forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of

conditions generally and the real estate market specifically,
legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the
taxation of REITs), availability of capital, interest rates, competition,

                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

                                  THE COMPANY

     GENERAL

     First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. ("First Industrial" or the "Company")
is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns,
manages, acquires and develops industrial real estate.  The Company completed
its initial public offering in June 1994 (the "Initial Offering").  Upon
consummation of the Initial Offering, the Company owned 226 bulk warehouse and
light industrial properties which contained an aggregate of 17.4 million square
feet of gross leasable area ("GLA").  As of December 31, 1996, the Company's
portfolio consisted of 379 in-service bulk warehouse and light industrial
properties containing approximately 32.7 million square feet of GLA located in
14 states, principally in the midwestern portion of the United States.

     The Company's interests in its properties are held through partnerships
controlled by the Company, including First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), of which the Company is the sole general partner, as well as,
among others, First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P. (the "Financing
Partnership"), First Industrial Securities, L.P. (the "Securities
Partnership"), First Industrial Mortgage Partnership, L.P. (the "Mortgage
Partnership"), First Industrial Harrisburg, L.P. (the "Harrisburg
Partnership"), and First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the "Indianapolis
Partnership"), each of which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the
sole general partner and the Operating Partnership is the sole limited partner.

     The Company's initial interest in the Operating Partnership was obtained
in connection with the Initial Offering in exchange for the contribution of
substantially all of the net proceeds thereof.  Immediately prior to the
Initial Offering, the Operating Partnership, which had previously been
controlled by members of The Shidler Group, owned 23 properties.  In connection
with the Initial Offering, (1) entities affiliated with First Industrial
Chairman of the Board Jay H. Shidler and other members of The Shidler Group
contributed to the Operating Partnership 30 additional properties and the
assets of certain property management operations and received $3.2 million in
cash and ownership of 2,306,399 shares of the Company's common stock and
830,017 limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("Units")
having an aggregate value of $73.7 million (based on the initial public
offering price of $23.50) and the assumption by the Operating Partnership of
$107.4 million of indebtedness owed to affiliates of Jay H. Shidler and other
members of The Shidler Group, (2) businesses of which First Industrial
Executive Officers Michael G. Damone and Anthony Muscatello, and former Senior


                                       2

Regional Director Steven B. Hoyt were principals contributed to the Operating
Partnership 97 properties in the Detroit, central Pennsylvania and
Minneapolis/St. Paul areas, respectively, and certain property management
operations (such businesses, together with The Shidler Group, the "Contributing
Businesses") and received $3.9 million in cash, 475,710 Units having a value of
$11.2 million (based on the initial public offering price of $23.50) and the
assumption of $131.4 million of indebtedness, (3) the Company and the Operating
Partnership contributed a portion of the net proceeds of the Initial Offering
to the Financing Partnership, (4) the Financing Partnership entered into the
1994 Mortgage Loan (as hereinafter defined) and (5) the Operating Partnership
and the Financing Partnership acquired 76 additional properties from
unaffiliated third parties.

     First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation organized on
August 10, 1993, and is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections
856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     The Company is continuing and expanding the midwestern industrial property
business of The Shidler Group, a national organization with over 20 years
experience in the industrial real estate business. The Company's Chairman of
the Board and senior executive officers have an average of 19 years of business
experience.  The Company utilizes an operating approach which combines the
effectiveness of locally based, or decentralized, property management,
acquisition and development functions with the cost efficiencies of centralized
acquisition and development support, capital markets expertise, asset
management and fiscal control systems.  At December 31, 1996, the Company had
106 employees.

     The Company has grown and will  seek to continue to grow through the
acquisition of additional industrial properties and businesses, and through the
development, primarily on a pre-leased basis, of build-to-suit properties.


     BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND GROWTH PLANS

     First Industrial's fundamental business objective is to maximize the total
return to its stockholders through increases in per share distributions and
increases in the value of the Company's properties and operations.   The
Company's growth plan includes the following elements:

- -    Internal Growth.  The Company seeks to grow internally by (i) increasing
     revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at
     higher rental levels; (ii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where
     vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iii) controlling and
     minimizing operating expenses; and (iv) renovating existing properties.

- -    External Growth.  The Company seeks to grow externally through (i) the
     acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties, industrial property
     businesses or individual properties which meet the Company's investment
     parameters; (ii) the development of primarily build-to-suit properties;
     and (iii) the expansion of its properties.


     BUSINESS STRATEGIES

     First Industrial utilizes the following seven strategies in connection
     with the operation of its business:

- -    Organization Strategy.  The Company implements its decentralized property
     operations strategy through the use of experienced regional management
     teams and local property managers.  Each operating region is headed by a
     senior regional director, who is a senior executive officer of, and has an
     equity interest in, the Company.  The Company provides acquisition and
     financing assistance, property management oversight and financial
     reporting functions from its headquarters in Chicago to support its
     regional operations.  The Company believes the size of its portfolio
     enables it to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead over
     many properties and by negotiating quantity purchasing discounts.


                                       3


   5


- -    Market Strategy.  The Company invests in markets where it can achieve size
     and economies of scale.  By focusing on specific markets, properties can
     be added without incurring appreciable increases in overhead.  Based on
     the size of its portfolios in its current markets, which as of December
     31, 1996 averaged approximately 2.1 million square feet per market, and
     the experience of its senior regional directors, the Company believes that
     it has sufficient market presence and resources to compete effectively.
     As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned portfolios in the metropolitan
     areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Detroit, Michigan; Atlanta,
     Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Indianapolis, Indiana;
     Central Pennsylvania; Nashville, Tennessee; St. Louis, Missouri; Columbus,
     Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; Des Moines, Iowa; Milwaukee, Wisconsin;  Dayton,
     Ohio; and Cleveland, Ohio.

- -    Leasing and Marketing Strategy.  The Company has an operational management
     strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio
     performance.  The Company pursues an active leasing strategy, which
     includes aggressively marketing available space, renewing existing leases
     at higher rents per square foot and seeking leases which provide for the
     pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant.  The Company also
     has local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and
     brokerage communities and national tenants.

- -    Acquisition Strategy. The primary focus of First Industrial's acquisition
     strategy is to acquire properties in its current markets to capitalize on
     local market expertise and maximize operating effectiveness and
     efficiencies.  As appropriate opportunities arise, the Company will
     acquire additional properties in other markets where it can achieve
     sufficient size and scale as well as hire top-quality management.

