                                Overview

The Company


Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG") (NYSE:SPG) is a self-administered and
self-managed  real  estate  investment trust ("REIT").   Simon  Property
Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") is a subsidiary partnership of
SPG.   Shares of SPG are paired with beneficial interests in  shares  of
stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc. ("SRC", and together with SPG, the
"Company").  The Company and the Operating Partnership (collectively the
"Simon  Group")  are  engaged  primarily in  the  ownership,  operation,
management,  leasing,  acquisition, expansion and  development  of  real
estate  properties,  primarily  regional malls  and  community  shopping
centers.

On  September 24, 1998, the merger between Simon DeBartolo  Group,  Inc.
("SDG") and Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI"), a privately held
real  estate  investment  trust  and its "paired  share"  affiliate  was
completed.   The  CPI merger added 22 high quality regional  malls  plus
three office buildings to the Simon Group portfolio.

At  September  30, 1998, the Company, directly or through the  Operating
Partnership, owned or had an interest in 241 properties which  consisted
of  regional malls, community shopping centers, and specialty and mixed-
use  properties  containing an aggregate of 165 million square  feet  of
gross leasable area (GLA) in 35 states.  The Company, together with  its
affiliated  management  companies, owned or  managed  approximately  180
million square feet of GLA in retail and mixed-use properties.

This  package  was  prepared to provide (1) ownership  information,  (2)
certain  operational  information,  and  (3)   debt  information  as  of
September 30, 1998, for the Company and the Operating Partnership.

Certain statements contained in this Supplemental Package may constitute
"forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of  the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors are
cautioned   that   forward-looking   statements   involve   risks    and
uncertainties which may affect the business and prospects of the Company
and  the  Operating  Partnership, including the risks and  uncertainties
discussed  in  other  periodic  filings made  by  the  Company  and  the
Operating Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We  hope  you find this Supplemental Package beneficial.  Any questions,
comments  or  suggestions  should be  directed  to:   Shelly  J.  Doran,

Forward Looking Statement  (Shelly Doran)

Good afternoon and welcome to the Simon Property Group third quarter
earnings teleconference call.

Before we begin, I'd like to let you know that statements in this
teleconference call which are not historical may be deemed forward-
looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-
looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that its expectations will be attained.  The listener is
directed to the Company's various filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, reports
on Form 8-K and annual reports on Form 10-K for a discussion of such
risks and uncertainties.


Opening Comments  (David Simon)

Good  afternoon.  We are pleased with our accomplishments for the  third
quarter, highlighted by the following:

*     On an "apples to apples" basis, not taking into account the recent
  change in the FASB pronouncement, we increased FFO per share in the 3rd
  quarter by 10.9% and 12.4% year-to-date.
*     We increased occupancy in the regional mall portfolio by 170 basis
  points.
*     SBV,  our strategic marketing division, continued its active pace,
  forming  alliances with Visa U.S.A. and the NFL, JCDecaux-the  world's
  largest streetscape advertiser, U.S. RealTel, and GoldCan Recycling.
*     And  finally,  we capped off the quarter with the closing  of  the
  Corporate Property Investors acquisition, adding 22 regional mall assets
  and increasing our market capitalization to approximately $17 billion.
*     We believe ultimately there are two elements critical to the long-
  term  success of a retail real estate company-scale of operations  and
  quality  of  assets.   On both, we believe we  are  unrivaled  in  our
  industry.

