Note 1 - Organization and Business

     Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the
purpose of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income
producing real properties.  It primarily serves as an investment for
qualified pension and profit sharing plans and other organizations
intended to be exempt from federal income tax.  The Partnership commenced
operations in July 1988, and acquired the five real estate investments it
currently owns prior to the end of 1991.  It intends to dispose of its
investments within eight to twelve years of their acquisition, and then
liquidate.

     The Wilmington Industrial building is being depreciated over 30 years
and capitalized improvements are being depreciated over seven years.  The
buildings and improvements at Stemmons Industrial are being depreciated
over 25 years.

     During the second quarter of 1995, as a result of a revision to long-
term rental assumptions, the managing general partner determined that the
carrying value of the Wilmington Industrial property would not be
recovered through expected future undiscounted cash flows.  Accordingly,
the carrying value was reduced to estimated net fair market value through
the recognition of an investment valuation allowance of $1,500,000.


Note 4 - Subsequent Event

     Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 were made on April 25, 1996 in the aggregate amount of
$520,898 ($10.57 per limited partnership unit).

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited
partnership interest on December 31, 1988.  A total of 48,788 units were
sold.  The Partnership received proceeds of $43,472,858, net of selling
commissions and other offering costs, which have been used for investment
in real estate, for the payment of related acquisition costs or retained
as working capital reserves.  The Partnership made seven real estate
investments; one was sold in 1990, and another in 1994.  As a result of
these sales, capital of $11,271,004 has been returned to the limited
partners ($231.02 per limited partnership unit).

     At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had $5,280,038 in cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments, of which $520,898 was used for
cash distributions to partners on April 25, 1996; the remainder is being
retained as working capital reserves.  The source of future liquidity and
cash distributions to partners will be cash generated by the Partnership's
short-term and real estate investments.  Based on an adjusted capital
contribution of $768.98 per limited partnership unit, the distribution of
cash from operations relating to the first quarter of 1996 was made at the
annualized rate of 5.5%.  The distribution rate for the comparative prior
year quarter was 6.5%.  The decrease in the distribution rate is due to
the decline in cash flow from operations as a result of the vacancy at
Stemmons Industrial.

     The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial
statements is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value
is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future
cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value.
The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the
estimated cost of sale for properties held for sale.  Carrying value may
be greater or less than current appraised value.  At March 31, 1996,
appraised values exceeded the related carrying values by an aggregate of
approximately $4,673,000.  The current appraised value of real estate
investments has been estimated by the Managing General Partner and is
generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches
performed by the Partnership's advisor and independent appraisers.
Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the
estimated current appraised value may differ significantly from that which
could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the
marketplace.



Results of Operations

Form of Real Estate Investments

     The Wilmington Industrial and Stemmons Industrial investments are
wholly-owned properties.  The Lakewood investment, which was sold in
August, 1994, was a joint venture, as are the remaining investments in the
portfolio.


Operating Factors

     Two of the Partnership's four industrial properties (Prentiss
Copystar and White Phonic) were 100% leased at March 31, 1996.  At March
31, 1995, Stemmons Industrial was also 100% leased; however, the sole
tenant vacated upon expiration of its lease on September 30, 1995.  The
Partnership negotiated a four-month lease for 82% of the space, beginning
November 1, 1995, with a corporation that needed temporary warehouse
capacity.  That lease expired at the end of February 1996 and the tenant
vacated.  The Partnership is marketing this space to potential long-term
tenants.  There are no likely prospects at this time.

     Although occupancy at the Wilmington Industrial property declined to
73% from 89% during the first quarter, occupancy is expected to improve by
the end of the second quarter of 1996.  During the second quarter of 1995,
the managing general partner determined the Partnership would likely not
recover the carrying value of this investment over the projected holding
period.  Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced to estimated net fair
market value, with a charge to operations of $1,500,000.

     Occupancy at Waterford Apartments, the Partnership's multi-family
residential property, remained in the mid 90% range during the first
quarter of 1996, which is consistent with the prior year.


Investment Results

     Interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments did
not change significantly between the first quarter of 1996 and 1995,
investment balances and interest rates were relatively stable.

     Total real estate activity for the first quarter of 1996 was
$298,605, a decrease from $450,027 for the comparable period of 1995.
Operating income at Stemmons Industrial decreased $133,000 due to lower
rental revenue and higher expenses as a result of the vacancy and lease
rollover.  In addition, operating results at Waterford Apartments
decreased by $35,000 due to higher operating expenses for repairs and
maintenance.

     Cash flow from operations decreased by $106,177 between the first
quarters of 1996 and 1995.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the
operating results at Stemmons Industrial.

Portfolio Expenses

     The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner.  General and administrative
expenses consist primarily of real estate appraisal, printing, legal,
accounting and investor servicing fees.

     The management fee decreased in the first quarter of 1996 due to a
decrease in the distributable cash flow.  General and administrative
expenses decreased primarily due to lower professional fees.
