Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

       Bradley Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") files
this Form 8-K report that contains financial statements consistent with
Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14, for properties (the "Acquisition Properties")
accounting for over 50% of the aggregate acquisition costs of a series of
properties acquired during the period January 1, 1998 through May 12, 1998 or
which it is probable that the Operating Partnership will acquire. (See Item 7.)

       During this period, six shopping centers were acquired for a total
acquisition price of approximately $54.1 million. In addition, as of May 12,
1998, the Operating Partnership has entered into contracts for the purchase of
an additional five shopping centers and two outlots adjacent to one of such
centers for an estimated total acquisition price of approximately $40.5 million.
Although the Company deems such acquisitions as probable, there can be no
assurance that the acquisition of any of such properties will be consummated, or
that the acquisition price will approximate those currently estimated. No one
acquisition or group of related acquisitions was in itself significant, but in
the aggregate such acquisition costs exceeded 10% of the total assets of the
Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries consolidated at December 31, 1997.
The acquisitions completed to date were funded with cash provided by the
Operating Partnership's bank line of credit. Management currently expects to
fund the probable acquisitions with the bank line of credit although there can
be no assurance that it will do so.

       The dates, shopping centers acquired of and the approximate acquisition
cost for the respective centers are as follows:

       Properties designated with an asterisk (*) are properties included within
the Acquisition Properties for which the financial statements accompany this
report. None of such Acquisition Properties was acquired from a related party of
the Operating Partnership or its consolidated subsidiaries. Factors considered
by the Operating Partnership in assessing the acquisition price for each of the
properties included its location and tenant mix, including opportunities for
retenanting and remodeling consistent with the Operating Partnership's
experience as a shopping center operator; its current net operating income and
the prospect for increased income in the short and long range future;
capitalization rates for shopping center properties of the type acquired, in the
Midwest area of the United States generally and in the locality in which the
property is located; current operating costs and the possibility of effecting
property-level operating efficiencies as a result of the Operating Partnership's
ownership of a significant number of shopping centers in the Midwest; and the
differential between the Operating Partnership's cost of capital in acquiring
the property and the property's current and potential net operating income.
After reasonable inquiry, the Operating Partnership is not aware of any material
factors relating to any specific property included within the Acquisition
Properties other than those discussed in the preceding sentence that would cause
the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future
operating results.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors of Bradley Real Estate, Inc.
and Unit Holders of Bradley Operating Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses
(defined as operating revenues less direct operating expenses) of Redford Plaza
for the year ended December 31, 1997. This financial statement is the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain expenses is free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain
expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and for inclusion in a Form 8-K of Bradley Operating Limited
Partnership as described in Note 2. The presentation is not intended to be a
complete presentation of Redford Plaza's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses
described in Note 2, of Redford Plaza for the year ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ACQUISITION PROPERTIES - REDFORD PLAZA

Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

Year ended December 31, 1997

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)   BACKGROUND

      The Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (Statement) has been
      included for Redford Plaza (Redford) which was acquired by Bradley
      Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") on April 10,
      1998.

      Redford is located in Redford, Michigan. It consists of approximately
      285,000 square feet of gross leasable area and was approximately 92%
      occupied at December 31, 1997.

(2)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule
      3.14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for
      inclusion in a Form 8-K of Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and is
      not intended to be a complete presentation of Redford's revenues and
      expenses. The Statement has been prepared on the accrual basis of
      accounting and requires management of Redford to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
      estimates.

      Certain expenses which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to
      be incurred in the proposed future operations of Redford have been
      excluded from the Statement. Expenses excluded consist of interest,
      depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and management fees.

(3)   REVENUES

      The property leases retail space under various lease agreements with its
      tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain of the
      leases include provisions under which the property is reimbursed for
      certain common area, real estate, and insurance costs. Operating expenses
      and real estate tax recoveries reflected on the statement of revenues and
      certain expenses include amounts due for 1997 expenses for which the
      tenants have not yet been billed. In addition, certain leases provide for
      payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage applied to the amount
      by which the tenant's sales, as defined, exceed predetermined levels.
      Certain leases contain renewal options for various periods at various
      rental rates.


      Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
      receivable under the provisions of the leases. However, when rentals vary
      from a straight-line basis due to short-term rent abatements or escalating
      rents during the lease term, the income is recognized based on effective
      rental rates. Related adjustments increased base rental income by
      approximately $55,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

      excluded from the Statement. Expenses excluded consist of interest,
      depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and management fees.

(3)   REVENUES

      The property leases retail space under various lease agreements with its
      tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain of the
      leases include provisions under which the property is reimbursed for
      certain common area, real estate, and insurance costs. Operating expenses
      and real estate tax recoveries reflected on the statement of revenues and
      certain expenses include amounts due for 1997 expenses for which the
      tenants have not yet been billed. In addition, certain leases provide for
      payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage applied to the amount
      by which the tenant's sales, as defined, exceed predetermined levels.
      Certain leases contain renewal options for various periods at various
      rental rates.

      Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
      receivable under the provisions of the leases. However, when rentals vary
      from a straight-line basis due to short-term rent abatements or escalating
      rents during the lease term, the income is recognized based on effective
      rental rates. Related adjustments increased base rental income by
      approximately $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

Year ended December 31, 1997

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)   BACKGROUND

      The Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses (Combined
      Statement) has been included for certain properties which Bradley
      Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") proposes to
      acquire from the same seller. The properties are as follows:

                           Camelot Shopping Center
                           Plainview Village

      Camelot Shopping Center is located in Louisville, Kentucky. It consists of
      approximately 151,000 square feet of gross leasable area and was
      approximately 96% occupied at December 31, 1997.

      Plainview Village is located in Louisville, Kentucky. It consists of
      approximately 144,000 square feet of gross leasable area and was
      approximately 99% occupied at December 31, 1997.

(2)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The Combined Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with
      Rule 3.14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
      for inclusion in a Form 8-K of Bradley Operating Limited Partnership and
      is not intended to be a complete presentation of the properties' revenues
      and expenses. The Combined Statement has been prepared on the accrual
      basis of accounting and requires management of the properties to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenues
      and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from
      those estimates.

      Certain expenses which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to
      be incurred in the proposed future operations of the properties have been
      excluded from the Combined Statement. Expenses excluded consist of
      interest, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and management
      fees.

(3)   REVENUES

      The properties lease retail space under various lease agreements with its
      tenants. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain of the
      leases include provisions under which the properties are reimbursed for
      certain common area, real estate, and insurance costs. Operating expenses
      and real estate tax recoveries reflected on the combined statement of
      revenues and certain expenses include amounts due for 1997 expenses for
      which the tenants have not yet been billed. In addition, certain leases
      provide for payment of contingent rentals based on a percentage applied to
      the amount by which the tenant's sales, as defined, exceed predetermined
      levels. Certain leases contain renewal options for various periods at
      various rental rates.

      Base rentals are reported as income over the lease term as they become
      receivable under the provisions of the leases. However, when rentals vary
      from a straight-line basis due to short-term rent abatements or escalating
      rents during the lease term, the income is recognized based on effective
      rental rates. Related adjustments increased base rental income by
      approximately $63,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

                      BRADLEY OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                 PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
                                DECEMBER 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

         Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired six
shopping centers, for a total purchase price of approximately $54.1 million with
cash provided by the line of credit. In addition, as of May 13, 1998, the
Operating Partnership has entered into contracts for the purchase of an
additional five shopping centers which management believes will close for an
estimated total acquisition price of approximately $40.5 million. The shopping
centers are expected to be purchased with cash provided by the line of credit.
Although the Company deems such acquisitions as probable, there can be no
assurance that the acquisition of any of such properties will be consummated, or
that the acquisition price will approximate those currently estimated. Further,
there can be no assurance that the method of financing such acquisitions will be
as currently estimated.

         On January 28, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $100 million,
7.2% ten-year unsecured Notes maturing January 15, 2008 (the "January 1998 Debt
Issuance"). The effective interest rate on the unsecured Notes is approximately
7.611%. Proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the outstanding
borrowings under the line of credit.

         On February 18, 1998, Bradley Real Estate, Inc., the general partner
and owner of 94% of the Operating Partnership (the "Company"), issued 392,638
shares of common stock to a unit investment trust at a price based upon the then
market value of $20.375 per share (the "February 1998 Stock Offering"). Net
proceeds from the offering of approximately $7.6 million were contributed to the
Operating Partnership and were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the
line of credit.

         This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is
presented as if the acquisitions, including the probable acquisitions, the
January 1998 Debt Issuance and the February 1998 Stock Offering occurring
subsequent to December 31, 1997, had been completed on December 31, 1997. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these
transactions have been made.

         This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is
prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what
the actual financial position of the Operating Partnership would have been at
December 31, 1997, nor does it purport to represent the future financial
position of the Operating Partnership. This unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified
in its entirety by, the respective historical financial statements and notes
thereto of the Operating Partnership.

                      BRADLEY OPERATING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
              PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

        During the period from January 1, 1997 through May 13, 1998, the
Operating Partnership sold four shopping centers for net proceeds of
approximately $19.4 million utilizing the net proceeds to pay-down the line of
credit, and acquired 31 shopping centers at an aggregate cost of approximately
$243.4 million. Consideration paid for such acquisitions included cash (provided
primarily from the bank line of credit), assumption of mortgage indebtedness and
the issuance of LP Units to contributors of properties acquired. In addition, as
of May 13, 1998, the Operating Partnership has entered into contracts for the
purchase of an additional five shopping centers which management believes will
close for an estimated total acquisition price of approximately $40.5 million.
Management currently expects to fund the probable acquisitions with the bank
line of credit. Although management deems such acquisitions as probable, there
can be no assurance that the acquisition of any of such properties will be
consummated, or that the acquisition price will approximate those currently
estimated. Further, there can be no assurance that the method of financing such
acquisitions will be as currently estimated.

