS 
AFFILIATES    The Advisor and its Affiliates will be paid substantial amounts
              for managing the Company's business.  The most significant items
              of compensation are: 

              
              Offering Stage:  Selling commissions to the Dealer Manager up to
              7% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, which may be retained or
              reallowed to Soliciting Dealers; and a marketing contribution and
              due diligence expense allowance fee to the Dealer Manager equal to
              2.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds (the "Marketing Contribution
              and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee"), some of which may be
              retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers.  As of March 31,
              1997, the Company had paid selling commissions and Marketing
              Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fees totaling
                        



                                      9


              $9,830,285 in connection with the Prior Offerings.  A total of
              $525,886 was unpaid at March 31, 1997. Approximately $8,436,000 of
              this amount was reallowed to Soliciting Dealers as of March 31,
              1997.  In certain cases, Soliciting Dealers will receive one
              Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each 40 Shares sold by such
              Soliciting Dealer during the Offering.  Each Soliciting Dealer
              Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Share from the
              Company at a price of $12 during the Exercise Period.  See
              "Compensation Table" and "Description of Securities--Soliciting
              Dealer Warrants."

              Acquisition Stage:  Reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket
              acquisition expenses are anticipated to be equal to 0.5% of Gross
              Offering Proceeds.  See "Compensation Table."

              Operational Stage:  An annual Advisor Asset Management Fee of
              not more than 1% of the Average Invested Assets is paid 
              quarterly. An Affiliate of the Advisor also receives a Property
              Management Fee equal to not more than 4.5% of the gross revenues
              of each of the Company's properties 90% of the fee typically
              charged by a third party), paid monthly.  Payment of this fee is
              subordinated to the payment of Distributions in an amount equal to
              a non-compounded return equal to 8% per annum on Invested Capital
              (the "Current Return").  For the three months ended March 31,
              1997, the Company incurred Advisor Asset Management Fees of
              $233,337 all of which remains unpaid.  The Company incurred and
              paid Property Management Fees of $172,537 for the three months
              ended March 31, 1997.  See "Compensation Table" and "Management's
              Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
              Operations of the Company."

              Liquidation Stage:  A Property Disposition Fee equal to the
              lesser of:  (i) 3% of the sale price of a property; or (ii) 50% of
              the commission customarily paid to third parties; and after
              receipt by the Stockholders of a cumulative, non-compounded 8% per
              annum return of Invested Capital (the "Cumulative Return") and a
              return of their Invested Capital, an Incentive Advisory Fee equal
              to 15% of the net proceeds from the sale of a property.  In the
              event the Company's Shares are listed on a  national stock
              exchange or included for quotation on a national market system and
              the Advisor is merged into the Company, the Advisor will receive
              Shares and the Company will no longer be obligated to pay fees to
              the Advisor.  See "Compensation Table."

              The Advisor and its Affiliates may receive a number of other
              incidental fees for services or expense reimbursement during the
              operational and liquidation stages of the Company.  See,
              generally, "Compensation Table" and "Management--Other Services."


REAL PROPERTY
INVESTMENTS   The Company owns 28 Neighborhood Retail Centers and five
              single-user retail properties.  The Company utilized
              $107,000,000 raised in the Prior Offerings to acquire these
              properties.  Twenty-five of the properties are encumbered by
              outstanding indebtedness of approximately $72,000,000, as 



                                      10

               of the date of this Prospectus.  The Company has approximately
               $10,000,000 available for investment in additional properties.
               The Company has specified two additional properties for
               investment.  See "Real Property Investments--Potential Property
               Acquisitions."


               The terms of each of the Company's acquisitions have been
               approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of
               the Independent Directors) as being fair and reasonable to the
               Company.  The acquisition prices of the properties did not
               exceed the appraised values of the properties at the time of
               acquisition.  Two of the properties were acquired from an
               Affiliate.  There can be no assurance that the prices paid to
               the Affiliate for these properties did not exceed that which
               would be paid by an unaffiliated buyer.  See "Risk
               Factors--Company Risks--Prices Paid for Properties Acquired from
               Affiliates may be More than Prices Paid by Non-Affiliates" and
               "Real Property Investments."


              The Company may invest in general partnerships or joint venture
              arrangements with Affiliates as co-owners of a property.  With
              respect to investments made with Affiliates, the Company will be
              able to increase its equity participation in such entity as
              additional proceeds of the Offering are received by the Company
              with the result that the Company can ultimately own 100% of the
              property, provided however that the affiliated general or joint
              venture partner will not be entitled to any profit or other
              benefit on such sale of its equity participation to the Company. 
              See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint Ventures."


PRIOR OFFERINGS
SUMMARY       The Inland organization, during the past ten years, has
              sponsored seven public and sixteen private real estate
              programs which have raised in excess of $206,000,000 from over
              17,000 investors.


              Two of the Inland-sponsored public programs and a majority of
              the private programs have investment objectives similar to the
              Company's.  Certain programs sponsored or managed by Affiliates of
              the Advisor have experienced setbacks during the course of
              business, including commercial tenant defaults or move-outs,
              unfavorable changes in the tax laws and higher than expected
              vacancies as apartment markets weakened. These negative events,
              which vary by program, have had the effect of reducing the
              benefits which investors in those programs have received from
              those originally contemplated.  See "Prior Performance of the
              Company's Affiliates" and "Prior Performance Tables."


ARTICLES OF
AMENDMENT AND
RESTATEMENT   Investors should be particularly aware of the following
              provisions contained in the Company's Second Articles of
              Amendment and Restatement, as amended (the "Articles"):


              -   Limitation on accumulation of shares:  In order for the 
                  Company to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the 
                  outstanding Shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by 
                  five or fewer individuals  
        

                                      11


                     at any time during the last half of the Company's
                     taxable year.  To ensure that the Company will not fail to
                     qualify as a REIT under this test, the Articles contain
                     restrictions on the number of Shares that may be owned by a
                     single Stockholder.  These restrictions may:  (i)
                     discourage a change of control of the Company; (ii) deter
                     individuals and entities from making tender offers for
                     Shares, which offers may be attractive to  Stockholders; or
                     (iii) limit the opportunity for Stockholders to receive a
                     premium for their Shares in the event an investor is making
                     purchases of Shares in order to acquire a block of Shares. 
                     See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."

              -      Voting rights:  Each Share is entitled to one vote and
                     the Articles do not provide for cumulative voting. 
                     Stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding Shares
                     have the right to:  (i) amend the Articles subject to
                     certain limitations; (ii) dissolve the Company; (iii) elect
                     or remove the Board of Directors; and (iv) approve or
                     disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of the
                     assets of the Company other than in connection with a
                     dissolution of the Company.  All Stockholders are bound by
                     the vote of Stockholders owning a majority of the
                     outstanding Shares, even if a Stockholder does not vote
                     with the majority.  Stockholders owning in the aggregate at
                     least 10% of the outstanding Shares may request the
                     Directors to call a meeting for the purpose of voting on
                     any of the foregoing.

              -      Stockholders owning at least two-thirds of the
                     outstanding Shares must approve certain exchange offers,
                     mergers, consolidations or similar transactions commonly
                     known as "Roll-Ups," which affect certain Stockholder
                     rights.  These super-majority provisions may have the
                     effect of:  (i) discouraging a change in control of the
                     Company; (ii) deterring individuals and entities from
                     making tender offers for Shares, which offers may be
                     attractive to Stockholders; and (iii) limiting the
                     opportunity for Stockholders to receive a premium for their
                     Shares in the event an investor is making purchases of
                     Shares in order to acquire a block of Shares.

              -      Changes in investment objectives and policies:  The
                     Company's investment objectives or policies may only be
                     changed by amending the Articles, which requires the
                     affirmative vote of Stockholders holding a majority of the
                     outstanding Shares.

              -      Distributions:  Distributions are payable out of funds
                     legally available to pay distributions.

              See "Summary of the Organizational Documents" and "Description
              of Securities."

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT
AND SHARE REPURCHASE
PROGRAMS      
              The Company provides the following programs to
              facilitate investment in the Shares and to provide
              limited liquidity for Stockholders:


              -      The Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP") allows
                     Stockholders who have purchased Shares in the Prior
                     Offerings or who purchase Shares in this Offering to
                     automatically reinvest Distributions by purchasing
                     additional Shares from the Company, subject to the
                     limitations on Share ownership contained in the Articles. 
                     These purchases may be made at $9.50 per share, a reduction
                     from the Offering Price reflecting lower costs associated
                     with these issuances.  See "Distribution Reinvestment and
                     Share Repurchase Programs -- Distribution Reinvestment
                     Program."
              
              -      The Share Repurchase Program allows, subject to certain
                     restrictions, existing Stockholders to sell Shares 
                     back to the Company at a price equal to $9.05 per Share (a
                     reduction of $.95 from the $10 Offering price, reflecting
                     selling commissions and the Marketing Contribution and Due
                     Diligence Expense Allowance Fee).  The Company repurchases
                     Shares on a first come, first served basis, subject to the
                     following limits: (i) not more than $500,000 worth of the
                     outstanding Shares may be repurchased in any given year;
                     and (ii) the funds utilized to repurchase are limited to
                     available proceeds received by the Company from the sale of
                     Shares under the Distribution Reinvestment Program. Shares
                     purchased by the Company are not available for resale.  The
                     Company may terminate the Share Repurchase Program if a
                     secondary market for the Company's Shares develops or if
                     the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or
                     included for quotation on a national market system.  See
                     "Distribution Reinvestment and Share Repurchase Programs --
                     Share Repurchase Program."


WHO MAY 
INVEST        The section of the Prospectus titled "Who May Invest"
              describes minimum net worth, income and other suitability
              requirements which investors must satisfy prior to
              subscribing for Shares.  In particular, investors must have
              either:  (i) a minimum annual gross income of $45,000 and a
              net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and
              automobiles) of $45,000; or (ii) a net worth (determined
              with the foregoing exclusions) of $150,000.  Suitability
              standards may be higher for investors residing certain
              states.  See "Who May Invest."

ANNUAL 
VALUATIONS    Stockholders that are subject to ERISA will be provided with
              an annual statement of value reporting the value of each
              Share based upon an estimated amount they would receive if
              Company's assets were sold as of the close of the
              Company's fiscal year and if such proceeds (without
              reduction for selling expenses) and all the other funds of
              the Company were distributed in liquidation of the Company;
              provided, however, the Net Asset Value of each Share will be
              deemed to be $10 per Share through the fiscal year ended
              December 31, 1997.  There can be no assurance that:  (i)
              Stock-


                                      13


              holders will actually receive $10 per Share upon liquidation (in
              part because estimates of value do not necessarily indicate the
              price at which assets could be sold, and because no attempt will
              be made to estimate the expenses of selling any asset of the
              Company); (ii) Stockholders would receive $10 per Share on sale of
              their Shares; or (iii) this valuation would comply with the ERISA
              requirements.  The Company will cease providing these annual
              statements of value if the Shares become listed on a national
              stock exchange or included for quotation on a national market
              system.  See "ERISA Considerations."

                                 RISK FACTORS


     Purchase of the Shares offered hereby involves various risk factors in
addition to the factors set forth elsewhere herein.  Prospective purchasers
should consider, among others, the following factors:

  1. INVESTMENT RISKS

     Share Price/Limited Liquidity.  The offering price of the Shares was
determined by the Board in the exercise of its business judgment but may not be
indicative of the price that the Shares may trade if they were listed on an
exchange or of the proceeds that a Stockholder may receive if the Company was
liquidated or dissolved.  Further, there is currently no public trading market
for the Shares and no assurance exists that one will develop.  An investor may
not be able to liquidate his or her investment on favorable terms, if at all.
See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Additional Offerings and Exchange
Listing."  Subject to available funds and the Company's continued qualification
as a REIT, the Company may repurchase Shares from Stockholders.  See
"Distribution Reinvestment and Share Repurchase Programs--Share Repurchase
Program."

     No Minimum Offering.  The Offering is not conditioned upon the Company
raising a minimum amount of proceeds and the release of subscription proceeds
from the escrow is not conditioned upon the Company's selling a minimum number
of Shares. As a result, the Company may not raise proceeds sufficient to apply
to any use other than payment of the organization and offering expenses
associated with the Offering.

     Partially Specified Fund.  The Company owns 28 Neighborhood Retail Centers
and five single-user retail properties.  Two of the properties, the Eagle Crest
Shopping Center in Naperville, Illinois, and a Walgreens property in Decatur,
Illinois were purchased from Inland Property Sales, Inc. ("IPS") an Affiliate.
These properties were acquired with the unanimous approval of the Directors
(including all of the then Independent Directors).  Although this Prospectus
describes the parameters the Company will use to acquire additional properties,
as of the date of this Prospectus, only two additional properties have been
specified for acquisition by the Company.  Accordingly, no information is
available as to the identification, location, operating histories, lease terms
or other relevant economic and financial data of the other properties to be
purchased by the Company with the funds available for investment ($10,000,000)
or with the Net Proceeds of this Offering (after funding of appropriate working
capital reserves).  There may be a delay between the sale of the Shares and the
Company's purchase of other properties, which could result in a delay in the
benefits to investors, if any, of an investment in the Company.

     The Advisor evaluates potential additional property acquisitions and
engages in discussions with sellers on behalf of the Company.  During the
pendency of the Offering, as soon as the Advisor believes a reasonable
probability exists that a property will be acquired on specified terms upon
completion of due diligence, which includes review of the title insurance
commitment, appraisal and environmental analysis, the Company will issue a
supplement to this Prospectus setting forth certain details concerning the
proposed acquisition.  Investors should be aware, however, that acquisitions at
this stage require negotiation of final binding agreements and there can be no
assurance that a property will be acquired on the same terms as described in
the relevant supplement or other disclosure document prepared with respect
thereto.  In addition, properties which are identified for acquisition by the
Company prior to the termination of the Offering may not be acquired unless
sufficient Shares are sold.  In the event any properties which are disclosed to
Stockholders as potential acquisitions are not acquired, or any properties
which the Company acquires prior to the termination of the Offering but are not
retained, subsequently acquired properties may be materially 





                                      16


different in a number of respects.  In addition, investors should be aware that
audited financial statements of prior operations of existing properties acquired
by the Company, or of the lessees or of the property or guarantor of the
underlying leases, generally will not be available until after a supplement to
this Prospectus describing the acquisition has been provided to potential
investors, and financial statements for recently constructed properties may not
be available at all. 

     Limitation on Area in which the Company May Acquire Neighborhood Retail
Centers.  Acquisition of Neighborhood Retail Centers (but not single-user
retail properties) is limited primarily to the approximate 150-mile radius
surrounding the Advisor's headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.  Adverse
economic conditions affecting that area could adversely affect the Company's
ability to acquire, lease and dispose of such properties.

     Insufficient Reserves.  The Company has established a working capital
reserve of $1.5 million (equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds from the
Prior Offerings) and will supplement this reserve with an additional 1% of the
Gross Offering Proceeds from this Offering.  However, if these reserves prove
insufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, the Company may have to obtain
financing from either affiliated or unaffiliated sources to fund these cash
requirements.  There is no assurance that this financing will be available  or
if available, will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

     Mortgage Indebtedness and Other Borrowings May Increase the Company's
Business Risks.  The Company intends to acquire properties free and clear of
permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price of each
property in cash or shares of the Company's stock.  However, if it is
determined to be in the best interests of the Company, the Company has and will
continue, in certain instances, to utilize borrowing to acquire properties and
incur or increase mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by selected
properties.  The proceeds from these loans have been and will be used to
acquire additional properties.  The Company may incur indebtedness if necessary
to satisfy the requirement that the Company distribute at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income (as defined in the Code), or otherwise as is necessary or
advisable to assure that the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes.  The Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings
secured by all of the Company's properties will not exceed 50% of their
combined fair market values; provided that in the absence of the consent of a
majority of the Stockholders, indebtedness may not exceed 300% of Net Assets.

     Incurring mortgage indebtedness increases the risk of loss since defaults
on indebtedness secured by the Company's properties may result in foreclosure
actions initiated by the lenders and loss by the Company of the property
securing the loan which is in default.  Any such foreclosure would be treated
as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance
of the debt secured by the mortgage.  If the outstanding balance of the debt
secured by the mortgage exceeds the Company's basis in the property, the
Company would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive
any cash proceeds. The Company seeks to limit its indebtedness to
"non-recourse" indebtedness meaning that the lender may look only to the
property or properties securing the mortgage indebtedness for satisfaction of
the indebtedness.  See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Borrowing" and
"Real Property Investments."

     Further, incurrence of indebtedness may decrease the amount of cash
available for distributions since the Company must pay debt service on the
indebtedness.

     Limits on Share Accumulation May Have an Anti-Takeover Effect.  In order
for the Company to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the outstanding
Shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at
any time during the last half of each taxable year.  To ensure that the Company




                                      17


will not fail to qualify as a REIT under this test, the Articles provide that
no person may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions
of the Code, more than 9.8% of the number or value of the issued and outstanding
stock of the Company.  These restrictions may:  (i) discourage a change of
control of the Company; (ii) deter individuals and entities from making tender
offers for Shares, which offers may be attractive to Stockholders; or (iii)
limit the opportunity for Stockholders to receive a premium for their Shares in
the event an investor is making purchases of Shares in order to acquire a block
of Shares.  See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."

     Objectives of Joint Venture Partners May Conflict with the Company's
Objectives. The Company may, from time to time, make property investments in
joint ventures between the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor.  Investments
in joint ventures which own properties may involve risks not otherwise present
when the Company purchases the property directly.  For example, the Company's
co-venturer may file for bankruptcy protection, may have economic or business
interests or goals which are inconsistent with the interests or goals of the
Company or take actions contrary to the Company's instructions, requests,
policies or objectives.  Among other things, actions by such co-venturer might
subject property owned by the joint venture to liabilities in excess of those
contemplated by the terms of the joint venture or other adverse consequences.
See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint Ventures."

     Seller Financing by Company May Delay Liquidation or Reinvestment.  The
Company intends to use its best efforts to sell its properties for cash.
However, the Company may sell its properties either subject to or upon the
assumption of any then outstanding mortgage debt or, alternatively, may provide
financing to purchasers with terms advantageous to the Company.  A purchase
money obligation secured by a mortgage may be taken as part payment and there
are no limitations or restrictions on the Company taking such purchase money
obligations.  The terms of payment to the Company will be affected by custom in
the area where the property being sold is located and the then prevailing
economic conditions.  To the extent the Company receives promissory notes or
other property in lieu of cash from property sales, such proceeds (other than
any interest payable thereon) will not be included in net sale proceeds until
and to the extent the promissory notes or other property are actually paid,
sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of and, therefore, the distribution of
the proceeds of a sale to the Stockholders may be delayed until such time.  In
many cases, the Company will receive initial down payments (cash and other
property) in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and
subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years.  See "Investment
Objectives and Policies--Sale or Disposition of Properties."

     Loss on Dissolution and Termination.  At the date of dissolution or
termination of the Company, the undistributed proceeds realized from the
liquidation of assets, if any, will be distributed to Stockholders after
satisfying creditor claims of creditors.  Accordingly, a Stockholder's ability
to recover all of his or her investment under such circumstances will depend on
the amount of funds so realized and claims to be satisfied therefrom.

     Limited Experience of Management in Operation of a REIT.  IREIC and its
Affiliates have sponsored seven public and sixteen private real estate programs
during the past ten years, raising in excess of $206,000,000.  Two of the seven
public programs, Inland's Monthly Income Fund, L.P. and Inland Monthly Income
Fund II, L.P., had investment objectives which were substantially similar to
those of the Company.  However, each of the seven prior public programs,
including Inland's Monthly Income Fund, L.P. and Inland Monthly Income Fund II,
L.P., were structured as limited partnerships and not as real estate investment
trusts.  Additionally, the Company, which is the first IREIC-sponsored REIT,
did not commence operations until January 1995.  Therefore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will attain its 




                                      18


investment objectives since the Company's management, the Advisor and its
Affiliates have limited experience in managing and operating a REIT.

  2. COMPANY RISKS

     Prices Paid for Properties Acquired from Affiliates may Exceed Prices that
would have been Paid by Non-Affiliates.  Two properties owned by the Company,
the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property, were
acquired by the Company from an Affiliate.  The Articles provide that the
Company may not purchase any  property from an Affiliate unless: (i) a majority
of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not
interested in the transaction approve the purchase as fair and reasonable to
the Company; and (ii) the price to the Company is no greater than the cost of
the asset to the Affiliate unless substantial justification for a greater price
exists and the additional price is reasonable.  In no event may the cost to the
Company exceed the property's current appraised value.  All of the Directors
(including all of the then Independent Directors) approved the purchases
described above.  However, there can be no assurance that the prices paid to
the Affiliate for the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur
property or properties which may, in the future be acquired from Affiliates,
did not or would not exceed that which would be paid by an unaffiliated buyer.

     Conflicts of Interest Between the Company and its Affiliates.  The
operation and management of the Company may be influenced or affected by
conflicts of interest arising out of the Advisor's relationship with its
Affiliates on the one hand, and the Company on the other hand.  For example,
the Company will compete with the Affiliates for the Advisor's time and
services.  Further, the due diligence investigation of the Company by the
Dealer Manager, also an Affiliate, cannot be considered to be an independent
review of the Company and, therefore, may not be as meaningful as a review
conducted by an unaffiliated broker-dealer.  Additionally, a substantial
portion of the proceeds of the Offering will be paid to an Affiliate for
managing the Company, including sales commissions and due diligence expense
allowances to the Dealer Manager, and reimbursements to an Affiliate for costs
related to organizing and offering the Shares for sale.  Further, an Advisor
Asset Management Fee of not more than 1% per annum of the Average Invested
Assets will be paid quarterly to the Advisor and a Property Management Fee
equal to not more than 4.5% of the gross revenues of each of the Company's
properties on a monthly basis to an Affiliate.  These fees may cause the
Advisor to delay sale of properties or liquidation of the Company.  The Advisor
and its Affiliates will receive substantial fees and payments for services
rendered to the Company irrespective of whether Stockholders receive
Distributions.

     If an Affiliate breaches its fiduciary obligations to the Company, or does
not resolve conflicts of interest in the manner described in the section of
this Prospectus titled "Conflicts of Interest--Process for Resolution of
Conflicting Opportunities," the Company may not meet its investment objectives.
The agreement between the Advisor and the Company (the "Advisory Agreement")
grants the Company the option to buy any Neighborhood Retail Centers placed
under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates for a period of 60 days.  The
Advisory Agreement also grants the Company the option to purchase any
single-user retail property net leased by a creditworthy tenant located
anywhere in the United States which is placed under contract or is about to be
placed under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates, provided that:  (i) the
Company has funds available to make the purchase; (ii) the Board votes to make
the purchase within five days of being offered the property by the Advisor;
(iii) the property meets the Company's acquisition criteria; provided that more
than one real estate investment program sponsored by Affiliates of the Advisor
has funds available to make the purchase, the property will first be offered to
the program which has had funds available for the longest period of time.  The
Board, in its discretion, may reject any property presented for purchase by the
Advisor.  In exercising this judgment, the Board will consider the property's
location and size and 







                                      19


whether the purchase of the property is consistent with the Company's investment
objectives.  Any property rejected by the Board for purchase by the Company may
be purchased by the Advisor or its Affiliates.  See "Compensation Table" and
"Management--The Advisory Agreement." 

     Dependence on the Directors and Advisor.  The Board has supervisory
control over all aspects of the Company's operations.  The Company's ability to
achieve its investment objectives will depend to a large extent on the Board's
ability to oversee, and the quality of, the management provided by the Advisor,
the Management Agent, their Affiliates and employees for day-to-day operations.
Therefore, the Company is dependent, in large part, on the ability of the
Advisor and its Affiliates to retain the services of each of its executive
officers and key employees, however, none of these individuals has an
employment agreement with the Advisor or its Affiliates.  The loss of any of
these individuals could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.  The
Company does not currently maintain key man life insurance policies on any of
the individuals employed by the Advisor or its Affiliates.  See "Management."

     Dilution.  Stockholders have no preemptive rights, and therefore, in the
event the Company:  (i) commences a subsequent public offering of its Shares or
of convertible debt or Preferred Shares; or (ii) issues Shares or Preferred
Shares upon exercise of warrants, including the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, or
to sellers of properties acquired by the Company in lieu of or in addition to
cash consideration, investors purchasing Shares in this Offering who do not
participate in any future stock issuance will experience dilution of their
equity investment in the Company.  The Soliciting Dealer Warrants issued to the
Dealer Manager in connection with the Prior Offerings and to be issued in
connection with this Offering and/or convertible securities, if any, likely
would be exercised or converted at a time when the Company would be able to
obtain needed capital through a new offering of its securities on terms more
favorable than those provided by such securities.  As long as such securities
remain unexercised or unconverted, the terms on which the Company could raise
additional capital may be adversely affected.

     All Stockholders Bound by Vote of Majority.   The Articles, in most cases,
require a vote of only a majority of the Stockholders on those matters on which
Stockholders are required to vote.  Therefore, a substantial minority of the
Stockholders will be bound by the decision of the majority of the Stockholders
with respect to any matters put to the Stockholders.

     Company's and Stockholders' Rights Against the Directors and the Advisor
are Limited.  The Articles, in the case of the Directors, and the Advisory
Agreement, in the case of the Advisor, require the Company to indemnify these
individuals of the Advisor for certain actions taken by them in good faith and
without negligence or misconduct.  As a result, the Company and the
Stockholders may have more limited rights against the Directors and the Advisor
than they would otherwise have under common law and, furthermore, may be
obligated to fund the defense of the Directors and the Advisor in certain
cases.  In particular, neither the Directors nor the Advisor will be liable to
the Company or the Stockholders unless:  (i) a court finds that the person
actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services;
and (ii) the person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active or
deliberate dishonesty  and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in
the proceeding.  See "Fiduciary Responsibility of Directors and the Advisor;
Indemnification."

  3. RISKS OF REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP

     General.  All real property investments are subject to some degree of
risk.  Equity real estate investments are generally illiquid and, therefore,
the Company's ability to promptly vary its portfolio in response to changing
economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. Real property
investments are also subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions
or local conditions which reduce the demand for the goods or services of
tenants, as well as other factors affecting real estate values, including:  (i)
possible federal, state or local regulations and controls affecting rents,
prices of goods, fuel and energy consumption and prices, water and
environmental restrictions; (ii) increasing labor and material costs; and (iii)
the attractiveness of the property to tenants in the neighborhood.

     The Company is subject to the risk that tenants, as well as lease
guarantors, if any, may be unable to make their lease payments.  A default by a
lessee, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other
premature termination of a lease could, depending on the size of the leased
premises and the Advisor's ability to successfully find a substitute tenant,
have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial
condition.  See "Prior Performance of the Company's Affiliates--Loan
Modifications and Work-Outs."

     Competition for Tenants and Customers.  The Company could be adversely
affected if competitive types of properties are built in locations competitive
with properties owned by the Company, causing increased competition for
customer traffic and credit tenants.  This could result in decreased cash flow
for tenants and may require the Company to make capital improvements to its
properties which it would not have otherwise made.

     Hazardous Waste, Environmental Liens and Other Governmental Regulations.
Federal and state statutes impose, under certain circumstances, liability on
property owners or operators for the clean-up or removal of hazardous
substances found on their properties.  These statutes typically allow liens to
be placed on the affected property.  In addition, there are various local,
state and federal health and safety regulations which the Company may, under
certain circumstances, be required to comply with, and liability in the form of
fines or damages for noncompliance.  The Company's properties are subject to
the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), which generally requires that
public accommodations, including restaurants and retail stores, be made
accessible to disabled persons.  See "--Costs Associated with Compliance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act" in this Section.  Under net leases, the
tenant typically is responsible for complying with the ADA and other laws and
regulations or is required to indemnify the Company when the law or regulation
places the burden on the landlord.  However, the Company could be liable for
violations of such laws and regulations to the extent the tenant does not have
sufficient resources to provide indemnification.  State and federal laws in
this area are constantly evolving, and the Company intends to monitor these
laws and take commercially reasonable steps to protect itself from the impact
thereof, including obtaining environmental audits of each property acquired.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company's results of operations or
financial condition will not be adversely affected by these laws.

     Costs Associated with Complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to comply with certain
federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons.  These
requirements became effective in 1992.  The ADA has separate compliance
requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities" but
generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with
disabilities.  The ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers
and could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or an
award of damages to private litigants.  The Company will attempt to acquire
properties which comply with the ADA or place the 





                                      21


burden on the seller to ensure compliance with the ADA, although there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to acquire properties utilizing this
criterion. 

     Potential Additional Costs in Connection with Acquiring Single-User Retail
Properties.  Certain of the properties or portions thereof may be designed or
built primarily for a particular tenant or a specific type of use.  If the
tenant fails to renew or defaults on its lease obligations, the property may
not be readily marketable to a new tenant without substantial capital
improvements or remodeling which may adversely affect the Company's results of
operation and financial condition.

     Competition with Others for the Acquisition of Properties.  The Company
competes with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities,
some of which have greater resources than
the Company.  In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds
available for investment in properties of a type suitable for investment by the
Company may increase, resulting in increased competition for such investments
and possible increases in the prices paid therefor.

     Reliance on Certain Tenants.  The Company's results of operations and
financial condition and ability to make Distributions may be adversely affected
by the bankruptcy or insolvency, or a downturn in the business, of any tenant
generally occupying approximately 30% or more of the gross leasable area
("GLA") of a Neighborhood Retail Center, or the tenant of any single-user
property ("Anchor Tenant"), including the decision by an Anchor Tenant not to
renew its lease.  In addition, lease termination by one or more Anchor Tenants
could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose
leases permit cancellation or rent reduction in the event an Anchor Tenant's
lease is terminated.  In such event, the Company's ability to re-lease the
vacated space could be adversely affected.  Similarly, the leases of certain
Anchor Tenants may permit the Anchor Tenant to transfer its lease to another
retailer.  The transfer to a new Anchor Tenant could adversely affect customer
traffic in the Neighborhood Retail Center and thereby reduce the income
generated by that center and could also allow other tenants to make reduced
rental payments or to terminate their leases at the center.

     Inability of Lessees to Meet Their Obligations.  The Company is subject to
the risk that tenants, as well as lease guarantors, if any, may be unable to
make their lease payments when due.  A default by a lessee and/or the failure
of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other premature termination of a
lease could, depending on the size of the property and the Advisor's ability to
successfully find a substitute tenant, have an adverse effect on the Company's
results of operation and financial position, including its ability to pay
Distributions.

     Restrictions on Re-leasing Space.  In many cases, tenant leases contain
provisions giving the tenant the exclusive right to sell certain types of
merchandise or provide certain types of services within  the particular
Neighborhood Retail Center, or limit the ability of other tenants to sell such
merchandise or provide such services.  When re-leasing space after a vacancy
occurs, these provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants
for the vacant space.

     Uninsured Losses; Unavailability of Insurance.  Each lessee is responsible
for insuring its goods and premises and, in certain circumstances, may be
required to reimburse the Company for a share of the cost of acquiring
comprehensive insurance for the property, including casualty, liability, fire
and extended coverage customarily obtained for similar properties in amounts
which the Advisor determines are sufficient to cover reasonably foreseeable
losses.  Tenants of single-user, net leased properties typically are required
to pay all insurance costs associated with those properties.  However, there
are certain types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses
due to wars) which are either uninsurable or not 






                                      22


economically insurable.  If such an event occurred to, or caused the destruction
of, a property owned by the  Company, the Company could lose both its invested
capital and anticipated profits from such property.  See "Investment Objectives
and Policies--Description of Leases."

     Risk of Recharacterization of Sale and Leaseback Transactions.  The
Company intends to enter into sale and leaseback transactions, pursuant to
which the Company will purchase a property from an entity and lease such
property to such entity.  In the event of the bankruptcy of such a lessee, a
transaction structured as a sale and leaseback may be recharacterized as either
a financing or as a joint venture, which may result in adverse consequences to
the Company.  To the extent the sale and leaseback is treated as a
financing, the Company might not be considered the owner of such property and
as such would have the status of a creditor with respect to the property in
question.

     Potential Additional Costs in Connection with Acquiring Newly Constructed
Properties.  The Company intends primarily to acquire existing or newly
constructed property currently in operation.  Although the Company will only
acquire newly constructed buildings on a turnkey basis, the builder's failure
to perform may necessitate legal action by the Company to rescind its purchase
of a property, to compel performance or to sue for damages.  Any such legal
action may result in increased costs to the Company.

     Risks Associated with Investments in Unimproved Real Property.  The
Company may invest up to 10% of its assets in unimproved real property.
Investment in unimproved properties, in addition to the risks of real estate
investment in general, are also subject to risks and uncertainties associated
with re-zoning the land for a higher use or development and environmental
concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups.

  4. TAX RISKS

     General.  There are various federal income tax risks associated with
investing in the Company.  Although the provisions of the Code relevant to an
investment in the Company are generally described in the Section of the
Prospectus titled "Federal Income Tax Considerations," each potential investor
is strongly urged to consult his or her own tax advisor concerning the effects
of federal income tax law on an investment in the Company and on his or her
individual tax situation.

     Investors should recognize that many of the advantages and economic
benefits of investing in the Company depend upon the continued treatment of the
Company as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  If the Company were no
longer taxed as a REIT, the Company would pay a corporate level tax on its
income which would reduce its cash available to pay Distributions and the yield
from investing in the Company.  The continued treatment of the Company as a
REIT is dependent on laws and regulations, which are subject to change, and on
the Company's ability to continue to satisfy a variety of objective tests set
forth in the Code.

     Among the various risks associated with the federal income tax aspects of
the Offering of which investors should be aware are:

     Risk of Failing to Qualify as a REIT.  Qualification as a REIT involves
the application of certain technical and highly complex provisions of the Code
to various factual matters and circumstances based on the actual operations of
the Company, some of which are not within the Company's control.  In
particular, timing differences between the recognition of income and the
receipt of cash could cause the Company to have difficulty meeting the REIT
requirement of distributing 95% of its taxable income.  





                                      23


Although the Company was organized and intends to operate so as to continue to
qualify as a REIT, no assurance can be given that the Company will in fact be
able to so qualify. Further, the Company's desire to maintain REIT status could
cause it not to acquire certain properties or undertake certain activities.

     If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT or loses its REIT status, its
Distributions will not be deductible and its income will be subject to tax,
which will substantially reduce the cash available to pay Distributions.  In
addition, the Company may be required to borrow funds, liquidate certain of its
investments or take other steps which could affect its operating results due to
this tax liability.  Moreover, if the Company's REIT status is terminated
because of the failure to meet a technical REIT test or it voluntarily
revokes its election, the Company would be disqualified from electing treatment
as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which REIT status is
lost.

     Limitations on Share Ownership.  In order for the Company to qualify as a
REIT, no more than 50% of the outstanding Shares may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of
the Company's taxable year.  To ensure that the Company will not fail to
qualify as a REIT under this test, the Articles provide that no person may own,
or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more
than 9.8% of the number or value of the issued and outstanding stock of the
Company.  See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."

     Tax Liability on Reinvested Distributions. Stockholders that participate
in the DRP will be deemed to have received, and will for income tax purposes be
taxed on, the amount reinvested in Shares.  Therefore, Stockholders (other than
Tax-Exempt Entities) will have to use funds from other sources to pay their tax
liability on the value of the Shares received.  See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Other Tax Considerations--Distribution Reinvestment Program."

     Limitations on Opinion of Counsel.  The opinion of Counsel (as defined
herein) is based and conditioned on various assumptions and representations
made by the Company as to certain factual matters.  As set forth more fully in
the Section of the Prospectus titled "Federal Income Tax Considerations,"
Counsel has expressed its opinion based on the facts described in this
Prospectus, the Articles and certain representations by the Company and the
Advisor that:  (i) the Company has been organized in conformity with the
requirements for qualification as a REIT, beginning with its taxable year
ending December 31, 1995 and that its prior, current and anticipated methods of
operation have enabled and should enable the Company to satisfy the REIT
Requirements; and (ii) distributions to a Stockholder which is a Tax-Exempt
Entity will not constitute UBTI under current law, unless:  (a) such
Stockholder has financed the acquisition of its Shares with "acquisition
indebtedness" (within the meaning of the Code); or (b) a Qualified Trust (as
defined herein) owns more than 10% of the Shares and the Company is a
"Pension-Held REIT" (as defined herein).  See, however, "Description of
Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."

     The Company's qualification as a REIT will depend upon the Company's
ability to meet, through actual operating results, various tests imposed by the
Code.  The Company's ability to maintain its REIT status will depend upon its
ability (based on its actual operating results) to meet the requirements
necessary to maintain status as a REIT, and Counsel will not review compliance
with the REIT Requirements on a continuing basis after the initial effective
date of the Registration Statement or issue any opinions in the future unless
expressly requested to do so.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
Company's actual operating results will allow the Company to satisfy the REIT
requirements.  In addition, this opinion represents Counsel's legal judgment
based on the law in effect as of the initial effective date, and is not binding
on the Service and could be subject to modification or withdrawal due to future
changes in the law.






                                      24


  5. ERISA RISKS

     Suitability of the Company's Investments for Qualified Pension and
Profit-Sharing Trusts.  When considering an investment in the Company with a
portion of the assets of a Qualified Plan, a fiduciary should consider:  (i)
whether the investment satisfies the diversification requirements of Section
404(a)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or other applicable restrictions imposed by ERISA; and (ii) whether
the investment is prudent, since there is anticipated to be only a limited
market in which it can sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares.  The Company
has not, and will not, evaluate whether an investment in the Company is
suitable for any particular plan, but, subject to the
disclosure included therein, will accept such entities as Stockholders if an
entity otherwise meets the suitability standards.  See "ERISA Considerations."

     If the Company is considered a Pension-Held REIT, an investment in the
Company may also produce UBTI which may cause a Qualified Plan holding 10% or
more of the Shares to pay a tax on a portion of the income distributed to it by
the Company.  The determination of whether the Company will constitute a
Pension-Held REIT will depend on the concentration of ownership by one or more
Qualified Plans, a factor that is not within the control of the Company.  See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Description of
Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."

     In addition to considering their fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA
and the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code, advisors to
Qualified Plans should also consider the effect of the "Plan Asset" regulations
issued by the Department of Labor.  See "ERISA Considerations."

     Stockholders subject to ERISA will be provided with an annual statement of
value reporting the value of each Share based upon an estimated amount (as
determined by the Company) they would receive if the Company's properties were
sold as of the close of the Company's fiscal year and if such proceeds (without
reduction for selling expenses), together with the other funds of the Company
were distributed in liquidation of the Company; provided, however, the Net
Asset Value of each Share is expected to be at least $10 through the
termination of this Offering.  This annual valuation may be revised by the
Company from time to time.  There can be no assurance that:  (i) such value
could actually be realized by the Company or by Stockholders upon liquidation
(in part because estimates of value do not necessarily indicate the price at
which assets could be sold, and because no attempt will be made to estimate the
expenses of selling any asset of the Company); (ii) Stockholders could realize
such value if they were to attempt to sell their Shares; or (iii) such value
would comply with the ERISA requirements.  Should the Shares become listed for
trading on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national
market system, the Company will no longer provide such valuations.

     IN VIEW OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX ASPECTS OF THE OFFERING, PARTICULARLY
IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT CERTAIN OF THE TAX ASPECTS OF THE OFFERING WILL NOT
BE THE SAME FOR ALL INVESTORS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO
CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THEIR OWN TAX SITUATION
PRIOR TO INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.







                                      25

                    ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS OF OFFERING


     The amounts set forth in the table below represent the Company's current
estimates concerning the use of the Gross Offering Proceeds.  All proceeds of
the Offering are held in trust by the Company for the benefit of the
Stockholders, to be used only for the purposes set forth above and will not be
commingled with the accounts of the Advisor and its Affiliates.  As of the date
of this Prospectus, the Company owned 33 properties comprised of 28
Neighborhood Retail Centers and five single-user retail properties and had
approximately $10,000,000 available for additional investments.  The Company
estimates that 87.06% of Gross Offering Proceeds will be used to acquire
properties if the Maximum Offering is sold.  If the Maximum Offering is sold,
8.56% of the Gross Offering Proceeds will be utilized to pay selling and due
diligence expenses to unaffiliated third parties and 2.88% of the Gross
Offering Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor and its Affiliates to pay for the
costs of the Offering and the Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense
Allowance.

                                MAXIMUM OFFERING

- --------------------------
     (1) The amounts shown in this table represent the Company's current
estimates of the uses of the Gross Offering Proceeds if the Maximum Offering
Amount is sold, and, accordingly, may not accurately reflect the actual
application of such proceeds.

