RE:   Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3
      Form 10-K
      File No. 0-14187


To Whom it May Concern:

The  accompanying  Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31, 1999  describes a
change in the method of  accounting to  capitalize  exterior  painting and major
landscaping,   which  would  have  been  expensed  under  the  old  policy.  The
Partnership believes that this accounting principle change is preferable because
it  provides a better  matching  of  expenses  with the  related  benefit of the
expenditures and it is consistent with industry practice and the policies of the
General Partner.

Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned with any questions or comments
that you might have.

Very truly yours,




Stephen Waters
Real Estate Controller

                                     PART I

Item 1.     Description of Business

Consolidated   Capital   Institutional   Properties/3   (the   "Registrant"   or
"Partnership") was organized on May 23, 1984, as a limited partnership under the
California  Uniform  Limited  Partnership  Act.  Commencing  July 23, 1985,  the
Partnership  offered,  pursuant  to a  Registration  Statement  filed  with  the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), 800,000 Units of Limited Partnership
Interests  (the  "Units")  at a  purchase  price of $250  per  unit.  The  Units
represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to
participate in certain  allocations and  distributions of the  Partnership.  The
sale of  Units  terminated  on May 15,  1987,  with  383,033  units  sold for an
aggregate of  $95,758,250.  Since its initial  offering,  the Registrant has not
received,  nor  are  limited  partners  required  to  make,  additional  capital
contributions.

The general  partner of the Partnership is ConCap  Equities,  Inc. ("CEI" or the
"General Partner"), a Delaware corporation.  The General Partner is a subsidiary
of Apartment  Investment  and  Management  Company  ("AIMCO").  The  Partnership
Agreement  provides  that the  Partnership  is to terminate on December 31, 2015
unless terminated prior to such date.

The  Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate
properties for investment.  The  Partnership was formed,  for the benefit of its
Limited  Partners  (herein so called and together with the General Partner shall
be called the  "Partners"),  to lend funds to ConCap Equity  Partners/3,  ConCap
Equity  Partners/4,  and ConCap Equity  Partners/5  ("EP/3",  "EP/4" and "EP/5",
respectively).  EP/3, EP/4 and EP/5 represent California limited partnerships in
which certain of the partners were former  shareholders and former management of
Consolidated Capital Equities Corporation ("CCEC"), the former corporate general
partner of the Partnership.

Through  December 31,  1994,  the  Partnership  had made twelve  specific  loans
against a Master Loan agreement and advanced a total of $67,300,000 (the "Master
Loan").  EP/3 used  $17,300,000  of the loaned funds to purchase  two  apartment
complexes and one office building.  EP/4 used $34,700,000 of the loaned funds to
purchase  four  apartment   complexes  and  one  office   building,   which  was
subsequently sold in 1989. EP/5 used $15,300,000 of the loaned funds to purchase
two  apartment  complexes  and  two  office  buildings.   Through  a  series  of
transactions,  the  Partnership  has  acquired  all of  EP/3,  EP/4  and  EP/5's
properties in full  settlement of their  liability  under the Master Loan. For a
brief  description of the properties owned by the Partnership  refer to "Item 2.
Description of Properties".

Prior to 1989, the  Partnership had loaned  $17,300,000 to EP/3,  $34,700,000 to
EP/4 and $15,300,000 to EP/5,  subject to non-recourse  notes with participation
interests  (collectively referred to as the "Master Loan"), pursuant to a Master
Loan Agreement  dated February 26, 1986,  between the Partnership and EP/3, EP/4
and EP/5.  The  Partnership  secured  the  Master  Loan  with  deeds of trust or
mortgages on real  properties  and by the  assignment  and pledge of  promissory
notes  from the  partners  of  EP/3,  EP/4  and  EP/5.  In  November  1994,  the
Partnership  entered into an agreement with EP/3 whereby one property was deeded
in lieu of foreclosure  to the  Partnership  and  foreclosure  proceedings  were
instituted by the Partnership on the other asset which collateralized the Master
Loan.  The  Partnership  assumed a note payable of  approximately  $1,200,000 in
exchange for full settlement of EP/3's  liability under the Master Loan.  During
1992, the Partnership foreclosed on the last remaining EP/4 apartment complex in
full  settlement  of EP/4's  liability  under the Master Loan.  Previously,  the
Partnership  foreclosed  on three  of  EP/4's  apartment  complexes  and  EP/4's
interest in one note receivable secured by the office building sold in 1989, and
acquired  EP/5's two  apartment  complexes  and two office  buildings  through a
transfer of ownership in full  settlement of EP/5's  liability  under the Master
Loan.

During 1993, the major tenant who occupied 95% of the Sutter D Office  Building,
one of the three EP/3 properties  collateralizing the Master Loan, did not renew
its lease and vacated the building.  EP/3 was unable to replace the tenant under
terms  that were  economically  viable for the  property  and  defaulted  on the
approximately  $2,100,000  third  party  mortgage  debt  secured by the Sutter D
Office Building. During 1994, the Sutter D Office Building serving as collateral
for the Master Loan was posted for  foreclosure  by the first  lienholder.  This
foreclosure had no gain or loss effect to the Partnership.

In November 1994, the  Partnership  entered into a settlement  with EP/3 whereby
the  Williamsburg  Manor  Apartments  were deeded in lieu of  foreclosure to the
Partnership and foreclosure proceedings were initiated by the Partnership on the
Sandpiper I and II  Apartments,  the remaining  properties  collateralizing  the
Master  Loan.  The  Partnership  also  assumed a note  payable of  approximately
$1,200,000 in exchange for full  settlement  of EP/3's  liability for the Master
Loan and  recognized a net loss of  approximately  $413,000 on the settlement of
the Master Loan at December 31, 1994.

As a result of the fact  that:  (1) EP/3 had no equity in the  Sandpiper  I & II
Apartments,  considering  the then  estimated  fair value of the  property;  (2)
proceeds for repayment of the portion of the Master Loan  collateralized  by the
Sandpiper I & II Apartments  were  expected to come only from the  operations or
sale  of the  property;  and  (3)  EP/3  effectively  abandoned  control  of the
Sandpiper  I &  II  Apartments  when  EP/3  and  the  Partnership  executed  the
settlement  agreement in November  1994,  whereby EP/3 agreed to transfer to the
Partnership  the full and  unrestricted  right to  possession,  management,  and
control  of the  property  and  not to  contest,  hinder  or  delay  a  judicial
foreclosure  action  initiated by the  Partnership,  the Partnership  deemed the
Sandpiper  I & II  Apartments  in-substance  foreclosed  at November  30,  1994.
Foreclosure  proceedings  were  initiated in 1994 and  completed  in 1995.  As a
result of the transactions  described above, the Master Loan was settled in full
during 1994.

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1984, CCEC, a Colorado corporation,  was the
corporate general partner. In 1988, through a series of transactions,  Southmark
Corporation  ("Southmark")  acquired  controlling  interest in CCEC. In December
1988,  CCEC filed for  reorganization  under  Chapter  11 of the  United  States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). In 1990, as part of CCEC's  reorganization plan,
CEI acquired CCEC's general partner interests in the Partnership and in 15 other
affiliated public limited  partnerships (the "Affiliated  Partnerships") and CEI
replaced CCEC as managing general partner in all 16 partnerships.  The selection
of CEI as the sole  managing  general  partner was approved by a majority of the
limited  partners in the Partnership and in each of the Affiliated  Partnerships
pursuant to a  solicitation  of the Limited  Partners  dated August 10, 1990. As
part of this  solicitation,  the Limited  Partners also approved an amendment to
the Partnership Agreement to limit changes of control of the Partnership.

Prior to December 1994, all of CEI's  outstanding stock was owned by GII Realty,
Inc.  In  December  1994,  the  parent  of  GII  Realty,  Inc.,  entered  into a
transaction  (the  "Insignia  Transaction")  in which an  affiliate  of Insignia
Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia")  acquired an option (exercisable in whole or
in part from time to time) to purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and,
pursuant to a partial exercise of such option,  acquired 50.5% of that stock. As
part of the Insignia  Transaction,  the Insignia  affiliate also acquired all of
the  outstanding  stock of  Coventry  Properties,  Inc.,  a property  management
entity.   In  addition,   confidentiality,   non-competition,   and   standstill
arrangements   were  entered  into  between   certain  of  the  parties.   Those
arrangements,  among other things, prohibit GII Realty's former sole shareholder
from  purchasing  Partnership  Units for a period of three years. On October 24,
1995, the Insignia  affiliate  exercised the remaining  portion of its option to
purchase all of the remaining  outstanding  capital stock of GII Realty, Inc. As
of December 31, 1999,  Insignia  Properties Trust, an affiliate of AIMCO,  owned
100% of the outstanding stock of CEI.

At December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned seven apartment complexes located in
Florida, North Carolina, Washington, Michigan, Utah and Colorado, which range in
age  from  14 to 31  years  old.  The  Partnership's  remaining  two  commercial
complexes were sold during 1999.

The Registrant  has no employees.  Management  and  administrative  services are
provided by the General Partner and by agents  retained by the General  Partner.
An affiliate of the General Partner has been providing such property  management
services.

The  real  estate  business  in which  the  Partnership  is  engaged  is  highly
competitive.  There are other  residential  properties within the market area of
the Partnership's properties.  The number and quality of competitive properties,
including those which may be managed by an affiliate of the General Partner,  in
such  market  area  could have a  material  effect on the rental  market for the
apartments at the Partnership's properties and the rents that may be charged for
such apartments. While the General Partner and its affiliates own and/or control
a  significant  number of  apartment  units in the  United  States,  such  units
represent an  insignificant  percentage of total  apartment  units in the United
States and competition for the apartments is local.

Both  the  income  and  expenses  of  operating  the  properties  owned  by  the
Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership's control, such as
changes in the supply and demand for similar  properties  resulting from various
market  conditions,  increases/decreases  in unemployment or population  shifts,
changes in the availability of permanent mortgage  financing,  changes in zoning
laws,  or changes in patterns or needs of users.  In  addition,  there are risks
inherent in owning and operating residential  properties because such properties
are  susceptible to the impact of economic and other  conditions  outside of the
control of the Partnership.

There have been,  and it is possible  there may be other,  Federal,  state,  and
local  legislation  and  regulations  enacted  relating to the protection of the
environment.  The Partnership is unable to predict the extent,  if any, to which
such new  legislation  or  regulations  might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.

The Partnership  monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants,  toxins and
other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain cases
environmental  testing has been performed which resulted in no material  adverse
conditions or liabilities.  In no case has the Partnership  received notice that
it is a potentially  responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up
site.

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations"
included in "Item 7." of this Form 10-K.





Transfer of Control

Pursuant  to a series  of  transactions  which  closed  on  October  1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999,  Insignia and Insignia  Properties Trust merged into AIMCO, a
publicly  traded real estate  investment  trust,  with AIMCO being the surviving
corporation (the "Insignia Merger").  As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership
interest in the General Partner.  The General Partner does not believe that this
transaction has had or will have a material effect on the affairs and operations
of the Partnership.

The  General  Partner  attributes  the  occupancy  increase  at Park  Capital to
increased marketing efforts and improved curbside appearance.

As noted under "Item 1.  Description of Business",  the real estate  industry is
highly competitive. The Partnership's properties are subject to competition from
other residential  apartment complexes in the area. The General Partner believes
that all of the properties are adequately insured.  The multifamily  residential
properties'  lease terms are for one year or less. No residential  tenant leases
10% or more of the available  rental space.  All of the  properties  are in good
physical  condition,  subject to normal  depreciation  and  deterioration  as is
typical for assets of this type and age.

Schedule of Real Estate Taxes and Rates

Real estate taxes and rates for each property were as follows:

                                                 1999            1999

improvements  at  the  property,   consisting  primarily  of  carpet  and  vinyl
replacements,   interior  decorating,   building  structural  improvements,  and
appliances.  These  improvements  were  funded  primarily  from  the  property's
replacement  reserves and  operating  cash flow.  The  Partnership  is currently
evaluating the capital  improvement needs of the property for the upcoming year.
The  minimum  amount to be  budgeted is expected to be $300 per unit or $31,200.
Additional  improvements  may be  considered  and will  depend  on the  physical
condition of the property as well as replacement  reserves and anticipated  cash
flow generated by the property.

Hidden Cove by the Lake

During  1999,  the   Partnership   spent   approximately   $551,000  on  capital

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial  Group,  Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs  named as defendants,  among others,
the   Partnership,   the  General  Partner  and  several  of  their   affiliated
partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging  the  acquisition  by Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc.
("Insignia")  and  entities  which  were,  at one time,  affiliates  of Insignia
("Insignia  Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities,  past
tender offers by Insignia  Affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units, the
management of partnerships  by Insignia  Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see
"Item 8.  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data,  Note B - Transfer of
Control").  The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and equitable relief, including
judicial  dissolution of the Partnership.  On June 25, 1998, the General Partner
filed a motion  seeking  dismissal of the action.  In lieu of  responding to the
motion,  the plaintiffs  have filed an amended  complaint.  The General  Partner
filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard February 1999. Pending
the ruling on such demurrers,  settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2,
1999,  the parties  executed and filed a  Stipulation  of  Settlement,  settling
claims,  subject to final court  approval,  on behalf of the Partnership and all
limited partners who own units as of November 3, 1999.  Preliminary  approval of
the  settlement  was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Superior Court of the
State of  California,  County of San Mateo,  at which time the Court set a final
approval  hearing for December 10, 1999.  Prior to the December 10, 1999 hearing
the Court received various  objections to the settlement,  including a challenge
to the Court's preliminary  approval based upon the alleged lack of authority of
class  plaintiffs'  counsel to enter the  settlement.  On December 14, 1999, the
General Partner and its affiliates  terminated the proposed settlement.  Certain
plaintiffs have filed a motion to disqualify some of the plaintiffs'  counsel in
the action.  The General Partner does not anticipate that costs  associated with
this case will be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

The  Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding  litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, no matter was submitted to a vote of
the Unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.





