Bankruptcy Filing of Borrower Under Participating Mortgage Loan

Dean Witter Realty Yield Plus II (the "Partnership") and an affiliated
partnership, Dean Witter Realty Yield Plus (collectively, the "Lender") had made
a second mortgage loan in the principal amount of $59.2 million to Government
Center Garage Trust (the "Trust"), the owner of the One Congress Street 
property.  The Partnership's share of the loan, including accrued interest 
at September 30, 1996 was approximately $25.0 million.

The Trust defaulted on the loan by failing to timely pay September debt service.
Thereafter, the Lender accelerated the loan and attempted to take possession of
the One Congress Street property.  On October 15, 1996, the Trust and GCGA
Limited Partnership, the sole beneficiary thereof, filed voluntary bankruptcy
petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The Partnership is currently considering what actions to take in response to the
bankruptcy filing.  It is impossible at this time to predict the impact of the
bankruptcy filing on the collectability of the Partnership's loan or on its
financial statements.