     (2) The Company will pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions equal to
up to 7% or $14,000,000 of the gross offering proceeds from the Shares offered
on the "best efforts" basis and, under certain circumstances, one Soliciting
Dealer Warrant for every 40 Shares sold, all or part of which compensation may
be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers; provided that the Company will
not issue more than 875,000 Soliciting Dealer Warrants.  The Dealer Manager
will also receive the Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense
Allowance Fee equal up to 2.5% or $5,000,000 of the gross offering proceeds
from the Shares offered on the "best efforts" basis, some portion of which may
be reallowed to Soliciting Dealers.  This category of expense includes all
amounts attributable to marketing and bona fide due diligence expenses.
Certain volume discounts may be given on orders of 25,000 Shares or more.  The
Company will not pay any selling commission on Shares purchased by the Advisor,
its 





                                      26


Affiliates, the Dealer Manager or Soliciting Dealers.  Any Shares purchased
by the Advisor or its Affiliates will be purchased for investment purposes only
and not with a view toward resale.  A maximum of 1,000,000 Shares available for
issuance under the Distribution Reinvestment Program will be sold at reduced
price due to decreased costs associated with these issuances and will be sold at
a price of $9.50 per Share ($9,500,000 if all of those Shares are sold).  See
"Conflicts of Interest," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," "Plan of Distribution" and "Distribution
Reinvestment and Share Repurchase Programs--Distribution Reinvestment Program."

     (3) Reflects the Advisor's best estimates of legal, accounting, printing
and other offering expenses, including amounts to reimburse the Advisor for
marketing, salaries and direct expenses of its employees while directly engaged
in registering and marketing the Shares and other marketing and organization
expenses.  The Advisor has guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses
(excluding selling commissions and the marketing contribution and due diligence
expense allowance fee) in excess of 5.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds or all
Organization and Offering Expenses (including such selling expenses) which
together exceed 15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds.  This guaranty is without
recourse to or reimbursement by the Company.

     (4) The Advisor will be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket Acquisition
Expenses in an amount estimated to be equal to 0.5% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds ($1,047,500, assuming the Maximum Offering including Shares sold under
the DRP).  In addition, the Advisor will be reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket
Acquisition Expenses equal to 0.5% of any funds borrowed by the Company to
acquire properties.  Expenses incurred in connection with incurring
indebtedness will be payable from the proceeds of such borrowings ($523,750,
assuming the Maximum Offering, including Shares sold under the DRP, are sold,
and the borrowings equal 50% of the Maximum Offering).  Acquisition Expenses
include but are not limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor
in selecting, evaluating, acquiring and investing in the Company's properties,
whether or not acquired, including, but not limited to:  surveys, appraisals,
title insurance and escrow fees, non-refundable option payments, legal and
accounting fees and expenses, computer use related expenses, architectural and
engineering reports, environmental and asbestos audits, travel and
communication expenses and personnel and miscellaneous expenses related to the
selection and acquisition of properties.

     (5) The Advisor will not receive a fee for the acquisition of properties.
However, the seller of a property may pay a real estate brokerage commission to
a third party in connection with the Company's purchase of a property.  Since a
seller may fix the selling price of a property at an amount sufficient to cover
the cost of a real estate commission, the Company, as purchaser, may indirectly
pay such amount in the purchase price, which amount may be considered an
acquisition fee.  The Advisor will endeavor, whenever possible, to purchase
properties directly from sellers, without the involvement of a real estate
broker.  When a property has been listed by a seller with a real estate broker,
the Advisor will endeavor, whenever possible, to be allocated a portion of the
real estate brokerage commission paid by the seller.  All real estate brokerage
commissions so allocated to the Advisor will then be remitted in their entirety
to the Company by the Advisor.

     (6) The Company will add 1% of the Gross Offering Proceeds to its working
capital reserve.


                                WHO MAY INVEST

     An investment in Shares involves certain risks and is suitable only as a
long-term investment for persons of adequate financial means who have no
immediate need for liquidity in their investment.  Shares will be sold only to
persons who initially purchase a minimum of 300 Shares ($3,000) or Tax-Exempt
Entities which purchase a minimum of 100 Shares ($1,000), except for investors
resident in the State of Iowa where the minimum investment for IRAs will be 300
Shares ($3,000) and for investors resident in the State of Minnesota where the
minimum investment for IRAs and qualified plan accounts will be 200 Shares
($2,000).  In addition, the Company has established financial suitability
standards for investors who purchase Shares.  These standards require investors
to have either:  (i) a minimum annual gross income of $45,000 and a net worth
(exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $45,000; or (ii) a net
worth (determined with the foregoing exclusions) of $150,000.  Investors in
Maine must have either:  (i) a minimum annual gross income of $50,000 and a net
worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $50,000; or (ii)
a net worth (determined with the foregoing exclusions) of $200,000. In the case
of gifts to minors, the suitability standards must be met by the custodian
account or by the donor and by acceptance of the confirmation of purchase or
delivery of the Shares, an investor represents that he satisfied any applicable
suitability standards.







                                      27




     In purchasing Shares, custodians or trustees of employee pension benefits
plans or IRAs may be subject to the fiduciary duties imposed by ERISA or other
applicable laws and to the prohibited transaction rules prescribed by ERISA and
related provisions of the Code.  In addition, prior to purchasing Shares, the
trustee or custodian of an employee pension benefit plan or an IRA should
determine that such an investment would be permissible under the governing
instruments of such plan or account and applicable law.  See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Taxation of Stockholders--Taxation of Tax-Exempt
Stockholders" and "ERISA Considerations."

     Suitability standards may be higher in certain states.  Investors must
meet all of the applicable requirements set forth in the Subscription
Agreement.  Under the laws of certain states, an investor may transfer his/her
Shares only to persons who meet similar standards, and the Company may require
certain assurances that these standards are met.  Investors should carefully
read the requirements in connection with resales of Shares set forth in the
Subscription Agreement and under "Description of Securities--Restrictions on
Transfer."

     The agreements between the Dealer Manager and each of the Soliciting
Dealers requires each Soliciting Dealer to make diligent inquiries as required
by law of all prospective purchasers in order to ascertain whether a purchase
of Shares is suitable and appropriate based upon information provided by the
prospective purchaser regarding his financial situation and investment
objectives and to transmit promptly to the Company, the fully completed
subscription documentation and any other supporting documentation reasonably
required by the Company.  By executing the subscription agreement relating to
the Shares (the "Subscription Agreement"), by tendering payment for Shares and
by accepting confirmation of purchase or delivery of the Shares, an investor
represents that he or she satisfies any applicable suitability standards.

     In addition, each Soliciting Dealer will, by completing the Subscription
Agreement, acknowledge its determination that the Shares are a suitable and
appropriate investment for the investor, and will be required to represent and
warrant his or her compliance with applicable laws requiring the determination
of the suitability and appropriateness of the Shares as an investment for the
subscriber.  The Company will, in addition to the foregoing, coordinate the
processes and procedures utilized by the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers
and, where necessary, implement such additional reviews and procedures deemed
necessary to assure the adherence by registered representatives to the
suitability standards set forth herein.

     (1) Each Soliciting Dealer Warrant grants the holder a right to purchase
one Share at a price of $12 per Share during the period beginning from the date
the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and ending on July 13, 2002.  No
Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be exercisable until one year from the date of
issuance.  See "Plan of Distribution--Compensation."

     (2) The total of all Acquisition Expenses paid by the Company in
connection with the purchase of a property by the Company may not exceed an
amount equal to 6% of the Contract Price for the Property (as defined herein),
unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors), not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve the
transaction as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the
Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total of all Acquisition Expenses
paid by the Company in connection with the purchase of a property by the
Company from an Affiliate may not exceed 6% of the Contract Price for the
Property.

     (3) The Advisor and its Affiliates assist the Company in determining the
types of transactions entered into by the Company.  The Advisor benefits, in
the form of fees, by the Company retaining ownership of its properties and
leveraging its properties, while Stockholders may be better served by sale or
disposition of the properties or not incurring indebtedness secured by the
properties.  Furthermore, the Advisor's ability to receive or retain certain
fees and reimbursements is dependent upon the Company continuing to invest in
properties.  Therefore, the interest of the Advisor in receiving such fees may
conflict with the interest of the Stockholders to earn income on their
investment in Shares and may result in the Company entering into transactions
which may not be in the best interest of the Stockholders.

     (4)        (i) The Advisor and its Affiliates are reimbursed for:  (a) the
           cost to the Advisor or its Affiliates of goods and services used for
           and by the Company and obtained from unaffiliated parties; and (b)

            services related thereto.  "Administrative services" include only
            ministerial services such as typing, record keeping, preparing and
            disseminating  Company reports, preparing and maintaining records
            regarding Stockholders, record keeping and administration of the
            DRP and Share Repurchase Programs, preparing and disseminating
            responses to Stockholder inquiries and other communications with
            Stockholders and any other record keeping required for the Company.
        
                 (ii) In extraordinary circumstances fully justified to the
            official or agency administering the state securities laws, the
            Advisor and its Affiliates may provide other goods and services to
            the Company if all of the following criteria are met:  (a) the
            goods or services must be necessary to the prudent operation of the
            Company; (b) the compensation, price or fee must be equal to the
            lesser of 90% of the compensation, price or fee the Company would
            be required to pay to independent parties who are rendering
            comparable services or selling or leasing comparable goods on
            competitive terms in the same geographic location, or 90% of the
            compensation, price or fee charged by the Advisor or its Affiliates
            for rendering comparable services or selling or leasing comparable
            goods on competitive terms; or (c) if at least 95% of gross
            revenues attributable to the business of rendering such services or
            selling or leasing such goods are derived from persons other than
            Affiliates, the compensation, price or fee charged by an
            unaffiliated person who is rendering comparable services or selling
            or leasing comparable goods must be on competitive terms in the
            same geographic location.  In addition, any such payment will be
            subject to the further limitation described in paragraph (iii)
            below.  Extraordinary circumstances shall be presumed only when
            there is an emergency situation requiring immediate action by the
            Advisor or its Affiliates and the goods or services are not
            immediately available from unaffiliated parties.  Services which
            may be performed in such extraordinary circumstances include
            emergency maintenance of Company properties, janitorial and other
            related services due to strikes or lock-outs, emergency tenant
            evictions and repair services which require immediate action, as
            well as operating and re-leasing properties with respect to which
            the leases are in default or have been terminated.

                 (iii) No reimbursement is permitted to the Advisor or its
            Affiliates under clause (i)(b) above for items such as rent,
            depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and other administrative
            items and the salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other
            administrative items of any controlling persons of the Advisor, its
            Affiliates or any other supervisory personnel except in those
            instances in which the Company believes it to be in the best
            interest of the Company that the Advisor or its Affiliates operate
            or otherwise deal with, for an interim period, a property with
            respect to which the lease is in default.  Permitted
            reimbursements, except as set forth above, include salaries and
            related salary expenses for non-supervisory services which could be
            performed directly for the Company by independent parties such as
            legal, accounting, transfer agent, data processing and duplication.
            Controlling persons include, but are not limited to, any person,
            irrespective of his or her title, who performs functions for the
            Advisor similar to those of:  (a) chairman or member of the board
            of directors; (b) president or executive vice president; or (c)
            those entities or individuals holding 5% or more of the stock of
            the Advisor or a person having the power to direct or cause the
            direction of the Advisor, whether through ownership of voting
            securities, by contract or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, and subject to the approval of the Board, the Company
            may reimburse the Advisor for expenses related to the activities of
            controlling persons undertaken in capacities other than those which
            cause them to be controlling persons.  The Advisor believes that
            its employees and the employees of its Affiliates and controlling
            persons who perform services for the Company for which
            reimbursement is allowed pursuant to clause (ii)(c) above, have the
            experience and educational background, in their respective fields
            of expertise, appropriate for the performance of such services.

                 (iv) The Total Operating Expenses of the Company may not (in
            the absence of a satisfactory showing to the contrary) in any
            fiscal year exceed the greater of:  (a) 2% of the Average Invested
            Assets; or (b) 25% of its Net Income for such year.  The
            Independent Directors may, upon a finding of unusual and
            non-recurring factors which they deem sufficient, determine that a
            higher level of expenses is justified in any given year.  There are
            certain additional restrictions on expenses that will be borne by
            the Company.

     (5) The Advisor and its Affiliates shall not be compensated for any
services other than those which have been fully disclosed in this Compensation
Table.

     (6) The Company shall not pay, directly or indirectly, a commission or fee
to the Advisor or its Affiliates in connection with the reinvestment of the
proceeds of any resale, exchange, financing or refinancing of a Company
property.



                                     36



                            CONFLICTS OF INTEREST




     The Company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its
relationship with the Sponsor, the Advisor or its Affiliates.  All agreements
and arrangements, including those relating to compensation, between the Company
and the Advisor and its Affiliates are not the result of arm's-length
negotiations.  The limitations on the Advisor described below have been adopted
to control when the Company enters into transactions with the Advisor and its
Affiliates.  With respect to the conflicts of interest described herein, the
Advisor and its Affiliates will endeavor to balance the interests of the
Company with the interests of the Advisor and its Affiliates in making any
determination.

     1.   Competition for the Time and Service of the Advisor and Affiliates.
The Company relies on the Advisor and its Affiliates for the daily  operation
of the Company and the management of its assets.  Affiliates of the Advisor
have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, services and
functions among various existing real estate programs and any future real 
estate programs or other entities which they may organize or serve, as well as
other business ventures in which they are involved.  The Advisor and its
Affiliates believe they have sufficient staff to be fully capable of
discharging their responsibilities in connection with various real estate
programs and other business ventures.

          The Company believes that the compensation payable to the Advisor or
its Affiliates under the Advisory Agreement is on terms no less favorable to the
Company than those customary for similar services performed by independent
firms in the relevant geographic area, but in no event more than 2% of the
Average Invested Assets less Other Operating Expenses.  See "Compensation
Table."  The Advisory Agreement, by its terms, may be terminated by a majority
vote of the Stockholders upon 60 days prior written notice.  See
"Management--The Advisory Agreement."

     2.   Process for Resolving Conflicting Opportunities.  Affiliates of the
Advisor have sponsored publicly and privately offered entities and may in the
future sponsor publicly and privately offered REITs or other entities which may
have investment objectives very similar to the Company's.  The Advisor and its
Affiliates could, therefore, be subject to conflicts of interest between the
Company and other programs in connection with the acquisition of properties. 
To the extent possible, the resolution of conflicting investment opportunities
between the Company and other investment entities advised or managed by the
Advisor and its Affiliates will, as a general rule, be resolved by giving
priority to the entity having uninvested funds for the longest period of time. 
The Advisory Agreement grants the Company the first opportunity to buy
Neighborhood Retail Centers placed under contract by the Advisor or its
Affiliates provided the Company is able to close the purchase of the property
within 60 days.  The Advisory Agreement also grants the Company a right to
purchase any single-user retail property  net leased by a creditworthy tenant
located anywhere in the United States which is placed under contract by the
Advisor or its Affiliates provided that:  (i) the Company has funds available
to make the purchase; (ii) the Board votes to make the purchase within five
days of being offered the property by the Advisor; (iii) the property meets the
Company's acquisition criteria; provided that if more than one real estate
program sponsored by Affiliates of the Advisor has funds available to make the
purchase, the property will first be offered to the program which has had funds
available for the longest period of time.  Other factors which may be
considered in connection with evaluating the suitability of the property for
investment include:  (i) the effect of the acquisition on the diversification
of each entity's portfolio; (ii) the amount of funds available for investment;
(iii) cash flow; and (iv) the estimated income tax effects of the purchase and
subsequent disposition.  The Independent Directors must, by a majority vote,
approve all actions by the Advisor or its Affiliates which present potential
conflicts with the Company.  See "Management--The Advisory Agreement."


                                     37


     The Company believes that these factors, together with the obligations of
the Advisor and the Affiliates to present the Company with any investment
opportunity which could be suitable for the Company, will help to lessen the
competition or conflicts with respect to the purchase of properties by other
entities and the Company.

     3.   Acqusition from Affiliates.  The Company acquired two of its
properties from an Affiliate.  The purchase prices for these properties were
not the subject of arm's-length negotiations.  The Articles provide that the
purchase price of any property acquired from an Affiliate: (i) may not exceed
its fair market value as determined by a competent independent appraiser who is
a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers;
and (ii) must be approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority
of the Independent Directors) not interested in the transaction as fair and
reasonable to the Company.  The Directors (including all of the then Independent
Directors) approved these acquisitions, however, there can be no assurance that
the prices paid to the Affiliate did not exceed these which would have been
paid by an unaffiliated purchaser.

     4.   The Company may Purchase Properties from Persons with whom Affiliates
of the Advisor have Prior Business Relationships.  The Company may purchase
properties from third parties who have sold properties in the past or who may
sell properties in the future to the Advisor or its Affiliates.  In the event
the Company purchases properties from these third parties, the Advisor will
experience a conflict between the current interests of the Company and its
interests in preserving any ongoing business relationship.  Nevertheless, the
Advisor will not consummate purchases in a manner which would cause it to
breach its fiduciary obligations to the Company. See "Management."

     5.   Property Management Services are being Rendered by an Affiliate of
the Advisor.  An Affiliate of the Advisor, Inland Commercial Property
Management, Inc., provides property management services to the Company on a
competitive basis in a manner consistent with customary business practices.  See
"Compensation Table--Nonsubordinated Payments--Operational Stage."  The Advisor
and the Management Agent believe that the Management Agent has sufficient
personnel and other required resources to discharge all responsibilities to the
Company.

     6.   Receipt of Commissions.  Fees and Other Compensation by the Advisor
and its Affiliates. The Advisor and its Affiliates have received, and will 
continue to receive, the compensation described in the  "Compensation Table." 
Certain compensation is payable notwithstanding the lack of cash available to
make Distributions to the Stockholders.  To that extent, the Advisor benefits
from the Company's retaining ownership of its properties and leveraging its
properties, while Stockholders may be better served by sale or disposition or
not incurring indebtedness secured by the properties.  Furthermore, the receipt
and retention of certain fees and reimbursements is dependent upon the
Company's continuing to invest in properties.  Therefore, the interest of the
Advisor in receiving such fees may conflict with the interest of the
Stockholders in earning income on their investment in Shares.  The Advisor and
its Affiliates recognize that they have a fiduciary duty to the Company and the
Stockholders, and have represented to the Company that their actions and
decisions will be made in the manner most favorable to the Company and its
Stockholders, so as not to breach their respective fiduciary duties.  See also
"Risk Factors -- Dilution" regarding issuance of Soliciting Dealer Warrants to
the Dealer Manager.

     7.   Non-Arm's-Length Agreements.  The agreements and arrangements,
including those relating to compensation, between the Company and the Advisor
or any of its Affiliates are not the result of arm's-length negotiations, but
the Company believes that these agreements and arrangements approximate the
terms of arm's-length transactions.


                                     38


     While the Company does not make loans to the Advisor or its Affiliates,
the Company has and may continue to borrow money from the Advisor or its
Affiliates for various purposes including funding working capital requirements,
but only on terms as to interest rate, security, fees and other charges at
least as favorable to the Company as determined by a majority of the Directors
(including a majority of the Independent Directors) as those charged by
unaffiliated lending institutions in the same locality on comparable loans for
the same purpose.  See "Real Property Investments."

     The Advisor and its Affiliates may provide services to, and otherwise deal
or do business with, persons who deal with the Company, although there are no
present arrangements with respect to any such services.  However, no rebates or
"give-ups" may be received by the Advisor or its Affiliates, nor may the
Advisor or any such Affiliates participate in any reciprocal business
arrangements which would have the effect of circumventing any provision of the
Advisory Agreement.

     8.   The Company and the Advisor have the Same Legal Counsel.  Shefsky &
Froelich Ltd. serves as general counsel to the Company, as well as to the
Advisor and some of its Affiliates.  Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. is not acting as
counsel for the Stockholders or any potential investor.  There is a possibility
that in the future the interests of the various parties may become adverse, and
under the Code of Professional Responsibility of the legal profession, Shefsky
& Froelich Ltd. may be precluded from representing any one or all of these
parties.  If any situation arises in which the interests of the Company appear
to be in conflict with those of the Advisor or its Affiliates, additional
counsel may be retained by one or more of the parties to assure adequate
protection of their respective interests.  Moreover, should such a conflict not
be readily apparent, counsel may inadvertently act in derogation of the
interest of certain parties which could affect the Company and, therefore, the
Stockholders' ability to meet their investment objectives. 

     9.   Inland Securities Corporation is Participating as Dealer Manager in
the Sale of the Shares.  Inland Securities Corporation, a securities dealer
affiliated with the Advisor, is the Dealer Manager of the Offering and is
entitled to selling commissions and Soliciting Dealer Warrants, some or all of
which may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers.  See "Risk Factors --
Dilution" and "Plan of Distribution--Compensation" regarding issuance of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrants to the Dealer Manager. Any review of the structure,
formation or operation of the Company performed by the Dealer Manager will be
conducted as if it was an independent review; however, it cannot be considered
to represent an independent review and may not be as meaningful as a review
conducted by an unaffiliated broker-dealer.  Thus, the Dealer Manager may be
subject to a conflict of interest, which may arise out of its participation in
the Offering and its affiliation with the Advisor, in performing its "due
diligence" obligations which arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act").  However, the Dealer Manager believes it has properly performed
and will properly perform these "due diligence" activities.

     10.   The Advisor may have Conflicting Fiduciary Obligations in the Event
the Company Acquires Properties with Affiliates.  The Advisor may cause the
Company to acquire an interest in a property through a joint venture with an
Affiliate of the Advisor.  In such instance, the Advisor will have a fiduciary
duty to both the Company and the Affiliate participating in the joint venture. 
In order to minimize the likelihood of a conflict between these fiduciary
duties, the Advisory Agreement provides guidelines for investments in joint
ventures with Affiliates.  In addition, the Articles require a majority of the
Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in the transaction to determine that the transaction is fair and
reasonable to the Corporation and is on terms and conditions no less favorable
than from unaffiliated third parties to the Company entering into the venture. 
See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint Ventures."





                                     39

                  FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY OF DIRECTORS AND
                         THE ADVISOR; INDEMNIFICATION
                                      

GENERAL 
     Consistent with the duties and obligations of, and limitations on, the
Directors as set forth in the Articles and under the laws of the State of
Maryland, the Directors are accountable to the Stockholders as fiduciaries and
are required to perform their duties in good faith and in a manner each
Director believes to be in the best interest of the Company and its
Stockholders, with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as a prudent person
in a like position would use under similar circumstances.  In addition, the
Independent Directors must review at least annually the relationship of the
Company with the Advisor and the Advisor's performance of its duties under the
Advisory Agreement, and must determine that the compensation paid to the
Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services
performed.  The Advisor also has a fiduciary duty to the Company and the
Stockholders.


LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
     The liability of the Directors and officers of the Company is limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL.  Accordingly, the Directors and
officers may not be held liable to the Company or its Stockholders for monetary
damages unless:  (a) it is proven that the person actually received an improper
benefit or profit in money, property or services; and (b) to the extent that a
judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a
proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person's action, or
failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was
material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

     The Company's Articles and Bylaws authorize it, to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with
Section 2-418 of the MGCL, to indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable
expenses to:  any Director, the Advisor or its Affiliates (each an "Indemnified
Party") provided, that:  (i) the Director, Advisor or its Affiliates, have
determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or
liability was in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the Director, the
Advisor or its Affiliates were acting on behalf of or performing services on
the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of
negligence or misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party, except that in
the event the Indemnified Party is or was an Independent Director, such
liability or loss shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to be held harmless is
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the assets of
the Stockholders.  The Company may not indemnify a Director, the Advisor or its
Affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one
or more of the following conditions are met:  (i) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the
request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") and the published opinions of the Tennessee
Securities Division and any other state securities regulatory authority in
which securities of the Company were offered and sold as to indemnification for
securities law violations.




                                     40


     The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification
hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any
legal action for which indemnification is being sought
only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:  (i) the legal action
relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or
services by the indemnified party for or on behalf of the Company; (ii) the
legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the
legal action is initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as
such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves advancement;
and (iii) the indemnified party receiving these advances undertakes to repay
the monies advanced to the Company, together with interest at the applicable
legal rate thereon, if the party is found not to be entitled to
indemnification.

     The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an
indemnified party against any liability asserted which was incurred in any such
capacity with the Company or arising out of such status; provided, however,
that the Company may not incur the costs of any liability insurance which
insures any person against liability for which he, she or it could not be
indemnified under the Articles or the Bylaws.  As of the date of this
Prospectus, the Company has not purchased any insurance on behalf of an
indemnified party.

     Neither the amendment nor the adoption of any other provision of the
Articles or the Bylaws will apply to or affect, in any respect, the
Indemnitee's right to indemnification for actions or failures to act which
occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.

     To the extent that the indemnification may apply to liabilities arising
under the Act, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore,
unenforceable.

DEFENSES AVAILABLE

     There are certain defenses which may be raised by the Directors, officers
or the Advisor under Maryland law and the Articles in the event of a
Stockholder action against them.  One such defense is the "business judgment
rule."  A Director, officer or the Advisor can, under the "business judgment
rule," argue that he or she performed the action giving rise to the
Stockholder's complaint in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and with such care as an
ordinarily prudent person in a like position would have used under similar
circumstances.  The Directors, officers and the Advisor are also entitled to
rely on information, opinions, reports or records prepared by experts including
accountants, consultants and counsel who were selected with reasonable care.
However, the Directors, officers and the Advisor may not invoke the "business
judgment rule" to further limit the rights of the Stockholders to access
records.  In the event a Stockholder challenges an amendment to the Articles
made by Directors without the Stockholders' approval, the Directors are
permitted to contend that the Articles permit amendments to the Articles absent
Stockholder vote in certain circumstances.  As described above, the Directors,
officers and the Advisor are also indemnified by the Company pursuant to the
Articles, subject to certain limitations.




                                     41

                PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY'S AFFILIATES


PRIOR INVESTMENT PROGRAMS


     The Inland organization, during the past ten years, has sponsored seven
public and 16 private real estate programs which have raised in excess in
$206,800,000. In excess of 17,100 investors have invested in these
Inland-sponsored programs.  The investment objectives and policies of the
Company are similar to those of several investment programs which have owned
and operated retail properties.  However, the vast majority of these
investment programs were dissimilar from the Company in that the partnerships
owned apartment properties or whole or partial interests in mortgage loans.

     The information in this Section and in the Prior Performance Tables
included in this Prospectus as Exhibit A shows relevant summary information
concerning real estate programs sponsored by the Advisor and its Affiliates,
the purpose of which is to provide information on the prior performance of
these programs so that potential investors may evaluate the experience of the
Advisor and its Affiliates in sponsoring such programs.  The following
discussion is intended to briefly summarize the objectives and performance of
prior programs and  to disclose any material adverse business developments
sustained by them.

SUMMARY INFORMATION

     The table below provides certain summarized information concerning prior
programs through the date of this Prospectus and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the foregoing introductory discussion and the detailed
information appearing in the Prior Performance Tables in this Prospectus.
Investors should not construe inclusion of the succeeding tables, which cover
the period from January 1, 1987 through December 31, 1996, as implying in any
manner that the Company will have results comparable to those reflected in the
tables; the yield and cash available and other factors could be substantially
different for the Company's properties.   Investors should note that by
acquiring Shares in the Company, they will not be acquiring any interests in
any prior programs.

PUBLICLY REGISTERED LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

     INLAND'S MONTHLY INCOME FUND, L.P. ("MONTHLY INCOME FUND I") -- The
offering period for Monthly Income Fund I began August 3, 1987 and ended August
3, 1988.  The objectives were to invest in improved residential, retail,
industrial and other income-producing properties on an all-cash basis to
provide monthly cash distributions of at least 8% per annum throughout the life
of the partnership and to provide a hedge against inflation through capital
appreciation.

     Monthly Income Fund I raised $30,000,000 from over 2,200 investors.
Originally, Monthly Income Fund I purchased seven properties, including five in
Illinois, one in Ohio and one in Oklahoma, for a total investment of
$27,511,692 which includes acquisition costs of $25,831,542 plus an additional
$1,487,500 expended for the upgrade of the McHenry Plaza, a neighborhood retail
center, in McHenry, Illinois, plus $192,650 for upgrade costs at other
properties. The properties owned by Inland Monthly Income Fund I include, in
addition to McHenry Plaza, two nursing centers, two retail stores leased on a
triple-net basis by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a health club facility and an
apartment complex, which was sold on an installment basis in 1994 and 1995.
Through March 31, 1997, cash distributions have been maintained at an 8% level
and on an accrual basis have totaled $385.67 per $500 unit or $21,877,436
including $18,859,641 from operating cash flow, $380,207 of net sales proceeds
from the sale of the apartment complex, $2,095,863 from supplemental capital
contributions from IREIC and $541,725 as a partial return of capital from
partnership reserves.   In  the  opinion  of IREIC, the partnership is
substantially meeting its investment objective for cash flow.

     Two of Monthly Income Fund I's properties, which represent 26.3% of its
total assets as measured by their  original purchase price, are nursing center
facilities which are 100% leased by  Elite Care Corporation ("Elite").  Monthly
Income Fund I's lease with  Elite  became effective in February 1991, following
the termination of a  lease with Adventist Living Centers Inc. ("ALC"), the
tenant which was in place when Monthly Income Fund I purchased the properties.
After ALC began experiencing financial difficulties, IREIC sought out Elite as
a replacement nursing home operator/tenant.  The net effect to Monthly Income
Fund I was a .5% decrease in the effective rent over the term of the leases for
the two nursing homes, from $67,270 per month when ALC was the tenant to
$66,936 from Elite. Under the terms of the lease agreements for the nursing
care facilities the partnership must approve any sublease transaction. The
current operator of these facilities has negotiated with a new operator to
sublease the facilities.  IREIC has reviewed and approved the transaction with
no significant changes to the terms of the leases.

     The major tenant at McHenry Plaza is a Walgreens drug store.  Other
tenants are Don Robert's Beauty  School, Northern Federal Savings Bank, Merit
Medical Equipment and Family Entertainment Center.   These tenants took
possession of their spaces at the center from 1990 through 1996, following the
July 1989 termination of a lease with Duckwell-Alco Stores, Inc. ("Alco"), the
tenant which leased 94% of the space in the center at the time Monthly Income
Fund I purchased the property. IREIC embarked on a program to re-lease the
center to new tenants, and secured a $1,700,000 line of credit for property
upgrades, remodeling and re-leasing expenses.  Annual principal and interest
payments on this debt total $187,943.  Approximately 80% of the property is
currently leased. Additional expenditures for build-out and leasing commissions
are anticipated as the remaining rentable space is leased.  The lease-up of
McHenry Plaza will increase the cash flow available for distribution by Monthly
Income Fund I.




                                     44





     The partnership successfully completed the conversion of the apartment
complex to condominiums. Condominium sales began during the first quarter of
1994. As of December 31, 1995, all of the 38 six-unit buildings at the property
had been sold.

     The defaults by ALC and Alco, the expense of upgrades and build-out at the
McHenry Plaza and lower than expected net rental income from the apartment
complex have reduced cash available for distribution by Monthly Income Fund I.
Under the terms of a guarantee agreement, IREIC has made supplementary capital
contributions totaling $2,095,863 from the inception of the program through
March 31, 1997 for the purpose of providing 8% annual cash distributions to
investors. These supplementary capital contributions will begin to be repaid
from cash flow in the future, but only if excess cash flow exists after payment
of an 8% annual distribution to investors.  The effect on investors is that cash
flow distributions will not exceed 8% per annum for the foreseeable future. In
addition, IREIC may be reimbursed for its supplementary capital contributions
from the sale or financing of properties, but only after investors have received
the return of their capital. The effect on investors is that profits from the
sale of the properties will be reduced by the amounts contributed by IREIC under
the 8% distribution guarantee agreement.

     INLAND MONTHLY INCOME FUND II, L.P. ("MONTHLY INCOME FUND II") -- The
offering period for Monthly Income Fund II began August 4, 1988 and ended
August 4, 1990. The objectives were to invest in improved residential, retail,
industrial and other income-producing properties on an all-cash basis to
provide monthly cash distributions of at least 8% per annum through the first
five years of the partnership and to provide a hedge against inflation through
capital appreciation.

     Monthly Income Fund II raised $25,323,569 from more than 2,100 investors
and purchased five properties, a net-leased Wholesale Club retail property in
Indiana, a net-leased health club in Ohio, a net-leased nursing center in
Illinois, a net-leased retail store in Arizona and the Euro-Fresh Market Plaza
(formerly Eagle Plaza), a neighborhood retail center in Illinois, for a total
acquisition cost of $21,224,542. Through March 31, 1997, cash distributions
have been maintained at or above an 8% level and on an accrual basis have
totaled $391.58 per $500 unit or $18,390,582, including $13,995,017 from
operations and an additional $4,395,565 which constitutes the net proceeds from
the sale of the Wholesale Club.

     One of Monthly Income Fund II's properties, which represents 35.44% of its
total assets, as measured by its original purchase price, is a nursing center
which is 100% leased to Elite.  Monthly Income Fund II's lease with Elite
became effective in February 1991, following the termination of a lease with
ALC, the tenant which was in place when Monthly Income Fund II purchased the
property. After ALC began experiencing financial difficulties, IREIC sought out
Elite as a replacement nursing home operator/tenant.  The net effect to Monthly
Income Fund II was an 8% decrease in the effective rent from the nursing center
over the term of the lease, from $77,368 per month when ALC was the tenant to
$71,895 from Elite.  Under the terms of the lease agreement for the nursing
center the partnership must approve any sublease transaction. The current
operator of this facility has negotiated with a new operator to sublease the
facility. IREIC has reviewed and approved the transaction with no significant
changes to the terms of the lease.

     On January 8, 1991, Monthly Income Fund II sold its Wholesale Club
property in Indiana for $4,400,000.  Net sales proceeds of $4,395,565 were
distributed to investors on February 1, 1991.  The property was purchased by
Monthly Income Fund II in December 1988 for $3,427,278, which included
acquisition fees of $275,013 and acquisition costs of $9,265. The gain on sale
for financial reporting purposes was $847,467, which is net of selling expenses
and commissions.






                                     45


     On January 21, 1994, the anchor tenant at Eagle Plaza neighborhood retail
center, Eagle Foods, closed its store.  On February 4, 1994 and with the
approval of IREIC, Eagle Foods assigned its lease to Certified Grocers Midwest,
Inc. ("Certified") who vacated in August 1995.  During May 1996, Euro-Fresh
Market ("Euro-Fresh") began its occupancy if the anchor store and the shopping
center has been renamed Euro-Fresh Market Plaza. Under the original lease, as
well as the assignment of the lease, Eagle Foods has guaranteed payments until
November 1998.

     In the opinion of IREIC, the partnership is meeting its investment
objective to provide a minimum 8% cash distribution and has, through an early
and profitable sale of the Wholesale Club, achieved capital appreciation on 16%
of the partnership's investment in properties.

     INLAND REAL ESTATE GROWTH FUND, L.P. ("GROWTH FUND I") -- The offering
period for Growth Fund I began December 9, 1985 and ended August 9, 1987. The
objectives were to invest in  multi-family residential properties on a
moderately leveraged basis for capital appreciation through increases in
property values, tax-sheltered quarterly cash distributions and the build-up of
equity through reduction of mortgage indebtedness.

     Growth Fund I raised $9,465,000 from more than 700 investors and purchased
four properties which included one multi-family residential property in Arizona
and a partial interest in another multi-family residential property in
Illinois. The other two properties were repurchased from Growth Fund I by
IREIC. The terms of these repurchase transactions placed Growth Fund I in the
same cash position it would have been in had the properties never been
acquired. Growth Fund I sold the multi-family residential property located in
Illinois as condominium units to individual purchasers for $6,685,950. Of the
total net sales proceeds of $6,455,375, $1,650,000 was used to pay off the
underlying debt on the property, $1,715,198 was distributed to limited partners
during 1994, $1,832,785 was used to pay down the debt on the partnership's
Arizona property and the remainder was used to fund condominium conversion
costs. The property was purchased by Growth Fund I in December 1985 for
$3,836,416, which included acquisition fees of $483,500. The gain on sale for
financial reporting purposes was $2,236,220, which is net of selling expenses
and commissions. Cash distributions to limited partners through March 31, 1997
totaled $529.22 per $1,000 unit or $4,711,954, including $1,476,241 from
operations, $1,724,843 from the sale or refinancing of the partnership's
properties, $943,224 from the repurchase of partnership properties by IREIC and
$567,646 partial return of capital from partnership reserves. The monthly
principal and interest payments on the Arizona property were reduced from
$27,819 to $12,314 as a result of refinancing the Arizona property in March
1994 and the debt reduction described above.

     In IREIC's opinion, the Arizona real estate market has been improving over
the last two years, and a sale of the Arizona property will be evaluated on an
ongoing basis with the intent to profitably conclude the partnership. The
decline in the Arizona market from 1989 through 1992 reduced net operating
income from that property and, therefore, the quarterly cash distributions
which might otherwise have been received by limited partners during that
period. Similarly, the decline of the Arizona market has extended the holding
period for that property. If and when the Arizona property can be sold at a
profit, the annual rate of capital appreciation realized by investors will be
less than if the Arizona market had not declined.

     As of January 1, 1997, the partnership has listed and is actively
marketing Scottsdale Sierra Apartments for sale at an amount in excess of its
carrying value and has suspended depreciation.  As of the date of this report,
the partnership has received and is currently negotiating an offer for the
purchase of Scottsdale Sierra Apartments for an amount which exceeds the
carrying value of the property.




                                     46




     INLAND REAL ESTATE GROWTH FUND II, L.P. ("GROWTH FUND II") -- The offering
period for Growth Fund II began September 21, 1987 and ended September 21,
1989.  The objectives were to invest in improved residential, retail,
industrial and other income-producing properties on a moderately leveraged
basis for capital appreciation through increases in property values, tax-
sheltered quarterly cash distributions and the build-up of equity through
reduction of mortgage indebtedness.

     Growth Fund II raised $4,038,250 from 336 investors and purchased two
properties, a multi-family residential property in Illinois and a health club
in Ohio. These properties were purchased for a total acquisition cost of
$5,615,826. The health club is currently approximately 60% financed with 40%
equity. Cash distributions to limited partners through March 31, 1997 totaled
$1,146.04 per $1,000 unit or $4,551,628, including $894,857 from operations and
$3,656,771 return of capital from the sale of the multi-family property in
Illinois as 18 individual six-unit apartment buildings. All 18 of the six-unit
buildings were sold to third-party buyers on an installment basis for $245,334
to $250,000 per building or a total of $4,261,895 (net of selling expenses).
Growth Fund II's cost basis in the buildings was $4,112,195. The partnership
extended financing to buyers to allow buyers to make monthly interest payments
to Growth Fund II for a period of not more than seven to ten years, at which
time the balance of the purchase price would be due. However, as of December
31, 1995, 13 of the installment sale loans had been prepaid in full and five
had been substantially pre-paid (the partnership continues to be owed $80,000
on these loans, secured by second mortgages). In the opinion of IREIC, the sale
of the multi-family property as individual six-unit apartment buildings has
resulted in modest capital appreciation within a short holding period. IREIC is
evaluating strategies to sell the partnership's remaining assets and bring the
partnership to a profitable conclusion.

     INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND, L.P. ("LAND FUND I") -- The offering period
for Land Fund I began October 12, 1988 and ended October 6, 1989. The
objectives were to invest in pre-development land on an all-cash basis and
realize appreciation of such land upon resale.

     Land Fund I raised $30,001,000 from 3,425 investors and purchased 25 land
parcels, all in suburban counties surrounding Chicago, Illinois, for an
aggregate purchase price of $25,187,069. As of March 31, 1997, Land Fund I has
had multiple sales transactions involving all or portions of 13 parcels which
generated $6,177,137 in net sales proceeds.  Land Fund I's cost basis in the
land parcels sold was $3,318,400 resulting in a gain, net of selling expenses
and commissions, of $2,858,737 for financial reporting purposes. In the opinion
of IREIC, the partnership is currently meeting its investment objectives and
has, through completed sales transactions, realized significant capital
appreciation on the assets sold.  Cash distributions to limited partners
through March 31, 1997 totaled $4,146,515, all from the sale of land parcels.

     INLAND LAND APPRECIATION FUND II, L.P. ("LAND FUND II") -- The offering
period for Land Fund II began October 25, 1989 and ended October 24, 1991. The
objectives were to invest in pre-development land on an all-cash basis and
realize appreciation of such land upon resale.

     Land Fund II raised $50,476,170 from 5,055 investors and purchased 27 land
parcels and two buildings, all in suburban counties surrounding Chicago,
Illinois, for an aggregate purchase price of $41,314,301. As of March 31, 1997,
Land Fund II has had multiple sales transactions involving all or portions of
nine parcels which generated $10,883,302 in net sales proceeds. Land Fund II's
cost basis in the land parcels sold was $6,760,384 resulting in a gain, net of
selling expenses and commissions, of $4,122,918 for financial reporting
purposes. In the opinion of IREIC, the partnership is currently meeting its
investment objectives  and  has,  through completed sales transactions,
realized significant capital 



                                     47



appreciation on the assets sold. Cash distributions to limited partners through
March 31, 1997 totaled $2,837,059, including $2,116,059 from sales and $721,000
from operations. 

     INLAND CAPITAL FUND, L.P. ("LAND FUND III") -- The offering period for
Land Fund III began December 13, 1991 and ended August 23, 1993. The objectives
were to invest in pre-development land on an all-cash basis and realize
appreciation of such land upon resale.

