Re: 1999 Broadway Associates Limited Partnership Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 File No. 000-20273

Dear Ms. Luckey:

We are responding on behalf of 1999 Broadway Associates Limited Partnership ("1999 Broadway") to your letter of comment, dated April 19, 2005, with respect to the above-referenced filing by 1999 Broadway with respect to 1999 Broadway's 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In this regard, this letter will respond to the one comment set forth in your letter of April 19, 2005.

Comment: As stated on page 21, "Deferred Lease Termination Fee has been deferred and is being amortized into income for financial statement purposes until such time as a new tenant occupies the vacated space." Supplementally tell us what the basis in GAAP was for determining when to recognize the termination fee into income.

Response: 1999 Broadway Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a publicly held but not traded limited partnership which owns a single office building with a garage.

In December 2001, a tenant paid a lease termination fee to the Partnership. The property mortgage holder maintained control of the cash proceeds in a reserve account to be used for future tenant improvements. We believe that the proceeds of the lease termination fee would not immediately accrue to the benefit of the Partnership; therefore, the Partnership amortized the fee to income to more closely match the anticipated cash benefits to be received.

Sincerely,

/s/ Thomas C. Staples Thomas C. Staples

Partnership ("1999 Broadway") to your letter of comment, dated April 19, 2005,
with respect to the above-referenced filing by 1999 Broadway with respect to
1999 Broadway's 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

      In this regard, this letter will respond to the one comment set forth in

and is being amortized into income for financial statement purposes until such
time as a new tenant occupies the vacated space." Supplementally tell us what
the basis in GAAP was for determining when to recognize the termination fee into
income.

Response: 1999 Broadway Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a
publicly held but not traded limited partnership which owns a single office
building with a garage.

      In December 2001, a tenant paid a lease termination fee to the
Partnership. The property mortgage holder maintained control of the cash
