PART I
Item 1. Business.
(a) General
Registrant, a partnership, was organized on March 21,
1958. Registrant owns the tenant's interest in the master
operating leasehold of the buildings located at 500 and 512
Seventh Avenue and 228 West 38th Street, New York, New York (the
"Property"). Registrant's partners are Peter L. Malkin and
Stanley Katzman (the "Partners"). The land underlying the
buildings is owned by an unaffiliated third party and is leased to
Registrant under a long-term ground lease (the "Lease"). The
current term of the Lease as extended expires on May 1, 2024. The
Lease provides for one additional 21-year renewal option. If this
option is exercised, the Lease will expire on May 1, 2045. The
annual rent payable by Registrant under the Lease is $487,500
during the current and each renewal term.
Registrant does not operate the Property, but subleases
the Property to 500-512 Seventh Avenue Associates (the
"Sublessee") pursuant to a net operating sublease (the
"Sublease"). The current renewal term, as extended, of the
Sublease will expire on April 30, 2024. The Sublease provides for
one renewal option for a term co-extensive with the period
contained in the Lease. Peter L. Malkin, a partner in Registrant,
is also a partner in Sublessee. The Partners in Registrant are
also members of the law firm of Wien & Malkin LLP, counsel to
Registrant and to Sublessee (the "Counsel"). See Items 10, 11, 12
and 13 hereof for a description of the ongoing services rendered
by, and compensation paid to, Counsel and for a discussion of
certain relationships which may pose actual or potential conflicts
of interest among Registrant, Sublessee and certain of their
respective affiliates.
As of December 31, 1996, 500 Seventh Avenue was
approximately 59% occupied and 512 Seventh Avenue was
approximately 70% occupied by a total (for the two buildings) of
approximately 180 tenants who engage primarily in the sale of
women's apparel. Registrant does not maintain a full-time staff.
See Item 2 hereof for additional information concerning the
Property.
(b) The Sublease
Under the Sublease, Sublessee must pay (i) annual basic
rent of $1,167,500 during the current renewal term and each
additional renewal term (the "Basic Rent") and (ii) additional
rent to Registrant during the current term and each renewal term
equal to 50% of Sublessee's net operating profit in excess of
$620,000 for each lease year ending June 30 (the "Additional
Rent").
For the lease year ended June 30, 1996, Sublessee paid
Additional Rent of $1,071,252. After additional payment for
supervisory services of $97,525 to Counsel, the $973,727 balance
was distributed to the Participants on August 31, 1996.
Additional Rent income is recognized when earned from
the Sublessee, at the close of the lease year ending June 30.
Such income is not determinable until the Sublessee, pursuant to
the Sublease, renders to Registrant a certified report on the
Sublessee's operation of the Property. The Sublease requires that
this report be delivered to Registrant annually within 60 days
after the end of each such lease year. Accordingly, all
Additional Rent income and certain supervisory service expense can
only be determined after the receipt of such report. The Lease
does not provide for the Lessee to render interim reports to
Registrant, so no Additional Rent income is reflected for the
period between the end of the lease year and the end of
Registrant's fiscal year. See Note 3 of the Notes to the
Financial Statements filed under Item 8 hereof (the "Notes")
regarding Additional Rent payments by Sublessee for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
(c) Competition
Pursuant to tenant space leases at the Property, the
average annual base rentals payable to Sublessee range from $8 to
$25 per square foot (exclusive of electricity charges and
escalation). Based on an average rental rate of $16 per square
foot, the rate is competitive with the average rental rates
charged by similar office buildings offering comparable space in
the immediate vicinity. Registrant has been advised that at one
neighboring office building, which has upgraded certain interior
improvements and is located at 485 Seventh Avenue (at 36th
Street), the approximate range of rental rates is from $20 to $22
per square foot. Two similar buildings of approximately the same
age as the buildings at the Property, and which are located across
the street from each other at 530 Seventh Avenue and 550 Seventh
Avenue (at 39th Street), offer space for approximately $25 to $30
per square foot. At 1407 Broadway and 1411 Broadway, the
approximate range of rental rates is from $30 to $35 per square
foot for space in buildings which offer more modern, upgraded
facilities than the buildings at the Property.
In the overall rental market for commercial space in
Manhattan, rents range from approximately $50 per square foot for
prime office space to approximately $12 per square foot in less
developed industrial and/or secondary commercial areas.
-2-
Accordingly, rents at the Property may be considered competitive
in the area, given the relative condition of surrounding buildings
and the nature of the services and amenities offered by them as
compared to the Building.
