                              LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
                     $50,000,000   % SENIOR NOTES DUE 200
                     $50,000,000   % SENIOR NOTES DUE 200
 
                                  ----------
 
  The $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of    % Senior Notes due 200
(the "200  Notes") and the $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of    %
Senior Notes due 200  (the "200  Notes" and, together with the 200  Notes, the
"Notes") offered hereby (the "Offering") are being issued by Price Development
Company, Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"). The Notes will mature on           , 200  and           , 200 ,
respectively, and are redeemable at any time at the option of the Operating
Partnership, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in
"Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption"), if any. The Notes are not
subject to any mandatory sinking fund. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-
annually in arrears on each of             and            , commencing
           , 1998.
 
  The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership
and will rank pari passu with each other and with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership from time to time
outstanding. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to mortgages and other
secured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and to secured and unsecured
indebtedness and other liabilities of the Operating Partnership's Subsidiaries
(as defined in "Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants"). As of December
31, 1997, after giving pro forma effect to the Offering and the application of
the net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds," such secured
indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and indebtedness of Subsidiaries of
the Operating Partnership aggregated approximately $155.8 million and such
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership
aggregated approximately $128.8 million. See "Capitalization." Each series of
Notes is a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The
Operating Partnership has not applied for and does not intend to apply for
listing of the Notes on any securities exchange.
 
  JP Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the general partner of the
Operating Partnership (the "Company"), is a fully integrated, self-administered
and self-managed real estate investment trust. As general partner of the
Operating Partnership, the Company controls and is solely responsible for all
aspects of the management of the Operating Partnership.
 
  The 200  Notes and the 200  Notes will each be represented by a single fully
registered global note in book-entry form, without coupons (each a "Global
Note"), registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository Trust Company
("DTC"). Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and
transfers thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC
(with respect to beneficial interests of participants) or by participants or
persons that hold interests through participants (with respect to beneficial
interests of beneficial owners). Owners of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes will be entitled to physical delivery of Notes in definitive form equal
in principal amount to their respective beneficial interest only under the
limited circumstances described under "Description of the Notes--Book-Entry
System." Settlement for the Notes will be made in immediately available funds.
The Notes will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until maturity
or until the Notes are issued in definitive form and secondary market trading
activity in the Notes will therefore settle in immediately available funds. All
payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes will be made by
the Operating Partnership in immediately available funds. See "Description of
the Notes--Same-Day Settlement and Payment."
 
                                  ----------
 
 THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
  EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  OR  ANY  STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION  NOR  HAS  THE
   SECURITIES AND  EXCHANGE  COMMISSION OR  ANY STATE  SECURITIES COMMISSION
    PASSED  UPON  THE   ACCURACY  OR  ADEQUACY  OF   THIS  PROSPECTUS.  ANY
     REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                         PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in
conjunction with, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus or incorporated herein
and therein by reference. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all
references to the "Company" in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying
Prospectus shall be deemed to include JP Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation
("JP Realty"), and its subsidiaries, including Price Development Company,
Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership" or "PDC"), on a consolidated basis and, as the context may
require, its predecessors. All references in this Prospectus to "gross leasable
area" or "GLA" shall refer to the Company-owned leasable area within the
Company's properties and "total gross leasable area" or "Total GLA" shall refer
to the GLA plus any tenant-owned leasable area within the Company's properties.
 
                   THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
 
  JP Realty, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, is a fully
integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a
"REIT"). The Company was formed on September 8, 1993 to continue and expand the
business, commenced in 1957, of certain companies (the "Predecessor Companies")
affiliated with John Price, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. All of the Properties (as hereinafter
defined) and other assets of the Company are held by, and all of the Company's
operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. JP Realty owns a
controlling 83% interest in the Operating Partnership and is solely responsible
for all aspects of the management thereof.
 
  The Company is primarily engaged in the business of owning, leasing,
managing, operating, developing, redeveloping and acquiring malls, community
centers and other commercial and retail properties in Utah, Idaho, Colorado,
Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming (the "Intermountain Region") as well as
in Oregon, Washington and California (together with the Intermountain Region,
the "Western States"). As of December 31, 1997, the Company, through the
Operating Partnership, held a portfolio consisting of 48 properties (each a
"Property" and together, the "Properties"), including 15 enclosed regional
malls, 25 community centers and two free-standing retail properties located in
ten states and six mixed-use commercial properties located primarily in the
Salt Lake City, Utah metropolitan area.
 
  Based on Total GLA, the Company owns and operates the largest retail property
portfolio in each of the states of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, and is the leading
owner and operator of retail shopping center properties throughout the
Intermountain Region. Since 1976, the Company and the Predecessor Companies
have been responsible for developing more retail malls in the Intermountain
Region than any other developer, having constructed, developed or redeveloped
11 malls in the region (as well as three other malls in Oregon and Washington).
The Company's strategy is to extend its dominant market position in the
Intermountain Region, continue to achieve cash flow growth and enhance the
value of its real property portfolio by increasing its rental income and net
operating income (i.e., revenues less property operating expenses, before
interest expenses and depreciation) over time. In order to extend its market
position, the Company expects to continue to concentrate its acquisition and
development activities in the Western States.
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the Company's retail portfolio contained an
aggregate of 10,909,652 square feet of Total GLA and its commercial portfolio
contained an aggregate of 1,417,667 square feet of GLA. Based on Total GLA, the
Company's retail properties were approximately 94% leased as of December 31,
1997 and, based on GLA, its commercial properties were approximately 92% leased
as of that date. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the retail properties
and the commercial properties contributed approximately 90.5% and 9.5%,
respectively, to the Company's consolidated net operating income.
 
                                      S-3
<PAGE>
 
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the eight principal executive officers of the
Company beneficially owned approximately 13.32% of the outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") of JP Realty on a
fully diluted basis (including currently exercisable stock options and units of
limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock). The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "JPR."
 
  The Operating Partnership's and the Company's principal executive office is
located at 35 Century Park-Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115, and their telephone
number is (801) 486-3911.
 
THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION
 
  The Intermountain Region is expected to outpace national population growth
and economic performance for the balance of the 1990s. The Company believes
that the many attractive attributes of the Intermountain Region, such as its
natural beauty, generally lower living costs and less congested urban areas,
which make transportation and commuting less difficult and less costly, make
this region very attractive for personal and corporate relocations. The Company
expects that these factors, combined with the continued constrained development
of new retail properties in many parts of this region, will continue to have a
positive impact on retail rental rates and values of existing retail
properties. In addition, Salt Lake City, Utah, where the Company's commercial
and industrial portfolio is concentrated, has been selected as the site for the
2002 Olympic Winter Games.

quarter ended December 31, 1997 was $24.2 million compared with $19.1 million
for the same period in 1996. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1997
was $8.9 million, or $0.42 per OP Unit, compared with $7.7 million, or $0.39
per OP Unit, for the same period in 1996. Funds from operations ("FFO") for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997 increased 19% to $12.3 million, or $0.58 per OP
Unit, compared with FFO of $10.4 million, or $0.53 per OP Unit, for the same
period in 1996.
 
  Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased 14% to $83.0 million
over revenues of $72.9 million for the same period in 1996. Net income for the
year ended December 31, 1997 increased 15% to $32.8 million, or $1.56 per OP

same period in 1996. FFO for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased 14% to
$44.4 million, or $2.10 per OP Unit, compared to FFO for the year ended

  New Credit Facility. On October 16, 1997, the Company entered into a $150.0
million unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") with a
syndicate of banks. The Company used borrowings under the Unsecured Credit
Facility to repay $67.1 million outstanding under its two then-existing credit
facilities, a $40.0 million credit facility (the "1996 Credit Facility") and a
$50.0 million credit facility (the "1995 Credit Facility" and, together with
the 1996 Credit Facility, the "Pre-1997 Credit Facilities"). On December 18,
1997, the Company increased the total amount available under the Unsecured
Credit Facility to $200.0 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility bears
interest, at the option of the Operating Partnership, at one, or a combination,
of (i) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points or the prime
rate or (ii) LIBOR plus a spread of 70 to 130 basis points based on the credit
rating of the Operating Partnership (which resulted in a spread of 90 basis
points at December 31, 1997) or (iii) LIBOR plus a spread as offered by the
participating banks under a one to three month bid rate auction option. The
Unsecured Credit Facility has a term of three years and provides for monthly
payments of interest only. The weighted average interest rate paid on 1997
borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility was 6.75%, and the balance
outstanding at December 31, 1997 was $127.0 million. The Unsecured Credit
Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including development,
working capital, equity investments, repayment of indebtedness and/or
amortization payments.
 
  Equity Offering. On January 28, 1997, JP Realty completed a public offering
of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, raising approximately $38.8 million in net
proceeds. The Operating Partnership, which received the net proceeds from JP
Realty in exchange for OP Units, used such proceeds to reduce outstanding
borrowings under the Pre-1997 Credit Facilities.

                              thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all

                              than Intercompany Debt, if the ratio of

                              additional Debt, is less than 1.5 to 1, on a pro
                              forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence
                              of such Debt and to the application of the
                              proceeds therefrom, as calculated based on
                              certain assumptions described below under
                              "Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants--

                              (defined herein generally to mean Currently
                              Adjusted Total Assets minus the value of any
                              properties that are encumbered) of not less than
                              150% of the aggregate principal amount of all
                              outstanding Unsecured Debt of the Operating
                              Partnership and its Subsidiaries. On a pro forma
                              basis as of December 31, 1997, this percentage
                              would have been 266.75%. See "Description of the
                              Notes--Certain Covenants--Maintenance of
                              Unencumbered Currently Adjusted Total Assets."
 
                              The foregoing covenants do not restrict the
                              Operating Partnership from refinancing existing
                              Debt, provided that the outstanding principal
                              amount of such Debt is not increased.
 
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.........  The Notes are redeemable at any time at the
                              option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or
                              in part, at a redemption price (the "Redemption
                              Price") equal to the sum of (i) the principal
                              amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued
                              and unpaid interest to the redemption date and
                              (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any. See
                              "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption."
 
MANDATORY REDEMPTION........  There will be no mandatory redemption
                              requirements with respect to the Notes. The Notes
                              are not subject to any mandatory sinking fund.

(1) For purposes of this calculation, EBITDA is defined as earnings before
    interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not
    intended to represent cash flow for the period nor has it been presented as
    an alternative to earnings from operations as an indicator of operating
    performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
    for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles ("GAAP").
(2)  FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
     Trusts ("NAREIT") as "net income (computed in accordance with GAAP),
     excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property,
     plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for
     unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." In March 1995, NAREIT
     issued the White Paper which discussed NAREIT's views on certain
     interpretive issues under the definition of FFO. Effective January 1,
     1996, the Operating Partnership modified its calculation of FFO in
     accordance with the interpretive positions set forth by NAREIT in the
     White Paper. While the Operating Partnership believes that FFO is the most
     relevant and widely used measure of its operating performance, it does not
     represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP
     and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Further, the
     Operating Partnership's presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other
     similarly titled measures used by other equity REITs.
(3)  Pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February   , 1998 (the
     "Indenture"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated
     as of February   , 1998 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), each between
     the Operating Partnership and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee, (i)
     Debt as a percentage of Adjusted Total Assets may not exceed 60% of the
     sum of (a) Adjusted Total Assets as of the end of the most recent fiscal
     quarter and (b) the increase in the Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total
     Assets since the end of such quarter, including any increase in the
     Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets resulting from the
     incurrence of such additional Debt (such increase together with the
     Operating Partnership's Adjusted Total Assets being referred to as
     "Currently Adjusted Total Assets"); (ii) neither the Operating Partnership
     nor any Subsidiary will incur any Debt secured by any mortgage or other
     lien upon any of its properties if, after giving effect thereto, the
     aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Operating
     Partnership and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis which is secured
     by any mortgage or other lien on properties will be greater than 40% of
     Currently Adjusted Total Assets; (iii) neither the Operating Partnership
     nor any Subsidiary may incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt, if
     the Ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt
     Service Charge for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently
     ended prior to the date of the incurrence of such additional Debt, is less
     than 1.5 to 1, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence
     of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds therefrom; and (iv)
     the Operating Partnership will maintain Unencumbered Currently Adjusted
     Total Assets (defined herein generally to mean Currently Adjusted Total
     Assets minus the value of any Properties that are encumbered) of not less
     than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Unsecured
     Debt of the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries. Immediately after
     the Offering, this percentage will be 266.75%. For a more complete
     description of the terms of and definitions used in the foregoing
     limitation, see "Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants--Maintenance
     of Unencumbered Currently Adjusted Total Assets." Capitalized terms used
     in this footnote but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
     ascribed to them in "Description of the Notes."
(4)  For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings have been calculated by
     adding fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest) to income (loss)
     before real estate sales, income taxes and extraordinary items. Fixed
     charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the
     interest component of rental expense, and amortization and write-off of
     debt discounts and issue costs, whether expensed or capitalized.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The net proceeds to the Operating Partnership from the sale of the Notes
offered hereby, after payment of expenses related to the Offering and
underwriting discounts and commissions, are estimated to be approximately
$98.8 million. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds to
repay indebtedness outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility. As of
December 31, 1997, $127.0 million was outstanding under the Unsecured Credit
Facility, which amount was incurred in connection with the repayment of the
Pre-1997 Credit Facilities, the acquisition of the Salem Center and the
funding of development and expansion projects. The Unsecured Credit Facility
bears interest, at the option of the Operating Partnership, at one, or a
combination, of (i) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points
or the prime rate or (ii) LIBOR plus a spread of 70 to 130 basis points based
on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership (which resulted in a spread
of 90 basis points at December 31, 1997) or (iii) LIBOR plus a spread as
offered by the participating banks under a one to three month bid rate auction
option. The Unsecured Credit Facility has a term of three years and provides
for monthly payments of interest only. The weighted average interest rate paid
on 1997 borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility was 6.75%. Following
the Offering, the Operating Partnership expects that it will borrow additional
amounts under the Unsecured Credit Facility to fund future acquisitions and
developments and for working capital purposes.
 
                                CAPITALIZATION
 
  The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Operating
Partnership as of December 31, 1997 and as adjusted to give effect to the
Offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under
"Use of Proceeds." The information set forth in the table should be read in

                   THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
 
GENERAL
 
  JP Realty, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, is a fully
integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. The Company was formed on
September 8, 1993 to continue and expand the business, commenced in 1957, of
the Predecessor Companies affiliated with John Price, Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. All of the Properties
and other assets of the Company are held by, and all of the Company's
operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. JP Realty owns a
controlling 83% interest in the Operating Partnership and is solely
responsible for all aspects of the management thereof.
 
  The Company is primarily engaged in the business of owning, leasing,
managing, operating, developing, redeveloping and acquiring malls, community
centers and other commercial and retail properties in the Intermountain
Region, as well as in Oregon, Washington and California. As of December 31,
1997, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, held a portfolio
consisting of 48 Properties, including 15 enclosed regional malls, 25
community centers and two free-standing retail properties located in ten
states and six mixed-use commercial properties located primarily in the Salt
Lake City, Utah metropolitan area. Since 1976, the Company and the Predecessor
Companies have been responsible for developing more retail malls in the
Intermountain Region than any other developer, having constructed, developed
or redeveloped 11 malls in the region (as well as three other malls in Oregon
and Washington).
 
  Based on Total GLA, the Company owns and operates the largest retail
property portfolio in each of the states of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, and is
the leading owner and operator of retail shopping center properties throughout
the Intermountain Region. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's retail
portfolio contained an aggregate of 10,909,652 square feet of Total GLA and
its commercial portfolio contained an aggregate of 1,417,667 square feet of
GLA. Based on Total GLA, the Company's retail properties were approximately
94% leased as of December 31, 1997, and, based on GLA, its commercial
properties were approximately 92% leased as of that date. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, the retail properties and the commercial properties
contributed approximately 90.5% and 9.5%, respectively, to the Company's
consolidated net operating income.
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the eight principal executive officers of the
Company beneficially owned approximately 13.32% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (including currently exercisable stock
options and OP Units exchangeable for shares of Common Stock).
 
  The Operating Partnership's and the Company's principal executive office is
located at 35 Century Park-Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115, and their
telephone number is (801) 486-3911.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's strategy is to extend its dominant market position in the
Intermountain Region, and to continue to achieve cash flow growth and enhance
the value of the Properties by increasing their rental income and net
operating income over time. The Company expects to achieve rental income and
net operating income growth through (i) contractual rent increases, which are
included in substantially all existing leases for the Properties, (ii) re-
leasing available space at higher rent levels and (iii) selectively
renovating, expanding and redeveloping the Properties. In order to extend its
market position, the Company expects to concentrate its acquisition and other
development activities in the Western States.
 
  The Company has managed its growth within a conservative capital structure.
In connection with its acquisition and development activities, the Company
intends to incur additional borrowings in the future in a manner consistent
with its policy of maintaining a ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization
of less than 50%. The Company's ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization
(i.e. total debt of the Company as a percentage of the market value of its
outstanding capital stock as well as shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exchange of outstanding OP Units plus total debt) was 33.94% at December 31,
1997 and, after giving effect to the Offering and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom, will be 34.03%.
 
                                     S-12
<PAGE>
 
  Key elements of the Company's strategies are as follows:
 
  Operation and Management. The Company performs all property management
functions for the Properties. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 311
full-time employees devoted exclusively to property management. Each of the
malls has on-site management and maintenance personnel as well as a marketing
staff to assist the mall tenants in promoting and advertising their products
and services. Overall supervision of mall operations, headed by the Company's
Director of Enclosed Malls and Director of Marketing, is conducted in a
centralized fashion in order to take advantage of economies of scale and to
deliver a uniform presentation of all management functions. The Company's
internal property management information system enables it to determine
quickly tenant status, tenant gross sales, insurance and other critical
information in order to effectively manage the affairs of its Properties. The
data collected regarding percentage sales allows the Company to predict sales
and retain tenants and enhance mall stability.
 
  The Company's Leasing/Development Department is responsible for maintaining
relationships with tenants that afford the Company opportunities for new
development and expansion. The Company conducts an active program of leasing,
within the common area space of its malls and community centers, kiosks and
other promotional displays on a seasonal basis. In addition to increased
customer traffic, this approach generates additional revenue for the Company
and offers an opportunity for entrepreneurial individuals interested in
opening stores on a more permanent basis within the Company's retail
properties.
 
  The Company's property management efforts will continue to be directed
toward improving the attractiveness and appeal of its retail properties and
providing a pleasant shopping environment in order to increase overall tenant
sales and rents. The Company strives to meet the needs of its tenants in the
areas of promotion, marketing and ongoing property management and seeks to
bring together a sufficient critical mass of complementary upscale and brand-
name tenants. As part of its property management efforts, the Company monitors
tenant mix, store size, sales results and store locations, and works closely
with tenants to improve the overall performance of their stores. The Company
seeks to anticipate trends in the retailing industry and introduce new retail
names and concepts into its retail properties in response to these trends. The
Company maintains its malls and community centers to very high standards and
believes that the aesthetics, ambiance and cleanliness of these Properties
contribute to repeat visits by customers.
 
  Acquisitions. The Company is currently seeking to acquire additional retail
properties, particularly malls and community centers in the Western States
that (i) have leases at rental rates below market, (ii) have potential for
rental and/or occupancy increases and/or (iii) offer cash flow growth or
capital appreciation potential where the Company's financial strength,
relationships with retail companies or expansion or redevelopment capabilities
can enhance value.
 
  Development and Expansion. Since 1976, the Company and the Predecessor
Companies have been responsible for developing more retail malls in the
Intermountain Region than any other developer, having constructed, developed
or redeveloped 11 malls in the region (as well as three other malls in Oregon
and Washington). The Company maintains the in-house capability to bring a
project from concept to completion. The Leasing/Development Department had a
total of 30 full-time employees at December 31, 1997, including directors of
Leasing, Development, Tenant Coordination and Design/Drafting.
 
  The Company has commenced the development of a new enclosed regional mall in
Provo, Utah, is continuing its expansion projects at Red Cliffs Mall, Red
Cliffs Plaza and Boise Towne Square and its development of Boise Towne Plaza.
The Company estimates that upon completion, these projects will add an
aggregate of approximately 1.11 million square feet of Total GLA to the
Company's retail portfolio. In August 1997, the Company completed its
development of the Spokane Valley Mall, a 688,982 square foot enclosed
regional mall located in Spokane, Washington. See "Recent Developments."
 
