SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Mid-Atlantic Realty Trust, Common Shares of 
Beneficial Interest Par Value $0.01; 7.625% Convertible Subordinated 
Debentures due 2003) File No. 1-12286

October 1, 1997.
    Mid-Atlantic Realty Trust (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the 
American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with 
such Exchange a certified copy of preambles and resolutions adopted by 
the Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its 
Securities from listing on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to 
such Exchange the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts 
in support thereof.
    In making the decision to withdraw its Securities from listing on 
the Amex, the Company considered the following:
    The Company has been advised by its underwriters and financial 
advisers to list its Shares and Debentures on the New York Stock 
Exchange (``NYSE''); that such listing will help facilitate a 
distribution in an offering; that listing on the NYSE is beneficial to 
the Company in connection with a distribution of the Company's 
Securities overseas and on foreign exchanges; that such listing would 
help facilitate a distribution of the Company's Securities to 
institutional investors; and the underwriters have required that such 
listing be accomplished prior to any proposed public offering by the 
Company. The Company's Securities began trading on the NYSE at the 
opening of business on September 18, 1997.
    By letter dated September 17, 1997, the Amex informed the Company 
that the Exchange would not object to the Company's filing of an 
application to withdraw its Securities from listing on the Amex.
    Any interested person may, on or before October 23, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchange 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