- -    Development Strategy.   Of the 379 buildings in First Industrial's
     portfolio at December 31, 1996, 99 have been developed by its current or
     former management.  The Company will continue to leverage the development
     capabilities of its management, many of whom are leading developers in
     their respective markets.  In 1996, the Company formed a new subsidiary
     ("FI Development Services Group, Inc.") to focus on development
     activities.

- -    Disposition Strategy.  The Company continually evaluates local market
     conditions and property-related factors and will sell a property when it
     believes it is to the Company's advantage to do so.

- -    Financing Strategy.  The Company believes that the size of its portfolio,
     the diversity of its buildings and tenants and the financial strength of
     the Company allow it access to the public capital markets which are not
     generally available to smaller, less diversified property owners because
     of the portfolio size and diversity requirements of those markets.


     RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In 1996, the Company acquired or completed development of 114 properties
for a total estimated investment of approximately $262.0 million.  Also,  in
1996, the Company improved its capital structure by (1) issuing 5.175 million
shares (inclusive of the underwriters' over-allotment option) of common stock
on February 2, 1996, at a purchase price to the public of $22 per share.  The
net proceeds of $106.3 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings
totaling $59.4 million and fund property acquisitions; (2) issuing 5.75 million
shares (inclusive of the underwriters' over-allotment option) of common stock
on October 25, 1996, at a purchase price to the public of $25.50 per share.
The net proceeds of $137.7 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings of
$84.2 million and fund property acquisitions; and (3) terminating its $150
million secured revolving credit facility ("1994 Acquisition Facility") and
entering into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility ("1996
Unsecured Acquisition Facility").  The 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility
initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.10% which is .65 percentage points
less than the interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% borne by the 1994 Acquisition
Facility.

   6


     Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company purchased 45 properties
containing an aggregate of 3.9 million square feet of GLA for approximately
$164.3 million, or $42 per square foot.  The purchase price consisted of
approximately $110.3 million cash, Operating Partnership units valued at
approximately $49.5 million and assumed debt of approximately $4.5 million.


     FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND DEVELOPMENT

     The Company has an active acquisition and development program through
which it is continually engaged in identifying, negotiating and consummating
portfolio and individual industrial property acquisitions and developments.  As
a result, the Company is currently engaged in negotiations relating to the
possible acquisitions and developments of a number of properties located in the
Company's current markets and other markets into which the Company may expand.

     When evaluating potential acquisitions and development, the Company will
consider such factors as:  (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii)
the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii)
the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (iv) the ability of the
Company to improve the property's performance through renovation; (v) the terms
of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (vi) the
potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the
area in which the property is located; (vii) the potential for expansion of the
physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites; (viii) the
occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the
vicinity; and (ix) competition from existing properties and the potential for
the construction of new properties in the area.



                                    INDUSTRY

     Industrial properties are typically used for the design, assembly,
packaging, storage and distribution of goods and/or the provision of services.
As a result, the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to
the level of economic output. Historically, occupancy rates for industrial
property in the United States have been higher than those for other types of
commercial property.  The Company believes that the higher occupancy rate in
the industrial property sector is a result of the construction-on-demand nature
of, and the comparatively short development time required for, industrial
property.

     Overall, the midwest region (where approximately 74% of the properties
owned at December 31, 1996 and 68% of the properties owned at March 27, 1997
are located) has had the highest average occupancy rate for industrial
properties of the major regions in the United States since 1992, according to
CB Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc.'s industry index, which measures the
supply of available space in large industrial buildings in the major geographic
regions of the United States.

ITEM 2. THE PROPERTIES

     GENERAL

     At December 31, 1996, First Industrial owned 379 in-service properties
containing approximately 32.7 million square feet of GLA in 14 states, with a
diverse base of more than 990 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses,
including manufacturing, retailing, wholesale trade, distribution and
professional services.  The properties are generally located in business parks
which have convenient access to interstate highways and rail and air
transportation.  The median age of the properties as of December 31, 1996 was
approximately 11 years.

     The Company classifies its properties into two industrial categories:
bulk warehouse and light industrial.  The Company's bulk warehouse properties
are generally used for bulk storage of materials and manufactured goods and its
light industrial properties are generally used for the design, assembly,
packaging and distribution of goods and, in some cases, the provision of
services.  Each of the properties is wholly owned by the Company.  The
following table summarizes certain information as of December 31, 1996 with
respect to the Company's properties.  Information in the table excludes
properties under development at December 31, 1996.

     TENANT AND LEASE INFORMATION

     The Company has a diverse base of more than 990 tenants engaged in a wide
variety of businesses including manufacturing, retailing, wholesale trade,
distribution and professional services.  Most leases have an initial term of
between three and five years and provide for periodic rental increases that are
either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.  Industrial
tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their
percentage of the property's operating costs, including the costs of common
area maintenance, property taxes and insurance.  As of December 31, 1996,
approximately 97% of the GLA of the properties was leased, and no single tenant
or group of related tenants accounted for more than 2.1% of the Company's rent
revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more
than 2.4%, of the Company's total GLA as of December 31, 1996.

     The following table shows scheduled lease expirations for all leases for
the Company's properties as of December 31, 1996.

Mortgage Loan") from an institutional lender.  The 1994 Mortgage Loan matures
June 30, 1999 unless extended by the Financing Partnership, subject to certain
conditions, for an additional two year period, thereby maturing on June 30,
2001.  The 1994 Mortgage Loan provides for interest only payments which have
been effectively fixed at a rate of 6.97% through June 30, 2001 by certain
interest rate protection agreements.  The 1994 Mortgage Loan is collateralized

The 1994 Mortgage Loan may not be prepaid prior to January 1, 1998.  Subsequent

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company made a one-time paydown of $.2
million on the 1995 Mortgage Loan decreasing the outstanding balance to $40
million.  The 1995 Mortgage Loan matures on January 11, 2026. The 1995 Mortgage
Loan provides for interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.22% per annum through
January 11, 2003, and provides for interest only payments through January 11,
1998, with monthly principal and interest payments required subsequently based
on a 28-year amortization schedule.  After January 11, 2003, the interest rate

The 1995 Mortgage Loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on 23
properties owned by the Mortgage Partnership.  The 1995 Mortgage Loan may be
prepaid only after December 31, 1997, in whole or in part and in exchange for a

     On March 20, 1996, the Company, through the Operating Partnership and the
Indianapolis Partnership, entered into  an approximately $36.7 million mortgage
loan (the "CIGNA Loan") that is collateralized by seven properties in
Indianapolis, Indiana and three properties in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The CIGNA Loan
bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.5% and provides for monthly
principal and interest payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule.  The
CIGNA Loan will mature on April 1, 2003.   The CIGNA Loan may be prepaid only

maintenance premium.