                                     PART II

Item 5.     Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related
            Stockholders Matters

The  Partnership,  a publicly  held limited  partnership,  sold 383,033  limited
partnership units aggregating $95,758,250.  The Partnership currently has 11,082
holders of record of Limited  Partnership  Units  owning an aggregate of 383,033
units.  Affiliates of the General  Partner owned  176,647.7  units or 46.118% at
December 31, 1999. No public trading market has developed for the Units,  and it
is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.

The following table sets forth the distributions made by the Partnership for the
years ended  December 31,  1997,  1998 and 1999,  as well as for the  subsequent
period  from  January 1, 2000 to  January  31,  2000 (see "Item 7.  Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations"  for
further details).

(1)   Consists of $2,438,000 of cash from  operations  and  $11,569,000  of cash
      from previously undistributed surplus funds from a 1996 refinancing.

(2)   Distribution was made from cash from operations.

(3)   Consists of $7,359,000 of cash from  operations  and  $16,260,000  of cash
      from property sales during 1998 and 1999.

Future  cash  distributions  will  depend on the levels of cash  generated  from
operations, timing of debt maturities,  refinancings,  and/or property sales and
the availability of cash reserves as discussed in "Note H - Commitment" in "Item
8" of this Form 10-K.  The  Partnership's  distribution  policy is reviewed on a
quarterly basis. There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Partnership will
generate sufficient funds from operations,  after required capital expenditures,
to permit further  distributions to its partners in 2000 or subsequent  periods.
See "Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of  Operations"  for a  description  of  restrictions  on the payment of
distributions as a result of certain reserve requirements.

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
General  Partner,  during the years ended  December 31, 1999,  1998,  1997. As a
result of these tender offers, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 176,647.70
limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership  representing  46.118%  of the
outstanding  units. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or
more additional offers to acquire  additional limited  partnership  interests in
the Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership
of AIMCO.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to significantly  influence all
voting  decisions  with  respect  to  the  Registrant.   Under  the  Partnership
Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority  of the Units are  entitled  to take
action with respect to a variety of matters. When voting on matters, AIMCO would
in all  likelihood  vote the  Units it  acquired  in a manner  favorable  to the
interest of the General  Partner because of their  affiliation  with the General
Partner.

Item 7.     Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Conditions and
            Results of Operations

The  matters  discussed  in  this  Form  10-K  contain  certain  forward-looking
statements  and  involve  risks and  uncertainties  (including  changing  market
conditions,   competitive  and  regulatory   matters,   etc.)  detailed  in  the
disclosures  contained  in  this  Form  10-K  and the  other  filings  with  the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time. The
discussion of the  Registrant's  business and results of  operations,  including
forward-looking  statements  pertaining  to such  matters,  does not  take  into
account the effects of any changes to the  Registrant's  business and results of
operations.  Accordingly,  actual  results  could differ  materially  from those
projected in the forward-looking  statements as a result of a number of factors,
including those identified herein.

This item should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and other
items contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

1999 Compared with 1998

The  Partnership had net income of  approximately  $6,753,000 for the year ended
December  31,  1999,  compared to  approximately  $7,883,000  for the year ended
December  31, 1998.  The decrease in net income for the year ended  December 31,
1999 is primarily attributable to a larger gain on the sale of properties during
1998 than during 1999 (see discussion below).

As the result of the sale of South City Business Center and Corporate  Center in
1999, as discussed  below,  the results of  operations  of these two  commercial
properties  were  classified  as "Income from  discontinued  operations"  on the
statements of operations.  The decrease in income from  discontinued  operations
for the year ended  December 31, 1999 is primarily due to the sale of South City
in July which  resulted in only six months of operations  for 1999 compared to a
full year in 1998 and only nine months of operations  for  Corporate  Center for
1999 compared to a full year in 1998.

Excluding  the  results of the  discontinued  operations  discussed  above,  the
Partnership had income from continuing  operations before the extraordinary item
of  approximately  $2,459,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999,  compared to
approximately  $7,706,000  for the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in
net income is  primarily  attributable  to the gain on the sale of City  Heights
Apartments in November 1998 as discussed below.

Excluding  the  operations of and gain on sale of City Heights  Apartments,  the
Partnership had income of  approximately  $2,479,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999,  compared to approximately  $1,985,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998.  The increase in income is due to increased  total  revenues and decreased
total  expenses.  Total revenues  increased due to an increase in rental income.
Rental  income  increased  due to increased  average  rental rates at all of the
Partnership's  properties  which was  partially  offset by increased  concession
costs at  Williamsburg,  Sandpiper I& II and Cedar Rim.  Decreased  occupancy at
Cedar Rim and Sandpiper I & II was offset by increased occupancy at Park Capital
and Tamarac Village.

Total  expenses  decreased due primarily to decreased  operating  expenses which
were partially offset by increased  depreciation  expense,  property tax expense
and general and administrative  expense.  Operating expenses decreased primarily
due to decreased  maintenance expenses at most of the Partnership's  properties,
decreased property insurance expense at all the Partnership's  properties due to
a change in insurance  carriers late in 1998, and reduced employee payroll costs
at  Williamsburg,  Sandpiper  I & II, and Park  Capital.  These  decreases  were
partially  offset by increased water charges  primarily at Tamarac and increased
property management fees at most of the Partnership's  properties.  Depreciation
expense increased due to capital  improvements  completed during the past twelve
months which are now being depreciated. Property tax expense increased primarily
due to a refund  received during 1998 at Cedar Rim of taxes paid in prior years,
and an  increase in  assessed  value for 1999 at Tamarac  Village and Cedar Rim.
General and  administrative  expenses increased due primarily to increased legal
expenses due to the  settlement  of a lawsuit as disclosed in the  Partnership's
Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1998 and
increased  professional  fees,  partially offset by reduced printing and mailing
costs.  Included in general and  administrative  expenses at December  31, 1999,
1998,  and 1997, are  reimbursements  to the General  Partner  allowed under the
Partnership  Agreement  associated  with its management of the  Partnership.  In
addition,  costs  associated with the quarterly and annual  communications  with
investors  and  regulatory  agencies  and  the  annual  audit  required  by  the
Partnership Agreement are included.

In November 1998, City Heights Apartments,  located in Seattle,  Washington, was
sold to an  unaffiliated  party  for  $9,300,000.  After  payoff of the debt and
payment of closing expenses,  the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership
was approximately  $5,787,000.  The proceeds were distributed to the partners in
January 1999. For financial statement  purposes,  the sale resulted in a gain of
approximately  $5,482,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The  Partnership
also  recorded  an  extraordinary  loss  on  early  extinguishment  of  debt  of
approximately $325,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 as the result of the
payment of prepayment  penalties and the write-off of the remaining  unamortized
loan costs.  During the year ended  December 31,  1999, a loss of  approximately
$192,000  was  recorded  due to the  write-off  of an  uncollectible  receivable
established at the time of the sale.

In June 1999,  South City Business Center,  located in Chula Vista,  California,
was sold to an  unaffiliated  party for  $6,962,000.  After  payment  of closing
expenses,  the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership were approximately
$6,569,000.  For financial  statement  purposes,  the sale resulted in a gain of
approximately $2,296,000.

In October 1999,  Corporate Center,  located in Tampa,  Florida,  was sold to an
unaffiliated  party for $4,175,000.  After payment of closing expenses,  the net
sales proceeds received by the Partnership were  approximately  $3,884,000.  For
financial  statement  purposes,  the sale  resulted  in a gain of  approximately
$1,914,000.  South City  Business  Center  and  Corporate  Center  were the last
commercial  properties in the commercial segment of the Partnership.  The income
of the properties has been classified as "Income from  discontinued  operations"
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior  painting and major landscaping on a prospective
basis.  The  Partnership  believes  that  this  accounting  principle  change is
preferable  because it provides a better  matching of expenses  with the related
benefit of the expenditures and it is consistent with industry  practice and the
policies  of the  General  Partner.  The  effect  of the  change  in 1999 was to
increase income by approximately  $226,000 ($0.58 per limited partnership unit).
The cumulative  effect,  had this change been applied to prior  periods,  is not
material.  The accounting principle change will not have an effect on cash flow,
funds  available  for  distribution  or fees payable to the General  Partner and
affiliates.

1998 Compared with 1997

The  Partnership had net income of  approximately  $7,883,000 for the year ended
December  31,  1998  compared  to  approximately  $1,936,000  for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  The increase in net income is primarily  attributable  to an
increase in total revenues and to a lesser extent, a decrease in total expenses.
The  increase  in net  income  was  offset  by an  extraordinary  loss on  early
extinguishment  of debt as a result of the sale of City Heights.  Total revenues
increased  primarily  due to a gain  realized  on the  sale of City  Heights  in
November 1998 and to a lesser extent,  increased rental revenue.  Rental revenue
increased  as a result of improved  occupancy  at  Lamplighter  Park and Tamarac
Village  as  well  as  increased  rental  rates  at  most  of the  Partnership's
investment  properties,  which more than offset  decreases in occupancy at Cedar
Rim, Park  Capital,  and  Williamsburg  Manor.  These  increases in revenue were
partially  offset by a decrease in other  income.  Other  income  decreased as a
result of reduced  interest income due to lower average cash balances  resulting
from larger distributions paid to the partners in 1997. Total expenses decreased
primarily as a result of a decrease in operating  expenses,  partially offset by
increases  in general and  administrative  expenses  and  depreciation  expense.
Operating expenses  decreased  primarily due to a reduction in major repairs and
maintenance  expenses  at  Tamarac  Village,  Park  Capital,  City  Heights  and
Williamsburg  Manor.  Depreciation  expense increased due to the increase in the
depreciable asset base at several of the  Partnership's  properties from capital
additions  of  approximately  $1,590,000  and  $1,692,000  during 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  General and  administrative  expenses  increased due primarily to
increased printing and mailing costs related to correspondence  with the limited
partners.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the General  Partner
monitors the rental market  environment of each of its investment  properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents,  maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting  the  Partnership  from increases in expenses.  As part of
this plan,  the General  Partner  attempts to protect the  Partnership  from the
burden of  inflation-related  increases  in  expenses  by  increasing  rents and
maintaining a high overall  occupancy  level.  However,  due to changing  market
conditions,  which  can  result  in the use of  rental  concessions  and  rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership  held  cash and cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $5,451,000 compared to approximately  $14,189,000 at December 31,
1998. The decrease in cash and cash  equivalents for the year ended December 31,
1999,  from the  Partnership's  year ended December 31, 1998, was  approximately
$8,738,000 and is due to approximately $23,619,000 used in financing activities,
which was  partially  offset by  approximately  $5,842,000  of cash  provided by
operating activities and approximately  $9,039,000 of cash provided by investing
activities.  Cash used in financing activities consisted of distributions to the
partners.  Cash provided by investing  activities consisted of proceeds from the
sales of South  City  Business  Center  and  Corporate  Center,  and to a lesser
extent,  net receipts  from  restricted  escrows,  partially  offset by property
improvements and replacements.

At  December  31,  1998,  the  Partnership  held  cash and cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $14,189,000 compared to approximately  $5,054,000 at December 31,
1997. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due to $6,117,000 provided by
operating activities and $7,857,000 provided by investing activities,  which was
partially  offset by $4,839,000 used in financing  activities.  Cash provided by
investing  activities  consisted of sale proceeds from the sale of City Heights,
proceeds from an  investment  that matured in May of 1998 and  withdrawals  from
escrow   accounts   maintained  by  the  mortgage   lender  offset  by  property
improvements and replacements.  Cash used in financing  activities  consisted of
the payoff of mortgage debt at City Heights as a result of the sale,  prepayment
penalties  incurred  to  extinguish  City  Height's  debt and  distributions  to
partners.

The sufficiency of existing  liquid assets to meet future  liquidity and capital
expenditure   requirements   is  directly   related  to  the  level  of  capital
expenditures  required at the  properties  to  adequately  maintain the physical
assets and other  operating  needs of the Registrant and to comply with Federal,
state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Partnership is currently
evaluating  the capital  improvement  needs of the  properties  for the upcoming
year.  The  minimum  amount to be  budgeted  is  expected to be $300 per unit or
$466,800.  Additional  improvements  may be  considered  and will  depend on the
physical  condition  of the  properties  as well  as  replacement  reserves  and
anticipated cash flow generated by the properties. The capital expenditures will
be  incurred  only if cash is  available  from  operations  or from  Partnership
reserves.  To the extent that such budgeted  capital  improvements are required,
the Registrant's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected.

The  Partnership is required by the  Partnership  Agreement to maintain  working
capital  reserves for  contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital
as defined by the Partnership Agreement. In the event expenditures are made from
this reserve, operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserve to the extent
necessary  to  maintain  the  foregoing  level.  Reserves,  including  cash  and
securities available for sale, totaling approximately $5.5 million, were greater
than the reserve requirement of approximately $2.6 million.

