                           AND CONSOLIDATED VENTURES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

                                  (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999,
which are included in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K
(File No. 0-16111) filed on March 24, 2000, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
financial statements have been omitted from this report.  Capitalized terms
used but not defined in this quarterly report have the same meanings as in
the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

     The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 ("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" as required in the first
quarter of 1996.  The Partnership's policy is to consider a property to be
held for sale or disposition when the Partnership has committed to a plan
to sell or dispose of such property and active marketing activity has
commenced or is expected to commence in the near term or the Partnership
has concluded that it may dispose of the property by no longer funding
operating deficits or debt service requirements of the property thus
allowing the lender to realize upon its security.  In accordance with
SFAS 121, any properties identified as "held for sale or disposition" are
no longer depreciated.  The unconsolidated venture's commitment to a plan
for sale or disposal of the Piper Jaffray Tower had, as of June 30, 1999,
not resulted in a sale or disposition.  As a result, the unconsolidated
venture made an adjustment to record depreciation expense as of that date
that would have been recognized had the Piper Jaffray Tower not been
considered "held for sale or disposition".  Further, the unconsolidated
venture began to record depreciation expense for this property commencing
July 1, 1999.  However, as discussed below, due to the commencement by the
mortgage lender to realize upon its security in the property, the
unconsolidated venture anticipates it will reclassify the property as held
for sale or disposition as of July 1, 2000.  The Partnership's share of
operations were ($690,774) and ($184,502) of the total property operations
of ($1,381,547) and ($369,004) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively.  As of June 30, 2000, the Partnership and its
consolidated ventures have sold all their consolidated investment
properties.  The results of operations, net of venture partners' share, for
properties sold or disposed of in the past two years were $667,437 and
$1,212,453, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

     No provision for state or Federal income taxes has been made as the
liability for such taxes is that of the partners rather than the
Partnership.  However, in certain instances, the Partnership has been, and
will be, required under applicable law to remit directly to the taxing
authorities amounts representing withholding from distributions paid to
partners.  Due to this requirement, $130,871 representing such withholding
was remitted in 1999 to the state of Maryland on behalf of the Holders of
Interests.

     Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates, including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees and certain of its officers and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Fees, commissions and other
expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and
their affiliates as of June 30, 2000 and for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

                                                                Unpaid at

                                         ==========    ======    =========

     Through November of 1994, certain of the properties owned by the
Partnership's consolidated and unconsolidated ventures were managed by an
affiliate of the Corporate General Partner.  Included in accounts payable
are amounts due to affiliates of $1,057,092 and $1,732,968 at June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively, which consists of management fees and
leasing commissions (discussed below).  Payments of $675,876 were made in
February 2000 to reduce the liability.  The cumulative deferred amounts do
not bear interest.

     An affiliate of the General Partners was entitled to payment of
property management and leasing fees relating to 260 Franklin through
November 1994 and subsequently JMB guaranteed payment to the unaffiliated
third party property manager for the property management and leasing fees.
Pursuant to a loan modification for the property, property management and
leasing fees were required to be escrowed through December 1995.  Beginning
in January 1996, the unaffiliated property manager was paid management and
leasing fees by the property.  Upon the sale of the 260 Franklin Street
building, the Partnership recorded a liability for its prorata share of the
unpaid fees.  As of June 30, 2000, $1,057,092 of management and leasing
fees remained payable.  Such recorded liability does not bear interest.

     The affiliate also managed Piper Jaffray Tower prior to December 1994,
and pursuant to the terms of a loan modification, agreed to defer receipt
of its property management fees earned of approximately $1,839,000 as of
June 30, 2000 (of which the Partnership's share is approximately $919,500).

The unconsolidated venture's obligation to the affiliate is not reflected
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999.  Such deferred amount does not bear interest.



