Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


Grand & Hunt Club Outlot Center, Gurnee, Illinois

         On December 24, 1996, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail
Center located at Grand Avenue and Hunt Club Road in Gurnee, Illinois known as
Grand & Hunt Club Outlot Center ("Hunt Club") from Butler Real Estate, Inc., an
unaffiliated third party, for approximately $3.6 million. The purchase price
was funded using cash and cash equivalents.  The purchase price was
approximately $169.26 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.

         Hunt Club was built in 1996 and consists of a one-story building
aggregating 21,222 rentable square feet.  As of January 1, 1997, Hunt Club was
100% leased.  In evaluating Hunt Club 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
within a vibrant economic area.  Although 100% of the rentable square feet at
Hunt Club 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 Hunt Club over the next few years because the facility was
completed in 1996.  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 Hunt Club 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 Super
Crown Books, which leases 16,722 square feet, or approximately 78.8% of the
rentable square feet, and Helzberg's Diamond Shops d/b/a Jewelry 3 ("Jewelry
3"), which leases 4,500 square feet, or approximately 21.2% of the rentable
square feet.  Super Crown Books is a national chain of discount book stores and
Jewelry 3 is a jewelry store chain.  The lease with Super Crown Books requires
Super Crown Books to pay base rent equal to $16.75 per square foot per annum
payable monthly from January 1, 1997 until February 28, 2002 and $17.75 per
square foot per annum payable monthly from March 1, 2002 until February 28,
2007.  The Super Crown Books lease contains no option to renew.  The lease with
Jewelry 3 requires Jewelry 3 to pay base rent equal to $25.50 per square foot
per annum payable monthly until December 31, 2001 and $29.32 per square foot
per annum payable monthly from January 1, 2002 until December 31, 2006.  The
Jewelry 3 lease contains no option to renew.

         For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
Hunt Club will be approximately $2,600,000.  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 1996 for the tax
year ended 1995 (the most recent tax year for which information is generally
available) is not available since Hunt Club was completed in 1996.  Prior to
the completion of Hunt Club in 1996, the property was vacant land.  The Company
believes that any tax information relating to the vacant land would not be
useful to investors.

         At January 1, 1997, a total of 21,222 square feet were leased to two
tenants at Hunt Club.  The following tables set forth certain information with
respect to the amount of and expiration of leases at this Neighborhood Retail
Center.

 (1) 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.



       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 Hunt Club property, as of
December 17, 1996, of $3,610,000 million.  Appraisals are estimates of value
and should not be relied on as a measure of true worth or realizable value.

       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 Quarry property, as of
December 9, 1996, of $1,850,000.  Appraisals are estimates of value and should
not be relied on as a measure of true worth or realizable value.

Crestwood Plaza Shopping Center, Crestwood, Illinois

       On December 27, 1996, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center
located at 13335 South Cicero Avenue in Crestwood, Illinois known as Crestwood
Plaza Shopping Center ("Crestwood Plaza") from Inland Property Sales, Inc., an
affiliated third party, for approximately $1.81 million. The purchase price was
funded using cash and cash equivalents.  The purchase price was approximately
$90.24 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.

       Crestwood Plaza was built in 1992 and consists of a one-story building
aggregating 20,044 rentable square feet.  As of December 27, 1996, Crestwood
Plaza was 100% leased.  In evaluating Crestwood 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 the occupancy of the center.  The Company believes that
the center is located within a vibrant economic area.  Although 100% of the
rentable square feet at Crestwood 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 Crestwood Plaza 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 Crestwood Plaza expressed as a percentage of total gross
leasable area and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.

         Tenants leasing more than 10% of the total square footage are
Entenmann's Inc., which leases 13,644 square feet, or approximately 68% of the
rentable square feet, and Pet Supplies Plus, which leases 6,400 square feet, or
approximately 32% of the rentable square feet.  Entenmann's is a national
retailer of baked goods, and Pet Supplies Plus is a national retail pet supply
chain.  The lease with Entenmann's requires Entenmann's to pay base rent equal
to $9.25 per square foot per annum payable monthly until October 31, 2002.  The
Entenmann's lease contains no option to renew.  The lease with Pet Supplies
Plus requires Pet Supplies Plus to pay base rent equal to $12.00 per square
foot per annum payable monthly until January 31, 1998.  The lease with Pet
Supplies Plus also grants Pet Supplies Plus one option to renew the lease for a
five-year term.  If this option is exercised, Pet Supplies Plus will be
required to pay a base rent of $12.99 per square foot per annum payable monthly
from February 1, 1998 until January 31, 2003.