The Partnership's  current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs  (exclusive  of capital  improvements)  of the  Registrant.  The  mortgage
indebtedness  of  $27,925,000  has maturity dates ranging from 2003 to 2005. The
General  Partner  will attempt to refinance  such  indebtedness  and/or sell the
properties prior to such maturity dates. If the properties  cannot be refinanced
or sold for a sufficient  amount, the Registrant may risk losing such properties
through foreclosure.

During the year ended  December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership  declared and paid
distributions   in  the  amount  of  approximately   $7,359,000   (approximately
$7,286,000 to the limited partners or $19.02 per limited  partnership unit) from
operations  and  approximately  $16,260,000  (approximately  $16,097,000  to the
limited  partners or $42.03 per limited  partnership  unit) from sales  proceeds
from the sales of City  Heights,  South  City  Business  Center,  and  Corporate
Center.  Subsequent to December 31, 1999,  the  Partnership  declared and paid a
distribution   from  operations  of  approximately   $1,500,000   (approximately
$1,485,000  to the  limited  partners or $3.88 per  limited  partnership  unit).
During the year ended  December  31,  1998,  the  Partnership  declared and paid
distributions   in  the  amount  of  approximately   $1,980,000   (approximately
$1,960,000 to the limited partners or $5.12 per limited  partnership  unit) from
operations.  During the year ended December 31, 1997, the  Partnership  declared
and paid distributions in the amount of approximately $2,438,000  (approximately
$2,414,000 to the limited partners or $6.30 per limited  partnership  unit) from
operations  and  approximately  $11,569,000  (approximately  $11,428,000  to the
limited  partners or $29.83 per limited  partnership  unit) from surplus  funds.
Future  cash  distributions  will  depend on the levels of cash  generated  from
operations, timing of debt maturities,  refinancings, and/or property sales, and
the  availability of cash reserves.  The  Partnership's  distribution  policy is
reviewed on a quarterly  basis.  There can be no  assurance,  however,  that the
Partnership  will  generate  sufficient  funds from  operations  after  required
capital expenditures to permit further distributions to its partners in the year
2000 or subsequent periods.

Tender Offers

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. As a
result of these tender offers, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 176,647.70
limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership  representing  46.118%  of the
outstanding  units. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or
more additional offers to acquire  additional limited  partnership  interests in
the Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership
of AIMCO.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to significantly  influence all
voting  decisions  with  respect  to  the  Registrant.   Under  the  Partnership
Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority  of the Units are  entitled  to take
action with respect to a variety of matters. When voting on matters, AIMCO would
in all  likelihood  vote the  Units it  acquired  in a manner  favorable  to the
interest of the General  Partner because of their  affiliation  with the General
Partner.

Year 2000 Compliance

General Description

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. The Partnership is
dependent  upon the  General  Partner  and its  affiliates  for  management  and
administrative services ("Managing Agent"). Any of the Managing Agent's computer
programs or hardware that had  date-sensitive  software or embedded  chips might
have  recognized  a date using "00" as the year 1900  rather than the year 2000.
This  could  have  resulted  in a  system  failure  or  miscalculations  causing
disruptions of operations,  including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process  transactions,  send invoices,  or engage in similar normal  business
activities.

Computer Hardware, Software and Operating Equipment

In 1999,  the Managing  Agent  completed  all phases of its Year 2000 program by
completing  the  replacement  and repair of any  hardware or software  system or
operating  equipment that was not yet Year 2000 compliant.  The Managing Agent's
hardware  and software  systems and its  operating  equipment  are now Year 2000
compliant.  No  material  failure or  erroneous  results  have  occurred  in the
Managing Agent's computer  applications  related to the failure to reference the
Year 2000 to date.

Third Parties

To  date,  the  Managing  Agent  is not  aware of any  significant  supplier  or
subcontractor  (external agent) or financial institution of the Partnership that
has a Year 2000 issue that  would  have a material  impact on the  Partnership's
results of operations,  liquidity or capital  resources.  However,  the Managing
Agent  has no means of  ensuring  or  determining  the Year 2000  compliance  of
external  agents.  At this time, the Managing Agent does not believe that a Year
2000 issue of any  non-compliant  external agent will have a material  impact on
the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

Costs

The total cost of the Managing Agent's Year 2000 project was approximately  $3.2
million and was funded from operating cash flows.

Risks Associated with the Year 2000

The Managing  Agent  completed all necessary  phases of its Year 2000 program in
1999,  and did not  experience  system or  equipment  malfunctions  related to a
failure to reference the Year 2000. The Managing  Agent or Partnership  have not
been  materially  adversely  effected by  disruptions  in the economy  generally
resulting from the Year 2000 issue.

At this  time,  the  Managing  Agent  does not  believe  that the  Partnership's
businesses,  results of  operations  or financial  condition  will be materially
adversely effected by the Year 2000 issue.

Contingency Plans Associated with the Year 2000

The  Managing  Agent has not had to implement  contingency  plans such as manual
workarounds or selecting new relationships for its banking or elevator operation
activities in order to avoid the Year 2000 issue.





Item 7a.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The  Partnership  is exposed to market  risks from  adverse  changes in interest
rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned
on the  Partnership's  cash and cash equivalents as well as interest paid on its
indebtedness.  As a policy,  the  Partnership  does not engage in speculative or
leveraged  transactions,  nor does it hold or issue  financial  instruments  for
trading  purposes.  The  Partnership  is exposed to  changes in  interest  rates
primarily as a result of its borrowing activities used to maintain liquidity and
fund  business  operations.  To  mitigate  the  impact of  fluctuations  in U.S.
interest rates,  the  Partnership  maintains its debt as fixed rate in nature by
borrowing on a long-term basis.  Based on interest rates at December 31, 1999, a
1%  increase  or  decrease  in market  interest  rates would not have a material
impact on the Partnership.

The following table  summarizes the  Partnership's  debt obligations at December
31, 1999.  The interest rates  represent the  weighted-average  rates.  The fair
value of the Partnership's  debt approximates its carrying amount as of December
31, 1999.

              Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors



The Partners

Consolidated Capital Institutional Properties/3


We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets  of  Consolidated  Capital
Institutional  Properties/3  as of December  31, 1999 and 1998,  and the related
statements of operations,  changes in partners' (deficit) capital and cash flows
for each of the  three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1999.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

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

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,   the  financial   position  of  Consolidated   Capital
Institutional  Properties/3 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
its  operations  and its cash  flows for each of the three  years in the  period
ended  December 31, 1999, in conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States.

As discussed in Note N to the financial statements,  the Partnership changed its
method of  accounting  to  capitalize  the cost of exterior  painting  and major
landscaping effective January 1, 1999.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                December 31, 1999

Note A - Organization of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Consolidated  Capital  Institutional  Properties/3  (the  "Partnership"  or  the
"Registrant"),  a California limited partnership, was formed on May 23, 1984, to
lend funds through non-recourse notes with participation  interests (the "Master
Loan").  The loans were made to, and the real  properties that secure the Master
Loan were  purchased  and owned by,  ConCap  Equity  Partners/3,  ConCap  Equity
Partners/4,   and  ConCap  Equity  Partners/5,   ("EP/3",  "EP/4",  and  "EP/5",
respectively), California limited partnerships, in which certain of the partners
were former shareholders and former management of Consolidated  Capital Equities
Corporation ("CCEC").  The Partnership entered into a Master Loan Agreement with
EP/3, EP/4, and EP/5, pursuant to which the aggregate principal would not exceed
the  net  amount  raised  by  the   Partnership's   offering  of   approximately
$96,000,000.

Upon the Partnership's formation in 1984, CCEC, a Colorado corporation,  was the
corporate general partner. In December 1988, CCEC filed for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11"). In 1990, as part
of CCEC's  reorganization  plan, ConCap Equities,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation
(the "General  Partner" or "CEI") acquired  CCEC's general partner  interests in
the  Partnership  and in 15 other  affiliated  public limited  partnerships  and
replaced CCEC as managing  general partner in all 16  partnerships.  The General
Partner  is  a  subsidiary  of  Apartment   Investment  and  Management  Company
("AIMCO"). See "Note B - Transfer of Control". The directors and officers of the
General  Partner  also serve as  executive  officers of AIMCO.  The  Partnership
Agreement  provides  that the  Partnership  is to terminate on December 31, 2015
unless terminated prior to such date.

Prior to December 1994, all of CEI's  outstanding stock was owned by GII Realty,
Inc.  In  December  1994,  the  parent  of  GII  Realty,  Inc.,  entered  into a
transaction  (the  "Insignia  Transaction")  in which an  affiliate  of Insignia
Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia")  acquired an option (exercisable in whole or
in part from time to time) to purchase all of the stock of GII Realty, Inc. and,
pursuant to a partial exercise of such option,  acquired 50.5% of that stock. As
part of the Insignia  Transaction,  the Insignia  affiliate also acquired all of
the  outstanding  stock of  Coventry  Properties,  Inc.,  a property  management
entity.   In  addition,   confidentiality,   non-competition,   and   standstill
arrangements   were  entered  into  between   certain  of  the  parties.   Those
arrangements,  among other things, prohibit GII Realty's former sole shareholder
from  purchasing  Partnership  Units for a period of three years. On October 24,
1995, the Insignia  affiliate  exercised the remaining  portion of its option to
purchase all of the remaining  outstanding  capital stock of GII Realty, Inc. As
of December 31, 1999,  Insignia  Properties  Trust,  an affiliate of AIMCO owned
100% of the outstanding stock of CEI. At December 31, 1999, affiliates of AIMCO,
owned 176,647.70 Units of the Partnership.

The  Partnership  operates seven  apartment  properties  located  throughout the
United States.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Includes cash on hand and in banks and money market accounts.  At certain times,
the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits.

Cash  balances  include  approximately  $1,107,000 at December 31, 1999 that are
maintained by the affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities
in a cash concentration account.

Tenant Security Deposits

The Partnership  requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the
lease, and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits.  The security
deposits  are  refunded  when the tenant  vacates,  provided  the tenant has not
damaged its space and is current on its rental payments.

Restricted Escrows

As a result of the refinancing of Williamsburg Manor,  Sandpiper I & II and Park
Capital in 1995 and Lamplighter Park, Tamarac Village, Hidden Cove and Cedar Rim
in 1996, the following reserves were established:

      Capital Improvement Reserve - As part of the refinancings,  the properties
      deposited  $1,416,000  in 1996 and  $843,000  in 1995  with  the  mortgage
      companies to establish a Capital  Reserve  designated for certain  capital
      improvements.  At December 31, 1999,  all of the funds had been  withdrawn
      from this  reserve.  At December 31, 1998 and 1997,  this reserve  totaled
      approximately $593,000 and $1,400,000, respectively.

      Replacement Reserve - As a result of the refinancings, each property makes
      monthly   deposits  to  establish  and  maintain  a  Replacement   Reserve
      designated for repairs and replacements at the properties. At December 31,
      1999,  1998,  and  1997,  this  reserve  totaled  approximately  $868,000,
      $848,000, and $741,000, respectively.

Investment Properties

Investment  properties  consist of seven  apartment  complexes and are stated at
cost.  Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate.  In accordance
with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of", the  Partnership  records  impairment  losses on long-lived  assets used in
operations  when  events and  circumstances  indicate  that the assets  might be
impaired  and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated  to be generated by those
assets are less than the carrying  amounts of those assets.  Costs of investment
properties  that have  been  permanently  impaired  have  been  written  down to
appraised  value.  No  adjustments  for impairment of value were recorded in the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, or 1997.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of
the apartment  properties and related personal property.  For Federal income tax
purposes,  the  accelerated  cost recovery  method is used (1) for real property
over 15 years for  additions  prior to March 16,  1984,  18 years for  additions
after March 15, 1984 and before May 9, 1985,  and 19 years for  additions  after
May 8, 1985, and before  January 1, 1987,  and (2) for personal  property over 5
years for additions  prior to January 1, 1987. As a result of the Tax Reform Act
of 1986, for additions  after December 31, 1986, the modified  accelerated  cost
recovery method is used for  depreciation of (1) real property over 27 1/2 years
and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the costs of exterior painting and major landscaping (Note N).

Leases

The Partnership  leases its residential  properties under  short-term  operating
leases. Lease terms are generally one year or less in duration.  The Partnership
recognizes  income as earned on its leases.  In addition,  the General Partner's
policy is to offer rental concessions  during periods of declining  occupancy or
in response  to heavy  competition  from other  similar  complexes  in the area.
Concessions are charged against rental income as incurred.

Deferred Costs

At  December  31,  1999 and 1998,  loan costs of  approximately  $846,000,  less
accumulated  amortization of approximately $349,000 and $261,000,  respectively,
are included in other assets.  Loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the life of the loans.

Leasing  commissions  were deferred and amortized  over the lives of the related
leases. At December 31, 1998, a total of approximately $189,000 less accumulated
amortization of $96,000,  respectively, was included in other assets. There were
no leasing  commissions at December 31, 1999 due to the sale of both  commercial
properties during 1999.

Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss

The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for net  income  and net  losses for both
financial and tax reporting purposes to be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partner.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No.  107,  "Disclosures  about Fair  Value of  Financial  Instruments",  as
amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments",  requires  disclosure  of  fair  value
information  about  financial  instruments,  whether  or not  recognized  in the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is
defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in
a  current  transaction  between  willing  parties,  other  than in a forced  or
liquidation  sale.  The  Partnership  believes  that the carrying  amount of its
financial  instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value
due to the short  term  maturity  of these  instruments.  The fair  value of the
Partnership's  long term debt, after  discounting the scheduled loan payments to
maturity, approximates its carrying balance.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial  statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

SFAS  No.  131,   "Disclosure  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information"  established standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating  segments in annual financial  statements and
requires that those  enterprises  report  selected  information  about operating
segments in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures  about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers
(see "Note L").