     Land Fund III raised $32,399,282 from 2,683 investors and purchased 18
land parcels, one of which included a house and several outbuildings, for an
aggregate purchase price of $25,945,989. Land Fund III has completed two sales
transactions, involving the house and portions of two parcels which generated
$646,334 in net sales proceeds. Land Fund III's cost basis in the land parcels
sold was $417,551 resulting in a gain, net of selling expenses and commissions,
of $228,783 for financial reporting purposes.  In the opinion of IREIC, the
partnership is currently meeting its investment objectives and has, through
completed sales transactions, realized significant capital appreciation on the
assets sold. Cash distributions to limited partners through March 31, 1997
totaled $646,629, all from the sale of land parcels.

PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

     Since inception, Affiliates of the Advisor have sponsored 514 private
placement limited partnerships which have raised more than $524,201,000 from
approximately 17,000 investors and invested in properties for an aggregate
price of more than $1 billion in cash and notes.  Of the 522 properties
purchased, 93% have been in Illinois.  Approximately 90% of the funds were
invested in apartment buildings, 6% in shopping centers, 2% in office buildings
and 2% in other properties.  Including sales to Affiliates, 281 partnerships
have sold their original property investments. Officers and employees of IREIC
and its Affiliates invested more than $17,000,000 in these partnerships.

     From 1990 and through the end of the first quarter of 1997, investors in
Inland's private partnerships have received total distributions in excess of
$113,507,500, consisting of cash flow from partnership operations, sales and
refinancing proceeds and cash received during the course of property exchanges.
Following a proposal by Inland Real Estate Corporation, the former corporate
general partner, investors in 301 private partnerships voted in 1990 to make
IREIC the corporate general partner for those partnerships.

     Beginning in December 1993 and continuing into the first quarter of 1994,
investors in 101 private limited partnerships for which IREIC is the general
partner received letters from IREIC informing them of the possible opportunity
to sell the 66 apartment properties owned by those partnerships to a to-be-
formed REIT (the "Apartment REIT") in which Affiliates of IREIC would receive
stock and cash and the limited partners would receive cash. In connection
therewith, the underwriters for the Apartment REIT subsequently advised IREIC
to sell to a third party its management and general partner's interests in
those remaining limited partnerships not selling their apartment properties to
the Apartment REIT (approximately  30%  of the Inland-sponsored limited
partnerships owning apartment buildings).  The prospective third- party buyers
of IREIC's interests in the remaining partnerships, however, would make no
assurance to support those partnerships financially.  As a result, in a letter
from IREIC dated March 30, 1994, investors were informed of IREIC's decision
not to go forward with the formation of the Apartment REIT. Following this
decision, two investors filed a complaint on April 19, 1994 in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Chancery Division, purportedly on behalf of a class of
other unnamed investors, alleging that IREIC had breached its fiduciary
responsibility to those investors whose partnerships would have sold apartment
properties to the Apartment REIT.  The complaint sought an accounting of



                                     48


information regarding the Apartment REIT matter, an unspecified amount of
damages and the removal of IREIC as general partner of the partnerships that
would have participated in the sale of properties to the Apartment REIT. On
August 1, 1994, Judge Thomas O'Brien granted IREIC's motion to dismiss, finding
that plaintiffs lacked standing to bring this case individually. Plaintiffs
were granted leave to file an amended complaint within 28 days. On August 29,
1994, six investors filed an amended complaint, purportedly on behalf of a
class of other investors, and  derivatively  on behalf of six limited
partnerships of which IREIC is the general partner. The derivative counts seek
damages from IREIC for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract,
and assert a right to an accounting.  IREIC filed a motion to dismiss in
response to the amended complaint.  The suit was dismissed on March 31, 1995
with prejudice, and the plaintiffs were given until May 1, 1996 to file an
appeal. An appeal was filed on April 25, 1996 and the parties briefed the
issue. Arguments were heard by the Appellate Court in February 1997, but a
decision has not yet been reached by the court regarding this appeal.


PRIVATE PLACEMENT REAL ESTATE EQUITY PROGRAM

     WISCONSIN CAPITAL LAND FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, was
formed in October 1992. The objectives were to invest in pre-development land
in the Madison, Wisconsin area on an all-cash basis and realize appreciation of
such land upon resale. The offering period for units in this privately offered
partnership began October 1992 and ended June 14, 1993 with the maximum amount,
$2,275,000, raised. Seven parcels of land in the Madison, Wisconsin, area were
purchased with the proceeds of the offering. Limited partners will receive cash
distributions as land parcels are sold.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT MORTGAGE AND NOTE PROGRAMS

     During 1992 and in 1993, IREIC or its Affiliates sponsored nine private
placement securities offerings, including seven mortgage and note programs,
which are described below.

     TRIPLE SECURITY FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, was formed in
May 1992.  The principal investment objectives of the partnership were to
invest in participations in third-party mortgage loans owned by an Affiliate of
IREIC and thereby return investors' capital within five years, and to provide a
10% annual return on invested capital during the life of the partnership. The
return of capital and the 10% annual return were guaranteed by IREIC. The
offering period for interests in this privately offered partnership began in
May 1992 and ended in June 1992 with the maximum amount of $3,000,000 raised.
All of the offering proceeds were used to invest in participations in 14
wraparound mortgage loans and first mortgage loans, secured by condominium,
multi-family residential and commercial properties located in the Chicago
metropolitan area.  Limited partners received their first monthly cash
distribution on July 17, 1992.  Cash distributions to limited partners through
September 30, 1996 totaled $4,294,216, including $1,226,419 from operations and
subsidy income of $67,797 from IREIC, pursuant to the guarantee for that
program. $3,000,000 was a return of capital resulting from a payoff by the
Affiliate. This partnership was liquidated in 1996.

     10% INCOME FUND,  L.P.,  an  Illinois limited partnership offering
investments in promissory notes, was formed in May 1992. The offering period
for the purchase of notes began in May 1992 and ended June 1992 with the
maximum amount of $2,000,000 raised. Notes with a term of five years and
providing a 10% annual return for the first four years and 10.5% in the fifth
year were issued by the partnership.  The return of capital to noteholders and
the specified annual returns are guaranteed by IREIC. 10% Income Fund, L.P.
invested in loans made to an Affiliate of IREIC, which were secured by
collateral assignments of third-party mortgage loans owned by the Affiliate.
Noteholders received their 



                                     49


first monthly interest distribution on July 17, 1992. Cash distributions to
noteholders through November 30, 1996 totaled $2,878,335 of which $861,051 was
interest earnings and $17,284 was from working capital reserves. $2,000,000 was
a return of capital resulting from a payoff by the Affiliate. This partnership
was liquidated in 1996. 

     9% INCOME JUNIOR MORTGAGE FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, was
formed in July 1992.  The principal investment objectives of the partnership
were to invest in third-party junior mortgage loans owned by an Affiliate of
the Advisor and thereby return investors' capital within six years, and to
provide a 9% annual return on invested capital during the life of the
partnership. The return of capital and the 9% annual return were guaranteed by
IREIC. The offering period for interests in this privately offered partnership
began in July 1992 and ended September 1992 with the maximum amount of
$1,000,000 raised. All of the offering proceeds were used to invest in third-
party junior mortgage loans owned by the Affiliate, secured by condominium,
multi-family residential and commercial properties located in the Chicago
metropolitan area.  Limited partners received their first monthly cash
distribution on September 17, 1992.  Cash distributions through March 31, 1997
totaled $489,764, of which $386,145 was interest earnings, $103,561 was a
return of capital resulting from the amortization of mortgage loans and $9,893
was a loan from IREIC, pursuant to the distribution guarantee for that program.


     INLAND EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership
offering investments in promissory notes, was formed in December 1992. The
offering period for the purchase of Notes began in December 1992 and ended in
February 1993 with the maximum amount of  $400,000 raised. Notes were offered
only to Illinois residents who are employees of IREIC and its Affiliates. Notes
with a term of four years and providing 10% annual interest were issued by the
partnership. The return of capital to noteholders and the specified annual
return are guaranteed by IREIC. Inland Employee Appreciation Fund, L.P.
invested in a loan made to an Affiliate of IREIC, which was secured by
collateral assignments of third-party investor loans owned by the Affiliate.
Noteholders received their first monthly interest distribution on March 17,
1993. Cash distributions through May 31, 1996 totaled $502,198, of which
$99,769 was interest earnings and $2,429 was subsidy income from IREIC,
pursuant to the guarantee for that program.  The balance of $400,000 was a
return of capital. This partnership was liquidated in 1996.

     In February 1993, IREIC sponsored 9% MONTHLY CASH FUND, L.P., an Illinois
limited partnership offering investments in promissory notes to accredited
investors. The offering period for this program began February 1, 1993 and
ended on May 17, 1993 when the maximum amount of $4,000,000 raised. Notes
maturing August 1, 1999 and providing a 9% annual return were issued by the
partnership. 9% Monthly Cash Fund, L.P. invested in loans made to an Affiliate
of IREIC secured by collateral assignments of third party mortgage loans owned
by the Affiliate.  The return of capital to noteholders and the 9% annual
return are guaranteed by IREIC.  Cash distributions through March 31, 1997
totaled $1,347,915, of which $1,343,605 was interest earnings and $4,310 was
from working capital reserves.

     In April 1993, IREIC sponsored 9% MONTHLY CASH FUND II, L.P., an Illinois
limited partnership offering investments in promissory notes to accredited
investors, with investment objectives identical to those of 9% Monthly Cash
Fund, L.P. The offering period for this program began April 5, 1993 and ended
July 23, 1993, with the maximum amount of $4,000,000 raised. Notes maturing
February 1, 2000 and providing a 9% annual return were issued by the
partnership. 9% Monthly Cash Fund II, L.P. has invested in a loan made to an
Affiliate of IREIC, secured by collateral assignments of third-party mortgage
loans owned by the Affiliate. The return of capital to noteholders and the 9%
annual return are guaranteed by IREIC. Cash distributions through March 31,
1997 totaled $1,286,137, of which $1,282,944 was interest earnings and $3,193
was from working capital reserves.



                                     50


     In July 1993, Inland Mortgage Corporation, an Illinois corporation and an
Affiliate of IREIC ("IMC"), sponsored IMC NOTE ISSUE #2 1993, offering
investments in promissory notes.  The offering period for this program began
August 25, 1993 and closed on June 13, 1994 after raising $6,800,000. Notes
maturing December 31, 2003 with 8% per annum interest and 100% return of
principal guaranteed by IREIC were issued by IMC.  Proceeds of the offering
have been used to invest in a mortgage loan secured by an apartment property in
Manchester, New Hampshire, owned by an Affiliate of IREIC. Investors may also
receive additional interest, dependent on the future sale of the property. An
initial distribution to investors of escrow interest, totaling $13,685, was
made November 17, 1993.  Cash distributions through March 31, 1997 totaled
$1,733,121, of which $1,713,665 was interest earnings and $19,456 was subsidy
income from IREIC pursuant to the guarantee for that program.

     In December 1993, IREIC sponsored INLAND CONDOMINIUM FINANCING FUND, L.P.,
an Illinois limited partnership offering investment in promissory notes. The
offering period for this program began December 15, 1993 and closed on June 30,
1994. This partnership offered notes in the principal amount of $1,031,000
maturing July 1, 2001 with 10% per annum interest and 100% return of principal
guaranteed by IREIC.  The proceeds of the offering have been used to make
unsecured loans to limited partnerships which are Affiliates of IREIC, for the
purposes of paying expenses relating to the conversion of apartment properties
owned by those partnerships to condominiums, and conducting condominium unit
sales and other partnership expenses.  Cash distributions began on March 17,
1994. Distributions through March 31, 1997 totaled $306,539, all of which were
interest earnings.

     An August 1988 private placement securities offering sponsored by an
Affiliate of IREIC was INLAND JUNIOR MORTGAGE FUND, L.P., an Illinois limited
partnership. The offering period for this program ended May 1989 with $410,000
raised. All of the proceeds available for investment were used to purchase 82
second mortgages owned by Inland Mortgage Investment Corporation ("IMIC"),
secured predominantly by condominium units located in the Chicago metropolitan
area. In February 1996, 20 limited partners exercised their put option and IMIC
bought their interests. Cash distributions through January 28, 1997 have
totaled $541,156, including $131,156 from interest earnings and $410,000 return
of capital from loan repayments.  All capital has been returned and the
partnership will be liquidated in 1997.

LOAN MODIFICATIONS AND WORK-OUTS

     Between 1990 and December 31, 1996, 40 Inland-sponsored partnerships
owning 27 properties ceased making debt service payments to unaffiliated
lenders which held the underlying financing on the properties. These actions
were taken with the objective of reducing or restructuring the debt to levels
commensurate with the levels of performance of the operating properties. In the
case of six of these partnerships, namely 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership, 1445
North State  Parkway  Limited  Partnership,  5600 Sheridan Limited Partnership,
5630 Sheridan  Limited  Partnership,  6030 Sheridan Limited Partnership and Oak
Brook Commons Limited Partnership, the original asset of each of these
partnerships was transferred to a new partnership which was 100% owned by the
old partnership.  IREIC believed that the new partnerships were better
positioned to accomplish a work-out with the lender. In connection with the
transfers of three of these properties to the new partnerships discussed above,
the lender holding the first mortgages on these properties filed a separate
proceeding against the general partner and its Affiliates, claiming contractual
interference and other allegations.  This complaint was withdrawn as part of a
final settlement reached with the lender in February 1993.

     Each of these new partnerships filed for financial reorganization in
federal court. In addition, 1036 N. Dearborn Limited Partnership also filed for
financial reorganization in federal court.  All of these 





                                     51


filings for reorganization were an extension of negotiations with the lenders,
with the objective of reducing or restructuring the debt on the properties
owned by the partnerships. In the case of the filing for reorganization by each
of the new partnerships owned by 1445 North State Parkway Limited Partnership,
5600 Sheridan Limited Partnership and 5630 Sheridan Limited Partnership, the
reorganization proceedings were dismissed after each lender approved a tax-
deferred exchange transaction between the new partnership and an unaffiliated
third party.  The general partner of the 1036 North Dearborn Limited
Partnership was able to purchase the debt encumbering that property at a
discount from the lender and the filing for reorganization of that partnership
was dismissed. The 1036 North Dearborn property was subsequently refinanced
with a third-party lender and then sold to a third party. The new partnerships
owned by the 14 W. Elm, 6030 Sheridan and Oak Brook Commons Limited
Partnerships participated with the general partner and its affiliates and with
16 other affiliated limited partnerships, all of whose properties were subject
to first-mortgage loans from the same third-party lender, in a settlement
agreement with that lender. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the 16
other affiliated limited partnerships- -none of which were in default on their
mortgage loans--provided additional security to the lender with respect to each
of their loans by transferring administration of property tax escrow accounts
to the lender. The transfer of the escrow accounts had no financial impact on
the 16 partnerships. Five of the 16 other partnerships also obtained favorable
loan modifications from the lender.  In the case of the new partnership owned
by the 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership, the lender cooperated in a tax-deferred
exchange of the partnership's real estate asset. The partnership assigned its
interest in its property, subject to the existing indebtedness, to an
unaffiliated third party in exchange for an assignment of the unaffiliated
third party's interest in another property, subject to indebtedness in a
principal amount similar to that on the 14 W. Elm property. This transaction
was accomplished with the objective of avoiding the creation of any current
income tax liability to the partnership or its limited partners. As a result of
this tax-deferred exchange, the 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership owns a net-lease
commercial property secured by a long- term lease with a creditworthy tenant.
The debt service on the indebtedness used to acquire the exchange property is
in the form of fully amortizing payments over the term of the store lease, with
the net-lease payments received from the tenant equal to the required debt
service payments. The possibility of cash flow distributions to the limited
partners is, therefore, precluded. However, the expectation exists for equity
accumulation through the amortization of the loan and, therefore, a
distribution to the limited partners upon the disposition of the exchange
property. IREIC believes that the limited partners of the 14 W. Elm Limited
Partnership are in a better position to realize a return of their capital
investment through the ultimate disposition of the exchange property. In the
case of the new partnership owned by the Oak Brook Commons Limited Partnership,
the lender acquired the property through foreclosure and the general partner
has supplied the Oak Brook Commons Limited Partnership with a new property, an
ownership interest in a retail store in Marshall, Minnesota, leased on a
triple-net basis by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. In the case of the new partnership
owned by the 6030 Sheridan Limited Partnership, the lender agreed to permit a
tax-deferred exchange of the partnership's property, similar to that completed
by the 14 W. Elm Limited Partnership and subsequently the lender sold its
mortgage to an unaffiliated party who then acquired the property. The new
partnership acquired a replacement property similar to that acquired by the 14
W. Elm Limited Partnership, which property was then conveyed to the 6030
Sheridan Limited Partnership.

     Of the original partnerships discussed above, Mr. Daniel L. Goodwin, a
Director of IREIC, served as individual general partner of all but the Oak
Brook Commons Limited Partnership, in which Mr. G. Joseph Cosenza, a Director
of IREIC and the Company, served as individual general partner. Prior to the
filing for reorganization, and as part of the strategy thereof, Mr. Cosenza
relinquished his position as individual general partner of the Oak Brook
Commons Limited Partnership and Mr. Goodwin did the same for all except the
1036 N. Dearborn Limited Partnership, for which he continues to serve as
individual 



                                     52


general partner.  These actions were taken upon the advice of counsel to reduce
the chances of delay in the reorganization efforts. The corporate general
partner of each partnership has elected to continue the business of each of the
partnerships in which the individual general partner relinquished his position.

     Four of the 40 Inland-sponsored partnerships described in the first
paragraph of this section owned four adjacent office buildings in Park Ridge,
Illinois. These four operating partnerships were, in turn, owned by 21 other
Inland-sponsored partnerships which had sold their original real estate assets
and reinvested a portion of the proceeds from those sales in ownership units in
the four operating partnerships. During 1991, the lenders which held the first
mortgages encumbering the four office buildings acquired the deeds to the
properties in lieu of foreclosure.  The four operating partnerships were
subsequently liquidated. The general partner of the 21 partnerships which had
owned the four operating partnerships arranged for the transfer to each of the
21 partnerships of certain ownership interests in five net-lease commercial
properties having long-term leases with creditworthy tenants. The debt service
on the indebtedness used to acquire the commercial properties consists of
principal and interest payments which fully amortize the indebtedness over the
term of the store leases, with the net-lease payments received from the tenants
equal to the required debt service payments.  The possibility of cash flow
distributions to the limited partners in the 21 partnerships is, therefore,
precluded. However, the expectation exists for equity accumulation through the
amortization of the loan and, therefore, a future distribution to the limited
partners upon the disposition of  the  commercial properties.  The 21
partnerships experienced minimal adverse tax consequences from the liquidation
of the four operating partnerships and their receipt of the ownership interests
in the commercial properties. IREIC believes that the limited partners of the
21 partnerships are now positioned to realize a return of their capital
investment through the ultimate disposition of the commercial properties.

     In the case of the 900 DeWitt and the Hoffman Ridge Limited Partnerships,
 two of the 40 limited partnerships mentioned in the first paragraph of this
section, tax-deferred  exchanges  of  the  partnerships' properties were
accomplished, in the same manner as described above. The partnerships acquired
net-lease commercial properties. Subsequent to the exchanges, the 900 DeWitt
and Hoffman Ridge properties were acquired by the first-mortgage lenders whose
loans were secured by those properties.

     In the case of the Park Colony Limited Partnership, one of the 40 limited
partnerships mentioned in the first paragraph of this section, the partnership
defaulted on a loan secured by a second mortgage against the Park Colony
property.  The lender which owned the second-mortgage loan purchased the
position of the lender which had funded the first mortgage loan secured by the
property. The lender then sold the debt, at a substantial discount, to an
Affiliate of the general partner of Park Colony Limited Partnership, and all
legal actions associated with the loan default were dismissed. The partnership
then refinanced the debt at the lower principal amount, retiring the debt owned
by the Affiliate. IREIC believes that this debt reduction is of significant
benefit to the partnership, which is now better positioned to realize its
investment objectives.

     In 1990, the New England Limited Partnership, acting as nominee for 14
Florida limited partnerships which own  the Sunset Ridge Apartments in
Manchester, New Hampshire, ceased making payments on the bond financing for
that property, which bonds were issued by the New Hampshire Housing Finance
Authority. In August 1993, an Affiliate of the general partner for those
partnerships purchased the bonds and the interests of two savings and loan
associations which had acted as bond credit-enhancers, at a substantial
discount. The partnerships which own the property obtained refinancing funds to
pay off the bonds and the amounts due to the Affiliate under the credit-
enhancement instruments for approximately the discounted price paid by the
Affiliate.





                                     53




     In April 1993, the West Haven Limited Partnership ceased making payments
on the first mortgage loan for that partnership's property.  The general
partner attempted to negotiate with the lender to modify the terms of the loan
to a level commensurate with the operating performance of the West Haven
property, but no agreement was  reached.  A tax-deferred exchange was
accomplished and the partnership acquired an interest in a net-lease commercial
property. The West Haven property was subsequently acquired by the lender whose
loan was secured by a first mortgage against the property.

     In the case of the other partnerships referred to in the first paragraph
of this section, subsequent to the acquisition of net- leased commercial
properties via tax-deferred exchanges, the Townsgate, Riverdale, Northwoods and
Bridgeview properties were acquired by the first-mortgage lenders whose loans
were secured by the properties.  The Covington Associates and Westbrooke
Limited Partnerships' tax-deferred exchange  property, Townsgate II, was
acquired by the first mortgage lender and the two partnerships acquired net-
lease commercial properties via second tax-deferred exchanges. In the case of
the Bensenville Industrial Limited Partnership, subsequent to the acquisition
of a replacement net- lease commercial property, the Bensenville property was
acquired by the first-mortgage lender whose loan was secured by the property.

     In addition to the above-described developments, the corporate general
partner of the Walton Place Limited Partnership and the Barrington Lakes
Limited Partnership settled litigation with the lenders for the properties
which resulted in the transfer of the properties and an agreement to make cash
settlements by the partnerships to the lenders.  In each case, the litigation
resulted after the partnership ceased making debt service payments in an effort
to bring about a renegotiation of the terms of the financing. The lenders
agreed to permit a tax-deferred exchange of the partnerships' respective
properties. 

     In January 1995, the Timberlake Limited Partnership ceased making payments
on the first mortgage loan for that partnership's property. IREIC attempted to
negotiate with the lender to modify the terms of the loan to a level
commensurate with the operating performance of the Timberlake property, but no
agreement was reached.  During August 1996, IREIC initiated a tax-deferred
exchange whereby the partnership acquired an interest in a net-lease commercial
property prior to the Timberlake property being acquired by the lender whose
loan is secured by a first mortgage against the property.

     In October 1996, two limited partnerships owning contiguous apartment
buildings in south suburban Chicago ceased making payments on their respective
HUD-insured first mortgage loans. The Chateaux Versailles and Marsailles
Limited Partnerships, through their General Partner, are attempting to
negotiate with the lenders to modify the terms of the loans to levels
commensurate with the operating performance of the properties.  To date, no
agreement has been reached.

EFFECTS OF PROPERTY EXCHANGES ON INVESTORS

     The Inland organization has used a strategy of tax-deferred property
exchanges to mitigate the adverse effects of 1986 tax law changes and the
weakening of apartment markets in the late 1980s on Inland's tax-shelter
private partnerships and investors in those partnerships. The loss of deficit-
producing properties to foreclosure would otherwise have resulted in the loss
of investors' capital, as well as substantial income tax liability for those
investors.  Through  the  exchange  program, deficit-producing apartment
properties have been disposed of, net-leased retail properties have been
acquired, and most tax liability continues to be deferred. Gradually, through
the amortization of debt secured by the new, net-leased properties owned by
these partnerships, the partnerships and their investors are rebuilding equity
which may be realized upon the future sale or refinancing of these properties.
One of the primary 



                                     54

investment objectives of these tax-shelter partnerships--the deferral of tax
liability, continues to be met to a significant degree. However, no cash flow
is being received by the investors in these partnerships. In addition, the
tax-deferred exchanges have extended the expected term of these tax-shelter
partnerships. If and when the net-leased properties are sold or refinanced,
there is no assurance that investors will realize any profit or a complete
return of capital.  Because the duration of these partnerships has been
extended, when the net-leased properties are sold or refinanced, the annual
rate of appreciation realized by investors, if any, will be less than if the
tax law had not been changed and apartment markets had not declined in the late
1980s. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

     Through March 31, 1997, eighteen private partnerships sponsored by
Affiliates of the Advisor which sold properties on an installment basis
re-acquired their properties as a result of defaults by the purchasers.
Thirteen of the properties that were re-acquired were subsequently sold.  One
property was returned to the lender and the remaining properties are being
operated by the partnerships.

     Through March 31, 1997, seven private partnerships sponsored by Affiliates
of the Advisor have agreed to modifications of the original terms of the
installment receivables.  The impact of these modifications on the installment
receivables includes reductions in net interest income during the first year or
two following a modification (and corresponding decreases in distributions to
limited partners during that period) and increases in interest income
thereafter (and corresponding increases in distributions), as well as the
deferral of some interest until maturity and, in the case of two partnerships,
the extension of a maturity date. The decreases in distributions to limited
partners range from 25% to 50% of the originally scheduled distributions for
the initial one- or two-year period of the modifications followed by similar
increases over the originally scheduled distributions for the year or two
following the modifications.  Any interest deferred until maturity would result
in a lower-than-originally-scheduled distribution until the maturity date, when
such deferred amounts would be received from the borrowers. The distribution to
investors of the principal proceeds due upon maturity would also be received at
a later date, i.e., one to two years later, due to a negotiated extension of
the original maturity date. 

     During 1988, one private partnership sponsored by an Affiliate of IREIC
transferred its property to the municipality in which it was located pursuant
to an involuntary conversion proceeding. On March 1, 1989, the proceeds of the
conversion were reinvested in a new property, a transaction intended to qualify
as tax-deferred under the Code.

     Except for re-acquisitions of previously owned properties upon default by
the purchaser, the transfer of a defaulted loan, the tax-deferred property
exchanges and the disputes with lenders described herein, there have been no
further major adverse business developments or conditions experienced by these
prior partnerships which would be material to investors in the Company.

     Upon written request to the Company, any potential investor may obtain,
without charge, the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Commission by any public program sponsored by Affiliates which has reported to
the Commission within the last 24 months.  Copies of any exhibits to such
Annual Reports shall be provided, upon request, for a reasonable fee.

                                  MANAGEMENT

GENERAL


     The Company operates under the direction of the Board of Directors that is
responsible for the overall management and control of the Company's affairs.
However, the Board of Directors has retained the Advisor to manage the
Company's day-to-day affairs, subject to the Board's supervision.

     Investment policies of the Company, as well as fees and expenses of the
Company, have been established by the Directors and are reviewed and approved
by the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) with
sufficient frequency (but not less than annually) to ensure that the policies
being followed are in the best interest of the Stockholders.  All Directors are
responsible, as a result of their fiduciary duties, for determining the
reasonableness of the Company's total fees and expenses in light of the
Company's investment experience and the fees and expenses of companies
performing comparable services.  Each determination, along with the supporting
rationale, is set forth in the minutes of the meetings of the Board.

     The Independent Directors are required to determine, from time to time,
but not less than annually, that the compensation paid by the Company to the
Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services
performed and within the limits prescribed by applicable state regulatory
authorities.  The Independent Directors are also required to supervise the
Advisor's performance and the compensation paid to it by the Company to
determine that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are being carried out.
Each such determination must be based on at least the factors set forth below
and other factors that the Independent Directors may deem relevant.  The
findings of the Independent Directors on each such factor must be recorded in
the minutes of the Board.  These factors include:  (i) the size of the Advisory
Fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of the portfolio of
the Company; (ii) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that
meet the investment objectives of the Company; (iii) the rates charged to other
REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing similar
services; (iv) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and any Affiliate
through their relationship with the Company, including loan administration,
underwriting or brokerage commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and
other fees, whether paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does
business; (v) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the
Advisor; (vi) the performance of the investment portfolio of the Company,
including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem
investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (vii) the
quality of the portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments
generated by the Advisor for its own account. See "Fiduciary Responsibility of
Directors and the Advisors; Indemnification" and "--The Advisory Agreement" in
this Section. 

     The Board is comprised of five individuals, a majority of whom are
independent (the "Independent Directors").  Election of Board members is
conducted on an annual basis.  Each individual elected to the Board serves a
one-year term or until his or her successor is elected.  See "Summary of
Organizational Documents."

     NORBERT J. TREONIS (age 46) has been a director of the Advisor since its
formation in 1994.  Mr. Treonis joined TIGI and its Affiliates in 1975 and he
is currently Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Inland Property Management
Group, Inc., Chairman of the Board of Directors of Inland Commercial Property
Management, Inc. and a Director of TIGI.  He serves on the Board of Directors
of all Inland subsidiaries involved in the property management, acquisitions
and maintenance of real estate, including Mid-America Management Corp. and
American Building Services, Inc.  Mr. Treonis is charged with the
responsibility of the overall management and leasing of all apartment units,
retail, industrial and commercial properties nationwide.  Mr. Treonis is a
licensed real estate broker.  He is a past member of the Board of Directors of
American National Bank of DuPage, the Apartment Builders and Managers
Association of Illinois, the National Apartment Association and the Chicago
Apartment Association.

     CATHERINE L. LYNCH (age 38) joined Inland in 1989 and is the Treasurer of
Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation.  Ms. Lynch is responsible for
managing the Corporate Accounting Department.  Prior to joining Inland, Ms.
Lynch worked in the field of public accounting for KPMG Peat Marwick LLP since
1980.  She received her B.S. Degree in Accounting from Illinois State
University.  Ms. Lynch is a Certified Public Accountant and a member of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Illinois CPA
Society.  She is registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers
as a Financial Operations Principal. 

     The Advisor is a member of a  group of affiliated corporations, The Inland
Group, Inc. ("TIGI"), which is engaged in businesses related to many aspects of
real estate and mortgage financing.  The relevant skills and experience of each
of these companies, developed over the course of 30 years in business,
primarily in the Chicago metropolitan area, is available to the Company in the
conduct of its business.

     The first of the TIGI-affiliated businesses was started by a group of
Chicago school teachers in 1967, and incorporated the following year.  The
founders of TIGI all remain actively involved in overseeing these companies.
The businesses of these TIGI-affiliated companies are still centered in the
Chicago metropolitan area, since the founders of TIGI believe that sound real
estate operations require detailed knowledge of local conditions.  Over the
past 30 years, TIGI-affiliated companies have experienced significant growth.
TIGI-



                                     60


affiliated companies, in the aggregate, in April 1996 were ranked by Crain's
Chicago Business as the 32nd largest privately held business group
headquartered in the Chicago area.  Limited partnerships for which IREIC is the 
general partner own in excess of 9,800 acres of pre-development land in the
Chicago area, as well as 10,500,000 square feet of commercial property in
Chicago and nationwide.

     As TIGI-affiliated companies bought and sold properties over the years,
necessary expertise in real estate financing was developed.  This function was
formally recognized in 1977, with the incorporation of IMC.  IMC, during its
history, has originated more than $1 billion in financing, including loans to
third parties and affiliated entities.

     Further delineation of functions and duties associated with financing
occurred in 1990, with the separate incorporation of Inland Mortgage Investment
Corporation ("IMIC") and Inland Mortgage Servicing Corporation ("IMSC").  IMIC,
as of March 31, 1997, owned a $56,878,995 loan portfolio, and IMSC serviced a
loan portfolio of 398 loans exceeding approximately $440,000,000.


THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT

     Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally has
responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company, administers the
Company's bookkeeping and accounting functions, serves as the Company's
consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by the Directors,
manages or causes to be managed the Company's properties and renders other
services as the Directors deem appropriate.  The Advisor is subject to the
supervision of the Directors and has only such functions as are delegated to
it.

     The Advisor bears the expenses incurred by it in connection with
performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement, including employment
expenses of its personnel, certain travel and other expenses of the directors,
officers and employees of the Advisor, rent, telephone, and equipment expenses
to the extent such expenses relate to the office maintained by both the Company
and the Advisor and miscellaneous administrative expenses incurred in
supervising, monitoring and inspecting real property or other investments of
the Company or relating to its performance under the Advisory Agreement.  The
Advisor receives reimbursement for certain expenses it incurs.  The Company
bears its own expenses for functions not required to be performed by the
Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, which generally include capital raising
and financing activities, corporate governance matters and other activities not
directly related to the Company's properties.

     The Advisory Agreement, which was entered into by the Company, with the
unanimous approval of the Directors, including the Independent Directors, is
renewable for successive one-year terms upon the mutual consent of the parties.
The agreement may be terminated by either party, or by mutual consent of the
parties or by a majority of the Independent Directors of the Company or the
Advisor, as the case may be, upon 60 days' written notice without cause or
penalty.  If the Advisory Agreement is terminated, the Advisor is required to
cooperate with the Company and to take all reasonable steps requested by the
Board to assist it in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

     For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Advisor must
reimburse the Company:  (i) to the extent that the Advisor Asset Management Fee
plus Other Operating Expenses paid during the previous calendar year exceed 2%
of the Company's Average Invested Assets for that calendar year; or (ii)  25%
of the Company's Net Income for that calendar year.




                                     61



     The Advisory Agreement grants the Company the first opportunity to buy any
Neighborhood Retail Centers placed under contract by the Advisor or its
Affiliates provided the Company is able to close the purchase within 60 days.
The Advisory Agreement also provides the Company with the first opportunity to
purchase any single-user retail property net leased by a  creditworthy tenant
located anywhere in the United States which is placed under contract or about
to be placed under contract by the Advisor or its Affiliates, provided that:
(i) the Company has funds available to make the purchase; (ii) the Board votes
to make the purchase within five days of being offered such property by the
Advisor; and (iii) the property meets the Company's acquisition criteria;
provided that if more than one real estate investment program sponsored by the
Advisor or its Affiliates has funds available to make the purchase, such
property will first be offered to the program which has had funds available for
the longest period of time.

     If the Advisor or its Affiliates perform services that are outside of the
scope of the Advisory Agreement, the Company will compensate the Advisor or the
Affiliate at such rates and in such amounts as agreed by the Advisor and the
Independent Directors.  The Directors (including a majority of its Independent
Directors) have approved the payment to the Advisor of an Acquisition Expense
reimbursement equal to approximately 0.5% of Gross Offering Proceeds to cover
costs incurred in the Advisor's site selection and acquisition activities
(including travel and related items) on behalf of the Company.  See
"Compensation Table."

     Many REITs which are listed on national stock exchange or included for
quotation on a national market system are considered "self-administered," since
the employees of the REIT perform all significant management functions.  In
contrast, REITs that are not self-administered, like the Company, typically
engage a third-party, such as an advisor, to perform management functions on
its behalf.  Accordingly, should the Company apply to have the Shares listed
for trading on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a
national market system, it may be in the Company's best interest to become
self-administered.  In this event, if the Independent Directors determine that
the Company should become self-administered, the Advisory Agreement permits the
Advisor to merge into the Company on terms and conditions agreed to by the
Company and the Advisor.  In the event the Advisor is merged into the Company,
certain key employees of the Advisor would become employees of the Company.

     If the Advisory Agreement is terminated because the Shares are listed for
trading on a national stock exchange or market system, the Advisor will no
longer be paid any fees.  The Advisor and the Management Agent may be merged
into the Company at the time of listing and may receive Shares in the Company
in an amount which would be determined at that time, based upon the value of
all fees forgone or waived by the Advisor and the Management Agent through the
merger.  In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated for any reason other
than the merger of the Advisor into the Company, all obligations of the Advisor
and its Affiliates to offer properties to the Company for purchase will also
terminate.

     The Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor and to pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to the
Advisor with respect to acts or omissions of the Advisor, provided that:  (i)
the Advisor determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused
a loss or liability was in the best interest of the Company; (ii) the Advisor
was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company; (iii) such
liability or loss was not the result of misconduct on the part of the Advisor;
and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only
out of the Company's net assets and not from the assets of the Stockholders.

THE MANAGEMENT AGENT

     Inland Commercial Property Management, Inc. ("ICPM" or the "Management
Agent"), an Affiliate of the Advisor, provides property management services to
the Company.  ICPM is an Illinois corporation and is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Mid-America Management Corp. ("Mid-America"), which manages approximately
14,600 multi-family units, including approximately 13,600 units in the Chicago
metropolitan area which Mid-America believes is more than any other firm in
that market.  ICPM was incorporated in 1994 to segregate responsibility for
Mid-America's growing management portfolio of commercial properties.  In August
1988, Mid-America and its Affiliates owned or managed 1.3 million square feet
of retail property.  This figure had grown to 5.8 million square feet by August
1991 and to 11.8 million square feet in May 1997.

     ICPM is responsible for collecting, leasing and maintaining  the
commercial properties which it manages.  A substantial portion of the
portfolio, approximately 7.6 million square feet, consists of properties
triple-net leased to creditworthy tenants, which means the tenant operates and
maintains the property and pays rent which is net of property taxes, insurance
and operating expenses.

     The following table sets forth information with respect to the executive
officers and directors of ICPM.  The biography of Mr. Norbert J. Treonis is set

OTHER SERVICES

     In addition to the services described above, Affiliates of the Advisor may
provide other property-level services to the Company and may receive
compensation for such services, including leasing, development, construction
management, loan origination and servicing, property tax reduction and risk
management fees.  However, under no circumstances will such compensation exceed
90% of that which would be paid to third parties providing such services and
all such compensation must have the prior approval of a majority of the
Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN 

     The Company has an Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Independent Director Stock Option Plan") under which non-employee Directors
who are "disinterested persons" as defined under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act
are eligible to participate.

     A total of 50,000 shares of Common Stock have been authorized and reserved
for issuance under the Independent Director Stock Option Plan.  If the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased, decreased or changed into, or
exchanged for, a different number or kind of shares or securities of the
Company through a reorganization or merger in which the Company is the
surviving entity, or through a combination, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock split, stock dividend, stock consolidation or otherwise, an appropriate
adjustment will be made in the number and kind of shares that may be issued
pursuant to options.  A corresponding adjustment to the exercise price of the
options granted prior to any change will also be made.  


                                     65


Any such adjustment, however, will be made without change in the total payment,
if any, applicable to the portion of the options not exercised but with a
corresponding adjustment in the exercise price for each share.

     The Independent Director Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of
non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,000 Shares to each Independent
Director as of the date such individuals became Directors (the "Initial
Options"), and subsequent grants of options to purchase 500 Shares on the date
of each annual stockholder's meeting to each Independent Director then in
office (the "Subsequent Options," collectively with the Initial Options
referred to herein as "Option" or "Options").  As of the date of this
Prospectus, Options to purchase an aggregate of 19,500 Shares at $9.05 per
Share (the "Option Price") have been granted, of which options to purchase
12,000 Shares have vested in the current Independent Directors.  The Option
Price for subsequent options will be equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the last business day preceding the annual meeting.

     Options granted under the Independent Director Stock Option Plan are
generally exercisable on the second anniversary of the date of grant.  To date,
options to purchase 3,500 Shares have vested in  Joel G. Herter, options to
purchase 4,000 Shares have vested in Roland W. Burris, and options to purchase
4,500 Shares have vested in Heidi Lawton.  Options granted under the
Independent Director Stock Option Plan are exercisable until the first to occur
of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or three months following the
date the Independent Director ceases to be a Director and may be exercised by
payment of cash or through the delivery of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding any
other provisions of the Independent Director Stock Option Plan to the contrary,
no option issued pursuant thereto may be exercised if such exercise would
jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT under the Code.

     No option may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred by an Independent
Director in any manner otherwise than by will or the laws of descent or
distribution.  Options granted under the Independent Director Stock Option Plan
are generally exercisable in the case of death or disability for a period of
one year after death or the disabling event or three months after the
Independent Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason except
death or disability.

     Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more
corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation
or upon sale of all or substantially all of the Company's property, the
Independent Director Stock Option Plan will terminate, and any outstanding
options will terminate and be forfeited.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board may provide in writing in connection with, or in contemplation of, any
such transaction for any or all of the following alternatives (separately or in
combinations):  (i) for the assumption by the successor corporation of the
options theretofore granted or the substitution by such corporation for such
options of options covering the stock of the successor corporation, or a parent
or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind
of shares and exercise prices; (ii) for the continuance of the Independent
Director Stock Option Plan by such successor corporation in which event the
Independent Director Stock Option Plan and the options will continue in the
manner and under the terms so provided; or (iii) for the payment in cash or
Shares in lieu of and in complete satisfaction of such options.

     financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
     Prospectus.