     On March 20, 1996, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, assumed
an approximately $6.4 million mortgage loan and an approximately $3.0 million

respectively.  The Assumed Loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.25% and
provide for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 16.75-year

(a)  One-time loss from disposition of Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
(b)  Upon consummation of the Initial Offering in June 1994, certain
     Contributing Businesses' loans were repaid and the related unamortized
     deferred financing fees totaling $1,449 were written off. In 1996, the
     Company terminated certain revolving credit facilities and construction
     loans before their contractual maturity date.  The resulting write-off of
     unamortized deferred financing costs and prepayment fee incurred to retire
     the above mentioned credit facilities and loans was $2,273.
(c)  Management considers funds from operations to be one financial measure of
     the operating performance of an equity REIT that provides a relevant basis
     for comparison among REITs and it is presented to assist investors in
     analyzing the performance of the Company.  In accordance with the National
     Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' definition of funds from
     operations, the Company calculates funds from operations to be equal
     to net income, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
     sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, excluding
     amortization of deferred financing costs and interest rate protection
     agreements, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
     joint ventures.  Funds from operations does not represent cash generated
     from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund
     cash needs, including the payment of dividends and distributions.  Funds
     from operations should not be considered as a substitute for net income as
     a measure of results of operations or for cash flow from operating
     activities calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles as a measure of liquidity.  Funds from operations as 
     calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled but 
     differently calculated measures of other REITs.  The following is a 
     reconciliation of net income to funds from operations:

(d)  For purposes of computing the ratios of earnings to fixed charges and
     preferred stock dividends, earnings have been calculated by adding fixed
     charges (excluding capitalized interest) to income (loss) before
     disposition of interest rate protection agreement, gain on sales of
     properties, minority interest and extraordinary items. Fixed charges
     consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, and
     amortization of interest rate protection agreement(s) and deferred
     financing costs.
(e)  Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by approximately $1.4
     million, $3.4 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
     1994 and the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, which
     periods were prior to the Company's initial public offering.
(f)  As of end of period and excludes properties under development.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with "Selected
Financial and Operating Data" and the historical Consolidated and Combined
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

     At December 31, 1996, the Company owned 379 in-service properties
containing approximately 32.7 million square feet of GLA, compared to 271
in-service properties with approximately 22.6 million square feet of GLA at
December 31, 1995.  During 1996, the Company acquired 112 properties containing
approximately 10.4 million square feet of GLA, completed development of two
properties totaling .2 million square feet of GLA and sold six properties
totaling .4 million square feet of GLA.


                                       20
   22


     Revenues increased in 1996 over 1995 by $33.6 million or 31.5% due
primarily to the properties acquired after December 31, 1994.  Revenues from
properties owned prior to January 1, 1995 increased in 1996 over 1995 by $3.2
million or 3.3% due primarily to increased rental rates upon renewal or
replacement of tenant leases and additional amounts charged to tenants for
additional property expenses incurred in 1996.

     Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
increased in 1996 over 1995 by $10.9 million or 38.6% due primarily to
properties acquired after December 31, 1994.  For properties owned prior to
January 1, 1995, property expenses increased in 1996 over 1995 by $1.2 million
or 4.8% due to additional snow removal expenses incurred in the Minneapolis and
Harrisburg metropolitan areas, additional repair and maintenance expenses
incurred in the Chicago metropolitan area and increased real estate taxes in
the majority of the Company's geographical markets.

     General and administrative expense increased in 1996 over 1995 by $.9
million due primarily to the additional expenses associated with managing the
Company's growing operations (including additional professional fees relating
to additional properties owned and personnel to manage and expand the Company's
business).

     Interest expense increased from $28.6 million in 1995 to $29.0 million in
1996.  The average outstanding debt balance was approximately $18.6 million
higher in 1996 due to an increase in acquisition activity during the year;
however, the resulting impact on interest expense was partially offset by lower
interest rates in 1996 on the 1994 Acquisition Facility.

     Depreciation and amortization increased in 1996 over 1995 by $5.8 million
due primarily to the additional depreciation and amortization related to the
properties acquired after December 31, 1994.

     The $6.4 million loss from disposition of interest rate protection
agreement in 1995 resulted from the replacement of the Company's interest rate
protection agreement entered into in connection with the 1994 Mortgage Loan
with new interest rate protection agreements.  Approximately $6.3 million of
the loss is a non-cash loss, representing the difference between the
unamortized cost of the replaced interest rate protection agreement and the
cost of the new interest rate agreements.

     The $4.3 million gain on sales of properties in 1996 resulted from the
sale of three properties located in Huntsville, Alabama, one property located
in Detroit, Michigan, one property located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and one
property located in Atlanta, Georgia.  Gross proceeds for these property sales
totaled approximately $15.0 million.

     The $2.3 million extraordinary loss in 1996 represents the write-off of
unamortized deferred financing costs and a prepayment fee for loans that were
paid off in full and retired in 1996.


COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

     The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 include the
operations of the Contributing Businesses from January 1, 1994 through June 30,
1994 and the operations of the Company from July 1, 1994 through December 31,
1994.

     At December 31, 1995, the Company owned 271 in-service properties
containing approximately 22.6 million square feet of GLA, compared to 246
in-service properties with approximately 19.2 million square feet of GLA at
December 31, 1994.  Acquisitions of 20 properties containing approximately 2.8
million square feet of GLA were made between December 31, 1994 and December 31,
1995.   Also during 1995, the Company completed development of five properties
and expansions of three properties already owned by the Company totaling
approximately .6 million square feet of GLA.

   23


     Revenues increased in 1995 over 1994 by $37.1 million or 53.5% due
primarily to the properties acquired after December 31, 1993.  Revenues from
properties owned prior to January 1, 1994 increased in 1995 over 1994 by $1.2
million or 3.2% due primarily to increased rental rates upon renewal or
replacement of tenant leases and an increase in occupancy of certain properties
located in the Detroit metropolitan area.