Advertising

The  Partnership  expenses the costs of  advertising  as  incurred.  Advertising
expense for the  residential  properties,  included in operating  expenses,  was
$238,000, $238,000, and $237,000 during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 1998 and 1997  information  to
conform to the 1999 presentation.

Note B - Transfer of Control

Pursuant  to a series  of  transactions  which  closed  on  October  1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999,  Insignia and Insignia  Properties Trust merged into AIMCO, a
publicly  traded real estate  investment  trust,  with AIMCO being the surviving
corporation (the "Insignia Merger").  As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership
interest in the General Partner.  The General Partner does not believe that this
transaction has had or will have a material effect on the affairs and operations
of the Partnership.

Note C - Related Party Transactions

The  Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and/or
its  affiliates  for  the  management  and  administration  of  all  Partnership
activities. The limited partnership agreement ("Partnership Agreement") provides
for  payments  to  affiliates  for  property  management  services  based  on  a
percentage of revenue. The Partnership Agreement also provides for reimbursement
to the General  Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with
the administration of Partnership activities.

The following amounts were paid or accrued to the General Partner and affiliates
during each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997:

                                                   1999        1998        1997
                                                         (in thousands)

Property management fees (included in
   operating expenses)                             $646        $748       $ 737
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
   (included in investment properties,
   general and administrative expenses,
   and operating expenses)                          342         384         374
Real estate brokerage commissions
   (included in gain on sale of investment
   property)                                        334         465          --

During the years ended  December  31,  1999,  1998 and 1997,  affiliates  of the
General  Partner were  entitled to receive 5% of gross  receipts from all of the
Partnership's  residential  properties as  compensation  for providing  property
management  services.  The  Partnership  paid to such  affiliates  approximately
$646,000, $678,000 and $648,000 for management fees for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and the year ended  December 31, 1997,  affiliates  of the General  Partner
were entitled to receive  varying  percentages of gross receipts from all of the
Partnership's  commercial properties for providing property management services.
The Partnership  paid to such affiliates  approximately  $70,000 and $89,000 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 and the year ended  December 31, 1997,
respectively.  Effective  October 1, 1998 (the  effective  date of the  Insignia
Merger (See "Note B - Transfer of Control")  these  services for the  commercial
properties were provided by an unrelated party.

An  affiliate  of the General  Partner  received  reimbursement  of  accountable
administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $342,000,  $384,000  and
$374,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

For  acting as real  estate  broker in  connection  with the sale of South  City
Business  Center,  the  General  Partner was paid a real  estate  commission  of
approximately  $209,000  during the year ended  December 31, 1999. For acting as
real estate broker in connection with the sale of Corporate Center,  the General
Partner earned a real estate commission of approximately  $125,000. (See "Note F
- - Sale of Discontinued  Operations" for additional information about the sales.)
For acting as real estate broker in connection  with the sale of City Heights in
November  1998,  the  General  Partner  earned  a  real  estate   commission  of
approximately $465,000. The commission was accrued at December 31, 1998, and was
paid during the first quarter of 1999. No similar commissions were earned during
the year ended December 31, 1997.

Additionally,  the Partnership paid approximately $41,000 and $36,000 during the
years ended  December  31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  to an affiliate of the
General  Partner  for  lease   commissions  at  the   Partnership's   commercial
properties.  These  lease  commissions  are  included  in other  assets  and are
amortized over the terms of the respective  leases.  Effective  October 1, 1998,
lease  commissions  were paid to an  unrelated  party (see "Note B - Transfer of
Control").

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. As a
result of these tender offers, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 176,647.70
limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership  representing  46.118%  of the
outstanding  units. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or
more additional offers to acquire  additional limited  partnership  interests in
the Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership
of AIMCO.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to significantly  influence all
voting  decisions  with  respect  to  the  Registrant.   Under  the  Partnership
Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority  of the Units are  entitled  to take
action with respect to a variety of matters. When voting on matters, AIMCO would
in all  likelihood  vote the  Units it  acquired  in a manner  favorable  to the
interest of the General  Partner because of their  affiliation  with the General
Partner.

Note D - Casualty Events

In October 1996, a fire damaged twelve units at the Lamplighter Park Apartments.
The unit where the fire started suffered  extensive damage, and as a result, the
asset and related accumulated depreciation were written off in 1996. At December
31,  1996,  an  insurance  proceeds  receivable  was  recorded,  as  well  as  a
miscellaneous  payable  representing the estimated cost of restoring the damaged
units.  The net gain recognized in 1996 relating to this fire was  approximately
$114,000. In 1997, the restoration was completed,  and additional  unanticipated
charges were  incurred.  The net effect of these  charges was a casualty loss of
approximately  $24,000 being  recognized in 1997 relating to the 1996 fire.  The
1997 loss is included in  operating  expense on the  Partnership's  statement of
operations.

In 1997, a fire at Hidden Cove by the Lake  Apartments  damaged ten units in one
building at the complex.  The units affected suffered  primarily smoke and water
damages,  and the  restoration  was  completed in the second  quarter of 1997. A
casualty  gain of  approximately  $16,000 was  recognized in 1997 as a result of
this fire and is included as an offset to operating expense.

In June 1998, another fire occurred at Hidden Cove by the Lake Apartments, which
caused  major  damage to three units in one  building of the  complex,  and as a
result, the building and its related accumulated  depreciation were written off.
The  restoration  was completed in 1999. No loss was  recognized  related to the
fire as the  casualty is covered by insurance  and the proceeds  equaled the net
book value of the destroyed units.

During the fourth  quarter  of 1998,  there was a hail storm at Tamarac  Village
which caused roof damage to the buildings.  The damage was repaired during 1999.
No loss was recognized related to the hail storm damage as the expenditures have
been offset by insurance proceeds.

An ice storm  occurred at Hidden Cove by the Lake  Apartments  in January  1999,
which  damaged 52 units.  The  damage  was  repaired  during  1999.  No loss was
recognized  related to the ice storm damage as the expenditures have been offset
by insurance proceeds.

Note E - Sale of Investment Property

In November 1998, City Heights Apartments,  located in Seattle,  Washington, was
sold to an  unaffiliated  party  for  $9,300,000.  After  payoff of the debt and
payment of closing expenses,  the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership
were approximately $5,787,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The proceeds
were  distributed  to the  partners in January  1999.  For  financial  statement
purposes,  the sale resulted in a gain of approximately  $5,482,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The Partnership also recorded an extraordinary  loss on
early  extinguishment  of debt of  approximately  $325,000  for the  year  ended
December  31,  1998 as the  result of payment of  prepayment  penalties  and the
write-off  of the  remaining  unamortized  loan  costs.  During  the year  ended
December  31,  1999,  a loss of  approximately  $192,000 was recorded due to the
write-off of an uncollectible receivable related to this property.

Note F - Sale of Discontinued Operations

In June 1999,  South City Business Center,  located in Chula Vista,  California,
was sold to an  unaffiliated  party for  $6,962,000.  After  payment  of closing
expenses,  the net sales proceeds received by the Partnership were approximately
$6,569,000.  For financial  statement  purposes,  the sale resulted in a gain of
approximately $2,296,000.

In October 1999,  Corporate Center,  located in Tampa,  Florida,  was sold to an
unaffiliated  party for $4,175,000.  After payment of closing expenses,  the net
sales proceeds received by the Partnership were  approximately  $3,884,000.  For
financial  statement  purposes,  the sale  resulted  in a gain of  approximately
$1,914,000.

The following pro-forma  information  reflects the operations of the Partnership
for the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  as if  Corporate  Center,  South City
Business  Center,  and City Heights,  which was sold in November  1998, had been
sold January 1, 1998.

South  City  Business  Center  and  Corporate  Center  were the last  commercial
properties in the commercial segment of the Partnership.  Due to the sale of the
properties,  the income of both of the properties has been classified as "Income
from  discontinued  operations" for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997. Revenues of these properties were approximately $845,000,  $1,725,000, and
$1,645,000 for 1999,  1998, and 1997,  respectively.  Income from  operations of
these properties were approximately  $84,000,  $502,000,  and $402,000 for 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively.

Note H - Commitment

The  Partnership is required by the  Partnership  Agreement to maintain  working
capital reserves for  contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital,
as defined in the Partnership Agreement. In the event expenditures are made from
this reserve, operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserve to the extent
necessary  to  maintain  the  foregoing  level.  Reserves,  including  cash  and
securities available for sale, totaling  approximately $5.5 million were greater
than the reserve requirement of approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 1999.

Note I - Distributions

Note K - Income Taxes

The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal  Revenue Service that it
will  be  classified  as  a  partnership   for  Federal   income  tax  purposes.
Accordingly,  no provision for income taxes is made in the financial  statements
of the Partnership. Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the
income tax returns of its partners.





The  following is a  reconciliation  of reported net income and Federal  taxable
income (in thousands, except unit data):



                                                    1999          1998        1997

The tax basis of the  Partnership's  assets  and  liabilities  is  approximately
$18,433,000 greater than the assets and liabilities as reported in the financial
statements.

Note L - Segment Reporting

Description  of the types of products  and services  from which each  reportable
segment  derives its revenues:  The  Partnership  had two  reportable  segments:
residential properties and commercial properties.  The Partnership's residential
property  segment  consists of seven apartment  complexes in Colorado,  Florida,
Michigan,  North  Carolina,  Utah, and  Washington  (2). The  Partnership  rents
apartment  units to tenants for terms that are typically  twelve months or less.
The commercial  property segment consisted of two business parks, one located in
Florida and one in  California.  These  properties  leased space to a variety of
businesses  at terms  ranging  from month to month to ten  years.  On October 4,
1999,  the final  commercial  property  held by the  Partnership  was sold to an
unrelated party. Therefore,  the commercial segment is reflected as discontinued
operations  (see  "Note  F  -  Sale  of  Discontinued  Operations"  for  further
discussion regarding the commercial sales).

Measurement  of segment profit or loss: The  Partnership  evaluates  performance
based on segment profit (loss) before  depreciation.  The accounting policies of
the  reportable  segments  are the same as those  described  in the  summary  of
significant accounting policies.

Factors management used to identify the enterprise's  reportable  segments:  The
Partnership's reportable segments are investment properties that offer different
products and  services.  The  reportable  segments  are each managed  separately
because they provide  distinct  services  with  different  types of products and
customers.





Segment  information  for the years  1999,  1998 and 1997 is shown in the tables
below. The "Other" column includes partnership  administration related items and
income and expense not allocated to the reportable segments (in thousands).

Note M - Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial  Group,  Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs  named as defendants,  among others,
the   Partnership,   the  General  Partner  and  several  of  their   affiliated
partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging  the  acquisition  by Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc.
("Insignia")  and  entities  which  were,  at one time,  affiliates  of Insignia
("Insignia  Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities,  past
tender offers by Insignia  Affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units, the
management of partnerships  by Insignia  Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see
"Note B - Transfer  of  Control").  The  plaintiffs  seek  monetary  damages and
equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25,
1998,  the General  Partner filed a motion seeking  dismissal of the action.  In
lieu  of  responding  to the  motion,  the  plaintiffs  have  filed  an  amended
complaint.  The General Partner filed  demurrers to the amended  complaint which
were heard  February  1999.  Pending  the ruling on such  demurrers,  settlement
negotiations  commenced.  On November 2, 1999, the parties  executed and filed a
Stipulation of Settlement,  settling claims, subject to final court approval, on
behalf of the Partnership and all limited  partners who own units as of November
3, 1999. Preliminary approval of the settlement was obtained on November 3, 1999
from the  Superior  Court of the State of  California,  County of San Mateo,  at
which time the Court set a final approval  hearing for December 10, 1999.  Prior
to the December 10, 1999 hearing the Court  received  various  objections to the
settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon
the  alleged  lack of  authority  of class  plaintiffs'  counsel  to  enter  the
settlement.  On  December  14,  1999,  the General  Partner  and its  affiliates
terminated the proposed  settlement.  Certain  plaintiffs have filed a motion to
disqualify  some of the plaintiffs'  counsel in the action.  The General Partner
does not anticipate that costs associated with this case will be material to the
Partnership's overall operations.

The  Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding  litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Note N - Change in Accounting Principle

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior  painting and major landscaping on a prospective
basis.  The  Partnership  believes  that  this  accounting  principle  change is
preferable  because it provides a better  matching of expenses  with the related
benefit of the expenditures and it is consistent with industry  practice and the
policies  of the  General  Partner.  The  effect  of the  change  in 1999 was to
increase income by approximately  $226,000 ($0.58 per limited partnership unit).
The cumulative  effect,  had this change been applied to prior  periods,  is not
material.  The accounting principle change will not have an effect on cash flow,
funds  available  for  distribution  or fees payable to the General  Partner and
affiliates.

Item 9.     Changes in and  Disagreements  with  Accountants on Accounting and
            Financial Disclosure

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The  Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and/or
its  affiliates  for  the  management  and  administration  of  all  Partnership
activities. The limited partnership agreement ("Partnership Agreement") provides
for  payments  to  affiliates  for  property  management  services  based  on  a
percentage of revenue. The Partnership Agreement also provides for reimbursement
to the General  Partner and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with
the administration of Partnership activities.