(2)  The net income and distributions per share are based upon the weighted
     average number of common shares outstanding.  The $.82 per share
     Distribution for the year ended December 31, 1996, represented 109.3% of
     the Company's Funds From Operations ("FFO") and 99.9% of funds available
     for distribution for that  period.  See Footnote (b) below for information
     regarding the Company's calculation of FFO.  Distributions by the Company
     to the extent of its current and accumulated earnings and profits for
     federal income tax purposes will be taxable to Stockholders as ordinary
     dividend income.  Distributions in excess of earnings and profits
     generally  will be  treated  as a non-taxable reduction of the
     stockholder's basis in the Shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter 
     as taxable gain (a return of capital).  These Distributions will have the
     effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the Distribution until the
     sale of the Stockholder's Shares.  For 1996, $611,418 (or 16.50% of the
     $3,704,943 Distribution paid for 1996 represented a return of capital.  In
     order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must make
     annual distributions to Stockholders of at least 95% of its taxable income
     which was approximately $2,938,800 (or 79.32% of the Distribution paid). 
     Taxable income does not include net capital gains.  Under certain 
     circumstances, the Company may be required to make Distributions in excess
     of cash available for distribution in order to meet the REIT distribution
     requirements. Distributions are determined by the Company's  Board of
     Directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including the amount
     of funds available for distribution, the Company's financial condition,
     any decision by the Board of Directors to reinvest funds rather than to
     distribute the funds, the Company's capital expenditures, the annual
     distribution required to maintain REIT status under the Code  and other
     factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

(3)  "FFO" means net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
     restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization
     and other non-cash items.  FFO and funds available for distribution are
     calculated as follows:

      (a)  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
           activities calculated in accordance with generally accepted
           accounting  principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash
           available to  fund cash needs.  FFO should not be considered as an
           alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
           performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of
           liquidity.

      (b)  Certain tenant leases contain provisions providing for
           stepped rent increases.  GAAP requires the Company to record rental
           income for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent,
           which is the average monthly rent for the entire period of occupancy
           during the term of the lease.  The accompanying financial statements
           include increases of $119,225 and $12,413 in 1996 and 1995, of
           rental income for the period of occupancy for which stepped rent
           increases apply and $131,638 and $12,413 in related accounts
           receivable as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
           Company anticipates collecting these amounts over the terms of the
           related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

      (c)  As part of several purchases, the Company will receive rent
           under  master lease agreements on the spaces currently vacant for
           periods ranging from one year to eighteen months or until the spaces
           are leased.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that
           as these payments are received, they be recorded as a reduction in
           the purchase price of the properties rather than as rental income.
           The Company has recorded $437,678 and $133,016 of such payments as
           of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                      INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES


     1. GENERAL.  The Company's investment objectives are to:  (i) make regular
Distributions to the Stockholders, which may be in amounts which may exceed the
Company's taxable income due to the non-cash nature of depreciation expense
and, to such extent, will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital, but in
no event less than 95% of the Company's taxable income; (ii) provide a hedge
against inflation by entering into leases which contain clauses for scheduled
rent escalations or participation in the growth of tenant sales, permitting the
Company to increase Distributions and realize capital appreciation; and (iii)
preserve Stockholders' capital.

     2. DISTRIBUTIONS.  The Company currently pays regular monthly 
Distributions to its Stockholders.  However, the Company reserves the right,
prior to the completion of the acquisition process, to pay Distributions on a
quarterly basis out of Cash Flow, in an amount determined by the Board.  The
properties owned by the Company are currently generating sufficient cash flow
to cover operating expenses of the Company plus pay a monthly Distribution of
8.5% per annum on weighted average Shares.  The Company's ability to pay
Distributions and the size of these Distributions depend upon a variety of
factors.  There can be no assurance that Distributions will be made. 
Distributions for the year ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996
totaled $736,627 and $3,704,943, respectively, of which $42,414 and $611,418,
respectively constituted a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. 
In addition, Distributions declared for the three months ended March 31, 1997
totaled $1,941,390, a portion of which may be a return of capital.

     To the extent possible, the Company seeks to avoid the fluctuations in
Distributions which might result if Distributions were based on actual cash
received during the Distribution period.  To implement this policy, the Company
may use cash received during prior periods, or cash received subsequent to the
Distribution period and prior to the payment date for such Distribution, in
order to pay annualized Distributions consistent with the Distribution level
established from time to time by the Board.  The Company's ability to maintain
this policy is dependent upon the Company's Cash Flow and applicable REIT
rules.  There can be no assurance that there will be Cash Flow available to pay
Distributions, or that Distribution amounts will not fluctuate.  Monthly
Distributions will be calculated with daily record and Distribution declaration
dates.  However, the Board could, at any time, elect to pay Distributions
quarterly, to reduce administrative costs.  As a matter of policy, the Company,
subject to applicable REIT rules, seeks to reinvest proceeds from the sale,
financing, refinancing or other disposition of its properties through the
purchase of additional properties.  See "--Sale or Disposition of Properties"
in this Section.

     3. TYPES OF INVESTMENTS.  The Company was formed to acquire existing 
Neighborhood Retail Centers located primarily within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, where the
Advisor maintains its acquisition and property management headquarters, as well
as single-user properties net leased by creditworthy tenants, located
throughout the United States.  The Company may enter into sale and leaseback
transactions, pursuant to which the Company will purchase a property from an
entity and lease the property to such entity.  The Company intends, whenever
possible, to acquire properties free and clear of permanent mortgage
indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price in cash or for shares of the
Company's stock.  The Company has in the past incurred, and may in the future
incur, indebtedness to acquire properties where the Board determines that
incurring such indebtedness is in the Company's best interest.  The Company
utilized financing to acquire 15 of its 33 properties.  In addition, from time
to time, the Company has acquired properties on an all-cash basis and later
incurred mortgage indebtedness secured by the property if favorable financing
terms are available.  The Company intends to continue this strategy.  The
proceeds from such loans are used to acquire additional properties.  Certain of
these properties may be subject to "net" leases.  "Net" leases typically
require tenants to pay all or a majority of the operating expenses including
real estate taxes, special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities,
insurance and building repairs related to the property, as well as lease
payments.  The leases are long-term 


                                      69

(typically 15 to 25 years, but generally not less than ten years) and require
the lessee to pay a base minimum annual rent with periodic increases.  For
purposes hereof, a creditworthy tenant is defined as a tenant with a minimum net
worth equal to ten times one year's rental payments required under the terms of
the lease or, alternatively, a tenant for whom payments under the lease are
guaranteed by an affiliate having a minimum net worth of $10 million.

     The Company purchases properties based on an examination and evaluation by
the Advisor of the potential value of the site, the financial condition and
business history of the property, the demographics of the area in which the
property is located or to be located, the proposed purchase price, geographic
and market diversification and potential sales.  In evaluating a property for
acquisition, the Advisor requires the seller to provide a current Phase I
environmental report and, if necessary, a Phase II environmental report.  In a
sale-leaseback situation, the seller of the property generally is assuming the
operating risk which may increase the price paid for the property by the
Company.  All acquisitions from Affiliates must be approved by a majority of
the Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

     The Advisor and its Affiliates may purchase properties in their own name,
assume loans in connection therewith and temporarily hold title thereto for the
purpose of facilitating acquisition or financing by the Company, the completion
of construction of the property or any other purpose related to the business of
the Company.  In no event, however, may the Advisor or its Affiliates transfer
any property to the Company which the Advisor or its Affiliates have held in
excess of twelve months prior to commencement of this Offering, except as
specified herein.

     4.  ACQUISITION STANDARDS. Through its experience gained through the 
acquisition of approximately 750 properties by Company's Affiliates, the
Advisor believes the Company has the ability to identify quality properties
capable of meeting the investment objectives.  In evaluating potential
acquisitions, the Company considers a number of factors, including a
property's:  (i) geographic location and type; (ii) construction quality and
condition; (iii) current and projected cash flow; (iv) potential for capital
appreciation; (v) rent roll, including the potential for rent increases; (vi)
potential for economic growth in the tax and regulatory environment of the
community in which the property is located; (vii) potential for expanding the
physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites; (viii) occupancy
and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the same geographic
vicinity; (ix) prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing
of the property; (x) competition from existing properties and the potential for
the construction of new properties in the area; and (xi) treatment under
applicable federal, state and local tax and other laws and regulations.

     Statistics in this section are excerpted from Woods & Poole Economics,
Inc., 1997 MSA Profile, Metropolitan Area Forecasts to 2020.  Woods & Poole
Economics, Inc. is a Washington, D.C.-based independent research firm that
specializes in long-term county economic and demographic forecasts.  Chicago
statistics are for the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area/Primary
Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and
Budget.  All earnings, personal income and retail sales data are presented in
inflation-adjusted 1992 "constant" dollars.

     In 1994, Chicago had the third largest population among 315 metropolitan
areas in the nation with more than 7.6 million people.  The Chicago
metropolitan area is one of the nation's largest metropolitan areas and retail
market.  While the rate of growth of this market from 1994 through 2020 is
forecast to trail that of the nation as a whole, in absolute numbers Chicago
will likely still be a leader in increases in population, jobs, per capita
income and retail sales.  Population is forecast to increase 0.32% per year in
the Chicago metropolitan area, compared to 1.02% for the nation as a whole; for
jobs, the forecasted 



                                      70

annual increase is 0.93% for Chicago, compared to 1.05% for the nation; for
retail sales, the total forecasted increase from 1994 to 2020 is 33% for Chicago
and 49% for the nation. 

     Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. projects that from 1994 through 2020, the
Chicago metropolitan area will add 867,850 persons, the 17th largest increase
among the nation's 315 metropolitan areas, with Chicago retaining its current
place as third largest metropolitan area in the nation.

     For the same period, Woods & Poole projects that the Chicago area will:
(i) see a 43% rise in per capita income, improving the area's ranking from 21st
to 14th among the nation's 315 metropolitan areas; (ii) lead the nation in the
number of new jobs, with 1,225,860; and (iii) see a rise in annual retail sales
from $64.4 billion to $85.6 billion, the fourth largest increase among any
metropolitan area in the nation and will at that time be the largest retail
market in the nation.

     5.  DESCRIPTION OF LEASES.  The Company anticipates that lessees will 
generally be required to pay a share, either pro rata or fixed, of the real
estate taxes, insurance, utilities and common area maintenance of the
properties.  The Company intends to include provisions which increase the 
amount of base rent payable at certain points during the lease term and/or
provide for the payment of additional rent calculated as a percentage of a
tenant's gross sales above predetermined thresholds in most of its leases.  The
leases with most Anchor Tenants generally have initial terms of ten to
twenty-five years, with one or more renewal options available to the lessee. 
By contrast, smaller tenant leases typically have three- to five-year terms.

     During the initial term of a "net" lease, which generally covers fifteen
to twenty-five years (typically not less than ten years), the tenant is
required to pay the Company, as lessor, a predetermined minimum annual rent
generally based upon the Company's cost of purchasing the land and building.

     Each "net" lease tenant is required to pay its share of the cost of the
liability insurance covering the properties owned by the Company.  The
third-party liability coverage insures, among others, the Company and the
Advisor.  Each tenant is required to obtain, at its own expense, property
insurance naming the Company as the insured party for fire and other casualty
losses in an amount equal to the full value of such property.  All such
insurance must be approved by the Advisor.  In general, the "net" lease may be
assigned or subleased with the Company's prior written consent, but the
original tenant must remain liable under the lease unless the assignee meets
certain income and net worth tests.

     6.  PROPERTY ACQUISITION. The Company has acquired to date, and in the 
future anticipates acquiring, fee interests in real property, although other
methods of acquiring a property may be utilized if it is deemed to be
advantageous to the Company. For example, the Company may acquire properties
through a joint venture or the acquisition of substantially all of the
interests of an entity which in turn owns the real property.  The Company may
also use wholly owned subsidiaries to acquire a property.  Such wholly owned
subsidiaries will be formed solely for the purpose of acquiring a property or
properties.  See "--Joint Ventures" in this Section.

     As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company had acquired 28
Neighborhood Retail Centers and five single-user retail properties.  A total of
two properties, the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreen/Decatur
property, were acquired from an Affiliate.  The prices paid for each of these
properties were not the subject of arm's-length negotiations.  Under the
Articles, the Company is prohibited from purchasing a property from an
Affiliate unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not interested in the transaction approve the purchase
as fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company no greater
than the cost of the asset to such Affiliate, or if the price to the Company is
in excess of such cost, that substantial justification for such excess exists
and that such excess is reasonable.  In no event shall the cost of such asset to
the Company exceed its current appraised 


                                      71

value.  A majority of the Directors (including a majority of the then
Independent Directors) approved the purchases of the Eagle Crest Shopping Center
and the Walgreen/Decatur property as being fair and reasonable to the Company
and at a price to the Company no greater than the cost of the assets to such
Affiliate.  There can be no assurance, however, that the prices paid to the
Affiliate for the Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property
or for future acquisitions of properties from Affiliates, if any, did not or
would not exceed that which would be paid by an unaffiliated buyer.  See "Real
Property Investments." 

     In some cases, the Company may commit to purchase properties subject to
completion of  construction in accordance with terms and conditions specified
by the Company.  For example, the Company has entered into letter agreements to
purchase two Neighborhood Retail Centers which will be redeveloped.  See
"Potential Property Acquisition - Oak Forest Commons, Oak Park, Illinois --
Downers Grove Plaza, Downers Grove, Illinois" below.  In such cases, the
Company will be obligated to purchase the property at the completion of
construction, provided the construction conforms to definitive plans,
specifications and costs approved by the Company and embodied in the
construction contract, as well as, in most instances, satisfaction that agreed
upon percentages of the property are leased.  The Company will receive a
certificate of an architect, engineer or other appropriate party, stating that
the property complies with all plans and specifications.  The Company will not
be permitted to construct or develop properties, or render any services in
connection with such development or construction.

     If remodeling is required prior to the purchase of a property, the Company
will pay a negotiated maximum amount either upon completion or in installments
commencing prior to completion.  Such amount will be based on the estimated
cost of remodeling.  In such instances, the Company will also have the right to
review the lessee's books during and following completion of the remodeling to
verify actual costs.  In the event of substantial disparity between estimated
and actual costs, an adjustment in purchase price may be negotiated.  If
remodeling is required after the purchase of a property, an Affiliate of the
Advisor may serve as construction manager for a fee no greater than 90% of the
fee a third party would charge for such services.

     7.   BORROWING. The Company intends, whenever possible, to acquire 
properties free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the
entire purchase price of each property in cash or for shares of the Company's
stock.  However, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Company,
the Company will, in certain instances, incur indebtedness to acquire
properties.  With respect to properties purchased on an all-cash basis, the
Company may later incur mortgage indebtedness by obtaining loans secured by
selected properties, if favorable financing terms are available.  The proceeds
from such loans would be used to acquire additional properties.  The Company
may also incur indebtedness to finance improvements to its properties.  The
Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings secured by all of the Company's
properties will not exceed 50% of their combined fair market value; however,
the maximum amount of borrowings as a percentage of Net Assets will, in the
absence of the consent of a majority of the Stockholders, not exceed 300% of
Net Assets.

     If the Company does incur indebtedness secured by its properties, it
intends to do so only on a non-recourse basis, which means that a lender's
rights on default will generally be limited to foreclosing on the property
which secured the obligation.  The Company will not borrow funds from a program
sponsored by the Advisor or its Affiliates which makes or invests in mortgage
loans.  The Company also seeks to obtain level payment financing, meaning that
the amount of debt service payable would be substantially the same each year,
although some mortgages might provide for a so-called "balloon" payment.  Any
mortgages secured by Company property will comply with the restrictions set
forth by the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California.  See
"Summary of the Organizational Documents--Restrictions on Borrowing."



                                      72


     8.   Sale or Disposition of Properties.  The Board will determine whether a
particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of after considering
the relevant factors, including performance or projected performance of the
property and market conditions, with a view toward achieving the principal
investment objectives of the Company.

     In general, the Company holds its properties prior to sale, for a minimum 
of four years.  See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the
Company--Prohibited Transactions." Furthermore, the Company generally reinvests
proceeds from the sale, financing, refinancing or other disposition of its
properties into additional properties or uses these proceeds to fund
maintenance or repair of existing properties or to increase reserves for such
purposes.  The objective of reinvesting the sale, financing and refinancing
proceeds in new properties is to increase the real estate assets owned by the
Company, and the Company's net income which the Board believes will enhance the
Company's chances of listing the Company's Shares on a national securities
exchange or market.  Notwithstanding this policy, the Board, in its discretion,
may distribute to Stockholders all of the proceeds from the sale, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of the Company's properties.  In determining
whether to distribute these proceeds to Stockholders, the Board will consider,
among other factors, the desirability of properties available for purchase,
real estate market conditions, the likelihood of the listing of the Company's
shares on a national stock exchange or including the Shares for quotation on a
national market system and compliance with REIT regulations.  Because the
Company may reinvest the proceeds from the sale, financing or refinancing of
its properties, the Company could hold Stockholders' capital indefinitely.
However, the affirmative vote of the Stockholders, controlling a majority of
the Shares, will force the Company to liquidate its assets and dissolve.  See
"Summary of the Organizational Documents--Dissolution or Termination of the
Company."  To date, the Company has reinvested all sale or refinancing
proceeds.
        
     In selling a property, the Company generally seeks to obtain an all-cash 
sale price.  However, a purchase money obligation secured by a mortgage on the
property may be taken as partial payment, and there are no limitations or
restrictions on the Company taking such purchase money obligations.  The terms
of payment to the Company will be affected by custom in the area in which the
property being sold is located and the then prevailing economic conditions.  To
the extent the Company receives notes and other property instead of cash from
sales, such proceeds (other than any interest payable thereon) will not be
included in net sale proceeds until and to the extent the notes or other
property are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of and,
therefore, the distribution of the proceeds of a sale to the Stockholders may
be delayed until such time.  In such cases, the Company will receive payments
(cash and other property) in the year of sale in an amount less than the
selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. To
date the Company has not sold any properties.
        
     9.   Change in Investment Objectives.  The Stockholders have no voting
rights with respect to implementing the investment objectives and policies of
the Company, all of which are the responsibility of the Board.  The Board will
not, however, make any material change in the principal investment objectives
described herein under the caption "Investment Objectives and Policies" without
first obtaining the written consent or approval of the Stockholders controlling
a majority of the Shares.

     10.  Certain Investment Limitations.  The Company will not:  (i) invest
more than 10% of its total assets in unimproved real property; (ii) invest in
commodities or commodity future contracts; (iii) issue redeemable equity
securities; (iv) issue shares on a deferred payment basis or other similar
arrangement; and (v) operate in such a manner as to be classified as an
"investment company" for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.  See "Summary of the Organizational Documents--Restrictions on
Investments." 



                                      73


     11.  Appraisals.  All real property acquisitions made and to be made by the
Company have been or will be supported by an appraisal prepared by a competent,
independent appraiser who is a member-in-good standing of the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers prior to the purchase of the property.  The
purchase price of each property will not exceed its appraised value.
Appraisals are, however, estimates of value and should not be relied on as
measures of true worth or realizable value.  The appraisal will be maintained
in the Company's records for at least five years, and copies of each appraisal
will be available for review by Stockholders upon their request.

     12.  Return of Univested Proceeds.  Any of the proceeds of this Offering
allocable to investments in real property which have not been invested in real
property or committed for investment within the later of:  (i) twenty-four
months from the original effective date of this Prospectus; or (ii) twelve
months from the termination of the Offering, will be returned by the Company to
the Stockholders.  All funds received by the Company out of the escrow account
will be available for the general use of the Company from the time of receipt
until expiration of the period discussed above and may be used to fund expenses
incurred to operate the properties which have been acquired and to reimburse the
Advisor for certain expenses of the Company, to the extent allowable under the
Advisory Agreement. Funds will not be segregated or held separate from other
funds of the Company pending investment, and interest will be payable to the
Stockholders if uninvested funds are returned to them.

     13.  Additional Offerings and Exchange Listing.  The Company anticipates
that, by calendar year 1999, the Board of Directors will determine whether it is
in the best interests of the Company to apply to have the Shares listed for
trading on a national stock exchange or included for quotation on a national
market system, provided the Company meets the then applicable listing
requirements.  The Company believes that an exchange listing may allow the
Company to increase its size, portfolio diversity, stockholder liquidity, access
to capital and stability, and decrease its operating costs through economies of
scale.  If listing of the Shares is not feasible by 1999, the Board may decide
to:  (i) sell the Company's assets individually; or (ii) list the Shares at a
future date. 

     14.  Joint Ventures.  The Company is permitted to invest in joint venture
arrangements with other public real estate programs formed by the Advisor or any
of its Affiliates if a majority of Directors (including a majority of
Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the
transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company and the investment by
each such joint venture partner is substantially on the same terms and
conditions as those received by other joint venturers.

     The Company is permitted to invest in general partnerships or joint
venture arrangements with Affiliates other than publicly registered Affiliates
only under the following conditions:  (i) the investment is necessary to
relieve the Company from any commitment to purchase a property entered into
prior to the closing of the Offering; (ii) there are no duplicate property
management or other fees; (iii) the investment of each entity is on
substantially the same terms and conditions; and (iv) the Company has a right
of first refusal if the Advisor or its Affiliates wish to sell the property
held in such joint venture.  In addition, the Company is permitted to invest in
general partnerships or joint venture arrangements with Affiliates as co-owners
of a property.  The Company will be able to increase its equity participation
in such entity as additional proceeds of the Offering are received by the
Company with the result that the Company will end up with up to a 100% equity
ownership of the property, provided, however that the affiliated general or
joint venture partner will not be entitled to any profit or other benefit on
such sale of its equity participation to the Company.

     Investors should consider the potential risk of the Company and its joint
venture partner being unable to agree on a matter material to the joint
venture.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will have
sufficient financial resources to exercise its right of first refusal.  The
Company will 



                                      74


not enter into joint venture arrangements with entities unaffiliated with the
Advisor and its Affiliates.  See "Risk Factors--Investment Risks--Objectives of
Joint Venture Partners May Conflict with the Company's Objectives."

     15.  Other Policies.  In determining whether to purchase a particular
property, the Company may first obtain an option to purchase the property.  The
amount paid for the option, if any, usually would be surrendered if the property
was not purchased and normally would be credited against the purchase price if
the property was purchased.

     The Company will not invest in any multi-family residential properties, 
leisure home sites, farms, ranches, timberlands, unimproved or mining
properties.  Assuming the Maximum Offering is sold, the Company does not intend
to invest more than approximately 20% of the anticipated proceeds in any one
property.
        
     The Company holds all funds, pending investment in properties, in assets 
which will allow the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT.  These
investments are highly liquid and provide for appropriate safety of principal
and may include, but are not limited to, investments such as GNMA bonds and
real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs").  See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of the Company--REIT Qualification Tests."
        
     The Company will not make distributions-in-kind, except for:  (i)
distributions of readily marketable securities; (ii) distributions of
beneficial interest in a liquidating trust established for the dissolution of
the Company and the liquidation of its assets in accordance with the terms of
the Articles; or (iii) distributions of in-kind property which meet all of the
following conditions:  (a) the Directors advise each Stockholder of the risks
associated with direct ownership of the property; (b) the Directors offer each
Stockholder the election of receiving in-kind property distributions; and (c)
the Directors distribute in-kind property only to those Stockholders who accept
the Directors' offer.


                          REAL PROPERTY INVESTMENTS

     The Company currently owns 28 Neighborhood Retail Centers and five
single-user retail properties.   In each case, the Company received an
appraisal of fair market value prior to acquiring the particular property.
Appraisals are, however, estimates of value and should not be relied on as a
measure of true worth or realizable value.  The terms of the leases at each
property vary depending upon tenant size, but in many cases contain contractual
provisions which automatically increase the amount of base rent payable at
certain points during the term of the lease.  These leases may also contain
provisions which provide for the payment of additional rent calculated as a
percentage of a tenant's gross sales above pre-determined thresholds.  The
Directors, including the Independent Directors, approved these acquisitions as
being fair and reasonable to the Company.  A total of two out of these 33
properties, Lansing Square and Maple Park (the "Ten Percent Properties"),
individually account for more than 10% of the book value of the Company's total
assets or gross revenues for the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

LANSING SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER, LANSING, ILLINOIS
                                                                              
     On December 31, 1996, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center  
located at Torrence Avenue and Interstate 80/94 in Lansing, Illinois known as 
Lansing Square Shopping Center ("Lansing Square") from Lansing Square RPF II    
Limited Partnership, an unaffiliated third party, for approximately $16.3       
million. The purchase price was funded using cash and cash equivalents as well  
as the proceeds of a series of loans from LaSalle Bank.  The proceeds of the    
loans from LaSalle Bank (the "LaSalle Loans") totaling $12,850,000, were        
received on December 30, 1996.  The LaSalle Loans are secured by properties the 
Company previously acquired.  Of the total of $12,850,000, approximately        
$8,000,000 was used in the acquisition of Lansing Square.  The LaSalle Loans    
require the payment of interest only at a rate of 7.6%, fixed for five years    
and then variable for an additional two years.  The purchase price for Lansing  
Square was approximately $69.80 per square foot, which the Company concluded    
was fair and reasonable and within the range of values indicated in an
appraisal received by the Company and presented to the Company's board of
directors.


     Lansing Square was built in 1991 and consists of three one-story buildings
aggregating 233,508 rentable square feet.  As of May 31, 1997, Lansing Square  
was 90.3% leased.  In evaluating Lansing Square                                
                                                                               

                                      83


as a potential acquisition, the Company considered a variety of factors
including location, demographics, tenant mix, price per square foot, existing
rental rates compared to market rates, and the occupancy of the center.  The
Company believes that the center is located in a vibrant economic area.
Although 75.5% of the rentable square feet at Lansing Square is leased to three
tenants, the Company's management believes that retenanting of any space which
is vacated in the future should be accomplished relatively quickly and at
rental rates comparable to those currently paid by the tenants at the facility.
The Company did not consider any other factors materially relevant to the
decision to acquire the property.

     The Company does not anticipate making any significant repairs and
improvements to Lansing Square over the next few years.  Nevertheless, a
substantial portion of any such cost would be paid by the tenants.

     The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the
occupancy rate at Lansing Square expressed as a percentage of total gross
leasable area and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.

     The Company received a letter appraisal prepared by an independent
appraiser who is a member in good standing of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers which reported a fair market value for the Lansing Square
property, as of January 1, 1997, of $16.3 million.

MAPLE PARK PLACE SHOPPING CENTER, BOLINGBROOK, ILLINOIS

     On January 9, 1997, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center
located at Naperville and Boughton Roads in Bolingbrook, Illinois known as
Maple Park Place Shopping Center ("Maple Park") from KBS Retail Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, an unaffiliated third party, for
approximately $15.3 million.  The Company funded the purchase using: (i) the
proceeds of a short-term loan maturing April 7, 1997 in the amount of
approximately $8.0 million from Inland Mortgage Investment Corporation
("IMIC"), an Affiliate of the Company (the "Short-Term Loan"); and (ii) cash
and cash equivalents.  The Company did not pay any fees in connection with the
Short-Term Loan, which bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum.  The Company
repaid the Short-Term Loan on January 25, 1997 using the proceeds of two loans
(the "Mortgage Loans") totaling $12,840,000 from an unaffiliated lender.  The
Company paid a 1.25% fee in connection with these Mortgage Loans.  The Mortgage
Loans have a term of seven years and, prior to the maturity date, require
payments of interest only, at a rate of 7.8% per year, fixed for the first five
years with interest for the remaining two years payable at an annual rate equal
to the prime rate plus 0.5%.  A majority of the Company's board, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, have approved the terms and conditions
of the Short-Term Loan.  The purchase price for Maple Park was approximately
$69.52 per square foot, which the Company concluded was fair and reasonable and
within the range of values indicated in an appraisal received by the Company
and presented to the Company's board of directors.

     Maple Park was built in 1992, with expansions made in 1994, and consists
of a one-story building aggregating 215,722 rentable square feet.  As of May
31, 1997, Maple Park was 99% leased.  In evaluating Maple Park as a potential 
acquisition, the Company considered a variety of factors including location,




                                      86


demographics, tenant mix, price per square foot, existing rental rates compared
to market rates, and the occupancy of the center.  The Company believes that the
center is located in a vibrant economic area.  Although 75.3% of the rentable
square feet at Maple Park is leased to two tenants, the Company's management
believes that retenanting of any space which is vacated in the future should be
accomplished relatively quickly and at rental rates comparable to those
currently paid by the tenants at the facility. The Company did not consider any
other factors materially relevant to the decision to acquire the property.
        
     The Company does not anticipate making any significant repairs and
improvements to Maple Park over the next few years.  Nevertheless, a
substantial portion of any such cost would be paid by the tenants.

     The table below sets forth certain information with respect to the
occupancy rate at Maple Park expressed as a percentage of total gross leasable
area and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.

</TABLE>

     Tenants leasing more than 10% of the total square footage are Kmart, which
leases 104,231 square feet, or approximately 49.5% of the rentable square feet
and Eagle Foods, which leases 56,706 square feet, or approximately 25.8% of the
rentable square feet.  Kmart is a national discount retailer of household goods
and clothing and Eagle Foods is a national grocery store chain.  The lease with
Kmart requires Kmart to pay base rent equal to $5.40 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until January 31, 2020.  The Kmart lease contains no option to
renew.  The lease with Eagle Foods requires Eagle Foods to pay base rent equal
to $10.16 per square foot per annum payable monthly until October 31, 2002 and
$10.41 per square foot per annum payable monthly until August 31, 2017.  The
Eagle Foods lease contains no option to renew.

     For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in Maple
Park is approximately $12,205,000.  Depreciation expense, for tax purposes,
will be computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and improvements
are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 40 years.

     Real estate taxes paid in 1996 for the tax year ended 1995 (the most
recent tax year for which information is available) were $358,415.  The real
estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying Maple Park's assessed value
by an equalizer of 1.00 and a tax rate of 8.0013%.








                                      87

     At May 31, 1997, a total 212,932 square feet were leased to nineteen
tenants at Maple Park.  The following tables set forth certain information with
respect to the amount of and expiration of leases at this Neighborhood Retail
Center.

THE FOLLOWING SETS FORTH INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S REMAINING
PROPERTIES.

THE WALGREENS/DECATUR PROPERTY

     On January 31, 1995, the Company acquired the Walgreens/Decatur property
from Inland Property Sales, Inc. ("IPS"), an Affiliate of the Advisor, for the
purchase price of $1,209,053, including acquisition costs of $482.  Although it
was originally anticipated that this property would be acquired on an all cash
basis, management of the Company made the determination, based on the
recommendations of the Advisor, that the investment objectives of the Company
would be better met by assuming a portion of the first mortgage loan secured by
such property, since: (i) the terms of the current first mortgage loan are more
favorable for the Company than mortgage rates currently available from
unaffiliated third parties; and (ii) the Company was able to apply its
available cash towards the acquisition of an additional property.  The Walgreen
Company ("Walgreens"), which is the largest drug store chain in the United
States based on sales volume and is considered to be creditworthy by the
Company, leases 100% of the free-standing building, which has 13,500
square-feet of GLA and was constructed in 1988.  IPS purchased the
Walgreens/Decatur property in 1990 for a purchase price of $1,152,500,
including a cash down payment of $112,500 and first-mortgage debt of
$1,040,000.  On June 9, 1994, IPS refinanced the Walgreens/Decatur property.
The existing first-mortgage loan was retired in the amount of $1,025,498,
including nine days of interest at $2,462.  A new first mortgage loan was
funded in the principal amount of $1,075,000.

earnings.  Eagle Crest aggregates 67,650 square feet of GLA and as of May 31,

first-mortgage debt in the principal amount of $2,450,000, realizing $76,792 in
net refinancing proceeds.  Since purchasing Eagle Crest, IPS expended $142,441
for capital improvements at the property.  On March 1, 1994, IPS again
refinanced Eagle Crest, increasing the principal amount of the first mortgage
loan from $2,450,000 to $3,600,000, using the additional $1,150,000 in loan
proceeds, plus $50,000 of IPS's funds, to reimburse $1,200,000 to Eagle for the
improvements made by Eagle to its store.  In return for the reimbursement Eagle

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Prospectus
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  These factors
include, among other things, limitations on the area in which the Company may
acquire properties; risks associated with borrowings secured by the Company's
properties; competition for tenants and customers; federal, state or local
regulations; adverse changes in general economic or local conditions;
competition for property acquisitions with third parties that have greater
financial resources than the Company; inability of lessees to meet financial
obligations; uninsured losses; risks of failing to qualify as a REIT; and
potential conflicts of interest between the Company and its affiliates
including the Advisor.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of July 24, 1996, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of
5,000,000 Shares, thereby completing the initial Offering.  On July 24, 1996,
the Company commenced a follow-on Offering of 10,000,000 shares plus an
additional 1,000,000 shares available for distribution through the DRP.  As of
March 31, 1997, the Company had received subscriptions for a total of 5,878,866
Shares of the follow-on Offering, resulting in $108,357,364 in Gross Offering
Proceeds.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company has repurchased 6,350 Shares
through the Share Repurchase Program.

     The Company's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo changes
as a result of the completion of the initial public offering of Shares, the
commencement of the follow-on Offering and the acquisition of properties.
Operating cash flow is expected to increase as these additional properties are
added to the portfolio.  Distributions to Stockholders are determined by the
Company's Board of Directors and are dependent on a number of factors,
including the amount of funds available for distribution, the Company's
financial condition, capital expenditures, and the annual distribution required
to maintain REIT status under the Code.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had  acquired  twenty-four  properties
utilizing approximately $86,523,702 of cash and cash equivalents.  Cash and
cash equivalents consists  of  cash  and  short-term  investments.  Cash  and
cash equivalents at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were $22,647,158 and
$8,491,735 respectively.  This increase was due to the additional sales
proceeds raised and $38,510,000 in loan proceeds from financing the properties.
Partially offsetting the increase in cash and cash equivalents was the
purchase of seventeen additional properties since March 31, 1996 and the
payment of Offering costs.

     The Company intends to use cash and cash equivalents to purchase
additional properties, to pay distributions and to pay offering costs.

     The properties owned by the Company are currently generating sufficient
cash flow to cover operating expenses of the Company plus pay a monthly
distribution on weighted average shares.  Commencing with the fourth quarter of
1996, the Company increased the monthly distributions from 8.0% to 8.3% per
annum on weighted average shares.  Beginning March 1, 1997, the Company
increased the monthly distribution paid to 8.5% per annum on weighted average
shares.  Distributions declared for the three months ended March 31, 






                                     101


1997 were $1,941,390, a portion of which represents a return of capital for
federal income tax purposes.  The return of capital portion of the 
distributions cannot be determined at this time and will be calculated at year
end.
        
     Management of the Company monitors the various qualification tests the
Company must meet to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust.
Large ownership of the Company's stock is tested upon purchase to determine
that no more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned directly, or
indirectly, by five or fewer persons or entities at any time.  Management of
the Company also determines, on a quarterly basis, that the Gross Income, Asset
and Distribution Tests as described in the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the Company--REIT Qualification
Tests" are met.  On an ongoing basis, as due diligence is performed by
management of both the Company and the Advisor on potential real estate
purchases or temporary investment of uninvested capital, management of both
entities determines that the income from the new asset will qualify for REIT
purposes.  Beginning with the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company
qualified as a REIT.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately
$980,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,575,693 from $596,106
for the same period in 1996.  This increase is due primarily to an increase in
net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the net
income for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase in net income
is due to the purchase of additional properties.  As of March 31, 1997, the
Company had acquired twenty-four properties, as compared to seven properties as
of March 31, 1996.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

     During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company utilized
$11,429,015 in investing activities for the purchase of three properties, as
compared to the $5,657,980 utilized in the three months ended March 31, 1996
for the purchase of one property.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

     For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company generated
$27,550,217 of cash flows from financing activities as compared to $7,413,866
of cash flows generated from financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase is due primarily to the increase in proceeds
raised from the Offering of $27,207,053 for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to $9,084,592 of Offering proceeds raised for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase is partially offset by an increase
in the cash used for the payment of Offering costs for the three months ended
March 31, 1997.  The increase is also partially offset by an increase in the
amount of distributions paid for the three months ended March 31, 1997 of
$1,740,481 as compared to the distributions paid for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 of $422,750.

     The Advisor has guaranteed payment of all public offering expenses
(excluding selling commissions, the marketing contribution and the due
diligence expense allowance fee) in excess of 5.5% of the Gross Offering
Proceeds of the Offering (the "Gross Offering Proceeds") or all organization
and offering expenses (including such selling expenses) which together exceed
15% of the Gross Offering Proceeds.  As of March 31, 1997, organizational and
offering costs did not exceed this limitation.








                                     102

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     As of March 31, 1997, subscriptions for a total of 10,878,866 Shares were
received from the public resulting in $108,357,364 in Gross Offering Proceeds,
which includes the Advisor's capital contribution of $200,000 and Shares
purchased through the DRP.

     Funds from operations ("FFO") means net income (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and other
non-cash items.  FFO and funds available for distribution for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
are calculated as follows:

(1)  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not
     necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  FFO should
     not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the
     Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a
     measure of liquidity.

(2)  Reference is made to Note (5) of the Notes to Financial Statements of the
     Company.

(3)  As part of the purchase of some of the properties, the Company will
     receive rent under master lease agreements on some of the spaces currently
     vacant for periods ranging from one to two years or until the spaces are
     leased.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that as these
     payments are received, they be recorded as a reduction in the purchase
     price of the properties rather than as rental income.  For the three
     months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company has recorded $71,599 and
     $109,333, respectively of such payments.  Reference is made to Note (5) of
     the Notes to Financial Statements of the Company.

     Total income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$4,857,771 and $761,079, respectively.  This increase was due to the purchase
of additional properties.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had acquired
twenty-four properties, as compared to seven properties as of March 31, 1996.
The purchase of additional properties also resulted in increases in property
operating expenses to Affiliates and non-affiliates and depreciation expense.

     The increase in mortgage interest to Affiliates and non-affiliates for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the three months ended March
31, 1996, is due to several factors.  The Company assumed mortgages as part of
the purchases of Regency Point and Aurora Commons.  The Company also obtained
$38,510,000 of financing from an unaffiliated lender, on fourteen properties
previously acquired.  The







                                     103

Company continues to have a mortgage collateralized by the Walgreens, Decatur
property payable to an Affiliate.

     Interest income is the result of cash and cash equivalents being invested
in short-term investments until a property is purchased.

     The increases in professional services to non-affiliates and general and
administrative expenses to Affiliates and non-affiliates for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996, is
due to the management of an increased number of real estate assets.

     The following is a list of approximate physical occupancy levels for the
Company's investment properties as of the end of each quarter during 1996 and
1997.  N/A indicates the property was not owned by the Company at the end of
the quarter.

      *As part of the purchase of these properties the Company receives rent
      under master lease agreements on the space which was vacant at the time
      of the purchase, resulting in 100% economic occupancy at March 31, 1997
      for Antioch, Montgomery-Sears and Salem Square.

      As part of the purchase of Summit of Park Ridge, a portion of the
      Seller's proceeds were escrowed for the monthly release of master lease
      payments.  The master lease agreements along with credits for signed
      leases resulted in 93% economic occupancy at March 31, 1997.

      The master lease agreements are for periods ranging from one to two years
      or until the spaces are leased.

      The Company has received termination fees resulting in 100% economic
      occupancy for Eagle Crest and Prospect Heights.

                      FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     The Company has been organized and intends to operate in a manner that
will permit it to continue to qualify as a REIT under the applicable provisions
of the Code and Regulations (the "REIT Requirements") and receive the
beneficial tax treatment described below.  However, no assurance can be given
that the activities and operations of the Company will allow it to continue to
meet the REIT Requirements, which are highly technical and complex.  The
following sets forth the rules with which the Company must comply in order to
qualify for treatment as a REIT for tax purposes, the federal income tax
consequences to the Company and its Stockholders from the Company's status as a
REIT and all material federal income tax consequences to an investor in the
Offering.  The discussion is qualified in its entirety by the applicable REIT
qualification provisions contained in the Code, the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations
thereof.  Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has acted as tax counsel to the Company in
connection with the organization of the Company and its election to be taxed as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes and has rendered the opinion set forth
below.  The tax implications of an investment in the Company's Shares is set 
forth in "--Taxation of Stockholders" in this Section.  Each prospective
purchaser of Shares, however, is urged to consult his tax advisor with respect
to the federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of Shares which may be to his particular
tax situation.






                                     106



     In general, a corporation that invests primarily in real estate can
qualify as a REIT, if it complies with the detailed REIT provisions in Code
Sections 856-860, and as a REIT can claim tax deductions for the dividends it
pays to its stockholders.  Such a corporation is, therefore, generally not
taxed on its "REIT taxable income" to the extent such income is currently
distributed to stockholders, thereby substantially eliminating the "double
taxation" that to which a corporation is generally subject.  However, as
discussed in greater detail below, such an entity could be subject to tax in
certain circumstances even if it qualifies as a REIT and would likely suffer
adverse consequences, including a reduction in cash available for distribution
to the Stockholders.  See "--Taxation of the Company--Failure to Qualify" in
this Section.  The Company represents that it filed the election to be
recognized as a real estate investment trust with its tax return for the year
ending December 31, 1995, which tax return was filed on a timely basis.  The
Company intends to continue operating in a manner that permitted it to elect
REIT status beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 1995 and to
continue to maintain this status in each taxable year thereafter so long as
REIT status remains advantageous to the Company and the Stockholders.

     Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. is of the opinion that as of June 24, 1997, and
based on the assumptions and representations described in this Section and
throughout the Prospectus, that the Company has been organized in conformity
with the requirements for qualification as a REIT, beginning with its taxable
year ending December 31, 1995 and that its prior, current and anticipated
methods of operation (as described in this Prospectus  and represented by the
Company and its management) has enabled and will enable it to continue to
satisfy the REIT Requirements.  This opinion has been filed as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, and is based and
conditioned on various assumptions and representations as to certain factual
matters made by the Company and the Advisor to Shefsky & Froelich Ltd.  The
Company's qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend upon the Company's
ability to meet the REIT Requirements, through the operation of its current
properties and those properties it acquires in the future.  Shefsky & Froelich
Ltd. will not review compliance with these tests on a continuing basis after
the initial effectiveness date of the Registration Statement or issue
additional opinions unless expressly requested to do so.  Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that the actual operating results of the Company will
allow the Company to satisfy the REIT Requirements in each tax year.  In
addition, this opinion represents counsel's legal judgment and is not binding
on the Service.

     Management of the Company and the Advisor currently expects that the
Company has operated and will continue to operate in a manner that permits the
Company to elect, and that it has elected, REIT status for its taxable year
ending December 31, 1995, and each taxable year thereafter.  There can be no
assurance, however, that this expectation will be fulfilled, since
qualification as a REIT depends on the Company's ability to continue to satisfy
numerous asset, income and distribution tests described below, which in turn
will be dependant on part on the Company's operating results.

TAXATION OF THE COMPANY

     General.  In any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT and has a
valid election in place, it will claim deductions for the dividends it pays to
the Stockholders, and therefore will not be subject to federal income tax on
that portion of its "REIT taxable income" or capital gain which is, in effect,
distributed to the Stockholders.  The Company will, however, be subject to tax
at normal corporate rates on any taxable income or capital gain not
distributed.

     Although the Company, if it maintains REIT status, can eliminate (or
substantially reduce) its federal income tax liability by maintaining its REIT
status and paying sufficient dividends, the Company could be subject to tax on
certain items of income.  If the Company fails to satisfy either the 95% Test
or the 75% Test (as defined below), yet maintains its REIT status by meeting
other requirements, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of the
amount by which the Company fails either the 95% Test or the 75% Test.  The








                                     107




Company will also be subject to a 100% tax on the net income from any
"prohibited transaction," as described below.  In addition, if the Company
fails to annually distribute at least the sum of:  (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary
income for such year; (ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such
year; and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior years, it would be
subject to an excise tax equal to 4% of the difference between the amount
required to be distributed under such formula and the amount actually
distributed.  The Company may also be subject to the corporate alternative
minimum tax.  Additionally, the Company will be subject to tax at the highest
corporate rate on any non-qualifying income from "foreclosure property,"
although the Company will not own any "foreclosure property" unless it makes
loans secured by interests in real property and forecloses on the property
following a default on the loan.  Any tax the Company pays due to any of the
aforementioned provisions will reduce the cash available to pay dividends.

     If the Company acquires any asset from a C corporation (generally, a
corporation subject to full corporate-level tax) in a transaction in which the
basis of the asset in the Company's hands is determined by reference to the
basis of the asset (or any other property) in the hands of the transferor
corporation (or if a REIT such as the Company holds such an asset beginning on
the first day of the first taxable year for which the Company qualifies as a
REIT), and the Company recognizes gain on the disposition of such an asset
during the 10-year period beginning on the date on which such asset was
acquired by the Company (or the date that the Company first qualified as a
REIT) (the "Recognition Period"), then, pursuant to guidelines to be issued by
the Service, the excess of the fair market value as of the beginning of the
applicable Recognition Period over the Company's adjusted basis in such asset
at the beginning of such Recognition Period will be subject to tax at the
highest regular corporate tax rates.

     REIT Qualification Tests.  The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust
or association:

            (i) that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

            (ii) the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable
       shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

            (iii) that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for its
       status as a REIT;

            (iv) that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance
       company;

            (v) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more
       persons on at least 335 days in each full taxable year, proportionately
       adjusted for a partial taxable year;

            (vi) at all times during the second half of each taxable year, no
       more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned, directly, or
       indirectly, by five or fewer persons or entities; and

            (vii) the Gross Income, Asset and Distribution Tests, described in
       greater detail below, are met.

     Conditions (i) through (iv) and (vii) must be met during each taxable year
for which REIT status is sought while conditions (v) and (vi) do not have to be
met until after the first taxable year for which a REIT election is made.

     Although the Voting Test (as defined below) generally prevents a REIT from
owning more than 10% of the voting stock of an entity, the Code provides an
exception for ownership of voting stock in a qualified REIT subsidiary (a
"QRS"), a corporation that is wholly-owned by a REIT throughout the
subsidiary's existence.  For purposes of the Asset and Gross Income Tests
described below, all assets, liabilities and tax 










                                     108

attributes of a QRS are treated as belonging to the REIT.  A QRS is not subject
to federal income tax, but may be subject to state or local tax.  The Company
may in the future hold direct or indirect interests in one or more partnerships
or joint ventures.  In general, a partnership is not subject to federal income
tax and instead, allocates its tax attributes to its partners.  The partners are
subject to tax on their allocable share of the income and gain, without regard
to whether they receive distributions from the partnership.  Each partner's
share of a partnership's tax attributes is determined in accordance with the
partnership agreement.  In addition, for purposes of the Asset and Income Tests,
the Company will be deemed to own and earn (based on its capital interest) an
undivided interest in each asset and a share of each item of gross income.
        
     The Company, in satisfying the general tests described above, must meet,
among others, the following requirements:

     A. Share Ownership Tests.  The Shares and any other capital stock the
Company issues (with the Shares, "Capital Stock") must be held by at least 100
persons (determined without attribution to the owners of any entity owning
Capital Stock) for at least 335 days in each full taxable year, proportionately
adjusted for partial taxable years.  In addition, at all times during the
second half of each taxable year, no more than 50% in value of the Capital
Stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals
(determined with attribution to the owners of any entity owning Capital Stock).
However, these two requirements do not apply until after the first taxable
year an entity seeks REIT status.  The Company represents that it:  (i) has
issued sufficient Capital Stock pursuant to the Offering to allow the Company
to satisfy these requirements; (ii) did not admit investors as Stockholders
until the admission allowed there to be sufficient Stockholders to meet these
requirements; and (iii) has thereafter admitted only those Stockholders that
allow the Company to continue to meet these requirements.  In addition, the
Company's Articles contain provisions restricting the transfer of Capital
Stock, which provisions are intended to assist the Company in satisfying these
requirements and the Company utilizes computerized systems designed to prevent
violations of these requirements.  Furthermore, the Distribution Reinvestment
Program contains provisions that prevent its operations from causing a
violation of these tests as do the terms of the options granted to the
Independent Directors and the terms of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants.
Moreover, the Company maintains records which disclose the actual ownership of
the outstanding Capital Stock, and the Company has demanded and will demand
written statements each year from the record holders of 5% or more of the
Capital Stock disclosing the beneficial owners thereof.  Those Stockholders
failing or refusing to comply with the Company's written demand are required by
the Code and the Articles to submit, with their tax returns, a similar
statement disclosing the actual ownership of Capital Stock and certain other
information.  See "Description of Securities--Restrictions on Transfer."

     B. Asset Tests.  The Company must satisfy, on the last day of each
calendar quarter, two tests based on the composition of its assets.  After
initially meeting the Asset Tests at the close of any quarter, the Company will
not lose its status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the Asset Tests at the end
of a later quarter if it did not acquire any additional assets and the failure
is due solely to changes in the value of its existing assets.  In addition, if
the failure to satisfy the Asset Tests results from an acquisition during a
quarter, the failure can be cured by disposing of non-qualifying assets within
30 days after the close of that quarter.  The Company intends to maintain
adequate records of the value of its assets to insure compliance with the Asset
Tests, and will take such other actions as may be required to cure any
non-compliance.

        1. 75% Asset Test.  At least 75% of the value of the Company's total
assets must be represented by "real estate assets," cash, cash items (including
receivables from the operations of the Company) and government securities (the
"75% Asset Test").  Real estate assets include interests in real  property
(including undivided interests in real property, leaseholds of land and options
to acquire land), interests in mortgages on real property, shares in other
qualifying REITs and property attributable to certain temporary investments of
new capital for a one year period beginning on the date the REIT received the
new capital. Property will qualify as attributable to the temporary investment
of new capital if the property is stock or a debt 








                                     109

instrument and the money used to purchase such stock or debt instrument is
received by the REIT in exchange for stock in the REIT (other than amounts
received pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan) or in a public offering of
debt obligations which have a maturity of at least five years.  The Company owns
the properties, and the Company represents that the purchase contracts apportion
no more than 5% of the purchase price of any property to property other than
"real property," as defined in the Code to reflect the fair market value of such
non-real estate assets.  In addition, the Company represents that it does not
and will not rent personal property to any tenant at any property, and has
maintained and will maintain depreciation schedules which corroborate this
representation.    In addition, the Company has and will invest funds not used
to acquire properties in cash sources, GNMA certificates, REMIC interests, "new
capital" investments or other liquid investments which will allow it to qualify
under the 75% Asset Test.  Therefore, the Company's investment in the properties
will constitute "real estate assets" and should allow the Company to meet the
75% Asset Test.
        
        2. Limitation Tests.  The remaining 25% of the Company's assets 
generally may be invested without restriction, although if invested in
securities, such securities may not exceed either:  (i) 5% of the value of the
Company's total assets as to any one non-government issuer; or (ii) 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.  A partnership interest held by
a REIT is not considered a "security" for purposes of these tests.  The Company
represents that as of the date hereof, it does not own any stock or securities
of any other company, and will not acquire securities which would cause the
Company to violate these limitation tests.
        
     C. Gross Income Tests.  The Company must satisfy for each calendar year
three separate tests based on the composition of its gross income, as
determined under its method of accounting.  For purposes of these tests, if the
Company invests in a partnership, it will be treated as receiving its share of
the income and loss of the partnership, and the gross income of the partnership
will retain the same character in the hands of the Company as it has in the
hands of the partnership.

        1. The 75% Gross Income Test (the "75% Test").  At least 75% of the
Company's gross income for the taxable year must constitute "rents from real
property" (as defined below), interest on obligations secured by real property
mortgages, gains from the sale of interests in real property and real estate
mortgages (other than gain from property held primarily for sale to customers
in the ordinary course of the Company's trade or business), dividends from
other qualifying REITs, certain other investments relating to real property or
mortgages thereon, and, for a limited time, income from the investment of new
capital.  Income will qualify as attributable to the temporary investment of
"new capital" if the income is attributable to the ownership of a stock or debt
instrument, but only during the one year period beginning on the date the REIT
receives such "new capital."  New capital is defined as amounts received in
exchange for the issuance of stock (other than amounts received pursuant to a
dividend reinvestment plan) or a public offering of debt obligations which have
a maturity of at least five years.  The Company will invest funds not otherwise
invested in properties in cash sources, GNMA certificates, REMIC interests,
"new capital" investments or other liquid investments which will allow the
Company to qualify under the 75% Test.

     Income attributable to a lease of real property will generally qualify as
"rent from real property" under the 75% Test (and the 95% Test described below)
subject to the rules discussed below:

           (i) Rent from a particular tenant will not qualify if the Company,
      or an owner of 10% or more of the stock of the Company, directly or
      indirectly owns 10% or more of the stock, assets or net profits of the
      tenant.

           (ii) The portion of rent attributable to personal property rented
      with real property will not qualify unless the portion attributable to
      personal property is 15% or less of the total rent received under the
      lease.







                                     110



           (iii) Rent will not qualify if it is based in whole, or in part, on
      the income or profits of any person.  However, rent will not fail to
      qualify if it is based on a fixed percentage (or designated varying
      percentages) of receipts or sales, including amounts above a base amount
      so long as the base amount is fixed at the time the lease is entered
      into, the provisions are in accordance with normal business practice and
      the arrangement is not an indirect method for basing rent on income or
      profits.

           (iv) Rental income will not qualify if the Company furnishes or
      renders services to tenants, other than through an "independent
      contractor" from whom the Company derives no revenue.  The "independent
      contractor" requirement, however, does not apply to the extent that the
      services provided by the Company are "usually or customarily rendered" in
      connection with the rental of space, and are not otherwise considered
      "rendered to the occupant."

      The Company represents that:

           (i) The leases provided to Counsel represent the only arrangements
      between the Company and tenants with regard to the rental of the
      properties or any portion thereof;

           (ii) It has not and will not directly or indirectly own 10% or more
      of any tenant that leases space in the properties;

           (iii) The portion of any payments received under each lease which
      are attributable to personal property constitutes less than 15% of the
      total rent received under such lease, and the depreciation schedules
      maintained for each property corroborate this representation;

           (iv) It has not and will not charge rent that is based on the income
      or profits of any person in certain properties and that the percentage
      rent clauses, if any, in its current leases are not intended to provide
      the Company with a prohibited share of income or profits; and

           (v) Services received by tenants in connection with their leases to
      the properties are usually or customarily rendered in connection with the
      rental of space, and therefore the provision of these services will not
      cause the rents received with respect to the properties to fail to
      qualify as rents from real property for purposes of the 75% and 95%
      Tests.  The Company intends to hire "independent contractors" to render
      services which it believes are not "usually or customarily rendered" in
      connection with the rental of space, including physical development or
      redevelopment activities.

        2. The 95% Gross Income Test (the "95% Test").  In addition to deriving
75% of its gross income from the sources listed above, at least 95% of the
Company's gross income for the taxable year must be derived from the
above-described qualifying income, or from dividends, interest or gains from the
sale or disposition of stock or other securities that are not Dealer Property
(as defined below).  Dividends and interest on obligations not collateralized by
an interest in real property qualify under the 95% Test, but not under the 75%
Test.  The Company will invest funds not otherwise invested in properties in
cash sources, GNMA certificates, REMIC interests, "new capital" investments or
other liquid investments which will allow the Company to qualify under the 95%
Test.  For purposes of determining whether the Company complies with the 75% and
95% Tests, gross income does not include income from prohibited transactions.
        
      The Company's share of income from the properties will primarily give rise
to rental income qualifying under the 75% and 95% Tests, and gains on sales of
the properties, substantially all of which will generally qualify under the 75%
and 95% Tests.  The Company's anticipated operations indicate that it is
unlikely that the Company will have sufficient, if any, non-qualifying income
to cause adverse consequences.   The Company 







                                     111

represents that the only income it has received has been from the leases entered
into with tenants at the properties, and interest income from the investment of
amounts not otherwise invested in properties.
        
     If the Company fails to satisfy either the 75% or 95% Tests for any
taxable year, it may retain its status as a REIT for such year if the failure
was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, the Company
attached to its return a schedule of the sources of its income, and any
incorrect information on the schedules was not due to fraud.  If this relief
provision was available, the Company would remain subject to tax with respect
to the excess net income.

           3. The 30% Test.  The Company must derive less than 30% of its gross
income for each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of:  (i) real
property held for less than four years (other than foreclosure property and
property disposed of through involuntary conversions); (ii) stock or securities
held for less than one year; and (iii) property in a prohibited transaction.
The Company currently intends to hold the properties for more than four years
and not to own any property that will cause a prohibited transaction and will
structure its activities to comply with this test.  In addition, the Company
will invest amounts not invested in properties in investments that will allow
it to comply with this test, and therefore may maintain increased cash reserves
or make lower earning liquid investments in order to prevent violations of this
test.

      D.   Annual Distribution Requirements (the "Distribution Test").  In
addition to the other tests described above, the Company is required to
distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to the Stockholders
each year in an amount at least equal to the difference between:  (i) the sum
of:  (a) 95% of the Company's REIT taxable income (computed without regard to
the dividends paid deduction and the REIT's net capital gain); and (b) 95% of
the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property; and (ii) the sum
of certain items of non-cash income.  Whether sufficient amounts have been
distributed is based on amounts paid in the taxable year to which they relate,
or in the following taxable year if the Company files an election before it
timely files its tax return for such year and if paid on or before the first
regular Distribution payment after such declaration.  If the Company fails to
meet the Distribution Test as a result of an adjustment to the Company's tax
return by the Service, the Company may cure the failure by paying a "deficiency
dividend" (plus penalties and interest to the Service) within a specified
period.  To the extent that the Company does not distribute all of its net
capital gain or distributes at least 95%, but less than 100%, of its REIT
taxable income, as adjusted, it will be subject to tax on the undistributed
portion.

      The Company intends to pay sufficient dividends each year to satisfy the
Distribution Test.  See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Distributions."
It is possible that the Company may not have sufficient cash or other liquid
assets to meet the Distribution Test due to tax accounting rules and other
timing differences.  The Company will closely monitor the relationship between
its REIT taxable income and cash flow and, if necessary to comply with the
Distribution Test, will borrow funds to provide cash flow needed to satisfy the
distribution requirement.  The Company represents that to date, it has
distributed dividends in excess of its real estate investment trust taxable
income, which thereby has allowed it to meet the Distribution Test.

      Failure to Qualify.  If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a
REIT in any taxable year and the relief provisions are not available or cannot
be met, the Company will not be able to deduct its dividends and will be
subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates, thereby reducing cash available for
Distributions.  Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions,
the Company will not be eligible to elect REIT status for the four taxable
years following the year during which qualification was lost.

      Prohibited Transactions.  As discussed above, the Company will be subject
to a 100% tax on any net income from "prohibited transactions."  Net income
from a prohibited transaction arises from the sale or exchange by a REIT of
property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of its trade or
business 














                                     112

("Dealer Property") unless such property is foreclosure property.  In addition,
there is an exception for certain sales of Dealer Property so long as the
property sold:  (i) is a real estate asset under the 75% Asset Test; (ii) has
been held for at least four years; (iii) has capitalized expenditures not in
excess of 30% of the net sales price; (iv) was held for production of rental
income for at least four years; and (v) when combined with other sales in the
year, does not cause the REIT to have made more than seven sales of Dealer
Property during the taxable year.  Although the Company will eventually sell
each of the properties, its primary intention in acquiring and operating the
properties is the production of rental income and it does not expect to hold any
property for sale to customers in the ordinary course of its trade or business.
        
TAXATION OF STOCKHOLDERS

     Taxation of Taxable Domestic Stockholders.  As long as the Company
qualifies as a REIT, Distributions paid to the Company's taxable domestic
Stockholders out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not
designated as capital gain dividends) will be ordinary dividend income.
Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits are
treated first as a tax-deferred return of capital to the Stockholder, reducing
the Stockholder's tax basis in its Shares by the amount of such distribution.
Because earnings and profits are reduced for depreciation and other non-cash
items, it is possible that a portion of each Distribution will constitute a
tax-deferred return of capital.  Distributions in excess of the Stockholder's
tax basis are taxable as capital gains, although the adjustment in tax basis
will result in increased gain or decreased loss upon the sale of the Shares.

     Dividend income is characterized as "portfolio" income under the passive
loss rules and cannot be offset by a Stockholder's current or suspended passive
losses.  Corporate Stockholders cannot claim the dividends received deduction
for such dividends unless the Company loses its REIT status.  Distributions
that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term
capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed the Company's actual net
capital gain for the taxable year).  However, corporate Stockholders may be
required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary
income.  Although Stockholders generally recognize taxable income in the year
that a Distribution is received, any Distribution declared by the Company in
October, November or December of any year and payable to a Stockholder of
record on a specific date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by
the Company and received by the Stockholder on December 31 of the year it was
declared even if paid by the Company during January of the following calendar
year.  Because the Company is not a pass-through entity for tax purposes,
Stockholders may not use any operating or capital losses of the Company to
reduce their tax liabilities.

     In general, the sale of Shares held for more than 12 months will produce
long-term capital gain or loss, while all other sales will produce short-term
gain or loss, in each case with the gain or loss equal to the difference between
the amount of cash received form the sale and the Stockholder's adjusted tax
basis in the Shares sold.  However, any loss from a sale or exchange of Shares
by a Stockholder who has held such stock for six months or less (after applying
certain holding period rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to
the extent of distributions from the Company that the Stockholder treated as
long-term capital gains.  In addition, please note that Distributions in excess
of earnings and profits that reduce a Stockholder's basis will increase the gain
or decrease the loss upon the sale of Shares.
        
     Backup Withholding.  The Company will report to its domestic Stockholders
and to the Service the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and
the amount (if any) of tax it withheld.  A Stockholder may be subject to backup
withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to dividends paid unless such
Stockholder:  (a) is a corporation or comes within other exempt categories; or
(b) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of
exemption, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements.  A Stockholder
that does not provide the Company with its correct taxpayer identification
number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the Service.  Any amount
paid as backup withholding can be 











                                     113

credited against the Stockholder's income tax liability.  In addition, the
Company may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions made
to any Stockholders who fail to certify their non-foreign status to the 
Company. See "--Taxation of Foreign Stockholders" in this Section.
        
     Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders.  Distributions by the Company to a
Stockholder that is a tax-exempt entity should not constitute UBTI unless the
tax-exempt entity borrows funds to acquire its Shares (or otherwise incurs
acquisition indebtedness within the meaning of the Code with respect to its
acquisition of the Shares), or the Shares are otherwise used in an unrelated
trade or business of the tax-exempt entity.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company constitutes a "Pension-Held
REIT", Qualified Plans that hold 10% or more of the Shares could recognize UBTI
even without incurring debt to acquire Shares.  The Company will constitute a
Pension-Held REIT if either:   (i) at least one Qualified Plan holds more than
25% (by value) of the Shares; or (ii) one or more Qualified Plans (each of
which owns more than 10% by value of the Shares) hold an aggregate of more than
50% (by value) of the Shares.  If the Company constitutes a Pension-Held REIT,
then a portion of the dividends received by any Qualified Plan that holds 10%
or more of the Shares will constitute UBTI based on the ratio of the Company's
gross income (less allowable deductions) which is considered UBTI itself, bears
to the Company's total gross income (less allowable deductions).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Ownership Limit contained in the Articles
should prevent the Company from unintentionally constituting a Pension-Held
REIT because no Stockholder, whether a Qualified Plan or otherwise, is
permitted to own more than 9.8% (by value) of the Shares without requesting and
obtaining prior Board approval.

     Taxation of Foreign Stockholders.  The following discussion is intended
only as a summary of the rules governing income taxation of non-resident alien
individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and foreign trusts and
estates (collectively, "Foreign Stockholders").  Prospective Foreign
Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the impact of
United States, state, and local income tax laws on an investment in the
Company, including any reporting requirements, as well as the tax consequences
in other countries in which they are subject to tax.

     In general, Foreign Stockholders will be subject to regular U.S. income
tax with respect to their investment in the Company if the investment is
"effectively connected" with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S.  A
corporate Foreign Stockholder that receives income that is treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to the
"branch profits tax" under Code Section 884.  The following discussion applies
to Foreign Stockholders whose investment in the Company is not considered
"effectively connected."

     Generally, any dividend that constitutes ordinary income for tax purposes
will be subject to a U.S. tax equal to the lesser of 30% of the dividend or the
rate in an applicable tax treaty.  A Distribution in excess of the Company's
earnings and profits is treated first as a return of capital that will reduce a
Foreign Stockholder's basis in its Shares (but not below zero) and then as gain
from the disposition of such Shares, subject to the rules discussed below for
dispositions.
        
     Distributions by the Company that are attributable to gain from the sale
or exchange of a U.S. real property interest are taxed to a Foreign Stockholder
as if the Distributions were gains "effectively connected" with a United States
trade or business.  Accordingly, a Foreign Stockholder will be taxed at the
capital gain rates applicable to a U.S. stockholder (subject to any applicable
alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of
non-resident alien individuals).  In addition, such dividends may also be
subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a corporate Foreign
Stockholder that is not entitled to treaty exemptions.










                                     114



     Although tax treaties may reduce the Company's withholding obligations,
the Company will generally be required to withhold from dividends to Foreign
Stockholders, and remit to the Service, 34% of designated capital gain
dividends and 30% of ordinary dividends paid out of earnings and profits.  In
addition, if the Company designates prior dividends as capital gain dividends,
subsequent dividends, up to the amount of such prior dividends, will be treated
as capital gain dividends for purposes of withholding.  If the amount of tax
withheld by the Company with respect to a distribution to a Foreign Stockholder
exceeds its U.S. tax liability with respect to such distribution, the Foreign
Stockholder may file for a refund of such excess from the Service.  The 34%
withholding tax rate on capital gain dividends currently corresponds to the
maximum income tax rate applicable to corporations, but is higher than the 28%
maximum rate on capital gains of individuals.

     Unless the Shares constitute a U.S. real property interest under Code
Section 897, a sale of Shares by a Foreign Stockholder generally will not be
subject to U.S. income taxation.  The Shares will not constitute a U.S. real
property interest if the Company is a "domestically controlled REIT."  A
domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which at all times during a specified
testing period less than 50% in value of its shares is held directly or
indirectly by Foreign Stockholders.  It is currently anticipated that the
Company will be a domestically controlled REIT, and therefore that the sale of
Shares will not be subject to such taxation.  However, because the Shares may
be publicly traded, no assurance can be given that the Company will continue to
be a domestically controlled REIT.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, capital gain
not subject to such rules will be taxable to a Foreign Stockholder if the
Foreign Stockholder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the
U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other conditions
apply, in which case the non-resident alien individual will be subject to a 30%
tax on his or her U.S. source capital gains.  If the Company did not constitute
a domestically-controlled REIT, whether a Foreign Stockholder's sale of stock
would be subject to tax as a sale of a U.S. real property interest would depend
on whether the Shares were "regularly traded" on an established securities
market and on the size of the selling Stockholder's interest in the Company.
If the gain on the sale of Shares was subject to taxation under these rules,
the Foreign Stockholder would be subject to the same treatment as a U.S.
Stockholder with respect to the gain (subject to applicable alternative minimum
tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien
individuals).  In addition, Distributions that are treated as gain from the
disposition of stock and are subject to tax under Code Section 897 may also be
subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a foreign corporate
stockholder that is not entitled to treaty exemptions.  In any event, a
purchaser of Shares from a Foreign Stockholder will not be required to withhold
on the purchase price if the purchased shares are "regularly traded" on an
established securities market or if the Company is a domestically-controlled
REIT.  Otherwise, the purchaser of stock may be required to withhold 10% of the
purchase price and remit this amount to the Service.

     If the proceeds of a disposition of Shares are paid by or through a U.S.
office of a broker-dealer, the payment is subject to information reporting and
to backup withholding unless the disposing Foreign Stockholder certifies as to
his name, address and non-U.S. status or otherwise establishes an exemption. 
Generally, U.S. information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a
payment of disposition proceeds if the payment is made outside the U.S. through
a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker-dealer. U.S. information reporting
requirements (but not backup withholding) will apply, however, to a payment of
disposition proceeds outside the U.S. if (i) the payment is made through an
office outside the U.S. of a broker-dealer that is either (a) a U.S. person, (b)
a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain
periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. or (c) a "controlled
foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the
broker-dealer fails to initiate documentary evidence that the Stockholder is a
Foreign Stockholder and that certain conditions are met or that the Foreign
Stockholder otherwise is entitled to an exemption.








                                     115


OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS        

     Company - Purchase with Shares.  If the Company acquires properties with
Shares, the Company, will not have any gain or loss on the issuance of its
Shares in return for such properties, regardless of the tax consequences for
the seller.  If the transaction is structured as a tax-free transaction for the
seller, such as a merger, the Company will take a carry-over basis for tax
purposes in the assets.  Such a carry-over basis will produce a lower basis for
purposes of depreciation then would arise if the Company acquired the real
estate in a taxable transaction, in which event, the Company's basis in the
acquired property would be the same as if the property was purchased outright.
This lower basis will result in lower depreciation deductions on an annual
basis which, all things equal, will increase the Company's income, and,
therefore, increase the amount of distributions the Company must pay in order
to maintain its status as a REIT as compared to the effects on income and
distributions had the property been acquired in a taxable transaction.  In
addition, if the Company acquires the property in a tax-free transaction, the
rules described above regarding Section 1374 will apply, and, therefore, the
Company will only acquire those properties which it intends to hold for more
than ten (10) years.

     Distribution Reinvestment Program.  Stockholders who purchased Shares
pursuant to the Company's Prior Offerings as well as Stockholders who purchase
shares in the Offering and participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Program
will recognize taxable dividend income in the amount they would have received
had they not elected to participate, even though they receive no cash.  These
deemed dividends will be treated as actual dividends from the Company to the
participating Stockholders and will retain the character and tax effects
applicable to all dividends.  See "--Taxation of Stockholders" in this Section.
Capital Stock received under the program will have a holding period beginning
with the day after purchase, and a tax basis equal to their cost, which is the
gross amount of the deemed Distribution.

     State and Local Taxes.  The Company and its Stockholders may be subject to
state or local taxation in various jurisdictions, including those in which it
or they transact business or reside.  The state and local tax treatment of the
Company and its Stockholders may not conform to the federal income tax
consequences discussed above.  Consequently, prospective Stockholders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws
on a investment in the Shares of the Company.

                             ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

     The following is a summary of material considerations arising under ERISA
and the prohibited transaction provisions of Code Section 4975 that may be
relevant to a prospective purchaser.  This discussion does not deal with all
aspects of ERISA or Code Section 4975 or, to the extent not preempted, state law
that may be relevant to particular employee benefit plan Stockholders (including
plans subject to Title I of ERISA, other employee benefit plans and IRAs subject
to the prohibited transaction provisions of Code Section 4975, and governmental
plans and church plans that are exempt from ERISA and Code Section 4975 but that
may be subject to state law requirements) in light of their particular
circumstances.
        
     In considering whether to invest a portion of the assets of a pension,
profit-sharing, retirement or other employee benefit plan ("Plan"), fiduciaries
of the Plan should consider, among other things whether the investment:  (i)
will be in accordance with the documents and instruments covering the
investments by such Plan; (ii) will allow the Plan to satisfy the
diversification requirements of ERISA, if applicable; (iii) will result in UBTI
to the Plan (see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of
Stockholders--Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders"); (iv) will provide
sufficient liquidity; and (v) is prudent under the general ERISA standards.  In
addition to imposing general fiduciary standards of investment prudence and
diversification, ERISA and the corresponding provisions of the Code prohibit a
wide range of transactions involving the assets of the Plan and persons who
have certain specified relationships to the Plan ("parties in interest" within
the 











                                     116

meaning of ERISA, "disqualified persons" within the meaning of the Code). Thus,
a designated Plan fiduciary considering an investment in the Shares should also
consider whether the acquisition or the continued holding of the Shares might
constitute or give rise to a direct or indirect prohibited transaction.
        
     The fiduciary of an IRA or of an employee benefit plan not subject to
Title I of ERISA because it is a governmental or church plan or because it does
not cover common law employees (a "Non-ERISA Plan") should consider that such
an IRA or Non-ERISA Plan may only make investments that are authorized by the
appropriate governing documents, not prohibited under Code Section 4975 and
permitted under applicable state law.

     The Department of Labor (the "DOL") has issued final regulations (the "DOL
Regulations") which provide guidance on the definition of "plan assets" under
ERISA.  Under the DOL Regulations, if a Plan acquires an equity interest in an
entity, which is neither a "publicly-offered security" nor a security issued by
an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, the Plan's assets would include, for ERISA purposes, both the equity
interest and an undivided interest in each of the entity's underlying assets
unless certain specified exceptions apply.  The DOL Regulations define a
publicly-offered security as a security that is "widely-held",
"freely-transferable," and either part of a class of securities registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act (provided
the securities are registered under the Exchange Act within 190 days after the
end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering occurred).  The
Shares are being sold in an offering registered under the Act and will be
registered under the Exchange Act.

     The DOL Regulations provide that a security is "widely-held" only if it is
part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors
independent of the issuer and of one another.  A security will not fail to be
"widely-held" because the number of independent investors falls below 100
subsequent to the initial offering as a result of events beyond the issuer's
control.  The Company represents that the Shares are held by over 100
independent investors and therefore are currently considered "widely-held."

     The DOL Regulations provide that whether a security is
"freely-transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all
relevant facts and circumstances.  The DOL Regulations further provide that when
a security is part of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or
less, as is the case with this Offering, certain restrictions ordinarily will
not, alone or in combination, affect the finding that such securities are
freely-transferable.  The DOL Regulations provide that a restriction or
prohibition against a transfer or assignment which would result in a termination
or reclassification of an entity for federal or state income tax purposes will
not affect whether securities are freely transferable.  The Company believes
that the Ownership Limit imposed under the Articles on the transfer of the
Shares are designed to prevent violations of the five-or-fewer rule (which would
cause a termination of REIT status for tax purposes) or which are otherwise
permitted under the DOL Regulations and, therefore, will not cause the Shares to
not be "freely-transferable."  The DOL Regulations are interpretive in nature
and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the DOL and the United States
Department of the Treasury will not conclude that the Shares are not
freely-transferable.
        
     Assuming that the Shares are "widely-held," the Company believes that the
Shares will be "publicly offered securities" for purposes of the Regulations
and that the assets of the Company will not be deemed to be "plan assets" of
any Plan that invests in the Shares.

                          DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

GENERAL

     The Company is authorized to issue 106,000,000 Shares of capital stock
comprised of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), and 6,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Preferred Stock").  The Shares of Common Stock offered hereby are
duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable when issued for the consideration
contemplated herein.  As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has issued
15,351,687.72 shares of Common Stock, reserved 875,000 shares of Common Stock
for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants granted or issued
by the Company and reserved an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for
issuance pursuant to the Company's Distribution Reinvestment Program.

     Stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for
securities of the Company, and the Common Stock is not convertible or subject
to redemption at the option of the Company.  The Common Stock is entitled to
one vote per share and Shares do not have cumulative voting rights.  Subject to
the rights of the holders of any class of capital stock of the Company having
any preference or priority over the Common Stock, the Stockholders are entitled
to Distributions in such amounts as may be declared by the Board from time to
time out of funds legally available for such payments and, in the event of
liquidation, to share ratably in any assets of the Company remaining after
payment in full of all creditors and provisions for any liquidation preferences
on any outstanding Preferred Stock.

     The Company may, at the discretion of the Board, authorize the listing of
the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or market.  The Company does
not intend to list the Common Stock prior to the termination of this Offering.
However, the Company anticipates that by 1999 it will apply to have the Common
Stock listed, or included on the Nasdaq National Market subject to the Company
meeting the applicable listing requirements and the Board determining that such
action is in the best interest of the Company.

     The Directors, without further action by the Stockholders, are authorized
to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to
determine and fix, as to any series, all the relative rights and preferences of
shares including, without limitation, preferences, limitations or relative
rights with respect to redemption rights, conversion rights, if any, voting
rights, if any, dividend rights and preferences on liquidation.

     The Company intends to issue the Shares and Soliciting Dealer Warrants
(including the Shares issuable on exercise of the warrants) as described below,
although it may from time to time issue other securities through public
offerings or private placements.  The Company may also issue shares of either
Common Stock or Preferred Stock in whole or partial payment for a property if,
in the judgment of the Board, such a transaction would be advantageous to the
Company.
        
     All Shares are fully transferable, subject only to restrictions which
would cause loss of REIT status.  See "--Restrictions on Transfer" in this
Section.  However, each person acquiring Shares must notify the Company of any
such transfer and provide his name, address, taxpayer identification number,
number of Shares acquired, Service Form W-9 and the name of the transferor
Stockholder prior to any Share transfer being recorded on the books and records
of the Company.  Additionally, the transferee Stockholder must present the
stock certificate representing such Shares or an affidavit of lost certificate.
Such properly executed documentation must be presented one calendar month
prior to the last date of the current quarter 











                                     118



to be effective as of the first day of the next quarter.  Failure to provide
such information could result in a transfer not being recognized by the Company
on a timely basis.
        
SOLICITING DEALER WARRANTS

     The Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Dealer Manager, one
warrant to purchase one Share for every 40 Shares sold by the Dealer Manager
(the "Soliciting Dealer Warrants") up to a maximum of 875,000 (375,000 of which
are warrants which were to have been, but were not issued pursuant to Warrant
Purchase Agreements dated July 22, 1996 and October 14, 1994) warrants to
purchase an equivalent number of Shares.  The Dealer Manager has agreed to pay
the Company $0.0008 for each Soliciting Dealer Warrant.  These warrants will be
issued on a quarterly basis commencing 60 days after the date on which the
Shares are first sold pursuant to this Offering.  The Dealer Manager may retain
or reallow Soliciting Dealer Warrants to Soliciting Dealers except where
prohibited by either federal or state securities laws.  The Company will not
issue Soliciting Dealer Warrants to the Dealer Manager, and the Dealer Manager
will not transfer Soliciting Dealer Warrants, in connection with the sale of
Shares to residents of the States of Minnesota, South Carolina, Nebraska or
Texas.

     The holder of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase one
Share from the Company at a price of $12 (120% of the public offering price per
Share) during the time period beginning from the date the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants are issued and ending on July 13, 2002 (the "Exercise Period").  A
Soliciting Dealer Warrant may not be exercised unless the Shares to be issued
upon the exercise of the Soliciting Dealer Warrant have been registered or are
exempt from registration in the state of residence of the holder of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrant or if a prospectus required under the laws of such
state cannot be delivered to the buyer on behalf of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be
exercisable until one year from the date of issuance.  In addition, holders of
Soliciting Dealer Warrants may not exercise the Soliciting Dealer Warrants to
the extent such exercise would jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT under
the Code.  The Company has previously issued no warrants in connection with the
Prior Offerings.

     The terms of the Soliciting Dealer Warrants, including the exercise price
and the number and type of securities issuable upon exercise of a Soliciting
Dealer Warrant and the number of such Warrants may be adjusted in the event of
stock dividends, certain subdivisions, combinations and reclassification of
Shares or the issuance to Stockholders of rights, options or warrants entitling
them to purchase Shares or securities convertible into Shares.  The terms of
the Soliciting Dealer Warrants also may be adjusted if the Company engages in
certain merger or consolidation transactions or if all or substantially all of
the Company's assets are sold.  Soliciting Dealer Warrants are not transferable
or assignable except by the Dealer Manager, the Soliciting Dealers, their
successors in interest, or to individuals who are both officers and directors
of such a person.  Exercise of these Soliciting Dealer Warrants will be under
the terms and conditions detailed in this Prospectus and in the Warrant
Purchase Agreement, which is an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

     As holders of Soliciting Dealer Warrants, persons do not have the rights
of Stockholders, may not vote on Company matters and are not entitled to
receive Distributions.












                                     119


ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES AND DEBT INSTRUMENTS

     The Directors are authorized to issue additional shares or convertible
securities for cash, property or other consideration on such terms as they may
deem advisable and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of capital
stock of the Company without approval of the holders of such outstanding
securities.  The Directors may cause the Company to issue debt obligations with
conversion privileges on more than one class of capital stock.  The Directors
may issue debt obligations with conversion privileges on such terms and
conditions as the Directors may determine whereby the holders thereof may
acquire Shares.  Subject to certain restrictions, the Directors may also cause
the Company to issue warrants, options and rights to buy Shares on such terms
as they deem advisable (notwithstanding the possible dilution in the value of
the outstanding Shares which may result from the exercise of such warrants,
options or rights to buy Shares) as part of a ratable issue to Stockholders, as
part of a public or private offering or as part of a financial arrangement with
parties other than the Advisor or Directors, officers or employees of the
Company or the Advisor.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

     For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, Shares must be
beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable
year of 12 months (other than the first year) or during a proportionate part of
a shorter taxable year.  Further, not more than 50% of the value of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly,
by five or fewer individuals during the last half of a taxable year (other than
the first year) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year.

     Since the Board believes it is essential for the Company to continue to
qualify as a REIT, the Articles provide that no person may own, or be deemed to
own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (the
"Ownership Limit") of the number or value of any class of the issued and
outstanding stock of the Company.  The Directors, upon receipt of a ruling from
the Service, an opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the
Directors and upon other conditions as the Directors may direct, may also
exempt a proposed transferee from the Ownership Limit.  As a condition of this
exemption, the intended transferee must give written notice  to the Company of
the proposed transfer no later than 15 days prior to any transfer which, if
effected, would result in the intended transferee owning shares in excess of
the Ownership Limit.  The Directors may require opinions of counsel,
affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in
order to determine or ensure the Company's status as a REIT.  Any transfer of
Shares that would:  (i) create a direct or indirect ownership of Shares in
excess of the Ownership Limit; (ii) result in the Shares being owned by fewer
than 100 persons; or (iii) result in the Company being "closely-held" within
the meaning of Code Section 856(b), shall be null and void, and the intended
transferee will acquire no right to the Shares.  The foregoing restrictions on
transferability and ownership will not apply if the Directors determine that it
is no longer in the best interests of the Company to attempt to qualify, or to
continue to qualify, as a REIT.