The CPI Merger (David Simon)

I'd like to give you a brief business update on the CPI acquisition:

*     The  merger was completed on September 24th.  This was 60-90  days
  later than our original plan, due primarily to the legal and regulatory
  complexities involved in preserving the CPI "paired share" structure.
*    Financing of the transaction has been completed.
       $2.4 billion of new common and preferred convertible equity  was
     issued to existing CPI shareholders; the common stock was issued at $33
     5/8 per share; the preferred stock has a coupon of 6.5% and converts
     into common at $38.669.
       Our $1.075 billion senior unsecured offering was completed at an
     average rate of 6.8%.
      A $1.4 billion acquisition facility was fully syndicated at LIBOR +
     65 basis points with an ultimate maturity date of September 2000.
      With respect to the financing of this transaction, I am pleased to
     report that we closed this $1.4 billion revolver, fully syndicated,
     despite the dislocation that has occurred in the capital markets.  We
     had no one drop out of our facility, and we closed that transaction as
     planned.  I don't think a company in our industry could have done that
     without the kind of integrity and reputation that our company has.
*    We sold the GM Building for net proceeds of $800 million.
*    The organizational integration will be complete by year-end.
      The back office will be fully integrated in Indianapolis.
      The revenue generating functions-leasing, development and property
     management-have been restructured and staff are transitioning to their
     new assignments.
*    Implementation of cost savings has begun.
*     We  also  assumed management of the Gwinnett and Cobb  centers  in
  Atlanta on November 1st.  These centers had not been managed by CPI.

Things  are  looking  good  in  this  transaction  and  we  remain  very
comfortable  that  this was the right thing for our company  to  proceed
upon.

Financial and Operational Results  (Steve Sterrett)

Our  financial and operational results for the quarter and  nine  months
ended September 30, 1998 are as follows:

For the quarter.

*     FFO on a per share basis increased 6.3% to $0.68 per share in 1998
  from  $0.64  per  share  in 1997, under both  the  basic  and  diluted
  computation method.
*    FFO of the Simon Portfolio was $123.6 million, an increase of 20.9%
  or $21.4 million over the same period in 1997.
*     Total  revenue  increased 24.1% to $322.3 million as  compared  to
  $259.8 million over the same period in 1997.

Results for the quarter do include the adoption of Emerging Issues  Task
Force Pronouncement 98-9, as of May 22, 1998, regarding the recording of
percentage rents.  The impact to our results for the third quarter is  a
negative  $0.03 per share.  If the pronouncement had not  been  adopted,
diluted FFO per share would have increased by 10.9% for the quarter.  We
currently  expect  $0.02  of  this to be  recovered  during  the  fourth
quarter,  resulting in a net negative impact of approximately $0.01  per
share for 1998.  The remaining $0.01 is expected to be recovered in  the
first  quarter of 1999.  Several of our tenant leases end on January  31
and  the  sales breakpoints for certain of these tenants are  not  fully
achieved until January.

For the nine months.

*     Diluted FFO per share increased 10.7% to $1.97 per share  in  1998
  from  $1.78 per share in 1997.  Without EITF 98-9, the FFO  per  share
  would have been $2.00 and our growth rate 12.4%.
*    FFO of the Simon portfolio was $348.4 million, an increase of 22.9%
  or $65 million over the same period in 1997.
*     Total  revenue for the nine months increased 24.8% to $933 million
  as compared to $747.3 million in 1997.

As is our customary practice after the completion of large transactions,
operating  statistics  will be separately disclosed  for  both  the  SPG
portfolio  and the CPI portfolio.  Details will be provided in  our  8-K
package.   Operating statistics for the "old" SPG portfolio  at  9/30/98
are as follows:

