          This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends the Statement on
          Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission on August 14, 1997 by Richard C. Blum &
          Associates, L.P. and its affiliates (the "Reporting Persons"). 
          This Amendment No. 1 is filed with respect to the Limited
          Liability Company Interests ("the Interests"), no par value, of
          Triad Park, LLC, ("the Company").  The principal executive office
          and mailing address of the Company is 3055 Triad Drive,
          Livermore, California 94550.  The following amendments to Items 4
          and 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made.  Unless otherwise
          defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings
          ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

          Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
          -------------------------------
          Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to
          read as follows:

          The Reporting Persons initially acquired the Interests for
          investment purposes, and the acquisition of the Interests by each
          of the limited partnerships were made in the ordinary course of
          business and were not made for the purposes of acquiring control
          of the Company.

          On August 14, 1997, the Reporting Persons filed the Schedule 13D. 
          Therein, the Reporting Persons stated that, on August 11, 1997,
          they decided to propose to acquire all of the assets or stock of
          the Company and submitted a written indication to the Company of
          the material terms and conditions upon which the Reporting
          Persons would be willing to proceed.  On August 12, 1997, the
          Company responded to the August 11, 1997 proposal.  The Reporting
          Persons requested confidential treatment from the Commission for
          their letter sent on August 11, 1997, to the Company as well as
          the response received from the Company on August 12, 1997.  In
          light of the developments reported below, the Reporting Persons
          are publicly disclosing both of these letters as Exhibits B and C
          to this Amendment.  The Reporting Persons are separately advising
          the Commission of their withdrawal of the confidentiality
          request.

          Following the exchange of correspondence between the Reporting
          Persons and the Company, the Reporting Persons and the Company
          discussed a possible transaction.  On September 9, the Company,
          the Reporting Persons and TPL Acquisition, LLC entered into an
          Agreement of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which
          TPL Acquisition, LLC will acquire all of the Interests for a
          purchase price of $1.32 per Interest on the terms and subject to
          the conditions set forth therein (including approval of the
          transaction by the shareholders).  The Company has advised the
          Reporting Persons of its intention to attach the Merger Agreement
          to a securities filing to be made by the Company.  The Reporting
          Persons have not, therefore, attached the Merger Agreement as an
          exhibit to this Amendment.  Reference is made to the Merger
          Agreement for a complete description of the terms and conditions
          of the transaction.<PAGE>



          CUSIP NO. 895914109        SCHEDULE 13D              Page 6 of 13


          TPL Acquisition, LLC is presently controlled by the Reporting
          Persons; however, the Reporting Persons presently expect that TPL
          Acquisition, LLC will be controlled both by the Reporting Persons
          and by Westmark Realty Advisors L.L.C. ("Westmark"), a wholly-
          owned subsidiary of CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc. ("CB
          Commercial").  Richard C. Blum is a director of CB Commercial. 
          The Reporting Persons and Westmark previously entered into a
          joint venture agreement for real estate acquisitions, and the
          Reporting Persons presently expect Westmark to participate in the
          transaction involving the Company. The Reporting Persons and
          Westmark have not formalized an arrangement as yet with respect
          to this particular transaction.  The Reporting Persons expect
          that such an agreement will be formalized in the near future.

          Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
          ---------------------------------------------

          Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to
          read as follows:

          (a),(b) According to the Company's Form 10-SB filed with the
          Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 1997, there were
          19,907,195 Interests outstanding. Based on such information, the
          Reporting Persons report direct holdings of 1,998,158 Interests
          on behalf of its partnerships, which represents 10.0% of the
          outstanding Interests. 

          Voting and investment power concerning the above Interests are
          held solely by 
          RCBA L.P.  The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be
          members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be
          deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,998,158
          Interests, which is 10.0% of the outstanding Interests.  As the
          sole general partner of RCBA L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the
          beneficial owner of the Interests over which RCBA L.P. has voting
          and investment power.

          As Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc.,
          Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the
          Interests beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. In addition, Mr. Blum
          had sole beneficial ownership of 14,000 Interests, which
          ownership was agreed to be sold on September 5, 1997. Although
          Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the
          filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission
          that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors or executive
          officers of RCBA Inc. is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner
          of any of the Interests that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.