<PAGE>


     Effective January 1, 1994, certain officers and directors of the
Corporate General Partner acquired interests in a company which, among
other things, had provided management services to Erie McClurg Park
Facility (sold in September 1992).  Such acquisition had no effect on the
fees payable by the Partnership under any existing agreement with such
company.  In connection with the sale of Erie McClurg, a management
termination agreement was reached which required the Partnership to make
monthly payments to such company through 2010.  The Partnership
subsequently disputed the amounts due under such management termination
agreement.  Effective September 29, 1999, the Partnership and such company
executed a new termination agreement whereby the Partnership agreed to pay
a $659,028 termination fee in full satisfaction of all previous and future
amounts due through 2010 under the original termination agreement.  Such
amount was determined primarily by estimating the future annual payments
through September 2010 to become due to such company under the original
termination agreement and discounting them to a present value at a 10% per
annum rate.  At the time the new termination agreement was entered into,
officers and directors of the Corporate General Partner owned in the
aggregate an approximate 5% indirect interest in such company.

JMB/900

     Pursuant to the extension of the mortgage loan, prior to the sale of
the property in November 1999, net cash flow (as defined) was paid into an
escrow account controlled by the lender.  The escrow account, including
interest earned thereon, was to be used by Progress Partners for payment of
property taxes and releasing costs associated with leases which were to
expire in 1999 and 2000 (approximately 50% of the building including the
Schulte, Roth & Zabel lease).  During 1999, prior to the sale of the
property, approximately $7,934,000 had been deposited into escrow from net
cash flow from property operations.  The escrow balance at closing of the
property sale was approximately $16,083,000.  Such escrow was released to
Progress Partners upon the sale of the property as discussed below.

     In July 1998, JMB/900 entered into an agreement with two of its
venture partners in Progress Partners and a judgment creditor of those
venture partners (such judgment creditor and the venture partners are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Progress Parties") to resolve
outstanding claims against each other.  The agreement was subject to
occurrence of various terms and conditions, which failed to occur.  In a
further effort to resolve their outstanding claims and to place JMB/900 in
a position to control and market the 900 Third Avenue Building, JMB/900
entered into a settlement agreement with the Progress Parties effective as
of March 17, 1999 ("Settlement Agreement").  The Settlement Agreement
generally provided for the settlement and release of all claims and causes
of action by and against JMB/900 and the Progress Parties related to or
arising from the joint venture relationship or the property.  Under the
Settlement Agreement and related transactions, JMB/900 and an affiliate
acquired all of the right, title and interest of the Progress Parties in
the property, Progress Partners and PC-900 and resolved all outstanding
litigation in exchange for a total payment of $16.0 million, $13.5 million
of which was paid at closing of the Settlement Agreement with the remaining
$2.5 million paid upon the sale of the property, as discussed below.  In a
related agreement and for the payment of $300,000 and the release of
various claims, certain litigation and claims by and between the FDIC and
JMB/900 were resolved and dismissed.  As part of the settlement, the
limited partnership interests in PC-900 were assigned to 14-15 Office
Associates, L.P. ("Office Associates"), in which JMB/900 owns a 99% limited
partnership interest.  P-C 900's interest in Progress Partners was then
transferred to JMB/900 and Office Associates, which became the sole
remaining partners in Progress Partners.  Amendments to the joint venture
agreement of Progress Partners were made to effectuate the terms of the
settlement and the substitution of partners.



<PAGE>


     In July 1999, JMB/900, through Progress Partners, entered into a
contract to sell the 900 Third Avenue Building to an unaffiliated third
party.  On November 2, 1999, Progress Partners sold the property for
approximately $163,000,000.  Upon closing, Progress Partners received cash
from the sale of approximately $62,300,000 (net of closing costs but before
prorations).  The cash received is also net of the repayment of the
mortgage loan secured by the property of approximately $87,000,000, a
prepayment penalty of approximately $5,800,000 and the final payment to the
Progress Parties pursuant to the Settlement Agreement of approximately
$2,500,000.  As a result of this sale, Progress Partners recognized a gain
of approximately $54,000,000 and $77,000,000 for financial reporting and
Federal income tax purposes, respectively.  The Partnership's share of such
items was approximately $35,900,000 and $51,400,000, respectively.  As is
customary in such transactions, Progress Partners agreed to certain
representations, warranties and covenants with a stipulated survival
period, which expires on September 15, 2000.  Although it is not expected,
Progress Partners may ultimately have some liability under such
representations, warranties and covenants, which is limited to actual
damages and shall in no event exceed $2,000,000.  As required by the sale
agreement, Progress Partners has placed this amount into an escrow account.

