                                    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 December 31, 1998, the Company, directly or through the Operating
Partnership, owned or had an interest in 242 properties which consisted of
regional malls, community shopping centers, and specialty and mixed-use
properties containing an aggregate of 166 million square feet of gross leasable
area (GLA) in 35 states and one asset in Europe. The Company, together with its
affiliated management companies, owned or managed approximately 180 million
square feet of GLA in retail and mixed-use properties.

On February 24, 1999, SPG announced that it has entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire a portfolio of up to 14 regional malls from New England
Development Company (NED) and assume management responsibilities from NED's
affiliated management company, WellsPark Management LLC. The purchase price for
this 10.6 million square foot portfolio is $1.725 billion, which includes ten
properties in Massachusetts, two in New Hampshire and one each in Connecticut
and Virginia.

This package was prepared to provide (1) ownership information, (2) certain
operational information, and (3) debt information as of December 31, 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.

Forward Looking Statement  (Steve Sterrett)
- -------------------------------------------

Good afternoon and welcome to the Simon Property Group fourth quarter and year
end 1998 earnings teleconference call.

Please be aware that statements in this teleconference call that are not
historical may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
federal securities laws. Although the Company believes that 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 everyone. We are very pleased with our accomplishments for the
quarter and for the year, highlighted by the following activities:

- -    We exceeded consensus expectations for both the quarter and the year,
     growing FFO per share to $2.85, an annual growth rate of 10.5%.
- -    We increased occupancy in the regional mall portfolio by 270 basis points
     to 90%, including a 220 basis point increase for the existing SPG portfolio
     prior to CPI.
- -    We completed $5.7 billion in acquisitions, including the CPI and IBM
     portfolios.
- -    We completed our most active year of capital markets activity ever, raising
     and arranging $7 billion in well-timed capital market transactions.
- -    We invested $300 million in our ongoing redevelopment program, which will
     generate double-digit returns as well as enhance the market position of
     those assets.
- -    SBV, in its first full calendar year of operation, exceeded our initial
     expectations through the execution of strategic partnerships and alliances
     with strong corporate partners such as Pepsi, VISA and the NFL,
     Browning-Ferris Industries, DMX MallNet, JCDecaux, U.S. RealTel, and
     GoldCan Recycling.
- -    We have 5 million square feet of exciting new development projects under
     construction, including new projects in growing markets such as Charlotte,
     Orlando and Atlanta.

- -    FFO of the Simon portfolio was $544.5 million, an increase of 31.2% or
     $129.4 million over the same period in 1997.
- -    Total revenue for the year increased 33.4% to $1.406 billion as compared to
     $1.054 billion in 1997.

For the quarter...

- -    FFO on a per share basis increased 7.6% to $0.85 per share in 1998 from
     $0.79 per share in 1997.
- -    FFO of the Simon Portfolio was $196.0 million, an increase of 48.8% or
     $64.3 million over the same period in 1997.
- -    Total revenue increased 54.0% to $472.6 million as compared to $306.9
     million over the same period in 1997.

In keeping with our customary levels of disclosure after the completion of large
transactions, operating statistics will be fully disclosed for both the "old"
SPG portfolio and the CPI portfolio, separately, in our 8-K package. Operating
statistics for the combined SPG portfolio--including the CPI assets--at 12/31/98
are as follows:

- -    Occupancy at December 31, 1998, was 90.0%, an increase of 270 basis points
     over the same period in 1997. Occupancy within the former SPG portfolio was
     89.5% while the CPI portfolio occupancy was 92.0%.
- -    Average base rent in the regional mall portfolio was $25.70 per square
     foot, an increase of 8.7%.
- -    Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales as of December 31, 1998 was 12.3%.
     Included in this is a minimum rent to sales ratio of only 7.5%. As you
     know, this is significantly below that of comparable quality portfolios,
     and increasing this percentage is a major business focus for our company in
     1999 and beyond, as we look to grow the profitability of SPG by delivering
     a higher percentage of our tenants' sales to our bottom line.
- -    Total sales per square foot for the twelve months ended 12/31/98 increased
     8.9%, to $343 per square foot as compared to the prior year. The increase
     for "comparable properties," that is properties owned

     for at least one year, was 4.7%. Total sales per square foot in the CPI
     portfolio were $418 per square foot which is up 7.8% from a year ago.
- -    Comparable sales per square foot for tenants who have been in place for at
     least 24 months, increased 8.8%, to $346. Comparable sales per square foot
     in the CPI portfolio were $422.
- -    The average initial base rent for new mall store leases signed in 1998 was
     $27.33 per square foot, an increase of $3.70, or 15.7% over the tenants who
     closed or whose leases expired.