(d) Tenant Leases
Sublessee operates the Property free from any federal,
state or local government restrictions involving rent control or
other similar rent regulations which may be imposed upon
residential real estate in Manhattan. Any increase or decrease in
the amount of rent payable by a tenant is governed by the
provisions of the tenant's lease.
Item 2. Property.
As stated in Item 1 hereof, Registrant owns the master
leasehold upon the buildings located at 500 and 512 Seventh
Avenue, New York, New York. The building at 500 Seventh Avenue
contains 17 stories; the building at 512 Seventh Avenue contains
44 stories. The buildings together occupy the entire block front
on the west side of Seventh Avenue between 37th and 38th Streets
in New York City's Garment District. Pursuant to the Lease,
Registrant also holds a master leasehold interest in an adjacent
5-story building located at 228 West 38th Street. The two
principal buildings, erected in 1921 and 1931, respectively,
contain showroom, office and loft space.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which
Registrant is a party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Participants.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, Registrant did not submit any matter to the
vote or consent of the Participants.
-3-
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Security Holder Matters.
Registrant is a partnership organized pursuant to a
partnership agreement dated March 21, 1958.
Registrant has not issued any common stock. The
securities registered by it under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, consisted of participations in the partnership
interests of the Partners in Registrant (the "Participations") and
are not shares of common stock nor their equivalent. The
Participations represent each Participant's fractional share in a
Partner's undivided interest in Registrant, and are divided
approximately equally among the Partners. A full unit of the
Participations was offered originally at a purchase price of
$5,000; fractional units were also offered at proportionate
purchase prices. Registrant has not repurchased Participations in
the past and it is not likely to change its policy in the future.
(a) The Participations neither are traded on an
established securities market nor are readily tradable on a
secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Based on
Registrant's transfer records, Participations are sold from time
to time in privately negotiated transactions and, in many
instances, Registrant is not aware of the prices at which such
transactions occur. Registrant was advised of 32 transfers of
Participations for the year ended December 31, 1996. In all
instances, the consideration paid was not indicated.
(b) As of December 31, 1996, there were 600
Participants of record.
(c) Registrant does not pay dividends. During the
years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, Registrant
made regular monthly distributions of $83.33 for each $5,000
Participation. On August 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995, Registrant
made additional distributions for each $5,000 Participation of
$1,521.45 and $1,197.24, respectively. Such distributions
represented Additional Rent paid by the Sublessee in accordance
with the terms of the Sublease less additional supervisory fees
paid. There are no restrictions on Registrant's present or future
ability to make distributions; however, the amount of such
distributions, particularly distributions of Additional Rent,
depends solely on Sublessee's ability to make payments of Basic
Rent and Additional Rent to Registrant. See Item 1 hereof.
Registrant expects to make distributions so long as it receives
the payments provided for under the Sublease. See Item 7 hereof.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
Registrant was organized solely for the purpose of
owning the master leasehold on the Property subject to a net
operating sublease of the Property held by Sublessee. Registrant
is required to pay from Basic Rent the annual rent under the Lease
and amounts for supervisory services. Registrant distributes the
balance of such Basic Rent to the Participants. Pursuant to the
Sublease, Sublessee has assumed sole responsibility for the
condition, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the
Property. Registrant need not maintain substantial reserves or
otherwise maintain liquid assets to defray any operating expenses
of the Property.
Registrant's results of operations are affected
primarily by the amount of rent payable to it under the Sublease.
The following summarizes the material factors affecting
Registrant's results of operations for the three preceding years:
(a) Total income increased for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995.
Such increase is attributable to the increased amount of
Additional Rent having been received by Registrant for
the lease year ended June 30, 1996. See Note 3 of the
Notes. Total income increased for the year ended
December 31, 1995 as compared with the year ended
December 31, 1994. Such increase is attributable to the
increased amount of Additional Rent having been received
by Registrant for the lease year ended June 30, 1995.
See Note 3 of the Notes.
(b) Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995.
Such increase resulted from an increase in the
additional payment for supervisory services payable with
respect to an increased amount of Additional Rent
received by Registrant in 1996. See Note 5 of the
Notes. Total expenses increased for the year ended
December 31, 1995 as compared with the year ended
December 31, 1994. Such increase resulted from an
increase in the additional payment for supervisory
services payable with respect to an increased amount of
Additional Rent received by Registrant in 1995 net of a
decrease in amortization of leasehold. See Note 5 of
the Notes.
The amount of Additional Rent payable to Registrant is
affected by the cycles in the New York City economy, the ladies'
garment industry and the real estate rental market. It is
difficult for Registrant to forecast when these markets will
improve or deteriorate.
