                    PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The accompanying financial statements prepared by the management of Simon
Property Group, Inc. ("SPG") present the pro forma combined condensed Statements
of Operations of SPG and subsidiaries and its paired shared affiliate, SPG
Realty Consultants, Inc. ("SRC") and subsidiaries, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, and for the year ended December 31, 1997.   No pro forma
balance sheet is required because the merger and related transactions and the
Other Property Transactions described below were reflected, where appropriate,
in the companies' unaudited interim balance sheets included in the companies'
joint quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1998.

     The pro forma combined condensed Statements of Operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997, are
presented as if (i) the Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI") Merger and
related transactions, which were consummated for financial reporting purposes
as of the close of business on September 24, 1998, (ii) the September and
November 1997 transactions by SDG to acquire ten portfolio properties and a
50% ownership interest in an eleventh property of The Retail Property Trust,
("RPT"), (iii)the December 1997 acquisition by SDG of the Fashion Mall at
Keystone at the Crossing,  (iv) the January 1998 acquisition by CPI of Phipps
Plaza, (v) the January 1998 sale by CPI of Burnsville Mall, (vi) the January
1998 acquisition by SDG of Cordova Mall, (vii) the February 1998 acquisition by
SDG of a 50% interest in a portfolio of twelve regional malls and (viii) the
sale by CPI of the General Motors Building had occurred as of January 1, 1997,
(items (ii) through (vii) collectively, the "Other Property Transactions").

     Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on assumptions
deemed appropriate by management.  These assumptions give effect to the CPI
Merger being accounted for as a reverse purchase in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, resulting in the assets and liabilities
transferred to the Operating Partnership being reflected at fair value. The cash
contributed to Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc. ("CRC") and the newly formed
CRC operating partnership in exchange for ownership interests therein have been
accounted for as a capital infusion, or equity transaction. The pro forma
financial information has been updated to reflect revised assumptions based
upon the completion of the CPI Merger and related transactions in
September 1998. SPG and its paired share affiliate qualify as a paired
share REIT, distribute all taxable income and, therefore, incurred no
Federal income taxes during the periods presented. The pro forma
financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results which
actually would have occurred if the transactions had been consummated at the
beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the results
of operations for future periods. The pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of SDG, CPI and CRC.  For
financial reporting purposes, SDG is the predecessor of SPG and its paired share
affiliate.

Simon Property Group, Inc. and SPG Realty Consultants, Inc. - Notes and
Management's Assumptions to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Statements of Operations (dollars in thousands)

1. Basis of Presentation

     SDG is a self-administered and self-managed REIT which through its
subsidiaries is engaged primarily in the ownership, development,
management, leasing, acquisition and expansion of income-producing
properties, primarily regional malls and community shopping centers.

     In February 1998, SDG, CPI and CRC entered into the Merger
Agreement, which provided for the merger of a substantially wholly owned
subsidiary of CPI with and into SDG.  CPI is a self-administered and
self-managed privately held REIT which invests in income-producing
properties. As of the CPI Merger date, CPI owned or held interests in 26
properties, 23 shopping centers, one community center and two office
buildings. CRC was engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition and
development of income producing properties directly or through interests
in joint ventures and other non-REIT qualifying activities.

     Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 18,
1998, among Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG"), Corporate Property
Investors, Inc. ("CPI"), and Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc. ("CRC"),
the CPI Merger and related transactions  were consummated for financial
reporting purposes, as of the close of business on September 24, 1998.
SPG Merger Sub, Inc., a substantially wholly-owned subsidiary of CPI,
merged with and into SDG with SDG continuing as the surviving company.
Legally, SDG became a majority-owned subsidiary of CPI.  The outstanding
shares of common stock of SDG were exchanged for a like number of shares
of CPI. Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. ("SDG, LP" or the "Operating
Partnership") contributed $22 million in cash to CRC and the newly
formed SRC Operating Partnership on behalf of the SDG stockholders and
the limited partners of SDG, LP for beneficial interests in CRC in order
to pair the common stock of CPI with 1/100th of a share of common stock
of CRC  and to obtain units in the SRC Operating Partnership in order
that the limited partners of the Operating Partnership will hold the
same proportionate interest in the SRC Operating Partnership as they
hold in the Operating Partnership.

     Immediately prior to the consummation of the CPI Merger, the
holders of CPI common stock were paid a merger dividend consisting of
(i) $90 in cash, (ii) 1.0818 additional shares of CPI common stock and
(iii) 0.19 shares of 6.50% Series B convertible preferred stock of CPI.
Each share of the 6.5% $100 par value Series B convertible preferred
stock is convertible into 2.586 shares of SPG common stock. Immediately
prior to the CPI Merger, there were 25,496,476 shares of CPI common
stock outstanding.  The aggregate value associated with the completion
of the CPI Merger is approximately $5.9 billion including transaction
costs and liabilities assumed.  The purchase price includes 209,249
shares of 6.5% $1,000 par value of Series A convertible preferred stock
previously issued by CPI which remained outstanding following the CPI
Merger.  Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is
convertible into 37.995 shares of SPG common stock.