Any purported transfer of Shares that would result in a person owning Shares in
excess of the Ownership Limit or cause the Company to become "closely-held"
under Code Section 856(b) that is not otherwise permitted as provided above will
constitute excess shares ("Excess Shares").  Upon the Company determining the
existence of Excess Shares, it shall make a demand upon such Stockholders to
sell such Excess Shares.  Within 30 days after the Company requests such holder
to sell such Excess Shares, the Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been
offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a price per Share equal to
the lesser of:  (a) the price per Share in the transaction that created such
Excess Shares (or, 
        












                                     120



in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of
such devise or gift); and (b) the market price of the equity shares to which
such Excess Shares relates on the date the Company, or its designee, accepts
such offer.  The Company shall have the right to accept such offer for a period
of 30 days after the later of:  (i) the date of Transfer which resulted in such
Excess Shares; and (ii) the date the Board determines in good faith that a
Transfer resulting in Excess Shares has occurred, if the Company does not
receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to the terms of the Articles but in
no event later than a permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance with the
terms of the Articles.  If the Company accepts such offer, it shall be required
to pay the full purchase price for such Shares within such 30 day period.

     All persons who own, directly or by virtue of the attribution provisions
of the Code, more than 9.8% (or such other percentage between 1/2 of 1% and 5%,
as provided in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Code) of the
number or value of the outstanding Shares must give the Company written notice
by January 31st of each year.  In addition, each Stockholder shall, upon
demand, be required to disclose to the Company in writing all information
regarding the direct, indirect and constructive ownership of Shares as the
Directors deem reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code
applicable to a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority
or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.

     These ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a
takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the
Shares might receive a premium for their Shares over the then prevailing market
price or a price which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best
interest.

                   SUMMARY OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

     Each Stockholder is bound by and deemed to have agreed to the terms of the
Organizational Documents by his, her or its election to become a Stockholder.
The Organizational Documents, consisting of the Articles and Bylaws, were
reviewed and ratified by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of
the Independent Directors) at the first meeting of the Board.  The following is
a summary of certain provisions of the Organizational Documents and does not
purport to be complete.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by specific
reference to the Organizational Documents filed as Exhibits to the Company's
Registration Statement.

CERTAIN ARTICLE AND BYLAW PROVISIONS

     Stockholders' rights and related matters are governed by the Maryland
General Corporation Law ("MGCL"), the Articles and Bylaws.  Certain provisions
of the Articles and Bylaws, which are summarized below, may make it more
difficult to change the composition of the Board and may discourage or make
more difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of the
Company.

STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS

     An annual meeting of the Stockholders will be held not less than 30 days
after the delivery of the Company's annual report, but within six months after
the end of each fiscal year, for the purpose of electing Directors and for the
transaction of such other business as may become before the meeting.  A special
meeting of the Stockholders may be called by the chief executive officer, a
majority of the Directors or a majority of the Independent Directors, and shall
be called by an officer of the Company upon written request 










                                     121

of the Stockholders holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of the
outstanding Shares.  Upon receipt of a written  request, either in person or by
mail, stating the purpose(s) of the meeting, the Company shall provide all
Stockholders, within ten days after receipt of the request, written notice,
either in person or by mail, of a meeting and the purpose of such meeting to be
held on a date not less than fifteen nor more than 60 days after the
distribution of such notice, at a time and place specified in the request, or if
none is specified, at a time and place convenient to the Stockholders.  At any
meeting of the Stockholders, each Stockholder is entitled to one vote for each
Share owned of record on the applicable record date.  In general, the presence
in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding Shares shall constitute a
quorum, and the majority vote of the Stockholders will be binding on all
Stockholders of the Company.
        
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Articles and Bylaws provide that the number of directors of the
Company may not be fewer than three nor more than nine, a majority of which
will be independent.  This provision may only be amended by a vote of a
majority of the Board.  A vacancy in the Board caused by the death, resignation
or incapacity of a Director or by an increase in the number of Directors
(within the limits described above) may be filled by the vote of a majority of
the remaining Directors.  With respect to a vacancy created by the death,
resignation or incapacity of an Independent Director, the remaining Independent
Directors must nominate a replacement.  Vacancies occurring as a result of the
removal of a Director by Stockholders must be filled by a majority vote of the
Stockholders.  Any Director may resign at any time and may be removed with or
without cause by the Stockholders owning at least a majority of the outstanding
Shares.

     A Director must have at least three years of relevant experience and
demonstrate the knowledge required to successfully acquire and manage the type
of assets being acquired by the Company.  At least one of the Independent
Directors shall have three years of relevant real estate experience.

STOCKHOLDER VOTING RIGHTS

     Except as otherwise provided, all Shares have equal voting rights.
Stockholders are entitled to vote by written consent and do not have cumulative
voting rights.  The voting rights per share of equity securities of the Company
(other than the Shares) sold in a private offering may not exceed voting rights
which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of the Shares of the
Company as the consideration paid to the Company for each privately offered
Company share bears to the book value of each Share.

     All elections for Directors are decided by the affirmative vote of a
majority of votes cast at a meeting or without a meeting, provided that a
quorum is present (defined as a majority of the aggregate number of votes
entitled to be cast thereon).  Any or all Directors may be removed, with or
without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of
the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting.  All
other questions must be decided by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting.
If no meeting is held, 100% of the Stockholders must consent in writing.

     Without approval of a majority of the outstanding Shares, the Directors
may not:  (a) amend the Articles, except for amendments which do not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Stockholders, including
amendments to provisions relating to Director qualification, fiduciary duties,
liability and indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or
investment restrictions; (b) sell all or substantially all of the Company's
assets other than in the ordinary course of the Company's business or in
connection with liquidation and dissolution; (c) cause a merger or other
reorganization of the Company; or (d) dissolve or liquidate the Company, other
than before the initial investment in a property by the 










                                     122

Company.  For purposes of (b) above, a sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets means the sale of two-thirds or more of the Company's assets
based on the total number of properties or the current fair market value of
these assets.
        
     With respect to Shares owned by the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or
any Affiliate, neither the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors, nor any
Affiliate may vote or consent on matters submitted to the Stockholders
regarding the removal of the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or any
Affiliate or any transaction between the Company and any of them.  In
determining the requisite percentage and interest of Shares necessary to
approve a matter on which the Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors and any
Affiliate may not vote or consent, any Shares owned by them shall not be
included.

     Each Stockholder entitled to vote may do so:  (i) at a meeting in person
or by written proxy received by the Board prior to the meeting signed by the
Stockholder directing the manner in which he or she desires that his or her
vote be cast; or (ii) without a meeting by a consent in writing signed by the
Stockholder directing the manner in which he or she desires that his or her
vote be cast.  The written consent must be received by the Directors prior to
the date the votes of the Stockholders are to be counted.

STOCKHOLDER LISTS; INSPECTION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS

     An alphabetical list of names, record addresses and business telephone
numbers (if any) of all Stockholders with the number of Shares held by each, is
maintained as part of the books and records of the Company at the Company's
principal office.  This list is updated at least quarterly and is open for
inspection by a Stockholder or his designated agent upon such Stockholder's
request.  This list will also be mailed to any Stockholder requesting the list
within ten days of receipt of a request.  The Company may impose a reasonable
charge for expenses incurred in reproducing the list and may require the
Stockholder requesting the list to represent that the request is related to
Stockholders' voting rights under the Articles and the exercise of
Stockholders' rights under federal proxy laws.

     Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof is permitted
access to all records of the Company at all reasonable times and may inspect
and copy any of them.  In addition, the books and records of the Company are
open for inspection by state securities administrators upon reasonable notice
and during normal business hours at the principal place of business of the
Company.

AMENDMENT OF THE ORGANIZTIONAL DOCUMENTS

     The Articles may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
then outstanding Shares, without the concurrence of the Directors.  Unless
otherwise stated in the Articles, the Bylaws may be amended in a manner not
inconsistent with the Articles by a majority vote of the Directors, except that
any amendment which requires greater than a majority vote of the Directors must
be amended by the requisite vote and no Bylaw adopted by the Stockholders may
be amended by the Directors if the provision of such Bylaw provides that it may
not be amended without a Stockholder vote.

DISSOLUTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY

     The Company is an infinite-life REIT which may be dissolved pursuant to
the procedures set forth in the MGCL at any time by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Stockholders.  However, the Company anticipates that, by 1999,
the Board of Directors will determine whether it is in the best interests of
the Company to: (i) apply to have the Shares listed for trading on a national
stock exchange or included for 










                                     123

quotation on a national market system, provided the Company meets the then
applicable listing requirements; and/or (ii) commence subsequent offerings after
completion of this Offering.  If listing of the Shares is not feasible by 1999,
the Board may decide to: (i) sell the Company's assets individually;  (ii) list
the Shares at a future date to provide liquidity for Stockholders; or (iii)
liquidate the Company within ten years of the date thereof.
        
ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS

     The Bylaws provide that:  (a) with respect to an annual meeting of
Stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal
of business to be considered by Stockholders may be made only:  (i) pursuant to
the Company's notice of the meeting; (ii) by the Board; or (iii) by a
Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the
advance notice procedures set forth in the Bylaws; and (b) with respect to
special meetings of Stockholders, only the business specified in the Company's
notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting of Stockholders, and
nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made only:  (i)
pursuant to the Company's notice of the meeting; (ii) by the Board; or (iii)
provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such
meeting, by a Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has
complied with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Bylaws.

RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN CONVERSION TRANSACTIONS AND ROLL-UPS

     The Articles require that certain exchange offers, mergers, consolidations
or similar transactions involving the Company in which the Stockholders receive
securities in a surviving entity having a substantially longer duration or
materially different investment objectives and policies, or that provides
significantly greater compensation to management from that which is described
in this Prospectus be approved by all of the Independent Directors and by the
holders of 66 2/3 of the Shares, except for any such transaction effected 
because of changes in applicable law, or to preserve tax advantages for a
majority in interest of the Stockholders.  In should be noted that
standards such as "substantially longer life," "materially different investment
objectives and policies" or "provides significantly greater compensation to
management" are not defined and are by their nature potentially ambiguous.  Any
ambiguities will be resolved by the Directors.

     In connection with a proposed Roll-Up, as defined below, an appraisal of
all of the Company's assets must be obtained from a person with no current or
prior business or personal relationship with the Advisor or the Directors.
Further, the person must be engaged, to a substantial extent, in the business
of rendering valuation opinions of assets held by the Company (an "Independent
Expert").  The appraisal will be included in a prospectus used to offer the
securities of a Roll-Up Entity, as defined below, and filed with the Commission
and the state regulatory commissions as an exhibit to the registration
statement for the offering.  Accordingly, an issuer using the appraisal will be
subject to liability for violation of Section 11 of the Act and comparable
provisions under state laws for any material misrepresentations or material
omissions in the appraisal.  The Company's assets must be appraised in a
consistent manner and the appraisal must be based on an evaluation of all
relevant information indicating the value of the Company's assets as of a date
immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed Roll-Up transaction.  The
appraisal must assume an orderly liquidation of the Company's assets over a
12-month period.  The terms of the engagement of the Independent Expert shall
clearly state that the engagement is for the benefit of the Company and its
Stockholders.  A summary of the independent appraisal, indicating all material
assumptions underlying the appraisal, shall be included in a report to the
Stockholders in connection with a proposed Roll-Up.  A Roll-Up is a transaction
involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either 












                                     124

directly or indirectly, of the Company and the issuance of securities of a
Roll-Up Entity, as defined below.  A Roll-Up does not include:  (i) a
transaction involving securities of the Company that have been listed on a
national securities exchange or traded through the Nasdaq National Market for at
least twelve months; or (ii) a transaction involving the conversion of the
Company to corporate, trust or association form if, as a consequence of the
transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in any of the
following:  (a) Stockholders' voting rights; (b) the term and existence of the
Company; (c) Sponsor or Advisor compensation; or (d) the Company's investment
objectives.  A Roll-Up Entity is a partnership, real estate investment trust,
corporation, trust or other entity that would be created or would survive after
the successful completion of a proposed Roll-Up.
        
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not participate in any
proposed Roll-Up which would:

       (i)  result in the Stockholders having rights to meetings less
            frequently or which are more restrictive to Stockholders than those
            provided in the Articles;

      (ii)  reduce in the Stockholders' voting rights below those
            provided in the Articles;

      (iii) result in the Stockholders having greater liability than as
            provided in the Articles;

      (iv)  result in the Stockholders having rights to receive reports
            that are less than those provided in the Articles;

      (v)   result in the Stockholders having access to records that are
            more limited than those provided in the Articles;

      (vi)  include provisions which would operate to materially impede
            or frustrate the accumulation of Shares by any purchaser of the
            securities of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent
            necessary to preserve the tax status of the Roll-Up Entity);

     (vii)  limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights
            of its securities in the Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the number 
            of the Shares held by that investor;

     (viii) result in investors in the Roll-Up Entity having rights of access
            to the records of the Roll-Up Entity that are less than those
            provided in the Articles; or

      (ix)  place any of the costs of the transaction on the Company if
            the Roll-Up is not approved by the Stockholders;

provided, however, that the Company may participate in a proposed Roll-Up if
the Stockholders would have rights and be subject to restrictions comparable to
those contained in the Articles, with the prior approval of a majority of the
Stockholders.

     Stockholders who vote "no" on the proposed Roll-Up must have the choice
of:

       (i)  accepting the securities of the Roll-Up Entity offered in
            the proposed Roll-Up; or

      (ii)  one of either:








                                     125



               (a)  remaining as Stockholders of the Company
                    and preserving their interests therein on the same terms
                    and conditions as previously existed; or

               (b)  receiving cash in an amount equal to the
                    Stockholders' pro rata share of the appraised value of the
                    net assets of the Company.

     The foregoing provisions in the Articles, Bylaws and the MGCL could have
the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of
some, or a majority, of the Shares might receive a premium for their Shares
over the then prevailing market price or which these holders might believe to
be otherwise in their best interests.

LIMITATION ON TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES

     The Articles provide that, subject to the conditions described in the
following paragraph, the annual Total Operating Expenses of the Company may not
exceed in any fiscal year the greater of 2% of the Average Invested Assets of
the Company or 25% of the Company's Net Income.  The Independent Directors have
a fiduciary responsibility to limit the Company's annual Total Operating
Expenses to amounts that do not exceed these limitations.  The Independent
Directors may, however, determine that a higher level of Total Operating
Expenses is justified for a particular period because of unusual and
non-recurring expenses.  Any such finding by the Independent Directors and the
reasons in support thereof must be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of
Directors.  If Total Operating Expenses exceed these limitations during any
fiscal quarter on a rolling twelve-month basis, then within 60 days after the
end of the fiscal quarter in question, the Company must send a written report
to the Stockholders, together with an explanation of the facts the Independent
Directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that the higher operating
expenses were justified. If the Total Operating Expenses exceed the limitations
described above and if the Independent Directors are unable to conclude that
the excess was justified then, within 60 days after the end of the Company's
fiscal year, the Advisor must reimburse the Company in the amount by which the
aggregate annual Total Operating Expenses paid or incurred by the Company
exceed the limitation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Articles impose certain restrictions on transactions between the
Company and the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof.  In
particular, the Company may not:

      (i)  borrow money from the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or
           Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of the Directors (including a
           majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in
           the transaction determines that it is fair and reasonable and no
           less favorable to the Company than from unaffiliated parties under
           the same or similar circumstances;

      (ii) invest in joint ventures with an Affiliated program except in
           compliance with the requirements set forth in the Articles.  See
           "Investment Objectives and Policies--Joint Ventures";

     (iii) enter into any other transaction with the Advisor, the
           Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of
           the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
           not otherwise interested in the transaction determines that the
           transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and is on terms
           and conditions no less favorable than from unaffiliated third
           parties, except for advisory arrangements with the Advisor.
           Notwith-











                                     126

           standing the above, the Company was permitted to acquire the
           Eagle Crest Shopping Center and the Walgreens/Decatur property from
           IPS.  See "Conflicts of Interest--Acquisitions from Affiliates" and
           "--Non-Arm's-Length Agreements" and "Real Property Investments"; or

      (iv) sell property to or loan money to the Advisor, the Sponsor,
           any Director or Affiliates thereof (except as provided in the
           Articles).

RESTRICTIONS ON BORROWING

     The Company may not incur indebtedness to make Distributions except as
necessary to satisfy the requirement that the Company distribute at least 95%
of its REIT Taxable Income, or otherwise as necessary or advisable to assure
that the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes.  The aggregate borrowings of the Company, secured and unsecured, must
be reasonable in relation to the Net Assets of the Company and reviewed by the
Board at least quarterly.  The Company anticipates that aggregate borrowings
secured by all of the Company's properties will not exceed 50% of their
combined fair market value.  The maximum amount of indebtedness as a percentage
of Net Assets may not, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher
level of borrowing is appropriate, exceed 300% of Net Assets.  Any borrowings
in excess of 300% may only be incurred with the consent of a majority of the
Stockholders.  See "Investment Objectives and Policies--Borrowing."  The
Company may not borrow funds from the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director or
Affiliates thereof, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of
the Independent Directors), not otherwise interested in the transaction,
determines that such transaction is fair and reasonable and no less favorable
to the Company than from unaffiliated parties under the same or similar
circumstances.

RISTRICTIONS ON INVESTMENTS

     The investment policies set forth in the Articles have been approved by a
majority of Independent Directors.  The Articles prohibit investments in:  (i)
any foreign currency or bullion; (ii) short sales; and (iii) any security in
any entity holding investments or engaging in activities prohibited by the
Articles.

     In addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Directors from
time to time consistent with the Company's objective to qualify as a REIT, the
Company observes the following restrictions on its investments set forth in its
Articles:

       (i)  Not more than 10% of the Company's total assets may be
            invested in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on
            unimproved real property.  For purposes of this paragraph,
            "unimproved real properties" does not include properties under
            construction, under contract for development or plan for
            development within one year;

      (ii)  The Company may not invest in commodities or commodity future
            contracts.  This limitation does not apply to interest rate futures
            when used solely for hedging purposes;

      (iii) The Company may not invest in or make mortgage loans unless
            an appraisal of the underlying property is obtained.  Mortgage
            indebtedness on any property may not exceed the property's appraised
            value.  In cases in which the majority of Independent Directors so
            determine, and in all cases in which the mortgage loan involves the
            Advisor, the Sponsor, the Directors or any Affiliates, the appraisal
            must be obtained from an Independent Expert.  The appraisal must








                                     127

            be maintained in the Company's records for at least five years, 
            and must be available for inspection and duplication by any
            Stockholder. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee's or
            owner's title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of
            the mortgage or condition of the title must be obtained.  The
            Company may not invest in real estate contracts of sale otherwise
            known as land sale contracts;

       (iv) The Company may not make or invest in mortgage loans, including 
            construction loans, on any one property if the aggregate amount of
            all mortgage loans outstanding secured by the property, including
            the loans of the Company, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the
            appraised value of the property as determined by appraisal unless
            substantial justification exists because of the presence of other
            underwriting criteria provided that such loans would in no event
            exceed the appraised value of the property at the date of the loans;
        
        (v) The Company may not make or invest in any mortgage loans that are 
            subordinate to any mortgage or equity interest of the Advisor, the
            Sponsor, any Director or Affiliates thereof;
        
       (vi) The Company may not invest in equity securities unless a majority 
            of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
            not otherwise interested in the transaction approves the transaction
            as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable. Investments
            in entities affiliated with the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director
            or Affiliates thereof are subject to the restrictions on joint
            venture investments.  Notwithstanding these restrictions, the
            Company may purchase its own securities, when traded on a national
            securities exchange or market, if a majority of the Directors
            (including a majority of the Independent Directors) determine such
            purchase to be in the best interests of the Company;
        
      (vii) The Company may not issue:  (a) redeemable equity securities; (b) 
            debt securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the
            most recently completed fiscal year) as adjusted for known charges
            is sufficient to properly service the higher level of debt; (c)
            options or warrants to purchase Shares to the Advisor, the Sponsor,
            any Director or Affiliates thereof except on the same terms as sold
            to the general public, provided that the Company may issue options
            or warrants to persons not affiliated with the Company at exercise
            prices not less than the fair market value of such securities on the
            date of grant and for consideration (which may include securities)
            that in the judgment of the Independent Directors have a market
            value not less than the value of such option on the date of grant);
            options or warrants issuable to the Advisor, the Sponsor, any
            Director or Affiliates thereof shall not exceed an amount equal to
            ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Shares on the date of grant of
            any options or warrants; or (d) Shares on a deferred payment basis
            or similar arrangement;
        
     (viii) To the extent the Company invests in real property acquired from an
            Affiliate, a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
            Independent Directors) must determine that the consideration paid
            for the real property is equal to fair market value as determined by
            a qualified independent real estate appraiser selected by the
            Independent Directors;
        
       (ix) The Company may not invest in indebtedness (herein called "Junior 
            Debt") secured by a mortgage on real property which is subordinate
            to the lien of other indebtedness (herein called "Senior Debt"),
            except where the amount of the Junior Debt, plus the outstanding
            amount of the Senior Debt, does not exceed 90% of the appraised
            value of the property and, if after giving effect thereto, the value
            of all such investments of the Company (as shown 






                                     128

            on the books of the Company in accordance with generally accepted
            accounting principles, after all reasonable reserves but before
            provision for depreciation) would not then exceed 25% of the
            Company's tangible assets.  The value of all investments in Junior
            Debt of the Company which does not meet these requirements is
            limited to 10% of the Company's tangible assets (which would be
            included within the 25% limitation);
        
      (x)   engage in trading, as compared with investment activities; and

      (xi)  engage in underwriting or the agency distribution of
            securities issued by others.

Subject to the above restrictions, a majority of the Independent Directors may
alter the investment policies if they determine that a change is in the best
interests of the Company.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

GENERAL

     Of the 21,875,000 Shares offered by this Prospectus, the Company is
offering 20,000,000 Shares on a "best efforts" basis at a purchase price of
$10.00 per Share with a minimum initial investment of $3,000 ($1,000 in the
case of Tax-Exempt Entities, except for Iowa where the minimum investment for
IRAs will be $3,000 and for Minnesota where the minimum investment for IRAs and
qualified plan accounts will be $2,000); 1,000,000 Shares at a purchase price
of $9.50 per Share are being offered for issuance through the Distribution
Reinvestment Program; 875,000 Soliciting Dealer Warrants to purchase 875,000
Shares and the Shares underlying the Soliciting Dealer Warrants (which includes
375,000 Soliciting Dealer Warrants and the Shares underlying the Soliciting
Dealer Warrants pursuant to Warrant Purchase Agreement from the Prior
Offerings) are being offered.  See "Description of Securities -- Soliciting
Dealer Warrants."  "Best efforts" means that the Dealer Manager is not
guaranteeing that any specified amount of capital will be raised.  The Offering
will commence as of the date of this Prospectus and will terminate not later
than July 13, 1999. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Offering at
any time.

ESCROW CONDITIONS

     Subscription proceeds for qualified subscriptions will be deposited in a
segregated escrow account with the LaSalle National Bank, N.A., 120 South
LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois, and will be held in trust for the benefit of
the subscribers pending release to the Company, and will not be commingled.
Subscription proceeds are expected to be released to the Company as
subscriptions are accepted.  All subscriptions will be accepted or rejected
within ten days (and generally within twenty-four hours) after receipt by the
Company.

ADVISOR CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION

     The Advisor made a capital contribution to the Company in the amount of
$200,000 prior to an offering of Shares by the Company which commenced on
October 14, 1994 and terminated on July 22, 1996.  The Advisor received 20,000
Shares in consideration of this capital contribution.  The Advisor may not sell
or otherwise transfer these Shares while it remains the Advisor except to an
Affiliate.  The Advisor and its Affiliates may purchase additional Shares for
their own accounts.  However, at no time will the Advisor own 9.8% or more of
the total number of the Company's outstanding Shares.  Any purchases of 











                                     129



Shares by the Advisor during the Offering will be for investment purposes only
and not with a view toward distribution.
        
SUBCRIPTION PROCESS

     The Shares are being offered to the public by the Dealer Manager and the
Soliciting Dealers.  The form of Soliciting Dealers Agreement between the
Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers requires the Soliciting Dealers to
make diligent inquiries, as required by law, of all prospective purchasers in
order to ascertain whether a purchase of Shares is suitable for the person and
transmit promptly to the Company the completed subscription documentation and
any supporting documentation reasonably required by the Company.

     The Shares are being sold when, as and if subscriptions therefor are
received and accepted by the Company, subject to the satisfaction by the Company
of certain other conditions and approval by counsel of certain legal matters. 
The Company has the unconditional right to accept or reject any subscription. 
Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within ten days (and generally within
24 hours) after its receipt of a copy of the Subscription Agreement, fully
completed, and payment in good funds for the number of subscribed Shares.  If
the subscription is accepted, a confirmation will be mailed not more than five
business days after acceptance by the Company.  A sale of the Shares may not be
completed until at least five business days after the date the subscriber
receives a Prospectus and, as may be required by certain state regulatory
authorities, a copy of the Organizational Documents.  If for any reason the
subscription is rejected, the check and subscription agreement will be returned
to the subscriber, without interest or deduction, within ten days after receipt.
        
     Shares will only be sold to persons who initially purchase a minimum of
300 Shares ($3,000) or Tax-Exempt Entities which purchase a minimum of 100
Shares ($1,000), except for investors in the State of Iowa where the minimum
investment for IRAs will be 300 Shares ($3,000) and investors in the State of
Minnesota where the minimum investment for IRAs and qualified plan accounts
will be 200 Shares ($2,000).  Subscriptions will be accepted for fractional
Shares only in the discretion of the Company.

DETERMINATION OF INVESTOR SUITABILITY

     The Company, the Dealer Manager and each Soliciting Dealer will make every
reasonable effort to determine that those persons being offered or sold the
Shares satisfy the suitability standards set forth herein  and that an
investment in the Shares is an appropriate investment for the investor.  The
Soliciting Dealers must ascertain that the investors can reasonably benefit
from an investment in the Company.  In making the determination, the Soliciting
Dealers will consider whether: (i) the investor has the capability of
understanding the fundamental aspects of the Company based on the investor's
employment experience, education, access to advice from qualified sources such
as attorneys, accountants and tax advisors and prior experience with
investments of a similar nature; (ii) the investor has apparent understanding
of:  (a) the fundamental risks and possible financial hazards of this type of
investment; (b) the lack of liquidity of this investment; (c) the Advisor's
role in directing or managing the investment; and (d) the tax consequences of
the investment; and (iii) the investor has the financial capability to invest
in the Company.

     By executing the subscription agreement, each Soliciting Dealer
acknowledges its determination that the Shares are a suitable investment for
the investor.  Each Soliciting Dealer is required to represent and warrant that
it has complied with all applicable laws in determining the suitability of the
Shares as an investment for the subscriber.  The Company and its Affiliates
will coordinate the processes and procedures 











                                     130

utilized by the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers and, where necessary,
implement such additional reviews and procedures deemed necessary to determine
that investors meet the suitability standards set forth herein.  The Dealer
Manager and/or the Soliciting Dealers must maintain a record of the information
obtained to determine that an investor meets the suitability standards and a
representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the investor's
own account or, in lieu of such representation, information indicating that the
investor for whose account the investment was made met the suitability standards
for at least six years.
        
COMPENSATION

The Company will pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions equal to up to seven
percent (7%) on all Shares sold for serving as the dealer manager of the
Offering and for the sale of Shares through its efforts.  A portion of these
selling commissions may be retained or reallowed to Soliciting Dealers, as
compensation for their services in soliciting and obtaining subscribers for the
purchase of Shares.  Up to an additional 2.0% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, a
portion of which may be reallowed to Soliciting Dealers, may be paid to the
Dealer Manager as a Marketing Contribution for marketing fees, wholesaling fees,
expense reimbursements, bonuses and incentive compensation and volume 
discounts. In addition, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers may be
reimbursed by the Company for bona fide due diligence expenses not to exceed a
maximum of 0.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds.  The Dealer Manager may award
sales incentive items to Soliciting Dealers in connection with their sales
activities.  The value of each item will be less than $50 per annum per
participating salesperson.  The Dealer Manager may pay incentive compensation
to its regional marketing representatives for their activities as wholesalers
in connection with the distribution of the Shares, subject to the overall
restrictions on commissions described herein. The Dealer Manager may also
reallow commissions to Soliciting Dealers on an incentive basis.  Any incentive
compensation will be paid quarterly and will not exceed 1% of the price of the
Shares.  Marketing and due diligence costs paid by the Dealer Manager on behalf
of, or to, the Soliciting Dealers will be deducted from any incentive
compensation.
        
     Except in the case of Shares sold to residents of the States of Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Carolina or Texas where the Company will not issue and the
Dealer Manager will not transfer Soliciting Dealer Warrants, Soliciting Dealers
will also receive one Soliciting Dealer Warrant for each forty (40) Shares sold
by such Soliciting Dealer during the Offering, subject to federal and state
securities laws subject to a maximum of 875,000 warrants.  The holder of a
Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be entitled to purchase one Share from the
Company at a price of $12 during the period commencing with the first date upon
which the Soliciting Dealer Warrants are issued and ending on the Exercise
Period.  Subject to certain limitations, the Soliciting Dealer Warrants may not
be transferred, assigned,  pledged or hypothecated for a period of one year
following issuance thereof.  In addition, no Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be
exercisable until one year from the date of issuance.  Holders of the
Soliciting Dealer Warrants, therefore, have, at nominal cost, the opportunity
to profit from a rise in the market price for the Common Stock without assuming
the risk of ownership.  Exercise of these warrants will dilute the interest of
other security holders.  Moreover, the holders of the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants might be expected to exercise them at a time when the Company would,
in all likelihood, be able to obtain needed capital by a new offering of its
securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the Soliciting Dealer
Warrants.  See "Description of Securities--Soliciting Dealer Warrants."

     The maximum compensation to be paid in connection with the Offering will
not exceed: (i) a total of 7% of the Gross Offering Proceeds for selling
commissions; and (ii) a total of 2% of the Gross Offering Proceeds for
marketing fees, wholesaling fees, expense reimbursements, bonuses and incentive
compensation 








                                     131



and volume discounts.  The aggregate of these commissions and expenses plus the
value attributable to the warrants that may be issued to the Dealer Manager and
the Soliciting Dealers will not exceed 10% of the Gross Offering Proceeds.  In
addition, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers may be reimbursed for
bona fide due diligence expenses not to exceed a maximum of 0.5% of the Gross
Offering Proceeds.
        
     The Company may not pay or award, directly or indirectly, any commissions
or other compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor for
investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the investor to
purchase Shares; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the registered
broker-dealer or other properly licensed person from earning a sales commission
in connection with sale of the Shares.

VOLUME DISCOUNTS

     Investors purchasing at least $250,000 worth of Shares (25,000 Shares)
will be entitled to a reduction in the selling commission payable in connection
with the sale of these Shares in accordance with the following schedule:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
          Amount of
    Purchaser's Investment                      Maximum Commission
   ------------------------                     ------------------
      From           To                              per Share
   -----------  -----------                     ------------------
   <S>          <C>                             <C>
   $   250,000      499,999                                    5.5%
       500,000      999,999                                    4.0%
     1,000,000     and over                                    2.5%
</TABLE>


Any reduction in the selling commission in respect of volume discounts
otherwise payable to the Dealer Manager, some or all of which may be reallowed
to a Soliciting Dealer in respect of an investor's subscription will be
credited to the investor in the form of additional whole Shares or fractional
Shares purchased net of commissions.

     Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of crediting an investor
with additional Shares and determining commissions payable to the Dealer
Manager and reallowable to Soliciting Dealers so long as all combined purchases
are made through the same Soliciting Dealer.  Investors which are Tax-Exempt
Entities may combine their subscriptions for purposes of computing a discount
of the entities seeking to combine subscriptions if investment decisions are
made by the same person.  If the investor fails to mark the "Additional
Purchase" space on the Subscription Agreement/Signature Page, the Company
cannot be held responsible for failing to properly combine subscriptions.

     Employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates will be
permitted to purchase Shares net of sales commissions and the Marketing
Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee ($9.05 per Share).

TRANSFER OF SHARES

     A Stockholder may assign all or some of his Shares, subject to the
Ownership Limit contained in the Articles.  An assignment will confer upon the
assignee, the right to become a Stockholder in the following manner and subject
to certain conditions, including the following:  (i) an instrument of
assignment executed by both the assignor and assignee of the Shares
satisfactory in form to the Company delivered to the Company; (ii)
reimbursement of the Company for reasonable expenses and filing costs incurred
in connection with such transfer not to exceed $100; (iii) no assignment will
be effective until the first day of 










                                     132

the month following the month in which the Company actually receives the
instrument of assignment which complies with the requirements of (i) and (ii)
above; (iv) no assignment will be effective if such assignment would, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, result in the termination of the Company's
status as a REIT under the Code; (v) an assignment may be rejected if it would
cause 25% or more of the issued and outstanding Shares to be held by Tax-Exempt
Entities that are considered "benefit plan investors" under ERISA or otherwise
cause the assets of the Company to be Plan Assets; and (vi) no assignment will
be effected if the assignment would, to the knowledge of the Company, violate
the provisions of any applicable federal or state securities laws.
        
     The Shares will not initially be listed on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system.  The Company anticipates
that by 1999 the Board will determine whether it is in the best interests of
the Company to apply to have the Shares listed for trading on a national stock
exchange or included for quotation on a national market system, provided the
Company meets the then applicable listing requirements.

INDEMNIFICATION

     The Company will indemnify the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealers
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act; provided,
however, that the Company will not indemnify the Dealer Manager or any
Soliciting Dealer from any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out
of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more
of the following conditions are met:  (i) there has been a successful
adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law
violations as to the particular indemnitee and a court of competent jurisdiction
has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; or (ii) the claims have
been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction
as to the particular indemnitee and the court has approved indemnification of
the litigation costs; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a
settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and approves
indemnification of the settlement and related costs after being advised of the
position of the Commission and the published opinions of any state securities
regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered and sold as
to indemnification for securities law violations.  The Soliciting Dealer will be
required to indemnify the Company and the Advisor against certain such
liabilities.  In the opinion of the Commission, indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Act is against public policy and, therefore, unenforceable. 
The Dealer Manager and each of the Soliciting Dealers may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" as that term is defined in the Act.

           DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT AND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PROGRAM

     The Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP") provides the Company's
Stockholders with an opportunity to purchase additional Shares by reinvesting
Distributions.  Stockholders who elect to take part in the DRP ("Participants")
will authorize the Company to use Distributions payable to them to purchase
additional Shares.  A Participant will not be able to acquire Shares under the
DRP to the extent such purchase would cause it to exceed the Ownership Limit.

     Purchases under the DRP are made at a price equal to $9.50 per Share, a
reduction from the $10 offering price which price reflects a decrease in costs
associated with these issuances.  Participants in the DRP may also purchase
fractional Shares, so that 100% of Distributions will be used to acquire
Shares.  Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the record date for the
Distribution used to purchase the Shares.  Distributions for Shares acquired
under the DRP are currently paid monthly and are calculated with a daily record
and Distribution declaration date. Each Participant agrees that if, at any time
prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange or inclusion of the
Shares for quotation on a national market system, he or she fails to meet the
suitability requirements for making an investment in the Company or cannot make
the other representations or warranties set forth in the Subscription
Agreement, he or she will promptly so notify the Company in writing.

     Commencing with the first Distribution paid after the effective date of
the Offering and continuing until the termination of the Offering, Participants
will acquire Shares from the Company at a fixed price of $9.50 per Share.  It is
possible that a secondary market will develop for the Shares, and that Shares
may be bought and sold on the secondary market at prices lower or higher than
the $9.50 per Share price which will be paid under the DRP.  Neither the Company
nor its Affiliates will receive a fee for selling Shares under the DRP.  The
Company does not warrant or guarantee that Participants will be acquiring Shares
at the lowest possible price.  A Participant may terminate participation in the
DRP at any time without penalty, by delivering written notice to the Company. 
Prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange or including the
Shares for quotation on a national market system, any transfer of Shares by a
Participant to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the DRP with
respect to the transferred Shares. Upon termination, Distributions will be
distributed to the Stockholder instead of being used to purchase Shares under
the DRP.  Within 90 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year, the Company
will:  (i) issue certificates evidencing ownership of Shares purchased through
the DRP during the prior fiscal year (ownership of these Shares will be in
book-entry form prior to the issuance of certificates); and (ii) provide each
Participant with an individualized report on his or her investment, including
the purchase date(s), purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the
dates of distribution and amount of Distributions received during the prior
fiscal year.  The individualized statement to Participants include receipts and
purchases relating to each Participant's participation in the DRP including the
tax consequences relative thereto.  The Directors by majority vote (including a
majority of Independent Directors) may amend or terminate the DRP upon 30 days
notice to Participants.  The Board anticipates amending or terminating the DRP
upon completion of this Offering.
        
     Stockholders who participate in the DRP will recognize dividend income,
taxable to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and
profits, in the amount and as though they had elected to participate, even
though they receive no cash.  These deemed dividends will be treated as actual
dividends from the Company to the participating Stockholders and will retain
the character and tax effects applicable to all dividends.  Shares received
under the program will have a holding period beginning with the day after








                                     135



purchase, and a tax basis equal to their cost, which is the gross amount of the
deemed Distribution.  See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of
Stockholders--Taxation of Taxable Domestic Stockholders" for a full discussion
of the tax effects of dividend distributions.

     If the Company's Shares are listed on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system, Shares purchased by the
Company for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market, at the
prevailing market price, and will be sold to Stockholders at such price.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

     The Share Repurchase Program ("SRP") may, subject to certain restrictions,
provide eligible Stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them
to sell Shares back to the Company at a price of $9.05 per Share (a reduction
of $.95 from the $10 Offering price, reflecting selling commissions and the
Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance Fee).

     Repurchases under the SRP are made quarterly by the Company on a
first-come, first-served basis, and will be limited in the following ways:  (i)
not more than $500,000 worth of the outstanding Shares may be repurchased in
any given year; and (ii) the funds available for repurchase are limited to
available proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares under the
DRP.  The determination of available funds from sales under the DRP is made at
the sole discretion of the Board.  In making this determination, the Board
considers the need to use proceeds from the Share sales under the DRP for
investment in additional properties, or for maintenance or repair of existing
properties.  Such property-related uses are given priority over the need to
allocate funds to the SRP.  To be eligible to offer Shares for purchase to the
SRP, the Stockholder must have beneficially held the Shares for at least one
year.

     The Company cannot guarantee that funds will be available for repurchase.
If no funds are available for the SRP at the time when repurchase is requested,
the Stockholder could:  (i) withdraw his request for repurchase; or (ii) ask
that the Company honor the request at such time, if any, when funds are
available.  Such pending requests will be honored on a first come, first served
basis.  There is no requirement that Stockholders sell their Shares to the
Company.  The SRP is only intended to provide interim liquidity for
Stockholders until a secondary market develops for the Shares.  No such market
presently exists and no assurance can be given that one will develop.  The SRP
will exist during the Offering period and will be terminated following the
close of the Offering period:  (i) at such time as a secondary market-maker
quotes a bid and ask price for at least 30 continuous trading days; or (ii) the
listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange or inclusion for
quotation on a national market system.

     Shares purchased by the Company under the SRP will be canceled, and will
have the status of authorized but unissued Shares.  Shares acquired by the
Company through the SRP will not be reissued unless they are first registered
with the Commission under the Act and under appropriate state securities laws
or otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.

     In the event that the Company begins selling its properties, the purchase
price paid by the SRP for Shares will be adjusted accordingly.  Since the
availability of purchase funds for the SRP cannot be predetermined, and because
the demand for repurchase by Stockholders cannot be predetermined, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to establish and maintain the SRP.













                                     136


                           REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS


     The Advisor will keep, or cause to be kept, full and true books of account

accounting principles ("GAAP"). All of such books of account, together with a

maintained at the principal office of the Company, and will be open to
inspection, examination and duplication at reasonable times by the Stockholders
or their agents.

     The Advisor will submit to each Stockholder audited annual reports of the
Company within 120 days following the close of each fiscal year. The annual
reports will contain the following:  (i) audited financial statements; (ii) the
ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital raised;

paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the Company and
including fees or charges paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor
by third parties doing business with the Company; (iv) the Total Operating
Expenses of the Company, stated as a percentage of the Average Invested Assets
and as a percentage of Net Income; (v) a report from the Independent Directors

stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances
surrounding any and all transactions involving the Company, the Directors, the
Advisor and any Affiliate thereof occurring in the year for which the Annual
Report is made.  Independent Directors shall be specifically charged with the
duty to examine and comment in the report on the fairness of such transactions.

     In addition, unaudited quarterly reports containing the information
required by Form 10-Q will be submitted to each Stockholder within 60 days
after the end of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year.

     Concurrently with any Distribution, the Company shall provide Stockholders
with a statement disclosing the source of the funds distributed.  If such
information is not available concurrently with the making of a Distribution, a
statement setting forth the reasons why such information is not available shall
be provided concurrently.  In no event shall such information be provided to
Stockholders more than 60 days of making such Distribution.
        