The following amounts were paid or accrued to the General Partner and affiliates
during each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997:

During the years ended  December 31, 1999,  1998,  and 1997,  affiliates  of the
General  Partner were  entitled to receive 5% of gross  receipts from all of the
Partnership's  residential  properties as  compensation  for providing  property
management  services.  The  Partnership  paid to such  affiliates  approximately
$646,000, $678,000 and $648,000 for management fees for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and the year ended  December 31, 1997,  affiliates  of the General  Partner
were entitled to receive  varying  percentages of gross receipts from all of the
Partnership's  commercial properties for providing property management services.
The Partnership  paid to such affiliates  approximately  $70,000 and $89,000 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 and the year ended  December 31, 1997,
respectively.  Effective  October 1, 1998 (the  effective  date of the  Insignia
Merger,  see "Item 8. Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data,  Note B -
Transfer of Control") these services for the commercial properties were provided
by an unrelated party.

An  affiliate  of the General  Partner  received  reimbursement  of  accountable
administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $342,000,  $384,000  and
$374,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

For  acting as real  estate  broker in  connection  with the sale of South  City
Business  Center,  the  General  Partner was paid a real  estate  commission  of
approximately  $209,000  during the year ended  December 31, 1999. For acting as
real estate broker in connection with the sale of Corporate Center,  the General
Partner earned a real estate commission of approximately $125,000. For acting as
real estate broker in connection with the sale of City Heights in November 1998,
the General Partner earned a real estate commission of $465,000.  The commission
was accrued at December 31, 1998 and was paid during the first  quarter of 1999.
No similar commissions were earned during the year ended December 31, 1997.

Additionally,  the Partnership paid approximately $41,000 and $36,000 during the
years ended  December  31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  to an affiliate of the
General  Partner  for  lease   commissions  at  the   Partnership's   commercial
properties.  These  lease  commissions  are  included  in other  assets  and are
amortized over the terms of the  respective  leases.  Effective  October 1, 1998
lease  commissions  were paid to an  unrelated  party  (see  "Item 8.  Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data, Note B - Transfer of Control").

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. As a
result of these tender offers, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 176,647.70
limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership  representing  46.118%  of the
outstanding  units. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or
more additional offers to acquire  additional limited  partnership  interests in
the Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership
of AIMCO.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to significantly  influence all
voting  decisions  with  respect  to  the  Registrant.   Under  the  Partnership
Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority  of the Units are  entitled  to take
action with respect to a variety of matters. When voting on matters, AIMCO would
in all  likelihood  vote the  Units it  acquired  in a manner  favorable  to the
interest of the General  Partner because of their  affiliation  with the General
Partner.

Dear Mr. Foye:

Note  N  of  Notes  to  the  Financial   Statements  of   Consolidated   Capital
Institutional  Properties/3  included  in its Form  10-KSB  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1999  describes a change in the method of  accounting to capitalize
exterior  painting and major  landscaping,  which would have been expensed under
the old policy.  You have  advised us that you  believe  that the change is to a
preferable method in your circumstances because it provides a better matching of
expenses with the related  benefit of the  expenditures  and is consistent  with
policies  currently  being used by your industry and conforms to the policies of
the General Partner.

There are no authoritative criteria for determining a preferable method based on
the particular circumstances; however, we conclude that the change in the method

alternative  method which,  based on your business  judgment to make this change
for the reasons cited above, is preferable in your circumstances.

            condition  precedent),  the Deposit  shall be forfeited by Purchaser
            and the sum  thereof  shall go to  Seller  forthwith  as  liquidated

            agrees that it shall conduct its  investigations  and inspections in
            such a manner  so as not to  disrupt  the  existing  tenants  or the
            operation of the Property.

5.2.  (a)  Should  the  results of any Phase I  environmental  study  undertaken
      pursuant to Section 5.1.1 above warrant or indicate,  in Purchaser's  sole
      discretion,  the  undertaking of a Phase II  environmental  investigation,
      then the  Feasibility  Period  shall be  extended  by  thirty  (30)  days,
      provided  Purchaser has given Seller Notice of such election  prior to the
      expiration of the Feasibility Period.

      (b)  Should the  results of any of the  matters  referred  to in  Sections
      5.1.1,  5.1.2 and 5.1.3 above appear  unsatisfactory to Purchaser,  in its
      sole  discretion,  for any reason,  then Purchaser shall have the right to
      terminate  this Purchase  Contract by giving written Notice to that effect
      to  Seller  and  Escrow  Agent on or before  5:00 p.m.  EST on the date of
      expiration of the Feasibility Period. If Purchaser exercises such right to
      terminate,  this Purchase  Contract  shall  terminate and be of no further

      cancellation  prior  to the  end  of  the  Feasibility  Period  in  strict
      accordance  with the Notice  provisions  of this Purchase  Contract,  this
      Purchase  Contract  shall remain in full force and effect and  Purchaser's
      obligation  to  purchase  the  Property   shall  be   non-contingent   and
      unconditional  except only for  satisfaction  of the conditions  expressly

      harmless from any and all claims,  damages,  costs and liability which may
      arise due to such entries,  surveys,  tests,  investigations and the like.
      Seller shall have the right to reasonably  disapprove any and all entries,
      surveys,  tests,  investigations  and the like  that in  their  reasonable
      judgment  could  result  in any  injury to the  Property  or breach of any
      agreement,  or expose Seller to any liability,  costs, liens or violations
      of applicable law, or otherwise  adversely affect the Property or Seller's
      interest  therein.  No consent by the Seller to any such activity shall be
      deemed to constitute a waiver by Seller or assumption of liability or risk
      by Seller.  To the extent that Purchaser alters the physical  condition of
      the Property in  connection  with the  exercise of its rights  pursuant to
      this  Article 5,  Purchaser  hereby  agrees to restore the Property to the
      same condition existing  immediately prior to Purchaser's  exercise of its
      rights  pursuant to this ARTICLE 5 at  Purchaser's  sole cost and expense.
      Purchaser (or Purchaser's  Consultants)  shall maintain casualty insurance
      and comprehensive  public liability  insurance with broad form contractual
      and personal injury  liability  endorsements  with respect to the Property
      and Purchaser's activities carried on therein, in commercially  reasonable
      amounts  (including  deductible  amounts)  with  duly  licensed  insurance
      carriers and naming Seller as an  Additional  Insured.  The  provisions of
      this Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Purchase
      Contract.

5.4.  Purchaser  shall not permit any mechanic's or  materialman's  liens or any
      other liens to attach to the Property by reason of the  performance of any
      work or the  purchase of any  materials by Purchaser or any other party in
      connection  with any  studies  or  tests  conducted  by or for  Purchaser.
      Purchaser  shall give  Notice to Seller a  reasonable  time prior to entry
      onto the Property and shall permit Seller to have a representative present
      during all  investigations  and inspections  conducted with respect to the
      Property.  Purchaser  shall  take all  reasonable  actions  and  implement
      commercially  reasonable  protections  to ensure that all actions taken in
      connection with the  investigations  and inspections of the Property,  and
      all equipment,  materials and substances  generated,  used or brought onto
      the  Property  pose no  material  threat to the  safety of  persons or the
      environment  and cause no  damage to the  Property  or other  property  of
      Seller or other  persons.  All  information  made  available  by Seller to
      Purchaser  in  accordance  with this  Purchase  Contract  or  obtained  by
      Purchaser  in the  course  of  its  investigations  shall  be  treated  as
      confidential  information by Purchaser,  and, prior to the purchase of the
      Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its
      agents and employees  from  divulging  such  information  to any unrelated
      third parties except as reasonably  necessary to third parties  engaged by
      Purchaser  for the limited  purpose of analyzing  and  investigating  such
      information for the purpose of consummating  the transaction  contemplated
      by this Purchase Contract,  including Purchaser's  consultants,  attorneys
      and representatives, prospective lenders and engineers.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                                      TITLE

6.1.  Seller shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the
      Effective  Date,  secure and forward to Purchaser a  commitment  for title
      insurance  for the  Property  in an  amount  equal to the  Purchase  Price
      ("Title  Commitment")  issued by Broad and Cassel, as an agent for Chicago
      Title Insurance  Company ("Title  Insurer") for an owner's title insurance
      policy on the most recent standard  American Land Title  Association  ALTA
      Policy form (the "Title  Policy"),  together  with  legible  copies of all
      instruments  identified as exceptions therein. The Title Policy shall have
      all standard and general  printed  exception  deleted so as to afford full
      "extended  form  coverage,"  and  shall  further  include,  to the  extent
      available in Florida, a tax parcel endorsement,  a "Fairway"  endorsement,
      an access  endorsement,  a survey  endorsement,  a plat act or subdivision
      endorsement,  and any other Property specific endorsements,  if any, which
      may   be   reasonably   requested   by   Purchaser   (collectively,    the
      "Endorsements").  Seller  agrees that it shall be solely  responsible  for
      payment of all costs relating to  procurement of the Title  Commitment and
      the  Title  Policy,  including,   without  limitation,  the  cost  of  the
      Endorsements.

6.2.  The  conveyance  of the Land  and  Improvements  by  special  warranty  or
      equivalent deed pursuant to this Purchase Contract shall be subject to the
      following,  all of  which  shall  be  deemed  "Permitted  Exceptions"  and
      Purchaser agrees to accept the deed and title subject thereto:

      6.2.1.All   claims,   liens,   encumbrances,    restrictions,   covenants,
            easements,  exceptions,  conditions  or other  matters  shown on the
            Title Commitment or the Survey  (collectively,  "Title  Exceptions")
            and not objected to by Purchaser in writing  during the  Feasibility
            Period; and

      6.2.2.      All Commercial  Leases and any other  occupancy,  residency,
            lease,  tenancy  and  similar  agreements  entered  into by Seller
            after the  Effective  Date and approved by  Purchaser  pursuant to
            the terms of this Purchase Contract; and

      6.2.3.      All Property  Contracts and any other contracts entered into
            by Seller  after the  Effective  Date and  approved  by  Purchaser
            pursuant to the terms of this Purchase Contract; and

      6.2.4.      Real  estate  and  property  taxes to the extent not due and
            payable; and

6.3.  Except as provided  in Section  6.6 below,  the  existence  of  mortgages,
      liens,  or  encumbrances  shall not be objections to title,  provided that
      properly executed  instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy and
      remove the same of record are delivered to the Purchaser at Closing or, in
      the alternative, with respect to any mortgage or deed of trust liens, that
      payoff  letters  from the holder of the  mortgage  or deed of trust  liens
      shall have been delivered to and accepted by the Title Insurer (sufficient
      to remove the same from the policy issued at Closing),  together in either
      case, with recording and/or filing fees.

6.4.  Unpaid liens for taxes,  charges,  and assessments shall not be objections
      to title, but the amount thereof plus interest and penalties thereon shall
      be deducted from the Purchase Price to be paid for the applicable Property
      hereunder  and  allowed  to  Purchaser,  subject  to  the  provisions  for
      apportionment of taxes and charges contained herein.

6.5.  Unpaid franchise or business  corporation taxes of any corporations in the
      chain of title shall not be an objection to title, provided that the Title
      Insurer  agrees  to  insure  against  collection  out of the  Property  or
      otherwise against  Purchaser or its affiliates,  and provided further that
      the Title Insurer agrees to omit such taxes as exceptions to coverage with
      respect to any lender's mortgagee insurance policy.

6.6.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this  ARTICLE 6 to the  contrary,
      Seller shall be  unconditionally  obligated  to take all steps;  spend all
      necessary  funds;  institute and prosecute any action or proceedings;  and
      otherwise  take any and all  steps  and  measures  to cure or  remove  the
      following Title Exceptions (the "Mandatory Cure Items"), whether described
      in the  Title  Commitment  or on the  Survey,  or first  arising  or first
      disclosed to Purchaser  after the date of the Title  Commitment or Survey,
      as the case may be: (a) liens securing a mortgage,  deed of trust or trust
      deed; (b) any Title  Exception  arising as a result of, due to, or because
      of, any  willful or  intentional  act or omission of any or all of Seller,
      its  members,  partners  or  shareholders  and  the  officers,  directors,
      employees,  agents  or duly  authorized  managing  agent  of any or all of
      Seller,  its  members,  partners  or  shareholders  (collectively  "Seller
      Parties"),  which act or  omission  occurs  after the  earlier  of (i) the
      effective  date of the  applicable  item of Title  Commitment and (ii) the
      Effective  Date;  (c) judgment  liens against any or all of Seller and the
      Seller Parties; tax liens; and broker's liens; and (d) any mechanics liens
      that are based upon a written agreement between either (x) the claimant (a
      "Contract  Claimant") and any or all of Seller and the Seller Parties,  or
      (y)  the  Contract  Claimant  and  any  other   contractor,   supplier  or
      materialman  with which any or all of Seller and the Seller  Parties has a
      written  agreement.  Prior to Closing,  such Mandatory Cure Items shall be
      cured or  removed  (by  endorsement  or  otherwise  in form and  substance
      reasonably  acceptable to Purchaser) from the Title  Commitment by Seller.
      Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary set forth  herein,  if, prior to
      Closing,  Seller fails to so cure or remove (or insure over, in a form and
      substance  reasonably  acceptable to Purchaser)  all Mandatory Cure Items,
      then Purchaser may either (1) terminate this Purchase  Contract by written
      Notice  to  Seller,  in which  event  the  deposit  shall be  returned  to
      Purchaser;  or (2) proceed to close with title to the  Property as it then
      is,  with the right to deduct from the  Purchase  Price a sum equal to the
      aggregate amount necessary to cure or remove (by endorsement or otherwise,
      as reasonably determined by Purchaser, acting in good faith) the Mandatory
      Cure Items; provided,  however, that if such items are cured or removed by
      endorsements,  the  form  and  substance  of  such  endorsements  must  be
      reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

6.7.  If on the Closing Date there shall be conditional bills of sale or Uniform
      Commercial  Code financing  statements  that were filed on a day more than
      Five (5) years prior to such Closing,  and such financing  statements have
      not been extended by the filing of UCC-3  continuation  statements  within
      the past Five (5) years prior to such Closing,  such financing  statements
      shall not be deemed to be an objection to title.

