                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1

     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May
14, 2003 (the "Schedule TO") by Kenneth E. Nelson to purchase 30,000 units (the
"Units") of limited partnership assignee interests in Metric Partners Growth
Suite Investors, LP, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), at
$86 for each Unit, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less the amount
of any distributions declared or paid from any source by the Partnership with
respect to the Units after January 1, 2003 (without regard to the record date),
plus a release from certain litigation claims, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") and in
the related Agreement of Sale, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits
(a)(1) and (a)(3) (which are herein collectively referred to as the "Offer").
The information in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules and annexes
thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all
the items of this Statement, except as otherwise set forth below.

     Item 1--Summary Term Sheet

     The fourth question of the Summary Term Sheet is amended in its entirety to
read as follows:

- -Am I being sued? What can I do about it?

Yes, you and the other Limited Partners are named, as a class, as defendants in
a fraudulent transfer lawsuit filed in San Francisco as a result of the transfer
by the Partnership of $16.8 million in January, 1998. It is alleged that that
transfer was made to put assets out of the reach of the Partnership's creditors.
The suit seeks to force you to return that distribution, which was $275 per
Unit. $275 per Unit is your maximum liability in such action, and a judgment
against you in your personal capacity is sought. However, if you tender all of
your Units to me, and if I purchase any of your Units, you will be given a
release from liability in such lawsuit. See "THE OFFER--Section 1--Terms of the
Offer."



The question and answer section is supplemented as follows:

- -What if the general partners contest their removal?

My Offer is contingent upon the removal of the current general partners. Thus,
if the general partners contest their removal then payment for your Units will
be delayed, to the extent permitted by law. Should the general partners contest
their removal, I intend to extend the Offer, as appropriate, to permit a court
to make its decision. Upon the expiration of the Offer, as extended, payment
will be made promptly for the Units.

     Item 4--Terms of the Transaction

Section 5 is supplemented as follows: This Offer will be terminated only upon
the occurrence of certain of the specified conditions identified elsewhere in
this Offer. See "THE OFFER--SECTION 15--Conditions of the Offer."

Section 15 is supplemented as follows: Anything to the contrary notwithstanding,
all conditions to the Offer must be satisfied or waived prior to the expiration
of the Offer, as extended.

     Item 7--Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Section 13 is supplemented as follows: The Loan has not yet been made. The Loan
will be made upon the satisfaction of all conditions to the Offer, and will
allow me to promptly pay you for your Units. At such time as the Loan is made,
the Units will be the collateral for the Loan. While I have a negative net worth
in excess of $10 million (meaning my liabilities exceed my assets), I am able to
meet my obligations in a timely manner, other than my obligations to GP Credit.
GP Credit has determined that the Units are sufficient collateral to justify the
making of the Loan.

     Item 12--Exhibits

     Item 12 is hereby amended as follows:

Exhibit (a)(2), previously identified as a transmittal letter, is hereby
identified as a cover letter.

     The following exhibits, which are attached, are added:

     (a)(6) Letter to Unitholders dated June 19, 2003.
     (a)(7) Press release dated June 19, 2003



                                    SIGNATURE

     After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify
that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

Dated: June 25, 2003

Kenneth E. Nelson

Mequon, WI 53092

June 19, 2003

                           Offer To Purchase Units in
                   Metric Partners Growth Suite Investors, LP
       For $86 Net per Unit (plus release from certain litigation claims)

Dear Limited Partner:

I hereby extend the expiration date of the solicitation period for my offer
dated May 14, 2003 to and including October 31, 2003. The Managing General
Partner ("MGP") has recommended that you not tender your Units to me. In support
of such recommendation, the MGP made a number of false statements, and also
failed to disclose certain conflicts of interest it has with respect to the
tender offer. The MGP has filed a lawsuit against me to prevent me from
purchasing your Units. This lawsuit is baseless, and I will contest it
vigorously. The extension of the solicitation period is intended to give the
court time to resolve the issues in such litigation, and then to allow the
tender to be completed.

You should consider the credibility of the MGP in recommending that you not
tender your Units. Among the factors you might consider are:

- -The MGP admits, in the Complaint initiating the lawsuit referenced above, that
$86 is a fair value for the units.

- -The MGP did not oppose a tender offer for just $20 per Unit last year, yet
opposes this Offer for $86. The $20 offer did not call for a change in
management, while this Offer does.

- -The MGP was unable to determine a Net Asset Value in the annual report dated
March 21, 2003, but now tells you that your Units are worth $139 per Unit.

- -The MGP states that Orlando Residence, Ltd. holds a Tennessee judgment against
me. This is not true. The MGP knows that the judgment has been reversed.

- -The MGP tells you that the existence of a receiver could jeopardize my purchase
of your Units. However, the appointment of the receiver in Tennessee state court
has been determined to be a nullity by the Federal District Court for the
Eastern District of Wisconsin, which has also determined that GP Credit Co.,
LLC, properly purchased the claims against the Partnership once held by
Nashville Lodging Co.

In responses to comments from the SEC, the Offer is amended to include the
following information.

The question and answer section is revised as follows:

- -Am I being sued? What can I do about it?

Yes, you and the other Limited Partners are named, as a class, as defendants in
a fraudulent transfer lawsuit filed in San Francisco as a result of the transfer
by the Partnership of $16.8 million in January, 1998. It is alleged that that
transfer was made to



put assets out of the reach of the Partnership's creditors. The suit seeks to
force you to return that distribution, which was $275 per Unit. $275 per Unit is
your maximum liability in such action, and a judgment against you in your
personal capacity is sought. However, if you tender all of your Units to me, and
if I purchase any of your Units, you will be given a release from liability in
such lawsuit. See "THE OFFER--Section 1--Terms of the Offer."

The question and answer section is supplemented as follows:

- -What if the general partners contest their removal?

My Offer is contingent upon the removal of the current general partners. Thus,
if the general partners contest their removal then payment for your Units will
be delayed, to the extent permitted by law. Should the general partners contest
their removal, I intend to extend the Offer, as appropriate, to permit a court
to make its decision. Upon the expiration of the Offer, as extended, payment
will be made promptly for the Units.

Section 5 is supplemented as follows: This Offer will be terminated only upon
the occurrence of certain of the specified conditions identified elsewhere in
this Offer. See "THE OFFER--SECTION 15--Conditions of the Offer."

Section 13 is supplemented as follows: The Loan has not yet been made. The Loan
will be made upon the satisfaction of all conditions to the Offer, and will
allow me to promptly pay you for your Units. At such time as the Loan is made,
the Units will be the collateral for the Loan. While I have a negative net worth
in excess of $10 million (meaning my liabilities exceed my assets), I am able to
meet my obligations in a timely manner, other than my obligations to GP Credit.
GP Credit has determined that the Units are sufficient collateral to justify the
making of the Loan.

Section 15 is supplemented as follows: Anything to the contrary notwithstanding,
all conditions to the Offer must be satisfied or waived prior to the expiration
of the Offer, as extended.