     To finance the cash portion of the CPI Merger consideration, $1.4
billion was borrowed under a new senior unsecured medium term bridge
loan (the "CPI Merger Facility"), which bears interest at a base rate of
LIBOR plus 65 basis points and matures in three mandatory amortization
payments (on June 22, 1999, March 24, 2000 and September 24, 2000).  An
additional $236,100 was also borrowed under the Operating Partnership's
existing $1.25 billion credit facility.  In connection with the CPI
Merger, CPI was renamed `Simon Property Group, Inc.'  CPI's paired share
affiliate, Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc., was renamed `SPG Realty
Consultants, Inc.' ("SRC").  In addition SDG and SDG, LP were renamed
`SPG Properties, Inc.', and `Simon Property Group, L.P.', respectively.

     Upon completion of the CPI Merger, SPG transferred substantially
all of the CPI assets acquired, which consisted primarily of 23 regional
malls, one community center, two office buildings and one regional mall
under construction (other than one regional mall, Ocean County Mall, and
certain net leased properties valued at approximately $153.1 million)
net of liabilities assumed (SPG remains a co-obligor with respect to the
CPI Merger Facility) of approximately $2.3 billion to the Operating
Partnership or one or more subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership in
exchange for 47,790,550 limited partnership interests and 5,053,580
preferred partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.  The
preferred partnership interests carry the same rights and equal the
number of preferred shares issued and outstanding as a direct result of
the CPI Merger.  Likewise, the assets of SRC were transferred to the SRC
Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership interests.

     As a result of the CPI Merger and related transactions, the common
stockholders of SPG own a share of common stock of SPG and a beneficial
interest in SRC.  The beneficial interest in SRC are stapled to a share
of SPG.  Accordingly, a share of SPG cannot be transferred without a
corresponding transfer of the beneficial interest in SRC. SPG and SRC
operate as a paired-share REIT structure for income tax purposes.
<Page F4>
     SPG and SRC (together, the "Company") own a 71.6% interest in the
operating partnerships as of September 30, 1998.  As of September 30,
1998, the Company owned or held a combined interest in 241 income-
producing properties, which consisted of 153 regional malls, 76
community shopping centers, three specialty retail centers, six office
and mixed-use properties and three value-oriented regional malls in 35
states.

     The Company accounted for the merger between SDG and the CPI merger
subsidiary as a reverse purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 16.  Although paired shares of the former CPI and CRC
were issued to SDG common stock holders and SDG became a substantially
wholly owned subsidiary of CPI following the CPI Merger, CPI is considered
the business acquired for accounting purposes.  SDG is the acquiring company
because the SDG common stockholders hold a majority of the common stock of
SPG, post-merger.  The value of the consideration paid by SDG has been
allocated on a preliminary basis to the estimated fair value of the CPI
assets acquired and liabilities assumed which resulted in goodwill of $62,227.
Goodwill will be amortized over the estimated life of the properties of 35
years.  The allocation of the purchase will be finalized when SPG completes
its evaluation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and finalizes
its combined operating plan for the Company.

        SDG, LP contributed cash to CRC and the SRC Operating Partnership
on behalf of the SDG common stockholders and the limited partners of SDG, LP
to obtain the beneficial interests in CRC, which were paired with the shares
of common stock issued by SPG, and to obtain Units in the SRC Operating
Partnership so that the limited partners of the SDG Operating Partnership
would hold the same proportionate interest in the SRC Operating Partnership
that they hold in the SDG Operating Partnership. The cash contributed to the
CRC Operating Partnership and the SRC Operating Partnership
in exchange for an ownership interest therein have been appropriately
accounted for as capital infusion or equity transactions.  The assets and
liabilities of CRC have been reflected at historical cost.  Adjusting
said assets and liabilities to fair value would only have been appropriate
if the SDG stockholders' beneficial interests in CRC exceeded 80%.


        In addition to the CPI Merger Dividends and the Merger, the
following transactions (the "Other Property Transactions") have been
reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined Statements of
Operations using the purchase method of accounting. Investments in
non-controlled joint ventures are reflected using the equity method.
Controlled properties have been consolidated.


       * On September 29, 1997, SDG completed its cash tender offer for all
         of the outstanding shares of beneficial interests of The Retail
         Property Trust ("RPT").  In connection therewith, RPT became a
         subsidiary of the Operating Partnership.  RPT owned 98.8% of
         Shopping Center Associates ("SCA"), which owned or had interests
         in twelve regional malls and one community shopping center.
         Following the completion of the tender offer, the SCA portfolio
         was restructured.  SDG exchanged its 50% interest in two SCA
         properties with a third party for similar interests in two other
         SCA properties, in which SDG had 50% interests, with the
         result that SCA now owns interest in a total of eleven properties.
         Effective November 30, 1997, SDG also acquired the remaining interest
         in another of the SCA properties.  In addition, SDG acquired the
         remaining 1.2% interest in SCA.  At the completion of these
         transactions, SDG held a 100% interest in ten of the eleven properties,
         and a noncontrolling 50% ownership interest in the remaining
         property.  The total cost for the acquisition of RPT and related
         transactions was approximately $1,300,000, which includes SDG common
         stock issued  valued  at approximately $50,000, units of the Operating
         Partnership valued at approximately $25,300, and the assumption of
         consolidated debt and SDG's pro rata share of joint venture
         indebtedness of approximately $475,300. The balance of the transaction
         costs was borrowed under the Operating Partnership's credit facility.
          
