ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND SUBJECT COMPANY.

                  The name of the subject company is Connecticut  General Equity
Properties-I  Limited  Partnership,   a  Connecticut  limited  partnership  (the
"Partnership").  The address of the Partnership's principal executive offices is
900 Cottage Grove Road, South Building, Bloomfield, Connecticut 06002. The title
of the class of equity  securities to which this  statement  relates is units of
limited partnership interest in the Partnership (the "Units").

ITEM 2.           TENDER OFFER OF THE BIDDER.

                  This  Statement  relates to a tender  offer by Everest  Realty
Investors,  LLC, a  California  limited  liability  company (the  "Bidder"),  to
purchase  up to 15,695 of the Units at a purchase  price of $275 per Unit,  less
the amount of any Distributions (as defined in the Offer to Purchase referred to
below) per Unit, if any, made by the Partnership  after any  Distributions  made
after the distribution  from operations for the third quarter of 1996 and before
the date on which the Bidder purchases the Units tendered  pursuant to the Offer
(as defined below) and less any  Partnership  transfer fees,  upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 18,
1996 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Agreement of Transfer and Letter
of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal",  which,  together with the Offer to
Purchase,  constitute  the  "Offer").  The  address  of the  Bidder's  principal
executive office, according to the Offer to Purchase, is 3280 E. Foothill Blvd.,
#320, Pasadena, California 91107.

ITEM 3.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                  (a)      Name and Business Address.  The person filing this
Statement is the Partnership, the name and business address of which are set 
forth in Item 1 above.

                  (b)  Arrangements  with  Executive   Officers,   Directors  or
Affiliates.  Certain  contracts,  agreements,  arrangements  and  understandings
between the  Partnership  and its  affiliates or their  respective  officers and
directors are described in the Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended  December  31,  1995,  in Item 10  ("Directors  and  Executive
Officers of the Registrant"), Item 12 ("Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners  and  Management"),  and  Item 13  ("Certain  Relationships  and  Related
Transactions").  A copy of such sections of the Partnership's Form 10-K is filed
as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

                  (c)  Arrangements  with the Bidder or  Affiliates.  On May 28,
1996,  Everest  Investors  3, LLC  ("Everest  3"),  an  affiliate  of the Bidder
according to the Offer to Purchase, commenced an offer to purchase up to 4.9% of
the outstanding  Units of the Partnership for a purchase price of $160 per Unit,
less any distributions made by the Partnership after April 30, 1996. Pursuant to
such  offer,  Everest  3  received  tenders  for an  aggregate  of  784.8  Units
(representing  approximately  2% of the outstanding  Units of the  Partnership).
Everest 3 submitted  Agreements  of Transfer  to the  Partnership  to effect the
acquisition of such 784.8 Units.  The Partnership  initially  refused to process
the submitted transfers on the grounds
that  Everest  3 had not  complied  with  the  requirements  of the  Partnership
Agreement  dated as of November 14, 1983,  pursuant to which the Partnership was
formed (as amended or supplemented,  the "Partnership  Agreement"),  relating to
the transfer.  Everest 3 disputed this position and on November 7, 1996, entered
into  an  agreement  with  the  General  Partner  of  the  Partnership  and  the
Partnership's  transfer  agent pursuant to which (i) the  Partnership  agreed to
accept Everest 3's Agreement of Transfer,  (ii) Everest 3 would be recognized as
a substitute  limited  partner for 143.5 Units  effective as of October 1, 1996,
and for an additional  641.3 Units  effective as of November 1, 1996,  and (iii)
Everest  3 would  indemnify  the  Partnership,  the  General  Partner  and their
affiliates,  pay the  Partnership's  transfer  fee and jointly  request with the
General Partner that certain  tendering  limited  partners execute and deliver a
properly executed  Partnership  transfer form. Except as set forth above, to the
Partnership's knowledge, neither the Partnership nor its affiliates are party to
any past, present or proposed material contracts, arrangements,  understandings,
relationships,  or  negotiations  with the  Bidder  or its  executive  officers,
directors or affiliates.

