PART 1
Item 1.  Business

      The registrant, First Dearborn Income Properties L.P. II (the
"Partnership"), is a limited partnership formed in May 1988 under the
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware to
invest in income producing commercial and  residential real estate
consisting principally of existing shopping centers and office buildings,
as well as apartment complexes, parking garages and lots and warehouse
and industrial buildings.  On February 1, 1989, the Partnership commenced
an offering of $10,000,000 (subject to increase by an additional
$5,000,000) of its limited partnership interests (the "Units") at $500
per Unit, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-23048).  A total of 10,000 Units was
sold.  The holders of 3,345 Units were admitted to the Partnership in
1989, holders of 4,444 Units were admitted to the Partnership in 1990,
and holders of 2,211 Units were admitted in 1991.  Of the 2,211 Units
purchased in 1991, 1,669 Units were  purchased by an affiliate of the
General Partners pursuant to its Agreement to Purchase Units.  The
offering terminated on January 31, 1991 (extended from its originally
scheduled termination date of January 31, 1990).  Since admission to the
Partnership, no holder of Units (hereinafter, a "Limited Partner") has
made any additional capital contributions.  The Limited Partners of the
Partnership share in the benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real
property investments in proportion to the number of Units held.

     Net of offering costs, Limited Partners have contributed a total of
$4,058,963 to the Partnership.  The Partnership is engaged solely in the
business of real estate investment.  It is the Partnership's objective to
realize cash flow from operations and appreciation in the value of the
real estate.  The Partnership has entered into three joint venture
agreements with partnerships sponsored by affiliates of the General
Partners.  Pursuant to such agreements, the Partnership has made capital
contributions aggregating $3,652,066 through December 31, 1997.  The
Partnership has acquired, through these ventures, interests in two
shopping centers and a mixed use apartment/retail building.  No
investments have been made since 1991.  The Country Isles property was
sold in December 1997.  As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had made
the real property investments set forth in the following table:

<PAGE>

     Sycamore Mall represents the most significant investment made by the
Partnership.  A total of $2,275,000 has been invested by the Partnership
which represents 62% of the Partnership's real estate investments.  Since
acquiring the Sycamore Mall investment in 1990, the Partnership has
received cash distributions of $1,423,351 from Sycamore Mall Associates.
Country Isles represents an investment of $775,000 or 21% of the
Partnership's real estate investments.  Since acquiring the Country Isles
investment in 1991, the Partnership has received distributions of
$1,536,718.  Evanston Galleria accounts for $602,066 or 17% of the
Partnership's real estate investments.  Since acquiring the Evanston
Galleria investment in 1989, the Partnership has received distributions
of $50,133.

     During the past five years, operations at the Partnership's three
properties have provided sufficient cash flow to meet the obligations of
the Partnership and continue to make distributions to its partners.  Each
of the properties has been able to sustain adequate cash flow even though
they have each had some releasing issues over the last few years.  The
real estate market in general has suffered from overbuilding which
occurred during the 1980's.  This increased the competition for the
Partnership's properties, which resulted in a decrease in rental rates
from 1990 to 1994.  Since 1994, the market rental rates have continued to
increase moderately.

     During 1996, Randall's, a tenant at Sycamore Mall, vacated its
leased premises of 19,800 square feet.  As a result of the Randall's
vacancy, occupancy at Sycamore Mall fell to approximately 86% during the
second quarter of 1996.  However, Randall's continued to pay rent through
December, 1996.  Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a tenant under a lease which
had an original termination date of March 31, 1992.  Prior to that
termination, a ten-year extension was agreed to which provided Sears an
option to terminate the lease at any time after March 31, 1997 by giving
landlord a one year written notice.  Sears gave such notice on September
17, 1997 and will terminate its lease on September 1, 1998.  Management
is currently negotiating with a potential replacement tenant, however
there can be no assurance that a new lease will be entered into.  If this
space is not released, the ability of Sycamore Mall to meet its financial
obligations could be effected, as a result of the decreased revenues.

     During 1995, the Evanston Galleria experienced a problem with retail
tenants.  There was 13,635 square feet of retail space of which the
tenants were in default of their leases for non payment of rent.
Occupancy in the apartments at Evanston Galleria has remained in the 94%
- 100% range during the last five years.  The retail space has had a
problem with tenant defaults, which has reduced overall occupancy to as
low as 80% in 1991.  As of December 31, 1996, occupancy was 84%.  During
the fourth quarter of 1997, Evanston Galleria collected $50,000 as a
settlement for past due rents.  Management has settled its legal actions
against the previously defaulted tenants.  Also during the fourth quarter
of 1997, management was successful in signing two new leases.  As of
December 31, 1997 occupancy was 83%.  However, a lease has been entered
into to lease the lower level space of 11,300 square feet which has
increased occupancy to over 93%, subsequent to December 31, 1997.

     As of October 1, 1997, the Evanston Galleria property was considered
to be held for sale.  In accordance with SFAS 121, no depreciation
expense relative to the property was recorded by the Partnership from
October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.  The net book value of the
Evanston Galleria property at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $8,415,096
and $8,675,592, respectively, and net loss from operations for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net of the Venture Partners share
were $90,086, $78,686 and $96,309 respectively.

     The Partnership's real property investments are subject to
competition from similar types of properties in the vicinities in which
they are located.  Approximate occupancy levels for the Partnership's
properties are set forth on a quarterly basis in the table set forth in
Item 2 below to which reference is hereby made.  The Partnership has no
real property investments located outside the United States.

     Only one of the three Partnership's investments is consolidated for

three properties individually and does not relate to financial

     The Partnership has no employees and is largely dependent on the
General Partners and their affiliates for services.  A description of the
terms of transactions between the Partnership and affiliates of the
General Partners is set forth in Item 11 below to which reference is
hereby made.