     As Progress Partners had committed to a plan to sell or dispose of the
property, the 900 Third Avenue Building was classified as held for sale or
disposition as of July 1, 1998, and therefore, has not been subject to
continued depreciation beyond such date for financial reporting purposes.

CALIFORNIA PLAZA

     On December 23, 1999, the Partnership, through a joint venture, C-C
California Plaza Partnership (the "Venture"), sold the California Plaza
office building.  Upon closing, the Venture received cash of $6,754,665
(net of closing costs but before prorations).  The cash was also net of the
repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the property of approximately
$64,100,000.  The terms of the Venture agreement generally provided that
the unaffiliated venture partner did not participate in any sale proceeds
until (i) the Partnership's cumulative preferred return, as defined, had
been satisfied and (ii) the Partnership received up to an additional
$20,000,000 in sale proceeds.  Therefore, the Partnership was entitled to
and received all of the proceeds from the sale of the property.
Additionally, in connection with the sale of the property, the Venture
received the balance of cash receipts (approximately $3,400,000) in a
reserve account that had been controlled by the mortgage lender for the
payment of future costs, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions
and capital improvements for the Property.  The terms of the Venture
agreement generally provided that net cash receipts would be distributed to
the Partnership until the Partnership's cumulative preferred return, as
defined, had been satisfied.  Therefore, the Partnership also received the
funds released from the reserve account.

     The property had been classified as held for sale or disposition as of
December 31, 1996, and therefore, had not been subject to continued
depreciation after such date.  As a result of this sale, the Venture
recognized a gain of $23,089,381 and $49,334,171 for financial reporting
and Federal income tax purposes, respectively.  The Partnership's share of
such items was $23,089,381 and $29,545,904, respectively.  As is customary
in such transactions, the Venture agreed to certain representations,
warranties and covenants with a stipulated survival period, which expires
on December 25, 2000.  Although it is not expected, the Venture and the
Partnership may ultimately have some liability under such representations,
warranties and covenants, which is limited to actual damages and shall, in
no event, exceed $2,000,000.  In addition, the Partnership made certain
representations and indemnities to the purchaser and the title insurance
company relating to its right to cause a sale of the property.



<PAGE>


     In 1998, the Venture reached a settlement agreement with a former
tenant and accepted a promissory note in the principal amount of $275,000
with payments of principal and interest amortized over five years.  The
Partnership assumed the rights to the note upon the sale of the California
Plaza office building.  As of June 30, 2000, the outstanding balance of the
note receivable was $190,409 which is included in current portion of note
receivable and long-term portion of note receivable.  The Partnership is in
discussing with the former tenant an early payoff of the promissory note on
a discounted basis.

PIPER JAFFRAY TOWER

     Occupancy of the building at the end of the second quarter of 2000 was
65%.

     As expected, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc. ("PJI"), which occupied
335,684 square feet or approximately 46% of the building's rentable square
feet vacated the majority of its space (approximately 199,000 square feet)
and moved to a recently completed office tower upon expiration of its lease
on May 31, 2000.  However, PJI has extended a portion of its current space
(approximately 136,000 square feet) through May 31, 2002, although the new
rental rates, while at market rates, are significantly less than rental
rates under the previous PJI lease.  Additionally, Piper has executed new
long-term leases representing an additional approximately 117,000 square
feet.  The property manager has been actively pursuing replacement tenants
for the balance of the PJI space; however, given the extremely competitive
nature of the downtown Minneapolis market due to a significant amount of
new office construction, not all of the PJI space was released quickly
enough to generate sufficient cash flow to fund the required debt service
payments.  As a result, Piper has not made the required debt service
payments under the mortgage loan since June 1, 2000, and is in monetary
default under such loan.