  In addition to the foregoing projects, the Company may also seek to apply
its substantial expertise and resources to the development of additional
malls, community centers or commercial properties. The Company
 
                                     S-13
<PAGE>
 
expects any such future development projects will primarily be in underserved
and/or growing markets in the Western States and undertaken in cooperation
with anchor tenants with which the Company has long-standing established
relationships.
 
  Further, the Properties contain approximately 48 acres of vacant land
suitable for additional retail expansion projects. Likewise, the Properties
include additional improved land ready for development of approximately
263,000 square feet of free standing retail space. The Company will seek to
expand these and other Properties in its retail portfolio, as well as newly
acquired properties, depending on tenant demand and market conditions.
 
  Third-Party Property Management. The Company provides third-party property
management for an office building and a commercial building located in the
greater Salt Lake City, Utah metropolitan area, a commercial building located
in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Silver Lake Plaza, a community center, located
in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. In addition to these arrangements, the Company plans
to pursue other property management opportunities. Because property management
facilitates an understanding of a property's value and potential for cash flow
growth, the Company believes that, in addition to generating property
management fees, third-party property management arrangements can be a source
of future acquisitions for the Company. For example, the Company was the
property manager for Eastridge Mall and Silver Lake Mall prior to their
acquisitions by the Company.
 
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING THE OFFERING
 
  The Operating Partnership intends to maintain a conservative capital
structure with total debt at less than 50% of total market capitalization of
the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's ratio of debt-to-total
market capitalization was 33.94% at December 31, 1997. After giving pro forma
effect to this Offering and the application of the proceeds therefrom as
described in "Use of Proceeds," the ratio of debt to market capitalization of
the Operating Partnership (based on a closing price on December 31, 1997 of
$25.9375 per share of Common Stock, after full conversion of all OP Units and
including total indebtedness and minority interests in joint ventures) will be
34.03%. The Operating Partnership, however, consistently seeks to optimize its
use of debt and other sources of financing to create a flexible capital
structure that will allow the Operating Partnership to continue its investment
strategy.
 
  The Operating Partnership's sources of debt financing include its Unsecured
Credit Facility, secured notes, mortgages, unsecured notes and a construction
loan. As of December 31, 1997, after giving pro forma effect to this Offering
and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of
Proceeds," the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries collectively had
total indebtedness of $284.6 million, which consisted of $155.8 million of
secured indebtedness (of which $14.8 million was secured indebtedness of the
Operating Partnership and $141.0 million was secured indebtedness of its
Subsidiaries) and $128.8 million of unsecured indebtedness (all of which was
unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership).

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  Acquisitions. In June 1997, the Company acquired Silver Lake Mall, a 298,711
square foot mall located in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The Company, which had held
a 30% interest in Silver Lake Mall, Ltd., a limited partnership owning Silver
Lake Mall, prior to its acquisition of the mall, acquired the remaining 70%
interest in such limited partnership in exchange for 72,000 OP Units and the
assumption of approximately $24.8 million in outstanding indebtedness. Silver
Lake Mall is anchored by JCPenney, Sears, Emporium and Lamont's and contains
65 mall shops. As of December 31, 1997, Silver Lake Mall was 99% leased.
 
  In June 1997, the Company also acquired Visalia Mall, a 439,716 square foot
mall located in Visalia, California for approximately $38.0 million. Visalia
Mall is anchored by JCPenney and Gottschalk's and contains 68 mall shops.
Prior to the Company's purchase of Visalia Mall, the mall underwent a major
renovation which included the expansion of anchor tenant space, the addition
of a new food court, the renovation and expansion of additional tenant shop
space and the construction of a new 1,000 stall parking facility. As of
December 31, 1997, Visalia Mall was 98% leased.
 
  In December 1997, the Company acquired the Salem Center, a 650,500 square
foot enclosed mall located in Salem, Oregon. The Company acquired the Salem
Center for approximately $32.5 million, $32.0 million of which the Company
financed by borrowing under the Unsecured Credit Facility and assuming debt
for the remainder. Salem Center is located in Salem's downtown business
district covering over five contiguous city blocks and is anchored by
Nordstrom, Mervyn's, Meier & Frank, JCPenney and a 7-screen, 2,300 seat
theater. As of December 31, 1997, Salem Center was 97% leased.
 
  Development and Expansion. In August 1997, the Company completed the
development of the Spokane Valley Mall, a two-level, 688,982 square foot
regional mall, located on an 85 acre parcel of land overlooking the Spokane
River and the Centennial Trail in Spokane, Washington. The mall is anchored by
JCPenney, Sears and The Bon Marche and contains 101 mall shops. In addition to
the 273,673 square feet of retail mall space, the mall contains a 40,000
square foot 12-screen ACT III theater and seven out-parcel pads for retail and
restaurant development.
 
  In early 1997, the Company began developing Boise Towne Plaza, a 105,664
square foot shopping center located adjacent to Boise Towne Square in Boise,
Idaho. The first phase of construction at Boise Towne Plaza, containing 76,414
square feet of retail space, was completed and opened in November 1997. The
second phase of construction at Boise Towne Plaza, containing 29,250 square
feet of retail space, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of
1998. During 1997, the Company also completed the construction of (i) a 76,411
square foot Sears department store at the Pine Ridge Mall located in
Pocatello, Idaho, (ii) a 36,036 square foot addition to the Sears department
store at the Silver Lake Mall and (iii) a 5,500 square foot Applebees
restaurant at the Animas Valley Mall located in Farmington, New Mexico.
 
  The Company is also developing Provo Towne Centre, a 723,548 square foot
enclosed regional mall, located in Provo, Utah. Provo Towne Center will be
anchored by JCPenney, Sears and Dillard's and will include space for more than
80 mall shops. Additionally, the Company is currently contemplating the
expansion and renovation of several other of its Properties as well as other
developments and acquisitions.
 
  Results of Operations. The Operating Partnership's total revenue for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997 was $24.2 million compared with $19.1 million
for the same period in 1996. Net income for the quarter ended December 31,
1997 was $9.0 million, or $0.42 per OP Unit, compared with $7.7 million, or
$0.39 per OP Unit, for the same period in 1996. FFO for the quarter ending
December 31, 1997 increased 19% to $12.3 million, or $0.58 per OP Unit,
compared with FFO of $10.4 million, or $0.53 per OP Unit, for the same period
in 1996.
 
  Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased 14% to $83.0 million
over revenues of $72.9 million for the same period in 1996. Net income for the
year ended December 31, 1997 increased 15% to $32.9 million, or $1.56 per OP
Unit, compared to net income of $28.5 million, or $1.45 per OP Unit, for the
same period in 1996. FFO for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased 14% to

  New Credit Facility. On October 16, 1997, the Company entered into the
$150.0 million Unsecured Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks. The
Company used borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility to repay $67.1
million outstanding under the Pre-1997 Credit Facilities. On December 18,
1997, the Company increased the total amount available under the Unsecured
Credit Facility to $200.0 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility bears
interest, at the option of the Operating Partnership, at one, or a
combination, of (i) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points
or the prime rate or (ii) LIBOR plus a spread of 70 to 130 basis points based
on the credit rating of the Operating Partnership (which resulted in a spread
of 90 basis points at December 31, 1997) or (iii) LIBOR plus a spread as
offered by the participating banks under a one to three month bid rate auction
option. The Unsecured Credit Facility has a term of three years and provides
for monthly payments of interest only. The weighted average interest rate paid
on 1997 borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility was 6.75% and the
balance outstanding under this facility at December 31, 1997 was $127.0
million. The Unsecured Credit Facility is available for general corporate
purposes, including development, working capital, equity investments,
repayment of indebtedness and/or amortization payments.
 
  Equity Offering. On January 28, 1997, JP Realty completed a public offering
of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, raising approximately $38.8 million in
net proceeds. The Operating Partnership, which received the net proceeds from
JP Realty in exchange for OP Units, used such proceeds to reduce outstanding
borrowings under the Pre-1997 Credit Facilities.
 
                                  PROPERTIES
 
GENERAL
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the Company, through the Operating Partnership,
held a portfolio consisting of 48 Properties, including 15 enclosed regional
malls, 25 community centers and two free-standing retail properties located in
ten states and six mixed-use commercial properties located primarily in the
Salt Lake City, Utah metropolitan area.
 
  Each of the Company's regional malls is the premier and dominant mall and,

to be the financial, economic and social center for a given geographic area.
The trade areas surrounding the Company's malls have a drawing radius,
depending on the mall, ranging from five to over 150 miles. The malls have
attracted as anchor tenants some of the leading national and regional retail
companies such as JCPenney, Nordstrom, Wal-Mart, The Bon Marche, Sears,
Dillard's, Mervyn's and ZCMI. The 15 regional malls in the portfolio contain
an aggregate of approximately 7,745,000 square feet of Total GLA and range in
size from approximately 296,000 to 876,000 square feet of Total GLA. The
community center portfolio consists of 25 Properties in seven states
containing over 3,159,000 square feet of Total GLA. The two freestanding
retail properties contain a total of approximately 5,000 square feet of GLA.
The commercial portfolio, which includes 40 commercial buildings containing
approximately 1,418,000 square feet of GLA, is primarily located in the Salt
Lake City, Utah area where the Company's headquarters are located.

TENANTS
 
  Large stores (over 20,000 square feet per store) occupy 63.5% of the Total
GLA of the Company's regional malls and community centers. The Company's
largest tenants include JCPenney, ZCMI, Wal-Mart, The Bon Marche, Sears, Meier
& Frank, Mervyn's and Gottschalk's. No tenant represented more than 10% of the
Company's total rental revenues (i.e., minimum rents plus percentage rents)
for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
  Anchors. Regional malls and community centers usually contain one or more
large retail companies known as "anchors." Anchors, which include traditional
department stores, general merchandise stores, large fashion specialty stores,
value oriented specialty stores and discount stores, usually inventory a broad
range of products that appeal to many shoppers. Anchors either own their own
stores (and sufficient parking) or lease their stores from the owner of the
mall or center. Although the rent and other charges paid by anchors are
usually much less (on a per square foot basis) than the rent and other charges
paid by other tenants, their presence typically attracts many shoppers and
enhances the value of a mall or community center.
 
  Anchor tenants in the regional malls are JCPenney, ZCMI, Nordstrom, Wal-
Mart, The Bon Marche, Sears, Gottschalk's, ShopKo, The Emporium, Lamont's,
Mervyn's, Meier & Frank, Target and Dillard's. Anchors in the regional malls
occupy 57.0% of Total GLA of the regional malls. The following table
summarizes the Total GLA owned and leased as of December 31, 1997 by these
anchors:

LEASES
 
  Most of the Company's leases are long-term leases that contain fixed base
rents and step-ups in rent, typically occurring every three to five years.
These leases generally pass through to the tenant the tenant's share of common
area charges, including insurance costs and real estate taxes. Generally, all
of the regional mall leases and certain of the community center leases include
roof and structure repair costs in common area charges. The Company's leases
also generally provide for additional rents based on a percentage of tenant
sales. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, such percentage rents
accounted for approximately 7.2% and 6.1%, respectively, of total rental
income from the Properties owned by the Company during such periods.

    (1)Excludes tenants paying percentage rents in lieu of minimum rents.
 
  As leases expire, the Company currently expects to be able to increase
rental revenue by re-leasing the underlying space (either to a new tenant or
to an existing tenant) at rental rates that are at or higher than the existing
rates.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an
owner of real estate is liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The
presence of such substances, or the failure properly to remediate such
substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such
property or to borrow using such property
 
                                     S-24
<PAGE>
 
as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances may also be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws
impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") into
the air and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real
properties for personal injury associated with ACMs. In connection with the
ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real
properties, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of such
properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines
and injuries to persons and property.
 
  All of the Properties have been subject to Phase I or similar environmental
audits, inspections and regulatory review (completed by licensed and qualified
independent environmental consultants, but not involving soil sampling or
groundwater analysis). The environmental audits do not reveal any significant
environmental liability that would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company is aware
of one environmental issue concerning the 1990 findings of the Idaho
Department of Health & Welfare, Division of Environmental Quality (the
"Department") relating to a property adjacent to the Boise Towne Square. The
Company has received from the prior owner of the property a broad
indemnification relating to such environmental condition as well as a covenant
to complete the ongoing remediation of such environmental condition.
Remediation is on schedule as monitored by the Department. The Company does
not believe that this will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition.
 
THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION
 
  The Intermountain Region is expected to outpace national population growth
and economic performance for the balance of the 1990s. The improving economic
and demographic trends in the region, combined with continued constrained
development of new retail properties in many parts of the region, is expected
to have a positive impact on rental rates and values of existing retail
properties.
 
  Increasing Demand. The Company believes that there will be an increase in
demand for retail space in the Intermountain Region due to anticipated
continuing growth in population, employment, personal income and retail sales.
According to the 1996 MSA Profile published by Woods & Poole Economics, Inc.
(the "1996 Profile"), the Intermountain Region is projected to experience a
20.1% growth in population over the 1990 to 2000 period. During the 1990 to
1997 period, the Intermountain Region experienced a 15.1% growth in
population. The population growth rate over the 1990 to 2000 period for Boise
City, Idaho and Salt Lake City, Utah is projected to be 31.3% and 24.1%,
respectively, compared to a projected rate for the United States of 10.2%. The
population growth rate during the 1990 to 1997 period for Boise City, Idaho
and Salt Lake City, Utah was 24.0% and 16.8%, respectively, compared to 7.3%
for the United States. The 1996 Profile projects a 26.3% job growth rate over
this period in the Intermountain Region and a 37.7% and 30.9% rate for Boise
City, Idaho and Salt Lake City, Utah, respectively, compared to an 11.3% job

  Limited New Supply. Based on data compiled by the International Council of
Shopping Centers, new construction of shopping center properties in Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming (where approximately 68.7% of the Total GLA of the
Properties is located) has decreased considerably since 1989. At its peak in
1988, new construction starts of shopping centers in these states totaled 1.0
million square feet of GLA and, during 1996, new construction starts of
shopping centers in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming totalled 554,000 square feet of
GLA.
 
  Other Factors. The Company believes that the many attractive attributes of
the Intermountain Region, such as its natural beauty, generally lower living
costs and less congested urban areas, which make transportation and commuting
less difficult and less costly, make it very attractive for personal and
corporate relocations. The Company expects that these factors, combined with
the continued constrained development of new retail properties in many parts
of the region, will continue to have a positive impact on retail rental rates
and values of existing retail properties. In addition, Salt Lake City, Utah,
where the Company's commercial and industrial portfolio is concentrated, has
been selected as the site for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.

                           DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
 
GENERAL
 
  The 200  Notes and the 200  Notes offered hereby constitute separate series
of Debt Securities (which are more fully described in the accompanying
Prospectus), each to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, as supplemented by
the First Supplemental Indenture, between the Operating Partnership and The
Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Indenture does not limit
the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities which may be issued
thereunder. The following description of the particular terms of the Notes
supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of the Debt
Securities set forth in the accompanying Prospectus, to which description
reference is hereby made. The terms of the Notes include those provisions
contained in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to
the Indenture and Trust Indenture Act for a statement thereof.
 
  The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain
capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined. Copies of the
Indenture and the Notes are available for inspection at the office of the
Trustee located at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001. As used in
this section, the "Operating Partnership" refers to Price Development Company,
Limited Partnership and the "Company" refers to JP Realty, Inc., in each case,
exclusive of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.
 
  The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership
and will rank pari passu with each other and with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating Partnership from time to time
outstanding. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to mortgages and other
secured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and to secured and unsecured
indebtedness and other liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of
December 31, 1997, after giving pro forma effect to the Offering and the
application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds,"
such secured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and indebtedness of
Subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership aggregated approximately $156.4
million and such unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Operating
Partnership aggregated approximately $128.2 million. See "Capitalization" and
"Use of Proceeds." Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture
and other instruments governing the rights of holders of its outstanding
indebtedness, including the restrictions described under "Certain Covenants"
below, the Indenture will permit the Operating Partnership and its
Subsidiaries to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.
 
  The 200  Notes will mature on       , 200  and the 200  Notes will mature on
       , 200  (each, a "Maturity Date"). The Notes are not subject to any
mandatory sinking fund provisions. The Notes are subject to redemption at the
Operating Partnership's option prior to their Maturity Date, in whole or in
part, at any time, at the Redemption Price. See "Optional Redemption" below.
The Notes will be issued only in fully registered, book-entry form without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except
under the limited circumstances described below under "--Book-Entry System."
 
  Except as described under "Certain Covenants" below and under "Description
of Debt Securities--Merger, Consolidation or Sale" in the accompanying
Prospectus, the Indenture does not contain any provision that would limit the
ability of the Operating Partnership to incur indebtedness or that would
afford holders of the Notes protection in the event of (i) a highly leveraged
or similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership, the management of
the Operating Partnership or the Company, or any affiliate of them, (ii) a
change of control of the Operating Partnership or the Company or (iii) a
reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the
Operating Partnership or the Company that may adversely affect the holders of
the Notes. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth under
"Description of Debt Securities--Merger, Consolidation or Sale" in the
accompanying Prospectus, the Operating Partnership may, in the future, enter
into certain transactions such as the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets or the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership that would
increase the amount of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or
substantially reduce or eliminate the Operating Partnership's assets, which
may have an adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's
 
                                     S-31
<PAGE>
 
ability to service its indebtedness, including the Notes. Neither the
Operating Partnership nor the management of the Operating Partnership or the
Company have any present intention of engaging in a highly leveraged or
similar transaction involving the Operating Partnership. In addition, certain
restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company's capital stock designed
to preserve its status as a REIT may act to prevent or hinder any such
transaction or change in control.
 
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
 
  The 200  Notes will bear interest at a rate of     % per annum and the 200
Notes will bear interest at a rate of     % per annum, in each case from the
date of issuance or from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (as
defined below) to which interest has been paid, payable semi-annually in
arrears on each      and      , commencing            , 1998 (each an
"Interest Payment Date"), and on the applicable Maturity Date, to the persons
(the "Holders") in whose names the Notes are registered in the security
register applicable to such Notes at the close of business on the date 15
calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (each, a "Regular Record
Date") regardless of whether such day is a Business Day (as defined below).
Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.
 
  If any Interest Payment Date or a Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as
if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue
on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment
Date or such Maturity Date, as the case may be. "Business Day" means any day,
other than a Saturday or Sunday or legal holiday, on which banking
institutions in The City of New York are open for business.
 
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
 
  The Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Operating
Partnership, in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price (the
"Redemption Price"), equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes
being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and
(ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any.
 
  If notice has been given as provided in the Indenture and funds for the
redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been made available
on the redemption date referred to in such notice, such Notes will cease to
bear interest on the date fixed for such redemption specified in such notice
and the only right of the Holders from and after the redemption date will be
to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Notes in
accordance with such notice.
 
  Notice of any optional redemption of any Notes will be given to Holders at
their addresses, as shown in the security register for the Notes, not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The
notice of redemption will specify, among other items, the Redemption Price and
the principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder to be redeemed.
 
  If less than all the Notes of a series are to be redeemed at the option of
the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership will notify the Trustee
at least 45 days prior to giving notice of redemption (or such shorter period
as is satisfactory to the Trustee) of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes to be redeemed and their redemption date. The Trustee shall select, pro
rata, by lot or in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, Notes to
be redeemed in whole or in part. Notes of a series may be redeemed in part in
the authorized denomination of $1,000 or in any integral multiple thereof.
 
  As used herein:
 
  "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption or
accelerated payment of any Notes of such series being so redeemed or
accelerated, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the
date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal of
such series being redeemed and the amount of any interest (exclusive of
interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment)
 
                                     S-32

that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption
or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a
semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the applicable Reinvestment
Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of
redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the
respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable
if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of the particular series of Notes being redeemed or
paid as calculated and certified by the Operating Partnership to the Trustee
in an Officers' Certificate.
 
  "Reinvestment Rate" means 0.25% plus the arithmetic mean of the yield(s) on
treasury securities at a constant maturity for the most recent week under the
heading "Week Ending" published in the most recent Statistical Release under
the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the
nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the
payment date of the principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly
corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most
closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated
or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of
such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the purpose of calculating the
Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the
date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.
 
  "Statistical Release" means the statistical release designated "H.15(519)"
or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve
System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical
release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture,
then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the
Operating Partnership.
 