ITEM 4.           THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION.

                  (a)  This  Statement   relates  to  a  recommendation  by  the
Partnership  for  holders  of  Units  to  reject  the  Offer.  A  letter  to the
Unitholders of the Partnership communicating the Partnership's recommendation is
filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

                  (b) The  Partnership  has  recommended  rejection of the Offer
primarily for two reasons:  (1) the Partnership believes that the Offer price of
$275 per  Unit,  less  certain  amounts,  is  inadequate;  and (2) the  Offer to
purchase  is limited to 15,695  Units,  representing  only  approximately  forty
percent  (40%)  of  outstanding  Units.  In  reaching  its  determination,   the
Partnership considered a number of factors, including:

                           (i) Based on the  information set forth more fully in
                  the  Partnership's  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  for the
                  quarter ended  September 30, 1996 (a copy of which is attached
                  hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference), and
                  on the General Partner's estimate of property values as of the
                  date hereof,  the  Partnership  is estimated to have a current
                  net  asset  value  of  approximately  $425  per  Unit  (before
                  deducting  expenses  relating to the sale of the Partnership's
                  properties and liquidating the  Partnership).  The Offer price
                  of $275 (before deducting certain  transactional  costs, which
                  will reduce the net value of the Offer to Unitholders) is only
                  sixty-five  percent  (65%)  of  the  net  asset  value,  which
                  represents a  significant  discount  from the net asset value.
                  Based on these  estimates,  the Partnership  believes that the
                  Offer price is inadequate.  The net asset value is an estimate
                  of the amount Unitholders of the Partnership would receive per
                  Unit if the Partnership's  assets were sold at their appraised
                  values without  reduction for selling expenses as of the close
                  of the year,  and sales proceeds along with the other funds of
                  the  Partnership  were  distributed  in a  liquidation  of the
                  Partnership.  There can be no assurance that the estimated net
                  asset value will be realized by
                  the  Partnership  or  Unitholders  upon  liquidation,  or that
                  Unitholders  would  realize the  estimated  net asset value if
                  they attempted to sell their Units because a public market for
                  the  Units  does not  exist.  However,  as has  been  reported
                  previously   in  the   Partnership's   periodic   reports   to
                  Unitholders,  following a decline in the late 1980's and early
                  1990's,  real  estate  markets  are  experiencing  a period of
                  recovery as  evidenced  by an  increase  in the  Partnership's
                  estimated  net asset value in each of the past three (3) years
                  (see  Exhibit 4  attached  hereto and  incorporated  herein by
                  reference).   It  is  the  General  Partner's  view  that  the
                  Partnership's  net asset  value will  continue  to increase as
                  rental rates  increase  and  occupancy  levels  stabilize in a
                  continuing real estate market recovery.

                           (ii)  The  Partnership  has  been  considering,   and
                  continues  to  consider,   various  alternatives  designed  to
                  maximize value to Unitholders.  In this connection,  while the
                  Partnership  has not yet  determined  whether a disposition of
                  all or any substantial  part of its assets at this time is the
                  appropriate   way  to  proceed,   the   Partnership  has  been
                  approached by and, through the General  Partner,  is currently
                  engaged in  discussions  with a  potential  purchaser  for the
                  possible  sale of all of the  assets  and  liabilities  of the
                  Partnership.   See  Item  7(a),   "Certain   Negotiations  and
                  Transactions of the Subject  Company"  elsewhere  herein.  The
                  Partnership  will  continue  to  explore  these   alternatives
                  because it believes that a return to  Unitholders in excess of
                  the Offer  price of $275 per Unit is  obtainable.  Of  course,
                  there  can  be  no  assurance  at  this  time  that  any  such
                  transaction  will be  consummated,  as discussions are ongoing
                  and  approval  of the holders of a majority of the Units would
                  be  required.   Accordingly,   while  actively  exploring  the
                  prospect  of a  near-term  sale  of  all  of  the  assets  and
                  liabilities of the  Partnership for an amount that would yield
                  a return in excess of the Offer price as outlined  above,  the
                  Partnership   intends   to   continue   its  plan  of  orderly
                  liquidation and wrap-up of the Partnership's  business over an
                  estimated  period  of three to four  years  by  continuing  to
                  maintain stable occupancy rates (see Exhibit 5 attached hereto
                  and  incorporated  herein by reference),  controlling  leasing
                  exposure (see Exhibit 6 attached hereto and incorporate herein
                  by reference),  maintaining steady cash flow and distributions
                  (see  Exhibit 7  attached  hereto and  incorporated  herein by
                  reference) and positioning the Partnership's  properties for a
                  sale  that  will  yield  the  maximum   attainable   value  to
                  Unitholders.

