   This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, dated February 1,
1995, as amended (the "Schedule 14D-9"), of Springhill Lake Investors Limited
Partnership. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the definitions set
forth in the Schedule 14D-9 unless otherwise provided herein.

ITEM 3. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND AND

ITEM 7. CERTAIN NEGOTIATIONS AND TRANSACTIONS BY THE SUBJECT COMPANY

   On March 17, 1995, Three Winthrop received a letter from Greenbelt
stating, among other things, that Greenbelt had received consents
representing more than a majority in interest in the Units. Attached to such
letter were letters dated the same date from Lerner and Lerner's attorney to
the Lender stating the same and requesting that the Lender indicate that it
will not declare a default upon the delivery of such consents to the
Partnership. On March 17, 1994, Three Winthrop delivered a letter to the
Lender explaining that Lerner has no way of knowing how many consents he has
actually received since some Limited Partners may have both consented to the
Lerner Proposal and tendered their Units to the Purchaser, and that once the
Purchaser purchases Units tendered, any consent to the Lerner Proposal which
a tendering Limited Partner may have previously granted will be automatically
terminated pursuant to the terms of Lerner's Consent Solicitation.
