      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.
                           
         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           
1.                                                 The Partnership

Dean   Witter  Realty  Growth  Properties,  L.P.   (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in  1985
under  the laws of the State of Delaware.  The Managing
General  Partner  of  the Partnership  is  Dean  Witter
Realty Growth Properties Inc., which is wholly-owned by
Dean Witter Realty Inc. ("Realty").

The  financial statements include the accounts  of  the
Partnership, and in 1996, Braker Associates and Bayport
Ltd.'s investment in the Bayport Plaza Hyatt hotel on a
consolidated  basis.   The Partnership's  interests  in
Bayport  Ltd.'s investment in the Bayport Plaza  office
building  and,  in  1996, Peninsula/DW  Associates  are
accounted for on the equity method.

The  Partnership's remaining investment consists  of  a
46.25%  interest  in the Bayport Plaza office  building
joint  venture (the "Joint Venture").  The  Partnership
is  in  the  process of marketing for sale the  Bayport
Plaza office building.  The Partnership anticipates the
property will be sold in 1997 and the cash proceeds, if
any,  will be distributed 100% to the limited  parters.
However, there is no guarantee the investment  will  be
disposed  of in 1997.  The Partnership does not  expect
that   it   will   need  to  make  additional   capital
contributions to the Joint Venture.

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual
basis  of  accounting for financial reporting  and  tax
purposes.

Net  income  (loss) per Unit amounts are calculated  by
dividing   net  income  (loss)  allocated  to   Limited
Partners, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement,
by the weighted average number of Units outstanding.

In   the   opinion  of  management,  the   accompanying
financial  statements,  which have  not  been  audited,
include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
results       for       the       interim       period.

      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

Except  for the loss on real estate sold in 1996,  such
adjustments consist only of normal recurring accruals.

These   financial   statements  should   be   read   in
conjunction  with the annual financial  statements  and
notes  thereto  included  in the  Partnership's  annual
report  on  Form  10-K filed with  the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission for the year  ended  December  31,
1996.  Operating results of interim periods may not  be
indicative  of  the operating results  for  the  entire
year.

The   Financial  Accounting  Standards   Board   issued
Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards  No.  128,
"Earnings   per   Share"  in   February   1997.    This
pronouncement  establishes standards for computing  and
presenting earnings per share, and is effective for the
Partnership's 1997 year-end financial statements.   The
Partnership's  management  has  determined  that   this
standard  will  have  no impact  on  the  Partnership's
computation  or presentation of net income  (loss)  per
unit of limited partnership interest.

2.  Excess of Distributions and Losses Over Cost of Investments in
  Partnership

During  the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Bayport
Plaza  office building incurred revenues of $2,773,068,
operating  expenses of $2,395,135  and  net  income  of
$377,933.   Under  the  terms  of  the  joint   venture
agreement, all of the property's income and  cash  flow
from operations in 1997 and 1996 were allocated 100% to
another partner.

3. Related Party Transactions

Prior  to 1995, the Partnership borrowed funds from  an
affiliate  of Realty.  These borrowings were repaid  in
the  second  and  third  quarters  of  1996.   Interest
expense, calculated at the prime rate, was $224,461 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.
      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

Realty  performs  administrative  functions,  processes
investor transactions and prepares tax information  for
the  Partnership.  For the six months  ended  June  30,
1997  and  1996, the Partnership incurred  expenses  of
$38,094  and $89,387, respectively, for these services.
These    amounts   are   included   in   general    and
administrative expenses.
     
4. Litigation

Various   public  partnerships  sponsored   by   Realty
(including  the  Partnership and its  Managing  General
Partner)  are  defendants in a number of  class  action
lawsuits  pending  in  state and federal  courts.   The
complaints allege a variety of claims, including breach
of fiduciary duty, fraud, misrepresentation and related
claims,  and  seek compensatory and other  damages  and
equitable  relief.  The defendants intend to vigorously
defend the actions.

It  is  impossible to predict the effect, if  any,  the
outcome   of   these   actions  might   have   on   the
Partnership's financial statements.

      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership raised $78,594,000 in a public offering
which  was terminated in 1986.  The Partnership has  no
plans to raise additional capital.