*     Occupancy  at  September 30, 1998, was 87.7%, an increase  of  170
  basis points over the same period in 1997.
*     Average  base rent in the regional mall portfolio was  $23.20  per
  square foot as compared to $21.82 one year ago, for an increase of 6.3%.
  This increase has slowed from recent quarters because Dadeland Mall was
  acquired and The Source and Forum Shops expansion opened in the  third
  quarter of last year.  All three of these high rent-producing projects
  appeared  in our operating statistics for the first time in the  third
  quarter of 1997.  In addition, several big box tenants opened  in  the
  portfolio  with lower than portfolio average rents, slowing  the  rent
  growth.
*     Total  sales volume in the portfolio for the first nine months  of
  the  year  was  $6.457 billion at September 30, up 42.2%  from  $4.541
  billion in 1997.
*     Total  sales  per square foot for the twelve months ended  9/30/98
  increased 6.3%, to $320 per square foot as compared to the prior year.
  The increase for "comparable properties", that is properties owned for
  at least one year, was 6.0%.
*    Comparable sales per square foot for tenants who have been in place
  for at least 24 months, increased 6.5%, to $327.
*     This  sales growth was achieved in spite of the adverse impact  of
  emergency September mall closings predicated by Hurricane George.  Our
  Florida region experienced a 2.5% decrease in sales in September due to
  the impact of the hurricane.
*     The  average initial base rent for new leases signed in  1998  was
  $24.59  per square foot, an increase of $3.16, or about 15%  over  the
  tenants who closed or whose leases expired.  This spread is below  our
  historical $5-$6 per square foot average due to the inclusion of Big Box
  tenants that averaged rent of $13.66 per square foot.  Excluding these
  big box users, the releasing spread at 9/30/98 would be $5.36.

Same  property NOI growth for the nine months as compared to  last  year
was  approximately 7%.  This growth rate is positively impacted  by  our
SBV  initiatives that we have implemented and by the positive impact  of
our redevelopment efforts.

The CPI portfolio's 9/30/98 operating statistics are as follows:

*    Occupancy at September 30, 1998, was 90.5%.
*     Average  base rent in the regional mall portfolio was  $35.92  per
  square foot.
*     Total  sales volume in the portfolio for the first nine months  of
  the year was $1.886 billion.
*     Total  sales  per square foot were $420 and comparable  sales  per
  square  foot were $428 for the period ended September 30.  As we  have
  previously communicated to you, CPI reported 1997 sales per square foot
  of $388.

The CPI portfolio remains on track to meet its original 1998 budget.


Financing Activities  (Steve Sterrett)

Despite  the  turmoil  in the capital markets,  we  have  been  able  to
continue to execute financing transactions on favorable terms:

In  August,  we closed on permanent financing for Grapevine Mills.   The
new $155 million, non-recourse loan bears interest at 6.47% and replaced
a construction loan at LIBOR plus 120 basis points.

In September, we closed on construction financing for Mission Viejo Mall
in  Mission Viejo, California.  This $162 million loan bears interest at
LIBOR + 105 basis points.

Last week, we closed on $145 million of permanent financing for Ontario
Mills.  The new non-recourse loan has a 10-year term with a fixed rate
of 6.75%.  The previous loan matured February 2002 and had an average
fixed rate of 7.38%.

Also last week, we closed on $124 million of permanent financing for The
Source.  This non-recourse loan has a 10 year maturity and bears
interest at 6.65% and replaced a construction loan at LIBOR + 120 basis
points.

In  August,  we  brought in an equity partner at The  Shops  at  Sunset.
Rosche,  a German based syndicator,  invested $42.8 million for half  of
our  75%  interest in The Shops and completely returned all  the  equity
that  SPG had invested in the project.  SPG's ownership interest is  now
37.5%.   This transaction is similar to the one completed in  the  first
quarter on The Source.

We  think  these  transactions are reflective of a  top  tier  company's
ability to access the capital markets on favorable terms.

The Company's balance sheet is in excellent shape:

*    We have minimal near term debt maturities.
*     Our  significant  construction projects already have  construction
  loans in place.
*     We have $900 million of available capacity on our current corporate
  credit facility.
*     We have strong fixed charge and interest coverage as evidenced  by
  the upgrade we received from S&P on our senior unsecured debt to BBB+.
<Page 39>
*     And  in  1999, we should generate over $200 million of  "retained"
  cash flow after payment of dividends.

All  of  these items are a testimony to the continued financial strength
of our company.