     Property expenses, which include real estate taxes, repairs and
maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses,
increased in 1995 over 1994 by $10.4 million or 58.2% due primarily to
properties acquired after December 31, 1993.  For properties owned prior to
January 1, 1994, property expenses increased in 1995 over 1994 by $.2 million
or 1.6% due to general increases in operating expenses, partially offset by a
decrease of real estate taxes for certain properties located in the Detroit
metropolitan area.

     General and administrative expense increased in 1995 over 1994 by $1.2
million due primarily to the additional expenses associated with being a public
company (including directors' fees, director and officer liability insurance,
additional professional fees relating to additional properties and personnel to
manage and expand the Company's business).

     Interest expense increased from $22.4 million in 1994 to $28.6 million in
1995.  The increase reflects higher average debt levels in 1995 related to
acquisition and development activity during the year, and higher average
interest rates in 1995.

     Depreciation and amortization increased in 1995 over 1994 by $7.7 million
due primarily to the additional depreciation and amortization related to the
properties acquired after December 31, 1993.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At December 31, 1996, the Company's unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents totaled $7.7 million and restricted cash totaled $11.8 million. 
Restricted cash includes $9.4 million of reserves required to be set aside for
payments of tenant improvements, capital expenditures, interest, real estate
taxes, insurance and potential environmental costs. The portion of the cash
reserves relating to payments for potential environmental costs was established
at the closing of the 1994 Mortgage Loan.  Such amounts are distributed to the
Company as expenditures are made and are not required to be replenished.  The
portion of cash reserves relating to payments for tenant improvements and
capital expenditures was established at the closings of the 1994 Mortgage Loan
and 1995 Mortgage Loan and such amounts are distributed to the Company as
expenditures are made and are required to be replenished on a monthly basis.
The portion of the cash reserves relating to payments for interest, real estate
taxes and insurance for the 1994 Mortgage Loan and 1995 Mortgage Loan is
established monthly, distributed to the Company as such expenditures are made
and is replenished to a level adequate to make the next periodic payment of
such expenditures.  Of the $11.8 million reserve referred to above, $.5 million
relates to potential environmental costs, which was an amount negotiated with
the lender under the 1994 Mortgage Loan.  In each of 1996 and 1995, the Company
incurred environmental costs of $.1 million. The Company estimates 1997 costs 
of approximately $.4 million. The Company estimates that the aggregate cost 
which may need to be expended in 1997 and beyond with regard to  currently
identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $1.2  million, a
substantial amount of which will be the primary responsibility of  the tenant,
the seller to the Company or another responsible party.  This  estimate was
determined by a third party evaluation.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996 compared to $38.5 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 and $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The increases
are primarily due to increased net operating income as discussed in the
"Results of Operations" above.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $240.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996 compared to $84.2 million and $448.6 million for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. The majority
of the cash used in investing activities was for acquisition of new properties.


                                       22


   24


     Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31,
1996 increased to $176.7 million from $45.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1995, reflecting the issuance of 10.9 million shares of common stock offset
in part by increased distributions to the common stockholders and Unit holders,
dividends to the preferred stockholders and a net pay down on the 1994
Acquisition Facility.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the year
ended December 31, 1995 was $45.4 million, compared to $431.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1994, reflecting primarily debt and equity transactions
relating to the Company's Initial Offering in June 1994 and an increase in
indebtedness due to the properties acquired subsequent to the Initial Offering.

     Funds from operations increased by $19.1 million or 46.1% in 1996 compared
to 1995 and increased by $18.0 million or 77.0% in 1995 compared to 1994 as a
result of the factors discussed in the analysis of operating results above.
Management considers funds from operations to be one financial measure of the
operating performance of an equity REIT that provides a relevant basis for
comparison among REITs and it is presented to assist investors in analyzing the
performance of the Company.  In accordance with the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts' definition of funds from operations, the Company
calculates funds from operations to be equal to net income, excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and interest
rate protection agreements, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures.  Funds from operations does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to
fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends and distributions.  Funds
from operations should not be considered as a substitute for net income as a
measure of results of operations or for cash flow from operating activities
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as a
measure of liquidity. Funds from operations as calculated by the Company may 
not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated measures of 
other REITs.

     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was
1.88 for the year ended Dcember 31, 1996 compared to 1.56 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and 1.34 for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The increases
are primarily due to increased net operating income as discussed in the
"Results of Operations" above.

     In 1996, the Company acquired 112 industrial properties comprising
approximately 10.4 million square feet of GLA for a total purchase price of
approximately $253 million, completed the development of two build-to suit
properties comprising approximately .2 million square feet of GLA at a cost of
approximately $9.0 million and sold properties comprising approximately .4
million square feet of GLA for $15 million.  The acquisitions and developments
were financed in part by proceeds from the February 1996 Equity Offering and
the October 1996 Equity Offering (as such terms are hereinafter defined),
borrowings under the Company's acquisition facilities and by new mortgage debt.

     The Company has committed to the construction of two light industrial and
five bulk warehouse properties totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet.
The estimated total construction costs are approximately $27.4 million.  These
developments are expected to be funded with cash flow from operations as well as
borrowings under the 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility.

     In 1996, the Company and Operating Partnership paid a quarterly
distribution of $.4875 per share/Unit related to each of the first, second and
third quarters.  In addition, the Company and Operating Partnership paid a
fourth quarter 1996 distribution of $.505 per share/Unit on January 20, 1997.
The total distributions paid to the Company's stockholders and the Operating
Partnership's limited partners related to 1996 totaled $54.3 million.

     In 1996, the Company paid a quarterly preferred dividend of $.59375 per
share to its preferred stockholders related to each of the first, second, third
and fourth quarters.  The total preferred dividends paid to the Company's
preferred stockholders related to 1996 totaled $3.9 million.


                                       23


   25


     On February 2, 1996, the Company completed an offering of 5.175 million
shares (inclusive of the underwriters' over-allotment option) of common stock
at a purchase price of $22 per share (the "February 1996 Equity Offering").
The net proceeds of $106.3 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings
totaling $59.4 million and fund acquisitions closed subsequently in the first
quarter of 1996.

