Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Cobblers Mall, Elgin, Illinois

On May 6, 1997, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center located at
Summit Road and Route 58 in Elgin, Illinois known as Cobblers Mall from
Hamilton Partners, an unaffiliated third party, for approximately $10.953
million. The purchase price was funded using cash and cash equivalents.  The
purchase price was approximately $106.71 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. 

Cobblers Mall was built in 1993 and consists of a one-story, multi-tenant
retail facility aggregating 102,643 rentable square feet.  As of May 6, 1997,
Cobblers Mall was 91% leased (100% leased if the master lease, which lasts for
one year, is considered).  In evaluating Cobblers Mall 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 63% of the
rentable square feet at Cobblers Mall is leased to one tenant, 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 Cobblers Mall 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 Cobblers Mall expressed as a percentage of total gross leasable area
and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.

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

  1996                         90.65%                    $9.62

  1995                         90.80                      9.26

  1994                         85.93                      8.63

  1993                         79.93                      5.62


                                      -2-








The sole tenant leasing more than 10% of the total square footage is Jewel/Osco,
a regional grocery/pharmacy chain, which leases 64,938 square feet, or
approximately 63.27% of the rentable square feet.  The lease with Jewel/Osco
requires Jewel/Osco to pay base rent equal to $9.85 per square foot per annum
payable monthly until March 31, 2013.  The  lease with Jewel/Osco contains no
option to renew.  

For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in Cobblers
Mall will be approximately $10,900,000.  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 1996 for the tax year ended
1995 (the most recent tax year for which information is generally available)
were $400,919.  The real estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying
Cobblers Malls assessed value by an equalizer of 2.1243 and a tax rate of
10.097%.

22, 1997, of  $11 million.  Appraisals are estimates of value and should not be

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 Mallard Mall property, as of April
10, 1997, of  $8.2 million.  Appraisals are estimates of value and should not

Ameritech Outlot Building, Joliet, Illinois

On May 9, 1997, the Company acquired a Neighborhood Retail Center located at
3330 West Mall Loop Drive in Joliet, Illinois known as Ameritech Outlot
Building ("Ameritech Outlot") from LJ Partners, an unaffiliated third party,
for approximately $1.050 million. The purchase price was funded using cash and
cash equivalents.  The purchase price was approximately $233.13 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.

Ameritech Outlot was built in 1995 and consists of a one-story, single tenant
retail outlot building aggregating 4,504 rentable square feet.  As of April 30,
1997, Ameritech Outlot was 100% leased.  In evaluating Ameritech Outlot 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 Ameritech Outlot is leased to one tenant,
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 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 and improvements
to Ameritech Outlot over the next few years because the facility was completed
in 1995.  Nevertheless, a substantial portion of any such cost would be paid by
the tenant.

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

                                                                   Effective

                                      -9-







The sole tenant is Ameritech Cellular who leases 100% of the rentable square
feet.  Ameritech Cellular is a cellular phone service provider and retailer.
The lease with Ameritech Cellular requires Ameritech Cellular to pay base rent
equal to $24.49 per square foot per annum payable monthly until March 31, 1998,
$25.22 per square foot per annum payable monthly from April 1, 1998 until March
31, 1999, $25.98 per square foot per annum payable monthly from April 1, 1999
until March 31, 2000, $26.76 per square foot per annum payable monthly from
April 1, 2000 until March 31, 2001, $27.56 per square foot per annum payable
monthly from April 1, 2001 until March 31, 2002, $28.39 per square foot per
annum payable monthly from April 1, 2002 until March 31, 2003, $29.24 per
square foot per annum payable monthly from April 1, 2003 until March 31, 2004
and $30.11 per square foot per annum payable monthly from April 1, 2004 until
March 31, 2005.  The Ameritech Cellular lease also contains two options to
renew the lease for five year periods each.  If the first option is exercised,
Ameritech Cellular will be required to pay base rent equal to $31.01 per square
foot per annum payable monthly from April 1, 2005 until March 31, 2006, with
annual increases of 3% until March 31, 2010.  If the second option is
exercised, Ameritech Cellular will be required to pay base rent equal to $35.95
per square foot per annum payable monthly from April 1, 2010 until March 31,
2011, with annual increases of 3% until March 31, 2015.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company's depreciable basis in Ameritech
Outlot will be approximately $788,000.  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 Ameritech Outlot was completed in 1996.

At May 9, 1997, a total of 4,504 square feet was leased to one tenant at
Ameritech Outlot.  The following tables set forth certain information with
respect to the amount of and expiration of leases at this Neighborhood Retail
Center.
