Item 2.  Identity and Background.
         ------------------------

         (a), (b), (c) and (f). This statement is filed by AEW Capital
Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("AEW CMI") pursuant to Section
13d-1(f)(1) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. AEW CMI is hereinafter referred to as the "Reporting
Person."

         Of the Securities that are the subject of this Schedule 13D, 974,297
shares of Common Stock are held by CIIF Associates II Limited Partnership, a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") whose general partner is an
indirect subsidiary of AEW Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("AEW CMLP") whose general partner is the Reporting Person. AEW CMLP
is a registered investment advisor which provides investment advisory services
to certain separate accounts as well as to certain of its subsidiaries which are
engaged in the investment management business. The remainder of the Securities
that are the subject of this Schedule 13D are shares of Common Stock held by
certain of the separate accounts for which AEW CMLP serves as investment
advisor.

         The principal office and principal business address of the Reporting
Person is c/o AEW Capital Management, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, MA 02110.

         The business of the Reporting Person is managed by its Board of
Directors. The name, residence or business address, principal occupation or
employment and citizenship of the executive officers and directors of AEW CMI

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
         --------------------------------------------------

         On December 10, 1996, the Reporting Person acquired beneficial
ownership of the Securities as a result of the acquisition by New England
Investment Companies, L.P., a publicly held limited partnership ("NEIC"), of all
of the assets and operations of Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch, L.P. and certain
affiliated entities (collectively, "AEW"). NEIC contributed the acquired assets
and operations of AEW, together with all of NEIC's equity interests in its
indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Copley Real Estate Advisors and certain of
its affiliated entities, to AEW CMLP, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of
NEIC. AEW CMI, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEIC, is the general partner of
AEW CMLP.


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         -----------------------

         The Partnership's and separate accounts' purpose in purchasing the
Securities was to acquire an equity interest in the Company in pursuit of the
investment objectives of the Partnership and the separate accounts. The
Partnership and the separate accounts hold the Securities for investment
purposes.

         The Partnership and the separate accounts, respectively, intend to
review continuously the equity position of the Partnership and the separate
accounts in the Company. Depending upon future evaluations of the business
prospects of the Company and upon other developments, including, but not limited
to, general economic and business conditions and money market and stock market
conditions, either the Partnership or any of the separate accounts may determine
to cease making additional purchases of shares of Common Stock or to increase or
decrease the equity interest in the Company by acquiring additional shares of
Common Stock, or by disposing of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock.

         Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person does not
have any present plan or proposal which relates to or would result in:

         (a)   the acquisition of additional securities of the Company, or the
               disposition of securities of the Company;

         (b)   an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
               reorganization or liquidation involving the Company or any of its
               subsidiaries;

         (c)   a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company
               or any of its subsidiaries;

               policy of the Company;

               structure;

               corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
               acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

         (h)   a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a
               national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
               quoted in the inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
               national securities association;

         (i)   a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for
               termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
               Exchange Act; or

         (j)   any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