         For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
Crestwood Plaza will be approximately $1,480,000.  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 1996 for the tax year ended 1995 (the
most recent tax year for which information is available) were $51,494.  The
real estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying Crestwood Plaza's
assessed value by an equalizer of 2.1243 and a tax rate of 9.316%.

         At December 27, 1996, a total of 20,044 square feet were leased to two
tenants at Crestwood Plaza.  The following tables set forth certain information

       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 Park St. Clair
property, as of December 31, 1996, of not less than $1.6 million.  Appraisals
are estimates of value and should not be relied on as a measure of true worth
or realizable value.

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") totalling $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 December 31, 1996,
Lansing Square was 90.3% leased.  In evaluating Lansing Square 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.

         Tenants leasing more than 10% of the total square footage are Sams
Club, which leases 107,927 square feet, or approximately 46% of the rentable
square feet, Baby Superstore, which leases 43,596 square feet, or approximately
19% of the rentable square feet, and Office Max, which leases 24,700 square
feet, or approximately 11% of the rentable square feet.  Sams Club is a
national warehouse club, Baby Superstore is a national retailer of merchandise
for infants and children and Office Max is a national office supply chain.  The
lease with Sams Club requires Sams Club to pay base rent equal to $7.31 per
square foot per annum payable monthly until November 30, 2011.  The Sams Club
lease contains no option to renew.  The lease with Baby Superstore requires
Baby Superstore to pay base rent equal to $6.50 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until October 31, 2000 and $7.00 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until December 31, 2001.  The Baby Superstore lease contains no
option to renew.   The lease with Office Max requires Office Max to pay base
rent equal to $7.25 per square foot per annum payable monthly until April 30,
1997, $7.75 per square foot per annum payable monthly until April 30, 2002 and
$8.25 per square foot per annum payable monthly until January 31, 2008.  The
Office Max lease contains no option to renew.

         For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
Lansing Square will be approximately $13,000,000.  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.

         Real estate taxes payable in 1996 for the tax year ended 1995 (the
most recent tax year for which information is available) were $1,252,577.  The
real estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying Lansing Square's
assessed value by an equalizer of 2.1243 and a tax rate of 11.494%.

   (1) 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.

       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.  Appraisals are estimates of
value and should not be relied on as a measure of true worth or realizable
value.

The Summit of Park Ridge, Park Ridge, Illinois

       On December 31, 1996, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center
located at 100-150 Euclid Avenue in Park Ridge, Illinois known as The Summit of
Park Ridge ("The Summit") from WHPX-S Real Estate Limited Partnership, an
unaffiliated third party, for approximately $3.2 million. The purchase price
was funded using cash and cash equivalents.  The purchase price was
approximately $96.25 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.

       The Summit was built in 1986 and consists of a one-story building
aggregating 33,248 rentable square feet.  As of December 31, 1996, The Summit
was 89% leased.  In evaluating The Summit 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 within a vibrant economic area.  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.





                                       13

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

         Tenants leasing more than 10% of the total square footage are Giappo's
Pizza, which leases 3,683 square feet, or approximately 11% of the rentable
square feet, and Le Peep Restaurant ("Le Peep"), which leases 3,621 square
feet, or approximately 11% of the rentable square feet.  The lease with
Giappo's Pizza requires Giappo's Pizza to pay base rent equal to $12.00 per
square foot per annum payable monthly until July 31, 1997, $13.00 per square
foot per annum payable monthly until July 31, 1998, $14.00 per square foot per
annum payable monthly until July 31, 2000, $15.00 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until July 31, 2004 and $16.00 per square foot per month
payable monthly until July 31, 2007.  The Giappo's Pizza lease contains no
option to renew.  The lease with Le Peep requires Le Peep to pay base rent
equal to $15.50 per square foot per annum payable monthly until December 31,
1998 and $17.00 per square foot per annum payable monthly until December 31,
2002.  The lease with Le Peep also grants Le Peep one option to renew the lease
for a seven-year term.  If this option is exercised, Le Peep will be required
to pay a base rent of $19.00 per square foot per annum payable monthly from
January 1, 2003 until December 31, 2009.

         For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in
The Summit will be approximately $2,500,000.  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 1996 for the tax year ended 1995 (the
most recent tax year for which information is available) were $171,743. The
real estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying The Summit's assessed
value by an equalizer of 2.1243 and a tax rate of 9.016%.

         At December 31, 1996, a total of 31,800 square feet were leased to
fourteen tenants at The Summit.  The following tables set forth certain