Evanston Galleria Limited Partnership
     On October 31, 1989, the Partnership acquired an interest in
Evanston Galleria Limited Partnership (the "Galleria Partnership") which
owns a 100% beneficial interest in the Evanston Galleria, a mixed-use
residential and retail  property  located in Evanston, Illinois.  The
property, located on a 0.79 acre site, contains 36,068 square feet of
rentable retail space and 55 loft apartments.  The Partnership's
acquisition of its interest was effected through its acquisition of an
18.30% general partnership interest in the Galleria Partnership from
First Dearborn Evanston Associates Limited Partnership ("Evanston
Associates"), an affiliate of the General Partners.  Evanston Associates
originally agreed to purchase a 76.67% interest in the Galleria
Partnership by agreeing to contribute an aggregate $2,313,125 to the
Galleria Partnership.  The Partnership acquired a portion of the 76.67%
general partnership interest on the same terms by contributing $552,066
for its 18.30% general partnership interest.  The seller retained a
23.33% limited partnership interest.

     The Partnership and Evanston Associates, as general partners of the
Galleria Partnership, have certain preferences from operating cash flow
and distributions from sales or refinancing.  Profits are generally
allocated in accordance with cash distributions (including preferences)
and then in accordance with the respective partner's interest.  Losses
are allocated first to partners with positive capital account balances
and then in accordance with the respective partner's interest.

<PAGE>

     The limited partners ("Guarantors") of the Galleria Partnership had
provided the Partnership and Evanston Associates with a guaranty of
minimum rentals on certain retail space, maximum debt service levels and
maximum real estate tax expenses in the Galleria Partnership.  The
property has failed to perform as expected and the Galleria Partnership
has called upon the Guarantors to satisfy their obligations under the
guaranties.  The Guarantors have failed to fulfill their obligations to
the Partnership, and the General Partners have taken actions to protect
the rights of the Partnership, including receipt of an assignment in
favor of the Partnership of the Guarantors' limited partnership interests
in the Galleria Partnership of 5.57% and the receipt of security
interests in certain other limited partnership interests owned by the
Guarantors.  Amounts owed pursuant to such guaranties which are secured
by the limited partners' partnership interests will be recorded upon
receipt.

     The property is managed by an affiliate of the General Partners.
During 1997 and 1996, management fees totaling $41,550 and $25,091,
respectively,  were paid to an affiliate of the General Partners.  No
management fee was paid in 1995.

     In connection with the loan modification to the first mortgage on
the Evanston Galleria, which closed in February of 1993 and was effective
August 1, 1992, the Galleria Partnership received an infusion of
additional capital and obtained modifications of the terms of its loans.
$202,000 of additional capital was contributed to the Galleria
Partnership by Evanston Associates, of which the Partnership's share was
$50,000, in exchange for a preferred equity position.  The preferred
equity holders shall receive an annual preferred return from cash
distributions in an amount equal to the lesser of: a) prime rate plus 2%,
or b) 10% per annum.  For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership
has a 23.87% interest in the Galleria Partnership.

     Evanston Galleria is located in downtown Evanston, Illinois, a short
distance from Northwestern University.  Demand for the apartments has
been strong over the past five years with occupancy averaging 98%.
Apartment rents have been rising approximately 3% per year.  The ground
floor retail space had been 100% occupied during the past five years,
except for several instances where tenants defaulted.  This resulted in
vacancies and a reduction in rental income.  Demand for the ground floor
retail space has generally been strong.  The lower level retail space,
however, has been vacant since 1995.  One retail tenant, with a lease for
11,500 square feet, filed a petition for bankruptcy on January 11, 1994.
The tenant stopped paying rent and vacated the premises during the third
quarter of 1995.  During the fourth quarter of 1995, a second tenant
representing 2,135 square feet defaulted under the terms of its lease and
vacated the space.  Management has taken legal action against the
defaulted tenants, but currently has no estimate of the amount, if any,
or timing of collection of amounts due from these tenants.  During the
fourth quarter of 1997, Evanston Galleria collected $50,000 as a
settlement for past due rents.  Management has settled its legal actions
against the previously defaulted tenants.  As of December 31, 1997
occupancy was 83%.  However, a lease has been entered into to lease the
lower level space of 11,300 square feet which has increased occupancy to
over 93%, subsequent to December 31, 1997.

     The property is subject to a first mortgage which matured May 1,
1996.  Effective May 1, 1996, a modification of the first mortgage was
entered into which, among other modifications, extended the maturity of
the loan until May 1, 1998.  Commencing on May 1, 1996, monthly payments
were adjusted to $57,143, which represents interest only payments at an
annual rate of 8.25%, based on the outstanding principal balance of the
loan as of May 1, 1996.  Notwithstanding the pay rate of 8.25%, interest
on the loan continues to accrue and compound monthly on the unpaid
principal balance at the annual rate of 9.00%.  The interest
differential, as defined, will be paid only from proceeds resulting from
a sale or refinancing of the property or from any remaining funds in the
cash flow escrow.  The unpaid interest together with the unpaid principal
balance of the loan will be due and payable May, 1 1998.  All net cash
flow from the property, in excess of the payments due for interest, shall
be deposited into a cash flow escrow account.  If cash flow in any month
is insufficient to pay amounts due under the loan, then the amounts may
be withdrawn from the cash flow escrow account.  The first mortgage loan
matures May 1, 1998.  Although management is attempting to refinance the
loan, there can be no assurance that a refinancing can be consummated.
If the loan is not refinanced, it is likely that the loan will be in
default and that the Partnership's interest in Evanston Galleria could be
jeopardized.

Sycamore Mall Associates
     On October 26,  1990,  the Partnership contributed $2,275,000 to
acquire a 53.40% general partnership interest in Sycamore Mall
Associates, a general partnership formed to acquire the Sycamore Mall
Shopping Center in Iowa City, Iowa.  The  property, situated on an
approximate 21.2 acre site, includes a main building containing 213,206
square feet and an out parcel building containing 27,000 square feet.  A
14,000 square foot parcel  which contains a 4,590 square foot building is
under a ground lease to McDonald's.  Sycamore Mall Associates acquired
the property on October 26, 1990 for a purchase price of $9,400,000,
subject to a purchase money note of $5,140,000 bearing interest at 10%
payable interest only until maturity on October 26, 1995.  On August 8,
1991, Sycamore Mall Associates obtained a first mortgage in the amount of
$5,140,000 which bore interest at a rate of 9.625% payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of $45,355 commencing October 1,
1991 for 60 months until September 30, 1996.  The proceeds of this first
mortgage were used to repay the original purchase money note.  In October
1995, the first mortgage loan was modified.  The terms of the
modification reduced the interest rate to 8.125%, reduced the monthly
payments of principal and interest to $44,375 and extended the maturity
to March 1, 2002.

