Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Since our last Form  8-K  filing  on  February  5,  1999,  we have acquired two
additional properties.    The  aggregate  purchase  price  of  these properties
exceeds  10  percent  of  our  total  assets  as  of  December  31,  1997,  and
accordingly, we are filing this Form 8-K.


Baytowne Shoppes and Baytowne Square, Champaign, Illinois

On February 8,  1999,  we  purchased  the  entire  fee  simple  interest in two
Neighborhood Retail Centers  located  just  south  of  I-74  and North Prospect
Avenue in Champaign, Illinois known  as "Baytowne Shoppes and Baytowne Square."
We  purchased  the  Baytowne  shopping  centers  from  Clinton  C.  Atkins,  an
unaffiliated  third  party,  for  a   total  purchase  price  of  approximately
$12,655,000 or approximately $106.81  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. 

Baytowne Shoppes, built  in  1993,  is  comprised  of a one-story, multi-tenant
retail facility.  Baytowne Square, built  in 1995, is comprised of a one-story,
multi-tenant retail facility and a ground  lease  on  an outlot.  In total, the
Baytowne shopping centers contain 118,842 leasable square feet.  As of February
8, 1999, the Baytowne  shopping  centers  were  97%  leased (100% leased if the
master lease, which  lasts  for  one  year,  is  considered).   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 centers are located within a vibrant economic area.

We do not anticipate  making  any  significant  repairs and improvements to the
Baytowne shopping centers 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.

The table below sets forth the  occupancy rate at Baytowne Shoppes, constructed
in 1993, expressed as a percentage of total gross leasable area and the average
annual base rent per square foot:

Two tenants, Staples, an office supply store, and PetSmart, a pet supply store,

For federal income tax purposes, our depreciable basis in the Baytowne shopping
centers will  be  approximately  $8,800,000.    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. 

Real estate taxes payable in 1998  for  the  tax year ended 1997 were $191,050.
The real estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying the assessed value
by a tax rate of 8.0242%.

(1) We made no assumptions regarding the re-leasing of expired leases.  It is the opinion of 
our management that the space will be re-leased at market rates at the time of re-leasing.

</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 Baytowne shopping centers,
as of January 8, 1999,  of  $12,750,000.    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.


Woodland Commons, Buffalo Grove, Illinois

On February  10,  1999,  we  purchased  the  entire  fee  simple  interest in a
Community Retail Center located at 480 Half Day Road in Buffalo Grove, Illinois
known as "Woodland  Commons."    We  purchased  Woodland  Commons from Woodland
Commons Corp., an unaffiliated  third  party,  for approximately $20,036,000 or
approximately $117.84 per square foot.    We  paid  the purchase price for this
property by 1) assuming an existing  loan  with a balance of $10,735,000 and 2)
using cash and cash equivalents.  The loan requires interest only payments at a
rate of 6.25% per annum  through  September,  2001,  at which time the interest
rate will be reset.  The loan matures  September, 2006 and can be repaid at any
time without penalty.  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.

Woodland Commons,  built in 1991, is a one-story, multi-tenant retail facility.
Woodland Commons contains 170,051  leasable  square  feet.   As of February 10,
1999, Woodland Commons was 97% leased.  However approximately 12% of the center
is not currently occupied.   The tenant for this space is currently negotiating
with us to buy out of their  lease  and we are in negotiations with a potential
tenant to  lease  the  space.  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
Woodland Commons 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.

The table below sets forth the  occupancy rate at Woodland Commons expressed as
a percentage of total gross leasable area  and the average annual base rent per
square foot:

For federal income tax purposes, our depreciable basis in Woodland Commons will
be approximately $15,200,000.  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. 

Real estate taxes payable in 1998  for  the  tax year ended 1997 were $340,556.
The real estate taxes payable were calculated by multiplying the assessed value
by a tax rate of 7.276%.

On February 10, 1999, a total of  165,064 square feet was leased to thirty-nine

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 Woodland Commons property,
as of January 13, 1999, of  $21,900,000.    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.
