         (a)  These costs are mostly recorded as general and administrative
              expenses and represent reimbursement to HRC, at cost, for
              partnership level salaries, employee and director insurance, and
              certain overhead costs.  HRP pays, on a monthly basis, the
              balance of its account with HRC.

3  DEPRECIATION OF REAL ESTATE ASSETS

   During, 1997, HRP completed a review of its real estate asset lives.  In
   light of recent improvements and actions taken to increase its preventative
   maintenance programs, the estimated economic lives for HRP's buildings were
   found to be generally longer than the useful lives being used for
   depreciation purposes.  Accordingly, effective January 1, 1997, HRP extended
   the depreciable lives of certain building costs.  The effect of this change
   in estimate reduced depreciation and amortization expense and the net income
   (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 1997 by approximately $1,800,000
   ($1.07 per unit).

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1996

REVENUE FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS increased $581,000, or 4.8%, for the first
quarter of 1997, compared to the 1996 first quarter. The following table
illustrates the components of the change, in thousands:


                                                     
                    Rental income, net                $ 528
                    Expense recoveries                   75
                    Other property income               (22)
                                                      -----
                       Net increase                   $ 581
                                                      =====


Rental income increased primarily as the result of a rise in average occupancy
between the comparable periods from 83.9% to 92.0%.  As of March 31, 1997, HRP
had leases executed and in place for 94.2% of the portfolio's net rentable
square feet.

INTEREST INCOME fell $105,000 as a result of decreased earnings on overnight
investments due to lower average cash balances available for investment between
the periods.

PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES decreased $61,000, or 1.0%, for the first quarter
of 1997, compared to the same period in 1996.  The following table illustrates
the components of the change, in thousands:


                                                     
                    Administrative costs              $  59
                    Management fees                     (17)
                    Marketing and leasing               (22)
                    Utilities                           (22)
                    Services, including janitorial      121
                    Repairs and maintenance            (108)
                    Real estate taxes                   (28)
                    Insurance                           (44)
                                                      -----
                         Net decrease                 $ (61)
                                                      =====


Administrative costs grew due to increases in salary costs and certain
professional fees.  Service costs expanded due to increases in security patrol,
snow removal and cleaning costs.  Repairs and maintenance declined primarily
due to maintenance costs performed on heating and air duct systems in the 1996
period.

INTEREST EXPENSE diminished $315,000, or 8.9%, principally due to loan
modifications/renewals for First Maryland Building and Executive Park in 1996.
First Maryland's costs dropped $176,000 and is comprised of a $96,000 reduction
in cash interest paid to the lender and $80,000 increase in amortization of
mortgage principal forgiveness.  Executive Park's costs decreased $86,000 due
to the reduction in its interest rate by more than 1%.  All other interest
costs fell $53,000 due to a reduction in debt levels between the periods.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE decreased $1,728,000 primarily due to an
extension of depreciable lives of certain building costs effective January 1,
1997 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were comparable between the two periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


HRP is engaged in diversified real estate activities, including the
acquisition, ownership and operation of commercial office and industrial real
estate and other real estate related assets.  While it is HRC's primary
intention to operate HRP's existing real estate investments and to acquire and
operate additional real estate investments, HRC also continually evaluates each
of HRP's real estate investments in light of current economic trends and
operations to determine if any should be considered for disposal.

As of March 31, 1997, HRP owned twelve real estate properties located in six
states.  Seven are commercial office building properties and five are
industrial park properties containing approximately 2,610,000 and 2,557,000 net
rentable square feet, respectively.  HRP seeks to maximize the value of its
real estate by making capital and tenant improvements, by executing marketing
programs to attract and retain tenants and by controlling or reducing, where
possible, operating expenses.

As of March 31, 1997, HRP had cash and cash equivalents of $3,020,000 as
compared to $3,556,000 as of December 31, 1996.  Therefore, HRP's cash position
decreased $536,000 during the first three months of 1997.  The sources of cash
during the period were $1,171,000 of cash provided by operating activities and
$148,000 of miscellaneous reimbursements from investing activities.  Uses of
cash during the period were $1,080,000 of property and tenant improvements and
$775,000 of mortgage principal payments.

Substantially all of the buildings in eleven of HRP's properties were
encumbered by and pledged as collateral under non- recourse mortgages as of
March 31, 1997.  Based upon loan maturities currently in effect, in the
aggregate, HRP is required to pay about $2,309,000 of principal payments for
the remainder of 1997.  HRP doesn't have any mortgage loans maturing or
requiring balloon principal payments until the year 2000.

HRC anticipates tenant improvements and lease commissions for 1997 to decrease
as compared to the higher than usual level incurred during the year 1996.
Based on current estimates and budgets as of March 31, 1997, HRP anticipates
construction spending for tenant and capital improvements of about $3,500,000
and lease commission payments of about $700,000 for the remainder of 1997.

For the foreseeable future, management anticipates that mortgage principal
payments, tenant improvements and capital expenditures, and lease commissions
will be funded by the cash flow provided by operations.  The primary source of
capital to fund acquisitions will be proceeds from the sale or financing of one
or more of its properties.