     First Dearborn Income Properties L.P., a public limited partnership
affiliated with the General Partners of the Partnership, and First
Dearborn Sycamore Associates Limited Partnership  ("FDSALP"), a privately
offered limited partnership also affiliated with the General Partners,
are the joint venture partners in Sycamore Mall Associates and
contributed a total of $1,075,000 and $910,000 for 25.24% and 21.36% of
the general partner interests, respectively.  The terms of the Sycamore
Mall Associates partnership agreement provide that cash flow, sale or
refinancing  proceeds and profit and loss will be distributed or
allocated in proportion to the partner's ownership interests.

     The property is managed by an affiliate of the General Partners and
an affiliate of the seller under a five year management agreement that
provides for a fee equal to 5% of the effective gross income, of which 1%
is paid to an affiliate of the General Partners.  During 1997, 1996 and
1995 the property incurred management fees of $93,053, $96,048 and
$97,270, respectively.

     During 1996, Randall's vacated its leased premises of 19,800 square
feet.  Occupancy fell to 86%, however, Randall's continued to pay rent
through December, 1996 so that there was no adverse financial impact in
1996.  Management is currently negotiating with a potential replacement
tenant, however there can be no assurance that a new lease will be
entered into.  If this space is not released, the ability of Sycamore
Mall to meet its financial obligations could be effected, as a result of
decreased revenues.  Sears, Roebuck and Co. is a tenant under a lease
which had an original termination date of March 31, 1992.  Prior to that
termination, a ten-year extension was agreed to which provided Sears an
option to terminate the lease at any time after March 31, 1997 by giving
landlord a one year written notice.  Sears gave such notice on September
17, 1997, and will  terminate it's lease on September 1, 1998.  The Sears
lease comprises 82,605 square feet which is 34% of the leaseable area of
the shopping center.  However, the annual rental income received from
Sears is approximately $109,000 or approximately 6% of total revenues.

     Sycamore Mall is located in Iowa City, Iowa.  A new 1,000,000 square
foot regional mall is under construction in the area.  This development
will create additional competition for Sycamore Mall.  As a precautionary
measure, Sycamore Mall Associates had reduced distributions to its
partners in order to maintain its working capital reserves.  It is
believed that the additional working capital might be necessary to help
maintain existing tenants and attract new tenants, due to the increased
competition from the new shopping center.  During the fourth quarter of
1996, Sycamore Mall Associates distributed the extra reserve to its
partners.  The partners of Sycamore Mall Associates have agreed to
maintain these additional reserves and will contribute these amounts back
to Sycamore Mall Associates if it is considered appropriate by the
partners.  The Partnership has no definite plans for improvements to the
property at this time.  Distributions to the partners in 1997 were

Country Isles
     On July 12, 1991 the Partnership acquired  from an unaffiliated
seller, a 21% interest in Country Isles Associates, an Illinois general
partnership owning Country Isles Shopping Center.  The Partnership paid
$775,000 for its 21% interest in the joint venture.  The remaining
interest in the joint venture is held by the Seller.  The partners of
Country Isles Associates are the Partnership and Arvida/JMB Partners.
Arvida/JMB Partners, which owns a 79% interest in Country Isles
Associates, is the managing general partner.  All profits, losses and
cash distributions of Country Isles Associates are allocated between its
partners in accordance with  their percentage interests, described above,
except that, in the case of the Partnership, a special preferential
distribution of cash is to be made to the Partnership to compensate it
for certain rental discounts granted by the Seller in connection with the
lease of the property.

     The Country Isles Shopping Center, located in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, is an approximately 106,000 square foot retail shopping center
containing approximately 71,000 square feet which opened in 1986 and an
additional expansion of approximately 35,000 square feet which opened in
1989.  The shopping center was 99% occupied as of December 31, 1996.  The
Country Isles Shopping Center was managed by an affiliate of the Seller.

     On April 25, 1996, Country Isles Associates completed the
refinancing of Country Isles Plaza in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  The new
mortgage provided funding of $8,100,000, the proceeds of which were used
to repay the outstanding balance of $6,807,669 on the previous mortgage,
pay the costs of completing the new loan (approximately $174,000), and
provide for property tax escrow and working capital.  Out of the
remaining proceeds, the Partnership received a distribution of $210,650
from Country Isles Associates.  The Partnership made a special
distribution to the Limited Partners.  As a result of the refinancing,
the interest rate was reduced from 9.75% to 7.00%, the monthly payments
have decreased from $60,141 to $57,250.  The mortgage was due to mature
on May 1, 2001.

     On December 17, 1997, Country Isles Associates, sold the Country
Isles Shopping Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Principal Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("Buyer").  The total purchase price received by
Country Isles was $13.2 million, which price was determined through arm's
length negotiations with Buyer.  Of this total purchase price,
approximately $7.9 million was used to repay amounts owed to the lender
holding the mortgage on the shopping center and approximately $595,000
was used for customary additional selling expenses and prorations.  The
net proceeds to Country Isles after these deductions were approximately
$4.7 million. Of these proceeds, the Partnership received approximately
$991,000 for its 21% interest.

     Through March of 1992, Country Isles Shopping Center was managed by
Arvida Management, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership
which is affiliated with Arvida/JMB  Partners.  In March of 1992, JMB
Property Management, also an affiliate of Arvida/JMB Partners, became the
manager.  Both the previous and current Management Agreements provide
that the Manager  rent and manage the project for a term of five years,
and thereafter for yearly periods, unless otherwise terminated by the
parties in accordance with the management agreement.  Country Isles
Associates paid the Manager a management fee in an amount equal to 4% of
the monthly operating revenues from the operation of the property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as the management  agent
notifies owner of its election to receive the management fee discussed
immediately above, Country Isles Associates was to pay the Manager, in
lieu of the management fee, an amount equal to 15% of amounts paid by
tenants at the project on account of reimbursement of operating expenses,
excluding taxes and insurance.  During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the property
incurred management fees of $68,600, $68,053, and $62,912, respectively.