     Within 60 days following the end of any calendar quarter during the period
of the Offering in which the Company has closed an acquisition of a property, a
report will be submitted to each Stockholder containing:  (i) the location and
a description of the general character of the property acquired during the
quarter; (ii) the present or proposed use of such property and its suitability
and adequacy for such use; (iii) the terms of any material lease affecting the
property; (iv) the proposed method of financing, if any, including estimated
down payment, leverage ratio, prepaid interest, balloon payment(s), prepayment
penalties, "due-on-sale" or encumbrance clauses and possible adverse effects
thereof and similar details of the proposed financing plan; and (v) a statement
that title insurance has been or will be obtained on the property acquired. In
addition, a report will be sent to each Stockholder and submitted to
prospective investors at such time as the Advisor believes a reasonable
probability exists that a property will be acquired:  (i) on specified terms
(i.e., upon completion of due diligence which includes review of the title
insurance commitment, appraisal and environmental analysis); and (ii) involving
the use of 10% or more, on a cumulative basis, of the net proceeds of this
Offering.

     After the completion of the last acquisition, the Advisor shall, upon
request, send to the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California a
schedule, verified under the penalty of perjury, 














                                     137



reflecting:  (i) each acquisition made; (ii) the purchase price paid for the
property; (iii) the aggregate of all Acquisition Fees paid on each transaction;
and (iv) a computation showing compliance with the Articles. The Company shall,
upon request, submit to the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of
California or to any of the various state securities administrators any report
or statement required to be distributed to Stockholders pursuant to the Articles
or any applicable law or regulation.
        
     The Company's federal tax return (and any applicable state income tax
returns) will be prepared by the accountants regularly retained by the Company.
Appropriate tax information will be submitted to the Stockholders within 30
days following the end of each fiscal year of the Company. A specific
reconciliation between GAAP and income tax information will not be provided to
the Stockholders; however, such reconciling information will be available in
the office of the Company for inspection and review by any interested
Stockholder.  Concurrent with the dissemination of appropriate tax information
to Stockholders, the Company will annually provide each Stockholder with an
individualized report on his or her investment, including the purchase date(s),
purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of distribution
and amounts of Distributions received during the prior fiscal year.  The
individualized statement to Stockholders will include any purchases of Shares
under the DRP. Stockholders requiring individualized reports on a more frequent
basis may request such reports.  The Company will make every reasonable effort
to supply more frequent reports, as requested, but the Company, at its sole
discretion, may require payment of an administrative charge which will be paid:
(i) directly by the Stockholder; or (ii) through pre-authorized deductions
from Distributions payable to the Stockholder making the request.

                                  (unaudited)


Readers  of  this  Quarterly  Report  should  refer  to  the  Company's audited
financial statements for the  fiscal  year  ended  December 31, 1996, which are
included in the Company's 1996  Annual  Report, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate  those  contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this Report.

(1)    Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland Real Estate Corporation (the  "Company")  was  formed on May 12, 1994 to
invest in neighborhood retail  centers  located  within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its  headquarters  in  Oak  Brook,  Illinois.    The Company may also
acquire  single-user  retail  properties  in  locations  throughout  the United
States, certain of which may be  sale and leaseback transactions, net leased to
creditworthy  tenants.    Inland  Real  Estate  Advisory  Services,  Inc.  (the
"Advisor"), an Affiliate of the  Company,  is  the  advisor to the Company.  On
October 14, 1994, the Company commenced  an  initial public offering, on a best
efforts basis, ("Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock ("Shares") at a
price of $10 per Share and 1,000,000 Shares at a price of $9.05 per Share to be
distributed pursuant to  the  Company's  distribution reinvestment program (the
"DRP").  As of July  24,  1996,  the  Company  had received subscriptions for a
total of 5,000,000 Shares, thereby  completing  the  initial Offering.  On July
24, 1996, the Company commenced an offering of an additional 10,000,000 Shares,
on a best efforts basis, (the  "Second Offering")  plus an additional 1,000,000
Shares for distribution through the DRP.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had
received  subscriptions  for  a  total  of  5,878,866  Shares  from  the Second
Offering, resulting  in  $108,357,364  in  gross  offering  proceeds, including
Shares purchased through the  Distribution  Reinvestment  Program.  As of March
31, 1997, the Company has repurchased 6,350 Shares through the Share Repurchase
Program.

The Company qualified as  a  real  estate  investment  trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of  1986,  as  amended,  for  federal income tax purposes
commencing with the tax  year  ending  December  31,  1995.   Since the Company
qualified for taxation as a REIT, the  Company generally will not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent it  distributes its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders.  If the Company fails to  qualify  as a REIT in any taxable year,
the Company will be subject  to  federal  income  tax  on its taxable income at
regular corporate tax rates.  Even  if  the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers all highly  liquid  investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be  cash  equivalents and are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value. 

Restricted cash at March  31,  1997  includes  $995,290  held in escrow for the
principal payments on the Aurora Commons  mortgage payable.  Restricted cash at
March 31, 1997 and December 31,  1996  also includes amounts held in escrow for
tenant improvements,  concessions  and  leasing  commissions  at Antioch Plaza.
Such amounts will be added to the  basis of the property as tenant improvements
are completed.  

The Partnership adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first quarter of 1996.  SFAS
121 requires that the Partnership record  an impairment loss on its property to
be held for investment whenever  its  carrying  value cannot be fully recovered
through estimated undiscounted  future  cash  flows  from  their operations and
sale.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  to  be  recognized  would be the
difference between the property's  carrying  value and the property's estimated
fair value.    The  adoption  of  SFAS  121  did  not  have  any  effect on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are  based  upon  estimated  useful  lives  of  30  years.  Tenant
improvements will be depreciated over the related lease period.

Loan fees are amortized on a straight  line  basis over the life of the related
loans.

Deferred organization costs are amortized over a 60-month period.

Offering costs are offset against  the Stockholders' equity accounts.  Offering
costs consist principally of printing, selling and registration costs.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over the term of each
lease.  The difference between  rental  income  earned on a straight-line basis
and the cash rent due under the  provisions of the lease agreements is recorded
as deferred rent receivable.

(2)    Transactions with Affiliates

As of March 31, 1997, the  Company had incurred $13,568,479 of organization and
offering costs.  Pursuant to the terms of the offering, the Advisor is required
to pay organizational and  offering  expenses (excluding sales commissions, the
marketing contribution and the due  diligence  expense allowance fee) in excess
of 5.5% of the gross proceeds  of  the Offering (the "Gross Offering Proceeds")
or all organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions) which
together exceed 15% of gross offering  proceeds.    As of the completion of the
initial Offering, organizational and offering  did  not  exceed the 5.5% or 15%
limitations.  As of March  31,  1997,  organizational and offering costs of the
Second Offering did not  exceed  the  5.5%  and  15%  limitations.  The Company
anticipates that these costs will  not exceed these limitations upon completion
of the  offerings,  however,  any  excess  amounts  will  be  reimbursed by the
Advisor.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating to the
Offering.  Such costs  to  Affiliates  incurred  relating  to the offering were
$964,824 and $692,248 as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively,
of which $260,555 and $120,269 were  unpaid  as  of March 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996, respectively.  In  addition,  an  Affiliate  of the Advisor serves as
dealer manager of the offering and  is entitled to receive selling commissions,
a marketing contribution and  a  due  diligence  expense allowance fee from the
Company in connection with the offering.  Such amounts incurred were $9,961,186
and $7,403,965 as of March  31,  1997  and  December 31, 1996, respectively, of
which $577,747 and $270,365 was unpaid  as  of  March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.  As of  March  31,  1997, approximately $8,436,000 of these
commissions  had  been  passed  through  from  the  Affiliate  to  unaffiliated
soliciting broker/dealers.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating to the
administration of  the  Company.    Such  costs  are  included  in professional
services to Affiliates, general  and  administrative expenses to Affiliates and
acquisition costs expensed of which $13,854 remained unpaid at March 31, 1997.

As of March 31, 1997, the  Advisor  has  contributed $200,000 to the capital of
the Company for which it received 20,000 Shares.

The Advisor may receive an annual Advisor Asset Management Fee of not more than
1% of the Average Invested Assets, paid  quarterly.   For any year in which the
Company qualifies as a REIT, the  Advisor  must  reimburse the Company:  (i) to
the extent that the Advisor Asset  Management Fee plus Other Operating Expenses
paid during the  previous  calendar  year  exceed  2%  of the Company's Average
Invested Assets for the calendar year  or  25%  of the Company's Net Income for
that calendar year; and (ii) to  the extent that Stockholders have not received
an annual Distribution equal to or greater than the 8% Current Return.  For the
three months ended March 31,  1997,  the  Company has incurred $233,337 of such
fees, all of which remains unpaid at March 31, 1997.

An Affiliate of the Advisor is entitled to receive Property Management Fees for
management and  leasing  services.    The  Company  incurred  and paid Property
Management Fees of $172,537 and  $29,136  for  the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively, all of which has been paid.


(3)    Stock Option and Dealer Warrant Plan

The Company adopted an  Independent  Director  Stock  Option Plan which granted
each Independent Director an option to  acquire  3,000 Shares as of October 19,
1994 and an additional  500  Shares  on  the  date of each annual stockholders'
meeting commencing with the annual meeting  in 1995 if the Independent Director
is a member of the  Board  on  such  date.    The options for the initial 3,000
Shares granted shall be exercisable  as  follows:  1,000  Shares on the date of
grant and 1,000 Shares on  each  of  the  first and second anniversaries of the
date  of  grant.    The  succeeding  options  are  exercisable  on  the  second
anniversary of the date of  grant.    As  of  March 31, 1997, options for 1,000
Shares have been exercised $9.05.

In addition to  sales  commissions,  Soliciting  Dealers  will also receive one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for  each  40  Shares  sold by such Soliciting Dealer
during the offerings, subject to state and federal securities laws.  The holder
of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be  entitled to purchase one Share from the
Company at a price of $12 during the period commencing with the first date upon
which the Soliciting Dealer Warrants  are  issued  and ending upon the first to
occur of: (i) October 14, 1999 or (ii) the closing date of a secondary offering
of the Shares by  the  Company.    Notwithstanding  the foregoing no Soliciting
Dealer Warrant will be exercisable  until  one  year from the date of issuance.
As of December 31, 1996, none of these warrants were exercised.

(4) Investment Properties (continued)

(A) The initial cost to the Company,  represents the original purchase price of
    the property, including amounts  incurred  subsequent to acquisition, which
    were contemplated at the time the property was acquired.

(B) Adjustments  to  basis  includes  additions  to  investment  properties and
    payments received  under  master  lease  agreements.    As  part of several
    purchases, the Company will receive  rent  under master lease agreements on
    the spaces currently vacant for  periods  ranging  from one to two years or
    until the spaces  are  leased.    Generally  Accepted Accounting Principles
    ("GAAP") require that as these payments are received, they be recorded as a
    reduction in the purchase  price  of  the  properties rather than as rental
    income.  The cumulative amount  of  such payments was $642,293 and $570,694
    as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. (Note 5)


(5) Operating Leases


As part of the purchases of several of the properties, the Company will receive
rent under master  lease  agreements  on  spaces  currently  vacant for periods
ranging from one to two years or  until the spaces are leased and tenants begin
paying rent.  GAAP requires  the  Company  to  reduce the purchase price of the
properties as these payments are  received,  rather than record the payments as
rental income.

Certain tenant leases contain provisions  providing for stepped rent increases.
GAAP requires the Company to record  rental  income for the period of occupancy
using the effective monthly rent,  which  is  the  average monthly rent for the
entire period of occupancy  during  the  term  of  the lease.  The accompanying
financial statements include  increases  of  $99,411  and  $7,295 for the three
months ended March 31,  1997  and  1996,  of  rental  income  for the period of
occupancy for which stepped rent  increases  apply and $230,732 and $131,638 in
related accounts  receivable  as  of  March  31,  1997  and  December 31, 1996,
respectively.  The Company anticipates  collecting these amounts over the terms
of the related leases as scheduled rent payments are made.

(1) Organization and Basis of Accounting

Inland Real Estate Corporation (the  "Company")  was  formed on May 12, 1994 to
invest in neighborhood retail  centers  located  within an approximate 150-mile
radius of its  headquarters  in  Oak  Brook,  Illinois.    The Company may also
acquire  single-user  retail  properties  in  locations  throughout  the United
States, certain of which may be  sale and leaseback transactions, net leased to
creditworthy  tenants.    Inland  Real  Estate  Advisory  Services,  Inc.  (the
"Advisor"), an Affiliate of the  Company,  is  the  advisor to the Company.  On
October 14, 1994, the Company commenced  an  initial public offering, on a best
efforts basis, ("Offering") of 5,000,000 shares of common stock ("Shares") at a
price of $10 per Share and 1,000,000 Shares at a price of $9.05 per Share to be
distributed pursuant to  the  Company's  distribution reinvestment program (the
"DRP").  As of July  24,  1996,  the  Company  had received subscriptions for a
total of 5,000,000 Shares, thereby  completing  the  initial Offering.  On July
24, 1996, the Company commenced an offering of an additional 10,000,000 Shares,
on a best efforts basis, (the  "Second Offering")  plus an additional 1,000,000
Shares for distribution through the DRP.   As of December 31, 1996, the Company
had received subscriptions for  a  total  of  3,137,776  Shares from the Second
Offering, resulting in $81,150,311  in  gross offering proceeds, which includes
$1,470,938 received  for  162,534  Shares  purchased  through  the Distribution
Reinvestment Program.  As  of  December  31,  1996, the Company has repurchased
6,350 Shares through the Share Repurchase Program.

The Company qualified as  a  real  estate  investment  trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of  1986,  as  amended,  for  federal income tax purposes
commencing with the tax  year  ending  December  31,  1995.   Since the Company
qualified for taxation as a REIT, the  Company generally will not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent it  distributes its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders.  If the Company fails to  qualify  as a REIT in any taxable year,
the Company will be subject  to  federal  income  tax  on its taxable income at
regular corporate tax rates.  Even  if  the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The preparation of financial  statements  in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company considers all highly  liquid  investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be  cash  equivalents and are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value.   Cash  and  equivalents include $865,521 and $142,720
at December 31, 1996 and  1995,  respectively,  which are held by the Company's
affiliated property manager.  Such  amounts  are  unrestricted  and held in the
Company's name.

Restricted cash at December  31,  1996  represents  amounts  held in escrow for
tenant improvements,  concessions  and  leasing  commissions  at Antioch Plaza.
Such amounts will be added to the  basis of the property as tenant improvements
are completed.  Restricted cash at December 31, 1995 represents amounts held in
escrow for tenant improvements at  Naperville/Hartford  Plaza.  The Company has
recorded a corresponding payable as a component of other liabilities.

The Partnership adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first quarter of 1996.  SFAS
121 requires that the Partnership record  an impairment loss on its property to
be held for investment whenever  its  carrying  value cannot be fully recovered
through estimated undiscounted  future  cash  flows  from  their operations and
sale.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  loss  to  be  recognized  would be the
difference between the property's  carrying  value and the property's estimated
fair value.    The  adoption  of  SFAS  121  did  not  have  any  effect on the
Partnership's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and
improvements are  based  upon  estimated  useful  lives  of  30  years.  Tenant
improvements will be depreciated over the related lease period.

Loan fees are amortized on a straight  line  basis over the life of the related
loans.

Deferred organization costs are amortized over a 60-month period.

Offering costs are offset against  the Stockholders' equity accounts.  Offering
costs consist principally of printing, selling and registration costs.

Rental income is recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over the term of each
lease.  The difference between rental income earned and the cash rent due under
the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable.

The Company believes  that  the  interest  rates  associated with the mortgages
payable and notes payable to  Affiliates  approximate the market interest rates
for these types of debt instruments,  and  as  such, the carrying amount of the
mortgages payable and notes payable to Affiliates approximate their fair value.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and
rents receivable,  accounts  payable  and  other  liabilities, accrued offering
costs to Affiliates, accrued offering costs to non-Affiliates, accrued interest
payable to Affiliates,  accrued  real  estate  taxes, and distributions payable
approximate fair  value  because  of  the  relatively  short  maturity of these
instruments.

Certain amounts in  the  1995  financial  statements  have been reclassified to
conform with the 1996 presentation.   Such reclassifications did not change the
1995 reported results.


(2) Transactions with Affiliates

As of December 31, 1996,  the  Company had incurred $10,500,108 of organization
and offering costs.  Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the offering, the Advisor is
required  to  pay  organizational   and   offering  expenses  (excluding  sales
commissions, the marketing contribution and the due diligence expense allowance
fee) in excess of  5.5%  of  the  gross  proceeds  of  the Offering (the "Gross
Offering  Proceeds")  or  all  organization  and  offering  expenses (including
selling commissions) which together exceed 15%  of gross offering proceeds.  As
of the completion of the initial  Offering, organizational and offering did not
exceed the 5.5% or 15%  limitations.    As of December 31, 1996, organizational
and offering  costs  of  the  Second  Offering  did  exceed  the  5.5%  and 15%
limitations.  The Company anticipates  that  these  costs will not exceed these
limitations upon completion of the  offerings, however, any excess amounts will
be reimbursed by the Advisor.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating to the
Offering.  Such costs  to  Affiliates  incurred  relating  to the offering were
$692,248 and $409,858 as of December  31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of which
$27,976  and  $120,269  were  unpaid   as   of  December  31,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  In  addition,  an  Affiliate  of  the  Advisor  serves as dealer
manager of the  offering  and  is  entitled  to  receive selling commissions, a
marketing contribution and  a  due  diligence  expense  allowance  fee from the
Company in connection with the offering.  Such amounts incurred were $7,403,965
and $1,719,406 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of
which $270,365 and  $102,084  was  unpaid  as  of  December  31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  As  of  December  31,  1996,  approximately  $6,296,000 of these
commissions  had  been  passed  through  from  the  Affiliate  to  unaffiliated
soliciting broker/dealers.

The Advisor and its Affiliates  are  entitled to reimbursement for salaries and
expenses of  employees  of  the  Advisor  and  its  Affiliates  relating to the
administration of  the  Company.    Such  costs  are  included  in professional
services to Affiliates, general  and  administrative expenses to Affiliates and
acquisition costs expensed of which $749 remained unpaid at December 31, 1996.

As of December 31, 1996, the Advisor has contributed $200,000 to the capital of
the Company for which it received 20,000 Shares.

During 1994, the Advisor advanced  $193,300  to  the Company for costs incurred
with the Offering.  These advances  were  repaid to the Advisor in January 1995
with interest ranging from  7.75%  to  9.50%.    The  principal of $193,300 and
interest totaling $3,162 were paid from Gross Offering Proceeds.

The Advisor may receive an annual Advisor Asset Management Fee of not more than
1% of the Average Invested Assets, paid  quarterly.   For any year in which the
Company qualifies as a REIT, the  Advisor  must  reimburse the Company:  (i) to
the extent that the Advisor Asset  Management Fee plus Other Operating Expenses
paid during the  previous  calendar  year  exceed  2%  of the Company's Average
Invested Assets for the calendar year  or  25%  of the Company's Net Income for
that calendar year; and (ii) to  the extent that Stockholders have not received
an annual Distribution equal to or greater than the 8% Current Return.  For the
year ended December 31, 1996, the  Company  has incurred $238,108 of such fees,
all of which remains unpaid at December 31, 1996.

An Affiliate of the Advisor is entitled to receive Property Management Fees for
management and  leasing  services.    The  Company  incurred  and paid Property
Management Fees of $229,307 and $46,791  for  the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, all of which has been paid.

The Company has incurred costs to Affiliates relating to the acquisition of the
properties, of which $16,734 is unpaid at December 31, 1996.

(3) Stock Option and Dealer Warrant Plan

The Company adopted an  Independent  Director  Stock  Option Plan which granted
each Independent Director an option to  acquire  3,000 Shares as of October 19,
1994 and an additional  500  Shares  on  the  date of each annual stockholders'
meeting commencing with the annual meeting  in 1995 if the Independent Director
is a member of the  Board  on  such  date.    The options for the initial 3,000
Shares granted shall be exercisable  as  follows:  1,000  Shares on the date of
grant and 1,000 Shares on  each  of  the  first and second anniversaries of the
date  of  grant.    The  succeeding  options  are  exercisable  on  the  second
anniversary of the date of grant.   As  of December 31, 1996, options for 1,000
Shares have been exercised $9.05.

In addition to  sales  commissions,  Soliciting  Dealers  will also receive one
Soliciting Dealer Warrant for  each  40  Shares  sold by such Soliciting Dealer
during the offerings, subject to state and federal securities laws.  The holder
of a Soliciting Dealer Warrant will be  entitled to purchase one Share from the
Company at a price of $12 during the period commencing with the first date upon
which the Soliciting Dealer Warrants  are  issued  and ending upon the first to
occur of: (i) October 14, 1999 or (ii) the closing date of a secondary offering
of the Shares by  the  Company.    Notwithstanding  the foregoing no Soliciting
Dealer Warrant will be exercisable  until  one  year from the date of issuance.
As of December 31, 1996, none of these warrants were exercised.

(4) Investment Properties (continued)

(A) The initial cost to the Company,  represents the original purchase price of
    the property, including amounts  incurred  subsequent to acquisition, which
    were contemplated at the time the property was acquired.

(B) Adjustments  to  basis  includes  additions  to  investment  properties and
    payments received  under  master  lease  agreements.    As  part of several
    purchases, the Company will receive  rent  under master lease agreements on
    the spaces currently vacant for  periods  ranging  from one to two years or
    until the spaces  are  leased.    Generally  Accepted Accounting Principles
    ("GAAP") require that as these payments are received, they be recorded as a
    reduction in the purchase  price  of  the  properties rather than as rental
    income.  As of December  31,  1996,  the cumulative amount of such payments
    was $570,694. (Note 5)

(5) Operating Leases

Master Lease Agreements

As part of the purchases of several of the properties, the Company will receive
rent under master  lease  agreements  on  spaces  currently  vacant for periods
ranging from one to two years or  until the spaces are leased and tenants begin
paying rent.  GAAP requires  the  Company  to  reduce the purchase price of the
properties as these payments are  received,  rather than record the payments as
rental income.

Minimum lease payments under  operating  leases  to  be received in the future,
excluding rental income under master  lease agreements and assuming no expiring
leases are renewed:

                                                                   Number of

No assumptions were made regarding the releasing  of expired leases.  It is the
opinion of the Company's management that  the  space will be released at market
rates.

Remaining lease terms range from one year to thirty two years.  Pursuant to the
lease agreements, tenants of the property are required to reimburse the Company
for some or all of their pro rata  share of the real estate taxes and operating
expenses of the  property.    Such  amounts  are  included in additional rental
income.

Certain tenant leases contain provisions  providing for stepped rent increases.
GAAP requires the Company to record  rental  income for the period of occupancy
using the effective monthly rent,  which  is  the  average monthly rent for the
entire period of occupancy  during  the  term  of  the lease.  The accompanying
financial statements include  increases  of  $119,225  and  $12,413 in 1996 and
1995, of rental income  for  the  period  of  occupancy  for which stepped rent
increases apply and $131,638 and  $12,413  in related accounts receivable as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.   The Company anticipates collecting
these amounts over the terms of  the  related leases as scheduled rent payments
are made.

(A) The  1997  Historical  column   represents   the  historical  statement  of
    operations of  the  Company  for  the  three  months  ended  March 31, 1997
    (unaudited), as filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q.

(B) Total pro forma adjustments for the  three  months ended March 31, 1997 are
    as though the 1997  acquisitions  of  the  following properties occurred on
    January 1, 1997 on an all cash  basis except for Maple Park, Aurora Commons
    and Lincoln Park Place.  Proforma adjustments for interest expense on these
    properties were based on the following terms. 

    Maple Park Shopping Center

    The Company funded the purchase using (i) the proceeds of a short-term loan
    maturing April 7, 1997 in  the  amount  of  $8 million from Inland Mortgage
    Investment Corporation ("IMIC"), an  affiliate  of the Company (the "Short-
    Term Loan"), and (ii) cash and cash equivalents.  The Short-Term Loan bears
    interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum and requires a loan fee of 1/4%.  

    Aurora Commons Shopping Center

    As part of the acquisition  of  Aurora Commons Shopping Center, the Company
    assumed the existing mortgage  loan,  maturing  December 31, 2001, with the
    balance funded with cash and cash  equivalents.  The loan bears interest at
    a rate of 9% per annum  with  monthly payments of principal and interest on
    the first day of each month.

    Lincoln Park Place Shopping Center

    The Company funded the purchase of Lincoln Park Place Shopping Center using
    the proceeds of a short-term loan  maturing  February 7, 1997 in the amount
    of $2,016,110  from  Inland  Mortgage  Investment  Corporation ("IMIC"), an
    affiliate of the Company (the "Short-Term  Loan").  The Company did not pay
    any fees in connection with the  Short-Term Loan, which bears interest at a
    rate of 9% per annum.

                  Notes to Pro Forma Statement of Operations
                     For the year ended December 31, 1996
                                  (unaudited)

(A) The  1996  Historical  column   represents   the  historical  statement  of
    operations of the Company for  the  year  ended December 31, 1996, as filed
    with the SEC on Form 10-K.

(B) Total pro forma adjustments for  the  year  ended  December 31, 1996 are as
    though the  1996  acquisitions  of  the  following  properties  occurred on
    January 1, 1996 on an  all  cash  basis  except for Regency Point, Hawthorn
    Village Commons, Crestwood and  Lansing  Square.   Proforma adjustments for
    interest expense on these properties were based on the following terms.

    Regency Point

    In the purchase of  Regency  Point  the  Company assumed the existing first
    mortgage loan  of  $4,473,200,  along  with  a  related  interest rate swap
    agreement. The first mortgage  loan  has  a  floating  interest rate of 180
    basis points over the 30-day  LIBOR  rate,  which rate is adjusted monthly.
    The interest rate swap agreement,  in  conjunction with the first mortgage,
    provides for Bank One, Chicago, to  receive  from or pay to the Company the
    difference between 6.11%  and  the  30-day  LIBOR  rate,  so that the first
    mortgage loan has an effective  rate  of  7.91%  per  annum.  The pro forma
    adjustment for interest expense for  1996 was estimated using the described
    loan terms.  The  related  interest  rate  swap agreement was terminated on
    April 18, 1996 resulting in $48,419 proceeds to the Company.  The pro forma
    adjustment does not give effect to the termination of this agreement.

    Hawthorn Village Commons

    The Company funded the purchase of  Hawthorn Village Commons using: (i) the
    proceeds of a short-term loan  maturing  August  23,  1996 in the amount of
    $2.9 million  from  Inland  Mortgage  Investment  Corporation  ("IMIC"), an
    Affiliate of the Company (the  "Short-Term  Loan"),  and (ii) cash and cash
    equivalents.  The Company  did  not  pay  any  fees  in connection with the
    Short-Term Loan, which bears interest at a rate of eight percent per annum.

    Crestwood Plaza Shopping Center

    As part of the December 27,  1996  purchase of Crestwood Plaza, the Company
    assumed the existing first mortgage loan of $1,330,253.

                                  (unaudited)


    Lansing Square Shopping Center

    The Company funded the purchase  using:  (i) the proceeds of five long-term
    loans  totaling  $12,850,000  from  LaSalle  Bank  of  which  approximately
    $8,000,000 was used  to  purchase  this  property  and  (ii)  cash and cash
    equivalents.  The Company paid  a  one  point  fee in connection with these
    long-term loans. The loans have  a  term  of  seven years and, prior to the
    maturity date, require payments of  interest  only, at 7.6%, fixed for five
    years with the remaining two years at prime plus 1/2%.


    Total pro forma adjustments for  1996  acquisitions are as though they were
    acquired the earlier of January  1,  1996 or date that operations commenced
    (related to Zany Brainy).

                               Maple Park Place
   Notes to Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses
                         Year ended December 31, 1996


1.  Business

    Maple Park Place (Maple  Park)  is  located  in  Bolingbrook, Illinois.  It
    consists of approximately 220,000  square  feet  of gross leasable area and
    was 100% leased and  occupied  at  December  31,  1996.  Inland Real Estate
    Corporation has signed a sale  and  purchase  agreement for the purchase of
    Maple Park from an unaffiliated third party (Seller). 

2.  Basis of Presentation

    The Historical  Summary  of  Gross  Income  and  Direct  Operating Expenses
    (Historical Summary) has been  prepared  for  the purpose of complying with
    Rule 3-14 of the Securities and  Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and for
    inclusion in the Registration Statement on  Form S-11 of Inland Real Estate
    Corporation and is not  intended  to  be  a  complete presentation of Maple
    Park's revenues and expenses.  The  Historical Summary has been prepared on
    the accrual basis of accounting  and  requires  management of Maple Park to
    make estimates and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported amounts of the
    revenues and expenses during  the  reporting  period.    Actual results may
    differ from those estimates.

3.  Gross Income

    Maple Park leases  retail  space  under  various  lease agreements with its
    tenants.  All leases are accounted for as operating leases.  Certain of the
    leases include provisions under which  Maple  Park is reimbursed for common
    area, real estate, and insurance  costs.   In addition, Maple Park collects
    common area  and  insurance  costs  from  a  tenant  of  the parcel located
    adjacent to Maple Park.  Operating  expenses and real estate tax recoveries
    reflected in the Historical Summary  include  amounts for 1996 expenses for
    which the tenants have not yet been billed.  Certain leases contain renewal
    options for various periods at various rental rates.

    Base rentals are reported  as  income  over  the  lease term as they become
    receivable under the provisions of the  leases.  However, when rentals vary
    from a straight-line basis due  to short-term rent abatements or escalating
    rents during the lease term,  the  income  is recognized based on effective
    rental rates.  Related adjustments  increased base rental income by $43,819
    for the year ended December 31, 1996.

    Minimum rents to be received from  tenants under operating leases in effect
    at December 31, 1996 are as follows: 

                                Year           Amount

                              Thereafter     20,758,807
                                            -----------
                                            $28,890,990
                                            ===========


4.  Direct Operating Expenses

    Direct  operating  expenses  include  only   those  costs  expected  to  be
    comparable to the proposed future operations  of Maple Park.  Costs such as
    mortgage interest, depreciation,  amortization,  and  professional fees are
    excluded from the Historical Summary.

    Maple Park has not received its final  real estate tax bill for 1996.  Real
    estate tax expense is estimated based  upon bills for 1995.  The difference
    between this estimate and the final bill is not expected to have a material
    impact on the Historical Summary.

    Maple Park is managed pursuant to  the  terms of a management agreement for
    an annual fee of 3.75% of  rental  income (as defined), less a deduction of
    $10,000 for unleased space during the  year, plus a fixed amount of $20,000
    for the salary of the property  manager.    Subsequent to the sale of Maple
    Park (note 1),  the  current  management  agreement  will  cease.   Any new
    management agreement may cause  future  management  fees to differ from the
    amounts reflected in the Historical Summary.

4.  Direct Operating Expenses

    Direct  operating  expenses  include  only   those  costs  expected  to  be
    comparable to the proposed future  operations  of  Cobblers.  Costs such as
    mortgage  interest,  depreciation,   amortization,   management  fees,  and
    professional fees are excluded from the Historical Summary.

    Cobblers has not received its final  real  estate  tax bill for 1996.  Real
    estate tax expense is estimated based  upon  the 1995 bill.  The difference
    between this estimate  and  the  final  bill  is  not  expected  to  have a
    material impact on the Historical Summary.

                                 Mallard Mall
   Notes to Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses
                         Year ended December 31, 1996


1.  Business

    Mallard Mall (Mallard)  is  located  in  Elk  Grove  Village, Illinois.  It
    consists of approximately 83,000 square feet of gross leasable area and was
    approximately 92% leased and occupied  at  December  31, 1996.  Inland Real
    Estate Corporation  has  signed  a  sale  and  purchase  agreement  for the
    purchase of Mallard from an unaffiliated third party (Seller). 

2.  Basis of Presentation

    The Historical  Summary  of  Gross  Income  and  Direct  Operating Expenses
    (Historical Summary) has been  prepared  for  the purpose of complying with
    Rule 3-14 of the Securities and  Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and for
    inclusion in the Registration Statement on  Form S-11 of Inland Real Estate
    Corporation and is not intended to  be a complete presentation of Mallard's
    revenues and expenses.   The  Historical  Summary  has been prepared on the
    accrual basis of  accounting  and  requires  management  of Mallard to make
    estimates and assumptions that affect  the reported amounts of the revenues
    and expenses during the reporting  period.   Actual results may differ from
    those estimates.

3.  Gross Income

    Mallard  leases  retail  space  under  various  lease  agreements  with its
    tenants.  All leases are  accounted  for  as  operating leases.  The leases
    include provisions under which Mallard  is reimbursed for common area, real
    estate, and  insurance  costs.    Operating  expenses  and  real estate tax
    recoveries reflected in  the  Historical  Summary  include amounts for 1996
    expenses for which the tenants  have  not  yet been billed.  Certain leases
    contain renewal options for various periods at various rental rates.

    Base rentals are reported  as  income  over  the  lease term as they become
    receivable under the lease provisions.    However, when rentals vary from a
    straight-line basis due to  short-term  rent abatements or escalating rents
    during the lease term, the  income  is recognized based on effective rental
    rates.  Related adjustments increased base  rental income by $4,632 for the
    year ended December 31, 1996.

    Sequoia is managed pursuant to  the  terms of a verbal management agreement
    for an annual fee of 4% of  gross revenues (as defined).  Subsequent to the
    sale of Sequoia (note 1), the current management agreement will cease.  Any
    new management agreement may  cause  future  management fees to differ from
    the amounts reflected in the Historical Summary.

    to make estimates and assumptions  that  affect the reported amounts of the
    revenues and expenses  during  the  reporting  period.   Actual results may
    differ from those estimates.

3.  Gross Income

    River Square leases retail  space  under  various lease agreements with its
    tenants.  All leases are  accounted  for  as  operating leases.  The leases
    include provisions under which River  Square  is reimbursed for common area
    and real  estate  tax  costs.    Operating  expenses  and  real  estate tax
    recoveries reflected in  the  Historical  Summary  include amounts for 1996
    expenses for which the tenants have not yet been billed.

    Base rentals are reported  as  income  over  the  lease term as they become
    receivable under the lease provisions.    However, when rentals vary from a
    straight-line basis due to  short-term  rent abatements or escalating rents
    during the lease term, the  income  is recognized based on effective rental
    rates.  Related adjustments increased base rental income by $54,318 for the
    year ended December 31, 1996.

4.  Direct Operating Expenses

    Direct  operating  expenses  include  only   those  costs  expected  to  be
    comparable to the proposed future  operations  of River Square.  Costs such
    as mortgage interest, depreciation,  amortization and professional fees are
    excluded from the Historical Summary.

    River Square has not  received  its  final  real  estate tax bill for 1996.
    Real estate tax  expense  is  estimated  based  upon  bills  for 1995.  The
    difference between this estimate  and  the  final  bill  is not expected to
    have a material impact on the Historical Summary.  

    River Square is managed pursuant to the terms of a management agreement for
    an annual fee of 3% of gross revenues (as defined).  Subsequent to the sale
    of River Square (note 1), the current management agreement will cease.  Any
    new management agreement may  cause  future  management fees to differ from
    the amounts reflected in the Historical Summary.

                           PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES



     The prior performance tables contain information concerning public real
estate limited partnerships sponsored by Affiliates of the Advisor.  This
information has been summarized, in part, in narrative form under "Prior
Performance of the Company's Affiliates."   The purpose of the tables is to
provide information on the performance of those partnerships in evaluating the
experience of the Affiliates of the Advisor  as sponsors of such programs.
However, the inclusion of these tables does not imply that the Company will
make investments comparable to those reflected in the tables or that investors
in the Company will experience return comparable to those experienced in the
programs referred to in these tables.   Persons who purchase Shares in the
Company will not thereby acquire any ownership in any of the partnerships to
which these tables relate. The tables consist of:


     Table I    Experience in Raising and Investing Funds
     
     Table II   Compensation to IREIC and Affiliates
     
     Table III  Operating Results of Prior Programs
     
     Table IV   Results of Completed Programs
     
     Table V    Sales or Disposals of Properties
     
     Table VI   Acquisition of Properties by Programs*

   * Prospective investors in the Company may obtain copies of Table VI
     by contacting the Advisor.

     Except with respect to Inland Land Appreciation Fund, L.P., Inland Land
Appreciation Fund II, L.P., and Inland Capital Fund, L.P. the partnerships
presented in the tables are public real estate limited partnership formed
primarily to acquire, operate and sell existing residential and commercial real
properties. Generally, the investment objectives of those partnerships were as
follows:

     (1)  Capital appreciation; and
     (2)  Cash distributions for limited partners.
     
     In addition, with respect to private limited partnerships, an objective
was the generation of tax loss deductions which generally will be used to
offset taxable income from other sources.

     The Company's investment  objectives  are  to:   (i) provide regular
Distributions to Stockholders in amounts which may exceed the Company's taxable
income due to the non-cash nature of depreciation expense and, to such extent,
will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital, but in no event less than 95%
of the Company's taxable  income,  pursuant  to the REIT qualification
requirements; (ii) provide a hedge against inflation by entering into leases
which contain clauses for scheduled rent escalations or participation in the
growth of tenant sales, permitting the Company to increase Distributions and
provide capital appreciation; and (iii) preserve Stockholders' capital.

                               NOTES TO TABLE III

   (A)  "Taxable income (loss)" represents the aggregate amounts shown on
        the partnership's tax returns for such years.  One of the principal
        differences between the tax basis of reporting and generally accepted
        accounting principles (GAAP) is that depreciation is based upon the
        rates established by the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) for
        property placed in service after January 1, 1981.  Use of ACRS usually
        results in a higher charge against operations than would be the result
        if the depreciation rate was based upon the economic useful life as
        required by GAAP.  Further, under GAAP, to the extent that interest
        rates on notes received in connection with the sale of a property are
        deemed to be below market interest rates at the date of sale, such
        notes would be required to be discounted based upon market interest
        rates.

   (B)  See Table V and Notes thereto regarding sales and disposals of
        properties.

   (C)  Fixed asset additions represent betterments and improvements to
        properties which have been paid for from the operations of the
        respective properties.

   (D)  Tax data per $1,000 is based on the income (loss) allocated to
        investors for federal income tax purposes.  Tax and distribution data
        per $1,000 invested is based on total capital raised.

   (E)  Percent of properties remaining unsold represents original total
        acquisition costs of properties retained divided by original total
        acquisition cost of all properties in the program, plus the total of
        uninvested offering proceeds (if any).  (F) "Cash Available
        (Deficiency) from Operations," represents all cash revenues and funds
        received by the partnerships, including but not limited to operating
        income less operating expenses, and interest income.  These amounts do
        not include payments made by the partnerships from offering proceeds
        nor do they include proceeds from sales or refinancings.  These amounts
        also exclude advances from or repayments to IREIC and affiliates which
        are disclosed elsewhere in the table and include principal payments on
        long-term debt.  For example:

                               NOTES TO TABLE III


   (G)  Each entity established a unit repurchase program which provides
        limited liquidity to eligible investors  who have suffered severe
        adverse financial conditions or who have died or become legally
        incapacitated.  These funds were utilized by the partnerships to
        repurchase units, on a limited basis, for pre-determined amounts
        pursuant to the terms of the prospectus.

                                NOTES TO TABLE V


   (A)  The table includes all sales of properties by the partnerships
        during the  three years ended December 31, 1996.  All sales have
        been made to parties  unaffiliated with the partnership.
        
   (B)  Consists of cash payments received from  the buyers and the
        assumption of  certain liabilities by the buyers at  the  date of
        sale, less expenses of  sale.
        
   (C)  The stated principal amount  of  the  notes  is  shown in the
        table under  "Secured Notes Received at Sale."   All sales with
        notes received at sale  are being reported for tax purposes on the
        installment basis.
        
   (D)  Amounts represent the dollar amount  raised from the offerings
        of limited  partnership units, less sales commissions and other
        offering expenses.
   (E)  Represents  "Cash  Available   (Deficiency)  from  Operations
        (including  subsidies)" as adjusted  for  applicable  "Fixed Asset
        Additions" through  the year of sale.
        
   (F)  As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership has sold all of the
        thirty-eight  six-unit  condominium   buildings   comprising   the
        Schaumburg  Terrace  condominium complex  to  unaffiliated  third
        parties.    The partnership  received $249,596 from one  all  cash
        sale  in  1994.   In addition, the  Partnership received  $823,518
        in  down  payment  proceeds, and provided  mortgage loans totaling
        $8,701,439 to the purchasers for the thirty-seven  additional
        sales.   The  principal  balances  of  these  loans range from
        approximately  $211,000  to  $256,000.     These  loans  require
        monthly  principal and interest payments totaling $67,763 with an
        interest rate of  8.625% per annum for ten years  (based on a
        thirty year amortization) and  payment of all remaining principal
        at the end of that period.