CERTAIN COVENANTS
 
  Reference is made to the section entitled "Description of Debt Securities"
in the accompanying Prospectus for a description of certain covenants
applicable to the Notes. In addition to the foregoing, the following covenants
of the Operating Partnership will apply to the Notes for the benefit of the
Holders.
 
  Limitations on Incurrence of Debt. The Operating Partnership will not, and
will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany
Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional
Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Operating
Partnership and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in
accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication)
(i) the Adjusted Total Assets (as defined below) of the Operating Partnership
and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered in the
Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") (or, if such filing is not required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), with the
Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the increase
in Adjusted Total Assets from the end of such quarter, including, without
limitation, any increase in Adjusted Total Assets caused by the incurrence of
such additional Debt (such increase together with the Adjusted Total Assets
shall be referred to as the "Currently Adjusted Total Assets").
 
  Limitations of Incurrence of Secured Debt. In addition to the foregoing
limitation on the incurrence of Debt, the Operating Partnership will not, and
will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt if, immediately
after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt, the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Operating
Partnership and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in
accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of the Currently Adjusted Total
Assets.
 
  Debt Service Coverage. In addition to the foregoing limitation on the
incurrence of Debt, the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries will
maintain a ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual
Debt Service Charge for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently
ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred of not
less than 1.5 to 1, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to
 
                                     S-33
<PAGE>
 
the incurrence of such Debt and to the application of the proceeds therefrom,
and calculated on the assumption that (i) such Debt and any other Debt
incurred since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application
of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at
the beginning of such period, (ii) the repayment or retirement of any other
Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred at the
beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation under this
subsection (ii) or subsection (i) above, the amount of Debt under any
revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily
balance of such Debt during such period) and (iii) any increase or decrease in
Adjusted Total Assets, or any other acquisition or disposition by the
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets, since
the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by
merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, had occurred at the
beginning of such period, in each case with the appropriate adjustments to net
income and Debt levels with respect to such increase, decrease or other
acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation. For
purposes of the adjustments referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding
sentence, any income earned (or loss incurred) as a result of any such
increase, decrease or other acquisition or disposition referred to in clause
(iii) for a period of less than such four-quarter period shall be annualized
for such four-quarter period.
 
  For purposes of the foregoing provisions regarding the limitation on the
incurrence of Debt, Debt shall be deemed to be "incurred" by the Operating
Partnership and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis whenever the
Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries shall create, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable in respect thereof.
 
  Maintenance of Unencumbered Currently Adjusted Total Assets. The Operating
Partnership shall maintain at all times Unencumbered Currently Adjusted Total
Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Unsecured Debt of the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis. After giving effect to the Offering and the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, the Operating Partnership's
Unencumbered Currently Adjusted Total Assets will be equal to 266.75% of the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Unsecured Debt of the Operating
Partnership and its Subsidiaries.
 
  The foregoing covenants do not restrict the Operating Partnership from
refinancing existing Debt, provided that the outstanding principal amount of
such Debt is not increased.
 
  Insurance. The Operating Partnership will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, keep all of their respective insurable properties insured
against loss or damage at least equal to their then fully insurable value with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies.
 
  Maintenance of Properties. The Operating Partnership will cause all of its
respective properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the
business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to
be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Operating Partnership may
be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that
the Operating Partnership shall not be prevented from selling or otherwise
disposing of for value its properties in the ordinary course of business.
 
  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Operating Partnership will pay or
discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Operating Partnership or upon the income, profits or property
of the Operating Partnership and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials
and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of
the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership
shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged
any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or
validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
 
  Provision of Financial Information. Whether or not the Operating Partnership
is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and for so long as any
Notes are outstanding, the Operating Partnership will, to the extent permitted
under the Exchange Act, file with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly
reports and other
 
                                     S-34
<PAGE>
 
documents which the Operating Partnership would have been required to file
with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d) if the Operating
Partnership were so subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on
or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the
Operating Partnership would have been required so to file such documents if
the Operating Partnership were so subject.
 
  The Operating Partnership will also in any event (i) within 15 days of each
Required Filing Date (a) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders,
copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the Operating
Partnership would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Operating Partnership were
subject to such Sections and (b) file with the Trustee copies of the annual
reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Operating Partnership
would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Operating Partnership were subject to such
Sections and (ii) if filing such documents by the Operating Partnership with
the Commission is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written
request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply
copies of such documents to any prospective Holder.
 
  As used herein:
 
  "Adjusted Total Assets" as of any date means the sum of (i) $296.1 million,
which represents the amount determined by multiplying the sum of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company and the OP Units of the Operating Partnership not
held by the Company issued in connection with the Company's initial public

extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages
receivable or used to reduce Debt), adjusted in the case of (i), (ii) and
(iii) for the proceeds of any real estate assets disposed of by the Operating
Partnership. On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Offering and the

Exchange Act, with the
 
                                     S-35
<PAGE>

interest existing on property owned by the Operating Partnership or any

the balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property except
any such balance that constitutes an accrued expense or trade payable or (iv)
any lease of property by the Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries
as lessee which is reflected in the Operating Partnership's consolidated
balance sheet as a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP in the case of
items of indebtedness incurred under (i) through (iii) above to the extent
that any such items (other than letters of credit) would appear as a liability
on the Operating Partnership's Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with
GAAP, and also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation
of the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary to be liable for, or to pay, as
obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for purposes of collection in the
ordinary course of business), indebtedness of another person (other than the
Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary).

and its Subsidiaries that are encumbered by any mortgage, charge, pledge,
lien, security interest or other encumbrance of any kind, including the value
of any capital stock of any Subsidiary that is so encumbered. For purposes of
this definition, the value of each of the 38 Properties owned by the Operating
Partnership at the time of the IPO shall be determined by reference to each
such Property's contribution to net operating income of the Operating
Partnership at the time of the IPO and the value of each Property acquired
since the IPO shall be equal to the purchase price or cost of each such

Directors of the Company, as general partner of the Operating
 
                                     S-36
<PAGE>
 
Partnership, or by the Trustee unless the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of such series consent to such waiver; provided, however,
that the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of the Indenture
described under "Description of Debt Securities--Discharge, Defeasance and
Covenant Defeasance" in the accompanying Prospectus will apply to the Notes,
including, with respect to the covenants described in this Prospectus
Supplement.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
  In addition to the "Events of Default" described under "Description of Debt
Securities--Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" in the accompanying
Prospectus, the Indenture provides that any default in the payment of recourse
indebtedness of the Operating Partnership or any mortgage, indenture or other
instrument under which such indebtedness is issued or by which such
indebtedness is secured having an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10.0
million, such default having occurred after the expiration of any applicable
grace period and having resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such
indebtedness, but only if such indebtedness is not discharged or such
acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, will be an Event of Default with
respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder.
 
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
 
  The following are summaries of certain rules and operating procedures of the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") that affect the payment of principal and
interest and transfers of interests in the fully registered global notes in
book-entry form, without coupons (the "Global Notes"). Upon issuance, each
series of Notes will only be issued in the form of a Global Note which will be
deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for
Notes in definitive form under the limited circumstances described below, a
Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole (i) by DTC to a nominee
of DTC, (ii) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or (iii) by
DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.
 
  Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to
persons that have accounts with DTC for such Global Note ("participants") or
persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a
Global Note, DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer
system, the participants' accounts with the respective principal amounts of
the Notes represented by such Global Note beneficially owned by such
participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by the
Underwriters (as defined below). Ownership of beneficial interests in the
Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests
will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to
interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to
interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states
may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of
such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may limit or
impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the
Global Notes.
 
  So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC
or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or
Holder represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture.
Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note
will not be entitled to have Notes represented by such Global Note registered
in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery
of such Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the registered
owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning
a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC and,
if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant
through which such person owns its interest to exercise any rights of a Holder
of record under the Indenture. The Operating Partnership understands that
under existing industry practices, if the Operating Partnership requests any
action of Holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note
desires to give or take any action that a Holder is entitled to give or take
under the Indenture, DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant
beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would
authorize the beneficial owners owning through
 
                                     S-37
<PAGE>
 
such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the
instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
 
  Payments of principal of, or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and
interest on Notes represented by a Global Note registered in the name of DTC
or its nominee will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the
registered owner of such Global Note. None of the Operating Partnership, the
Trustee or any other agent of the Operating Partnership or the Trustee will
have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating
to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership of interests in the
Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating
to such beneficial ownership interests. The Operating Partnership expects that
DTC, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a
Global Note, will immediately credit participants' accounts with payments in
amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in such Global
Note as shown on the records of DTC. The Operating Partnership also expects
that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes held through such participants will be governed by standing customer
instructions and customer practice, as is now the case with securities held
for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name,"
and will be the responsibility of such participants.
 
  If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the
Notes or ceases to be eligible under applicable law, and the Operating
Partnership fails to appoint a successor depositary registered as a clearing
agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days, the Operating Partnership will
issue the Notes in definitive form in exchange for the respective Global
Notes. In addition, the Operating Partnership may, at any time and in its sole
discretion, determine not to have any of the Notes represented by one or more
Global Notes and, in such event, will issue Notes in definitive form in
exchange for all of the Global Note or Global Notes representing such Notes.
Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for the Global Notes will he
registered in such name or names, and will be issued in denominations of
$1,000 and such integral multiples thereof, as DTC shall instruct the Trustee.
 
  DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of
the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a
"clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the
Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of its participants and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions among its participants
in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the
participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations,
some of which (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to the DTC book-
entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers and dealers
and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship
with a participant, either directly or indirectly.
 
SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT
 
  Settlement for the Notes will be made by the Underwriters in immediately
available funds. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Notes will be made by the Operating Partnership in immediately available
funds.
 
  The Notes will trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until
maturity or until the Notes are issued in certificated form, and secondary
market trading activity in the Notes will therefore be required by DTC to
settle in immediately available funds. No assurance can be given as to the
effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on trading
activity in the Notes.
 
TRUSTEE
 
  The Chase Manhattan Bank or its affiliates may from time to time perform
other services for the Company and the Operating Partnership in the normal
course of business.

                                 UNDERWRITING
 
  Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the purchase agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement"), the Operating Partnership has agreed to sell to each of
the underwriters named below (collectively, the "Underwriters"), and each of
the Underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from the Operating
Partnership, the respective principal amount of 200  Notes and 200  Notes set
forth opposite its name below. The Purchase Agreement provides that the
obligations of the Underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent,
and that the Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the Notes if
any are purchased.

  The Underwriters have advised the Operating Partnership that they propose
initially to offer each series of Notes to the public at the public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement, and to
certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of    % (in the
case of the 200  Notes) and    % (in the case of the 200  Notes) of the
principal amount thereof. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may re-
allow, a discount not in excess of   % of the principal amount thereof on
sales to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering of the
Notes, the public offering price, concession and discount may be changed.
 
  The Operating Partnership and JP Realty have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required
to make in respect thereof.
 
  Each series of Notes is a new issue of securities with no established
trading market. The Operating Partnership has not applied for and does not
intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange. The
Operating Partnership has been advised by the Underwriters that the
Underwriters intend to make a market in the Notes as permitted by applicable
laws and regulations. The Underwriters are not obligated, however, to make a
market in any of the Notes and may discontinue market-making at any time
without notice at the sole discretion of the Underwriters. No assurance can be
given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the Notes.
 
  Until the distribution of the Notes is completed, rules of the Commission
may limit the ability of the Underwriters to bid for and purchase the Notes.
As an exception to these rules, the Underwriters will be permitted to engage
in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the Notes. Such
transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing
or maintaining the price of the Notes.
 
  If the Underwriters create a short position in the Notes in connection with
the Offering (i.e., if they sell more Notes than are set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus Supplement), the Underwriters may reduce that short
position by purchasing Notes in the open market.
 
  In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to
reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher
than it might be in the absence of such purchases.
 
  Neither the Operating Partnership nor the Underwriters makes any
representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect
that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the Notes.
 
                                     S-39
<PAGE>
 
In addition, neither the Operating Partnership nor the Underwriters makes any
representation that they will engage in such transactions or that such
transactions, once commenced, will be discontinued without notice.
 
  Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided
from time to time, and expect to provide, investment banking and financial
advisory services for, and/or have normal banking relationships with, the

                   THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
 
  JP Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), is a fully
integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust
("REIT") primarily engaged in the ownership, leasing, management, operation,
development, redevelopment and acquisition of retail properties in Utah,
Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming (the "Intermountain
Region") as well as in Oregon, Washington and California. The Company was
formed on September 8, 1993 to continue and expand the business, commenced in
1957, of certain companies affiliated with John Price, Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Based on total gross leasable
area, the Company owns and operates the largest retail property portfolio in
the states of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, and one of the largest in the
Intermountain Region.
 
  As of November 1, 1997, the Company's portfolio was comprised of 46 retail
properties (the "Properties"), including 14 enclosed regional malls, 24
community centers and two free-standing retail properties located in ten
states and six mixed-use commercial properties located primarily in the Salt
Lake City, Utah metropolitan area. As of that date, the Properties contained
an aggregate of approximately 11.6 million square feet of total gross leasable
area, of which approximately 9.7 million square feet was Company owned.
 
  All of the Properties or interests therein are held by, and all of the
Company's business operations are conducted through, Price Development
Company, Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"). As of November 1, 1997, the Company owned an approximate 83%
controlling general partner interest in the Operating Partnership. As general
partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has unilateral control and
complete responsibility for the management of the Operating Partnership and
over each of the Properties. The Company's Common Stock is listed on the NYSE
under the Symbol "JPR."
 
  The Company's management has an average of 23 years of experience in the
ownership, leasing, management, operation, development, redevelopment and
acquisition of regional malls, community shopping centers and other commercial
properties. As of November 1, 1997, the Company had 448 employees, including a
corporate staff of 77 individuals including senior management, and 371
property management personnel. The Company's and the Operating Partnership's
executive offices are located at 35 Century Park-Way, Salt Lake City, Utah
84115, and their telephone number is (801) 486-3911.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement,
proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Offered Securities will be added
to the working capital of the Company and will be available for the repayment
of indebtedness, the financing of capital commitments, possible future
acquisitions associated with the continued expansion of the Company's business
and general corporate purposes.
 
                      RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
 
  The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for (i) the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 was 3.85x and (ii) the fiscal years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, the year ended December 31, 1994 (which includes results of
operations of the Company's predecessors, which consisted of a group of
affiliated companies owned and controlled by John Price (the "Predecessor
Companies"), for the period of January 1, 1994 through January 20, 1994) and
the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 (which are based on the results of
operations of the Predecessor Companies) was 3.64x, 3.47x, 2.07x, 1.19x and
1.09x, respectively. To date, the Company has not issued any Preferred Stock;
therefore, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and Preferred
Stock distributions are the same as the ratios of earnings to fixed charges.
 
  The ratios of earnings to fixed charges presented above were computed by
dividing the Company's earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings
have been calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding capitalized
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
interest) to income before extraordinary item and minority interest of holders
of units of limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership (the "OP
Units"). Fixed charges consist of interest costs, whether expensed or
capitalized, the interest component of rental expense, if any, and
amortization of deferred financing costs (including amounts capitalized).
 
  Prior to the completion of the Company's initial public offering on January
21, 1994 (the "IPO"), the Predecessor Companies operated in a highly leveraged
manner utilizing traditional single-asset mortgage loans and construction
loans as their principal source of outside capital. In connection with
completion of the IPO, the Company reorganized the Predecessor Companies into
a single consolidated entity and substantially deleveraged their asset base,
resulting in a significantly improved ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
  Under the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the
"Charter"), the Company has authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of capital
stock, par value $.0001 per share, with 124,800,000 of such shares designated
as Common Stock. At November 1, 1997, the Company had outstanding 17,389,827
shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company has reserved for issuance (i)
3,678,390 shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the OP Units; and (ii)
1,013,793 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of stock options that have
been, or are available to be, granted under the Company's 1993 Stock Option
Plan. Under Maryland law, stockholders generally are not responsible for a
corporation's debts or obligations. The following descriptions do not purport
to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by
reference to, the more complete descriptions thereof set forth in the
following documents: (i) the Charter and (ii) the Company's Amended and
Restated By-Laws (the "By-Laws"), which documents are exhibits to this
Registration Statement.
 
TERMS
 
  Subject to the preferential rights of any other shares or series of capital
stock, including, without limitation, the Company's Price Group Stock, par
value $.0001 per share (the "Price Group Stock"), and to the provisions of the
Charter regarding excess stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Excess Stock"),
holders of shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions on
shares of Common Stock if, as and when authorized and declared by the Board of
Directors out of assets legally available therefor and to share ratably in the
assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders
in the event of its liquidation, dissolution or winding up after payment of,
or adequate provision for, all known debts and liabilities of the Company.
Under the Charter, holders of shares of Price Group Stock are entitled to
receive distributions at a rate per share equal to 80% of any distributions
declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets legally available therefor,
in respect of the Common Stock.
 
  Subject to the preferential rights of the Price Group Stock with respect to
the election of directors and to the provisions of the Charter regarding
Excess Stock, each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to
one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. No cumulative
voting rights for the election of directors will attach to shares of Common
Stock or Price Group Stock. For the period that John Price, his spouse and
children, any lineal descendants of any of the foregoing, any estates of any
of the foregoing, any trusts now or hereafter established for the benefit of
any of the foregoing and any other entity now or hereafter controlled by any
of the foregoing (collectively, the "Price Group") continues to hold a
combined 10% or greater direct or indirect economic interest in the Operating
Partnership, the holders of the Price Group Stock will elect two of the seven
members of the Board of Directors and the holders of the Common Stock and
Price Group Stock, voting together as a single class, will elect the remaining
five members of the Board of Directors. After the combined direct or indirect
economic interest held by the Price Group in the Operating Partnership falls
below 10%, the holders of the Price Group Stock will not, as a class, be
entitled to elect any of the members of the Board of Directors, but will vote
together with the Common Stock, as a single class, to elect all seven
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
members of the Board of Directors. In addition, any change in the size of the
Board of Directors must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Price Group Stock.
 
  Holders of Common Stock have no conversion, sinking fund or redemption
rights, or preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the Company.
 
  The Company intends to furnish its stockholders with annual reports
containing audited consolidated financial statements and an opinion thereon
expressed by an independent public accounting firm.
 
  Pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL"), a corporation
generally cannot dissolve, amend its Charter, merge, sell all or substantially
all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar
transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless approved by the
affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares
entitled to vote on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a
majority of all of the votes to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the
corporation's Articles of Incorporation. The Charter provides that such
transactions, with the exception of an amendment of the Charter (i) affecting
certain changes relating to the Board of Directors or the terms of the Price
Group Stock or (ii) to limit stockholder proposals and nominations, can be
affected by a vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on such
matters. With respect to the matters set forth in items (i) and (ii) above,
the Charter provides that it may only be amended upon the affirmative vote of
not less than 80% of the aggregate votes entitled to vote thereon.
 
  Provisions of the Charter described below under "Restrictions on Transfers
of Capital Stock," together with other provisions of the Charter and the MGCL,
may discourage a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a
majority, of shares of Common Stock might receive a premium for their shares
over the then-prevailing market price or which such holders might believe to
be otherwise in their best interest.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP
 
  For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), not more than 50% in value of its outstanding
Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Price Group Stock (collectively, the "Equity
Stock") may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as
defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a
taxable year. To assist the Company in meeting this requirement, the Charter
contains certain provisions restricting certain transfers of shares of Equity
Stock and limiting the beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of the
Company's outstanding Equity Stock. See "Restrictions on Transfers of Capital
Stock."
 
TRANSFER AGENT
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is ChaseMellon
Shareholder Services, L.L.C.

<PAGE>
 
                        DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
  Under the Charter, the Company has authority to issue 200 million shares of
capital stock, par value $.0001 per share, of which 124,800,000 shares have
been designated as Common Stock, 200,000 of which have been designated as
Price Group Stock and 75,000,000 of which have been designated as Excess
Stock. As of the date hereof, none of the shares of capital stock has been
designated as Preferred Stock. Under the Charter, shares of Common Stock or
Excess Stock may be redesignated by the Board of Directors as Preferred Stock
and, following such redesignation, may be issued from time to time, in one or
more series of Preferred Stock, as authorized by the Board of Directors. Prior
to issuance of shares of each series, the Board of Directors is required by
the MGCL and the Charter to fix for each series, subject to the provisions of
the Charter regarding Price Group Stock, the terms, preferences, conversion or
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions or
other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption, as
are permitted by Maryland law. The Preferred Stock will, when issued, be fully
paid and nonassessable and will have no preemptive rights. The Board of
Directors could authorize the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock with terms
and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other
transaction that holders of Common Stock might believe to be in their best
interests or in which holders of some, or a majority, of the shares of Common
Stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of
such shares of Common Stock.
 