     On October 25, 1996, the Company completed an offering of 5.75 million
shares (inclusive of the underwriters' over-allotment option) of common stock
at a purchase price of $25.50 per share (the "October 1996 Equity Offering").
The net proceeds of $137.7 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings
totaling $84.2 million and to fund acquisitions closed in the fourth quarter of
1996.

     On July 1, 1995, the Company effectively fixed the interest rate on its
$300 million 1994 Mortgage Loan at 6.97% for a term of six years beginning July
1, 1995 and ending June 30, 2001.  The Company accomplished this by entering
into interest rate protection agreements for a notional value of $300 million.
The interest rate protection agreements require the Company to pay monthly to 
the counterparty a fixed interest rate which effectively fixes the interest 
rate on the 1994 Mortgage Loan at 6.97%.  The Company will continue to use 
interest rate protection agreements to hedge interest rate risk where 
appropriate.

     On March 20, 1996, the Company, through the Operating Partnership and the
Indianapolis Partnership, entered into the $36.7 million CIGNA Loan that is
collateralized by seven properties in Indianapolis, Indiana and three
properties in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The CIGNA Loan bears interest at a fixed
interest rate of 7.5% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments
based on a 25-year amortization schedule.  The CIGNA Loan will mature on April
1, 2003.  The CIGNA Loan may be prepaid only after April 30, 1999, in exchange
for the greater of a 1% premium or a yield maintenance premium.

     On March 20, 1996, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, assumed
an approximately $6.4 million mortgage loan and an approximately $3.0 million
mortgage loan (together, the "Assumed Loans") that are collateralized by 13
properties in Indianapolis, Indiana and one property in Indianapolis, Indiana,
respectively.  The Assumed Loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.25% and
provide for monthly principal and interest payments based on a 16.75-year
amortization schedule.  The Assumed Loans will mature on January 1, 2013.  The
Assumed Loans may be prepaid only after December 22, 1999, in exchange for the
greater of a 1% premium or a yield maintenance premium.

     In 1997, the Company obtained investment grade ratings on its senior
unsecured debt and its preferred stock from Moody's Investors Service, Standard
& Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. and Fitch Investors Service, Inc.

     In December 1996, the Company terminated its $150 million 1994 Acquisition
Facility and entered into a $200 million 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility.
Borrowings under the 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility will be used to
finance the acquisitions and development of additional properties and for other
corporate purposes, including to obtain working capital.  It is the Company's
intent to, from time to time, replace borrowings under the 1996 Unsecured
Acquisition Facility with long term sources of capital as the Company deems
appropriate.

     The Company has considered its short-term (one year or less) liquidity
needs and the adequacy of its estimated cash flow from operations and other
expected liquidity sources to meet these needs.  The Company believes that its
principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses,
debt service requirements and the minimum distribution required to maintain the
Company's REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company
anticipates that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating
activities.


                                       24


   26


     The Company expects to meet long-term (greater than one year) liquidity
requirements such as property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, major
renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through
long-term unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity
securities.  The Company may finance the acquisition or development of
additional properties through borrowings under the 1996 Unsecured Acquisition
Facility.  At December 31, 1996, borrowings under the 1996 Unsecured
Acquisition Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of
8.25%.  The borrowings under the 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility were
converted to an interest rate of 6.6% on January 7, 1997.  As of March 20,
1997, the Company had $68.1 million available in additional borrowings under
the 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility.  While the Company may sell properties
if property or market conditions make it desirable, the Company does not expect
to sell assets in the foreseeable future to satisfy its liquidity requirements.


     OTHER

     In February of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 128 (FAS 128), "Earnings per Share,
"effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997.  The
Company intends to adopt FAS 128 in fiscal year 1997.  The Company has not
determined the financial impact of FAS 128.


     INFLATION

     For the last several years, inflation has not had a significant impact on
the Company because of the relatively low inflation rates in the Company's
markets of operation.  Most of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay
their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real
estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.  In
addition, many of the outstanding leases expire within five years which may
enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base
rentals if rents of existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
     First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.


     We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedule of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") and
the combined financial statements of the Contributing Businesses as listed on
page F-1 of this Form 10-K.  These financial statements and the financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First
Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the period July 1, 1994 through
December 31, 1994 and of the Contributing Businesses for the period January 1,
1994 through June 30, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be included therein.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF COMPANY

     First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in the
state of Maryland on August 10, 1993.  The Company is a real estate investment
trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company is
continuing and expanding the Midwestern industrial property business of The
Shidler Group and the properties and businesses contributed by three other
contributing businesses (the "Contributing Businesses"). The Company's
operations are conducted primarily through First Industrial, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership") of which the Company is the sole general partner.  As
of December 31, 1996, the Company owned 379 in-service properties located in 14
states, containing an aggregate of approximately 32.7 million square feet
(unaudited) of gross leasable area.  Of the 379 properties owned by the
Company, 195 are held by First Industrial Financing Partnership, L.P. (the
"Financing Partnership"), 141 are held by the Operating Partnership or the
Operating Partnership's Pennsylvania subsidiaries, 19 are held by First
Industrial Securities, L.P. (the "Securities Partnership"), 23 are held by
First Industrial Mortgage Partnership, L.P. (the "Mortgage Partnership") and 1
is held by First Industrial Indianapolis, L.P. (the "Indianapolis
Partnership").

     On June 30, 1994, the Company completed its initial public offering of
15,175,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock (the "Initial Offering") and,
in July 1994, issued an additional 1,400,000 shares pursuant to an
over-allotment option.  The price per share in the Initial Offering and the
over-allotment option was $23.50, resulting in gross offering proceeds of
approximately $389,512.  Net of underwriters' discount and total offering
expenses, the Company received approximately $355,217 in proceeds from the
Initial Offering and the over-allotment option.  On June 30, 1994, the Company
(through the Financing Partnership) borrowed $300,000 (the "1994 Mortgage
Loan") from an institutional lender.  The net proceeds from the Initial
Offering and the 1994 Mortgage Loan were used primarily to acquire properties,
repay indebtedness and pay certain fees and expenses.  The Company began
operations on July 1, 1994.