Item 2.  Properties

     The  Partnership owns through joint venture partnerships the
properties referred to in Item 1.  The three properties that the
Partnership has an interest in are described below:

Sycamore Mall Associates
The property is a retail shopping center located in Iowa City, Iowa, and
is situated on an approximate 21.2 acre site.  It includes a main
building containing 213,206 square feet and an out parcel building
containing 27,000 square feet.  A 14,000 square foot parcel  which
contains a 4,590 square foot building is under a ground lease.  The
property is owned fee simple by a partnership of which the Partnership is
a partner.  It is subject to a first mortgage in the amount of $4,574,933
which bears interest at a rate of 8.125% payable in monthly installments
of principal and interest of  $44,375 until March 1, 2002, when the
balance comes due.

The major tenants are Sears and Von Maur which occupy approximately 34%
and 17%, respectively, of the net rentable area.  Occupancy at Sycamore
Mall has remained in the 94% - 99% range through 1995.  During 1996,
Randall's vacated its leased premises of 19,800 square feet.  Occupancy
fell to 86%, however, Randall's continued to pay rent through December,
1996 so that there was no adverse financial impact in 1996.  Management
is currently negotiating with a potential replacement tenant, however
there can be no assurance that a new lease will be entered into.  If this
space is not released, the ability of Sycamore Mall to meet its financial
obligations could be effected, as a result of decreased revenues.  Sears,
Roebuck and Co. is a tenant under a lease which had an original
termination date of March 31, 1992.  Prior to that termination, a ten-
year extension was agreed to which provided Sears an option to terminate
the lease at any time after March 31, 1997 by giving landlord a one year
written notice.  Sears gave such notice on September 17, 1997 and will
terminate its lease on September 1, 1998.  The Sears lease comprises
82,605 square feet which is 34% of the leaseable area of the shopping
center.  However, the annual rental income received from Sears is
approximately $109,000 or approximately 6% of total revenues.  The Von
Maur lease expires in 2009 and the annual rent is approximately $210,000.
Average total rents received per square foot at the property during the
last three years are $7.65 in 1997, $8.15 in 1996, and $8.14 in 1995.

There are currently no plans for any significant improvements to the
property.  However, construction has begun on a new regional shopping
center in the area.  The location of the new mall will create additional
competition for Sycamore Mall.  Management is closely monitoring the
situation.

The following table illustrates the scheduled lease expirations for
Sycamore Mall, over the next ten years:

Country Isles
The Country Isles Shopping Center, located in the Weston community of
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is an approximately 106,000 square foot retail
shopping center containing approximately 71,000 square feet which opened
in 1986 and an additional expansion of approximately 35,000 square feet
which opened in 1989.  On April 25, 1996, Country Isles Associates
completed the refinancing of Country Isles Plaza in Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida.  The new mortgage provided funding of $8,100,000, the proceeds
of which were used to repay the outstanding balance of $6,807,669 on the
previous mortgage, pay the costs of completing the new loan
(approximately $174,000), and provide for property tax escrow and working
capital.  Out of the remaining proceeds, the Partnership received a
distribution of $210,650 from Country Isles Associates.  The Partnership
made a special distribution to the Limited Partners.  As a result of the
refinancing, the interest rate was reduced from 9.75% to 7.00%, the
monthly payments have decreased from $60,141 to $57,250.  The mortgage
was due to mature  on May 1, 2001.

     On December 17, 1997, Country Isles Associates,  sold the Country
Isles Shopping Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Principal Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("Buyer").  The total purchase price received by
Country Isles was $13.2 million, which price was determined through arm's
length negotiations with Buyer.  Of this total purchase price,
approximately $7.9 million was used to repay amounts owed to the lender
holding the mortgage on the shopping center and approximately $595,000
was used for customary additional selling expenses and prorations.  The
net proceeds to Country Isles after these deductions were approximately
$4.7 million. Of these proceeds, the Partnership received approximately
$991,000 for its 21% interest.


Evanston Galleria Limited Partnership
Evanston Galleria is a mixed-use residential and retail  property
located in Evanston, Illinois.  The property, located on a 0.79 acre
site, contains 36,068 square feet of rentable retail space and 55 loft
apartments containing a total of 45,190 square feet of rentable area.
The apartments are leased on a one or two year lease term.  The retail
space is generally leased with 5 to 10 year leases.

The property is owned fee simple by a partnership of which the
Partnership is a partner.  The property is subject to a first mortgage
which matured May 1, 1996.  Effective May 1, 1996, a modification of the
first mortgage was entered into which, among other modifications,
extended the maturity of the loan until May 1, 1998.  Commencing on May
1, 1996, monthly payments were adjusted to $57,143, which represents
interest only payments at an annual rate of 8.25%, based on the
outstanding principal balance of the loan as of May 1, 1996.
Notwithstanding the pay rate of 8.25%, interest on the loan continues to
accrue and compound monthly on the unpaid principal balance at the annual
rate of 9.00%.  The interest differential, as defined, will be paid only
from proceeds resulting from a sale or refinancing of the property or
from any remaining funds in the cash flow escrow.  The unpaid interest
together with the unpaid principal balance of the loan will be due and
payable May, 1 1998.  All net cash flow from the property, in excess of
the payments due for interest, shall be deposited into a cash flow escrow
account.  If cash flow in any month is insufficient to pay amounts due
under the loan, then the amounts may be withdrawn from the cash flow
escrow account.  Although management is attempting to refinance the loan,
there can be no assurance that a refinancing can be consummated.  If the
loan is not refinanced, it is likely that the loan will be in default and
that the Partnership's interest in Evanston Galleria could be
jeopardized.

Evanston Galleria has no single tenant which accounts for more then 10%
of the rentable area.  Occupancy in the apartments at Evanston Galleria
has remained in the 94% - 100% range during the last five years.  The
retail space has had a problem with tenant defaults, which has reduced
overall occupancy to as low as 80% in 1991.  As of December 31, 1996,
occupancy was 84%.  Average total rents received per square foot at the
property during the last three years were $19.57 in 1997, $21.85 in 1996
and $18.21 in 1995.