TERMS
 
  The following description of the Preferred Stock sets forth certain general
terms and provisions of the Preferred Stock to which any Prospectus Supplement
may relate. The statements below describing the Preferred Stock are in all
respects subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the
applicable provisions of the Charter and the By-Laws and any articles
supplementary to the Charter designating terms of a series of Preferred Stock
(the "Articles Supplementary").

         accumulate, if applicable;

         restrictions of such Preferred Stock;

rank on a parity with the Preferred Stock with respect to distribution rights
or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; and
(iii) junior to all equity securities issued by the Company, the terms of
which specifically provide that such equity securities rank senior to the
Preferred Stock with respect to distribution rights or rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  Holders of the Preferred Stock of each series will be entitled to receive,
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets of the
Company legally available for payment, cash distributions at such rates and on
such dates as will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Each
such distribution shall be payable to holders of record as they appear on the
share transfer books of the Company on such record dates as shall be fixed by
the Board of Directors.
 
  Distributions on any series of the Preferred Stock may be cumulative or
noncumulative, as provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
Distributions, if cumulative, will be cumulative from and after the date set
forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the Board of Directors fails
to declare a distribution payable on a distribution payment date on any series
of the Preferred Stock for which distributions are noncumulative, then the
holders of such series of the Preferred Stock will have no right to receive a
distribution in respect of the distribution period ending on such distribution
payment date, and the Company will have no obligation to pay the distribution
accrued for such period, whether or not distributions on such series are
declared payable on any future distribution payment date.
 
  If Preferred Stock of any series is outstanding, no distributions will be
declared or paid or set apart for payment on any capital stock of the Company
of any other series ranking, as to distributions, on a parity with or junior
to the Preferred Stock of such series for any period, unless (i) if such
series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative distribution, full cumulative
distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such
payment on the Preferred Stock of such series for all past distribution
periods and the then current distribution period, or (ii) if such series of
Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative distribution, full distributions
for the then current distribution period have been or contemporaneously are
declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is
set apart for such payment on the Preferred Stock of such series. When
distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment
is not so set apart) upon Preferred Stock of any series and the shares of any
other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to distributions with
the Preferred Stock of such series, all distributions declared upon Preferred
Stock of such series and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a
parity as to distributions with such Preferred Stock shall be declared pro
rata so that the amount of distributions declared per share of Preferred Stock
of such series and such other series of Preferred Stock shall in all cases
bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per share on the
Preferred Stock of such series (which shall not include any accumulation in
respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such
Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative distribution) and such other series
of Preferred Stock bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of
interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments
on Preferred Stock of such series that may be in arrears.
 
  Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless (i) if
such series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative distribution, full cumulative
distributions on the Preferred Stock of such series have been or
contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof is set apart
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
for payment for all past distribution periods and the then current
distribution period, or (ii) if such series of Preferred Stock does not have a
cumulative distribution, full distributions on the Preferred Stock of such
series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a
sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for the then
current distribution period, no distributions (other than in shares of Common
Stock, Price Group Stock or other shares of capital stock ranking junior to
the Preferred Stock of such series as to distributions and upon liquidation)
shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other
distribution be declared or made upon the Common Stock, Price Group Stock or
any other capital stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with
the Preferred Stock of such series as to distributions or upon liquidation,
nor shall any shares of Common Stock, or any other shares of capital stock of
the Company ranking junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Stock of such
series as to distributions or upon liquidation, be redeemed, purchased or
otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the
Company (except by conversion into or exchange for other capital stock of the
Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to
distributions and upon liquidation).
 
  Any distribution payment made on shares of a series of Preferred Stock shall
first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distribution due
with respect to shares of such series that remain payable.
 
REDEMPTION
 
  If so provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Stock
will be subject to mandatory redemption or redemption at the option of the
Company, as a whole or in part, in each case upon the terms, at the times and
at the redemption prices set forth in such Prospectus Supplement.
 
  The applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a series of Preferred Stock
that is subject to mandatory redemption will specify the number of shares of
such Preferred Stock that shall be redeemed by the Company in each year
commencing after a date to be specified, at a redemption price per share to be
specified, together with an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid
distributions thereon (which shall not, if such Preferred Stock does not have
a cumulative distribution, include any accumulation in respect of unpaid
distributions for prior distribution periods) to the date of redemption. The
redemption price may be payable in cash or other property, as specified in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the redemption price for Preferred Stock
of any series is payable only from the net proceeds of the issuance of shares
of capital stock of the Company, the terms of such Preferred Stock may provide
that if no such shares of capital stock shall have been issued, or to the
extent the net proceeds from any issuance are insufficient to pay in full the
aggregate redemption price then due, such Preferred Stock shall automatically
and mandatorily be converted into the applicable shares of capital stock of
the Company pursuant to conversion provisions specified in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement.
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless (i) if a series of Preferred Stock has
a cumulative distribution, full cumulative distributions on all shares of such
series of Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared
and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart
for payment for all past distribution periods and the then current
distribution period, or (ii) if a series of Preferred Stock does not have a
cumulative distribution, full distributions on all shares of the Preferred
Stock of such series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment
for the then current distribution period, no shares of such series of
Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock of such series are simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of Preferred Stock of
such series to preserve the REIT status of the Company or pursuant to a
purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of such series. In addition, unless (i)
if such series of Preferred Stock has a cumulative distribution, full
cumulative distributions on all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred
Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a
sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past
distribution periods and the then current distribution period, or (ii) if such
series of Preferred Stock does not have a cumulative distribution, full
distributions on the Preferred Stock
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
of such series have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment
for the then current distribution period, the Company shall not purchase or
otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of such series of
Preferred Stock (except by conversion into or exchange for capital shares of
the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Stock of such series as to
distributions and upon liquidation); provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of Preferred Stock of
such series to preserve the REIT status of the Company or pursuant to a
purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of such series.
 
  If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of any series
are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed will be determined by
the Company and such shares may be redeemed pro rata from the holders of
record of such shares in proportion to the number of such shares held or for
which redemption is requested by such holder (with adjustments to avoid
redemption of fractional shares) or by any other equitable manner determined
by the Company.
 
  Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the redemption date to each holder of record of Preferred Stock of
any series to be redeemed at the address shown on the stock transfer books of
the Company. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number
of shares and series of the Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the
redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such
Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v)
that distributions on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such
redemption date; and (vi) the date upon which the holder's conversion rights,
if any, as to such shares shall terminate. If fewer than all the shares of
Preferred Stock of any series are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to each
such holder thereof shall also specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock
to be redeemed from each such holder. If notice of redemption of any Preferred
Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been
set aside by the Company in trust for the benefit of the holders of any
Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption
date distributions will cease to accrue on such Preferred Stock, and all
rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to
receive the redemption price.
 
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
 
  Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment shall be
made to the holders of any Common Stock, Price Group Stock, Excess Stock or
any other class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to
the Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of each series of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Company
legally available for distribution to stockholders liquidating distributions
in the amount of the liquidation preference per share, if any, set forth in
the applicable Prospectus Supplement, plus an amount equal to all
distributions accrued and unpaid thereon (which shall not include any
accumulation in respect of unpaid noncumulative distributions for prior
distribution periods). After payment of the full amount of the liquidating
distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Preferred Stock will
have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. In the
event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the available assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the
amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or
series of capital stock of the Company ranking on a parity with the Preferred
Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Preferred Stock
and all other such classes or series of capital stock ranking on parity with
the Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in
proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise
be respectively entitled.
 
  If liquidating distributions shall have been made in full to all holders of
Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed
among the holders of any other classes or series of capital stock ranking
junior to the Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
according to their respective rights and preferences and in each case
according to their respective number of shares. For such purposes, the
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation,
trust or entity, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all
of the property or business of the Company, shall not be deemed to constitute
a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
 
VOTING RIGHTS
 
  Holders of the Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except as
set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law or as
indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
  Unless provided otherwise for any series of Preferred Stock, so long as any
shares of Preferred Stock of a series remain outstanding, the Company will
not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a
majority of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock outstanding at the
time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such
series voting separately as a class), (i) authorize or create, or increase the
authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking
prior to such series of Preferred Stock with respect to payment of
distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up or reclassify any authorized capital stock of the Company into such
shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible
into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, or (ii) amend, alter
or repeal the provisions of the Charter or the Articles Supplementary for such
series of Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise (an
"Event"), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference,
privilege or voting power of such series of Preferred Stock or the holders
thereof; provided, however, with respect to the occurrence of any Event set
forth in (ii) above, so long as the Preferred Stock remains outstanding with
the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that upon the
occurrence of an Event the Company may not be the surviving entity, the
occurrence of any such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely
affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of
Preferred Stock; and provided further that (a) any increase in the amount of
the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other series
of Preferred Stock or (b) any increase in the amount of authorized shares of
such series or any other series of Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a
parity with or junior to the Preferred Stock of such series with respect to
payment of distributions or the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely
affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.
 
  The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time
when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall
be effected, all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall
have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have
been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
 
CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
  The terms and conditions, if any, upon which any series of Preferred Stock
is convertible into Common Stock will be set forth in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Such terms will include the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are
convertible, the conversion price or rate (or manner of calculation thereof),
the conversion period, provisions as to whether conversion will be at the
option of the holders of the Preferred Stock or the Company, the events
requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and the provisions affecting
conversion in the event of the redemption of such series of Preferred Stock.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP
 
  The provisions contained in the Company's Charter restricting certain
transfers of shares of Equity Stock and limiting the beneficial ownership,
directly or indirectly, of the Company's outstanding Equity Stock will effect
any shares of Preferred Stock that may from time to time be issued by the
Company. See "Restrictions on Transfers of Capital Stock."
 
TRANSFER AGENT
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Stock will be set forth
in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

                     DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
 
  The Company may issue Common Stock Warrants for the purchase of Common
Stock. Common Stock Warrants may be issued independently or together with any
other Offered Securities offered by any Prospectus Supplement and may be
attached to or separate from such Offered Securities. Each series of Common
Stock Warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement (each, a
"Warrant Agreement") to be entered into between the Company and a warrant
agent specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (the "Warrant Agent").
The Warrant Agent will act solely as an agent of the Company in connection
with the Common Stock Warrants of such series and will not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or
beneficial owners of Common Stock Warrants. The following description of the
Common Stock Warrants sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the
Common Stock Warrants to which any Prospectus Supplement may relate. The
statements below describing the Common Stock Warrants and the applicable
Warrant Agreements are in all respects subject to and qualified in their
entirety by any further terms and provisions that may be set forth in any
applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
  The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the terms of the Common
Stock Warrants in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered,
including, where applicable, the following:
 
    (1)  the title of such Common Stock Warrants;
 
    (2)  the aggregate number of such Common Stock Warrants;
 
    (3)  the price or prices at which such Common Stock Warrants will be
         issued;
 
    (4)  the designation, number and terms of the shares of Common Stock
         purchasable upon exercise of such Common Stock Warrants;
 
    (5)  the designation and terms of the other Offered Securities with which
         such Common Stock Warrants are issued and the number of such Common
         Stock Warrants issued with each such Offered Security;
 
    (6)  the date, if any, on and after which such Common Stock Warrants and
         the related Common Stock will be separately transferable;
 
    (7)  the price at which each share of Common Stock purchasable upon
         exercise of such Common Stock Warrants may be purchased;
 
    (8)  the date on which the right to exercise such Common Stock Warrants
         shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;
 
    (9)  the minimum or maximum amount of such Common Stock Warrants which
         may be exercised at any one time;
 
    (10) information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;
 
    (11) a discussion of certain federal income tax considerations; and
 
    (12) any other terms of such Common Stock Warrants, including terms,
         procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of
         such Common Stock Warrants.
 
  Each Common Stock Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase such
number of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, at such exercise price
as shall, in each case, be set forth in, or calculable from, the applicable
Prospectus Supplement relating to the offered Common Stock Warrants. Prior to
the exercise of any Common Stock Warrants, holders of such Common Stock
Warrants will not have any rights of holders of Common Stock, including the
right to receive payments of distributions, if any, on such Common Stock, or
to exercise any applicable right to vote. After the close of business on the
expiration date of any series of Common Stock Warrants (or such later date to
which such expiration date may be extended by the Company), unexercised Common
Stock Warrants will become void.
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
  Common Stock Warrants may be exercised by delivering to the Warrant Agent
payment, as provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, of the amount
required to purchase the Common Stock purchasable upon such exercise and
otherwise by following the procedures specified in such Prospectus Supplement.
 
  The Warrant Agreements may be amended or supplemented without the consent of
the holders of the Common Stock Warrants issued thereunder to effect changes
that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Common Stock Warrants and
that do not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Common Stock
Warrants.
 
  Reference is made to the section captioned "Description of Common Stock" for
a general description of the Common Stock to be acquired upon the exercise of
the Common Stock Warrants, including a description of certain restrictions on
the ownership of Common Stock.
 
                       DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
 
GENERAL
 
  The Company may issue receipts ("Depositary Receipts") for Depositary
Shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest of a share of a
particular series of Preferred Stock, as specified in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement. Shares of Preferred Stock of each series represented by
Depositary Shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement (each,
a "Deposit Agreement") among the Company, the depositary named therein (a
"Preferred Stock Depositary") and the holders from time to time of the
Depositary Receipts. Subject to the terms of the applicable Deposit Agreement,
each owner of a Depositary Receipt will be entitled, in proportion to the
fractional interest of a share of a particular series of Preferred Stock
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Depositary Receipt, to
all the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock represented by such
Depositary Shares (including distribution, voting, conversion, redemption and
liquidation rights).
 
  The Depositary Shares will be evidenced by Depositary Receipts issued
pursuant to the applicable Deposit Agreement. Immediately following the
issuance and delivery of the Preferred Stock by the Company to a Preferred
Stock Depositary, the Company will cause such Preferred Stock Depositary to
issue, on behalf of the Company, the Depositary Receipts. Copies of the
applicable form of Deposit Agreement and Depositary Receipt may be obtained
from the Company upon request, and the statements made hereunder relating to
Deposit Agreements and the Depositary Receipts to be issued thereunder are
summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be
complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to,
all of the provisions of the applicable Deposit Agreement and related
Depositary Receipts.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  A Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to distribute all cash
distributions received in respect of the applicable Preferred Stock to the
record holders of Depositary Receipts evidencing the related Depositary Shares
in proportion to the number of such Depositary Receipts owned by such holders,
subject to certain obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and
other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to such Preferred
Stock Depositary.
 
  In the event of a distribution other than in cash, a Preferred Stock
Depositary will be required to distribute property received by it to the
record holders of Depositary Receipts entitled thereto, subject to certain
obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and
to pay certain charges and expenses to such Preferred Stock Depositary, unless
such Preferred Stock Depositary determines that it is not feasible to make
such distribution, in which case such Preferred Stock Depositary may, with the
approval of the Company, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds
from such sale to such holders.
 
  No distribution will be made in respect of any Depositary Share to the
extent that it represents any Preferred Stock which has been converted or
exchanged.
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
WITHDRAWAL OF STOCK
 
  Upon surrender of the Depositary Receipts at the corporate trust office of
the applicable Preferred Stock Depositary (unless the related Depositary
Shares have previously been called for redemption or converted), the holders
thereof will be entitled to delivery at such office, to or upon each such
holder's order, of the number of whole or fractional shares of the applicable
Preferred Stock and any money or other property represented by the Depositary
Shares evidenced by such Depositary Receipts. Holders of Depositary Receipts
will be entitled to receive whole or fractional shares of the related
Preferred Stock on the basis of the proportion of Preferred Stock represented
by each Depositary Share as specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement,
but holders of such shares of Preferred Stock will not thereafter be entitled
to receive Depositary Shares therefor. If the Depositary Receipts delivered by
the holder evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of
Depositary Shares representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be
withdrawn, the applicable Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to
deliver to such holder at the same time a new Depositary Receipt evidencing
such excess number of Depositary Shares.
 
REDEMPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
 
  Whenever the Company redeems shares of Preferred Stock held by a Preferred
Stock Depositary, such Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to redeem
as of the same redemption date the number of Depositary Shares representing
shares of the Preferred Stock so redeemed, provided the Company shall have
paid in full to such Preferred Stock Depositary the redemption price of the
Preferred Stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid
distributions thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price
per Depositary Share will be equal to the redemption price and any other
amounts per share payable with respect to the Preferred Stock. If fewer than
all the Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be
redeemed will be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without
creating fractional Depositary Shares) or by any other equitable method
determined by the Company that preserves the REIT status of the Company.
 
  From and after the date fixed for redemption, all distributions in respect
of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption will cease to
accrue, the Depositary Shares so called for redemption will no longer be
deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the Depositary
Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares so called for redemption will cease,
except the right to receive any moneys payable upon such redemption and any
money or other property to which the holders of such Depositary Receipts were
entitled upon such redemption upon surrender thereof to the applicable
Preferred Stock Depositary.
 
VOTING OF THE PREFERRED STOCK
 
  Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the applicable
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, a Preferred Stock Depositary will be
required to mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the
record holders of the Depositary Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares
which represent such Preferred Stock. Each record holder of Depositary
Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares on the record date (which will be the
same date as the record date for the Preferred Stock) will be entitled to
instruct such Preferred Stock Depositary as to the exercise of the voting
rights pertaining to the amount of Preferred Stock represented by such
holder's Depositary Shares. Such Preferred Stock Depositary will be required
to vote the amount of Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares in
accordance with such instructions, and the Company will agree to take all
reasonable action which may be deemed necessary by such Preferred Stock
Depositary in order to enable such Preferred Stock Depositary to do so. Such
Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to abstain from voting the amount
of Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares to the extent it does
not receive specific instructions from the holders of Depositary Receipts
evidencing such Depositary Shares. A Preferred Stock Depositary will not be
responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote, or for the
manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as such action or non-action
is in good faith and does not result from negligence or willful misconduct of
such Preferred Stock Depositary.
 
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
 
  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each Depositary Receipt will
be entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
share of Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Share evidenced by such
Depositary Receipt, as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Depositary Shares, as such, will not be convertible into Common Stock or
any other securities or property of the Company. Nevertheless, if so specified
in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Depositary
Shares, the Depositary Receipts may be surrendered by holders thereof to the
applicable Preferred Stock Depositary with written instructions to such
Preferred Stock Depositary to instruct the Company to cause conversion of the
Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such
Depositary Receipts into whole shares of Common Stock, other shares of
Preferred Stock of the Company or other shares of stock, and the Company will
agree that upon receipt of such instructions and any amounts payable in
respect thereof, it will cause the conversion thereof utilizing the same
procedures as those provided for delivery of Preferred Stock to effect such
conversion. If the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Depositary Receipt are to
be converted in part only, a new Depositary Receipt or Depositary Receipts
will be issued for any Depositary Shares not to be converted. No fractional
shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion, and if such conversion
will result in a fractional share being issued, an amount will be paid in cash
by the Company equal to the value of the fractional interest based upon the
closing price of the Common Stock on the last business day prior to the
conversion.
 
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF A DEPOSIT AGREEMENT
 
  Any form of Depositary Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares which will
represent Preferred Stock and any provision of a Deposit Agreement will be
permitted at any time to be amended by agreement between the Company and the
applicable Preferred Stock Depositary. However, any amendment that materially
and adversely alters the rights of the holders of Depositary Receipts or that
would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the
holders of the related Preferred Stock will not be effective unless such
amendment has been approved by the existing holders of at least two-thirds of
the applicable Depositary Shares evidenced by the applicable Depositary
Receipts then outstanding. No amendment shall impair the right, subject to
certain anticipated exceptions in the Deposit Agreements, of any holders of
Depositary Receipts to surrender any Depositary Receipt with instructions to
deliver to the holder the related Preferred Stock and all money and other
property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with any
applicable law. Every holder of an outstanding Depositary Receipt at the time
any such amendment becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold
such Depositary Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be
bound by the applicable Deposit Agreement as amended thereby.
 