                           (iii) The  Offer is to  purchase  only  15,695 of the
                  outstanding  Units,   representing  only  approximately  forty
                  percent  (40%)  of  all  outstanding  Units.  Accordingly,   a
                  majority of Unitholders will not have an opportunity to tender
                  all of their Units  pursuant to the Offer.  Under the terms of
                  the Offer,  if more than 15,695 of the  outstanding  Units are
                  tendered while the Offer remains open, the Bidder will acquire
                  only a portion of each tendering  Unitholder's Units, on a pro
                  rata basis. Hence, no Unitholder,  regardless of the timing or
                  the terms of his or her tender, can be assured of disposing of
                  all of his or her Units under the terms of the Offer,  even if
                  the Offer were consummated.
ITEM 5.           PERSONS RETAINED, EMPLOYED OR TO BE COMPENSATED.

                  No person or class of persons has been employed or retained or
is to be  compensated  by the  Partnership or any person acting on its behalf to
make  solicitations  or  recommendations  to Unitholders in connection  with the
Offer.  No director,  executive  officer or employee of the  Partnership  or any
affiliate  of the  Partnership  will  be  additionally  compensated  for  making
solicitations  or  recommendations  to Unitholders in connection with the Offer,
but  may  be  reimbursed  for  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  in  connection
therewith.

ITEM 6.           RECENT TRANSACTIONS AND INTENT WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES.

                  (a) The  Partnership  has not effected any  transaction in the
Units during the 60-day period prior to the date of this Statement.  To the best
of the Partnership's  knowledge, no executive officer,  director or affiliate of
the  Partnership  has  effected any  transaction  in the Units during the 60-day
period prior to the date of this Statement. The Partnership has no subsidiaries.

                  (b) To the best of the  Partnership's  knowledge,  neither the
Partnership nor any executive officer,  director or affiliate of the Partnership
intends to tender any Units  which are held of record or  beneficially  owned by
such persons to the Bidder pursuant to the Offer.

ITEM 7.           CERTAIN NEGOTIATIONS AND TRANSACTIONS BY THE SUBJECT COMPANY.

                  (a) The Partnership  has been  approached by and,  through the
General Partner of the Partnership,  is currently  engaged in negotiations  with
Koll General Partner Services ("Koll") in connection with a proposed purchase of
all of the assets and liabilities of the Partnership. Koll has made an offer, on
behalf of Glenborough Realty Trust  Incorporated,  to purchase all of the assets
and  liabilities of the Partnership as reflected in the  Partnership's  June 30,
1996  balance  sheet for a purchase  price of  $13,000,000,  an amount  equal to
approximately  ninety  percent  (90%) of the net asset value as of December  31,
1995, adjusted for the sale of the Partnership's  Westside Industrial  Property.
This offer is subject to the  requisite  approval of the  Unitholders  under the
Partnership Agreement and receipt of a fee of $260,000 at the closing. There can
be  no  assurance  at  this  time  that  a  sale  to  Glenborough  Realty  Trust
Incorporated,  or any  other  alternative,  will be  consummated;  however,  the
Partnership intends to continue these negotiations with Koll and to consider any
other alternative that may become available for enhancing value to Unitholders.

                  (b)  None.

ITEM 8.           ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED.

