  Item 5.  Other Events
  
  Valuation per Unit of Limited Partnership Interest
       
       The Managing General Partner of the Partnership has estimated the
  value per Unit of limited partnership interest at October 31, 1995 to be
  $439.  This value was based on appraisals of the Partnership's real estate
  properties by Cushman & Wakefield, an independent appraisal firm, with
  adjustments by the Managing General Partner for other Partnership assets and
  liabilities.  The values of the properties do not necessarily reflect the
  amounts which could be obtained upon an immediate liquidation of the
  properties.  The value per Unit does not represent the market price for the
  Units.  In the limited market for resale of Partnership Units, a seller
  would most likely receive a discount to the $439 value upon sale of the
  Unit.

  the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
  undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