  A Deposit Agreement will be permitted to be terminated by the Company upon
not less than 30 days' prior written notice to the applicable Preferred Stock
Depositary if (i) such termination is necessary to preserve the Company's
status as a REIT or (ii) a majority of each series of Preferred Stock affected
by such termination consents to such termination, whereupon such Preferred
Stock Depositary will be required to deliver or make available to each holder
of Depositary Receipts, upon surrender of the Depositary Receipts held by such
holder, such number of whole or fractional shares of Preferred Stock as are
represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Depositary Receipts
together with any other property held by such Preferred Stock Depositary with
receipts to such Depositary Receipts. The Company will agree that if a Deposit
Agreement is terminated to preserve the Company's status as a REIT, then the
Company will use its best efforts to list the Preferred Stock issued upon
surrender of the related Depositary Shares on a national securities exchange.
In addition, a Deposit Agreement will automatically terminate if (i) all
outstanding Depositary Shares thereunder shall have been redeemed; (ii) there
shall have been a final distribution in respect of the related Preferred Stock
in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company
and such distribution shall have been distributed to the holders of Depositary
Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares representing such Preferred Stock;
or (iii) each share of the related Preferred Stock shall have been converted
into stock of the Company not so represented by Depositary Shares.

CHARGES OF A PREFERRED STOCK DEPOSITARY
 
  The Company will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges
arising solely from the existence of a Deposit Agreement. In addition, the
Company will pay the fees and expenses of a Preferred Stock Depositary in
connection with the performance of its duties under a Deposit Agreement.
However, holders of Depositary Receipts will pay the fees and expenses of a
Preferred Stock Depositary for any duties requested by such holders to be
performed which are outside of those expressly provided for in the applicable
Deposit Agreement.
 
RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF A PREFERRED STOCK DEPOSITARY
 
  A Preferred Stock Depositary will be permitted to resign at any time by
delivering to the Company notice of its election to do so, and the Company
will be permitted at any time to remove a Preferred Stock Depositary, any such
resignation or removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor
Preferred Stock Depositary. A successor Preferred Stock Depositary will be
required to be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of
resignation or removal and will be required to be a bank or trust company
having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50 million.
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
  A Preferred Stock Depositary will be required to forward to holders of
Depositary Receipts any reports and communications from the Company which are
received by such Preferred Stock Depositary with respect to the related
Preferred Stock.
 
  Neither a Preferred Stock Depositary nor the Company will be liable if it is
prevented from or delayed in, by law or any circumstances beyond its control,
performing its obligations under a Deposit Agreement. The obligations of the
Company and a Preferred Stock Depositary under a Deposit Agreement will be
limited to performing their duties thereunder in good faith and without
negligence (in the case of any action or inaction in the voting of Preferred
Stock represented by the applicable Depositary Shares), gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and neither the Company nor any applicable Preferred Stock
Depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in
respect of any Depositary Receipts, Depositary Shares or shares of Preferred
Stock represented thereby unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. The
Company and any Preferred Stock Depositary will be permitted to rely on
written advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons
presenting shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby for deposit, holders
of Depositary Receipts or other persons believed in good faith to be competent
to give such information, and on documents believed in good faith to be
genuine and signed by a proper party.
 
  In the event a Preferred Stock Depositary shall receive conflicting claims,
requests or instructions from any holders of Depositary Receipts, on the one
hand, and the Company, on the other hand, such Preferred Stock Depositary
shall be entitled to act on such claims, requests or instructions received
from the Company.

                        DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
 
  The Debt Securities may be issued by the Operating Partnership. The Debt
Securities will be either (i) non-convertible investment grade Debt Securities
or (ii) non-convertible Debt Securities that are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by, and are accompanied by Guarantees of, the Company. The Debt
Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), between
the Operating Partnership and a trustee (a "Trustee"). The form of Indenture
has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part, subject to such amendments or supplements as may be
adopted from time to time and is available for inspection as described above
under "Available Information." The Indenture will be dated as of a date prior
to the issuance of the Debt Securities to which it relates. The Indenture is
subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The
statements made hereunder relating to the Indenture and the Debt Securities to
be issued thereunder are summaries of certain provisions thereof, do not
purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to, all provisions of the Indenture and such Debt Securities.
 
GENERAL
 
  The Debt Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Operating
Partnership and, unless subordinated (see "--Subordination" below), will rank
pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
Operating Partnership. The Debt Securities may be issued without limit as to
aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each case as established
from time to time, in or pursuant to authority granted by a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") on behalf of the
Operating Partnership or as established in one or more indentures supplemental
to the Indenture. All Debt Securities of one series need not be issued at the
same time and, unless otherwise provided in the Indenture, a series may be
reopened, without the consent of the holders of the Debt Securities of such
series, for issuances of additional Debt Securities of such series.
 
  The Indenture provides that the Operating Partnership may, but need not,
designate more than one Trustee thereunder, each with respect to one or more
series of Debt Securities. Any Trustee under the Indenture may resign or be
removed with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, and a successor
Trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series. In the event that
two or more persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of
Debt Securities, each such Trustee shall be a trustee of a trust under the
Indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other Trustee,
and, except as otherwise indicated herein, any action described herein to be
taken by the Trustee may be taken by each such Trustee with respect to, and
only with respect to, the one or more series of Debt Securities for which it
is Trustee under the Indenture.
 
  The following summaries set forth certain general terms and provisions of
the Indenture and the Debt Securities. The Prospectus Supplement relating to
the series of Debt Securities being offered will contain further terms thereof
and of the Guarantees, if any, relating to such Debt Securities, including,
where applicable, the following:
 
    (1)  the title of such Debt Securities, whether such are senior Debt
         Securities or subordinated Debt Securities;
 
    (2)  the aggregate principal amount of such Debt Securities and any limit
         on such aggregate principal amount;
 
    (3)  the percentage of the principal amount at which such Debt Securities
         will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof, the
         portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon declaration of
         acceleration of the maturity thereof;
 
    (4)  the date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates,
         on which the principal of such Debt Securities will be payable;
 
    (5)  the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable), or the method by
         which such rate or rates shall be determined, at which such Debt
         Securities will bear interest, if any;
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
     (6) the date or dates, or the method for determining such date or dates,
         from which any interest will accrue, the dates on which any such
         interest will be payable, the record dates for such interest payment
         dates, or the method by which any such date shall be determined, and
         the basis upon which interest shall be calculated if other than that
         of a 360-day year of 12 months consisting of 30 days each;
 
     (7) the place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and
         interest, if any, on such Debt Securities will be payable, such Debt
         Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
         exchange and notices or demands to or upon the Operating Partnership
         in respect of such Debt Securities, any applicable Guarantees and
         the Indenture may be served;
 
     (8) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and
         the terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities may be
         redeemed, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Operating
         Partnership, if the Operating Partnership is to have such an option;
 
     (9) the obligation, if any, of the Operating Partnership to redeem,
         repay or purchase such Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund
         or analogous provision or at the option of a holder thereof, and the
         period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the
         terms and conditions upon which such Debt Securities will be
         redeemed, repaid or purchased, as a whole or in part, pursuant to
         such obligation;
 
    (10) if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies in which such
         Debt Securities are denominated and payable, which may be a foreign

         currency or currencies, and the terms and conditions relating
         thereto;
 
    (11) whether the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any)
         or interest, if any, on such Debt Securities may be determined with
         reference to an index, formula or other method (which index, formula
         or method may, but need not be, based on a currency, currencies,
         currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies) and the
         manner in which such amounts shall be determined;
 
    (12) the events of default or covenants of such Debt Securities, to the
         extent different from or in addition to those described herein;
 
    (13) whether such Debt Securities will be issued in certificated and/or
         book-entry form;
 
    (14) whether such Debt Securities will be in registered or bearer form
         and, if in registered form, the denominations thereof if other than
         $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and, if in bearer form, the
         denominations thereof if other than $5,000 and terms and conditions
         relating thereto;
 
    (15) the applicability, if any, of the defeasance and covenant defeasance
         provisions described herein or any modification thereof;
 
    (16) if such Debt Securities are to be issued upon the exercise of debt
         warrants, the time, manner and place for such Debt Securities to be
         authenticated and delivered;
 
    (17) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such Debt Securities
         may be subordinated to other indebtedness of the Operating
         Partnership;
 
    (18) whether and under what circumstances the Operating Partnership will
         pay additional amounts on such Debt Securities in respect of any
         tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the
         Operating Partnership will have the option to redeem such Debt
         Securities in lieu of making such payment;
 
    (19) with respect to any Debt Securities that provide for optional
         redemption or prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events (such
         as a change of control of the Operating Partnership), (i) the
         possible effects of such provisions on the market price of the
         Operating Partnership's or the Company's securities or in deterring
         certain mergers, tender offers or other takeover attempts, and the
         intention of the Operating Partnership to comply with the
         requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act; (ii) whether the
         occurrence of the specified events may give rise to cross-defaults
         on other indebtedness such that payment on such Debt Securities may
         be effectively
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
        subordinated; and (iii) the existence of any limitation on the
        Operating Partnership's financial or legal ability to repurchase such
        Debt Securities upon the occurrence of such an event (including, if
        true, the lack of assurance that such a repurchase can be effected)
        and the impact, if any, under the Indenture of such a failure,
        including whether and under what circumstances such a failure may
        constitute an Event of Default; and
 
    (20) any other terms of such Debt Securities or of any Guarantees issued
         concurrently with such Debt Securities not inconsistent with the
         provisions of the Indenture.
 
  The Debt Securities may provide for less than the entire principal amount
thereof to be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof
("Original Issue Discount Securities"). If material or applicable, the federal
income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to Original Issue
Discount Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
  Except as described under "--Merger, Consolidation or Sale" or as may be set
forth in any Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture does not contain any other
provisions that would limit the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur
indebtedness or that would afford holders of the Debt Securities protection in
the event of (i) a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving the
Operating Partnership, the management of the Operating Partnership or any
affiliate of any such party, (ii) a change of control or (iii) a
reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving the
Operating Partnership that may adversely affect the holders of the Debt
Securities. In addition, subject to the limitations set forth under "--Merger,
Consolidation or Sale," the Operating Partnership may, in the future, enter
into certain transactions, such as the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets or the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership that would
increase the amount of the Operating Partnership's indebtedness or
substantially reduce or eliminate the Operating Partnership's assets, which
may have an adverse effect on the Operating Partnership's ability to service
its indebtedness, including the Debt Securities. In addition, restrictions on
ownership and transfers of the Company's capital stock are designed to
preserve its status as a REIT and, therefore, may act to prevent or hinder a
change of control. See "Description of Common Stock" and "Description of
Preferred Stock." Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement
for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or
additions to the events of default or covenants that are described below,
including any addition of a covenant or other provisions providing event risk
or similar protection.
 
  Reference is made to "--Certain Covenants" below and to the description of
any additional covenants with respect to a series of Debt Securities in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. Except as otherwise described in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement, compliance with such covenants generally may
not be waived with respect to a series of Debt Securities by the Board of
Directors on behalf of the Operating Partnership or by the Trustee unless the
holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Debt
Securities of such series consent to such waiver, except to the extent that
the defeasance and covenant defeasance provisions of the Indenture described
under "--Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" below apply to such
series of Debt Securities. See "--Modification of the Indenture."
 
DENOMINATIONS, INTEREST, REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
 
  Unless otherwise described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt
Securities of any series which are registered securities, other than
registered securities issued in global form (which may be of any
denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof and the Debt Securities which are bearer securities, other
than bearer securities issued in global form (which may be of any
denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $5,000.
 
  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any series of Debt
Securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee,
initially at the address which will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement, provided that, at the option of the Operating Partnership payment
of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as it appears in the applicable register or by wire transfer of funds
to such person at an account maintained within the United States.
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
  Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest
payment date with respect to a Debt Security ("Defaulted Interest") will
forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on the applicable regular record
date and may either be paid to the person in whose name such Debt Security is
registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special
Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the holder of such Debt Security not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner, all as more completely described in the
Indenture.
 
  Subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in book-
entry form, the Debt Securities of any series will be exchangeable for other
Debt Securities of the same series and of a like aggregate principal amount
and tenor of different authorized denominations upon surrender of such Debt
Securities at the corporate trust office of the applicable Trustee. In
addition, subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued
in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer thereof at the corporate trust office of the
applicable Trustee. Every Debt Security surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer. No service charge will be made for any registration of
transfer or exchange of any Debt Securities, but the Trustee or the Operating
Partnership may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith. If the applicable
Prospectus Supplement refers to any transfer agent (in addition to the
Trustee) initially designated by the Operating Partnership with respect to any
series of Debt Securities, the Operating Partnership may at any time rescind
the designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in the location
through which any such transfer agent acts, except that the Operating
Partnership will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of
payment for such series. The Operating Partnership may at any time designate
additional transfer agents with respect to any series of Debt Securities.
 
  Neither the Operating Partnership nor any Trustee shall be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities of any series
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
selection of Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the
close of business on (a) if such Debt Securities are issuable only as
registered securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption and (b) if such Debt Securities are issuable as bearer securities,
the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if
such Debt Securities are also issuable as registered securities and there is
no publication, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption,
(ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any registered security to be
redeemed in whole or in part, except, in the case of any registered security
to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, (iii) to
exchange any bearer security so selected for redemption except that such a
bearer security may be exchanged for a registered security of that series and
like tenor, provided that such registered security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Debt Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the
option of the holder, except the portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to
be so repaid.
 
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE
 
  The Operating Partnership may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all
or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other
entity, provided that (i) either the Operating Partnership shall be the
continuing entity or the successor entity (if other than the Operating
Partnership) formed by or resulting from any such consolidation or merger or
which shall have received the transfer of such assets shall expressly assume
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on all
of the Debt Securities and the due and punctual performance and observance of
all of the covenants and conditions contained in the Indenture; (ii)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any
indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Operating Partnership or any
subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Operating
Partnership or such subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of
Default under the Indenture, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of
time, or both, would become such an Event of Default, shall have occurred and
be continuing; and (iii) an officer's certificate and legal opinion covering
such conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee.
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
CERTAIN COVENANTS
 
  Existence. Except as permitted under "--Merger, Consolidation or Sale," the
Operating Partnership will be required to do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights
and franchises; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership shall not be
required to preserve any right or franchise if it determines that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
holders of the Debt Securities.
 
  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Operating Partnership is required to
pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied
or imposed upon it or any subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property
of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for
labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien
upon the property of the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Operating Partnership shall not be required to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge
or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings.
 
  Additional Covenants. Any additional or different covenants of the Operating
Partnership with respect to any series of Debt Securities will be set forth in
the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT, NOTICE AND WAIVER
 
  The Indenture provides that the following events are "Events of Default"
with respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (i) default
for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security
of such series; (ii) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any, on) any Debt Security of such series at its maturity; (iii) default in
making any sinking fund payment as required for any Debt Security of such
series; (iv) default in the performance of any other covenant of the Operating
Partnership contained in the Indenture (other than a covenant added to such
Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities issued
thereunder other than such series), such default having continued for 60 days
after written notice as provided in such Indenture; (v) default in the payment
of an aggregate principal amount exceeding a specified dollar amount of any
evidence of recourse indebtedness of the Operating Partnership or any
mortgage, indenture or other instrument under which such indebtedness is
issued or by which such indebtedness is secured, such default having occurred
after the expiration of any applicable grace period and having resulted in the
acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness, but only if such
indebtedness is not discharged or such acceleration is not rescinded or
annulled; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or
court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Operating
Partnership or any Significant Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) or any of
their respective property; and (vii) any other Event of Default provided with
respect to a particular series of Debt Securities. The term "Significant
Subsidiary" means each significant subsidiary (as defined in Regulation S-X
promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Operating Partnership.
 
  If an Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to Debt Securities
of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every
such case the applicable Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare
the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original
Issue Discount Securities or indexed securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Debt Securities
of that series to be due and payable immediately by written notice thereof to
the Operating Partnership (and to the applicable Trustee if given by the
holders). However, at any time after such a declaration of acceleration with
respect to Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt Securities then
outstanding under the Indenture, as the case may be) has been made, but before
a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
applicable Trustee, the holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of outstanding Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt
Securities then outstanding under the Indenture, as the case may be) may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (i) the Operating
Partnership shall have deposited with the applicable Trustee all required
payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on
the Debt Securities of
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
such series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding under the Indenture,
as the case may be), plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the applicable Trustee and (ii) all events of default, other than the non-
payment of accelerated principal (or specified portion thereof), or premium
(if any) or interest on the Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt
Securities then outstanding under the Indenture, as the case may be) have been
cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. The Indenture also provides that
the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Debt Securities of any series (or of all Debt Securities then outstanding
under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be) may waive any past default
with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (i) in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any
Debt Security of such series or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision
contained in the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the holder of each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby.
 
  The Trustee will be required to give notice to the holders of Debt
Securities within 90 days of a default under the Indenture unless such default
has been cured or waived; provided, however, that such Trustee may withhold
notice to the holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default with
respect to such series (except a default in the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Debt Security of such series
or in the payment of any sinking fund installment in respect of any Debt
Security of such series) if specified responsible officers of such Trustee
consider such withholding to be in the interest of such holders.
 
  The Indenture provides that no holders of Debt Securities of any series may
institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to such
Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the
applicable Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written
request to institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default from the
holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt
Securities of such series, as well as an offer of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it. This provision will not prevent, however, any holder of
Debt Securities from instituting suit for the enforcement of payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt
Securities at the respective due dates thereof.
 
  Subject to provisions in the Indenture relating to its duties in case of
default, no Trustee will be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights
or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of
any series of Debt Securities then outstanding under such Indenture, unless
such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity. The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities of any series (or of all Debt Securities then
outstanding under the Indenture, as the case may be) shall have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the applicable Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power
conferred upon such Trustee. However, a Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction which is in conflict with any law or the Indenture, which may
involve such Trustee in personal liability or which may be unduly prejudicial
to the holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining therein.
 
  Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, the Operating
Partnership will be required to deliver to each Trustee a certificate, signed
by one of several specified officers of the Company, stating whether or not
such officer has knowledge of any default under the Indenture and, if so,
specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof.
 
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
 
  Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted to be made
only with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of all outstanding Debt Securities or series of outstanding Debt
Securities which are affected by such modification or amendment; provided,
however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of
the holder of each such Debt Security affected thereby, (i) change the stated
maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest (or premium, if
any) on, any such Debt Security; (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or the
rate or amount of interest on, or any premium payable on redemption of, any
such Debt Security, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue
Discount Security that would be due and payable upon declaration of
acceleration of the maturity thereof or would be
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
provable in bankruptcy, or adversely affect any right of repayment of the
holder of any such Debt Security; (iii) change the place of payment, or the
coin or currency, for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any such Debt Security; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any such Debt Security; (v)
reduce the above-stated percentage of outstanding Debt Securities of any
series necessary to modify or amend the Indenture, to waive compliance with
certain provisions thereof or certain defaults and consequences thereunder or
to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth in such Indenture; or
(vi) modify any of the foregoing provisions or any of the provisions relating
to the waiver of certain past defaults or certain covenants, except to
increase the required percentage to effect such action or to provide that
certain other provisions may not be modified or waived without the consent of
the holder of such Debt Security.
 
  The Indenture provides that the holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of a series of outstanding Debt Securities have the right to
waive compliance by the Operating Partnership with certain covenants relating
to such series of Debt Securities in the Indenture.
 
  Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted to be made
by the Operating Partnership and the respective Trustee thereunder without the
consent of any holder of Debt Securities for any of the following purposes:
(i) to evidence the succession of another person to the Operating Partnership
as obligor under such Indenture; (ii) to add to the covenants of the Operating
Partnership for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Debt
Securities or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Operating
Partnership in such Indenture; (iii) to add events of default for the benefit
of the holders of all or any series of Debt Securities; (iv) to add or change
any provisions of such Indenture to facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities
in uncertificated form, provided that such action shall not adversely affect
the interests of the holders of the Debt Securities in any material respect;
(v) to change or eliminate any provisions of such Indenture, provided that any
such change or elimination shall become effective only when there are no Debt
Securities outstanding of any series created prior thereto which are entitled
to the benefit of such provision; (vi) to secure the Debt Securities; (vii) to
establish the form or terms of Debt Securities of any series; (viii) to
provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or facilitate
the administration of the trusts under such Indenture by more than one
Trustee; (ix) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in such
Indenture, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests
of holders of Debt Securities of any series in any material respect; or (x) to
supplement any of the provisions of such Indenture to the extent necessary to
permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge of any series of such Debt
Securities or of any applicable Guarantees, provided that such action shall
not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debt Securities of
any series in any material respect.
 
