NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of the General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2 - GENERAL

The financial statements of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates
include the operations of Wendover Business Park Phase I ("Wendover") which is
the only property the Partnership owns and operates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 balances to conform to the
1997 presentation.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership paid
management fees of $1,583 and $1,536, respectively, to The Wynnewood Company, an
affiliate of the Partnership's General Partner.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Results of Operations

For the three month period ending March 31, 1997, the Partnership realized a net
loss of $12,318 compared to a net loss of $3,707 for the corresponding period of
1996.  The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to an increase in
depreciation expense.  Depreciation expense increased as a result of the
acquisition of approximately $151,000 of property improvements and replacements
during the fourth quarter 1996 and first quarter 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership held cash of $141,446.  The present cash
reserves of the Partnership are believed to be sufficient to meet the
foreseeable needs of the Partnership.

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership's remaining property was approximately 85%
leased.  Tenant rent concessions related to a new tenant occupying approximately
14,000 sq. ft. expired in March, 1997.  The tenant is now obligated to make
monthly rental payments.  Tenant improvements and leasing commissions in
connection with this lease were substantial and were funded from a combination
of existing cash reserves and rental concessions to the new tenant for the first
six-to-seven months of the lease.  The lease of another tenant occupying 3,150
sq. ft. expires at the end of April, 1997.  The tenant has indicated their
intention to renew its lease. Also a tenant occupying 6,960 sq. ft. has vacated
its space prior to the end of the lease. This tenant continues to pay monthly
rent.  However, it is anticipated that the space will be leased to a new tenant.

Management has received bids for a capital improvement program to be performed
over the next twelve to eighteen months involving principally roof and parking
lot repairs.  Total costs are estimated to be approximately $66,000 of which
$36,000 has been authorized for the current fiscal year.  Remaining cash
balances, along with projected cash flows, are believed to be sufficient to meet
estimated capital expenditures and any tenant improvements and leasing
commissions in connection with new leasing.