Same property NOI growth for 1998 in the "old" SPG portfolio was approximately
6%. This growth rate was positively impacted by growth in rents, occupancy, and
tenant sales as well as by our SBV initiatives and the positive effect of our
redevelopment efforts. Same property NOI growth for the CPI portfolio was 11.1%.

Acquisition Activities  (David Simon)
- -------------------------------------

In addition to CPI, we acquired an additional $650 million of real estate in
1998:

- -    Cordova Mall was acquired at a cost of $87 million and added to our
     presence in Pensacola, Florida, where we now own both regional malls.
- -    The IBM portfolio, encompassing 12 regional malls, added 10.7 million
     square feet of GLA to the Company's portfolio in a 50/50 joint venture with
     Macerich. Simon's share of the cost was $487.5 million.
- -    During 1998 we acquired the remaining 50% of Rolling Oaks Mall in San
     Antonio and an additional 35% interest in Lakeline Mall and Lakeline Plaza
     in Austin, Texas.
- -    And in December, we acquired The Arboretum in Austin, Texas. This 209,000
     square foot open-air specialty center is anchored by Barnes & Noble, The
     Pottery Barn, Structure, Bath & Body and The Arbor Theater with specialty
     tenants such as The Sharper Image, Gap, Gap Kids, Banana Republic and
     Victoria's Secret. This lifestyle center complements our existing Austin
     assets, which include ownership of all three malls in the rapidly growing
     Austin market.

The average initial unlevered yield on these acquisitions was 9%.

Financing Activities  (Steve Sterrett)
- --------------------------------------

Despite the conditions prevalent in the capital markets, we completed $7 billion
worth of transactions in 1998. These transactions can be summarized as follows:

 -    New mortgage financings and refinancings             $2.0 billion

 -    Corporate credit facilities (primarily
      the CPI acquisition facility)                        $1.7 billion

 -    Issuance of senior unsecured notes                   $1.075 billion

 -    Equity issued in connection with the
      CPI acquisition comprised of common
      stock issued at $33 5/8 and preferred
      stock which converts up 15% at $38.669               $2.3 billion

We also just completed a $600 million fixed rate senior unsecured note offering.
The two tranches--at $300 million each--mature in 2004 and 2009 and bear
interest at 6 3/4% and 7 1/8%, respectively. Proceeds were used primarily to pay
down the first tranche of our acquisition facility.

A few days ago, PGGM, the Dutch pension fund, notified us of their election to
convert their 6.5% Series A convertible preferred stock into SPG common stock.
This convert was assumed by SPG as part of the CPI acquisition. PGGM owns $150
million of the Series A stock, which will result in the issuance of 5.7 million
shares of common. This conversion will be completed at the end of February.

We believe this conversion demonstrates PGGM's confidence in the Company. We
welcome them as one of our largest common shareholders and look forward to a
long and mutually beneficial relationship.

Our capital markets activity is indicative of the financial strength of Simon
and the Company's ability to effectively access the capital markets. In
addition, our balance sheet is in excellent shape:

- -    We have minimal near term debt maturities.
- -    Our significant construction projects all have financing in place.
- -    We have $900 million of available capacity on our current corporate credit
     facility.
- -    We have strong fixed charge and interest coverage, have maintained our
     coverage ratios consistent with 1997 levels, and our senior unsecured debt
     ratings were reaffirmed by S&P and Moody's at BBB+ and Baa1, respectively,
     despite acquiring over $7 billion of property in the last two years.
- -    And in 1999, we should generate over $200 million of "retained" cash flow
     after payment of dividends.

