Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ----------------------------------------------

     Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") owned a 51.75% partnership interest in Prentiss/Copley Itasca
Associates (the "Joint Venture"), a Delaware general partnership organized to
own real property.  A 23.25% partnership interest was owned by Copley Pension
Properties VII: A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Affiliate") and the
remaining 25% was owned by Prentiss Properties Itasca, L.P., a Texas limited
partnership (the "Developer").  Per the Partnership Agreement, as a result of
default contributions made on behalf of the Developer, the Partnership and its
Affiliates' ownership percentages were increased to 62.08% and 27.89%,
respectively, and the Developer's ownership percentage was decreased to 10.03%
as of the date of sale.  On February 26, 2001, the Joint Venture sold its
property located at 225 Spring Lake, Itasca, Illinois to an unaffiliated third
party (the "Buyer") for gross proceeds of $4,575,000.  The selling price was
determined by arm's length negotiations between the Joint Venture and the Buyer.
The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $2,988,000, representing
a return of capital and accrued priority return totaling approximately
$2,867,000, and its share of residual proceeds of approximately $121,000.  The
Partnership recognized a gain of approximately $1,133,000.