-6-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
There has been no significant change in Registrant's
liquidity for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared with
the year ended December 31, 1995.
Inflation
Inflationary trends in the economy do not directly
impact Registrant's operations, since as noted above, Registrant
does not actively engage in the operation of the Property.
Inflation may impact the operations of Sublessee. Sublessee is
required to pay Basic Rent, regardless of the results of its
operations. Inflation and other operating factors affect only the
amount of Additional Rent payable by Sublessee, which is based on
Sublessee's net operating profit.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

report by, and the consent to the use thereof, of Jacobs Evall &
Blumenfeld LLP immediately following, are being filed in response

Item 9. Disagreements on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

potential conflicts of interest among Registrant, Sublessee and
certain of their respective affiliates.
The names of entities which have a class of securities

Stanley Katzman is a joint venturer in 250 West 57th St.
Associates; and a general partner in Empire State
Building Associates, Garment Capitol Associates and 60
East 42nd St. Associates.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
As stated in Item 10 hereof, Registrant has no directors
or officers or any other centralization of management.
No remuneration was paid during the current fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996 by Registrant to any of the Partners as
such. Registrant pays Counsel, for supervisory services and
disbursements, fees of $40,000 per annum, plus 10% of all
distributions to Participants in any year in excess of the amount
representing 23% per annum on the Participants' remaining cash
investment in Registrant. At December 31, 1996, such remaining
cash investment (representing the Participant's original cash
investment) in Registrant was $3,200,000. Pursuant to the fee
arrangements described herein, Registrant paid Counsel $137,525
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The supervisory
services include the preparation of reports and related
documentation required by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the monitoring of all areas of federal and local securities
compliance, the preparation of certain financial reports, as well
as the supervision of accounting and other documentation related
to the administration of Registrant's business. Out of its fees,
Counsel paid all disbursements and costs of regular accounting
services. As noted in Items 1 and 10 hereof, the Partners in
Registrant are also among the members of Counsel.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management.
(a) Registrant has no voting securities (see Item 5
hereof). At December 31, 1996, no person owned of record or was
known by Registrant to own beneficially more than 5% of the
outstanding Participations.
-9-
(b) At December 31, 1996, the Partners in Registrant
(see Item 10 hereof) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
the following Participations:

Address of Amount of
Beneficial Beneficial Percent
Title of Class Owners Ownership of Class
Participations in Peter L. Malkin $ 33,125 1.035
Partnership 21 Bobolink Lane
Interests Greenwich, CT 06830
At such date, certain of the Partners (or their
respective spouses) held additional Participations as follows:
Isabel W. Malkin, the wife of Peter L. Malkin, owned of
record and beneficially $5,000 of Participations. Mr. Malkin
disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations.
Peter L. Malkin, Trustee of Mattie Saunders 1983 Trust,
owned $2,500 of Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims any
beneficial ownership of such Participations.
Stanley Katzman owned of record as trustee but not
beneficially $5,000 of Participations. Mr. Katzman disclaims any
beneficial ownership of such Participations.
(c) Not applicable.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
(a) As stated in Items 1 and 10 hereof, Messrs. Peter
L. Malkin and Stanley Katzman are the Partners of Registrant and
also act as agent for the Participants in their respective
partnership interests. Mr. Malkin is also a partner in Sublessee.
As a consequence of Mr. Malkin being a partner in Sublessee and
both Mr. Malkin and Mr. Katzman being members of Counsel, certain
actual or potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect
to the management and administration of the business of
Registrant. However, under the respective participating
agreements pursuant to which Mr. Malkin and Mr. Katzman act as
agents for the Participants, certain transactions require the
prior consent from Participants owning a specified interest under
the Agreements in order for them to act on their behalf. Such
-10-
transactions include modifications and extensions of the Lease and
the Sublease or a sale or other disposition of the Property or
substantially all of Registrant's other assets.
See Item 1 for a description of the terms of the
Sublease. The interest of Mr. Malkin in the Sublease arises
solely from the ownership of his partnership interest in
Sublessee, and he receives no extra or special benefit not shared
on a pro rata basis with all other partners in Sublessee, except
that Mr. Malkin and Mr. Katzman, by reason of their respective
interests in Counsel, are entitled to receive their pro rata share
of any legal fees or other remuneration paid to Counsel for legal
services rendered to Registrant and Sublessee. See Item 11 hereof
for a description of the remuneration arrangements between
Registrant and Counsel relating to supervisory services provided
by Counsel.