        In December 1997, the Operating Partnership entered into a new 
$200 million unsecured line of credit facility with a syndicate of banks,
replacing the previous $150 million unsecured line of credit. The line of credit
bears interest at a rate equal to the lowest of (i) the lead bank's base rate,
(ii) a spread over LIBOR ranging from 0.70% to 1.25% depending on the credit
rating assigned by national credit rating agencies, or (iii) for amounts
outstanding up to $100 million, a competitive bid rate solicited from the
syndicate of banks. Based on the current credit rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's Investment Services ("Standard & Poor's") and Moody's Investors Service
("Moody's"), the spread over LIBOR is 1.00%, which represents a reduction in the
spread over LIBOR from the previous $150 million line of credit by 0.50%.

        On November 26, 1997, the Operating Partnership prepaid a REMIC mortgage
note (the "REMIC Prepayment") primarily with the proceeds of the offering by the
Operating Partnership of $100 million of 7% unsecured Notes due November 15,
2004 (the "November 1997 Debt Issuance"). The effective interest rate on the
unsecured Notes is approximately 7.19%. The issue was rated "BBB-" by Standard &
Poor's and "Baa3" by Moody's.

        In December 1997, the Company issued 1,290,000 shares of common stock
pursuant to two separate public offerings (the "December 1997 Stock Offerings").
Net proceeds from the offerings, approximately $24.9 million, were contributed
to the Operating Partnership and were used to reduce outstanding borrowings
under the line of credit.

        On January 28, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $100 million, 7.2%
ten-year unsecured Notes maturing January 15, 2008 (the "January 1998 Debt
Issuance"). The effective interest rate on the unsecured Notes is approximately
7.61%. The issue was rated "BBB-" by Standard & Poor's and "Baa3" by Moody's.
Proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the outstanding borrowings under
the line of credit.

        On February 18, 1998, the Company issued 392,638 shares of common stock
to a unit investment trust at a price based upon the then market value of
$20.375 per share (the "February 1998 Stock Offering"). Net proceeds from the
offering of approximately $7.6 million were contributed to the Operating
Partnership and were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the line of
credit.

        The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income is
presented as if the acquisitions (including the probable acquisitions), the
dispositions, the replacement of the previous line of credit with the new line
of credit, the REMIC Prepayment, the November 1997 Debt Issuance, the December
1997 Stock Offerings, the January 1998 Debt Issuance, and the February 1998
Stock Offering, described above, had been consummated

on January 1, 1997, and with the Operating Partnership qualifying as a limited
partnership and, therefore, incurring no federal income tax expense during the
period January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

(A) Increase represents historical operating revenues and expenses on properties
    acquired in 1998, or probable of acquisition subsequent to December 31,
    1997, reported in this Form 8-K for the period from January 1, 1997 to
    December 31, 1997.
(B) Increase represents historical operating revenues and expenses on properties
    acquired in 1997 and 1998, or probable of acquisition subsequent to
    December 31, 1997, updated for the period from January 1, 1997 to the
    earlier of the respective dates of acquisition or December 31, 1997.
(C) Decrease represents the elimination of historical operating revenues and
    expenses, and net gain on sale of properties disposed of during 1997 for the
    period during which the Company owned such properties.
(D) Mortgage and other interest has been increased to reflect the pro forma
    borrowings for property acquisitions for the period during which the Company
    did not own such properties, net of the reduction for the application of net
    proceeds from the property dispositions and the December, 1997 and February,
    1998 stock offerings to pay down the line of credit for the period during
    which the Company owned such properties, and for the period preceding the
    stock offerings, at an interest rate of 6.93%, which was the Company's
    approximate borrowing rate at May 12, 1998. Mortgage and other interest has
    been increased for the November, 1997 and January, 1998 unsecured Note
    offerings, net of the reduction for the application of net proceeds of such
    unsecured Note offerings to pay down the $100 million REMIC Note and the
    line of credit, respectively, at the applicable effective interest rates.
    Mortgage and other interest has been decreased by the net reduction in
    interest expense resulting from the December, 1997 paydown of the existing
    line of credit facility with proceeds from the new line of credit facility.
    A 0.125% change in the variable rate would result in a change in the pro
    forma interest adjustment of approximately $52,000.

        Increase in interest expense attributable to
           acquisition activities                                    $13,648

           the unsecured Note offerings                                  664

           the paydown of the existing line of credit
           facility with proceeds from the new line of

(E) Depreciation and amortization has been increased to give effect to recording
    the property acquisitions (including probable acquisitions) over a
    depreciable life of 39 years, for the period which the Company did not own
    such properties, net of the reduction for properties disposed for the period
    which the Company owned such properties, as follows:

        Increase in depreciation and amortization
           attributable to acquisition activities                    $ 4,198
        Decrease in depreciation and amortization
           attributable to disposition activities                       (141)
                                                                     -------