  The Indenture provides that in determining whether the holders of the
requisite principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of a series have
given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
thereunder or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of holders of Debt
Securities, (i) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security
that shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount of the principal
thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination
upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof, (ii) the principal
amount of a Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency that shall be
deemed outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the
issue date for such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of
an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the issue
date of such Debt Security of the amount determined as provided in (i) above),
(iii) the principal amount of an indexed security that shall be deemed
outstanding shall be the principal face amount of such indexed security at
original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such indexed
security pursuant to such Indenture, and (iv) Debt Securities owned by the
Operating Partnership or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any
affiliate of the Operating Partnership or of such other obligor shall be
disregarded.
 
  The Indenture contains provisions for convening meetings of the holders of
Debt Securities of a series. A meeting will be permitted to be called at any
time by a Trustee, and also, upon request, by the Operating Partnership or the
holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities
of such series, in any such case, upon notice given as provided in such
Indenture. Except for any consent that must be given by the holder of each
Debt Security affected by certain modifications and amendments of the
Indenture, any
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
resolution presented at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at
which a quorum is present may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities
of that series; provided, however, that, except as referred to above, any
resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be made, given or taken by
the holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in
principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of a series may be adopted
at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present
by the affirmative vote of the holders of such specified percentage in
principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities for that series. Any
resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of Debt
Securities of any series duly held in accordance with the Indenture will be
binding on all holders of Debt Securities of that series. The quorum at any
meeting called to adopt a resolution, and at any reconvened meeting, will be
persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that if any action
is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which may
be given by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal
amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of a series, the persons holding or
representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding
Debt Securities of such series will constitute a quorum.
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Indenture provides that if any
action is to be taken at a meeting of holders of Debt Securities of any series
with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action that such Indenture expressly provides may be
made, given or taken by the holders of such series and one or more additional
series: (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting and
(ii) the principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series
that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining
whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under such Indenture.
 
SUBORDINATION
 
  The terms and conditions, if any, upon which the Debt Securities are
subordinated to other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership will be set
forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Such terms
will include a description of the indebtedness ranking senior to the Debt
Securities, the restrictions on payments to the holders of such Debt
Securities while default with respect to such senior indebtedness is
continuing, the restrictions, if any, on payments to the holders of such Debt
Securities following an Event of Default, and provisions requiring holders of
such Debt Securities to remit certain payments to holders of senior
indebtedness. If this Prospectus is being delivered in connection with a
series of Debt Securities, which by its terms are subordinated to other
indebtedness of the Operating Partnership, the applicable Prospectus
Supplement or the information incorporated herein by reference will set forth
the approximate amount of such other indebtedness outstanding at the end of
the Operating Partnership's most recent fiscal quarter. If the applicable
Prospectus Supplement relates to Debt Securities that are guaranteed by the
Company, the terms and conditions, if any, upon which such guarantee may be
subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company will also be set forth.
 
DISCHARGE, DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
 
  The Operating Partnership may discharge certain obligations to holders of
any series of Debt Securities that have not already been delivered to the
applicable Trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and
payable or will become due and payable within one year (or scheduled for
redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with such Trustee, in
trust, funds in such currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable in
an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities in
respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such
deposit (if such Debt Securities have become due and payable) or to the stated
maturity or redemption date, as the case may be.
 
  The Indenture provides that, if certain provisions thereof are made
applicable to the Debt Securities of or within a series pursuant to such
Indenture, the Operating Partnership may elect either (i) to defease and be
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such Debt Securities
(except for the obligation to pay additional amounts, if any, upon the
occurrence of certain events of tax, assessment or governmental charge with
respect to payments on such Debt Securities and the obligations to register
the transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities, to replace temporary or
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, to maintain an office or
agency in respect of such Debt Securities and to hold moneys for payment in
trust) ("defeasance") or (ii) to be released from its obligations with respect
to such Debt Securities under certain sections of such Indenture (including
the restrictions described under "--Certain Covenants") and, if provided
pursuant to such Indenture, its obligations with respect to any other
covenant, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default with respect to such Debt
Securities ("covenant defeasance"), in either case upon the irrevocable
deposit by the Operating Partnership with the applicable Trustee, in trust, of
an amount, in such currency or currencies, currency unit or units of composite
currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable at stated
maturity, or Government Obligations (as defined below), or both, applicable to
such Debt Securities which through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such
Debt Securities, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon,
on the scheduled dates therefor.
 
  Such a trust will only be permitted to be established if, among other
things, the Operating Partnership has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the holders of such
Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant
defeasance had not occurred, and such opinion of counsel, in the case of
defeasance, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") or a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring
after the date of the Indenture.
 
  "Government Obligations" means securities which are (i) direct obligations
of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign
currency in which the Debt Securities of a particular series are payable, for
the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations
of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or
instrumentality of the United States of America or such government which
issued the foreign currency in which the Debt Securities of a particular
series are payable, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America or such other
government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the
option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt
issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such
Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any
such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the
holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such
custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to
the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the
custodian in respect of the Government Obligations or the specific payment of
interest on or principal of the Government Obligations evidenced by such
depository receipt.
 
  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if after
the Operating Partnership has deposited funds and/or Government Obligations to
effect defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to Debt Securities of
any series, (i) the holder of a Debt Security of such series is entitled to,
and does, elect pursuant to the Indenture or the terms of such Debt Security
to receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other
than that in which such deposit has been made in respect of such Debt
Security, or (ii) a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of
the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such deposit has
been made, the indebtedness represented by such Debt Security shall be deemed
to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt
Security as they become due out of the proceeds yielded by converting the
amount so deposited in respect of such Debt Security into the currency,
currency unit or composite currency in which such Debt Security becomes
payable as a result of such election or such Conversion Event based on the
applicable market exchange rate. "Conversion Event" means the cessation of use
of (i) a currency, currency
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
unit or composite currency both by the government of the country which issued
such currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or
other public institutions of or within the international banking community,
(ii) the European Currency Unit (the "ECU") both within the European Monetary
System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or
within the European Communities or, (iii) any currency unit or composite
currency other than the ECU for the purposes for which it was established.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, all
payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any
Debt Security that is payable in a foreign currency that ceases to be used by
its government of issuance shall be made in U.S. dollars.
 
  In the event the Operating Partnership effects covenant defeasance with
respect to any Debt Securities and such Debt Securities are declared due and
payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Event
of Default described in clause (iv) under "--Events of Default, Notice and
Waiver" with respect to certain sections of the Indenture (which sections
would no longer be applicable to such Debt Securities) or described in clause
(vii) under "--Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to any other
covenant as to which there has been covenant defeasance, the amount in such
currency, currency unit or composite currency in which such Debt Securities
are payable, and Government Obligations on deposit with the applicable
Trustee, will be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the
time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on
such Debt Securities at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event
of Default. However, the Operating Partnership would remain liable to make
payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration.
 
  The applicable Prospectus Supplement may further describe the provisions, if
any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any
modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the Debt
Securities of or within a particular series.
 
GUARANTEES
 
  If the Operating Partnership issues any Debt Securities that are rated below
investment grade at the time of issuance, the Company will fully and
unconditionally guarantee, on a senior or subordinated basis, the due and
punctual payment of principal of or premium, if any, and interest on such Debt
Securities, and the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund payments
thereon, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at a
maturity date, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or
otherwise. See "--Subordination." The applicability and terms of any such
Guarantees relating to a series of Debt Securities will be set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement relating to such Debt Securities.
 
GLOBAL SECURITIES
 
  The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more global securities (the "Global Securities") that will be
deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Global Securities may be issued
in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual
certificates evidencing Debt Securities in definitive form represented
thereby, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by a
depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such depositary or by a
nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such
depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such
depositary or a nominee of such successor.
 
  The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of
Global Securities, and certain limitations and restrictions relating to a
series of bearer Global Securities, will be described in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement relating to such series.

                  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, among other things, not
more than 50% in value of its outstanding Equity Stock may be owned, directly
or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (defined in the Code to include
certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first
year), and such Equity Stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons
during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first
year) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year.
 
  The Charter provides that, subject to certain exceptions specified in the
Charter, no stockholder may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the
attribution provisions of the Code (or by virtue of being deemed part of a
"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), more than
5% of the number or value of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company
(the "Ownership Limit"). The Board of Directors may waive the Ownership Limit
if evidence satisfactory to the Board of Directors is presented that such
Ownership Limit will not jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT. As a
condition to such waiver, the Board of Directors may require opinions of
counsel satisfactory to it and undertakings from the applicant with respect to
preserving the REIT status of the Company. The Ownership Limit will not apply
if the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company determine that
it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to attempt to qualify, or
to continue to qualify, as a REIT.
 
  If shares of Equity Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or shares which
would cause the Company to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons or
cause the Company to become "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code,
are issued or transferred to any person, such issuance or transfer shall be
null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the Equity
Stock. Shares issued or transferred that would cause any stockholder to own
more than the Ownership Limit or cause the Company to become "closely held"
under Section 856(h) of the Code will be exchanged automatically for shares of
Excess Stock. All Excess Stock will be transferred, without action by the
stockholder, to the Company as trustee of a trust for the exclusive benefit of
the transferee or transferees to whom the Excess Stock is ultimately
transferred. While the Excess Stock is held in trust, it will not be entitled
to vote, it will not be considered for purposes of any stockholder vote or the
determination of a quorum for such vote and it will not be entitled to
participate in any distributions made by the Company, except upon liquidation.
The intended transferee (provided he does not make a profit from the transfer)
may, at any time the Excess Stock is held by the Company in trust, transfer
the Excess Stock to any individual whose ownership of such Excess Stock would
be permitted under the Ownership Limit provision and would not cause the
Company to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons or cause the
Company to become to become "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code,
at which time the Excess Stock would automatically be exchanged for Common
Stock. In addition, the Company has the right, for a period of 90 days,
beginning on the later of the date of the transfer that caused the exchange
for Excess Stock and the date the Board has knowledge of the transfer, to
purchase all or any portion of the Excess Stock from the intended transferee
at the lesser of the price paid for the Equity Stock by the intended
transferee and the closing market price for the Equity Stock on the date the
Company exercises its option to purchase.
 
  The Charter provides that these restrictions will not preclude the
settlement of transactions entered into through the facilities of the NYSE.
 
  Each stockholder who owns, directly or by virtue of the attribution
provisions of the Code, more than 5% of the outstanding Equity Stock (or 1% if
there are fewer than 2,000 stockholders) must give written notice to the
Company containing the information specified in the Charter within 30 days
after January 1 of each year. In addition, each stockholder shall, upon
demand, be required to disclose to the Company in writing such information
with respect to the direct, indirect and constructive ownership of beneficial
interests as the Board of Directors deems necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Code applicable to REITs, to comply with the requirements of
any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such
compliance.
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
  The Charter excludes from the Ownership Limit the Price Group, which would
exceed the Ownership Limit as a result of the exchange of its OP Units for
Common Stock. Some members of the Price Group may also acquire additional
shares of Common Stock through the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, but in no
event will such persons be entitled to acquire additional shares such that the
five largest beneficial owners of the Company's shares of Equity Stock hold
more than 50% of the total outstanding shares of Equity Stock.
 
  In addition to preserving the Company's status as a REIT, the Ownership
Limit may have the effect of precluding an acquisition of control of the
Company without the approval of the Board of Directors.
 
                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
  The Company and/or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be, may sell
the Offered Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly to one or
more purchasers (including executive officers of the Company or other persons
that may be deemed affiliates of the Company), through agents or through a
combination of any such methods of sale. Any underwriter involved in the offer
and sale of the Offered Securities will be named in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement.
 
  The distribution of the Common Stock by the Company may be effected from
time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve block
transactions) on the NYSE or otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the
applicable rules of the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of Common Stock Warrants or through the
issuance of Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock (whether such Common
Stock Warrants or Preferred Stock is listed on a securities exchange or
otherwise), or a combination of such methods of distribution, at market prices
prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices or at negotiated prices.
 
  In connection with the sale of the Offered Securities, underwriters or
agents may receive compensation from the Company or the Operating Partnership
or from purchasers of the Offered Securities, for whom they may act as agents
in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell
the Offered Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as
agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution
of the Offered Securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the
Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from the Company
or the Operating Partnership and any profit on the resale of the Offered
Securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be
identified, and any such compensation received from the Company or the
Operating Partnership will be described, in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement.
 
  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each
series of the Offered Securities will be a new issue with no established
trading market, other than the Common Stock which is listed on the NYSE. Any
shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement will be listed
on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. The Company or the
Operating Partnership, as the case may be, may elect to list any series of
Preferred Stock on an exchange, but is not obligated to do so. It is possible
that one or more underwriters may make a market in a series of the Offered
Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market
making at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to
the liquidity of, or the trading market for, the Offered Securities.
 
  Under agreements into which the Company or the Operating Partnership may
enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of
the Offered Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Company or
the Operating Partnership against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
  Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform
services for, or be tenants of, the Company or the Operating Partnership in
the ordinary course of business.
 
  In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the Offered Securities will be sold in such jurisdictions only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain
states the Offered Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered
or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
 
  Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the Offered Securities may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the Offered Securities for
a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Operating Partnership and the Notes thereto
appearing elsewhere herein.
 
  The Operating Partnership is primarily engaged in the ownership, leasing,
management, operation, development, redevelopment and acquisition of retail
properties in the Intermountain Region, as well as in Oregon, Washington and
California. At September 30, the Operating Partnership's portfolio consists of
46 Properties, including 14 enclosed regional malls, 24 community centers, two
freestanding retail properties and six mixed-use commercial properties. The
Operating Partnership's financial condition and results of operations were
positively impacted by the Operating Partnership's August 13, 1997 opening of
Spokane Valley Mall, June 30, 1997 acquisition of Visalia Mall, June 1, 1997
acquisition of Silver Lake Mall, the 1996 acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall,
the 1995 acquisition of two regional malls, Eastridge Mall and Animas Valley
Mall, and one community center, Cottonwood Square. The Operating Partnership's
acquisition and development activities added a combined 3,220,000 square feet
of Gross Leasable Area ("GLA") to the retail portfolio and 305,000 square feet
of GLA to the commercial portfolio during 1995, 1996 and through September 30,
1997.
 
  The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT.
The Company completed an additional public offering in August 1995, raising
approximately $56.4 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 2,750,000
shares of its Common Stock. An additional public offering was completed in
January 1997, raising approximately $40.7 million in gross proceeds through
the sale of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company purchased units of
limited partner interest ("OP Units") in the Operating Partnership with the
proceeds from these offerings. The Operating Partnership issued 2,750,000 OP
Units in 1995 and 1,500,000 OP Units in 1997 from these transactions.
 
  During 1995, the Operating Partnership obtained a $50 million credit
facility (the "1995 Credit Facility") to fund working capital and property
acquisition, expansion and development activities. On January 22, 1996, the
Operating Partnership obtained an additional $25 million credit facility (the
"1996 Credit Facility," together with the 1995 Credit Facility, the "Credit
Facilities"). In October 1997, the Operating Partnership replaced the Credit
Facilities with a new $150 million credit facility (the "1997 Credit
Facility").
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The financial statement results presented for the period January 21, 1994
through December 31, 1994 reflect a 345 day period and are not indicative of
the Operating Partnership's performance on an annual basis. In order to show
annualized results, the Operating Partnership has combined its 1994 operations
with the 20 day period from January 1, 1994 to January 20, 1994 operations of
its Predecessor Companies to compare it to the full year ended December 31,
1995. The Operating Partnership believes presentation in this manner provides
a more meaningful discussion of year-to-year results.
 
 Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 1997 to nine months ended
September 30, 1996
 
  Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased
$4,919,000 or 9% to $58,765,000 as compared to $53,846,000 in 1996. This
increase is primarily attributable to a $3,321,000 or 9% increase in minimum
rents to $41,761,000 as compared to $38,440,000 in 1996. Additionally, other
income increased $370,000 due to development and leasing fees relating to the
opening of the Spokane Valley Mall.
 
  The increase in minimum rents was primarily due to the April 1996
acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall, the June 1997 acquisitions of Silver Lake
Mall and Visalia Mall and the August 13, 1997 opening of Spokane Valley Mall
offset somewhat by certain unexpected vacancies in the retail and commercial
properties.
 
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
  Recoveries from tenants increased $1,385,000 or 12% to $12,911,000 as
compared to $11,526,000 in 1996. Operating and maintenance increased $840,000
or 10% and real estate taxes and insurance increased $81,000. These increases
are mainly due to the 1996 acquisition of Grand Teton Mall property and the
June 1997 acquisitions of Silver Lake Mall and Visalia Mall. Grand Teton Mall,
Silver Lake Mall, Visalia Mall and Spokane Valley Mall had tenant recoveries
of $1,286,000 and operating and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance
of $1,330,000. Recoveries from tenants as a percentage of property operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were 84% compared to 80%
in 1996.
 
  General and administrative expenses increased $234,000 or 6% to $4,014,000
as compared to $3,780,000. The main increase is the result of increased
payroll costs from additional personnel added to support the Company's growth.
 
  Depreciation and amortization increased $653,000 or 7% to $9,576,000 as
compared to $8,923,000 in 1996. This increase is primarily due to the
acquisitions of Grand Teton Mall, Silver Lake Mall, Visalia Mall, the opening
of the Spokane Valley Mall and tenant allowances given on existing GLA.
 
  Interest expense increased $204,000 or 4% to $5,899,000 as compared to
$5,695,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily a result of borrowings to
acquire Silver Lake Mall, Visalia Mall and borrowings to construct Spokane
Valley Mall. The increase is offset by interest in 1996 on Grand Teton Mall
purchase. The debt was repaid in February 1997.
 
  Net income increased $2,867,000, or 17%, to $19,942,000 as compared to
$17,075,000 in 1996. The increase is mainly due to the items discussed above
namely the acquisitions of Grand Teton Mall, Silver Lake Mall and Visalia
Mall, and the opening of the Spokane Valley Mall. Additionally, net income was
increased by the gain on sales of real estate (Arctic Circle Granger) at a
gain of $339,000 as compared to gain on sales of real estate in 1996 of
$94,000.
 
 Comparison of year ended December 31, 1996 to year ended December 31, 1995
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1996, net income increased $5,769,000, or
25%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The improvement in
operations was primarily attributable to the following factors: an increase in
minimum rents of $8,807,000; an increase in percentage and overage rents of
$596,000; and an increase in recoveries from tenants of $3,305,000. These
increases were offset by a decrease in interest and other income of $709,000;
an increase in operating expenses of $3,801,000; an increase in general and
administrative expense of $215,000; and an increase in interest expense of
$1,153,000. These were also offset by an increase in depreciation and
amortization of $451,000.
 
  Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased $11,999,000,
or 20%, to $72,949,000 as compared to $60,950,000 in 1995. This increase is
primarily attributable to an $8,807,000, or 20%, increase in minimum rents to
$52,447,000 as compared to $43,640,000 in 1995. Additionally, percentage and
overage rents increased $596,000, or 17%, to $4,061,000 as compared to
$3,465,000 in 1995.
 
  The April 1996 acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall, the June 1995
acquisitions of the Eastridge Mall and the Animas Valley Mall and the December
1995 acquisition of Cottonwood Square contributed a combined $6,915,000 to the
minimum rent increase and $459,000 to the percentage and overage rent increase
in 1996.
 
  Recoveries from tenants increased $3,305,000, or 27%, to $15,557,000 as
compared to $12,252,000 in 1995. Property operating expenses, including
operating and maintenance and real estate taxes and insurance increased
$3,014,000, or 35%, and $787,000, or 11%, respectively. These increases are
mainly due to the 1995 and 1996 property acquisitions. Recoveries from tenants
as a percentage of property operating expenses were 80% in 1996, compared to
79% in 1995.
 
  Interest expense increase $1,153,000, or 17%, to $7,776,000 as compared to
$6,623,000 in 1995. This increase resulted from additional borrowings used to
acquire the Grand Teton Mall in April 1996.
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
  Depreciation increased $620,000, or 6%, to $10,230,000 as compared to
$9,610,000 in 1995. This increase is primarily due to the 1995 and 1996
property acquisitions and the development of additional GLA at the Properties.
 
