1. Organization and Basis of Presentation: 

   Organization 
    Beacon Properties Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on March 
4, 1994 as a Maryland Corporation, and commenced operations effective with 
the completion of its Initial Offering (the "IPO") on May 26, 1994. The 
Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company was formed to continue and 
expand the commercial real estate development, construction, acquisition, 
leasing, design and management businesses of The Beacon Group (the 
"Predecessor"). 

    In March 1996, the Company sold 7,036,000 shares of common stock, $.01 
par value, to the public at $26.25 per share. The proceeds of the offering, 
net of offering costs, were approximately $173.8 million. The Company 
contributed the net proceeds of the additional offering to Beacon Properties, 
L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") in exchange for 7,036,000 units. 

   Basis of Presentation 
    The financial statements of the Company are consolidated and include all 
the accounts of the Company, its majority owned Operating Partnership and 
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have 
been eliminated. 

    The accompanying financial statements are unaudited; however, they have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do 
not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for 
a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods 
have been included. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal 
year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
December 31, 1995 audited financial statements and notes thereto of the 
Company, included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 1995. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously 
reported amounts to conform with current reporting. 

2. Equity Investments in Real Estate: 

   The Company reports its share of income and losses based on its ownership 
interest in the respective equity investments. Losses in excess of 
investments are not recorded where the Company has not guaranteed nor intends 
to provide any future financial support. The following summarized information 
has been presented for the property joint ventures and property corporations 
for which the Company has recorded its share of the earnings for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996.

3. Mortgage Notes Payable: 

    On January 9, 1996, the Company closed on a $55 million, 7.23% mortgage 
loan with a 7 year term, and used the net proceeds to pay down the Credit 
Facility. The collateral for the mortgage loan is the Wellesley Office Park, 
Buildings 1-8. 

    On February 12, 1996, the Company closed on a $60 million, 7.23% mortgage 
loan with a 7 year term, and used the net proceeds to pay down the Credit 
Facility. The collateral for the mortgage loan is the Center Plaza property. 

    On February 15, 1996, the Company financed the acquisition of Perimeter 
Center, in part, through a $260 million loan from PaineWebber Real Estate 
Securities Inc. (the "PaineWebber Acquisition Loan"). In March 1996, the 
Company repaid the PaineWebber Acquisition Loan using proceeds from the March 
1996 offering and a $218 million loan provided by Metropolitan Life Insurance 
Company (the "MetLife Mortgage Loan"). The MetLife Mortgage Loan bears 
interest at 7.08% with a term of 10 years. 

    An extraordinary item of $1.8 million, net of minority interest, was 
recorded in connection with the write-off of fees and costs to acquire the 
PaineWebber Acquisition Loan which was repaid in March 1996 approximately 
three years prior to its maturity.

4. Note Payable, Credit Facility: 

    In June 1996, the Company substantially modified the terms of the Credit 
Facility. Additionally, in July 1996, the maximum loan amount available under 
the Credit Facility was increased to $300 million. The new Credit Facility 
matures in June 1999. Outstanding balances under the Credit Facility bear 
interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) the higher of (x) Bank of 
Boston's base interest rate and (y) one-half of one percent (1/2%) above the 
overnight federal funds effective rate or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus 175 
basis points. The Company has an interest rate protection agreement through 
May 1997 with Bank of Boston with respect to $135 million of the Credit 
Facility, which provides for offsetting payments to the Company in the event 
that 90-day LIBOR exceeds 9.47% per annum. Effective May 1997 through May 
1999, the Company has an interest rate protection agreement with Bank of 
Boston with respect to $137.5 million of the Credit Facility, which provides 
for offsetting payments to the Company in the event that 90-day LIBOR exceeds 
8.75% per annum. 

    As a result of the substantial modification of the terms of the Credit 
Facility, the Company recorded an extraordinary item of $1.5 million, net of 
minority interest, in connection with write-off of fees and costs to acquire 
the old Credit Facility. 

5. Commitments and Contingencies: 

    In June 1996, the Company exercised an option to acquire a portfolio of 
three office buildings and a parcel of land located in Fairfax County, 
Virginia (the "Fairfax County Portfolio") for $77 million. The purchase of 
the portfolio is subject to due diligence and certain other conditions. 

    In July 1996, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to 
acquire the New York Life Portfolio located in suburban Chicago, Illinois for 
$150 million. The purchase of the portfolio is subject to due diligence and 
certain other conditions. 

6. Pro Forma Results (unaudited): 

    The following unaudited pro forma operating results for the Company have 
been prepared as if the 1995 and 1996 stock offerings and the 1995 and 1996

    On July 23, 1996, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to its Form 
S-3 Registration Statement (No. 333-02544) with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission pursuant to which it proposes to offer 5,000,000 shares of common 
stock (excluding the underwriters' over-allotment option).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
        Results of Operations. 