The residential leases have terms typically expiring in one year.  During
1998 residential leases representing $698,640 of annual rent will expire.
During the fourth quarter of 1997, Evanston Galleria collected $50,000 as
a settlement for past due rents.  Management has settled its legal
actions against the previously defaulted tenants.  Also during the fourth
quarter of 1997, management was successful in signing two new leases.  As
of December 31, 1997 occupancy was 83%.  However, a lease has been
entered into to lease the lower level space of 11,300 square feet which
has increased occupancy to over 93%, subsequent to December 31, 1997.
The Evanston Bible Fellowship has leased the lower level through
September 30, 2002.  Rents will be $45,142 in 1998, $69,486 in 1999,
$71,571 in 2000, $73,718 in 2001 and $56,523 in 2002.

As of October 1, 1997, the Evanston Galleria property was considered to
be held for sale.  In accordance with SFAS 121, no depreciation expense
relative to the property was recorded by the Partnership from October 1,
1997 through December 31, 1997.  The net book value of the Evanston
Galleria property at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $8,415,096 and
$8,675,592, respectively, and net loss from operations for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net of the Venture Partners share
were $90,086, $78,686 and $96,309, respectively.

Management believes that the Evanston Galleria property has adequate
insurance coverage.

     None


Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters

     As of December 31, 1997, there were 532 Limited Partners holding

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     On February 1, 1989, the Partnership commenced a public offering of
$10,000,000 of units of Limited Partnership interest (the "Units")
(subject to increase by an additional $5,000,000 of Units) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Partnership terminated the offering of Units on January 31, 1991,
having issued 10,000 Units, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and
net proceeds to the Partnership (after deducting offering costs and
selling discounts related to the purchase of Units by the General
Partners and their affiliates) of $4,058,963.

     At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents
of $1,659,443 as compared to $592,001 as of December 31, 1996.  The
increase in cash and cash equivalents results primarily from $991,000 of
net cash provided from the sale of Country Isles shopping center.  The
partnership made a distribution, to its Limited Partners, during the
first quarter of 1998, in the amount of$740,600.  Cash Flow from
operations has been sufficient to meet the Partnerships' obligations in
the past, however, past performance is not necessarily indicative of
future performance.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has no material commitments
for capital expenditures.  The Partnership does not anticipate any need
for external sources of liquidity.  As of October 1, 1997, the Evanston
Galleria property was considered to be held for sale.  In accordance with
SFAS 121, no depreciation expense relative to the property was recorded
by the Partnership from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.  The
net book value of the Evanston Galleria property at December 31, 1997 and
1996 was $8,415,096 and $8,675,592, respectively, and net loss from
operations for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net of
the Venture Partners share were $90,086, $78,686 and $96,309
respectively.

     As the Partnership intends to distribute all "net cash receipts" and
"sales proceeds" in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement, and does not intend to reinvest any such proceeds, the
Partnership is intended to be self-liquidating in nature.  The
Partnership's future source of liquidity and distributions is expected to
come from cash generated by the Partnership's investment properties and
from the sale and refinancing of such properties.  To the extent a
property does not generate adequate cash flow to meet its working capital
requirements, the Partnership may (i) withdraw funds from the working
capital reserve it maintains, (ii) fund such shortfall from excess cash
generated by other properties owned or (iii) pursue outside financing
sources.   However, the Partnership may decide not to, or may not be able
to, commit additional funds to certain of its investment properties.
Nonetheless, it is anticipated that the current and future capital
resources of the Partnership will be adequate to fund currently
anticipated short and long-term requirements of its investment portfolio
taken as a whole.

     There are certain risks and uncertainties associated with the
Partnership's investments made through joint ventures including the
possibility that the Partnership's joint venture partners in an
investment might become unable or unwilling to fulfill their financial or
other obligations, or that such joint venture partners may have economic
or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the
Partnership.  To date, the Partnership has not experienced any
significant detrimental impact from these uncertainties and risks, except
at Evanston Galleria as more fully described in Note 2 (b) to the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

     In response to the weakness in the real  estate industry,  the
Partnership is taking steps to preserve its working capital.  Therefore,
the Partnership carefully scrutinizes the appropriateness of any possible
discretionary expenditures, particularly as the discretionary
expenditures relate to the amount of working capital reserves the
Partnership has available. By conserving working capital, the Partnership
expects to be in a better position to meet future needs of its properties
without having to rely on external financing sources.  During 1997, the
Partnership working capital increased $1,156,086 from $327,393 at
December 31, 1996 to $1,483,479 at December 31, 1997.

Results of Operations:

     The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1997,
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 reflect the consolidated
operations of the Partnership and Sycamore Mall Associates (the "Sycamore
Partnership") and the Partnership's equity investments in Evanston
Galleria Limited Partnership (the "Galleria Partnership") and Country
Isles Associates ("Country  Isles").  The results of operations of the
Sycamore Partnership reflect the operations of the Sycamore Mall Shopping
Center.  The equity investment in the Galleria Partnership reflects the
Partnership's share of the operations of the Evanston Galleria.  The
equity investment in Country Isles reflects the Partnership's share of
the operations of the Country Isles Plaza Shopping Center.

Changes from 1995 to 1996:

     The Partnership's recognized net income of $80,871 in 1996 as
compared to a net loss in 1995 $23,117.  This improvement of $103,988
resulted primarily from an improvement in operating income of $101,971.
The loss allocated from Evanston Galleria was $96,309 in 1995 as compared
to $78,686 in 1996.  The improvement in operating  results from the
Evanston Galleria resulted from a reduction in operating expenses.  The
loss allocated from Country Isles in 1995 was $3,336 as compared to
income of $33,541 in 1996.  Operations at Country Isles improved from the
prior year as a result in a reduction in repairs and maintenance expenses
and a reduction in interest expense.  Maintenance expenses were higher in
1995 due to a non-recurring maintenance item and interest expense was
lower in 1996 as a result of the loan refinancing.

     The Partnership's rental income increased $11,351, less than 1%,
from $1,344,444 in 1995 to $1,355,795 in 1996.  Revenue from tenant
charges decreased $29,906 (5%) from $611,840 in 1995 to $581,934 in 1996.
This decrease is due to a decrease in operating expenses at Sycamore
Mall.  The tenant charges represent the tenants' reimbursement of certain
property operating expenses.

     Interest income increased $8,164 (86%) from $9,504 in 1995 to
$17,668 in 1996.  The increase results from the increase in cash reserves
which have been held and invested by the Partnership.