 Comparison of year ended December 31, 1995 to the combined year ended
December 31, 1994
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1995, income before extraordinary item
increased by $4,288,000, or 23%, when compared to the year ended December 31,
1994. The improvement in operations was primarily attributable to the
following factors: an increase in minimum rents of $5,949,000; an increase in
percentage and overage rents of $709,000; an increase in recoveries from
tenants of $1,854,000; a decrease in interest income of $168,000; an increase
in operating and maintenance expenses of $2,406,000; and a decrease in
interest expense of $76,000. These amounts were offset by an increase in
depreciation and amortization of $2,364,000.
 
  Minimum rents increased in 1995 by $5,949,000, or 16%. The increase was
primarily attributable to leasing of existing vacant spaces, higher minimum
rents on lease renewals and the acquisition of the Woodlands Village Shopping
Center on October 19, 1994, and Eastridge Mall and Animas Valley Mall on June
30, 1995, which acquisitions contributed minimum rents of $3,996,000.
 
  Percentage and overage rents increased in 1995 by $709,000, or 26%. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased sales by tenants paying
percentage rents and additional percentage rents paid by tenants of Eastridge
Mall and Animas Valley Mall.
 
  Recoveries from tenants increased in 1995 by $1,854,000, or 18%, while
operating and maintenance expenses in 1995 increased by $2,406,000, or 13%.
Property operating expenses that are incurred by the Operating Partnership are
generally passed through to the tenants of each Property in the form of common
area charges.
 
  Interest expense decreased in 1995 by $76,000, or 1%. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the retirement of debt during 1995 with proceeds
from the August 1995 additional public offering and other existing cash
balances.
 
  Depreciation and amortization expense increased in 1995 by $2,364,000, or
26%, due primarily to the amortization of capitalized costs associated with
the 1995 Credit Facility, additional depreciation related to the acquisition
of Eastridge Mall and Animas Valley Mall and the write-off of capitalized
tenant allowances for vacating tenants.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Operating Partnership's principal uses of its liquidity and capital
resources have historically been for distributions, property development,
expansion and renovation programs and debt repayment. The Operating
Partnership declared quarterly distributions aggregating $1.695 per OP Unit in
1996 and aggregating $1.305 for the first three quarters of 1997. Future
distributions will be determined based on actual results of operations and
cash available for distribution.
 
  The Operating Partnership's principal source of liquidity is its cash flow
from operations generated from its real estate investments. As of September
30, 1997, the Operating Partnership's cash and restricted cash amounted to
approximately $5.3 million. In addition to its cash and restricted cash,
unused capacity under its $50.0 million and $25.0 million Credit Facilities
totaled $7.5 million as of September 30, 1997. The 1997 Credit Facility
increased the Company's unused capacity to $65.0 million. On January 28, 1997,
the Company completed an additional public offering of 1,500,000 shares of
common stock, raising approximately $40.7 million in gross proceeds. The net
proceeds of approximately $38.8 million were contributed to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for OP Units and used to pay costs of the offering and
to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities by approximately
$38.6 million.
 
 
                                      32
<PAGE>
 
  The Operating Partnership's principal long-term capital requirements will be
the repayment of principal on the $95 million mortgage debt, which matures in
2001 and which may require principal payments in an amount necessary to reduce
the debt to $83.1 million as of January 21, 2000, and to retire outstanding
balances under the 1997 Credit Facility which is due in 2000.
 
  On July 30, 1996, Spokane Mall Development Company, a consolidated
partnership, of which the Operating Partnership is the General Partner,
entered into a $50.0 million construction facility to fund the development and
construction of the Spokane Valley Mall. The construction loan has a three-
year term with an optional two-year extension and is secured by the Spokane
Valley Mall and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. There are various
interest rates used to calculate interest which vary given the amount of
borrowing outstanding. The various interest rates ranged from 6.88 to 8.25
percent during 1996. Borrowings outstanding at September 30, 1997 on this loan
were $36.3 million.
 
  The Operating Partnership is also developing an enclosed regional mall in
Provo, Utah. The Provo project will also represent a future long-term capital
need for the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership expects to fund
this project through advances under the 1997 Credit Facility in combination
with construction financing. The availability of financing and the status of
other projects will influence the Operating Partnership's decision to proceed
with, and the pace of, the Provo development.
 
  The Operating Partnership is also contemplating the expansion and renovation
of several of its existing properties, additional development projects and
acquisitions as a means to expand its portfolio. Exclusive of construction and
development, capital expenditures (both revenue and non-revenue enhancing) for
the existing Properties are budgeted in 1997 to be approximately $4,200,000.
The Operating Partnership does not expect to generate sufficient funds from
operations to meet these long-term capital needs and intends to finance these
costs primarily through advances under the 1997 Credit Facility, together with
alternative funding sources, including public and private offerings of equity
and debt.
 
  The Operating Partnership intends to incur additional borrowings in the
future in a manner consistent with its policy of maintaining a ratio of debt-
to-total market capitalization of less than 50%. The Operating Partnership's
ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 28% at
September 30, 1997.
 
INFLATION
 
  Inflation has remained relatively low during the past three years and has
had minimal impact on the operating performance of the Properties.
Nonetheless, 93% of the retail tenants' leases contain provisions designed to
protect the Operating Partnership from the impact of inflation. Such
provisions include clauses enabling the Operating Partnership to receive
percentage rents based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as
prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rents during
the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms less
than ten years, which may enable the Operating Partnership to replace existing
leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals if rents of
the existing leases are below then-existing market rates. Substantially all of
the leases, other than those for anchors, require the tenants to pay a
proportionate share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance,
real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the Operating Partnership's
exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from
inflation.
 
  However, inflation may have a negative impact on some of the Operating
Partnership's other operating items. Interest and general and administrative
expenses may be adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could
increase at a rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with specified
rent increases, inflation may have a negative effect as the specified rent
increases in these leases could be lower than the increase in the inflation
rate at any given time.

                       FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
  The following summary of material federal income tax considerations relevant
to the Company is based on current law, and is not intended as tax advice. The
following discussion, which is not exhaustive of all possible tax
considerations, does not include a detailed discussion of any state, local or
foreign tax considerations. Nor does it discuss all of the aspects of federal
income taxation that may be relevant to a prospective holder of Offered
Securities in light of his or her particular circumstances or to certain types
of stockholders (including insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, financial
institutions or broker-dealers, foreign corporations and persons who are not
citizens or residents of the United States) who are subject to special
treatment under the federal income tax laws. The tax treatment of a holder of
any Offered Securities will also vary depending upon the terms of the specific
securities acquired by such holder. Additional federal income tax
considerations relevant to holders of the Offered Securities other than Common
Stock may be provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating
thereto.
 
  EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER OF COMMON STOCK IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR
HER OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF
THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK IN AN ENTITY ELECTING TO BE
TAXED AS A REIT, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE AND ELECTION, AND OF POTENTIAL
CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.
 
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
 
  General. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code, effective for its taxable year ended December 31,
1994. The Company believes that it was organized and has operated in such a
manner so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and the Company
intends to continue to operate in such a manner. No assurance, however, can be
given that the Company has operated in a manner so as to qualify, or will
continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify, as a REIT. Qualification and
taxation as a REIT depend upon the Company's ability to meet, on a continuing
basis, through actual annual operating results, distribution levels, diversity
of stock ownership, and the various other qualification tests imposed under
the Code on REITs, some of which are summarized below. While the Company
intends to operate so that it will qualify as a REIT, given the highly complex
nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual
determinations and the possibility of future changes in circumstances of the
Company, no assurance can be given that the Company has qualified or will so
qualify for any particular year. See "--Failure to Qualify."
 
  Prior to the issuance of any of the Offered Securities, Rogers & Wells LLP,
counsel to the Company ("Counsel"), will render an opinion to the effect that
commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994, the Company was
organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT
under the Code, and the proposed method of operation of the Company, the
Operating Partnership and its financing subsidiary (the "Financing
Partnership") will enable the Company to continue to so qualify. It must be
emphasized that Counsel's opinion is based on various assumptions and is
conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company, the Operating
Partnership and Financing Partnership as to factual matters. In addition,
Counsel's opinion is based upon factual representations of the Company
concerning its business and properties, and the business and properties of the
Operating Partnership and the Financing Partnership. Unlike a tax ruling, an
opinion of counsel is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the status of
the Company as a REIT. Moreover, such qualification and taxation as a REIT
depend upon the Company's ability to meet, through actual annual operating
results, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership and various other
qualification tests imposed under the Code discussed below, the results of
which will not be reviewed by Counsel. Accordingly, no assurance can be given
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
that the actual results of the Company's operation for any one taxable year
will satisfy such requirements. See "--Failure to Qualify."
 
  As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income
taxes on net income that it distributes currently to stockholders. However,
the Company will be subject to federal income or excise tax as follows: (i)
the Company will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT
taxable income and undistributed net capital gains; (ii) under certain
circumstances, the Company may be subject to the "alternative minimum tax" on
its items of tax preference, if any; (iii) if the Company has (1) net income
from the sale or other disposition of "foreclosure property" (generally,
property acquired by reason of a foreclosure or otherwise on default of a loan
secured by the property) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of business or (2) other nonqualifying net income from
foreclosure property, it will be subject to tax at the highest corporate rate
on such income; (iv) if the Company has net income from prohibited
transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of
property (other than dispositions of foreclosure property, and, as a result of
the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, enacted August 5, 1997 (the "Taxpayer Relief
Act"), effective for the Company's taxable year ending December 31, 1998,
dispositions of property that occur due to involuntary conversion) held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business), such
income will be subject to a 100% tax; (v) if the Company should fail to
satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test (as discussed
below), and has nonetheless maintained its qualification as a REIT because
certain other requirements have been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on
the net income attributable to the greater of the amount by which the Company
fails the 75% or 95% test, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect the
Company's profitability; (vi) if the Company should fail to distribute with
respect to each calendar year at least the sum of (1) 85% of its REIT ordinary
income for such year, (2) 95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such
year, and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior years, the Company
would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required
distribution over the amounts actually distributed; (vii) if the Company
acquires any asset from a C corporation (i.e., generally a corporation subject
to full corporate-level tax) in a transaction in which the basis of the asset
in the Company's hands is determined by reference to the basis of the asset
(or any other property) in the hands of the C corporation and the Company
subsequently recognizes gain on the disposition of such asset during the 10-
year period (the "Recognition Period") beginning on the date on which the
asset was acquired by the Company (or the Company first qualified as a REIT),
then the excess of (1) the fair market value of the asset as of the beginning
of the applicable Recognition Period, over (2) the REIT's adjusted basis in
such asset as of the beginning of such Recognition Period will be subject to
tax at the highest regular corporate rate (pursuant to Treasury Regulations
issued by the IRS which have not yet been promulgated).
 
  The following is a general summary of the Code provisions that govern the
federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its stockholders. These provisions
of the Code are highly technical and complex. This summary is qualified in its
entirety by the applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations and
administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.
 
  Requirements for Qualification. The Code defines a REIT as a corporation,
trust or association (1) that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;
(2) the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable common
stock, or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest; (3) that would
be taxable as a domestic corporation but for Sections 856 through 859 of the
Code; (4) that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company
subject to certain provisions of the Code; (5) that has the calendar year as
its taxable year; (6) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more
persons; (7) during the last half of each taxable year not more than 50% in
value of the outstanding stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by
five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain
entities); and (8) that meets certain other tests, described below, regarding
the nature of its income and assets. The Company believes that it currently
satisfies requirements (1) through (7). In addition, the Charter includes
restrictions regarding the transfer of the Company's Common Stock that are
intended to assist the Company in continuing to satisfy the share ownership
requirements described in (6) and (7) above. See "Restrictions on Transfers of
Capital Stock."
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
  In addition, the Company intends to continue to comply with the Treasury
Regulations requiring it to ascertain the actual ownership of its shares. The
Taxpayer Relief Act eliminates the rule that a failure to comply with these
Regulations will result in a loss of REIT status. Instead, a failure to comply
with these regulations will result in a fine. This provision will be effective
for the Company's taxable year ending December 31, 1998.
 
  The Company currently has one "qualified REIT subsidiary." A corporation
that is a "qualified REIT subsidiary" is not treated as a separate corporation
for federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities and items of
income, deduction and credit of a "qualified REIT subsidiary" are treated as
assets, liabilities and items of the REIT. In applying the requirements
described herein, the Company's "qualified REIT subsidiary" will be ignored,
and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of such
subsidiary will be treated as assets, liabilities and items of the Company.
The Company's "qualified REIT subsidiary" will therefore not be subject to
federal corporate income taxation, although it may be subject to state or
local taxation.
 
  In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, the REIT is deemed
to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and is deemed
to receive the income of the partnership attributable to such share. In
addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership
shall retain the same character in the hands of the REIT. Thus, the Company's
proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income of the
Operating Partnership and the Financing Partnership, are treated as assets,
liabilities and items of income of the Company for purposes of applying the
requirements described herein, provided that the Operating Partnership and the
Financing Partnership are treated as partnerships for federal income tax
purposes. See "--Other Tax Considerations--Effect of Tax Status of the
Operating Partnership and the Financing Partnership on REIT Qualification."
 
  Income Tests. In order to qualify as a REIT, there are three gross income
requirements that must be satisfied annually. First, at least 75% of the
REIT's gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for
each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments
relating to real property or mortgages on real property (including "rents from
real property" and, in certain circumstances, interest) or from certain types
of temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of the REIT's gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year
must be derived from the same items which qualify under the 75% gross income
test, and from dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of
stock or securities, or from any combination of the foregoing. Third, short-
term gain from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities, gain from
prohibited transactions and gain on the sale or other disposition of real
property held for less than four years (apart from involuntary conversions and
sales of foreclosure property) must represent less than 30% of the REIT's
gross income (including gross income from prohibited transactions) for each
taxable year. The Taxpayer Relief Act repeals the 30% gross income test for
taxable years beginning after its enactment. Thus, the 30% gross income test
will no longer apply after the Company's taxable year ending December 31,
1997.
 
  Rents received by the Company will qualify as "rents from real property" in
satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if
several conditions (related to the identity of the tenant, the computation of
the rent payable and the nature of the property leased) are met. The Company
does not anticipate receiving rents in excess of a de minimis amount of gross
annual revenue that fail to meet these conditions. Finally, for rents received
to qualify as "rents from real property," the Company generally must not
operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to tenants, other
than through an "independent contractor" from whom the Company derives no
revenue. The "independent contractor" requirement, however, does not apply to
the extent the services provided by the Company are "usually or customarily
rendered" in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are
not otherwise considered "rendered to the occupant." The Taxpayer Relief Act
provides a de minimis rule for non-customary services which is effective for
taxable years beginning after August 5, 1997. If the value of the non-
customary service income with respect to a property (valued at no less than
150% of the Company's direct cost of performing such services) is 1% or less
of the gross income derived from the property, then all rental income except
the non-customary service income will qualify as "rents from real property."
This provision will be effective for the Company's taxable year ending
December 31, 1998.
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
  The Company provides certain services with respect to the Properties through
the Operating Partnership, which is not an "independent contractor." However,
the Company believes all of the services provided by the Company through the
Operating Partnership are considered "usually or customarily rendered" in
connection with the rental of retail and other space for occupancy. If the
Company contemplates providing services in the future that may be reasonably
expected not to meet the "usual or customary" standard, it will arrange to
have such services provided by an independent contractor from which the
Company and the Operating Partnership will receive no income.
 
  The Company will receive some income that is not qualifying income for
purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. Such income includes
management and leasing fee income from the management by the Operating
Partnership of retail properties not wholly owned by the Operating Partnership
and certain parking income. Such income is not expected to exceed 1% to 2% of
the Operating Partnership's gross income and, therefore, will not cause the
Company to fail to satisfy the 75% or 95% gross income test.
 
  If the Company fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% or the 95% gross
income tests for any taxable year, it may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for
such year if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. It
is not possible, however, to state whether in all circumstances the Company
would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. Even if these
relief provisions were to apply, a tax would be imposed on certain excess net
income.
 
  Asset Tests. The Company, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year,
must also satisfy three tests relating to the nature of its assets: (i) at
least 75% of the value of the Company's total assets must be represented by
"real estate assets," cash, cash items and government securities; (ii) not
more than 25% of the Company's total assets may be represented by securities
other than those in the 75% asset class; and (iii) of the investments included
in the 25% asset class, the value of any one issuer's securities (other than
an interest in a partnership or shares of a "qualified REIT subsidiary" or
another REIT) owned by the Company may not exceed 5% of the value of the
Company's total assets, and the Company may not own more than 10% of any one
issuer's outstanding voting securities (other than an interest in a
partnership or securities of a "qualified REIT subsidiary" or another REIT).
 
  After initially meeting the assets tests at the close of any quarter, the
Company will not lose its status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset
tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset
values. If the failure to satisfy the asset tests results from an acquisition
of securities or other property during a quarter, the failure can be cured by
disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close
of that quarter. The Company maintains adequate records of the value of its
assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests and plans to take such other
action within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to
cure any noncompliance. However, there can be no assurance that such other
action will always be successful.
 
  Annual Distribution Requirements. To qualify as a REIT, the Company
generally must distribute to its stockholders at least 95% of its income each
year. In addition, the Company will be subject to regular capital gains and
ordinary corporate tax rates on undistributed income, and also may be subject
to a 4% excise tax on undistributed income in certain events. The Company
believes that it has made, and intends to continue to make, timely
distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirements. It
is possible, however, that the Company, from time to time, may not have
sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the distribution requirements.
In that event, the Company may cause the Operating Partnership to arrange for
short-term, or possibly long-term, borrowing to permit the payments of
required dividends.
 
  Under certain circumstances, the Company may be able to rectify a failure to
meet the distribution requirement for a year by paying a "deficiency dividend"
(plus applicable penalties and interest) within a specified period.
 
  Failure to Qualify. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT
in any taxable year and special relief provisions do not apply, the Company
will be subject to tax (including any applicable alternative minimum
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to
stockholders in any year in which the Company fails to qualify as a REIT will
not be deductible, nor will they be required to be made. In such event, to the
extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to
stockholders will be taxable as ordinary income and, subject to certain
limitations in the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for the
"dividends received deduction." Unless entitled to relief under specific
statutory provisions, the Company also will be disqualified from taxation as a
REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification
was lost. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances the Company
would be entitled to such statutory relief.
 
TAXATION OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
  Taxation of Taxable Domestic Stockholders. As long as the Company qualifies
as a REIT, distributions made to the Company's taxable domestic stockholders
out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as
capital gain dividends) will be taken into account by them as ordinary income,
and corporate stockholders will not be eligible for the dividends received
deduction as to such amounts. Distributions that are designated as capital
gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent they do
not exceed the Company's actual net capital gain for the taxable year) without
regard to the period for which the stockholder has held its stock. However,
corporate stockholders may be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital
gain dividends as ordinary income. The Taxpayer Relief Act provides that,
beginning with the Company's taxable year ending December 31, 1998, if the
Company elects to retain and pay income tax on any net long-term capital gain,
domestic stockholders of the Company would include in their income as long-
term capital gain their proportionate share of such net long-term capital
gain. A domestic stockholder would also receive a refundable tax credit for
such stockholder's proportionate share of the tax paid by the Company on such
retained capital gains and an increase in its basis in the stock of the
Company in an amount equal to the difference between the undistributed long-
term capital gains and the amount of tax paid by the Company. Distributions in
excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to
a stockholder to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis of the
stockholder's Common Stock, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of such
Common Stock. To the extent that such distributions exceed the adjusted basis
of a stockholder's Common Stock, they will be included in income as long-term
capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the Common Stock has been held for
one year or less), assuming the Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands
of the stockholder. In addition, any dividend declared by the Company in
October, November or December of any year and payable to a stockholder of
record on a specific date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by
the Company and received by the stockholder on December 31 of such year,
provided that the dividend is actually paid by the Company during January of
the following calendar year. Stockholders may not include in their individual
income tax returns any net operating losses or capital losses of the Company.
 
  In general, a domestic stockholder will realize capital gain or loss on the
disposition of Common Stock equal to the difference between (i) the amount of
cash and the fair market value of any property received on such disposition,
and (ii) the stockholder's adjusted basis of such Common Stock. Such gain or
loss generally will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the
stockholder has held such shares for more than one year. Under the Taxpayer
Relief Act, an individual, trust or estate that holds shares of Common Stock
for more than 18 months will be subject to a maximum tax of 20% on gains from
the sale or disposition of such shares. See "--Recent Legislation" below. Loss
upon a sale or exchange of Common Stock by a stockholder who has held such
Common Stock for six months or less (after applying certain holding period
rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of
distributions from the Company required to be treated by such stockholder as
long-term capital gain.
 