     The mortgage loan had an original principal amount of $100,000,000, of
which approximately $95,619,000 is outstanding as of June 30, 2000.  The
lender is essentially entitled to all operating cash flow (as defined) in
excess of fixed interest and certain other costs.  During 1999 and 1998, no
such cash flow was generated.  However, the lender disputed certain amounts
in the calculation of cash flow for the years 1997 and 1998.  This resulted
in JMB/Piper owing an additional amount of cash flow (approximately
$122,000) for 1997.  Additionally, JMB/Piper incurred excess capital costs
of approximately $199,000 in 1998 for which it was entitled to
reimbursement from the escrow account.  In settling such dispute, the
lender and JMB/Piper agreed to have the additional cash flow paid directly
from the escrow account with the balance paid to JMB/Piper for excess
capital costs incurred (approximately $77,000), which JMB/Piper received in
the fourth quarter of 1999.  On a monthly basis, Piper deposits the
property management fee into an escrow account to be used (including
interest earned thereon) for future leasing costs to the extent cash flow
is not sufficient to cover such items.  For the six months ended June 30,
2000, approximately $311,000 representing property management fees was
deposited and approximately $970,000 was withdrawn from the escrow account
for certain leasing costs.  The escrow balance as of June 30, 2000 was
approximately $5,126,000.  The manager of the property (which was an
affiliate of the Corporate General Partner through November 1994) has
agreed to defer receipt of its management fee.  As of June 30, 2000, the
manager has deferred approximately $5,366,000 ($1,839,000 of which
represents deferred fees due to an affiliate of the Corporate General
Partner through November 1994) of management fees.  Under the escrow
agreement, if upon sale or refinancing of the property or maturity of the
loan, there are funds remaining in this escrow after payment of amounts
owed to the lender, such funds will be paid to the manager to the extent of
its deferred and unpaid management fees.  However, upon default of the
mortgage loan, the balance in the escrow account is to be applied to the
outstanding principal balance.



<PAGE>


     JMB/Piper, on behalf of Piper, had been negotiating with the lender to
transfer title to the property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
JMB/Piper and the lender were unable to reach an agreement related to such
a transaction.  Consequently, and as a result of the monetary default
discussed above, the lender began legal proceedings to realize upon its
security in the building.  In consideration for, among other things, Piper
and all of its constituent partners (collectively, the "Defendants") being
released under the loan documents upon the expiration of the redemption
period for foreclosure on the property and for payment of the Defendants'
fees, within certain limitations, associated with the transaction, the
Defendants executed a Stipulation consenting to a foreclosure sale of the
property, including the fee interest in the land underlying the building.
On July 20, 2000, the Court approved the Stipulation and appointed a
receiver on behalf of the lender.  JMB/Piper currently expects that title
to the land and building will transfer to the lender sometime in mid-2001.
Such transfer would result in Piper, JMB/Piper, and the Partnership,
realizing a significant amount of gain for both financial reporting and
Federal income tax purposes in 2001, the year of expected disposition, with
no distributable proceeds from such disposition.  However, there can be no
assurance that the lender will take title to the property or that such
disposition will be completed within the time frame currently anticipated.

     As JMB/Piper has committed to a plan to sell or dispose of the
property, JMB/Piper currently anticipates that the Piper Jaffray Tower will
again be classified as held for sale or disposition as of July 1, 2000, and
therefore, it is not expected to be subject to continued depreciation
beyond such date for financial reporting purposes.

WELLS FARGO CENTER

     The mortgage note secured by the property (with a balance of
approximately $173,000,000 as of June 30, 2000), as extended, matures
September, 2003.  All excess cash flow is being escrowed for future tenant
improvements and principal payments.  In addition, upon sale or refinancing
of the property subsequent to September 1, 1999, the mortgage loan requires
payment of participation interest (as defined) of any excess proceeds.

     A promissory note secured by the Partnership's interest in the limited
liability company that owns the property, which has an adjusted principal
balance of approximately $40,830,000, and accrued interest of approximately
$25,250,000 at June 30, 2000, is due September 2003.  The note accrues
interest at 17% per annum and requires payments of cash flow distributed by
the limited liability company from either property operations or sales
proceeds as well as a portion of the property management fee paid to the
unaffiliated member in the limited liability company.  The loan is
nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the limited
liability company.