     Property operating expenses decreased to $871,550 for the year ended
December 31, 1996 from $913,541 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
This $41,991 (5%) decrease results primarily from an decrease of $61,485
in property taxes which was offset by increases other operating expenses.

     Interest expense decreased $64,965 (14%) from $454,551 in 1995 to
$389,586 in 1996.  Approximately $58,000 of the decrease resulted from
the reduction in the interest rate on the mortgage loan at Sycamore Mall.
The remaining $8,000 in reduction results from the repayment of mortgage
indebtedness throughout the year.

     Amortization expense decreased $26,457 from $36,656 during the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $10,199 during the year ended December 31,
1996.  This decrease is primarily due to the nonrecurring amortization of
the capitalized financing costs relating to the loan which was refinanced
in 1995.


Changes from 1996 to 1997:

     The Partnership's net income in 1997 increased $678,641 from $80,871
in 1996 to $759,512 in 1997.  This increase resulted primarily from the
Partnership's recognition of its share of the gain on the sale of the
Country Isles property in December 1997.  The Partnership's share of the
gain was $698,447.  The loss allocated from Evanston Galleria was $90,086
in 1997 as compared to $78,686 in 1996.  The decrease in operating
results from the Evanston Galleria resulted from increased vacancy in the
commercial spaces at Evanston Galleria.  The income allocated from
Country Isles in 1996 was $33,541 as compared to a gain of $81,007 in
1997.  Operations at Country Isles continued to improve from increased
rental rates and increased occupancy.

     The Partnership's rental income decreased $62,046 ( 5%) from
$1,355,795 in 1996 to $1,293,749 in 1997.  The decrease in rental income
results from an increase in vacancy at Sycamore Mall.  Occupancy fell
during the second quarter of 1996, although occupancy has been increasing
slightly since then, the overall average for the year  was a decrease in
occupancy.

     Revenue from tenant charges decreased $51,337 (9%) from $581,934 in
1996 to $530,597 in 1997.  The decrease in rental income results from an
increase in the average vacancy at Sycamore Mall, over the year.
<PAGE>

     Interest income increased $5,282 (30%) from $17,668 in 1996 to
$22,950 in 1997.  The increase results from the increase in cash reserves
which have been held and invested by the Partnership.

     Property operating expenses increased to $912,456 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 from $871,550 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This $40,906 (5%) increase results primarily from an increase in
maintenance and landscaping expenses at Sycamore Mall.

     Interest expense decreased $12,056 (3%) from $389,586 in 1996 to
$377,530 in 1997.  The reduction results from the repayment of $153,932
of mortgage indebtedness throughout the year.  Interest expense in 1998
is expected to decrease further as a result of the continued repayment of
the mortgage indebtedness.

     General and administrative expense decreased $7,205 (8%) from
$86,852 during the year ended December 31, 1996 to $79,647 during the
year ended December 31, 1997. This decrease resulted in a decrease in
administrative costs charged by an affiliate of the General Partner.



Inflation:

     The Partnership has completed its ninth full year of operations.
During the nine years the annual inflation rate has ranged from 3.01% to
5.40% with an average of 4.21%.  The effect which inflation has had on
income from operations is minimal primarily due to the weak real estate
market.

     Inflation in future periods may increase rental income levels (from
leases to new tenants  or renewals of existing leases) in accordance with
normal market conditions.  Such increases in rental income should offset
most  of  the adverse impact that inflation has on property operating
expenses with little effect on operating income.  Continued inflation may
also tend to cause capital appreciation of the Partnership's investment
properties over a period of time as rental rates and replacement costs of
properties continue to increase.


Asset Impairment:

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", on January 1, 1996.  SFAS 121
requires that the Partnership record an impairment loss on its property
held for investment whenever the property's carrying value cannot be
fully recovered through estimated undiscounted cash flows from its
operations and sale.  The amount of the impairment loss to be recognized
would be the difference between the property's carrying value and the
property's estimated fair value.  In addition, SFAS 121 provides that a
property may not be depreciated while being held for sale.  As of October
1, 1997, the Evanston Galleria property was considered to be held for
sale.  In accordance with SFAS 121, no depreciation expense relative to
the property was recorded from October 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.
The net book value of the Evanston Galleria property at December 31, 1997
and 1996 was $8,415,096 and $8,675,592, respectively, and net loss from
operations for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net of
the Venture Partners share were $90,086, $78,686 and $96,309
respectively.  The remaining properties are considered to be held for
investment at December 31, 1997.  The adoption of SFAS 121 had no effect
on the financial reporting relative to the properties held for
investment.


     Certain investment properties are pledged as security for the long-
term debt, for which there is no recourse to the Partnership, as
described in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Partners
First Dearborn Income Properties L.P. II

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of First Dearborn
Income Properties L.P. II (a limited partnership) and consolidated
venture as listed in the accompanying index.  In connection with our
audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the
financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index.  These
consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule
are the responsibility of the General Partners of the Partnership.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by the General Partners of the
Partnership, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First
Dearborn Income Properties L.P. II and consolidated venture as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

(1)  Organization and Basis of Accounting

     The Partnership was formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act by the recording of a Certificate of Limited
Partnership as of  May 19, 1988.  Initial capital contributions were
$1,000 by the General Partners and $1,000 by the Initial Limited Partner.
The Initial Limited Partner (an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner) withdrew as a Limited Partner upon the admission of the first
additional Limited Partners on October 16, 1989 when the initial closing
of the offering was consummated.  The Agreement of Limited Partnership
authorized the issuance of up to 20,000 additional Units (subject to
increase by an additional 10,000 Units) at $500 per Unit.  A total of
7,789 Units was subscribed for and issued between February 1, 1989 and
December 31, 1990.  An additional 2,211 Units were issued during 1991 of
which 1,669 Units were purchased by an affiliate of the General Partners
pursuant to its Agreement to Purchase Units.   The offering terminated on
January 31, 1991 at which time an aggregate 10,000 Units had been sold.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated venture - Sycamore Mall
Associates.  The effect of all transactions between the Partnership and
the venture has been eliminated.

     The equity method of accounting has been applied in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements with respect to the Partnership's
interest in Evanston Galleria Limited Partnership and Country Isles
Associates.

