ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This statement relates to units of limited partnership interest and
assignments of interest therein (the "Units"), of Arvida/JMB Partners, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"). The principal executive
offices of the Partnership are located at 900 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois 60611.

ITEM 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a)      This statement is being filed jointly by St. Joe Capital II,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), and The St. Joe Company, a Florida
corporation and the owner of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Purchaser
("Parent" and, together with Purchaser, the "Reporting Persons"). The Reporting
Persons are filing this statement jointly pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement.

         (b)      The business address of Parent is 1650 Prudential Drive, Suite
400, Jacksonville, Florida 32207. The business address of Purchaser is c/o
Griffin Corporate Services, 300 Delaware Avenue, 9th Floor, Wilmington, Delaware
19801.

         (c)      The principal business of Purchaser is holding investment
securities. Parent is a diversified real estate development and services
company.

         (d)      During the last five years, neither Reporting Person, nor any
of their respective directors or executive officers, has been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

         (e)      During the last five years, neither Reporting Person, nor any
of their respective directors or executive officers, has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and,
as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         The amount of funds used to purchase the Units was $45,666,189, all of
which amount was funded by available cash of the Parent.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Reporting Persons acquired the Units on December 22, 1998, pursuant
to a Buy/Sell Agreement dated as of November 6, 1998, among Raleigh Capital
Associates, L.P., American Real Estate Partners, L.P., Parent and Arvida/JMB
Managers, Inc. The Reporting Persons acquired the units in order to obtain an
equity position in the Partnership. The Reporting Persons intend to review on a
continuing basis their investment in the Units in light of the factors discussed
herein.

         The Reporting Persons may from time to time, subject to the continuing
evaluation of the factors discussed herein, acquire additional units in
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any such actions the Reporting
Persons might undertake will be dependent upon their review of numerous factors,
including, among other things, the availability of units for purchase and the
price levels of such units; general market and economic conditions; on-going
evaluation of the Partnership's business, financial condition, operations and
prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment
opportunities; the actions of the management and the General Partner of the
Partnership; the relationship between the Partnership and St. Joe Arvida
Company, L.P., in which Parent owns a majority interest and which provides a
portion of the development and management supervisory and advisory services to
the Partnership; and other future developments.

         Depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may,
from time to time, retain or sell all or a portion of the Units in privately
negotiated transactions.