Disposition Activity (Steve Sterrett)

In a strategy that was articulated to you earlier this year, long before
the current credit crunch, we are continuing with our efforts to dispose
of  our  remaining  office  assets and a  selected  number  of  non-core
regional mall assets that do not fit our growth profile going forward.

Development Activities  (Rick Sokolov)

As  outlined in the press release, we have five new development projects
proceeding on plan for 1998 and 1999 openings.  We also have another new
development scheduled to start construction this year.

*     Waterford Lakes Town Center in Orlando, Florida, will be built  in
  two  phases  opening  in  November of 1999 and  November  2000.   When
  completed, this open-air center will be over 800,000 square feet,  and
  blend  the  best  retail,  recreation, entertainment,  restaurant  and
  specialty  users.   We  are very pleased to be  able  to  pursue  this
  development, since this part of Orlando is the fastest growing  market
  segment in the metropolitan area.  Population within a 10 mile radius is
  approximately 412,000 with average household income of nearly $56,000.

Our  redevelopment activity continues its active pace.  We completed two
projects during the third quarter-the redevelopment of Richardson Square
in  Dallas,  Texas, where we added Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Ross  Dress
for  Less, Stein Mart and renovated the property and added a food court.
At  Tyrone Square in St. Petersburg, Florida, we added a new food court,
renovated  the  property,  and have Borders under  construction  for  an
opening next year.

In  October,  we completed the major renovation and expansion  of  Prien
Lake  Mall  in  Lake  Charles, Louisiana.  The  expansion  included  the
addition  of  national  specialty stores, a food  court,  Dillard's  and
Sears.  This redevelopment solidifies Prien Lake Mall's position as  the
only regional mall in southwest Louisiana.
In  our  press release, we also detailed a number of projects  that  are
opening in the fourth quarter of 1998.
<Page 40>
At  Castleton Square in Indianapolis, Indiana, we just opened with a new
Galyan's,  food  court,  a renovated property, Von  Maur  in  Montgomery
Ward's previous location, and an expanded L.S. Ayres.

At Irving Mall in Irving, Texas, we added a Barnes & Noble and Old Navy,
and General Cinema is opening a brand new stadium seating complex in the
spring.

Independence  Center in Independence, Missouri, is a  totally  remodeled
center.   At  Richmond Towne Square in Cleveland, Ohio, this quarter  we
are opening Kauffmann's with a renovated mall; and in the spring of next
year,  we  are  opening a renovated Sears, JCPenney, a  brand  new  Sony
Theatre and a food court.

Walt   Whitman  Mall  in  Huntington,  New  York,  is  a  very  exciting
redevelopment  project  we took over from CPI.   We  have  a  brand  new
Bloomingdales that opened this quarter along with Lord & Taylor.  In the
spring Saks is opening in a completely renovated property.

The  Company's  commitment to reinvest in its  already  market  dominant
assets is evident in our aggressive redevelopment program and the number
of  projects  currently under construction.  We've  been  talking  about
these projects so I won't go into any detail, but I'd like to point  out
two  new  projects that are discussed in the press release.  At  LaPlaza
Mall,  in McAllen, Texas, we are adding a new Dillard's to supplement  a
brand  new  Foley's that opened last year.  The mall will be  completely
renovated  and  expanded.  And at Palm Beach Mall in  West  Palm  Beach,
Florida  we  are  adding a new Dillard's, Borders Books  and  completely
renovating this property in order for it to maintain its dominant market
position well into the next century.

Our  redevelopment program is producing NOI results.  We are  increasing
the  strength  of assets thereby making it difficult for competitors  in
the  markets  where  we  are already dominant.   We  are  also  able  to
incorporate  the  retailers  that are making  a  difference  in  today's
environment, tenants such as Barnes & Noble and Old Navy, so we can stay
current with our product offering.