       * On  December 29, 1997, the Operating Partnership completed the
         acquisition of the Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing, a
         regional mall located in Indianapolis, Indiana, for $124,500.
         The purchase price was financed by additional borrowings under the
         Operating Partnership's credit facility of approximately $59,700 and
         the assumption of approximately $64,800 in mortgage debt.  The
         mortgage debt bears interest at 7.85%.

       * In January 1998, CPI acquired Phipps Plaza, a super
         regional mall located in Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately
         $198,800. The transaction was financed with cash of $158,800
         and debt of $40,000.

       * In January 1998, CPI sold one of its shopping centers
         (Burnsville Mall) for $80,672 cash. The selling price exceeded
          Burnsville Mall's historical net assets of $37,581 at
          December 31, 1997, by $43,091. A portion ($40,000) of the
          proceeds received in the Burnsville transaction was used to
          repay the amount borrowed in connection with the acquisition
          of Phipps Plaza.

        * In January 1998, SDG acquired Cordova Mall, a regional
          mall in Pensacola, Florida, for $94,000. This acquisition was
          financed by issuing units of the Operating Partnership valued
          at $55,523, the assumption of mortgage debt of $28,935 and
          other liabilities of $6,842 and cash of $2,700. The mortgage
          debt, which bore interest at 12.125%, has been refinanced
          through the Operating Partnership's credit facility.

        * In February 1998, SDG, through a joint venture with
          another REIT, acquired an interest in a portfolio of twelve
          regional malls comprising approximately 10.7 million square
          feet of GLA. SDG's non-controlling 50% share of the total
          purchase price of $487,250 was financed with a $242,000
          unsecured loan which bears interest at 6.4% per annum, accrued
          payables of $2,750 and the assumption of $242,500 of mortgage
          debt. The weighted average interest rate on the mortgage debt
          assumed was 6.94%.
<Page F5>
        * In July 1998, CPI sold the General Motors Building for $800,000.
          The net proceeds of $798,000 were used to pay off the building's
          mortgage balance ($10,706) with the remainder available to
          partially finance a portion of the CPI Merger Dividends.  CPI
          paid a commission to SDG totaling $2.5 million for services
          rendered by SDG in connection with the sale of the General Motors
          Building.  This commission has not been reflected in the
          accompanying pro forma financial information.

     The accompanying pro forma combined condensed Statements of
Operations are presented as if the CPI Merger Dividends, the CPI Merger
and related transactions and the Other Property Transactions previously
described had occurred on January 1, 1997, and the combined entity
qualified as a REIT, distributed all of its taxable income and,
therefore, incurred no federal income tax for the period presented.
Certain reclassifications have been made in each companies' historical
Statement of Operations to conform them to the condensed combined pro
forma presentation.

     These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of SDG, CPI
and CRC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of the CPI Merger and related transactions and the Other
Property Transactions previously described have been made. Certain
adjustments have been estimated based on information currently
available. Final adjustments are not expected to materially impact the
pro forma results reported.

     The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative
of the actual results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1998,
or December 31, 1997, or what the actual results of operations would have been
assuming the CPI Merger and the Other Property Transactions had been
completed as of January 1, 1997, nor are they indicative of the results
of operations for future periods.




2.   Pro  forma Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined  Condensed
Statements of Operations

       In connection with the CPI Merger, CPI incurred $83,019 of
merger-related expenses which have been excluded from the Pro Forma Combined
Condensed Statements of Operations. Further, the gain of $198,891 related to
the sale of the General Motors Building has been excluded from the unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations.

    forma  ownership interest in the Operating Partnerships  for  the  nine
    months ended September 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997, is
    28.6% and 29.9%, respectively

                                                      30, 1998      31, 1997
  (K)  The pro forma weighted average equivalent
     shares is computed as follows:

 Historical  Weighted  Average  shares  outstanding  112,956,863  99,920,280

     Pro forma adjustments:
        Shares  issued  related to  RPT  transaction          --   1,433,443
        Shares  issued  related  to the CPI  Merger   51,912,002  53,078,564

      Pro  forma  weighted  average equivalent
      shares                                         164,868,865 154,432,287
     
     The diluted pro forma weighted average
     equivalent shares for the nine month
     period ended September 30, 1998 and for
     the year ended December 31, 1997 were
     165,237,311 and 154,816,351, respectively.
     Each series of preferred stock issued and
     outstanding during the periods either were
     not convertible or their conversion would
     not have had a dilutive effect on earnings
     per share.  The increase in pro forma
     weighted average equivalent shares under
     the diluted method is due entirely to the
     effect of outstanding stock options.

       the period related to the CPI Merger  including