          (c), (d) and (e)  Not applicable.<PAGE>

          August 11, 1997

          Via Fax:  510-455-6917

          Mr. James R. Porter
          Board Member
          Triad Park, LLC
          3055 Triad Drive
          Livermore, CA  94550

          Dear Jim:

               On behalf of Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P. and its
          affiliates and associates (collectively "RCBA"), we are pleased
          to confirm our interest and willingness to purchase all of the
          assets (the "Assets") of Triad Park LLC ("Triad").  The material
          terms and conditions of our offer will be as follows:

               Purchase Price.  RCBA will offer $32.14 million, all cash to
          Triad, to purchase the Assets.  If the transaction is ultimately
          structured as an acquisition of the outstanding shares of Triad,
          our offer will be $1.20 per share.  These prices are inclusive of
          the debt on the Property (as that term is defined in Triad's
          Information Statement filed with the SEC).  These prices are
          based on or derived from Triad's balance sheet, as of June 30,
          1997, and assume that there are no material changes thereto (such
          as, for example, sales of material properties including those for
          which offers are now pending).

               Structure.  RCBA intends to form a new entity to effect the
          acquisition of the Assets.  RCBA understands that the Triad Board
          has the power and authority to approve the transaction if it is
          structured as an asset acquisition, without shareholder approval. 
          RCBA believes that Lincoln's right of first offer should not be
          triggered by the proposed transaction, however structured, and we
          expect to work with Triad and Lincoln to confirm that
          understanding.

               Timing.  RCBA is prepared to complete due diligence and
          close the transaction within 30 days of acceptance of our offer.

               Exclusivity.  Triad will negotiate exclusively with RCBA for
          30 days.

               Confidentiality.  Triad will keep confidential the fact and
          proposed terms of the RCBA acquisition.

               Process.  RCBA's offer will be kept open for a reasonable
          period of time to allow its consideration by Triad's Board.  If
          Triad's Board wishes to accept our offer, we are prepared to
          devote immediately all necessary business and legal resources to
          the transaction and immediately execute definitive legal
          documentation reflecting the substance of our offer. <PAGE>



          CUSIP NO. 895914109        SCHEDULE 13D             Page 11 of 13


          Alternatively, if the offer has not been accepted by August 18,
          RCBA reserves the right to terminate its interest.

               Legal Documentation.  RCBA expects that there will be
          customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions
          in the legal documentation to effect the proposed transaction.

               Fees.  No finders', brokers' or other similar fee will be
          payable by RCBA in connection with the transaction.

               I look forward to chatting with you soon about our offer and
          moving forward to execute a binding agreement.  In my absence,
          please feel free to contact Rick Mariano or our General Counsel,
          Murray Indick.

          Sincerely,

          Richard C. Blum<PAGE>

          August 12, 1997


          Mr. Richard C. Blum
          President

          Dear Dick:

          Receipt of your offer letter dated August 11, 1997 regarding the
          Asset Acquisition or Stock Acquisition of Triad Park, LLC is
          acknowledged.  While the current structure of your offer is
          unacceptable at this time, we believe there is potential to
          consummate a transaction utilizing either an asset or stock
          format if the following points are addressed to the mutual
          satisfaction of the parties:

          1)   A more expansive quantitative offer that is more consistent
          with the value we expect to return to our shareholders based on
          the Sedway report and findings.  In addition, particularly
          because of your relationship to the Company, there must be a
          mechanism for the Company to consider other offers which may be
          more favorable to our shareholders.

          2)   If the transaction is structured as an asset sale then the
          following points need to be addressed:

               (a)  The acquiring entity is sufficiently capitalized and
          will assume Triad Park, LLC liabilities, specifically including
          the remaining obligation to build out infrastructure in the park;

               (b)  The acquiring entity shall execute an attornment
          agreement in favor of honoring the terms of the facility lease
          agreement with Cooperative Computing, Inc.;

               (c)  The acquiring entity shall indemnify and save Triad
          Park, LLC harmless (including the obligation to defend) from any
          claims arising from either Lincoln Property Company, Pacific
          Union Ventures, Inc., or any brokers relating to prior
          contractual terms regarding property within the Park;

               (d)  The property will be sold on a strictly "as-is" basis;
          and Triad Park, LLC shall assign and buyer shall assume the
          following pending sale agreements to the acquiring entity:

                 (i)  Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Property Company for
                      Lot 9A;
                (ii)  Purchase Agreement with Gibson-Speno/Ryland Homes
                      for Lots 1 and 2; and
               (iii)  Option Agreement with Reynolds and Brown for Lot 7.<PAGE>

          If you are interested in pursuing a transaction along the lines
          proposed herein, please respond immediately, otherwise we must
          proceed with our current marketing strategies already underway.

          Very truly yours,

          James R. Porter
