Note 14.  Investment in Partnerships, page F-16

1. Please explain to us how you considered NERA`s relationships
with
the other investors in evaluating paragraph 5(c) of FIN 46 (R) to
determine whether any of the six limited partnerships are variable
interest entities.

2. Related to Hamilton Place and 1025 Hamilton, please advise us
how
you considered the guidance in Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X in
concluding that financial statements for these investments were
not
required to be filed.

*    *    *    *
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 comment, 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-
3433
