            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
Tower Properties Company:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain
expenses (as defined -- Note 2) of 6601 College Building (the
Property), for the year ended December 31, 1994.  This statement
is the responsibility of the management of Tower Properties
Company (the Property's Acquirer).  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this financial statement based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statement is free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K of
Tower Properties Company) as described in Note 2 and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's revenues
and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and operating expenses
described in Note 2 of the Property for the year ended December
31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Tower Properties Company (TPC) acquired the 6601 College Building

consists of 101,200 rentable square feet.

TPC is in the process of obtaining an appraisal for the purpose
of allocating the specific components of cost.  The current
components of cost represent estimates made by TPC's management
and are not expected to be materially different from the
appraised values.  Depreciation has been calculated primarily
using the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS).  The
components of cost together with their depreciable lives are as
follows:

4.  DEBT SERVICE:
    -------------

TPC financed the Property acquisition with funds available from
an existing line of credit.  Management has a financing
commitment from a long-term lender for a $5,400,000 mortgage note
to bear interest at 7.4 percent, which is anticipated to close in
the first quarter of 1996.  For purposes of this estimate, 7.4
percent was used as the effective rate of interest for the
period.  The long-term mortgage note will be secured by the
Property.
