Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004

Item 6. Selected Financial Data, page 4

1. Please advise us how your presentation of FFO satisfies all of the provisions of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, which includes, but is not limited to, a statement disclosing how the Company`s management uses this measure and why they believe it provides useful information to investors regarding your financial condition and the results of operations. Further, tell us your basis for adding back unamortized loan costs written off as this appears to be a recurring item not within the NAREIT definition of FFO. Provide us your proposed disclosures to demonstrate that you will fully comply with all of the provisions of Item 10 (e) of Regulation S-K or remove the reference to such measure in future filings.

Note 4., Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, page

2. We note that you entered into contracts with separate unrelated parties to sell the Fox Run Apartments and a restaurant property in 2004. We also note that there are a number of contingencies to be resolved before the sales are consummated in 2005. Tell us what these contingencies are, and how you considered paragraph 30 (b) of FAS 144.

* * * * As appropriate, please respond to these comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide us with a response. Please file your response on EDGAR. Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your responses to our comments.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require for an informed decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filings; and

* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filings or in response to our comments on your filings.

You may contact Kelly McCusker, Staff Accountant, at (202) 551- or the undersigned at (202) 551-3413 if you have questions.