Most importantly, we grew the company and its earnings stream and improved the
overall quality of our portfolio while maintaining the integrity of the balance
sheet and our strong capital base; resisting the temptation to "lever up" in
light of the capital markets situation during the latter half of 1998. We
continue to maintain significant financial liquidity, capacity and flexibility,
and are not bumping up against any of our debt covenants.

Development Activities  (Rick Sokolov)
- --------------------------------------

Malls & Community Centers:

We opened two new community centers in 1998--Muncie Plaza and Lakeline Plaza.
Both of these centers complement their regional mall counterparts--Muncie Mall
in Muncie, Indiana, and Lakeline Mall in Austin, Texas.

Two of the three new community centers we currently have under construction are
also located adjacent to a Simon regional mall. This is a "win-win" situation--a
market dominant location combined with an extensive array of retail choices for
the consumer.
- -    The Mall of Georgia Crossing will open in October, a couple of months after
     the mall opening. This 442,000 square foot power center will be anchored by
     Target, Uptons, TJMaxx & More, Best Buy, Nordstrom Rack and Staples. The
     1.5 million square foot super-regional mall will be anchored by Nordstrom,
     Dillard's, Lord & Taylor, JCPenney, Galyan's, Bed Bath & Beyond, Haverty's
     and Barnes & Noble.
- -    The Shops at Northeast Plaza is scheduled to open in November and will be
     anchored by Michael's, OfficeMax, PetsMart, Cost Plus, TJMaxx, Bed Bath &
     Beyond and Party City. This 323,000 square foot power center will be
     located adjacent to North East Mall in Hurst, Texas, which is undergoing a
     $100 million dollar renovation and expansion including the addition of a
     new Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and a new relocated 300,000 square foot
     Dillards.

The third power center under construction is Waterford Lakes Town Center in
Orlando, Florida. This 920,000 square foot center is scheduled to open in two
phases: November 1999 and November 2000. Waterford Lakes is located in the
fastest growing area in metro Orlando. The center will be anchored by Regal
20-Plex, Super Target, TJMaxx, Ross Dress for Less, Barnes & Noble, Waves Music,
Party City, Dress Barn and OfficeMax.

Specialty Centers and Other:
We have always prided ourselves on being a retail developer not just a mall or
strip center developer. An example of this is our recent effort in the specialty
centers category. We opened The Shops at Sunset Place in South Miami, Florida in
January. The center opened 95% leased and features an appealing open-air
configuration and a unique blend of retail and entertainment with a tenant
line-up unparalleled in South Florida. The Shops at Sunset is a one-of-a-kind
specialty center, reflective of the innovativeness of the SPG organization, and
is anchored by AMC Theatres, FAO Schwarz, IMAX, GameWorks, NIKETOWN, Virgin
Megastore and Z Gallerie.

Early results from the Shops at Sunset have been extremely encouraging. AMC has
informed us that this complex was 29th in the nation for the last week reported.
This is not 29th in the AMC chain, but 29th of all theater complexes in the
United States. FAO Schwarz sales are 40% above plan; NIKETOWN sales are 30%
above plan; GAMEWORKS is #1 in their chain of 8 locations; and Virgin Megastore
is also reporting very strong sales.

Concord Mills is our fourth joint venture with The Mills Corporation. This 1.4
million square foot value-oriented super regional mall will be anchored by
Books-A-Million, Bed Bath & Beyond, TJMaxx, Bass Pro Outdoor World, AMC
Theatres, Burlington Coat Factory, Jillian's, Group USA, Alabama Grill, Embassy
Suites Hotel and Host Marriott Services. This center is projected to open in
September.

We are also nearing commencement of construction for our first joint venture
project with Chelsea, GCA Realty - the Orlando Premium Outlet Center in Orlando,
Florida. This project is exceptionally located, directly on I-4 less than 2
miles from the main entrance to Disney World. This 433,000 square foot center
will feature the traditional array of premium fashion tenants found in a Chelsea
center and is scheduled to open in the summer of 2000.

Redevelopment:
We are firmly committed to enhancing the performance of our existing assets as
evidenced by the $300 million invested in 1998. The measurable results of these
invested dollars comes in the form of increased sales and increased rental
income, thereby enhancing NOI growth.