    This form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993 and Section 21E of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ materially 
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that 
might cause such a difference include the following: Real estate investment 
considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in the 
market area on cash flows and values, the need to renew leases or relet space 
upon the expiration of current leases, and the ability of a property to 
generate revenues sufficient to meet debt service payments and other 
operating expenses; and risks associated with borrowing, such as the 
possibility that the Company will not have sufficient funds available to make 
principal payments on outstanding debt, outstanding debt may be refinanced at 
higher interest rates or otherwise on terms less favorable to the Company and 
interest rates under the Credit Facility may increase. 

    The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and 
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying 
financial statements and notes thereto. 

Results of Operations 

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 

    Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $7.6 and 
$12.5 million, respectively, compared with net income of $4.2 and $7.2 
million for the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase in net income was 
primarily the result of the operating results contributed by the properties 
and interests in properties acquired throughout 1995 and 1996 partially 
offset by extraordinary items recorded in 1996. 

    The Company's proportionate share of weighted average square feet of 
office properties increased by 85% from 4.0 million square feet for the six 
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 7.4 million square feet for the 
corresponding period in 1996. The Company recorded extraordinary items 
totaling $3.3 million, net of minority interest, in 1996. An extraordinary 
item of $1.8 million, net of minority interest, was recorded in connection 
with the write-off of fees and costs to acquire the PaineWebber Acquisition 
Loan which was repaid in March 1996 approximately three years prior to its 
maturity. An extraordinary item of $1.5 million, net of minority interest, 
was recorded in connection with write-off of fees and costs to acquire the 
old Credit Facility which was substantially modified in June 1996. 

    Rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $33.1 
and $60.1 million, respectively, compared to $17.4 and $34.1 million for the 
corresponding periods in 1995. The properties acquired in 1995 100 William 
Street, Westlakes Two, 2 Oliver -147 Milk Street and Ten Canal Park (the 
"1995 Acquisitions") and Perimeter Center, acquired in February 1996, 
contributed $15.4 and $24.4 million of this increase for the three and six 
month periods, respectively. The remaining balance was attributable to an 
increase in occupancy and rental rates as well as the re-leasing of the 
Crosby Corporate Center as part of the redevelopment of the property. 

    The impact of the straight-line adjustment increased consolidated rental 
income for the Company $2.6 million and $1.6 million and increased its share 
of equity in net income of property joint ventures and corporations by $0.1 
million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively. 

    Management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were 
$0.8 and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 and $0.9 million for 
the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase in both periods was primarily 
the result of the management contract for 75-101 Federal Street, a property 
in which the Company purchased an approximate 52% interest in September 1995. 

    Recoveries from tenants for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 
were $3.5 and $6.8 million, respectively, compared to $2.2 and $4.8 million 
for the corresponding periods in 1995. The 1995 Acquisitions and Perimeter 
Center contributed $0.8 and $1.4 million of this increase for the three and 
six month periods, respectively. The remaining balance of the increase for 
both periods was primarily due to an increase in reimbursable operating 
expenses.

was $1.2 and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.6 million for both
corresponding periods in 1995. The increase is the result of the acquisition of
the remaining portions of the Rowes Wharf debt from July 1995 through June 1996.

    Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $2.8 
and $4.6 million, respectively, compared to $1.4 and $2.5 million for the 
corresponding periods in 1995. The 1995 Acquisitions and Perimeter Center 
accounted for $1.0 and $1.5 million of the increase for the three and six 
months periods, respectively. The remaining balance of the increase for both 
periods was primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on the 
excess proceeds from the March 1996 offering. 

    Property expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was 
$7.9 and $14.8 million, respectively, compared to $4.3 and $8.5 million for 
the corresponding periods in 1995. The 1995 Acquisitions and Perimeter Center 
accounted for $3.5 million and $5.5 million of the increase for the three and 
six month periods, respectively. The remaining balance of the increase is 
primarily due to an increase in seasonal costs associated with the winter of 
1996 as well as an increase in building operating costs as a result of 
increased occupancy at the properties. 

    Real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was 
$4.3 and $7.8 million, respectively, compared to $2.5 and $4.9 million for 
the corresponding periods in 1995. The 1995 Acquisitions and Perimeter Center 
accounted for $1.7 million and $2.8 million of the increase for the three and 
six month periods, respectively. 

    General and administrative expenses, which includes costs incurred at the 
properties, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were $3.8 and 
$7.4 million, respectively, compared to $2.3 and $4.6 million for the 
corresponding periods in 1995. General and administrative expenses as a 
percentage of total revenue decreased from 10.7% to 9.9% from 1995 to 1996. 
The 1995 Acquisitions and Perimeter Center accounted for $1.1 million and 
$1.7 million of the increase for the three and six month periods, 
respectively. The remaining balance of the increase was primarily due to an 
increase in management and administration costs associated with the growth in 
the Company's portfolio of properties. 

    Mortgage interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 
1996 was $7.3 and $13.7 million, respectively, compared to $3.6 and $8.0 
million for the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase in both periods 
was primarily the result of debt incurred in connection with the acquisition 
of Perimeter Center. 