                        INLAND REAL ESTATE CORPORATION
                      DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PROGRAM


     Inland Real Estate Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
pursuant to its Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as amended (the
"Articles") has adopted a Distribution Reinvestment Program (the "DRP"), the
terms and conditions of which are set forth below.  Capitalized terms shall
have the same meaning as set forth in the Articles unless otherwise defined
herein.

          i.           As agent for the Stockholders who purchased Shares
                  pursuant to the Company's prior public offerings, the first
                  of which commenced October 14, 1994 and was completed on July
                  22, 1996 and the second of which commenced on July 24, 1996
                  (the "Prior Offerings") and the current offering of Shares by
                  the Company pursuant to the prospectus dated July 14, 1997
                  (the "Offering") and elect to participate in the DRP (the
                  "Participants"), the Company will apply all distributions,
                  paid with respect to the Shares held by each Participant (the
                  "Distributions"), including Distributions paid with respect
                  to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the DRP, to
                  the purchase of the Shares for said Participants directly, if
                  permitted under state securities laws and, if not, through
                  the Dealer-Manager or Participating Dealers registered in the
                  Participant's state of residence.  Neither the Company nor
                  its Affiliates will receive a fee for selling Shares under
                  the DRP.

         ii.           Procedure for Participation.  Any Stockholder who
                  purchased Shares pursuant to the Company's Prior Offerings or
                  this Offering may elect to become a Participant by completing
                  and executing the Subscription Agreement or other appropriate
                  authorization form as may be available from the Company, the
                  Dealer-Manager or Soliciting Dealer.  Participation in the
                  DRP will begin with the next Distribution payable after
                  receipt of a Participant's subscription or authorization.
                  Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the record date for
                  the Distribution used to purchase the Shares.  Distributions
                  for Shares acquired under the DRP are currently paid monthly
                  and are calculated with a daily record and Distribution
                  declaration date.  Each Participant agrees that if, at any
                  time prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock
                  exchange or inclusion of the Shares for quotation on a
                  national  market system, he fails to meet the suitability
                  requirements for making an investment in the Company or
                  cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth
                  in the Subscription Agreement, he will promptly so notify the
                  Company in writing.

        iii.           Purchase of Shares.  Participants will acquire Shares
                  from the Company at a fixed price of $9.50 per Share until
                  the termination of the Offering.  Participants in the DRP may
                  also purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the
                  Distributions will be used to acquire Shares.  However, a
                  Participant will not be able to acquire Shares under the DRP
                  to the extent such purchase would cause it to exceed the
                  Ownership Limit.













                                     B-1



     It is possible that a secondary market will develop for the Shares, and
that the Shares may be bought and sold on the secondary market at prices lower
or higher than the $9.50 per Share price which will be paid under the DRP.
        
     The Company shall endeavor to acquire Shares on behalf of Participants at
the lowest price then available.  However, the Company does not guarantee or
warrant that the Participant will be acquiring Shares at the lowest possible
price.

     If the Company's Shares are listed on a national stock exchange or
included for quotation on a national market system, Shares purchased by the
Company for the DRP will be purchased on such exchange or market, at the
prevailing market price, and will be sold to Stockholders at such price.  The
reservation of any Shares from this Offering remaining for issuance under the
DRP will be canceled.  The Shares will continue to have the status of
authorized but unissued Shares.  These Shares will not be issued unless they
are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Act and under appropriate state securities laws or are
otherwise issued in compliance with such laws.

     It is understood that reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve a
Participant of any income tax liability which may be payable on the
Distributions.

         iv.           Share Certificates.  Within 90 days after the end of the
                  Company's fiscal year, the Company will issue certificates
                  evidencing ownership of Shares purchased through the DRP
                  during the prior fiscal year.  The ownership of the Shares
                  will be in book-entry form prior to the issuance of such
                  certificates.

          v.           Reports.  Within 90 days after the end of the Company's
                  fiscal year, the Company will provide each Participant with
                  an individualized report on his or her investment, including
                  the purchase date(s), purchase price and number of Shares
                  owned, as well as the dates of distribution and amounts of
                  Distributions received during the prior fiscal year.  The
                  individualized statement to Stockholders will include
                  receipts and purchases relating to each Participant's
                  participation in the DRP including the tax consequences
                  relative thereto.

         vi.           Termination by Participant.  A Participant may terminate
                  participation in the DRP at any time, without penalty, by
                  delivering to the Company a written notice.  Prior to listing
                  of the Shares on a national stock exchange or inclusion of
                  the Shares for quotation on a national market system, any
                  transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will
                  terminate participation in the DRP with respect to the
                  transferred Shares.  If a Participant terminates DRP
                  participation, the Company will provide the terminating
                  Participant with a certificate evidencing the whole shares in
                  his or her account and a check for the cash value of any
                  fractional share in such account.  Upon termination of DRP
                  participation, Distributions will be distributed to the
                  Stockholder in cash.

        vii.           Amendment or Termination of DRP by the Company.  The

       viii.           Liability of the Company.  The Company shall not be 
                  liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith
                  omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims or
                  liability:  (a) arising out of failure to terminate a
                  Participant's account upon such Participant's death prior to
                  receipt of notice in writing of such death; and (b) with
                  respect to the time and the prices at which Shares are

                  the Act or the securities act of a state, the Company has been
                  advised that, in the opinion of the Commission and certain
                  state securities commissioners, such indemnification is
                  contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.
        
         ix.           Governing Law.  This DRP shall be governed by the laws
                  of the State of Maryland.

Item 32.  Sales to Special Parties.

     Employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates will be
permitted to purchase Shares net of sales commissions.  Prior to the time that
the Minimum Number of Shares is sold, such persons may be required to pay $10
per Share and will receive a return of the commission amount promptly upon the
receipt of subscriptions for the Minimum Number of Shares.

Item 33.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

     On May 12, 1994, Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc. (the "Advisor")
acquired 100 Shares at a price of $10 per Share, paid in cash.  No sales
commission or other consideration was paid in connection with such sale, which
was effective without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of
the Act as a transaction not involving any public offering.  On May 25, 1994 the
Advisor purchased an additional 19,900 Shares at a price of $10 per Share, paid
in cash.  No sales commission or other consideration was paid in connection with
such sale, and the sale was made in reliance upon the exemption from
registration in Section 4(2) of the Act.

     Options to purchase up to 19,500 Shares (including options granted to
former Independent Directors) have been granted as of the date of this
Prospectus to the Independent Directors pursuant to the Independent Director
Stock Option Plan, 1,000 Shares of which have been issued in connection with the
exercise of options.

Item 34.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The Company's Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement and Bylaws
authorize it, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland statutory or
decisional law, as amended or interpreted and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in accordance with Section 2-418 of the Maryland General
Corporation Law, to indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses to: any
Director, Advisor or Affiliate (each an "Indemnified Party"), provided, that:
(i) the Director, Advisor or Affiliate have  determined, in good faith, that the
course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of
the Company; (ii) the Director, the Advisor or Affiliate were acting on behalf
of or performing services on the part of the Company; (iii) such liability or
loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the
Indemnified Party, except that in the event the Indemnified Party is or was an
Independent Director, such liability or loss shall not have been the result of
gross negligence or willful misconduct; and (iv) such indemnification or
agreement to be held harmless is recoverable only out of the assets of the
Company and not from the Stockholders.  The Company shall not indemnify a
Director, the Advisor or Affiliate for losses, liabilities or expenses arising
from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such
party unless one or more of the following conditions are met:  (i) there has
been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged
securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (ii) such claims have
been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction
as to the particular indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the
settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the
request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") and the published opinions of the Tennessee
Securities Division and any other state securities regulatory authority in which
securities of the Company were offered and sold as to indemnification for
securities law violations.

     The Company may advance amounts to persons entitled to indemnification
hereunder for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any
legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the
following conditions are satisfied:  (i) the legal action relates to acts or
omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the
indemnified party for or on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is
initiated by a third party who is not a Stockholder or the legal action is
initiated by a Stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of
competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the
indemnified party receiving such advances undertakes to repay the advanced funds
to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in
cases in which such party is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

     The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of an indemnified party against any liability asserted which was incurred
in any such capacity with the Company or arising out of such status; provided,
however, that the Company shall not incur the costs of any liability insurance
which insures any person against liability for which he, she or it could not be
indemnified under the Articles.

     Neither the amendment nor the adoption of any other provision of the
Articles or the Bylaws shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability
of indemnification with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred
prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.


                            II - ii


     To the extent that the indemnification may apply to liabilities arising
under the Act, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore,
unenforceable.

Item 37.  Undertakings.

     A.   The Registrant undertakes:

               (a)  to file any prospectuses required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
               Act as post-effective amendments to this Registration Statement;
               
               (b)  that for the purpose of determining any liability under the
               Act, each such post-effective amendment may be deemed to be a new
               registration statement relating to the securities offered therein
               and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
               to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
               
               (c)  that all post-effective amendments will comply with the
               applicable forms, rules and regulations of the Commission in
               effect at the time such post-effective amendments are filed; and
               
               (d)  to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
               amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
               unsold at the termination of the offering.

     B.   The Registrant undertakes to file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement to:  (a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act; (b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
and (c) include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

     C.   The Registrant undertakes to send to each Stockholder at least on an
annual basis a detailed statement of any transactions with the Advisor or its
Affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensation and other benefits paid or
accrued to the Advisor or its Affiliates for the fiscal year completed, showing
the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services performed.

     D.   The Registrant undertakes to provide to the Stockholders the financial
statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of operations
of the Company.

                            II - vii


     E.   The Registrant hereby undertakes to send to the Stockholders, within
60 days after the close of each quarterly fiscal period, the information
specified by Form 10-Q, if such report is required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     F.   The Registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement pursuant to
Rule 424(c) under the Act during the distribution period describing each
property not identified in the prospectus at such time as there arises a
reasonable probability that such property will be acquired and to consolidate
all such stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every
three months, with the information contained in such amendment provided
simultaneously to the existing Stockholders.  Each sticker supplement should
also disclose all compensation and fees received by the Advisor and its
Affiliates in connection with any such acquisition.  The post-effective
amendment shall include audited financial statements meeting the requirements of
Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X only for properties acquired during the distribution
period.

     The Registrant also undertakes to file, after the end of the distribution
period, a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial statements and any
additional information required by Rule 3.14 of Regulation S-X, to reflect each
commitment (i.e., the signing of a binding purchase agreement) made after the
end of the distribution period involving the use of 10 % or more (on a
cumulative basis) of the net proceeds of the offering and to provide the
information contained in such report to the Stockholders at least once each
quarter after the distribution period of the offering has ended.

     G.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

                              ARTICLE IV
                            CLOSING MATTERS

     4.1  Survey.  No later than ten (10) days following the date
hereof Seller shall deliver the Survey to Purchaser, at Seller's sole
cost and expense.  The Survey shall be dated no earlier than December
20, 1996, shall show no encroachments by or from the Real Property
onto any adjacent property and no violation of or encroachments upon
any recorded building lines, restriction, zoning set-backs, or
easements affecting the Real Property.  If the Survey discloses any
such unpermitted encroachment or violation or any exceptions to title
or matters indicating possible rights of third parties other than the
Permitted Title Exceptions and the same are not acceptable to
Purchaser, or if Purchaser desires to have the surveyor's
certification revised in a reasonable manner, then, within five (5)
days from Purchaser's receipt of the Survey, Purchaser must so notify
Seller.  If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller within said five (5)
day period, the Survey will be conclusively deemed to be approved by
Purchaser.  If, within said five (5) day period Purchaser notifies
Seller that the Survey does not comply with the terms of this
Agreement (which notification must specify in what respects the Survey
does not so comply or that the certification should be revised),
Seller shall have ten (10) days from the date of delivery of
Purchaser's notice to have the Title Insurer issue its endorsements
insuring against damage caused by such encroachments, violations or
unpermitted exceptions and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, or
to have the surveyor's certification revised, as applicable, and if
Seller fails to do so, and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser,
within said ten (10) day period, Purchaser may elect within ten (10)
days after the expiration of Seller's ten (10) day cure period to (i)
terminate this Agreement and thereafter there shall be no further
liability of either party
                                   
                                  -4-

hereunder (in which event the Deposit shall promptly be returned to
purchaser) or (ii) accept the Real Property subject to such encroachments,
violations and unpermitted exceptions or the unrevised surveyor's
certification, as applicable, without any diminution of the Purchase Price.
Purchaser's failure to make any election within said ten (10) day period
shall be conclusively deemed to mean that Purchaser has elected the option
contained in subsection (i) of this Section 4.1.

     4.2  Title.  No later than fourteen (14) days following the date
hereof, Seller shall deliver the Title Commitment to Purchaser, along
with copies of all documents constituting Permitted Exceptions, at
Seller's sole cost and expense.  If the Title Commitment discloses
exceptions to title other than the Permitted Title Exceptions
("Unpermitted Title Exceptions") and such Unpermitted Title Exceptions
are not acceptable to Purchaser, then, within ten (10) days from
Purchaser's receipt of the Title Commitment, Purchaser must so notify
Seller.  If Purchaser fails to so notify Seller within said ten (10)
day period, the Unpermitted Title Exceptions will be conclusively
deemed to be approved by Purchaser.  If, within said ten (10) day
period, Purchaser shall notify Seller that all or certain of the
Unpermitted Title Exceptions are not acceptable to Purchaser(which
notification must specify which Unpermitted Title Exceptions are so
unacceptable), Seller shall have ten (10) days from the date of
Purchaser's notice to have such exceptions removed from the Title
Commitment or cause the Title Insurer to insure Purchaser against same
and provide evidence thereof to Purchaser, and if Seller fails to have
such exceptions removed, or insured over, Purchaser may elect, within
ten (10) days after the expiration of Seller's ten (10) day cure
period to (i) terminate this Agreement without liability on the part
of any party thereafter (in which event the Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Purchaser), or (ii) accept title subject to such
Unpermitted Title Exceptions without any diminution of the Purchase
Price.  Purchaser's failure to make any election within said ten (10)
day period shall be conclusively deemed to mean that Purchaser has
elected the option contained in subsection (i) of this Section 4.2. On
the Closing Date, at the expense of Seller as set forth in Section 4.2
hereof, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer to issue an owner's title
insurance policy or prepaid commitment therefor pursuant to and in
accordance with the Title Commitment insuring fee simple title to the
Real Property in Purchaser or its designee as of the Closing Date,
subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions and such other exceptions
as Purchaser may approve.  If Seller is unable to cause the Title Insurer
to issue any of the Endorsements and Purchaser refuses to waive the
requirement therefor, then this Agreement shall become null and void and
of no further force or effect, and the Deposit will be returned to
Purchaser. Additionally, Seller will have no obligation to obtain any of
the Endorsements if the Title Insurer charges other than standard rates
for the coverage or if the Title Insurer requires security or an indemnity
from Seller in order to issue any of the Endorsements.

     If Purchaser shall make objection to the Survey (as described in
Section 4. 1) or the Title Commitment (as described in this Section 4.2)
and the Closing Date was to occur prior to the time each party was able
to exercise its rights under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, as applicable,
then the Closing Date will be extended to a date which is three (3)
business days subsequent to the latest date for notice, objection and
remedy permitted by either Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable.
                                   
                                  -5-

     4.3  Possession, Prorations and Expenses, and New Leases.

          (a)  Sole and exclusive possession of the Property, subject
only to the rights of the tenants under the Leases, shall be delivered
to Purchaser on the Closing Date.  Any vacant space will be placed
into Rent Ready Condition, which is defined to be that all walls are
patched and freshly painted, each space to be demised has a fully-
fixtured and operable bathroom, and all doors have locks and are
operable, the ceiling is completed with acoustical tile and standard
fluorescent lighting and the floor is in broom-clean condition.
          
          (b)  The parties shall commence closing the transaction
contemplated herein in what is commonly referred to as a "dry closing"
on the day prior to the Closing Date as defined herein.  At such "dry
closing" all documents will be deposited into the closing escrow and
all prorations will be established effective the date of the "dry
closing" ("Proration Date").  The balance of the Purchase price as
determined at the end of the "dry closing" is to be deposited in
immediately available funds with the Title Insurer by 12:00 noon on
the Closing Date, as required by Section 4.5(d) hereof.  If Purchaser
fails to deposit the balance of the Purchase Price by 12:00 noon on
the Closing Date, as aforesaid, and if Seller does not terminate this
Contract for such default of Purchaser and the Closing occurs, the
Proration Date shall be concurrent with the Closing Date and all
prorations will be calculated as of the end of the day on the Closing
Date.
          
          (c)  Fixed Rent, Percentage Rent and tenant common area
maintenance and other expense contributions to be made by tenants
shall be prorated as follows:
          
               (i)  Fixed Rent - prepaid Fixed Rent will be prorated
     as of the Proration Date with Seller being entitled to Fixed Rent
     for the Proration Date and Purchaser being entitled to Fixed Rent
     thereafter.  All other Fixed Rent which is delinquent on the
     Proration Date will not be prorated.  All such arrearages of
     Fixed Rent unpaid on the Proration Date will remain the sole and
     exclusive property of Seller after Closing, provided, however,
     if, after Closing, Seller shall receive any such delinquent Fixed
     Rent, Seller will remit to Purchaser that portion of such
     delinquent Fixed Rent that is attributable to the period after
     the Proration Date, if any.  Seller shall retain all right,
     title, power and authority to enforce payment thereof after
     Closing, except that Seller will not have the right to terminate
     the Lease of a delinquent tenant after Closing due to such
     delinquency.  If, after Closing, Purchaser or its designee shall
     receive any delinquent Fixed Rents (this provision shall not
     relate to percentage rents) Purchaser may first apply such
     payments to rent delinquencies which relate to any period after
     the Proration Date, and Purchaser agrees, on its behalf and on
     behalf of its designee, to immediately remit the balance to
     Seller.
               
               (ii) Percentage Rent - Percentage Rent which is due but
     unpaid at Closing and accrued Percentage Rent not yet payable at
     Closing will not be prorated.  If, after Closing, however,
     Purchaser receives any payment of percentage rent which relates
     in any part to sales made prior to the Proration Date, Purchaser
     shall immediately remit
                                   
                                  -6-

     Seller's share thereof to Seller and may not apply any portion of
     such percentage rent to any post Proration Date rent
     delinquencies whether delinquent Fixed Rent or tenants'
     delinquent obligations to pay their pro rata share of taxes or
     "Expenses" (as hereinafter defined).  If, after Closing, Seller
     receives any payment of Percentage Rent which relates in any part
     to sales made after the Proration Date, Seller shall immediately
     remit Purchaser's share thereof to Purchaser and may not apply
     any portion of such Percentage Rent to any pre-Proration Date
     rent delinquencies.
               
               (iii)  Tenant CAM and Other Expense Contributions.  For
     purposes hereof, the term Expenses shall mean all common area
     maintenance costs and other operating expenses of the Property,
     excluding real estate taxes and other items expressly covered in
     other provisions of this Section 4.3. All payments by the tenant
     to the landlord under the Leases for Expenses ("Tenant Expense
     Contributions")shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as
     follows:

                    (aa) Seller acknowledges the receipt of the
          tenants' Tenant Expense Contributions from January 1, 1997
          to Closing. Seller shall be responsible for such tenant
          expenses up to Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible
          for such tenant expenses from and after Closing.
                    
                    (bb) At Closing, Seller shall give Purchaser a
          credit for a prorated portion of the Tenant Expense
          Contributions paid in advance for the month of Closing
          determined by multiplying the total such Tenant Expense
          Contributions paid for such month by a fraction, the
          numerator of which is the number of days from and including
          the date of Closing to and including the last day of such
          month and the denominator of which is the total number of
          days in such month.
                    
                    (cc) No more than sixty (60) days after Closing,
          Seller and Purchaser shall reprorate the Tenant Expense
          Contributions based on the total amount thereof and the
          total actual tenant expenses from January 1, 1997 to Closing
          as contemplated under Section (aa)above.  If as a result of
          said proration the parties determine that Seller has
          received from the tenants an amount of Tenant Expense
          Contributions in excess of the amount to which Seller is
          entitled or less than the amount that Seller is entitled
          pursuant to Section (aa) above, Seller shall either pay such
          excess to Purchaser or receive such shortage from Purchaser
          within fifteen(15) days after the reproration is determined.
          In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller agree
          to cooperate with each other concerning the calculation of
          the reproration.  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at
          Closing information concerning the tenant expenses paid and
          Tenant Expense Contributions collected by Seller prior to
          the Closing to the extent reasonably available to Seller at
          that time.

               (iv)  At Closing, Seller will have already paid the
     first installment of the
                                   
                                  -7-

     1996 ad valorem real estate taxes which installment represents
     fifty percent (50%) of the total 1996 real estate tax bill.
     Seller shall allow Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price
     in an amount equal to the second installment of the 1996 real
     estate tax bill in satisfaction of Seller's obligation for the
     payment of the second installment of the 1996 real estate tax
     bill.  Purchaser shall then pay the second installment 1996 real
     estate tax bill when received without contribution from Seller.
     Purchaser and Seller shall prorate the 1997 ad valorem real
     estate taxes to the Proration Date on the basis of one hundred
     three percent (103 %) of the 1996 real estate tax bill for the
     property. At Closing Seller and Purchaser will reconcile the 1996
     real estate tax bill against the deposits received by the Seller
     from those tenants who make monthly tax deposits (the "Monthly
     Tax Payors").  If Seller has received more monies from the
     Monthly Tax Payors than required to pay said tenants' share of
     the 1996 real estate taxes, the difference will be an additional
     credit to Purchaser at Closing.  If Seller has received less
     monies from the Monthly Tax Payors than required to pay said
     tenants' share of the 1996 real estate taxes, said amount shall
     be a credit to Seller at Closing.  Purchaser and Seller will
     reconcile the 1997 real estate tax bill based upon one hundred
     three percent (103%) of the 1996 real estate tax bill for the
     Monthly Tax Payors in the same manner as the 1996 real estate tax
     reconciliation.  With regard to those tenants who pay their share
     of real estate taxes upon the presentation of the real estate tax
     bill (the "Sight Tax Payors"), Seller shall have the right to use
     whatever reasonable enforcement methods Seller deems appropriate
     in collecting the 1996 real estate taxes from the Sight Tax
     Payors.  Said reasonable efforts shall include, but not be
     limited to, delivery of notices to the tenants and taking legal
     action, if required, but not termination of possession or
     termination of any Lease. Purchaser agrees to cooperate with
     Seller to aid Seller in collecting the Tenant Sight Payors' share
     of the 1996 real estate taxes.  Seller shall have no obligation
     to Purchaser for the payment of the 1997 real estate tax bill
     received by Purchaser in 1998 and all real estate tax adjustments
     provided under this paragraph shall be final as of the date of
     Closing.

               In addition, security deposits, prepaid expenses,
     utility charges and deposits, if any, and all other customarily
     proratable items shall be prorated as of the Proration Date on
     the basis of the most recent ascertainable amounts thereof or
     other reliable information in respect to each such item of income
     and expense and the net credit to Purchaser or Seller shall be
     paid in cash or as a credit or debit against the Purchase Price.
     In no event shall Seller be charged or be responsible for any
     increase in real estate taxes on the Property resulting from any
     improvements made to the Property after the Proration Date.

          (d)  Seller shall credit Purchaser at Closing with a special
rent loss proration (the "Rent Loss Proration") in the total sum of
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00). Said
special Rent Loss Proration is to reimburse Purchaser for any rent
loss caused by current vacancies and anticipated vacancies in the
premises following the Closing. Purchaser shall not be obligated to
account to Seller for the use of the special Rent Loss Proration.
                                   
                                  -8-

          (e)  Seller shall pay all title charges required to fulfill
the obligations under Section 4.2, one-half (1/2) of the escrow
charges, all survey charges, and the cost of the State and County
Transfer Tax on the Deed.  Purchaser shall pay for one-half(1/2) of
the escrow charges, the charges to record the Deed and the cost of the
municipal Transfer Tax, if any, on the Deed. The parties shall each be
solely responsible for the fees and disbursements of their respective
counsel and other professional advisers.
          
          (f)  (i)  Seller, until the earlier of the Closing Date or
     termination of this Agreement, shall not enter into any new
     Leases("New Leases") without the prior written consent of the
     Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
     Purchaser will not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its
     consent to a proposed New Lease if the terms thereof do not meet
     the Criterion for New Leases described on Exhibit H attached
     hereto.
               
               (ii) In the event Seller enters into a New Lease after
     the date of this Agreement, and such New Lease requires
     improvements or the payment of brokerage commissions
     (collectively the "New Leasing Costs") at the expense of Seller,
     as landlord, Purchaser by approving the execution of the New
     Lease shall, at Closing, assume the obligation to pay for all
     unpaid New Leasing Costs. Any New Leasing Costs paid by Seller
     prior to Closing will be reimbursed to Seller by Purchaser at
     Closing.
               
               (iii)  Failure of the Purchaser to consent or object in
     writing within three (3) business days after a written request
     for such consent to the execution of a New Lease by Seller, shall
     be deemed to constitute consent.
               
               (iv)  Purchaser at Closing will indemnify and forever
     defend and hold Seller, its partners, agents and employees
     harmless from any loss, liability, suit, action, judgment or
     claim as a result of Purchaser's nonpayment of any New Leasing
     Costs assumed by Purchaser at Closing.

     4.4  Escrow.  Concurrently herewith, the parties, through their
respective attorneys, shall establish a Strict Joint Order Escrow in
the form customarily used by Title Insurer under which the Deposit
will be held.  If Purchaser shall not give the Notice to Cancel, then
not later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date, but subject
in any event to Section 4.5(c,), the Strict Joint Order Escrow will be
terminated, and a new escrow will be created by the parties through
their respective attorneys with the Title Insurer at Title Insurer's
office in Chicago, Illinois, through which the Deposit will be held
and invested and the transaction shall be closed.  The escrow
instructions shall be in the form customarily used by the escrowee
with such special provisions added thereto as may be required to
conform to the provisions of this Agreement.  Said escrow shall be
auxiliary to this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be merged
into or in any manner superseded by said escrow.
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                  -9-

     4.5  Closing.

          (a)  The "dry closing" as defined in Section 4.3(b) shall
commence at 10:00 a.m. (CST) at the offices of the Title Insurer in
Chicago, Illinois and the Closing shall take place at noon on July 15,
1997 (the "Closing Date") at the offices of the Title Insurer in
Chicago, Illinois, or on such other date or dates as the parties may
mutually agree.
          
          (b)  Not later than the Proration Date, Seller shall deposit
in the escrow the following:

               (i)  The Deed;
               
               (ii)  An assignment of all of Seller's right, title and
     interest in and under the Leases and Service Contracts;
               
               (iii)  The Bill of Sale;
               
               (iv)  Originals of the Leases and Service Contracts;
               
               (v)  Letters to tenants under the Leases advising that
     the Property has been sold to Purchaser and directing payment of
     rental under the Leases in accordance with the directions of
     Purchaser;
               
               (vi)  An ALTA statement in form required by the Title
     Insurer;
               
               (vii)  An executed FIRPTA Affidavit in customary form;
               
               (viii) Estoppel Letters in the form prescribed in the
     Lease or if no form is prescribed in the Lease then substantially
     in the form of Exhibit "F" attached hereto, the contents of which
     are reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, from Best Buy, Cineplex
     Odeon, Office Depot, T.J. Maxx and PetsMart and from such other
     tenants under the Leases which when added to the gross leasable
     area in the Improvements occupied by the foregoing five (5) named
     tenants, aggregate not less than eighty (80%) of the total
     occupied gross leasable area in the Improvements.  If Seller is
     unable to procure such Estoppel Letters by the Proration Date,
     such failure to procure Estoppel Letters shall not constitute a
     default by Seller hereunder, but Purchaser will not be required
     to close the transaction unless Seller obtains the required
     Estoppel Letters during the thirty (30) day period describe in
     (i) of the next sentence or provides the indemnification
     described in (ii) of the next sentence.  Seller shall have the
     right to either (i)postpone the Closing Date (and thereby extend
     the Proration Date)up to thirty (30) days in order to attempt to
     obtain the required Estoppel Letters from said tenants or (ii)
     subject to the limitations contained in Section 10.3, indemnify
     Purchaser against the claims of any tenants who have not provided
     Estoppel Letters and which claims arose prior to the Closing
     Date, and correct any matters (to Purchaser's reasonable
     satisfaction) which are raised in the
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                  
                                 -10-

     Estoppel Letters which were provided.  If Seller elects to extend
     the Closing Date as provided for herein and on the extended
     Closing Date is still unable to deliver the required number of
     Estoppel Letters, Seller may then elect to either (iii) terminate
     this Agreement or (iv) provide the indemnification described
     in(ii) of the preceding sentence. Purchaser agrees that requests
     for Estoppel Letters will be sent to all tenants no later than
     July 1,1997.
               
               (ix) Such other documents, instruments, certifications
     and confirmations as may be reasonably required to fully effect
     and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, including
     Releases or Stop Orders from the Illinois Department of Revenue

by Purchaser or Seller on or prior to the Proration Date and all

                               ARTICLE V
                               BROKERAGE

     5.1  Brokerage.  Seller hereby represents and warrants to
Purchaser that Seller has not dealt with any broker or finder with
respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except for Richard
Ellis, L.L.C ("Brokers") whose commission shall be paid by Seller at
Closing; and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser for any claim
for brokerage commission or finder's fee asserted by Brokers or any
other person, firm or corporation claiming to have been engaged by
Seller.  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that
Purchaser has not dealt with any broker or finder in respect to the
transaction contemplated hereby except for the Brokers and Purchaser
hereby agrees to indemnify Seller for any claim for brokerage
commission or finder's fee asserted by a person, firm or corporation
other than the Brokers claiming to have been engaged by Purchaser.

                              ARTICLE VI
                  DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION

     6.1  Destruction or Damage.  In the event that prior to the
Closing Date any portion of the Improvements shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall immediately give
Purchaser notice of such occurrence.  If the amount of damage caused
by such fire or casualty shall exceed $350,000.00 (as determined by an
insurance adjuster selected by Seller) Purchaser may, within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of such notice, elect to (a) terminate this
Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be returned promptly to
Purchaser, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease and
this Agreement shall have no further force and effect, or (b) close
the transaction contemplated hereby as scheduled (except that if the
Closing Date is less than fifteen(15) days following Purchaser's
receipt of such notice, Closing shall be delayed until after Purchaser
makes such election), and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing
all rights under Seller's insurance policy to collect insurance
proceeds for such destruction or damage and loss of rents, and
Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to
the amount of any deductible under such policy.  Failure to give such
notice within such time shall be conclusive evidence that Purchaser
has elected the option contained in subsection (b) of this Section
6.1.
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                 -12-

     In the event that the amount of damage caused by such fire or
casualty is less than $350,000.00 (as determined by an insurance
adjuster selected by Seller), Purchaser may not elect to terminate
this Agreement and shall close the transaction contemplated hereby as
scheduled, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all rights
under Seller's insurance policy to collect insurance proceeds for such
destruction or damage and loss of rents, and Purchaser shall receive a
credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any
deductible under such policy.

     6.2  Condemnation.  If, subsequent to the date hereof and prior
to the Closing Date, any proceeding, which shall relate to the
proposed taking of any "material" portion of the Real Property or
Improvements by condemnation or eminent domain or any action in the
nature of eminent domain is instituted or commenced, Purchaser shall
have the right and option to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller
written notice to such effect within fifteen (15)days after actual
receipt of written notification of any such occurrence.  Failure to
give such notice within such time shall be conclusive evidence that
Purchaser has waived the option to terminate by reason of the occurrence
of which it has received notice.  If any such action is instituted or
commenced and Purchaser elects or is deemed to elect not to terminate
this Agreement, at Closing, Purchaser shall be assigned all of Seller's
right to any proceeds therefrom. Seller agrees to furnish Purchaser
written notification with respect to any such proceedings within
forty-eight hours of Seller's receipt of any such notification or
learning of the institution of such proceedings. Should Purchaser
elect to so terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be returned
promptly to Purchaser and thereupon the parties hereto shall be released
from any and all other obligations hereunder. If the Closing Date is
less than fifteen (15) days following the last day on which Purchaser
is entitled to elect to terminate this Agreement, the closing shall be
delayed until after Purchaser makes such election.
     
     The term "material" for purposes of this Section 6.2 shall mean
any taking of any portion of the Improvements or any taking of more
than ten (10%) percent of the land area of the Real Estate.

     6.3  Casualty and Rent Loss Insurance.  If, under the terms of
Section 6.1, Seller is obligated at Closing to assign to Purchaser all
rights under Seller's insurance policy to collect insurance proceeds
for the repair of any pre-Closing destruction or damage, Seller shall,
at Closing, make Purchaser a loss payee under such insurance policy in
order to effectuate such assignment obligation of Seller and in
addition shall make Purchaser a loss payee for any Loss of Rents
insurance coverage that Seller may have relating to any rental loss
arising from said destruction or damage, but relating solely to the
period commencing on the Proration Date and thereafter while such
coverage may be in effect and the rent is abated under any of the
Leases as a result of such destruction or damage.

     In the event Seller is obligated to make Purchaser a loss payee
for any Loss of Rents insurance coverage pursuant to the preceding
paragraph and Seller's insurance to cover such loss of rents for a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of any fire or casualty is
not in effect at the time of Closing, Purchaser, at its election (to
be exercised at or prior to Closing by written notice to Seller) may
terminate this Agreement, obtain a return of its Deposit and
                                   
                                 -13-

thereupon the parties hereto shall be released from any and all
further obligations hereunder.

Purchaser's environmental consultant shall be conducted in a manner so
as to
                                   
                                   
                                 -14-

     Purchaser does hereby indemnify and forever defend and hold

any manner.

          (d)  Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly if Seller
becomes aware of any transaction or occurrence prior to the Closing
Date which would make any of the representations or warranties of
Seller contained in Section 7.2 hereof not true in any material
respect.

(at no cost or expense to Seller) relative to the performance by said
accountants of an audit of Seller's books and records relating solely
to the Property.  If Purchaser's auditors shall request Seller to

becomes aware of any transactions or occurrence prior to the Closing
Date which would make any of the representations or warranties of

                                 -17-

on or affecting or pertaining to the Property.  Purchaser acknowledges
that if it elects to purchase the Property it will be doing so

discharges Seller, its partners, officers, directors, contractors,
employees and agents and other persons acting on behalf of Seller, of
and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands,
rights, damages, costs, expenses, or compensation whatsoever, direct
or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which Purchaser
now has or which may arise in the future on account of or growing out

Purchaser of Seller from all claims, rights of contribution or other
rights or remedies against Seller pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 198O, as

direct result of a default of this Agreement by Seller, in which

default prior to Closing to the provisions of Section 8.l(b) and for
any default discovered after Closing, to the provisions of Section
10.3. Other than as provided for herein, Purchaser hereby waives any
and all claims, rights, remedies or otherwise arising out of or in
connection with this sale at law or in equity.

manner as the same was operated, managed, leased, and repaired prior to
execution hereof.  Seller will not voluntarily terminate any of the Leases

any of the tenants of the Property (whether by telephone,
correspondence, or in person) until such time, if ever, as the
Inspection Period shall have expired and Purchaser has not given
Seller a Notice to Cancel.  Thereafter, Purchaser may contact any of
the tenants so long as it shall first notify Seller and give Seller
the opportunity to review any written communication with any of the
tenants and to be present at any personal meeting with the tenants, as
applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be
deemed to prohibit or restrict Purchaser from contacting a Tenant if
such Tenant is an occupant/tenant of any other shopping center owned
by Purchaser.  With regard to any such contact, Purchaser agrees that
they will not have a substantial
                                   
                                 -18-

notifying Seller and obtaining Seller's prior written agreement.

terminated and become null and void except for Purchaser's obligations

     If Purchaser shall not have given a Notice to Cancel within the
time aforesaid, the Deposit shall be nonrefundable except as set forth

duly performed.  If the conditions precedent to Purchaser's obligation
to Close as described in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.5(b)(viii) have not
occurred on or prior to the times required therein (subject to
Seller's extension rights under Section 4.5(b)(viii)), Purchaser shall
have only the following options to be exercised by written notice to
Seller prior to the Closing Date: (i) to terminate this Agreement,
obtain a refund of the Deposit and thereafter this Agreement shall be
null and void, or (ii) to waive such conditions and close this
Agreement on the Closing Date without diminution of the Purchase
Price.  If Seller shall be in default of its obligation under this
Agreement (in contrast to Seller's inability to perform any of the
conditions precedent described above and elsewhere in this Agreement
which shall not
                                   
                                 -19-

constitute a default), Purchaser shall have only the following options
as its sole and exclusive remedy for said default, to be exercised by
written notice to Seller on or prior to Closing Date: (aa) to
terminate this Agreement and obtain a return of the Deposit, whereupon
this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or
effect, except that if the default of Seller shall be of such a nature
as to be willful and wanton in conduct, then Purchaser also shall be
entitled to receive from Seller the sum of $75,000 as and for full,
final and agreed upon liquidated damages (the parties hereto hereby
acknowledge that the amount of such damages are otherwise incapable of
ascertainment) or (bb) to obtain a return of the Deposit and seek
specific performance of this Agreement.  If Purchaser does not file
suit for Specific Performance within six(6) months of Seller's alleged
default, it will be conclusively presumed that Purchaser has elected
the option set forth in Section 8.1(b)(aa). Purchaser's failure to
give such written notice on or prior to the time described above,
shall be conclusive evidence that all such conditions precedent to
Purchaser's obligations to close have been satisfied. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), the Deposit
shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, and all other funds and
documents theretofore delivered hereunder or deposited in escrow by
either party shall be promptly returned to such party.  The rights and
remedies granted to the Purchaser in this Section 8.1(b) are the sole
rights and remedies available to the Purchaser in the event of
Seller's default of its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser
hereby waives any other rights it may have at law (including claims
for any tortious conduct it may allege against Seller) or in equity.

     8.2  Conditions to Seller's Obligations and Default by Purchaser.
The obligation of Seller to close the transaction contemplated hereby
is, at Seller's option, conditioned upon Purchaser's representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement being true and correct in
every material. respect at and as of the Closing Date, and upon
fulfillment by Purchaser of all obligations of Purchaser which were to
have been performed on or before the Closing Date having been timely
and duly performed. If any condition precedent to Closing of Seller as
set forth in this Section 8.2 has not been fulfilled and satisfied on
or before the Closing Date, Seller may, by notice to Purchaser, elect
at anytime thereafter to terminate this Agreement, and if such
termination is due to Purchaser's fault, Seller shall be entitled to
retain the Deposit as full and complete liquidated damages (and not as
a penalty or forfeiture) in lieu of any and all other legal and
equitable rights which Seller may have hereunder, and all other funds
and documents theretofore delivered hereunder or deposited in escrow
by either party shall be promptly returned to such party.  Upon such
termination and retention of the Deposit by Seller, except as set
forth in tie last sentence of the first grammatical paragraph of
Section 10.3 hereof, this Agreement shall become null and void and of
no further force or effect.

     10.1 Entire Agreement, Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement
contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and the same may not be amended,
modified or discharged nor may any of its terms be waived except by an
instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound hereby.

contemplated hereby.

     10.3 Survival and Benefit.  Only those agreements, covenants,
indemnifications and obligations of the parties hereunder set forth in
Sections 4.3(b), 5.1, 7.l(c), 7.l(d), 7.4(b), and the representations
and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 7.3 shall survive the
Closing and inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and assigns of the parties.  The indemnifications set forth
in Sections 5. 1 and 7. 1 (c) shall survive termination of this
Agreement prior to Closing.

     Subject to the provisions of the second paragraph of Section
7.4(a), (i) the representations and warranties of Seller contained in
this Agreement shall survive the Closing only as hereinafter set forth
and (ii) any liability of Seller to Purchaser based on any inaccuracy
of Seller's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement

     notice to Seller within three (3) months after the Closing Date

     time of the Closing; and
               
               (ii) Purchaser (or its designee) shall commence legal

benefit of the parties hereto and the designee of Purchaser and no
third party is intended to or shall have any rights hereunder.

pursuant hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts each of

the contrary, in the event of a default hereunder by Seller prior to
or at Closing, neither Seller nor any direct or indirect
partner(whether general or limited) of Seller, nor any shareholder of
any partner, nor any director, officer, employee, agent, shareholder,
trustee or beneficiary of any of them shall have any liability
hereunder or in connection therewith, and Purchaser's sole and
exclusive remedies are as set forth in Sections 8.1(b) and 10.3
hereof.  In the event that Purchaser (or its designee) discovers,
after Closing, that Seller has breached any of the representations and
warranties made by Seller in this Agreement, they shall be limited to
resort against the assets of Seller only under Section 10.3 hereof and
no direct or indirect partner (whether general or limited) of Seller,
nor any shareholder of any partner, nor any director, officer,
employee, agent, shareholder, trustee, or beneficiary of any of them
shall be liable to Purchaser or its designee in connection with such
claimed breach of representation or warranty.  For purposes of the
foregoing, neither the negative capital account of any partner of
Seller nor any obligation of any partner of Seller to restore a
negative capital account or to contribute capital to Seller or to any
partner of Seller, shall at any tune be deemed to be the property or
an asset of Seller or any partner of Seller (and neither Purchaser nor
any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect,
enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative
account or a partner's obligation to restore the same or contribute
capital to Seller or a partner of Seller).

     10.8 Effective Date.  Wherever herein contained the expression
"date hereof" is used it shall be deemed to mean the date that Seller
has accepted this Agreement.
     
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed and
delivered by Seller and Purchaser on the respective dates set forth
beneath each of their signatures and is intended to be effective as of
the latest such date.