                         [LETTERHEAD OF THE PARTNERSHIP]




                                                              December 2, 1996





                  Re: Everest Realty Investors, LLC Tender Offer

Dear Unitholders:

                  You may have  recently  received  an Offer to  Purchase  dated
November 18, 1996 from  Everest  Realty  Investors,  LLC  ("Everest"),  in which
Everest  offered to purchase  up to 15,695  (40%) of the  currently  outstanding
Units of  Connecticut  General  Equity  Properties-I  Limited  Partnership  (the
"Partnership") at a purchase price of $275 per Unit less certain adjustments and
expenses (the "Everest Offer").

                  THE PARTNERSHIP RECOMMENDS THAT UNITHOLDERS REJECT THE EVEREST
OFFER AND NOT TENDER THEIR UNITS TO EVEREST.

     Enclosed is a copy of the  Partnership's  Schedule 14D-9,  filed today with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  in which the reasons and the basis for
the Partnership's recommendation that you reject the Everest Offer are explained
more fully. To summarize:

         o        The General Partner estimates that the  Partnership's  current
                  net asset value is  approximately  $425 per Unit;  the Everest
                  Offer  provides  for a  purchase  price of only  $275 per Unit
                  (less certain adjustments and expenses),  less than 65% of the
                  current net asset value.

         o        The Partnership is currently  engaged in discussions with Koll
                  General Partner Services ("Koll") regarding a possible sale of
                  the Partnership  assets.  Koll has made an offer, on behalf of
                  Glenborough Realty Trust Incorporated,  to purchase all of the
                  assets and  liabilities  of the  Partnership  for $13 million,
                  which represents approximately ninety percent (90%) of the
                  Partnership's  estimated  net asset value as of  December  31,
                  1995  (adjusted  for  the  sale  of  the  Westside  Industrial
                  Property)(the  "Koll Proposal").  While the Partnership is not
                  yet prepared to recommend such a transaction, and there can be
                  no  assurance  at this  time  that the Koll  Proposal  will be
                  consummated,   the  Partnership   intends  to  continue  these
                  discussions with Koll, and to explore other  alternatives that
                  may become  available,  because it  believes  that a return to
                  Unitholders  in excess of the Everest  Offer price of $275 per
                  Unit is obtainable.

         o      The Everest Offer is to purchase up to 15,695 Units,
                representing only approximately 40% of all outstanding Units.
                Accordingly, the Everest Offer is not available to a majority of
                Unitholders, and no Unitholder, regardless of when he or she
                responds, can be assured of disposing of all his or her Units
                under the terms of the Everest Offer.  By contrast, the Koll
                Proposal, if consummated, would provide for a sale of all of the
                assets and liabilities of the Partnership.

This letter merely summarizes the  Partnership's  recommendation as explained in
the enclosed  Schedule  14D-9,  and is qualified  by the  information  set forth
therein;  accordingly,  you are  urged  to read  the  enclosed  Schedule  in its
entirety.

                  If  you  sell  your  interest  in  the  Partnership,   it  may
constitute  a taxable  event to you.  Accordingly,  if you wish to consider  the
Everest Offer notwithstanding the foregoing recommendation,  please consult your
adviser to review your personal tax situation before accepting the Everest Offer
or tendering any of your Units.

                  Please call the  undersigned  with any  questions you may have
regarding the Everest Offer, the information set forth in the enclosed  Schedule
14D-9, the status of your investment, or any other related matter.

                                      Sincerely,

                       (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


     Readers of this quarterly  report should refer to the  CONNECTICUT  GENERAL
EQUITY PROPERTIES-I LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP'S ("the Partnership") audited financial
statements  for the year  ended  December  31,  1995 which are  included  in the
Partnership's  1995 Annual Report,  as certain footnote  disclosures which would
substantially  duplicate  those contained in such audited  financial  statements
have been omitted from this report.

1.   BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  The accompanying financial statements were prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles,  and reflect
     management's estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. It
     is the  opinion  of  management  that the  financial  statements  presented
     reflect  all  the  adjustments  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the
     financial condition and results of operations.