2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership, with an approximate 92.4% ownership interest at December
31, 1996.  First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole stockholder of First
Industrial Finance Corporation, First Industrial Securities Corporation, First
Industrial Mortgage Corporation and First Industrial Indianapolis Corporation,
which are the sole general partners of the Financing Partnership, the
Securities Partnership,  the Mortgage Partnership and the Indianapolis
Partnership, respectively.  The Operating Partnership is the sole limited
partner of the Financing Partnership, the Securities Partnership, the Mortgage
Partnership and the Indianapolis Partnership. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the six months ended December 31, 1994 include
the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The Statement of Operations, Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity
and Net Deficit and Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30,
1994 reflect the operations, equity and deficit, and cash flows of the
properties and business contributed by The Shidler Group and the properties and
businesses contributed by three other contributing businesses (the "Other
Contributing Businesses" and, together with the foregoing entities, the
"Contributing Businesses") at or prior to the consummation of the Initial
Offering.

     Purchase accounting has been applied when ownership interests in
properties were acquired for cash.  The historical cost basis of properties has
been carried over when the Contributing Businesses' (defined below) ownership
interests were exchanged for Operating Partnership units and purchase
accounting has been used for all other properties that were acquired for
Operating Partnership units.

     Minority interest in the Company at December 31, 1996 represents the
approximately 7.6% aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership
held by the limited partners thereof.

3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles,
management, in preparation of the Company's financial statements, is required
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the six months ended
December 31, 1994 and June 30, 1994.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Revenue Recognition:

     Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which
contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term.  Tenant
recovery income includes payments from tenants for taxes, insurance and other
property operating expenses and is recognized as revenues in the same period
the related expenses are incurred by the Company.

     The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the
portion of tenant accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible.
Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $600 and $500 as of December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively.

     Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation:

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Real estate assets are
carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value as determined by the
Company.  The Company reviews its properties on a quarterly basis for
impairment and provides a provision if impairments are determined.  First, to
determine if impairment may exist, the Company reviews its properties and
identifies those which have had either an event of change or event of
circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability.  Then, the
Company estimates the fair value of those properties on an individual basis by
capitalizing the expected net operating income and discounting the expected
cash flows of the properties.  Such amounts are then compared to the property's
depreciated cost to determine whether an impairment exists.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE DATA)


     Interest expense, real estate taxes and other directly related expenses
incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing
with the date placed in service, on the same basis as the related assets.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the
following useful lives:




                                                 Years
                                                 -----
                                             
Buildings and Improvements...............        31.5 to 40
Land Improvements........................        15
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment........        5 to 10
                                 


     Construction expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions
are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.  Expenditures for
improvements are capitalized.

     When assets are sold or retired, their costs and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts with the resulting gains or losses
reflected in net income or loss.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an
initial maturity of three months or less.  The carrying amount approximates
fair value due to the short maturity of these investments.

     Income Taxes:

     Prior to the consummation of the Initial Offering, the Contributing
Businesses' operations were conducted through a number of partnerships.  In
accordance with partnership taxation, each of the partners are responsible for
reporting their shares of taxable income or loss.  Accordingly, no provision
has been made in the accompanying combined financial statements for federal,
state or local income taxes for periods prior to the consummation of the
Initial Offering.

     The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through
860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  As a
result, the Company generally is not subject to federal income taxation at the
corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its stockholders and satisfies
certain other requirements.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for
federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to certain state
and local income, excise and franchise taxes.  The provision for such state and
local taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the
consolidated statement of operations and has not been separately stated due to
its insignificance.

     For federal income tax purposes, the cash distributions paid to
stockholders may be characterized as ordinary income, return of capital
(generally non-taxable) or capital gains.  Distributions paid for the year
ended December 31, 1996 totaling $50.4 million are characterized 65.97% ($1.30
per share) as ordinary income and 34.03% ($.67 per share) as return of capital.
Distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaling $36.0 million
are characterized 40.17% ($.765 per share) as ordinary income and 59.83%
($1.140 per share) as return of capital.  Distributions paid for the six months
ended December 31, 1994 totaling $17.8 million are characterized 60.03% ($.567
per share) as ordinary income and 39.97% ($.378 per share) as return of
capital.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

     The Company's financial instruments include short-term investments, tenant
accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage loans
payable, acquisition facilities payable and promissory notes payable.  The fair
values of these financial instruments were not materially different from their
carrying or contract values.  The Company's financial instruments also include
interest rate protection agreements (see Note 4).

     Derivative Financial Instruments:

     The Company's interest rate protection agreements (the "Agreements")
are  used to hedge the interest rate on the Company's $300 million mortgage
loan.  As such, receipts or payments resulting from the Agreements are
recognized as  adjustments to interest expense.  The credit risks associated
with the  Agreements are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of
the creditworthiness of the counterparty.  In the event that the counterparty
fails to meet the terms of the Agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to
the current value of the interest rate differential, not the notional amount,
and the Company's carrying value of the Agreements on the balance sheet.  The 
Agreements have been executed with a creditworthy financial institution.  As 
such, the Company considers the risk of nonperformance to be remote.  In the 
event that the Company terminates the Agreements, the Company would recognize
a gain (loss) from the disposition of Agreements equal to the amount of cash
received or paid at termination less the carrying value of the Agreements on
the Company's balance sheet.

     Deferred Financing Costs:

     Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain
long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of
the respective loans.  Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was
$4,549 and $3,593 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Unamortized
deferred financing fees are written-off when debt is retired before the
maturity date (see Note 11).

     Earnings Per Common Share:

     Net income per share amounts are based on the weighted average of common
and common stock equivalent (stock options) shares outstanding.

     In February of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 128 (FAS 128), "Earnings per Share,
"effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 1997.  The
Company intends to adopt FAS 128 in fiscal year 1997.  The Company has not
determined the financial impact of FAS 128.

4.   MORTGAGE LOANS, ACQUISITION FACILITIES, CONSTRUCTION LOANS AND PROMISSORY
     NOTES PAYABLE

     Mortgage Loans:

     Concurrent with the Initial Offering, the Company (through the Financing
Partnership) borrowed $300,000 under a mortgage loan (the "1994 Mortgage
Loan").  The 1994 Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized by, among other things,
first mortgage liens on the 195 properties owned by the Financing Partnership.
The 1994 Mortgage Loan will mature on June 30, 1999, unless extended by the
Company, subject to certain conditions, for an additional two-year period,
thereby maturing on June 30, 2001.  The Operating Partnership has guaranteed
certain obligations of the Financing Partnership under the 1994 Mortgage Loan.
The 1994 Mortgage Loan provides for interest only payments which have been
effectively fixed at a rate of 6.97% through June 30, 2001 by certain interest
rate protection agreements.  Interest payable related to the 1994 Mortgage Loan
was $1,750 and $1,905 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Payments to
(from) the Company under the interest rate protection agreements during 1996,
1995 and 1994 totaled $(309), $584 and $51, respectively, which have been
included as a component of interest expense.

