Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Eagle Ridge Center, Lindenhurst, Illinois

On April 13, 1999, we purchased the entire fee simple interest in a single-user
retail center located at Grand  Avenue  and  Munn Road in Lindenhurst, Illinois
known as "Eagle Ridge  Center."    We  purchased  Eagle Ridge Center from Eagle
Foods Centers, Inc., an unaffiliated  third party, for approximately $6,004,000
or approximately $114.00 per square foot.   We paid the purchase price for this
property using cash and cash  equivalents.    We believe the purchase price was
fair and reasonable based on,  among  other  things,  an appraisal from a third
party that we received and presented to our board of directors. 

Eagle Ridge  Center,    built  in  1998,  is  a  one-story,  single-user retail
facility.  Eagle Ridge Center contains 56,142  leasable square feet.  As of May
1, 1999, Eagle Ridge  Center  was  100%  leased.    We  considered a variety of
factors including  location,  demographics,  price  per  square  foot, existing
rental rates compared to  market  rates,  and  occupancy.   We believe that the
center is located within a vibrant economic area.

We do not anticipate making  any  significant repairs and improvements to Eagle
Ridge Center over the next few years.   However, if we were to make any repairs
or improvements, pursuant to the lease,  the center's tenant would be obligated
to pay a substantial portion of any monies spent on repairs and improvements.

One tenant, Eagle  Foods,  a  grocery  store,  leases  100%  of the total gross
leasable area of the property.    This  lease  requires  the tenant to pay base
annual rent on a monthly basis as follows:

                                           Base Rent   
                                          Per Square

For federal income tax purposes,  our  depreciable  basis in Eagle Ridge Center
will be approximately $4,800,000.   When we calculate depreciation expense, for
tax purposes, we will use  the  straight-line  method.  We depreciate buildings
and improvements based upon estimated useful lives of 40 years.

</TABLE>



We received a letter appraisal  prepared  by  an independent appraiser who is a
member in good standing of  the  American  Institute of Real Estate Appraisers.
The appraisal reported a fair market value for the Eagle Ridge Center property,
as of August 21, 1998,  of  $6,100,000.    You  should note that appraisals are
estimates of value and, therefore, you  should  not rely upon them as a measure
of true worth or realizable value.

Rose Plaza - Phase II , Elmwood Park, Illinois

On May 3, 1999, we purchased  the  entire fee simple interest in a Neighborhood
Retail Center located at 7330 W.  North  Avenue in Elmwood Park, Illinois known
as "Rose Plaza - Phase II."   We  purchased  Rose Plaza - Phase II from Elmwood
Park L.L.C.,  an  unaffiliated  third  party,  for  approximately $1,402,000 or
approximately $236.03 per square foot.   We  purchased  Rose Plaza - Phase I in
December 1998 for approximately  $2,753,000.    We  paid the purchase price for
this property using cash and cash  equivalents.   We believe the purchase price
was fair and reasonable based on, among other things, an appraisal from a third
party that we received and presented to our board of directors. 

Rose Plaza - Phase II,    built  in  1998,  is a one-story, multi-tenant retail
facility.  Rose Plaza - Phase  II  contains  5,940 leasable square feet.  As of
May 3, 1999, Rose Plaza - Phase II was 100% leased.  We considered a variety of
factors including location, demographics,  tenant  mix,  price per square foot,
existing rental rates compared to market rates, and occupancy.  We believe that
the center is located within a vibrant economic area.

We do not anticipate making  any  significant  repairs and improvements to Rose
Plaza - Phase II over the  next  few  years.    However, if we were to make any
repairs or improvements, pursuant to the  leases, the center's tenants would be
obligated to pay a  substantial  portion  of  any  monies  spent on repairs and
improvements.

Two tenants, St. Louis Bread Co., a restaurant, and Sprint Com Inc., a cellular
telephone store, lease more than 10%  of  the  total gross leasable area of the
property.  These leases  require  the  tenants  to  pay  base  annual rent on a

Dominick's-Hammond, Hammond, Indiana

On May 7, 1999, we purchased  the  entire  fee simple interest in a single-user
retail center located at  1724  -  165th  Street  in  Hammond, Indiana known as
"Dominick's-Hammond."  We purchased  Dominick's-Hammond  from Safeway, Inc., an
unaffiliated third party, for approximately $8,879,000 or approximately $124.51

our management that the space will be re-leased at market rates at the time of re-leasing.

We received a letter appraisal  prepared  by  an independent appraiser who is a
member in good standing of  the  American  Institute of Real Estate Appraisers.
The appraisal reported a fair market value for the Dominick's-Hammond property,
as of March 16,  1999,  of  $8,950,000.    You  should note that appraisals are
estimates of value and, therefore, you  should  not rely upon them as a measure
of true worth or realizable value.