    Interest--amortization of financing costs for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1996 was $0.6 and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.3 
and $0.6 million for the corresponding periods in 1995. The increase in both 
periods was primarily the result of the amortization of financing costs 
associated with the Credit Facility, the mortgage debt on Wellesley Buildings 
1-8, Center Plaza and Perimeter Center. 

    Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 
1996 was $7.5 and $13.3 million, respectively, compared to $4.5 and $8.3 
million for the corresponding periods in 1995. The 1995 Acquisitions and 
Perimeter Center accounted for $3.0 million and $4.8 million of the increase 
for the three and six month periods, respectively. 

    Equity in net income of joint ventures and corporations for the three and 
six months ended June 30, 1996 was $0.6 and $1.6 million, respectively, 
compared to $0.5 and $1.1 million for the corresponding periods in 1995. The 
increase in both periods was primarily the result of the acquisition of the 
equity investment in 75-101 Federal Street in September 1995 offset by equity 
in net loss from Beacon Construction Company, Inc.. 

    The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the portion 
of the Operating Partnership which is not owned by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

    Cash and cash equivalents were $32.9 million at June 30, 1996 compared to 
$4.5 million at December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily the result of 
proceeds from the March 1996 offering in excess of the equity requirements 
for Perimeter Center offset by the acquisition of the Rowes Wharf debt and 
the redevelopment of the Crosby Corporate Center. 

Investing Activities 

    On February 15, 1996, the Company acquired a 3.3 million square foot, 32 
building portfolio in suburban Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $336 
million. 

    During the second quarter of 1996, the Company and Prime Property Fund, 
the Company's partner in Rowes Wharf, acquired the remaining portion of the 
property's mortgage debt that had been held by a bank lending group. 

Financing Activities 

    On January 9, 1996, the Company closed on a $55 million mortgage loan, 
and used the net proceeds to pay down the Credit Facility. The collateral for 
the mortgage loan is the Wellesley Office Park, Buildings 1-8. 

    On February 9, 1996, the Company closed on a $60 million mortgage loan, 
and used the net proceeds to pay down the Credit Facility. The collateral for 
the mortgage loan is the Center Plaza property. 

    On February 15, 1996, the Company acquired Perimeter Center using the 
$260 million PaineWebber Acquisition Loan, the issuance of approximately 
$13.8 million of Units in the Operating Partnership with the balance funded 
from the Credit Facility.

                                 PART I--ITEM 2
                                     ______

    In March 1996, the Company sold 7,036,000 shares of common stock, $.01 
par value, to the public at $26.25 per share. The proceeds of the offering, 
net of offering costs, were approximately $173.8 million. The net proceeds of 
the offering were used to repay a portion of the PaineWebber Acquisition 
Loan. 
 
    On March 15, 1996, the Company closed on the $218 million MetLife Mortgage
Loan. The proceeds of the MetLife Mortgage Loan were used to repay the remaining
portion of the PaineWebber Acquisition Loan and the outstanding balance of the
Credit Facility.

   The Company declared a dividend of $.4625 per common share payable on 
August 23, 1996 to stockholders of record on August 14, 1996. 

Capitalization 

    At June 30, 1996, the Company's total consolidated debt was approximately 
$403.2 million, and its total consolidated debt plus its proportionate share 
of total unconsolidated debt (other than the Rowes Wharf property debt) was 
approximately $496.6 million. The Company's current outstanding consolidated 
debt consists of approximately $403.2 million of fixed rate mortgage 
indebtedness with an weighted average rate of 7.09%, collateralized by 
properties owned 100% by the Company. The Company's proportionate share of 
its current total unconsolidated debt (excluding the Rowes Wharf property 
debt) consists of approximately $47.0 million on the One Post Office Square 
Property (in which the Company has a 50% general partner interest) and 
approximately $46.4 million on the 75-101 Federal Street property (in which 
the Company owns approximately 52% of the common stock of a private REIT that 
owns the property).The weighted average rate of the Company's unconsolidated 
debt is 7.47%. The weighted average rate of the Company's consolidated and 
unconsolidated debt is 7.17%. 

    Based on the Company's total market capitalization of $1,307.4 million at 
June 30, 1996 (at the June 30, 1996 closing stock price of $25.625 and 
including the 4,268,608 Units of minority interest in the Operating 
Partnership), the Company's consolidated debt plus its proportionate share of 
total unconsolidated debt (other than the Rowes Wharf property debt) 
represented approximately 38% of its total market capitalization. 

Short and Long Term Liquidity 

    The Company has considered its short-term liquidity needs and the 
adequacy of Funds 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 qualifications under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company believes 
that these needs will be fully funded from cash flows provided by operating 
activities. 

    The Company expects to meet long-term liquidity requirements for the 
costs of development, property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, major 
renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through 
long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional 
Operating Partnership units and equity securities. The Company may finance 
the redevelopment or acquisition of additional properties by using its Credit 
Facility.