     The Partnership is currently exploring the disposition of its interest
in the limited liability company prior to the maturity of the loans.  At
maturity of the loans, it is not anticipated that further modifications or
extensions can be obtained.  This would likely result in a lender taking
title to the property or the Partnership's interest in the limited
liability company.  In either event, the Partnership would no longer have
an ownership interest in the property, which would result in a significant
amount of taxable income to the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes
with no corresponding distributable proceeds.  Since the terms of the
modified mortgage note and the promissory note secured by the Partnership's
interest in the limited liability company make it highly unlikely that the
Partnership would recover any incremental investment, the Partnership has
decided not to commit any significant additional amounts to the property.



<PAGE>


     Due to the restructuring of the Partnership's interest in Wells Fargo
Center - South Tower in 1996, the Partnership has ceased loss recognition
relative to its real estate investment and has reversed those previously
recognized losses that the Partnership is no longer obligated to fund.  The
Partnership has no future funding obligation for its investment in Wells
Fargo Center - South Tower.  Accordingly, the Partnership has discontinued
the application of the equity method of accounting and additional losses
from the investment in Wells Fargo Center - South Tower will not be
recognized.

ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments and adjustments to
reflect the treatment given certain transactions in the Partnership's 1999
Annual Report) necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the
accompanying figures as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Reference is made to the notes (the "Notes") to the accompanying
financial statements for additional information concerning the
Partnership's investments.

     At June 30, 2000, the Partnership and its consolidated ventures had
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12,890,000.  Such funds and
certain escrowed amounts (which are restricted as to their use) are
available for working capital requirements, potential liabilities related
to the representations, warranties and covenants made upon the sales of the
California Plaza office building and the 900 Third Avenue office building
and potential future distributions to the partners.  The Piper Jaffray and
Wells Fargo Center - South Tower investment properties are restricted as to
the use of excess cash flows by escrow agreements negotiated pursuant to
loan modifications.  Amounts held in escrow for a particular property may
be used for payment of tenant improvements and other expenses related to
the particular property.  Due to property specific concerns discussed in
the Notes, the Partnership does not consider its remaining investment
properties to be potential significant sources of future cash generated
from sales or operations.

     In connection with the sale of the 900 Third Avenue Building in
November 1999, Progress Partners agreed to certain representations,
warranties and covenants with a stipulated survival period that expires on
September 15, 2000.  Although not expected, Progress Partners may
ultimately have some liability under such representations, warranties and
covenants, which is limited to actual damages and shall in no event exceed
$2,000,000.  As required by the sale agreement, Progress Partners has
placed this amount (of which the Partnership's share is $1,333,400) into an
escrow account.  The Partnership's share of funds remaining in the escrow
account, if any, would be returned to the Partnership after expiration of
the representations, warranties and covenants.

     In February 2000, JMB/900 distributed approximately $26,400,000, which
was included in the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents at December 31,
1999, to Carlyle-XIV (the Partnership's affiliated partner in the JMB/900
venture) representing Carlyle-XIV's share of sales proceeds and cash flow
generated from the operations of the 900 Third Avenue office building.  The
Partnership, in late February 2000, made a distribution of $39,905,634 ($90
per Interest) of sale proceeds (primarily related to the sales of the
California Plaza office building and the 900 Third Avenue office building)
to the Holders of Interests.  Additionally, in February 2000, the
Partnership made a distribution of $17,735,837 ($40 per Interest) to the
Holders of Interests and $738,993 to the General Partners from Partnership
operational cash flow.  The Corporate General Partner also received its
$1,231,655 management fee related to the February 2000 distribution.  The
Partnership currently expects to make a distribution of cash flow from
operations of approximately $4,436,000 ($10 per interest) to the Holders of
Interests and $185,000 to the General Partners in the third quarter of
2000.  The General Partners are expected to receive a management fee of
approximately $310,000 in connection with this distribution.

     The General Partners and their affiliates have previously deferred
property management and leasing fees payable to them in an aggregate amount
of approximately $2,653,000 which was reduced by a $676,000 payment by the
Partnership in February 2000 to approximately $1,977,000 (approximately $4
per Interest) relating to certain of the Partnership's investment
properties, which amount includes the Partnership's proportionate share of
such fees related to unconsolidated entities.  The deferred fees do not
bear interest.