6.8.  If any Title Exception  first arises,  or is first disclosed to Purchaser,
      after  the  expiration  of  the  Feasibility  Period,  and  renders  title
      unacceptable  to Purchaser,  or if on the Closing Date, the state of title
      is other  than in  accordance  with  the  requirements  set  forth in this
      Purchase  Contract or if any condition to be fulfilled by Seller shall not
      be satisfied,  Purchaser  shall provide Seller with written Notice thereof
      at such time, or such title  objection or unfulfilled  condition  shall be
      deemed  waived by  Purchaser  in which case  Purchaser  and  Seller  shall
      proceed to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date. If Purchaser timely
      gives Seller such  Notice,  Seller at its sole option and within seven (7)
      calendar  days  following  receipt  of such  Notice may elect to cure such
      objection or  unfulfilled  condition  for up to sixty (60)  calendar  days
      provided  that Seller  continues to  diligently  pursue such cure.  Should
      Seller be able to cure such title objection or condition, or should Seller
      be able to cause title  insurance over the same by the Closing Date or any
      postponed  Closing  Date,  or should  Purchaser  waive such  objection  or
      condition  within such period for cure,  then the Closing shall take place
      on or before  fifteen  (15)  calendar  days  after  Notice of such cure or
      waiver.

6.9.  If Seller is unable or unwilling,  in its sole  discretion or opinion,  to
      eliminate,  cause the Title Insurer to insure over,  or otherwise  satisfy
      (to Purchaser's  reasonable  satisfaction) any Title Exception objected to
      by Purchaser in writing during the Feasibility  Period,  Seller shall give
      Purchaser written Notice thereof ("Seller's Title Response Notice") within
      seven (7) calendar days  following  Purchaser's  delivery of its Notice of
      Objection to Seller. If Purchaser does not waive such objection by written
      Notice  delivered  to  Seller  and the  Title  Insurer  issuing  the Title
      Commitment on or before Seven (7) calendar days  following the date Seller
      gives  such  Notice,  then  this  Purchase  Contract  shall  automatically
      terminate,  and the parties  hereto shall have no further  obligations  to
      each  other;  provided,  however,  if  Seller  fails to  timely  deliver a
      Seller's Title Response Notice,  or if Seller's Title Response Notice does
      not include all of the Title  Exceptions  objected to by Purchaser  during
      the feasibility period, Seller shall be unconditionally  obligated to take
      all steps;  spend all necessary funds;  institute and prosecute any action
      or  proceedings;  and otherwise take any and all steps or measures to cure
      or  remove  any  Title  Exception  objected  to by  Purchaser  during  the
      feasibility period and not included in Seller's Title Response Notice.

6.10. Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily  create or cause any lien or
      encumbrance  (other  than  Commercial  Leases and  Property  Contracts  as
      permitted  in ARTICLE  15) to attach to the  Property  between the date of
      this  Purchase  Contract and the Closing  Date;  any such monetary lien or
      encumbrance  so attaching by voluntary  act or omission of Seller shall be
      discharged by the Seller at or prior to Closing on the Closing Date or any
      postponed Closing Date. Except as expressly  provided above,  Seller shall
      not  be  required  to   undertake   efforts  to  remove  any  other  lien,
      encumbrance,  security interest, exception,  objection or other matter, to
      make any  expenditure  of  money  or  institute  litigation  or any  other
      judicial  or  administrative  proceeding  and  Seller  may  elect  not  to
      discharge the same.

6.11. Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate this Purchase  Contract or
      object to any  lien,  encumbrance,  exception  or other  matter  that is a
      Permitted  Exception or that has been waived or deemed to have been waived
      by Purchaser.

6.12. Purchaser,  at Seller's sole cost and expense,  promptly shall cause to be
      prepared a survey for the Property ("Survey") to be delivered to Purchaser
      and Seller within the Feasibility Period. The Survey (i) shall be prepared
      in accordance  with and shall comply with the minimum  requirements of the
      ALTA;  (ii)  shall  be in a form,  and  shall  be  certified  as of a date
      satisfactory  to Title Insurer to enable Title Insurer to delete  standard
      survey exceptions from the title insurance policy to be issued pursuant to
      the Title Commitments,  except for any Permitted  Exceptions;  (iii) shall
      specifically  show all  improvements,  recorded  easements  to the  extent
      locatable,  set back lines,  and such other matters shown as exceptions by
      the Title  Commitments;  (iv) shall specifically show the right of way for
      all adjacent public streets; (v) shall specifically disclose whether (and,
      if so,  what  part of) any of the  Property  is in an area  designated  as
      requiring  flood  insurance  under  applicable   federal  laws  regulating
      lenders;  (vi) shall contain a perimeter legal description of the Property
      which may be used in the special  warranty deed;  (vii) shall be certified
      to  Purchaser,  Purchaser's  lender (if any),  Seller and Title Insurer as
      being  true  and  correct;   and  (viii)  shall  certify  that  the  legal
      description  set forth therein  describes the same,  and comprises all of,
      the real estate  comprising  the  Property to be  purchased  by  Purchaser
      pursuant to the terms of this Purchase Contract and (ix) shall contain the
      certification  attached  hereto as Exhibit  D. In the event the  perimeter
      legal  description  of the Property  contained in the Survey  differs from
      that  contained  in the deed or deeds by which  Seller  took  title to the
      Property,  the latter  description  shall be used in the special  warranty
      deed delivered to Purchaser at Closing, and the Survey legal shall be used
      in a  quitclaim  deed to the  Property  which also shall be  delivered  to
      Purchaser at Closing.

      6.12.1. Should such Survey  disclose  conditions that give rise to a Title
            Exception other than a Permitted Exception, Purchaser shall have the
            right to object thereto within the Feasibility  Period in accordance
            with the  procedures  set forth in  ARTICLE 5 and  ARTICLE 6 of this
            Purchase Contract.

      6.12.2. Seller  agrees to make  payment in full of all costs of  obtaining
            Surveys  required by this Purchase  Contract on or before Closing or
            termination of this Purchase Contract.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                                     CLOSING

7.1.  Dates, Places Of Closing, Prorations, and Delinquent Rent.

      7.1.1.The  Closing  shall take place in the  offices of Broad and  Cassel,
            201 S. Biscayne Boulevard,  Suite 3000, Miami, Florida 33131 or such
            other  place as the  parties  shall  mutually  agree  upon at a time
            mutually  agreed upon on the Closing  Date.  If requested by; either
            Purchaser or Seller,  the parties  shall conduct  closing  through a
            pre-closing,  an escrow or other arrangement reasonably requested by
            Seller or  Purchaser,  whereby  neither the Seller nor the Purchaser
            need  not be  physically  present  at the  Closing  and may  deliver
            documents by overnight air courier or other means.

      7.1.2 All normal and  customarily  proratable  items,  including,  without
            limitation,  Rents (as defined below), operating expenses,  personal
            property taxes, other operating expenses and fees, shall be prorated
            as of the Closing Date, Seller being charged and credited for all of
            same attributable to the period up to the Closing Date (and credited
            for any  amounts  paid by Seller  attributable  to the  period on or
            after the Closing Date) and  Purchaser  being  responsible  for, and
            credited  or  charged,   as  the  case  may  be,  for  all  of  same
            attributable to the period on and after the Closing Date;  provided,
            however,  that Rents  applicable  to the month in which the  Closing
            occurs shall only be prorated to the extent that Seller has actually
            collected  such Rents prior to the Closing Date.  The full amount of
            all  security  deposits  required  to be held  under the  Commercial
            Leases,  if any,  shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser at the
            Closing. Purchaser shall assume at Closing the obligation to pay any
            accrued  but  unpaid  tenant  improvement   allowances  and  leasing
            commissions,  together  with  any  payments  due  parties  to  other
            agreements  affecting the Property which survive  Closing,  provided
            the same are identified on Exhibit K to this Contract.  Seller shall
            remain  obligated to pay any and all tenant  improvement  allowances
            and leasing  commissions  which are not identified on Exhibit K. Any
            real estate ad valorem or similar taxes for the Property  payable in
            the year of Closing,  or any  installment of assessments  payable in
            installments  which  installment  is payable in the year of Closing,
            shall be  prorated  to the date of  Closing,  based upon actual days
            involved.  The proration of real property taxes or  installments  of
            assessments shall be based upon the assessed  valuation and tax rate
            figures for the year in which the  Closing  occurs to the extent the
            same are available;  provided, that in the event that actual figures
            (whether for the assessed value of the Property or for the tax rate)
            for the year of Closing are not available at the Closing  Date,  the
            proration  shall be made using figures from the preceding  year. The
            proration shall be final and unadjustable  except as provided in the
            following paragraph. For purposes of this Section 7.1.2. and Section
            7.1.3.  and 7.1.4.  the terms  "Rent"  and  "Rents"  shall  include,
            without limitation,  base rents,  additional rents, percentage rents
            and common area maintenance  charges. The provisions of this Section
            7.1.2. shall apply during the Proration Period (as defined below).

      7.1.3.If any  of the  items  subject  to  proration  hereunder  cannot  be
            prorated at the Closing because the information necessary to compute
            such  proration  is  unavailable,  or if any errors or  omissions in
            computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the
            Closing,  then such item shall be reapportioned  and such errors and
            omissions  corrected as soon as  practicable  after the Closing Date
            and the proper party reimbursed,  which obligation shall survive the
            Closing for a period (the "Proration  Period") from the Closing Date
            until one (1) year after the  Closing  Date.  Neither  party  hereto
            shall  have the  right  to  require  a  recomputation  of a  Closing
            proration  or a  correction  of an error or  omission  in a  Closing
            proration  unless  within the  Proration  Period one of the  parties
            hereto (i) has obtained the  previously  unavailable  information or
            has  discovered  the error or  omission,  and (ii) has given  Notice
            thereof to the other  party  together  with a copy of its good faith
            recomputation  of the  proration  and  copies of all  substantiating
            information  used in such  recomputation.  The failure of a party to
            obtain any previously  unavailable  information or discover an error
            or omission  with respect to an item subject to proration  hereunder
            and to give Notice  thereof as provided  above within the  Proration
            Period   shall  be   deemed  a  waiver  of  its  right  to  cause  a
            recomputation  or a correction  of an error or omission with respect
            to such item after the Closing  Date.  Any Rents that have  accrued,
            but have not yet been paid  shall be  prorated  in  accordance  with
            estimates  based upon the prior years'  information  (or  reasonable
            estimates  of  Seller  if  no  such  prior  years'   information  is
            available),  and shall be subsequently  readjusted and reapportioned
            upon  receipt.  Purchaser  shall  pay  Seller  for  Rents  that have
            accrued, but are not yet due and payable, at Closing.

      7.1.4.If on the Closing  Date any Tenant is in arrears in any Rent payment
            under any Tenant lease (the "Delinquent  Rent"), any Delinquent Rent
            received by Purchaser  and Seller from such Tenant after the Closing
            shall be applied to amounts due and  payable by such  Tenant  during
            the following periods in the following order of priority: (i) first,
            to the period of time after the Closing  Date,  and (ii) second,  to
            the period of time before the Closing Date.  If  Delinquent  Rent or
            any  portion  thereof  received  by  Seller or  Purchaser  after the
            Closing  are due and  payable  to the other  party by reason of this
            allocation,  the appropriate sum, less a proportionate  share of any
            reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  costs  and  expenses  expended  in
            connection  with the collection  thereof,  shall be promptly paid to
            the other party.  After the Closing,  Seller shall  continue to have
            the  right,  but not the  obligation,  in its own  name,  to  demand
            payment  of and to  collect  Delinquent  Rent  owed to Seller by any
            Tenant, which right shall include, without limitation,  the right to
            continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any Tenant
            (provided,  that  Seller  shall not  commence  any legal  actions or
            proceedings  against any Tenant  which  continues as a Tenant at the
            Property after Closing without the prior consent of Purchaser, which
            will not be unreasonably  withheld or delayed),  and the delivery of
            the Assignment as defined in Section  7.2.1.5 shall not constitute a
            waiver by  Seller  of such  right.  Purchaser  agrees to  reasonably
            cooperate  with Seller,  at no cost or liability  to  Purchaser,  in
            connection  with all  efforts by Seller to collect  such  Delinquent
            Rent and to take  reasonable  steps,  whether  before  or after  the
            Closing  Date, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of the
            foregoing,  including,  without limitation,  the delivery to Seller,
            upon demand, of any relevant books and records  (including,  without
            limitation,  rent  statements,  receipted bills and copies of tenant
            checks used in payment of such rent); provided, however, that (i) in
            no event may Seller  bring any  action to evict any Tenant  from the
            Property and (ii)  Purchaser's  obligation to  reasonably  cooperate
            with Seller  pursuant to this sentence shall not obligate  Purchaser
            to commence  any legal  actions or  proceedings  against any Tenant,
            terminate  any  Tenant  lease with an  existing  Tenant or evict any
            existing  Tenant from the Property.  The  provisions of this Section
            7.1.4. shall apply during the Proration Period.