     In conjunction with obtaining the 1994 Mortgage Loan, the Company
purchased an interest rate protection agreement which effectively limited the
interest rate during the initial five-year term of the 1994 Mortgage Loan to
7.2% per annum.  Prior to the subsequent replacement of this interest rate
protection agreement, its cost of $18,450 had been capitalized and was being
amortized over the five-year term of the agreement.

     Effective July 1, 1995, the Company replaced such interest rate protection
agreement with new interest rate protection agreements and entered into
interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $300 million, which
together effectively fix the annual interest rate on the 1994 Mortgage Loan at
6.97% for six years through June 30, 2001.  As a result of the replacement of
the interest rate protection agreement, the Company incurred a one-time loss of
$6.4 million, of which $6.3 million represents the difference between the
unamortized cost of the replaced interest rate protection agreement and the
cost of the new agreements.  In the event that the Company does not exercise
the two-year option to extend the 1994 Mortgage Loan, the risk associated with
the interest rate protection agreements is that the Company would be obligated
to perform its obligations under the terms or would either pay or receive cash
to terminate the agreement.  In either event, the impact of such transaction
would be reflected in the Company's financial statements.  The costs of the new
interest rate protection agreements have been capitalized and are being
amortized over the respective terms of the agreements.  Under the terms of the
new interest rate protection agreements, certain collateral may be required to
be set aside for amounts that could become due under the agreements.  At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, cash collateral of $0 and $2,557, respectively, was
included in restricted cash.  Accumulated amortization on the interest rate
protection agreements was $223 and $60 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

     At December 31, 1996, the fair market value of the interest rate
protection agreements was approximately $8.0 million, which was less than the
$8.4 million net book value by approximately $.4 million.  The fair market
value of the interest rate protection agreements was $10.9 million (unaudited)
on March 13, 1997, which exceeded the $8.4 million net book value on December
31, 1996 by approximately $2.5 million (unaudited).  The fair market value was

     Under the terms of the 1994 Mortgage Loan, certain cash reserves are
required to be and have been set aside for payment of tenant improvements,
capital expenditures, interest, real estate taxes, insurance and potential
environmental costs. The amount of cash reserves for payment of potential
environmental costs was determined by the lender and was established at the
closing of the 1994 Mortgage Loan.  The amounts included in the cash reserves
relating to payments of tenant improvements, capital expenditures, interest,
real estate taxes and insurance were determined by the lender and approximate
the next periodic payment of such items.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, these
reserves totaled $10,223 and $8,552, respectively, and are included in
Restricted Cash.  Such cash reserves were invested in a money market fund at
December 31, 1996.  The maturity of these investments is one day;accordingly,
cost approximates fair market value.

     On December 29, 1995, the Mortgage Partnership borrowed $40,200 under a
mortgage loan (the "1995 Mortgage Loan").  In the first quarter of 1996, the
Company made a one time paydown of $200 on the 1995 Mortgage Loan decreasing
the outstanding balance to $40,000.  The 1995 Mortgage Loan matures on January
11, 2026 and provides for interest only payments through January 11, 1998,
after which monthly principal and interest payments are required based on a
28-year amortization schedule.  The interest rate under the 1995 Mortgage Loan
is fixed at 7.22% per annum through January 11, 2003.  After January 11, 2003,
the interest rate adjusts through a predetermined formula based on the
applicable Treasury rate.  Interest payable related to the 1995 Mortgage Loan
was $168 and $24 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The 1995
Mortgage Loan is collateralized by 23 properties held by the Mortgage
Partnership.

     Under the terms of the 1995 Mortgage Loan, certain cash reserves are
required to be and have been set aside for payments of security deposits,
capital expenditures, interest, real estate taxes and insurance.  The amount of
cash reserves segregated for security deposits is adjusted as tenants turn
over. The amounts included in the cash reserves relating to payments of capital
expenditures, interest, real estate taxes and insurance were determined by the
lender and approximate the next periodic payment of such items.  At December
31, 1996 and 1995, these reserves totaled $1,614 and $388, respectively, and
are included in Restricted Cash.  Such cash reserves were invested in a money
market fund at December 31, 1996. The maturity of these investments is one
day;accordingly, cost approximates fair market value.

     On December 14, 1995, the Company, through First Industrial Harrisburg,
L.P., entered into a $6,650 mortgage loan (the "Harrisburg Mortgage Loan") that

Harrisburg Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.5% or
prime plus 2.25%, at the Company's option, and provides for interest only
payments through May 31, 1996, with monthly principal and interest payments
required subsequently based on a 26.5-year amortization schedule.  At December
31, 1996, the interest rate was 6.875%.  The Harrisburg Mortgage Loan will
mature on December 15, 2000.  The outstanding mortgage loan balance at December

     Acquisition Facilities:

     In connection with the Initial Offering, the Operating Partnership entered
into a three-year, $100,000 collateralized revolving credit facility (the "1994
Acquisition Facility").  During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the capacity
of the 1994 Acquisition Facility was increased to $150,000.  The Operating
Partnership could borrow under the facility to finance the acquisition of
additional properties and for other corporate purposes, including to obtain
additional working capital.  The Company had guaranteed repayment of the 1994
Acquisition Facility.  Borrowings under the 1994 Acquisition Facility bore
interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% or a "Corporate Base Rate"
plus .5%, at the Company's election.  Effective July 12, 1996, the lenders
reduced the interest rate to LIBOR plus 1.75%.  Under the 1994 Acquisition
Facility, LIBOR contracts were entered into by the Company as draws were made.
Interest payable related to the 1994 Acquisition Facility was $488 at December

Acquisition Facility (see Note 11) and entered into a $200 million unsecured
revolving credit facility (the "1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility") which
initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.10% or a "Corporate Base Rate" plus
 .5% and provides for interest only payments until the maturity date.  At
December 31, 1996, borrowings under the 1996 Acquisition Facility bore interest
at a weighted average interest rate of 8.25%.  The borrowings under the 1996
Unsecured Acquisition Facility were converted to an interest rate of 6.6% on
January 7, 1997.  The Operating Partnership may borrow under the facility to
finance the acquisition of additional properties and for other corporate
purposes, including to obtain additional working capital.  The 1996 Unsecured
Acquisition Facility matures in April 2000.  Borrowings under the 1996
Unsecured Acquisition Facility at December 31, 1996 were $4,400.  Interest
payable related to the 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility was $3 at December
31, 1996.  The 1996 Unsecured Acquisition Facility contains certain financial
covenants relating to debt service coverage, market value net worth, dividend
payout ratio and total funded indebtedness.