The Partnership used the proceeds from the offering  to
make leveraged investments in five properties.  One  of
the  properties was lost through foreclosure  in  1992;
all  of the remaining properties other than the Bayport
Plaza  office  building were sold prior  to  1997.   No
additional investments are planned.

The  Partnership's remaining investment consists  of  a
46.25%  interest  in the Bayport Plaza office  building
joint  venture (the "Joint Venture").  The  Partnership
is  in  the  process of marketing for sale the  Bayport
Plaza office building.  The Partnership anticipates the
property will be sold in 1997 and the cash proceeds, if
any,  will be distributed 100% to the limited  parters.
However, there is no guarantee the investment  will  be
disposed  of in 1997.  The Partnership does not  expect
that   it   will   need  to  make  additional   capital
contributions to the Joint Venture.

The  Partnership does not expect that the Joint Venture
will  produce significant operating cash flow  for  the
Partnership  in the near future because  it  is  likely
such  cash  flow  will be distributed 100%  to  another
partner in accordance with the provisions of the  Joint
Venture  agreement.  Accordingly, the Partnership  will
not  realize  any  cash  from its remaining  investment
until  it  is  sold  or  refinanced.   The  Partnership
expects to incur minimal operating expenses until then,
and  believes it has sufficient cash reserves  to  fund
such expenses.

The    Partnership    does   not   anticipate    making
distributions  to its partners until the  Partnership's
remaining property investment is sold or refinanced.

      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

The   Partnership   believes  that   the   total   cash
distributed   to   the   Limited  Partners   (including
estimated cash to be realized from disposition  of  the
Bayport  Plaza office building) will be less  than  the
capital contributed by the Limited Partners.

In January 1997, the Partnership made a distribution to
Limited  Partners of approximately $10.7 million  ($136
per  Unit) from the net proceeds from the sale  of  its
joint  venture interest in Peninsula Office  Park,  the
sale  of  land  at  Braker  Center  and  the  remaining
proceeds  from  the  sale of the  Bayport  Plaza  Hyatt
hotel.

In   January   1997,  the  Partnership  collected   the
remaining sale proceeds receivable from the sale of its
joint venture interest in Peninsula Office Park.

Except  as  discussed  herein and in  the  consolidated
financial  statements, the Managing General Partner  is
not  aware  of  any trends, or events,  commitments  or
uncertainties  that  may  have  a  material  impact  on
liquidity.

Operations

Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for
the  three- and six-month periods ended June  30,  1997
compared  to  1996  are primarily attributable  to  the
following:

The  sale of the Bayport Plaza Hyatt Hotel in the third
quarter  of 1996 and of the Partnership's joint venture
interest  in  the Peninsula Office Park in  the  fourth
quarter  of  1996  resulted in the elimination  of  all
operating  revenues  and  expenses,  interest  expense,
depreciation, equity in losses of partnerships, and the
decrease in amortization in 1997.  The Partnership  was
not  entitled  to  an  allocation of  income  from  the
Bayport office building in 1997 and 1996.
      DEAN WITTER REALTY GROWTH PROPERTIES, L.P.

General  and administrative expenses decreased in  1997
compared  to  1996  as  a result of  the  reduction  of
operating activities of the Partnership.

A   summary   of  the  office  market  in   which   the
Partnership's  remaining property interest  is  located
and the performance of the property is as follows:

The  market vacancy rate for Class A buildings  in  the
Westshore market in Tampa, Florida, the location of the
Bayport office building, decreased to approximately  6%
during  the  second quarter of 1997.  With  little  new
office  supply  added  to this  market  over  the  past
several  years,  occupancy levels  have  increased  and
rental  rates  have  risen. Office  buildings  in  this
market continue to compete for quality tenants with  an
improving  downtown Tampa market; however, the  Bayport
office  building's accessibility to the  Tampa  airport
and  its  ability  to  offer free parking  continue  to
provide  competitive  advantages.   During  the  second
quarter of 1997, occupancy at the property increased to
100%.   Leases totalling approximately 17% and  11%  of
the  space  are scheduled to expire in 1998  and  1999,
respectively.

Inflation

Inflation has been consistently low during the  periods
presented in the financial statements and, as a result,
has  not had a significant effect on the operations  of
the Partnership or its properties.