<PAGE>


     The Partnership has currently budgeted in 2000 approximately
$2,848,000 (of which approximately $628,000 has been incurred as of
June 30, 2000) for its share of tenant improvements and other capital
expenditures at the Piper Jaffray Tower.  However, there are sufficient
cash reserves for payment of such items held in escrow pursuant to the loan
modification for the Piper Jaffray Tower.  Actual amounts expended in 2000
may vary depending on a number of factors including actual leasing
activity, results of property operations, liquidity considerations and
other market conditions over the course of the year and the length of time
Piper continues to own the property.  The Partnership has not budgeted any
amounts, and has no funding obligations for the Wells Fargo Center - South
Tower.

     As discussed in the Notes, JMB/Piper, on behalf of Piper, had been
negotiating with the lender to transfer title to the property through a
deed in lieu of foreclosure.  JMB/Piper and the lender were unable to reach
an agreement related to such a transaction.  Consequently, and as a result
of the monetary default discussed above, the lender began legal proceedings
to realize upon its security in the building.  In consideration for, among
other things, Piper and all of its constituent partners (collectively, the
"Defendants") being released under the loan documents upon the expiration
of the redemption period for foreclosure on the property and for payment of
the Defendants' fees, within certain limitations, associated with the
transaction, the Defendants executed a Stipulation consenting to a
foreclosure sale of the property, including the fee interest in the land
underlying the building.  On July 20, 2000, the Court approved the
Stipulation and appointed a receiver on behalf of the lender.  JMB/Piper
currently expects that title to the land and building will transfer to the
lender sometime in mid-2001.  Such transfer would result in Piper,
JMB/Piper, and the Partnership, realizing a significant amount of gain for
both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes in 2001, the year
of expected disposition, with no distributable proceeds from such
disposition.  However, there can be no assurance that the lender will take
title to the property or that such disposition will be completed within the
time frame currently anticipated.

     As discussed in the Notes, the Partnership is currently exploring the
disposition of its interest in the limited liability company which owns the
Wells Fargo Center - South Tower prior to the maturity of the loans.  At
maturity of the loans, it is not anticipated that further modifications  or
extensions can be obtained.  This would likely result in a lender taking
title to the property or the Partnership's interest in the limited
liability company.  In either event, the Partnership would no longer have
an ownership interest in the property, which would result in income to the
Partnership for Federal income tax purposes with no corresponding
distributable proceeds.

     The Partnership's and its ventures' obligations generally are separate
non-recourse loans secured individually by the investment properties and
are not obligations of the entire investment portfolio, and the Partnership
and its ventures are not personally liable for the payment of the
indebtedness.  The Partnership also does not intend to commit any
significant additional funds to either the Wells Fargo Center - South Tower
or the Piper Jaffray Tower.

     Although the Partnership expects to make minimal future cash
distributions, aggregate distributions received by Holders of Interests
over the entire term of the Partnership will be substantially less than
one-third of their original investment.  However, in connection with sales
or other dispositions (including transfers to lenders) of properties (or
interests therein) owned by the Partnership or its ventures, the Holders of
Interests will be allocated gain for Federal income tax purposes,
regardless of whether any proceeds are distributable from such sales or
other dispositions.  In particular, the Piper Jaffray Tower and Wells Fargo


<PAGE>


Center - South Tower investment properties have high levels of debt secured
by each property and provide no cash flow to the Partnership.  While loan
and joint venture modifications have been obtained that enable the
Partnership to retain an ownership interest in these properties, it is
currently unlikely under existing arrangements that the Partnership will
receive any proceeds from operations or sales of either of these
properties.  However, upon disposition of these properties or the
Partnership's interest therein, the Partnership, and therefore, the Holders
of Interests, will recognize a substantial amount of taxable income with no
distributable proceeds.  For certain Holders of Interests, such taxable
income may be offset by their suspended passive activity losses (if any).
Each Holder's tax consequences will depend on such Holder's own tax
situation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Significant fluctuations in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements are primarily due to the acquisition by JMB/900 of the interests
of the FDIC and the unaffiliated venture partners in Progress Partners in
March 1999 (resulting in the consolidation of JMB/900) and the sales of the
900 Third Avenue office building and the California Plaza office building
in November 1999 and in December 1999, respectively.