B)   RECENT  ACCOUNTING   PRONOUNCEMENT:   In  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting
     Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
     "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
     Assets to be  Disposed  Of" (the  "Statement").  The  Statement  requires a
     writedown  to fair  value  when  long-lived  assets to be held and used are
     impaired.  Long-lived  assets to be disposed of, including real estate held
     for sale,  must be carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to
     sell.  In addition,  the  Statement  prohibits  depreciation  of long-lived
     assets to be disposed.  Adoption of the  Statement in the first  quarter of
     1996 had no effect on the  Partnership's  results of operations,  liquidity
     and financial condition.

C)   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Short-term investments with a maturity of three
     months or less at the time of purchase are reported as cash equivalents.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1996, the Partnership's  cash and cash equivalents and the
Partnership's  share of cash  and cash  equivalents  from  the  Westford  Office
Venture totaled $785,315 and $461,967,  respectively. The Partnership's cash and
cash equivalents were available for working capital requirements,  cash reserves
and distributions to partners.  The Partnership paid the first quarter 1996 cash
distribution  of $182,451 or $4.65 per Unit on May 15, 1996,  the second quarter
cash  distribution  of  $196,576 or $5.01 per Unit on August 15,  1996,  and the
third  quarter cash  distribution  of $215,407 or $5.49 per Unit on November 15,
1996. The cash distributions were representative of each quarter's adjusted cash
from operations,  inclusive of adjustments to cash reserves.  The  Partnership's
distributions  from  operations  for the  remainder  of the year should  reflect
actual  operating  results  subject to changes in reserves  for  liabilities  or
leasing risk.

     Lake Point's  adjusted cash from  operations  for the third quarter of 1996
totaled approximately  $123,000 after $127,000 of leasing commissions and tenant
improvements,  (including  utilization  of $20,000 of cash  reserves  to cover a
portion of the third  quarter  leasing  cost).  A  scheduled  plumbing  project,
budgeted  at  $33,000,   will  be  completed   during  the  fourth  quarter  and
approximately  $50,000 to $60,000 of leasing  costs  related to leases signed in
the third quarter will be incurred in the fourth quarter.  The 1996 leasing plan
has been completed with no remaining  leasing exposure for 1996. The property is
100%  occupied at  September  30,  1996.  During the third  quarter,  one of the
property's major tenants  assigned its lease to a successor  company without the
Partnership's consent. The Partnership's property manager is currently reviewing
the  situation  to ensure that there is no major  effect from this change on the
property's operations.

     Woodlands Plaza generated  $75,000 of adjusted cash from operations for the
third  quarter of 1996  after  approximately  $19,500  of  leasing  costs and an
addition to cash  reserves  of $21,000.  Two  tenants,  representing  a total of
16,590  square  feet,  or 23% of net  rentable  area,  renewed  during the third
quarter,  eliminating  the  remaining  1996 leasing  exposure.  The  Partnership
estimated  another  $25,000 of  expenditures  in the fourth  quarter to complete
tenant  improvements for third quarter renewing tenants.  The property was 98.5%
occupied at September 30, 1996.

     At Westford  Corporate Center,  adjusted cash from operations for the third
quarter was $270,000 ($70,400 attributable to the Partnership's  interest).  The
property remains 100% occupied.  No capital  expenditures  have been planned for
the year. During the first quarter,  a portion of the 1995 capital  expenditures
was  reimbursed  by the tenants.  In addition,  adjustments  were made to reduce
other  income (and the portion of account  receivable  representing  1995 tenant
reimbursement  billings)  based on the final  calculation  of actual 1995 tenant
reimbursable  operating expenses. The 1996 estimated billings for tenant expense
reimbursement are based on the annual budget.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Generally, decreases in the income statement accounts are the result of the
sales of the remaining buildings of Westside Industrials. Buildings #3, 4 and 5,
sold on December 26,  1995,  were fully  occupied in the first  quarter of 1995.
Building  #6, sold on April 27,  1995,  was vacant in 1995.  For the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995,  Westside  Industrials  accounted  for  approximately
$152,000  of  rental  income,  $17,000  of other  income,  $81,000  of  property
operating expenses,  $15,000 of general and administrative  expenses and $31,000
of depreciation and amortization. For the three months ended September 30, 1995,
Westside  Industrials  accounted  for  approximately  $51,000 of rental  income,
$7,000 of other  income,  $27,000  of  property  operating  expenses,  $3,000 of
general and administrative expenses and $9,000 of depreciation and amortization.
The  following  analytical  comments  have  been  limited  to the  Partnership's
remaining properties.