  Under certain circumstances, domestic stockholders may be subject to backup
withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to dividends paid.
 
  Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders. Distributions by the Company to a
stockholder that is a tax-exempt entity will not constitute "unrelated
business taxable income" ("UBTI"), provided that the tax-exempt entity has not
financed the acquisition of its Common Stock with "acquisition indebtedness"
within the meaning of
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
the Code and the Common Stock is not otherwise used in an unrelated trade or
business of the tax-exempt entity. In addition, under certain circumstances,
qualified trusts that own more than 10% (by value) of the Company's shares may
be required to treat a certain percentage of dividends as UBTI. This
requirement will only apply if the Company is a "pension-held REIT." The
restrictions on ownership in the Company's Charter should prevent the Company
from being treated as a pension-held REIT.
 
  Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders. The rules governing U.S. federal income
taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders (persons other than (i) citizens or
residents of the United States; (ii) corporations, partnerships or other
entities created or organized in the United States or any political
subdivisions thereof; or (iii) estates or trusts the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source) are complex,
and no attempt will be made herein to provide more than a very limited summary
of such rules. Prospective Non-U.S. Stockholders should consult with their own
tax advisors to determine the impact of U.S. federal, state and local income
tax laws with regard to an investment in Common Stock, including any reporting
requirements.
 
  Distributions that are not attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by
the Company of U.S. real property interests and not designated by the Company
as capital gain dividends will be treated as dividends and taxed as ordinary
income to the extent that they are made out of current or accumulated earnings
and profits of the Company. Such distributions are, generally, subject to a
withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution, unless
an applicable tax treaty reduces that tax. Distributions in excess of current
and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company will not be taxable to a
Non-U.S. Stockholder to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis
of the Non-U.S. Stockholder's Common Stock, but rather will reduce the
adjusted basis of such Common Stock. To the extent that such distributions
exceed the adjusted basis of a Non-U.S. Stockholder's Common Stock, they will
give rise to tax liability if the Non-U.S. Stockholder otherwise would be
subject to tax on any gain from the sale or disposition of his Common Stock as
described below (in which case they also may be subject to a 30% branch
profits tax if the stockholder is a foreign corporation). If it cannot be
determined at the time a distribution is made whether or not such distribution
will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, the
distribution will be subject to withholding tax at the rate applicable to
dividends. However, the Non-U.S. Stockholder may seek a refund of such amounts
from the IRS if it is subsequently determined that such distribution was, in
fact, in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits of the
Company.
 
  For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions that
are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by the Company of U.S. real
property interests will be taxed to a Non-U.S. Stockholder under the
provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980
("FIRPTA") at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S. stockholders
(subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative
minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). Also, distributions
subject to FIRPTA may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in the hands of a
corporate Non-U.S. Stockholder not entitled to treaty relief or exemption. The
Company is required by the Code to withhold 35% of any distribution that could
be designated by the Company as a capital gain dividend. This amount is
creditable against the Non-U.S. Stockholder's FIRPTA tax liability.
 
  Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Stockholder upon a sale of Common Stock will
generally not be taxed under FIRPTA if the Company is a "domestically
controlled REIT," defined generally as a REIT in which, at all times during a
specified testing period, less than 50% in value of the stock was held
directly or indirectly by foreign persons. The Company believes that it is a
"domestically controlled REIT" and, therefore, the sale of Common Stock will
not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA. If the gain on the sale of Common
Stock were to be subject to tax under FIRPTA, the Non-U.S. Stockholder would
be subject to the same treatment as U.S. stockholders with respect to such
gain (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax, possible withholding tax
and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien
individuals), and the purchaser of the Common Shares would be required to
withhold and remit to the IRS 10% of the purchase price.

OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
  Effect of Tax Status of the Operating Partnership and the Financing
Partnership on REIT Qualification. All of the Company's investments are
through the Operating Partnership and the Financing Partnership. The Company
believes that the Operating Partnership and the Financing Partnership are
properly treated as partnerships for tax purposes (and not as associations
taxable as corporations). If, however, the Operating Partnership or the
Financing Partnership were treated as an association taxable as a corporation,
the Company would cease to qualify as a REIT. Furthermore, in such a
situation, any partnership treated as a corporation would be subject to
corporate income taxes. Also, in such a situation, the Company would not be
able to deduct its share of any losses generated by any such partnership in
computing its taxable income.
 
  Tax Allocations with Respect to the Properties. The Operating Partnership
was formed by way of contributions of appreciated property (including certain
of the Properties). When property is contributed to a partnership in exchange
for an interest in the partnership, the partnership generally takes a
carryover basis in that property for tax purposes equal to the adjusted basis
of the contributing partner in the property, rather than a basis equal to the
fair market value of the property at the time of contribution (this difference
is referred to as a "Book-Tax Difference"). The partnership agreement of the
Operating Partnership and the Financing Partnership require allocations of
income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to contributed Property to be
made in a manner consistent with the special rules in Section 704(c) of the
Code, and the regulations thereunder, which tend to eliminate the Book-Tax
Differences with respect to the contributed Properties over the life of the
Operating Partnership. However, because of certain technical limitations, the
special allocation rules of Section 704(c) may not always entirely eliminate
the Book-Tax Difference on an annual basis or with respect to a specific
taxable transaction such as a sale. Thus, the carryover basis of the
contributed Properties in the hands of the Operating Partnership could cause
the Company to be allocated lower amounts of depreciation and other deductions
for tax purposes than would be allocated to the Company if all Properties were
to have a tax basis equal to their fair market value at the time of
acquisition. The foregoing principles also apply in determining the earnings
and profits of the Company for purposes of determining the portion of
distributions taxable as dividend income. The application of these rules over
time may result in a higher portion of distributions being taxed as dividends
than would have occurred had the Company purchased its interests in the
Properties at their agreed value.
 
  State and Local Taxes. The Company and its stockholders may be subject to
state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including
those in which it or they transact business or reside. The state and local tax
treatment of the Company and its stockholders may not conform to the federal
income tax consequences discussed above. Consequently, prospective
stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect
of state, local and other tax laws of any investment in the Common Stock of
the Company.
 
RECENT LEGISLATION
 
  In addition to changes to the requirements for qualification and taxation as
a REIT discussed above, the Taxpayer Relief Act also contains significant
changes to the taxation of capital gains of individuals, trusts and estates.
For gains realized after July 28, 1997, and subject to certain exceptions, the
maximum rate of tax on net capital gains of individuals, trusts and estates
from the sale or exchange of capital assets held for more than 18 months has
been reduced to 20%, and the maximum rate is reduced to 18% for assets
acquired after December 31, 2000 and held for more than five years. The
maximum rate for net capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable
real property held for more than 18 months is 25% to the extent of the
deductions for depreciation with respect to such property. Long term capital
gain allocated to a stockholder by the Company will be subject to the 25% rate
to the extent that the gain does not exceed depreciation on real property sold
by the Company. The maximum rate of capital gains tax for capital assets held
for more than one year but not more than 18 months remains at 28%. The
taxation of capital gains of corporations was not changed by the Taxpayer
Relief Act.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS PRESENTATION
 
Price Development Company, Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership")
was formed on September 13, 1993 under the Limited Partnership Law of Maryland
and commenced operations on January 21, 1994 when JP Realty, Inc. (the
"Company") completed an initial public offering ("IPO") and issued 13,029,500
Shares of common stock at $17.50 per share. Net proceeds of $206,198 were used
to purchase an approximate 78.18 percent general partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership. The Company is a real estate investment trust (REIT) as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Concurrent with the IPO, the partners
and owners of the predecessor companies contributed their properties to the
Operating Partnership, in exchange for limited partnership interests in the
Operating Partnership which became exchangeable after one year from the date
of the IPO, at the option of the holders of such interests, for common stock
in the Company. The predecessor companies are not a single legal entity but
rather a combination of real estate properties of a number of affiliated
partnerships, joint ventures and certain properties carved-out of an S-
Corporation, all having varying ownership interests in common.
 
Concurrent with the closing of the IPO, a majority owned financing partnership
of the Operating Partnership borrowed $95,000 through a private placement and
the Operating Partnership borrowed $9,000 from a bank. The net proceeds from
the IPO and the borrowings were used primarily to repay indebtedness, acquire
a 75% interest in a mall, pay certain expenses, and held as cash on hand for
operations and future acquisitions. The extraordinary item recognized in the
period January 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994 resulted from mortgage prepayment
penalties ($5,874) and the write-off of deferred financing costs ($796) on the
mortgage debt satisfied with the proceeds from the IPO.
 
On August 7, 1995, the Company sold 2,750,000 shares of common stock in an
underwritten public offering at $20.50 per share. Net proceeds of $52,887 were
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional
partnership units and were principally used to repay indebtedness incurred by
the Operating Partnership to fund acquisition activities.
 
On January 28, 1997, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock in an
underwritten public offering at $27.13 per share. Net proceeds of $38,600 were
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional
partnership units. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds to repay
borrowings under the $50,000 credit facility.
 
As a result of the aforementioned stock offerings and contribution of capital
to the Operating Partnership by the Company, it owned approximately 82.70
(unaudited), 81.66 and 81.28 percent general partnership interest of the
Operating Partnership as of September 30, 1997, December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
The Operating Partnership is primarily engaged in the business of owning,
leasing, managing, operating, developing and redeveloping malls, community
centers and other commercial properties. The tenant base includes primarily
national retail chains and local retail companies. Consequently, the Operating
Partnership's credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
CONSOLIDATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Operating Partnership and all partnerships in which the Operating Partnership
has a majority interest. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS--EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER PARTNERSHIP UNIT AMOUNTS)
 
The Operating Partnership's 30 percent limited partnership interest in Silver
Lake Mall is accounted for using the equity method. Commencing in 1996, the
Operating Partnership discontinued recording its proportionate interest in the
loss generated by this partnership as the Operating Partnership is not
required to fund such losses. On June 1, 1997, the Operating Partnership
acquired the remaining 70 percent interest in Silver Lake Mall and it is now
consolidated in the financial statements.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
Certain minimum rents are recognized monthly based upon amounts which are
currently due from tenants, when such amounts are not materially different
than recognizing the fixed cash flow over the initial term of the lease using
the straight-line method. All other minimum rents are recognized using the
straight-line method. Percentage rents are recognized monthly on an accrual
basis based on estimated annual amounts.
 
 
REAL ESTATE ASSETS
 
Real estate assets are stated at cost. At each balance sheet date, the
Operating Partnership reviews for possible impairment to the recorded book
values of real estate assets based upon expectations of future nondiscounted
cash flows (excluding interest) from each property. Depreciation is computed
on a straight-line basis generally over 40 years for buildings and four to ten
years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Major replacements and betterments which improve or extend the life
of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
lives.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Income taxes have not been provided in the accompanying financial statements
as the tax effects of the Operating Partnership's operations accrue directly
to the partners.
 
RESTRICTED CASH
 
Restricted cash reflects cash restricted under terms of a loan agreement to be
used for certain capital expenditures and funds held in reserve by a trustee
for interest payments on borrowings.
 
INTEREST AND REAL ESTATE TAXES
 
Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the construction period are
capitalized and depreciated over the lives of the constructed assets.
 
DEFERRED CHARGES
 
Third party costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing and initial tenant
leases are included in deferred charges in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related debt and lease agreements, as applicable.

USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123
"Accounting for Stock-based Compensation." The statement allows an entity to
elect either the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock
options or the intrinsic value based method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The new pronouncement was adopted
beginning January 1, 1996. The Operating Partnership has elected to continue
valuing stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value based method but has
included proforma disclosure in Note 11 showing the impact on net income and
earnings per partnership unit had the fair value based method prescribed by
SFAS 123 been utilized for financial reporting.
 
The Operating Partnership is required to adopt the Statement of Accounting
Standard No. 128 ("SFAS 128") as of December 31, 1997; earlier application is
not permitted. SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure
requirements for earnings per partnership unit. The Operating Partnership does
not believe that the adoption of SFAS 128 will have a material effect on the
Operating Partnership's method of calculation or display of earnings per
partnership unit.
 
 
INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA
 
The interim financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1997 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Operating Partnership, the
interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS
 
On June 30, 1995, the Operating Partnership acquired the Eastridge Mall located
in Casper, Wyoming and the Animas Valley Mall located in Farmington, New Mexico
for approximately $51,875. The acquisition was financed utilizing borrowings on
a $50,000 line of credit.
 
On April 4, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired the Grand Teton Mall
located in Idaho Falls, Idaho for approximately $34,400. The acquisition was

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended
December 31, 1996, is presented as if the acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall
had occurred on January 1, 1996. The unaudited pro forma financial information
for the year ended December 31, 1995 is presented as if the acquisition of the

partnership units to the Company and the acquisition of the Grand Teton Mall
had occurred on January 1, 1995.

collateralized by approximately $79,000 of the Operating Partnership's assets
at net book value. The credit facility bears interest at a floating rate equal
to 115 basis points over the established rate of AAA commercial paper and is
guaranteed by the Company. The facility also provides for commitment fees
equal to .25% on the unused line of credit amount. For the year ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, the Operating Partnership paid commitment fees totaling
$200 and $90, respectively. Borrowings outstanding at September 30, 1997

floating rate equal to 175 basis points over LIBOR, and provides a two-year
credit line with an option to extend for an additional year (which option was
exercised on January 24, 1997). The facility also provides for commitment fees

Spokane, Washington. The construction loan has a three-year term with an
optional two-year extension and is secured by the Spokane Valley Mall and
guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. There are various interest rates used
to calculate interest which vary given the amount of borrowing outstanding.

which authorizes the discretionary grant by the Executive Compensation
Committee, of options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to key employees of
the Company and the discretionary grant of nonqualified stock options to key
employees, directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of common
stock of the Company subject to option under the 1993 Stock Option Plan is
1,100,000. The proceeds received by the Company upon exercise of options are
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the issuance of an
equivalent number of partnership units. No stock options may be granted after
ten years from the date of adoption and options must be granted at a price
generally not less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock at
the date of grant. These options vest over a period of one to five years.

At December 31, 1996, 178,000 options are fully vested and exercisable.
 
The fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 were determined using
the following assumptions in the valuation method prescribed by SFAS 123. The
weighted average assumptions for 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free
interest rate ranged from 5.50% to 6.68% in 1996 and 6.96% in 1995, expected
life of 10 years, dividend yield of 7%, and expected volatility range of 16%
to 17% in 1996 and 20% for 1995. The fair values of options granted during
1996 and 1995 using the above assumptions are $43, and $16, respectively. Had
the Operating Partnership recorded the options at their fair value, net income
and earnings per unit for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 would
have been as follows:

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
  401(K) PLAN
 
During 1994, the Company adopted a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering
substantially all of the officers and employees of the Company and
subsidiaries which permits participants to defer up to a maximum of 15% of
their compensation. The Company will match 50% of the employee's contribution
up to a maximum of $1 per year. Employees who have completed at least one year
of service, working full-time, and have attained the age of 21 are eligible to
participate in the plan. The employees' contributions, together with
contributions from the Company are immediately vested. The Company's
contribution to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(which were reimbursed by the Operating Partnership) were $40, $40 and $22,
respectively. The 401(k) plan is fully funded at December 31, 1996.

  RETIREMENT PLAN
 
During 1995, the Company adopted a retirement plan covering substantially all
of the officers and employees of the Company, wherein the Company contributes
3% of the participant's base compensation. Employees working a minimum of
1,000 hours per year and who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to
participate in the plan. The Company's contribution vests 20% per year. Once
an employee has been with the Company five years, all contributions are fully
vested. Years of service include service with predecessor companies. The
Company's contribution to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 (which were reimbursed by the Operating Partnership) were $150 and $119,
respectively. The retirement plan is fully funded at December 31, 1996.
 
13. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by
management using available market information. Considerable judgment is
necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts the Operating Partnership could realize on disposition of the
financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair
value amounts.
 
Accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to
affiliates at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are carried at amounts which
reasonably approximate their fair values.
 
Borrowings with an aggregate carrying value of $162,375 and $106,406 have an
estimated aggregate fair value of $158,287 and $105,362 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Estimated fair value is based on interest rates
currently available to the Operating Partnership for issuance of borrowings
with similar terms and remaining maturities.

On April 4, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired the Grand Teton Mall
located in Idaho Falls, Idaho for approximately $34,400. The acquisition was
financed utilizing borrowings on the $50,000 credit facility. On January 28,
1997, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock in an underwritten
public offering at an offering price of $27.125 per share. Net proceeds of
$38,600 were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
additional partnership units. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds
to repay borrowings under the $50,000 Credit Facility. On June 1, 1997, the
Operating Partnership acquired the remaining 70% interest in Silver Lake Mall
by issuing 72,000 partnership units and assuming $24,755 in debt. On June 30,
1997, the Operating Partnership acquired Visalia Mall for $38,000 paying
$1,000 from operations and $37,000 from borrowings.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 is presented as
if the offering of common stock purchasing additional partnership units and
the acquisition of the properties purchased on June 1, 1997 and June 30, 1997
had occurred on January 1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement
of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 is presented as if the
public offering of common stock purchasing additional partnership units and
the acquisition of the properties purchased on April 4, 1996, June 1, 1997 and
June 30, 1997 had occurred on January 1, 1996.
 
Pro forma information is based upon the historical consolidated results of
operations of the Operating Partnership for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996, giving effect to
the transactions described above. The pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements and notes thereto of the Operating Partnership included
elsewhere herein.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the
Operating Partnership would have been assuming the transactions had been
completed as set forth above, nor does it purport to represent the Operating
Partnership's results of operations for future periods.

(A)Reflects the Operating Partnership's historical consolidated statement of
   operations for the period January 1, 1997 to September 30, 1997.
(B)Reflects revenues and certain expenses of the properties acquired on June
   1, 1997 and June 30, 1997 for the five months ended May 31, 1997 and the
   nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, and the partnership
   units issued as a result of the common stock offering on January 28, 1997
   of the Company, as if consummated on January 1, 1997.
(C)Reflects a reduction in outside management fees for the Operating
   Partnership received for management services of Silver Lake Mall prior to
   the acquisition.
(D)Reflects interest expense on borrowings outstanding under the revolving
   Credit Facilities, drawn for purposes of the acquisition of the properties,
   at a rate equal to the average interest rate incurred under the Credit
   Facilities, and interest on assumed debt at 8.5% fixed rate. A change in
   the interest rate of 1/8% on the Credit Facility used to finance the
   acquisition of the properties would result in $44 interest expense increase
   or decrease for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997.
   Interest expense is reduced for the period January 1, 1997 through February
   11, 1997 by $289, reflecting the $38,600 in net proceeds from the
   partnership units issued as a result of the January 28, 1997 common stock
   offering of the Company. The proceeds were used to retire borrowings
   outstanding on the Operating Partnership's $50,000 Credit Facility.
(E)Reflects depreciation on the purchase price allocated to buildings over a
   40-year useful life.

(A)Reflects the Operating Partnership's historical consolidated statement of
   operations for the period January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996.
(B)Reflects revenues and expenses of the properties acquired on April 4, 1996,
   June 1, 1997 and June 30, 1997, and the partnership units issued as a
   result of the common stock offering on January 28, 1997 of the Company, as
   if consummated on January 1, 1996.
(C)Adjustment reflects a reduction in outside management fees for the
   Operating Partnership received for management services of Silver Lake Mall
   prior to the acquisition.
(D)Reflects interest expense on borrowings outstanding under the revolving
   Credit Facilities, drawn for purposes of the acquisition of the properties,
   at a rate equal to the average interest rate incurred under the Credit
   Facilities, and interest on assumed debt at 8.5% fixed rate. A change in
   the interest rate of 1/8% on the Credit Facility used to finance the
   acquisition of the properties would result in $58 interest expense increase
   or decrease.
   Interest expense is reduced by using the $38,600 in net proceeds from
   issuing units from the January 28, 1997 common stock offering. The proceeds
   were used to retire borrowings outstanding on the Operating Partnership's
   $50,000 Credit Facility. Prior to April 4, 1996, only $10,000 was
   outstanding on this Credit Facility. As a result, the interest expense
   reduction is computed based on that amount during the period January 1,
   1996 to April 4, 1996.
(E)Reflects depreciation on the purchase price allocated to buildings, over a
   40-year useful life.