      7.1.5.State of Florida  Sales Tax.  Prior to or at Closing,  Seller  shall
            pay or have  paid any and all  sales  tax  imposed  by the  State of
            Florida ("Sales Tax") due and owing on lease receipts for the period
            prior to the month in which  Closing  occurs.  The Sales Tax payable
            for the month in which  Closing  occurs shall be prorated  such that
            Purchaser  receives a credit for such Sales Tax from  Seller for the
            pro rata portion of such month prior to Closing, whereupon Purchaser
            shall be  obligated  to pay the Sales Tax for the month of  Closing.
            Sales Tax for the month in which Closing occurs shall be prorated on
            the basis of the most currently  available schedule of rent receipts
            for the Property. Alternatively, Seller may deliver an affidavit (in
            form  reasonably   acceptable  to  Purchaser)  for  the  benefit  of
            Purchaser as to the absence of any unpaid Sales Tax, which affidavit
            shall contain an indemnity  from Seller for the benefit of Purchaser
            against any and all liability for unpaid Sales Tax. At Closing,  the
            total amount of any unpaid Sales Tax shall be deducted  from the net
            proceeds of sale  payable to Seller and either (i) paid  directly to
            the applicable  taxing authority or (ii) withheld for the benefit of
            Purchaser.  The  provisions  of this  Section  7.1.5  shall  survive
            Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation

            person or entity with respect to the Property,  Purchaser and Seller
            agree  that  Seller  has  done  so or  shall  do  so  only  for  the
            convenience  of both parties,  Purchaser  shall not rely thereon and
            the reliance by Purchaser upon any such documents,  opinions or work
            product shall not create or give rise to any liability of or against
            Seller, any Subsidiary Owner, Seller's partners or affiliates or any
            of their respective  partners,  officers,  directors,  participants,
            employees,  contractors,  attorneys,  consultants,  representatives,
            agents, successors,  assigns or predecessors-in-interest.  Purchaser
            shall rely only upon any title insurance  obtained by Purchaser with
            respect to title to the Property.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
            that (except as set forth in Section 8.1.1 above) no  representation
            has been  made and no  responsibility  is  assumed  by  Seller  with
            respect to current and future  applicable  zoning or  building  code
            requirements  or the compliance of the Property with any other laws,
            rules, ordinances or regulations,  the financial earning capacity or
            expense  history of the  Property,  the  continuation  of contracts,
            continued occupancy levels of the Property,  or any part thereof, or
            the  continued  occupancy  by tenants of any  Commercial  Leases or,
            without limiting any of the foregoing,  occupancy at Closing.  Prior
            to Closing, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to
            enforce its rights against any and all Property occupants, guests or
            tenants.

      8.1.3.Seller and Purchaser agree that those  representations  contained in
            Section 8.1 shall survive Closing for a period of One (1) year (that
            is, any proceeding based on the breach of a representation contained
            in Section 8.1 that  survives  Closing must be commenced  within One
            (1)  year  subsequent  to the date of such  representation).  In the
            event that Seller breaches any  representation  contained in Section
            8.1 and Purchaser had knowledge of such breach,  Purchaser  shall be
            deemed to have  waived any right of  recovery  and Seller  shall not
            have any liability in connection therewith.

      8.1.4.Representations  and  warranties  above  made  to the  knowledge  of
            Seller  shall  not be  deemed  to  imply  any duty of  inquiry.  For
            purposes of this Purchase  Contract,  the term Seller's  "knowledge"
            shall  mean and refer to only  actual  knowledge  of the  Designated
            Representative (as hereinafter  defined) of the Seller and shall not
            be  construed  to  refer  to the  knowledge  of any  other  partner,
            officer,  director, agent, employee or representative of the Seller,
            or any  affiliate of the Seller,  or to impose upon such  Designated
            Representative  any duty to  investigate  the  matter to which  such
            actual knowledge or the absence thereof pertains,  or to impose upon
            such Designated Representative any individual personal liability. As
            used herein,  the term  "Designated  Representative"  shall refer to
            Patty Malia. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that
            (a) the Designated  Representative  currently is, a Senior  Property
            Manager  employed  by  Insignia  Commercial  Group,  Inc.,  which is
            Seller's third party property management company,  which company has
            managed  the  Property  for the  preceding  approximately  four year
            period and (b) the Designated  Representative is the person with the
            most knowledge of Seller's  day-to-day  operation and maintenance of
            the Property and Seller has no other employees,  officers, agents or
            third party  property  managers who might be reasonably  expected to
            have knowledge regarding the day-to-day  operation or maintenance of
            the Property that the Designated Representative does not share.

8.2.  Representations And Warranties Of Purchaser

      8.2.1.For the  purpose  of  inducing  Seller to enter  into this  Purchase
            Contract and to consummate  the sale and purchase of the Property in
            accordance herewith, Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller the
            following as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

      8.2.2.      With  respect  to  Purchaser  and  its  business,  Purchaser
            represents and warrants, in particular, that:

            8.2.2.1. FR  Acquisitions,  Inc. is a Corporation  duly organized,
                     validly  existing and in good standing  under the laws of
                     the State of Maryland.

            8.2.2.2. Purchaser,   acting  through  any  of  its  or  their  duly
                     empowered  and  authorized  officers  or  members,  has all
                     necessary power and authority to own and use its properties
                     and to transact  the  business in which it is engaged,  and
                     has full power and  authority  to enter into this  Purchase
                     Contract,   to  execute  and  deliver  the   documents  and
                     instruments  required of Purchaser  herein,  and to perform
                     its  obligations  hereunder;  and  no  consent  of  any  of
                     Purchaser's  officers or members are required to so empower
                     or authorize Purchaser.

            8.2.2.3. No pending or, to the  knowledge of  Purchaser,  threatened
                     litigation  exists  which  if  determined  adversely  would
                     restrain the consummation of the transactions  contemplated
                     by this Purchase Contract or would declare illegal, invalid
                     or non-binding any of Purchaser's  obligations or covenants
                     to Seller.

            8.2.2.4. Purchaser is duly authorized to execute and deliver, acting
                     through its duly  empowered  and  authorized  officers  and
                     members,  respectively,  and perform this Purchase Contract
                     and  all  documents  and   instruments   and   transactions
                     contemplated   hereby  or  incidental   hereto,   and  such
                     execution,  delivery and  performance by Purchaser does not
                     (i)  violate  any of the  provisions  of  their  respective
                     certificates of incorporation  or bylaws,  (ii) violate any
                     provision  of any  law,  governmental  rule  or  regulation
                     currently in effect,  (iii) violate any  judgment,  decree,
                     writ, injunction,  award,  determination or order currently
                     in  effect  that  names  or  is  specifically  directed  at
                     Purchaser  or its  property,  and (iv) require the consent,
                     approval,  order or authorization of, or any filing with or
                     Notice to, any court or other governmental authority.

            8.2.2.5. The joinder of no person or entity other than  Purchaser is
                     necessary to consummate the transactions to be performed by
                     Purchaser  and  Purchaser  has  all  necessary   right  and
                     authority   to  perform  such  acts  as  are  required  and
                     contemplated by this Purchase Contract.

      8.2.3.Purchaser  has not  dealt  with  any  broker,  finder  or any  other
            person, in connection with the purchase of or the negotiation of the
            purchase  of the  Property  that  might  give  rise to any claim for
            commission against Seller or lien or claim against the Property.

                                   ARTICLE 9.

                         CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

9.1.  Purchaser's  obligation  to close under this Purchase  Contract,  shall be
      subject to and  conditioned  upon the  fulfillment  of each and all of the
      following conditions precedent:

      9.1.1.      All of the  documents  required to be delivered by Seller to
            Purchaser  at each  Closing  pursuant to the terms and  conditions
            hereof  shall  have  been  delivered  and  shall  be in  form  and
            substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser;

      9.1.2.      Each  of  the   representations  and  warranties  of  Seller
            contained herein shall be true in all material  respects as of the
            Closing Date;

      9.1.3.      Seller shall have complied with,  fulfilled and performed in
            all material respects each of the covenants,  terms and conditions
            to be complied with, fulfilled or performed by Seller hereunder;

      9.1.4.The physical  condition of the Property shall be  substantially  the
            same on the Closing Date as on the Effective  Date,  reasonable wear
            and tear excepted,  unless the alteration of said physical condition
            is  the  result  of  Damage  and  Eminent   Domain  (as  such  terms
            hereinafter are defined).

      9.1.5.At Closing, there shall be no administrative  agency,  litigation or
            governmental   proceeding  of  any  kind   whatsoever,   pending  or
            threatened,  that,  after Closing,  would, in Purchaser's  sole (but
            reasonable) discretion, materially and adversely affect the value or
            marketability  of the  Property,  or the  ability  of  Purchaser  to
            operate  the  Property  in the  manner it is being  operated  on the
            Effective Date.

      9.1.6.If applicable,  Seller shall have complied with all  requirements of
            any  law  relating  to the  sale  or  transfer  of the  assets  of a
            business, including without limitation, the requirements of the law,
            relating to bulk sales.

      In the event of the  failure of any  condition  precedent  to  Purchaser's
      obligation to close set forth in this Purchase Contract (other than as the
      result of, due to or because of any willful or intentional act or omission
      of Purchaser),  Purchaser may elect to terminate  this Purchase  Contract,
      whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser.

9.2.  Without  limiting  any of the rights of Seller  elsewhere  provided for in
      this  Purchase  Contract,  Seller's  obligation  to close with  respect to
      conveyance of a particular  Property under this Purchase Contract shall be
      subject to and  conditioned  upon the  fulfillment  of each and all of the
      following conditions precedent:

      9.2.1.Purchaser's   representations  and  warranties  set  forth  in  this
            Purchase  Contract  shall have been true and correct in all material
            respects  when made,  and shall be true and correct in all  material
            respects on the Closing Date and as of the Effective  Date as though
            such representations and warranties were made at and as of such date
            and time.

      9.2.2.Purchaser   shall  have  fully   performed  and  complied  with  all

            Closing  including,  without  limitation,  payment  in  full  of the
            Purchase Price.

      9.2.3.There shall not be pending or, to the knowledge of either  Purchaser
            or  Seller,  any  litigation  or  threatened  litigation  which,  if
            determined adversely,  would restrain the consummation of any of the
            transactions  contemplated  by this  Purchase  Contract  or  declare
            illegal,  invalid or nonbinding  any of the covenants or obligations
            of the Purchaser.

                                   ARTICLE 10.

                                    BROKERAGE

10.1. Seller  represents  and warrants to Purchaser  that it has dealt only with
      Lang   Baumgarten,   Aztec  Group,   Inc.,   2665  South  Bayshore  Drive,
      Penthouse-IIA,  Coconut Grove, Florida 33133 ("Broker") in connection with
      this Purchase Contract.  Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants
      to the other that other than Aztec Group,  Inc.,  it has not dealt with or
      utilized  the  services of any other real estate  broker,  sales person or
      finder in connection with this Purchase Contract, and each party agrees to
      indemnify  the other  party from and  against  all  claims  for  brokerage
      commissions  and finder's fees arising from or attributable to the acts of
      omissions of the indemnifying party; provided,  however, in no event shall
      Purchaser  indemnify  Seller  for any claims  asserted  by or on behalf of
      Broker.

10.2. Seller  agrees  to pay  Broker a  commission  according  to the terms of a
      separate  agreement.  Broker  shall not be  deemed a party or third  party
      beneficiary of this Purchase Contract.

10.3. Broker  assumes no  responsibility  for the condition of the Property or
      representation  for the  performance  of this  Purchase  Contract by the
      Seller or Purchaser.

                                   ARTICLE 11.

                                   POSSESSION

11.1. Possession of the Property  subject to the Permitted  Exceptions  shall be
      delivered to Purchaser at the  Closing,  subject to  Purchaser's  right of
      entry for inspection as set forth in ARTICLE 5.

                                   ARTICLE 12.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

12.1. In the event  Purchaser  defaults  hereunder prior to the Closing Date and
      consummation  of the Closing  does not occur by reason of such  default by
      Purchaser,  Seller and Purchaser  agree that it would be  impractical  and
      extremely  difficult  to  estimate  the damages  which  Seller may suffer.
      Therefore,  Seller  and  Purchaser  hereby  agree  that,  except  for  the
      Purchaser's  obligations  to Seller  under  Section  5.3,  the  reasonable
      estimate of the total net detriment  that Seller would suffer in the event
      that Purchaser  terminates  this Purchase  Contract or defaults  hereunder
      prior to the  Closing  Date is and  shall  be,  as  Seller's  sole  remedy
      (whether at law or in equity),  the right to receive from the Escrow Agent
      and retain the full amount of the Deposit.  The payment and performance of
      the above as liquidated damages is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty
      within the meaning of applicable  law and is intended to settle all issues
      and  questions  about the  amount  of  damages  suffered  by Seller in the
      applicable  event,  except  only for  damages  under  Section  5.3  above,
      irrespective  of the time when the  inquiry  about such  damages  may take
      place.  Upon  any such  failure  by  Purchaser  hereunder,  this  Purchase
      Contract  shall be  terminated,  and neither  party shall have any further
      rights  or  obligations  hereunder,  each  to the  other,  except  for the
      Purchaser's  obligations to Seller under Section 5.3 above,  and the right
      of Seller to collect such liquidated damages to the extent not theretofore
      paid by Purchaser.