     The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes.  The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared from
such records after making appropriate adjustments, where applicable, to
present the Partnership's accounts in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP).  Such adjustments are not recorded for the
Partnership.  The net effect of these is as follows:

     The net income (loss) per limited partnership unit presented is

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
FIRST DEARBORN INCOME PROPERTIES L.P. II
(a limited partnership)
and Consolidated Venture

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

     Partnership distributions from unconsolidated ventures are
considered cash flow from operating activities to the extent of the
Partnership's cumulative share of net income.  In addition, the
Partnership records amounts held in U.S. Government obligations,
commercial paper and certificates of deposit at cost which approximates
market.  For the purposes of these statements, the Partnership's policy
is to consider all such investments, with an original maturity of three
months or less ($1,400,707 and $312,653 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively), as cash equivalents.

     Deferred offering costs were charged to the partners' capital
accounts upon consummation of the offering.  Deferred organization costs
were amortized over a 60-month period using the straight-line method.
Deferred loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related
agreements using the straight-line method.  Leasing commissions are
amortized over the terms of the related tenant leases using the straight-
line method.

     Depreciation on the investment properties acquired has been provided
over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 30 years using the straight-line
method.

     No provision for Federal income taxes has been made as any liability
for such taxes would be that of the partners rather than the Partnership.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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
those 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", on January 1, 1996.  SFAS
121 requires that the Partnership record an impairment loss on its
property held for investment whenever the property's carrying value
cannot be fully recovered through estimated undiscounted cash flows from
its operations and sale.  The amount of the impairment loss to be
recognized would be the difference between the property's carrying value
and the property's estimated fair value.  In addition, SFAS 121 provides
that a property may not be depreciated while being held for sale.  As of
October 1, 1997, the Evanston Galleria property was considered to be held
for sale.  In accordance with SFAS 121, no depreciation expense relative
to the property was recorded by the Partnership from October 1, 1997
through December 31, 1997.  The net book value of the Evanston Galleria
property at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $8,415,096 and $8,675,592,
respectively, and net loss from operations for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, net of the Venture Partners share were $90,086,
$78,686 and $96,309 respectively.  The remaining properties are
considered to be held for investment at December 31, 1997.  The adoption
of SFAS 121 had no effect on the financial reporting relative to the
properties held for investment.


(2)  Venture Agreements

     (a)  General

     The Partnership has entered into three joint venture agreements with
partnerships sponsored by affiliates of the General Partners.  Pursuant
to such agreements, the Partnership has made capital contributions
aggregating $3,652,066 through December 31, 1997.  The Partnership has
acquired, through these ventures, interests in a mixed use
retail/residential property and two shopping centers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

(b)  Evanston Galleria Limited Partnership

     On October 31, 1989, the Partnership acquired an interest in
Evanston Galleria Limited Partnership (the "Galleria Partnership") which
owns a 100% beneficial interest in the Evanston Galleria, a mixed-use
residential and retail  property  located in Evanston, Illinois.  The
property, located on a .79 acre site, contains 36,068 square feet of
rentable retail space and 55 loft apartments.  The Partnership's
acquisition of its interest was effected through its acquisition of an
18.30% general partnership interest in the Galleria Partnership from
First Dearborn Evanston Associates Limited Partnership ("Evanston
Associates"), an affiliate of the General Partners.  Evanston Associates
originally agreed to purchase a 76.67% interest in the Galleria
Partnership by agreeing to contribute an aggregate $2,313,125 to the
Galleria Partnership.  The Partnership acquired a portion of the 76.67%
general partnership interest on the same terms by contributing $552,066
for its 18.30% general partnership interest.  The seller retained a
23.33% limited partnership interest.

     The Partnership and Evanston Associates, as general partners of the
Galleria Partnership, have certain preferences from operating cash flow
and distributions from sales or refinancing.  Profits are generally
allocated in accordance with cash distributions (including preferences)
and then in accordance with the respective partner's interest.  Losses
are allocated first to partners with positive capital account balances
and then in accordance with the respective partner's interest.

     The limited partners ("Guarantors") of the Galleria Partnership had
provided the Partnership and Evanston Associates with a guaranty of
minimum rentals on certain retail space, maximum debt service levels and
maximum real estate tax expenses in the Galleria Partnership.  The
property has failed to perform as expected and the Galleria Partnership
has called upon the Guarantors to satisfy their obligations under the
guaranties.  The Guarantors have failed to fulfill their obligations to
the Partnership, and the General Partners have taken actions to protect
the rights of the Partnership, including receipt of an assignment in
favor of the Partnership of the Guarantors' limited partnership interests
in the Galleria Partnership of 5.57% and the receipt of security
interests in certain other limited partnership interests owned by the
Guarantors. Amounts owned pursuant to such guaranties which are secured
by the limited partners' partnership interests will be recorded upon
receipt.

     The property is managed by an affiliate of the General Partners.
During 1997 and 1996, management fees totaling $41,550 and $25,091,
respectively, were paid to an affiliate of the General Partners.  No
management fee was paid in 1995.

     The property was subject to a first mortgage which matured May 1,
1996.  Effective May 1, 1996, a modification of the first mortgage was
entered into which, among other modifications, extended the maturity of
the loan until May 1, 1998.  Commencing on May 1, 1996, monthly payments
were adjusted to $57,143, which represents interest only payments at an
annual rate of 8.25%, based on the outstanding principal balance of the
loan as of May 1, 1996.  Notwithstanding the pay rate of 8.25%, interest
on the loan continues to accrue and compound monthly on the unpaid
principal balance at the annual rate of 9.00%.  The interest
differential, as defined, will be paid only from proceeds resulting from
a sale or refinancing of the property or from any remaining funds in the
cash flow escrow.  The unpaid interest together with the unpaid principal
balance of the loan will be due and payable May 1, 1998.  Although
management is attempting to refinance the loan, there can be no assurance
that a refinancing can be consummated.  If the loan is not refinanced, it
is likely that the loan will be in default and that the Partnership's
interest in Evanston Galleria could be jeopardized.  All net cash flow
from the property, in excess of the payments due for interest, shall be
deposited into a cash flow escrow account.  If cash flow in any month is
insufficient to pay amounts due under the loan, then the amounts may be
withdrawn from the cash flow escrow account.