                       (A CONNECTICUT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)




     Rental  income  increased  for the three months and  decreased for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1996, as compared with the same periods in 1995. The
decrease for the nine months was the result of lease  termination  fees recorded
in the  second  quarter  of 1995 for  Woodlands  Plaza.  Exclusive  of the lease
termination  fees,  rental income increased at Woodlands Plaza for the three and
nine months due to a rise in leased space. Rental income at Lake Point increased
approximately  $16,000 and $82,000 for the three and nine months,  respectively,
due to the  renewal  of a tenant in the  fourth  quarter of 1995 with new terms,
including  a  higher  base  rental  rate  and  a  lower  expense   reimbursement
requirement,  and the timing of tenant  occupancies  during the first quarter of
1995 versus 1996.

     The decrease in other income for the three and nine months ended  September
30, 1996, as compared with the same periods of 1995, was primarily the result of
lower expense charge-back  billings at Woodlands Plaza due to lower property tax
expense coupled with higher base years on 1995 leases.

     Interest income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996,  as compared  with the same periods of 1995,  due to a lower  average cash
balance  and a slight  decrease in  interest  rates from the prior  year.  For a
portion of 1995,  the cash  balance  included  funds  received  from the sale of
Westside building #6 and Woodlands Plaza lease termination fees.

     Property  operating  expenses increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Cleaning and utility expenses increased at Lake Point due to
a change in a tenant's  lease upon renewal to a "full service  lease"  effective
November 1, 1995, and at Woodlands Plaza due to higher occupancy. Offsetting the
expense  increase  at  Woodlands  Plaza for the nine  months was a  decrease  in
property tax expense due to lower accrual estimates.  Additionally,  maintenance
and  repairs and  management  fees  decreased  at  Woodlands  Plaza for the nine
months,  primarily  as a result of  nonrecurring  maintenance  projects in 1995,
including  painting of the vending  lounge,  and management fees earned on lease
termination fees in 1995.  Property  operating  expenses increased for the three
months at Woodlands Plaza as a result of a $20,000  property tax refund received
in the third quarter of 1995.

     The  decrease  in general  and  administrative  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996, as compared with the same period of 1995,  was the result of
a  net  decrease  in  the  provision  for  doubtful   accounts  coupled  with  a
nonrecurring appraisal fee for Woodlands Plaza in 1995.

     The decrease in fees and  reimbursements  to  affiliates  for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared with the same periods of 1995,
was due to a decrease in the partnership management fee as a result of a drop in
adjusted cash from  operations.  Adjusted cash from operations was impacted by a
higher level of capital  improvements and leasing costs in 1996 as well as lease
termination fees received in 1995.

     Depreciation and amortization decreased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared with the same periods in 1995,  due primarily to
accelerated  depreciation  and  amortization  of assets  associated with vacated
tenants at Woodlands  Plaza in 1995.  Partially  offsetting  the decrease was an
increase  in  depreciation  and  amortization  at Lake  Point due to new  tenant
improvements and leasing commissions incurred during the second quarter of 1995.

     The gain on sale was the result of the sale of building #6 of the  Westside
property in April 1995.

     The joint venture net income  decreased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared with the same periods in 1995.  Revenue declined
as the result of a lower base rental rate for the replacement tenant of a tenant
that

vacated in December  1995. In the first quarter of 1996, an adjustment  was made
that reduced other income because the actual recovery of operating  expenses and
taxes  from  tenants  for 1995 was  lower  than  estimated.  Property  operating
expenses in 1996 increased due to increase in snow removal costs, as a result of
a harsh  winter,  and costs for an HVAC  project.  In  addition,  a  landscaping
project capitalized in 1995 was reclassed to an expense account in 1996.