International Expansion  (David Simon)

Our expansion into Europe has materialized with the Phase I opening of a
development in Krakow, Poland at the end of October.  Phase  I  is  100%
leased  and committed and features 390,000 square feet of selling  space
including a 120,000 square foot Carrefour Hypermarket.  Phase II of  the
project will feature a variety of entertainment venues contained  in  an
historical building with a Cineplex Theatre on the periphery.  Total net
costs  of  the  project  are estimated at $25 million  with  an  initial
unleveraged return of 15% on cost.

To  refresh  your  memories, SPG has completed the initial  $15  million
funding  related to a 22% interest in Groupe BEG.  Argo II (J.P. Morgan)
and  Harvard Private Capital have also closed on a 22% investment.   SPG
and  Argo/Harvard will gradually acquire a majority controlling interest
in  the  Groupe  pursuant to an earn out formula as  the  company  moves
forward.

We believe Groupe BEG is set to capitalize on its retail relationships
and development expertise to become a major Pan-European player.

In  addition, Groupe BEG has also negotiated a development protocol with
Carrefour  in  Poland, whereby they have the right of first  refusal  on
developments identified by Carrefour.

We  continue to feel that this is a good opportunity for us to  make  an
investment  with very creative returns in an area in need of new  retail
space.


Simon Brand Ventures (David Simon)

SBV  continues  the active implementation of initiatives,  and  we  have
recently  augmented the staff to enable our organizational structure  to
support the pace of this division.

Joining SBV are Drew Sheinman as senior vice president of marketing and
business development and Stephen G. Magrill as vice president of
affinity marketing.

Sheinman's key charge will be to effectively position the SPG portfolio
of 241 properties among brand marketers as a live interactive media
network that is a powerful marketing vehicle.  Drew comes to us with 18
years of experience in marketing development within the entertainment,
sports and lifestyle industries.  Most notably, he worked for The Coca-
<Page 42>
Cola Company where he was executive producer of Coca-Cola Olympic City,
an unprecedented $30 million, 12-acre theme park for the Centennial
Olympic celebration that occurred in Atlanta.

Stephen   Magrill   will  be  responsible  for  developing   value-added
programming  for  the key consumer segments within SPG's market-dominant
shopper  base.   He  will also work to integrate  brand  marketers  into
partner programs such as MALLPeRKS, the only national mall-based shopper
loyalty  program.   Prior to joining SBV, Stephen  was  vice  president,
marketing/strategic  planning of Interval  International  where  he  was
responsible  for the development and management of marketing  activities
for  Interval's base of over 1,600 resorts and 900,000 members worldwide
including Marriott, Disney, Hyatt and Four Seasons.

We're  excited about the addition of these two professionals to our  SBV
staff.

I'd like to briefly talk about our recent announcement regarding
JCDecaux, the world's largest streetscape advertising company.  JCDecaux
will spearhead Simon MallScape 2000, an indoor-based advertising medium
that will feature collections of attractive and discreet mall
advertising furniture in which brand marketers can target SPG shoppers.
For those of you who were at NAREIT's Institutional Investors Conference
in June of 1998, you were exposed to the best example of JCDecaux in the
furniture/advertising fixtures lining the streets of San Francisco.  We
are excited about the combination of Simon and JCDecaux and look forward
to bringing to our tenants and our shoppers this elegant platform for
advertising and communication.

Conclusion  (David Simon)
In  summary,  I would like to say we are very pleased with our  year-to-
date results.

*     The  Company's  existing  portfolio continues  to  exhibit  strong
  performance in terms of occupancy, sales and rental growth.
*     The  addition of the CPI portfolio solidifies Simon Property Group
  as  the  clear  cut industry leader, and we look forward  to  the  new
  opportunities presented with the CPI properties.
*      The  Company's  active  development  and  redevelopment  pipeline
  continues to fuel our growth.  We see many opportunities ahead in that
  area.
*     International  investment is expanding SPG's market opportunities,
  taking advantage of our brand name, recognition throughout the world and
  provides us with another vehicle in which to grow our business.
*    And SBV continues its active pace, announcing three new initiatives
  in October.