See Items 1 and 10 hereof for a description of the
relationship between Registrant and Counsel, of which the Partners
in Registrant are among its members. The interest of each of Mr.
Malkin and Mr. Katzman in any remuneration paid or given by
Registrant to Counsel arises solely from such person's ownership
of an interest in Counsel. See Item 11 hereof for a description
of the remuneration arrangements between Registrant and Counsel
relating to supervisory services provided by Counsel.
(b) Reference is made to paragraph (a) above.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Not applicable.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the participants in Navarre-500 Building Associates
(a Partnership)
New York, N. Y.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Navarre-500 Building
Associates as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of income, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996, and the supporting financial
statement schedule as contained in Item 14(a)(2) of this Form 10-K.
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Navarre-500
Building Associates as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, and the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NAVARRE-500 BUILDING ASSOCIATES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business Activity
Navarre-500 Building Associates ("Associates") is a general partnership
which holds the tenant's position in the master leasehold of property
situated at 500 and 512 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York. Associates'
building is located in the heart of New York City's "Garment District"
and its tenants are almost exclusively in the garment business.
Associates subleases the property to 500-512 Seventh Avenue Associates.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Real Estate and Amortization of Leasehold:
Real estate, consisting of leasehold, is stated at cost. In 1978,
Associates exercised its first renewal option on the lease.
Amortization of the leasehold was being computed by the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of 25 years, 4 months, from
January 1, 1978 to May 1, 2003. The second renewal option for a period
of 21 years through May 1, 2024, was exercised in October 1995 (see
Note 4) and the estimated life of the leasehold was revised as of
January 1, 1995 to 29 years and 4 months until May 1, 2024. The effect
of this change was to increase net income in 1995 by $16,441, or $26
per $5,000 participation unit based on 640 participation units
outstanding during the year.
Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management often makes estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
3. Related Party Transactions - Rent Income
Rent income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
represents the annual basic rent of $1,167,500, under an operating
sublease, as modified, with 500-512 Seventh Avenue Associates (the
"Sublessee"), plus payments of additional rent. Additional rent is
payable in an amount equal to 50% of the Sublessee's defined net income
from operations for lease years ending June 30th.
For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, additional rent of
$1,071,252, $840,704 and $503,579 was earned for the lease years ended
June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
No additional rent is accrued by Associates for the period between the
end of the Sublessee's lease year ending June 30th and the end of
Associates' fiscal year ending December 31st.

3. Related Party Transactions - Rent Income (continued)
In 1995, the Sublessee exercised its renewal option for the second
renewal term commencing May 1, 2003 and ending April 30, 2024. Renewal
privileges for one additional term of 21 years may extend the sublease
to April 30, 2045 at an annual basic rent of $1,167,500 during the
renewal period.
A partner in Associates is also a partner in the Sublessee.
4. Leasehold Rent
Leasehold rent paid during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 consists of the annual net rent of $487,500 under an operating
leasehold, as modified, with GSL Enterprises, Inc. In 1995, Associates
exercised its option to renew the lease for the second renewal period
from May 2, 2003 to May 1, 2024. A renewal option is available for one
additional term of 21 years extending the leasehold to May 1, 2045;
during the renewal periods the rent payable remains at $487,500 per year.
5. Related Party Transactions - Supervisory Services
Supervisory services (including disbursements and cost of regular
accounting services) during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, totaling $137,525, $114,470 and $80,758, respectively, were paid
to the firm of Wien, Malkin & Bettex LLP. Some members in that firm are
partners in Associates. Fees for supervisory services are paid pursuant
to an agreement, which amount is based on a rate of return of investment
achieved by the participants of Associates each year.
6. Number of Participants
There were approximately 600 participants in the two participating groups
at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
7. Determination of Distributions to Participants
Distributions to participants during each year represent the excess of
rent income received over the cash expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8. Distributions and Amount of Income per $5,000 Participation Unit
Distributions per $5,000 participation unit during the years 1996, 1995
and 1994, based on 640 participation units outstanding during each year,
consisted of the following:
Year ended December 31,
1996 1995 1994
Income.......................... $2,511 $2,187 $1,687
Return of capital............... 10 10 36
TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS......... $2,521 $2,197 $1,723
Net income is computed without regard to income tax expense since
Associates does not pay a tax on its income; instead, any such taxes are
paid by the participants in their individual capacities.
9. Concentration of Credit Risk
Associates maintains cash balances in a bank, and in a distribution
account held by Wien, Malkin & Bettex LLP which is not insured. The
funds held in the distribution account were paid to the participants on
January 1, 1997.