12.2. If Seller fails to perform any of the covenants and  agreements  contained
      herein  to be  performed  by Seller  within  the time for  performance  as
      specified herein (including  Seller's obligation to close), and (x) in the
      event the  Closing has not  occurred,  Purchaser  may elect  either to (i)
      terminate Purchaser's  obligations under this Purchase Contract by written
      Notice to Seller with a copy to Escrow  Agent,  in which event the Deposit
      shall be returned  immediately  to  Purchaser,  or (ii) file an action for
      specific  performance;  or (y) in the event that the Closing has occurred,
      Purchaser may file an action against Seller for any and all losses, costs,
      damages  and  expenses  (including  but not  limited  to,  court costs and
      attorneys'  reasonable fees) actually suffered or incurred by Purchaser as
      a result of such  breach or  failure  by Seller.  If the  Closing  has not
      occurred  and  Purchaser  elects  (ii)  above,  then  Seller  agrees  that
      Purchaser  shall not be  required  to post a bond or any other  collateral
      with the court or any other party as a condition to Purchaser's pursuit of
      an action.  Seller hereby  covenants and agrees that in the event that the
      Closing has not occurred as a result of, due to, or because of any willful
      or  intentional  act or omission of Seller,  Purchaser may (in addition to
      any and all other  remedies  of  Purchaser  hereunder)  file an action for
      damages in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) damages actually  suffered
      by Purchaser by reason of Seller's defaults hereunder (including,  but not
      limited to,  attorneys'  fees,  engineering  fees,  fees of  environmental
      consultants, appraisers' fees, and accountants' fees incurred by Purchaser
      in connection with this Purchase Contract and any action hereunder) or (b)
      fifty  thousand  dollars  ($50,000).  The  provisions  of the  immediately
      preceding   sentence  shall  survive  any  termination  of  this  Purchase
      Contract. Nothing in this Section 12.2 shall be deemed to in any way limit
      or prevent Purchaser from exercising any right of termination  provided to
      Purchaser  elsewhere  in  this  Purchase  Contract.   Notwithstanding  the
      foregoing,  in the  event  Seller  defaults  in  any  of its  post-closing
      obligations under Section 7.1.3,  Section 7.1.4,  Section 7.1.5 or Section
      10.1 hereof, Purchaser shall have all of its remedies at law and in equity
      on account of such default.

                                   ARTICLE 13.

                            RISK OF LOSS OF CASUALTY

13.1. In the event that at the time of Closing all or  substantially  all of the
      Property is (or has been) damaged by fire or other casualty, Purchaser may
      elect, in its sole  discretion to (i) terminate this Purchase  Contract by
      written  Notice to Seller in which event the Deposit  shall be returned to
      Purchaser,  or (ii)  proceed to close  subject to (1) a  reduction  in the
      Purchaser Price equal to the deductible under Seller's casualty  insurance
      policy  for  the  Property  and  (2) on  assignment  to  Purchaser  of any
      insurance  proceeds in respect of fire or other casualty occurring between
      the date of  ratification  of this contract and the time of settlement and
      Seller shall  reasonably  cooperate  with  Purchaser in the adjustment and
      settlement  of any  such  claims.  Seller  shall  not,  in any  event,  be
      obligated to effect any repair, replacement,  and/or restoration,  but may
      do so at its option in which case Seller may apply the insurance  proceeds
      to the costs of restoration.

                                   ARTICLE 14.

                   ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND SUBORDINATION
                   NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENTS

14.1. No later than five (5)  business  days prior to the Closing  Date,  Seller
      shall  obtain and deliver to  Purchaser  estoppel  certificates,  dated no
      earlier  than 30 days prior to  Closing  ("Estoppel  Certificates"),  from
      Tenants  occupying  at  least  80% of the  leased  square  footage  of the
      Property (the "Required  Tenants"),  which  Required  Tenants shall in all
      events include Upman Enterprises and Savannah  Laboratories.  Seller shall
      use  reasonable,  diligent  and good  faith  efforts  to obtain  each such
      Estoppel Certificate  substantially in the form attached to this Agreement
      as Exhibit F and  certified  to  Purchaser  and any and all other  parties
      required by Purchaser during the Feasibility Period (the "Purchaser's Form
      Certificate");  provided, however, that in the event that Seller is unable
      to obtain the Purchaser's Form  Certificate from any Tenant,  Seller shall
      use  reasonable  and good faith  efforts to obtain,  from that Tenant,  an
      Estoppel  Certificate  in the form  required by that  Tenant's  respective
      Commercial Lease;  provided further,  however, that Purchaser shall not be
      required to accept an Estoppel  Certificate that is not (A) in the form of
      Exhibit F or the specific form required by, and attached as an exhibit to,
      that particular  Tenant's  respective  Commercial  Lease or/and (B) is not
      certified to Purchaser and any and all other parties required by Purchaser
      during the  Feasibility  Period.  If Seller  fails  (despite  its diligent
      efforts) to obtain (and timely deliver) an Estoppel Certificate,  from the
      number of Required  Tenants as determined  above,  Purchaser's sole remedy
      shall be either to (i) terminate this Purchase  Contract;  or (ii) proceed
      to close and waive the  requirement of such an Estoppel  Certificate  with
      respect to the Required  Tenant's Lease and tenancy for which Seller fails
      to procure an Estoppel  Certificate.  Additionally,  Seller  covenants and
      agrees to use good  faith,  diligent  efforts  to obtain a  Subordination,
      Non-Disturbance   and  Attornment   Agreement   (each,  a   "Subordination
      Agreement")  from each Tenant dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior
      to the Closing  Date,  in such form as  Purchaser's  lender,  if any,  may
      reasonably require; provided, however, that in the event that Seller fails
      to obtain the form of  Subordination  Agreement  requested by  Purchaser's

                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

15.1. In the event that at the time of Closing  all or any part of the  Property
      is (or has  previously  been)  acquired,  or is about to be  acquired,  by
      authority  of any  governmental  agency in purchase in lieu thereof (or in
      the event that at such time there is any Notice of any such acquisition by
      any  such  governmental  agency),  Purchaser  shall  have  the  right,  at
      Purchaser's  option, to terminate this Purchase Contract by giving written
      Notice  within  Fifteen  (15)  days of the  occurrence  of such  event and
      recover the Deposit  hereunder,  or to settle in accordance with the terms
      of this Purchase Contract for the full Purchase Price and receive the full
      benefit or any  condemnation  award.  It is expressly  agreed  between the
      parties  hereto  that this  paragraph  shall in no way apply to  customary
      dedications for public purposes which may be necessary for the development
      of the Property.

                                   ARTICLE 16.

                               COVENANTS OF SELLER

16.1. Effective  as  of  the  Contract  Date,  Seller  hereby  covenants  with
      Purchaser as follows:

      16.1.1. Seller shall neither amend any Commercial  Lease,  in any material
            respect,  nor execute  any new lease,  license,  or other  agreement
            affecting the ownership or operation of the Property or for personal
            property,  equipment, or vehicles, without Purchaser's prior written
            approval  (which  approval  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld and
            shall be deemed  given if  Purchaser's  written  disapproval  is not
            delivered to Seller within five (5) business days following Seller's
            written  request for such  approval).  Provided  that (i)  Purchaser
            approves or is deemed to have approved any new lease or amendment to
            any Commercial Lease in accordance with this Section 16.1.1 and (ii)
            Purchaser  approves  any leasing  commissions  payable  with respect
            thereto  in  writing  (which  approval  shall  not  be  unreasonably
            withheld   and  shall  be  deemed  given  if   Purchaser's   written
            disapproval of such leasing commissions is not delivered within five
            business days following Seller's written request for such approval),
            then Purchaser shall assume  responsibility  for the payment of such
            leasing commissions.

      16.1.2. Seller  shall not amend any  existing  Property  Contract or enter
            into any new contract with respect to the ownership and operation of
            the Property that will survive the Closing,  or that would otherwise
            affect  the  use,  operation  or  enjoyment  of the  Property  after
            Closing,  without Purchaser's prior written approval (which approval
            shall not be  unreasonably  withheld  and  shall be deemed  given if
            Purchaser's  written  disapproval  is not delivered to Seller within
            five  (5)  business  days  following   Seller's   request  for  such
            approval).  If Purchaser  approves or is deemed to have approved any
            new contract or the amendment of any Property Contract in accordance
            with this Section 16.1.2,  Purchaser shall assume all obligations of
            such contract(s) relating to the period after the Closing.

      16.1.3. Seller shall operate and manage the Property in the same manner in
            which it is being  operated as of the  Effective  Date,  maintaining
            present services, and shall maintain the Property in its same repair
            and working  order;  and shall  perform,  when due,  all of Seller's
            obligations under the Commercial Leases, Property Contracts, Permits
            and other  agreements  relating to the  Property  and  otherwise  in
            accordance with applicable laws,  ordinances,  rules and regulations
            affecting the Property.  Except as otherwise  specifically  provided
            herein,   at  Closing,   Seller   shall   deliver  the  Property  in
            substantially  the same  condition as exists on the Effective  Date,
            reasonable  wear and tear and  damage by  casualty  or  condemnation
            excepted.

      16.1.4. Seller shall,  to the extent  Seller  obtains  knowledge  thereof,
            promptly  notify  Purchaser of any material  change in any condition
            with respect to the Property,  or of the  occurrence of any event or
            circumstance, that makes any representation or warranty of Seller to
            Purchaser under this Purchase Contract untrue or misleading,  or any
            covenant of Purchaser under this Purchase Contract incapable or less
            likely  of  being  performed,  it  being  understood  that  Seller's
            obligation to provide Notice to Purchaser  under this Section 15.1.4
            shall  in no  way  abrogate  Purchaser's  right  to  terminate  this
            Purchase Contract.  Subject to the limitation provided in Exhibit G,
            upon  Purchaser's  request,  for a  period  of two (2)  years  after
            Closing,  Seller shall make the Records  available to Purchaser  for
            inspection, copying and audit by Purchaser's designated accountants,
            and at  Purchaser's  expense.  Seller shall provide  Purchaser,  but
            without third-party expense to Seller, with copies of, or access to,
            such  factual   information  as  may  be  reasonably   requested  by
            Purchaser,  and in the  possession  or control of Seller,  to enable
            First  Industrial  (as  hereinafter  defined)  to file  Form 8-K (as
            specified  on Exhibit G hereto),  if, as and when such filing may be
            required by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Without
            limitation of the foregoing, but subject to the limitations provided
            on Exhibit G, (x) Purchaser or its  designated  independent or other
            accountants  may audit the  operating  statements,  and Seller shall
            supply such  documentation in its possession or control as Purchaser
            or its accountants may reasonably  request in order to complete such
            audit,  and Seller shall execute the form of audit letter  contained
            in  Exhibit  H and (y)  Seller  shall  furnish  Purchaser  with such
            financial and other  information  as may be  reasonably  required by
            Purchaser or its assigns to make any  required  filings with the SEC
            or other governmental authority.

                                   ARTICLE 17.

      statutory,  or implied,  and all such  representations  and warranties are
      hereby expressly  excluded.  Purchaser shall not in any way be entitled to
      rely upon the  accuracy  of such  information.  Such  information  is also
      confidential   and  Purchaser   shall  be  prohibited   from  making  such
      information public to any other person or entity other than its agents and
      legal representatives, without Seller's prior written authorization, which
      may be granted or denied in Seller's sole discretion.

      It is expressly  agreed by the parties  hereto that time is of the essence
      with respect to this Purchase Contract.

      Except as  otherwise  provided  herein,  no  remedy  herein  conferred  or
      reserved is  intended to be  exclusive  of any other  available  remedy or
      remedies,  but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be
      in addition to every other  remedy given under this  Purchase  Contract or
      now or  hereafter  existing  at law or in equity.  No delay or omission to
      exercise  any  right or power  accruing  upon any  default,  omission,  or
      failure of performance  hereunder shall impair any right or power or shall
      be construed to be a waiver  thereof,  but any such right and power may be
      exercised  from time to time and as often as may be deemed  expedient.  No
      waiver,  amendment,  release,  or modification  of this Purchase  Contract
      shall be established by conduct, custom, or course of dealing.

      In the event either party hereto commences litigation against the other to
      enforce its rights  hereunder,  the  prevailing  party in such  litigation

      attorneys' fees and expenses incidental to such litigation.

17.17.      Time Periods

      Should the last day of a time period  fall on a weekend or legal  holiday,
      the next Business Day  thereafter  shall be considered the end of the time
      period.

17.18.      Exchange

      At Seller's  sole cost and expense,  Seller may  structure the sale of the
      Property to Purchaser as a Like Kind Exchange under Internal  Revenue Code
      Section 1031 whereby Seller will acquire certain  property (the "Like Kind
      Exchange  Property")  in  conjunction  with the sale of the Property  (the
      "Like Kind  Exchange").  Purchaser shall cooperate fully and promptly with
      Seller's  conduct of the Like Kind  Exchange,  provided that all costs and
      expenses  generated in  connection  with the Like Kind  Exchange  shall be
      borne solely by Seller,  and Purchaser shall not be required to take title
      to or contract  for the purchase of any other  property.  If Seller uses a
      qualified  intermediary to effectuate the exchange,  any assignment of the
      rights or obligations of Seller  hereunder  shall not relieve,  release or
      absolve  Seller of its  obligations  to  Purchaser.  In no event shall the
      Closing Date be delayed by the Like Kind Exchange.  Seller shall indemnify
      and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all liability arising
      from and out of the Like Kind Exchange.
