Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have the following comment on the above-referenced filing.

Cover Page of Schedule TO-I

1. Refer to your two responses to both of our prior comments 1. Advise us of the matters upon which limited partners are entitled to vote under the limited partnership agreement. In addition, we note that affiliates of Apollo Real Estate Fund III, executive officers of Winthrop Financial Associates and affiliates of Vornado Realty Trust own and control the general partner of your partnership (page 12 of your offer). It appears that these parties, by virtue of their direct and indirect control of your general partner, would play a significant role in initiating, structuring and negotiating the offer, and generally control the terms of the offer. We also note that, while these parties will not directly own the units purchased in connection with the offer, the percentage of beneficial ownership of units held in your partnership by these parties will increase as a result of the tender offer. As a result, it appears that these parties need to be identified as offerors in the tender offer. Refer to Instruction K (1) to Schedule TO. Finally, note that these parties are required to file a Schedule TO-T to the extent they are determined to be third party offerors and the issuer would need to file a corresponding Schedule 14D-9.

Closing Information

Please amend your filing promptly to comply with our comment. If you do not agree with the comment, please tell us why in your response. If the information you provide in response to our comment materially changes the information that you have already provided to unit holders, disseminate the revised materials in a manner reasonably calculated to inform them of the new information. Depending upon your response to this comment, a supplement may need to be sent to unit holders.

Please direct any questions to me at (202) 942-2962 or, in my absence, to Nicholas Panos, Special Counsel, at (202) 942-2920. You may also contact me via facsimile at (202) 942-9585. Please send All correspondence to us at the following ZIP code: 20549-0306.