     In December 1995, the Operating Partnership entered into a $24,219
collateralized revolving credit facility (the "1995 Acquisition Facility"). The
1995 Acquisition Facility was paid off in full and retired in February 1996

collateralized revolving credit facility (the "1996 Credit Line").  The 1996
Credit Line was collateralized by three properties held by the Operating
Partnership.  The Company had guaranteed repayment of the 1996 Credit Line.
Borrowings under the 1996 Credit Line bore interest at a floating rate from
LIBOR plus 2.45% to LIBOR plus 2.75%, depending on the term of the interest
rate option.  The 1996 Credit Line would have matured on December 14, 1998.

5.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Common Stock:

     On February 2, 1996, the Company issued 5,175,000 shares of $.01 par value
common stock (the "February 1996 Equity Offering") inclusive of the
underwriters' over-allotment option.  The price per share in the February 1996
Equity Offering was $22, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $113,850.  Net
of underwriters' discount and total offering expenses, the Company received
approximately $106,343.  The net proceeds from the February 1996 Equity
Offering were used to pay down the 1994 Acquisition Facility,  the 1995
Acquisition Facility and the Construction Loans and fund properties 
subsequently acquired.

     On October 25, 1996, the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of $.01 par value
common stock (the "October 1996 Equity Offering") inclusive of the
underwriters' over-allotment option.  The price per share in the October 1996
Equity Offering was $25.50, resulting in gross offering proceeds of $146,625.
Net of underwriters' discount and total offering expenses, the Company received
approximately $137,697.  The net proceeds from the October 1996 Equity Offering
were used to pay down the 1994 Acquisition Facility and the 1996 Acquisition
Facility and fund properties subsequently acquired.

     Preferred Stock:

     In 1995, the Company issued 1.65 million shares of 9.5% Series A
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a purchase price
of $25 per share, and used the $41,250 of gross proceeds to pay down debt
outstanding under the 1994 Acquisition Facility.  Dividends on the Series A
Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are
payable quarterly.  The payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up ranks senior to the payments on the Company's common
stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to November 17,
2000.  On or after November 17, 2000, the Series A Preferred Stock is
redeemable for cash at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at
$25.00 per share, or $41,250 in the aggregate, plus dividends accrued and
unpaid to the redemption date.  The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated
maturity and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company.

     The payment of dividends on, and payments on liquidation or redemption of,
the Series A Preferred Stock are guaranteed by the Securities Partnership (the
"Guarantor") pursuant to a Guarantee and Payment Agreement (the "Guarantee
Agreement").  The Series A Preferred Stock is the only class of securities of
the Company which has the benefit of such guarantee.  To the extent the Company
fails to make any payment of dividend or pay any portion of the liquidation
preference on or the redemption price of any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay an amount to each holder of
Series A Preferred Stock equal to any such shortfall.


6.   SALES OF REAL ESTATE

     In 1996, the Operating Partnership sold a property located in suburban
Detroit, Michigan, three properties located in Huntsville, Alabama, one

7.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company leases office space in Chicago, Illinois from an affiliate of
The Shidler Group at an aggregate annual cost of approximately $131.

     On December 5, 1994, the Company purchased for approximately $.9 million,
five acres of land from a partnership in which an officer and director of the
Company owns approximately a 2.5% general partner interest.

President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director in 1996.


8.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The Company maintains a Stock Incentive Plan which is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Only officers and other key
employees of the Company and its affiliates generally are eligible to
participate in the Stock Incentive Plan.  However, independent Directors of the
Company receive automatic annual grants of options to purchase 7,500 shares at
a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share on the
date of grant.

     The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes (i) the grant of stock options that
qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, (ii) the
grant of stock options that do not so qualify, (iii) restricted stock awards,
(iv) performance share awards and (v) dividend equivalent rights.  The exercise
price of stock options will be determined by the Compensation Committee, but
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of
grant.  Special provisions apply to awards granted under the Stock Incentive
Plan in the event of a change in control in the Company.  The Company has
reserved 1,200,000 shares for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan.  Options
covering 90,500 shares are available for future grants.  The outstanding stock
options generally vest over one to two year periods and have lives of ten
years.  Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its Stock
Incentive Plan.  Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in
the consolidated statements of operations.  Had compensation cost for the
Company's Stock Incentive Plan been determined based upon the fair value at the
grant date for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan consistent with the
methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," net income and earnings per share
would have been the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below (in
millions, except per share amounts):

     In September 1994, the Board of Directors approved and the Company adopted
a 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan. Under the Company's 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan,
all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions.  The
Company may make, but is not required to make, matching contributions.  For the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company did not make any matching
contributions.  In March 1996, the Board of Directors approved and the Company
adopted a Deferred Income Plan (the "Plan").  Under the Plan, 138,500 unit
awards were granted, providing the recipients with deferred income benefits
which vest in three equal annual installments.  The expense related to these
deferred income benefits is included in general and administrative expenses in
the consolidated statements of operations.  In the first quarter of 1997,
approximately $141 was paid to the recipients under the Plan.

     The Company's properties are leased to tenants under net and semi-net
operating leases.  Minimum lease payments receivable, excluding tenant
reimbursements of expenses, under noncancelable operating leases in effect as

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in legal actions
arising from the ownership of its properties.  In management's opinion, the
liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not
expected to have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, operations or liquidity of the Company.

     Twenty-five properties have leases granting the tenants options to
purchase the property.  Such options are exercisable at various times and at
appraised fair market value or at a fixed purchase price generally in excess of
the Company's purchase price.  The Company has no notice of any exercise of any
tenant purchase option.

     The Company has committed to the construction of two light industrial and
five bulk warehouse properties totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet
(unaudited).  The estimated total construction costs are approximately $27.4
million (unaudited).  The Company is not acting as the general contractor for
these construction projects.