(c)  Sycamore Mall Associates

     On October 26, 1990,  the Partnership contributed $2,275,000 to
acquire a 53.40% general partnership interest in Sycamore Mall
Associates, a general partnership formed to acquire the Sycamore Mall
Shopping Center in Iowa City, Iowa.  The  property, situated on an
approximate 21.2 acre site, includes a main building containing 213,206
square feet and an out parcel building containing 27,000 square feet.  A
14,000 square foot parcel  which contains a 4,590 square foot building is
under a ground lease.  Sycamore Mall Associates acquired the property on
October 26, 1990 for a purchase price of $9,400,000, subject to a
purchase money note of $5,140,000 bearing interest at 10% payable
interest only until maturity on October 26, 1995.  On August 8, 1991,
Sycamore Mall Associates obtained a first mortgage in the amount of
$5,140,000 which bore interest at a rate of 9.625% payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of $45,355 commencing October 1,
1991 for 60 months until September 30, 1996.  The proceeds of this first
mortgage were used to repay the original purchase money note.  In October
1995, the first mortgage loan was modified.  The terms of the
modification reduced the interest rate to 8.125%, reduced the monthly
payments of principal and interest to $44,375 and extended the maturity
to March 1, 2002.

     First Dearborn Income Properties L.P., a public limited partnership
affiliated with the General Partners of the Partnership, and First
Dearborn Sycamore Associates Limited Partnership  ("FDSALP"), a privately
offered limited partnership also affiliated with the General Partners,
are the joint venture partners in Sycamore Mall Associates and
contributed a total of $1,075,000 and $910,000 for 25.24% and 21.36% of
the general partner interests, respectively.

     The terms of the Sycamore Mall Associates partnership agreement
provide that cash flow, sale or refinancing proceeds and profit and loss
will be distributed or allocated in proportion to the partners' ownership
interests.

     The property is managed by an affiliate of the General Partners and
an affiliate of the seller under a five year management agreement that
provides for a fee equal to 5% of the effective gross income, of which 1%
is paid to an affiliate of the General Partners.  During 1997, 1996 and
1995 the property incurred management fees of $93,053, $96,048 and
$97,270, respectively.

     (d)  Country Isles

     The Country Isles Shopping Center, located in the Weston community
of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is an approximately 106,000 square foot
retail shopping center containing approximately 71,000 square feet which
opened in 1986 and an additional expansion of approximately 35,000 square
feet which opened in 1989.  The Country Isles Shopping Center is managed
by an affiliate of the seller.

     On April 25, 1996, Country Isles Associates completed the
refinancing of Country Isles Plaza in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  The new
mortgage provided funding of $8,100,000, the proceeds of which were used
to repay the outstanding balance of $6,807,669 on the previous mortgage,
pay the costs of completing the new loan (approximately $174,000), and
provide for property tax escrow and working capital.  Out of the
remaining proceeds, the Partnership received a distribution of $210,650
from Country Isles Associates.  The Partnership made a special
distribution to the Limited Partners.  No significant impact to the
property is anticipated as a result of the increased mortgage
indebtedness.  As a result of the refinancing, the interest rate was
reduced from 9.75% to 7.00%, the monthly payments have decreased from
$60,141 to $57,250.  The mortgage was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2001.

     On December 17, 1997, Country Isles Associates,  sold the Country
Isles Shopping Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Principal Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("Buyer").  The total purchase price received by
Country Isles was $13.2 million, which price was determined through arm's
length negotiations with Buyer.  Of this total purchase price,
approximately $7.9 million was used to repay amounts owed to the lender
holding the mortgage on the shopping center and approximately $595,000
was used for customary additional selling expenses and prorations.  The
net proceeds to Country Isles after these deductions were approximately
$4.7 million. Of these proceeds, the Partnership received approximately
$991,000 for its 21% interest.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued


     Through March of 1992, Country Isles Shopping Center was managed by
Arvida Management, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership
which is affiliated with Arvida/JMB  Partners.  In March of 1992, JMB
Property Management, also an affiliate of Arvida/JMB Partners, became the
manager.  Both the previous and current Management Agreements provide
that the Manager will rent and manage the project for a term of five
years, and thereafter for yearly periods, unless otherwise terminated by
the parties in accordance with the agreement.  Country Isles Associates
shall pay the Manager a management fee in an amount equal to 4% of the
monthly operating revenues from the operation of the property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as the management  agent
notifies owner of its election to receive the management fee discussed
immediately above, Country Isles Associates shall pay the Manager, in
lieu of the management fee, an amount equal to 15% of amounts paid by
tenants at the project on account of reimbursement of operating expenses,
excluding taxes and insurance.  During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the property
incurred management fees of $68,600, $68,053, $ and $62,912,
respectively.

(4)  Partnership Agreement

     Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, net profits or
losses of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes from operations
generally will be allocated  99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partners.  Net profits for Federal income tax purposes from the
sale or refinancing of properties will be allocated as follows:  (i)
first, to the Partners who have a deficit capital account balance in an
amount equal to their deficit balance; (ii) second, to the Limited
Partners in an amount equal to their contributed capital plus a
stipulated return thereon; and (iii) thereafter, 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners.  Net losses from the sale or
refinancing of properties will be allocated as follows:   (i)  first, to
the Partners who have a positive capital account balance in an amount
equal to their positive balance; and (ii) thereafter, 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

     Operating Cash Flow, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, prior
to the date the public offering terminated was distributed 100% to the
Limited Partners.  Operating Cash Flow subsequent to termination of the
public offering will be distributed  during the first five years, 99% to
the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners and, thereafter, 90%
to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners subject to
certain limitations.  Sale or refinancing proceeds will be distributed
100% to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have received
their contributed capital plus a stipulated return thereon.  Any
remaining sale or refinancing proceeds will then be distributed 90% to
the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.

     For financial reporting purposes, net profits or losses from
operations are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partners.  The General Partners are not required to make any
capital contributions except under certain limited circumstances upon
dissolution and termination of the Partnership.


(5)  Leases

     The Partnership has determined that all leases relating to the
properties are properly classified as operating leases; therefore, rental
income is reported when earned and the cost of the property, excluding