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2000 as compared
to December 31, 1999 is primarily due to the distribution in February 2000
of cash flow from sales and operations of approximately $57,641,000 to the
Holders of interests and approximately $739,000 to the General Partners and
the payment of a management fee to the Corporate General Partner of
approximately $1,232,000 related to such distribution.  Additionally, such
decrease and the related decrease in venture partner's subordinated equity
in venture is due to the distribution made by JMB/900, in February 2000, of
approximately $26,400,000 to Carlyle-XIV representing its share of sales
proceeds and cash flow generated from the operations of the 900 Third
Avenue Office Building.

     The decrease in interest, rents and other receivables at June 30, 2000
as compared to December 31, 1999 is primarily due to a lower average cash
balance available for investment as a result of the distributions discussed
above.

     The decrease in accounts payable at June 30, 2000 as compared to
December 31, 1999 is primarily due to the payments made toward unpaid
property management and leasing fees.

     The increase in long-term debt at June 30, 2000 as compared to
December 31, 1999 is primarily due to the interest accrual on the
promissory note secured by the Partnership's interest in the limited
liability company that owns the Wells Fargo Center - South Tower.

     The increase in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000
as compared to the same period in 1999 is primarily due to the temporary
investment of the proceeds from the sales and cash flow from operations of
the 900 Third Avenue Office Building and the California Plaza Office
Building.  A portion of such funds were distributed in late February 2000
as discussed above.

     The increase in management fees to Corporate General Partners for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 is
due to the distribution of cash flow from operations to the General
Partners and Holders of Interests in February 2000.  The management fee is
based upon a percentage of the distributions of cash flow from operations.

     The decrease in Partnership's share of earnings (loss) from operations
of unconsolidated ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
as compared to the same periods in 1999 is primarily due to the decrease in
occupancy in 2000 and the commencement of depreciation in July 1999 at the
Piper Jaffray Tower.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

     ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On July 20, 2000, an action entitled TEACHERS INSURANCE AND ANNUITY
ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA V. 222 SOUTH NINTH STREET LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, OB
JOINT VENTURE, JMB/PIPER JAFFRAY TOWER ASSOCIATES, CARLYLE REAL ESTATE
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-XIV, JMB/PIPER JAFFRAY TOWER ASSOCIATES II, CAMPBELL-
MITHUN-ESTY, L.L.C., U.S. BANCORP PIPER JAFFRAY INC. JMB REALTY
CORPORATION, OB JOINT VENTURE II AND LHDL REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP was
initiated in and an order for judgement entered by Minnesota District Court
of Hennepin County, Minnesota.  In the proceeding, Teachers Insurance and
Annuity Association of America ("Teachers"), as the holder of the mortgage
note secured by the Piper Jaffray Tower, sought the enforcement of its
security interest and the appointment of a receiver for the benefit of the
lender to take exclusive possession, control and operation of the property.

Due to a substantial amount of space vacated by a major tenant at the
expiration of its lease in May 2000, the property owning venture has not
made all of the scheduled debt service payments on the mortgage note since
June 1, 2000.  In consideration for, among other things, being released
under the mortgage loan documents upon the expiration of the redemption
period for foreclosure on the property and for payment of their fees in
connection with the transaction, within certain limitations, the defendants
listed above executed a stipulation consenting to the foreclosure sale of
the property.  In July 2000, the Court approved the stipulation, granted
Teachers' application and entered an order for a receiver to take exclusive
possession, control and operation of the property.  Accordingly, the
receiver has control of the property and its operations.  Title to the
property is currently expected to be transferred to Teachers or its
designee in 2001.  However, there can be no assurance that the lender will
take title to the property or that such disposition will be completed
within the time frame currently anticipated.

     The Partnership is not subject to any other material legal
proceedings.


     ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

     The joint venture that owns the Piper Jaffray Tower has not made all
of the scheduled debt service payments on the mortgage note secured by the
property since June 1, 2000.  As of July 20, 2000 aggregate amounts due to
the lender were approximately $97,500,000, including certain default
interest.  Reference is made to the subsection entitled "JMB/Piper" in the
Notes to the Financial Statements filed with this report for a further
discussion of the default under the mortgage loan secured by the Piper
Jaffray Tower, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference.