In 1998 we completed major redevelopments at centers such as: Aventura Mall in
Miami; Barton Creek Square in Austin; Columbia Center in Columbia, Washington;
Crystal River Mall in Crystal River, Florida; Independence Center in
Independence, Missouri; Orange Park Mall in Jacksonville, Florida; and
Richardson Square in Dallas. In these centers, total sales volumes have
increased from 15 to 40%.

In the press release, we detailed some of the more significant redevelopment
projects currently under construction for completion in 1999 and beyond
including:

- -    Florida Mall in Orlando, Florida
- -    LaPlaza Mall in McAllen, Texas
- -    Mission Viejo in Mission Viejo, California
- -    North East Mall in Hurst, Texas
- -    Palm Beach Mall in West Palm Beach, Florida
- -    Richmond Town Square in Cleveland, Ohio and
- -    Town Center at Boca Raton in Boca Raton, Florida.

Simon's share of the cost of these major redevelopment projects is approximately
$500 million. We anticipate that this capital spending should generate
stabilized returns of approximately 11%.

International Expansion  (David Simon)
- --------------------------------------

Our expansion into Europe materialized with the Phase I opening of a development
in Krakow, Poland at the end of October. Total net costs of the project are
estimated at $25 million with an initial unleveraged return of 15% on cost.

We have invested an initial $15 million for a 22% interest in Groupe BEG and
will gradually, with Argo II (J.P. Morgan) and Charlesbank Capital Partners
(formerly Harvard Capital Group), acquire a majority controlling interest in the
Groupe pursuant to an earn out formula as the company moves forward.

There are currently two additional projects under construction and several in
pre-construction development phase, and we look forward to the opportunities
available through this joint venture to capitalize on under served and under
retailed Central Europe with the initial primary focus being in Poland.

Simon Brand Ventures (David Simon)
- ----------------------------------

It's now been 18 months since we announced the formation of Simon Brand
Ventures, our strategic marketing division. In assessing SBV, I think its fair
to say that the results to date have met or exceeded our original expectations.
We've developed a profitable business model that:

- -    has enrolled over 2 million members in our frequent shopper loyalty
     program, MALLPeRKS,
- -    introduced major consumer brands like Pepsi and Visa to the mall
     environment,
- -    developed strategic relationships with companies like Browning Ferris
     Industries to lower our tenants' operating costs, and most recently,

- -    entered into a strategic relationship with Time, Inc. to produce "S", the
     first national lifestyle magazine targeted to mall shoppers.

"S" will be distributed at over 140 SPG properties monthly beginning on March
1st, with an estimated circulation of 2.2 million copies per month. "S" will
balance national and local lifestyle features, promotions and other news useful
to Simon shoppers.

As part of the alliance, Simon and Time will partner to develop multimedia
programs for brand marketers who seek both an in-mall platform, including
event-marketing extensions, as well as a print medium to reach their targeted
audience.

Expect to hear more from us in 1999 regarding SBV. Significant discussions are
ongoing with potential strategic partners in several areas, and we are working
diligently to make the MALLPeRKS program even more successful.

And expect a major announcement from us next week regarding a topic we have
discussed with you for the last year, the branding of our Company.

Internet Shopping (Rick Sokolov)
- --------------------------------

About a week ago, the ICSC Research Quarterly published a compendium of all the
estimates from forecasters for E-commerce. The 1998 forecasts run anywhere from
$4 billion to $14.5 billion of sales of goods over the Internet to consumers.
The most likely number seems to be in the $6-$8 billion range. These same
forecasters indicate that in the year 2003 the estimates range from a low of
$20.5 billion to a high of $103 billion for the sale of consumer goods over the
Internet.
Now let us try and provide a frame of reference for these numbers.

- -    In 1998, total non-auto retail sales in the United States were $1.9
     trillion. More importantly, total catalog sales in 1998 were $75 billion.
     Taken at its most optimistic, the Internet will probably approximate
     catalogs as a channel of retail distribution in 2003. Women's Wear Daily
     has written extensively on this topic, and it is their expectation that a
     substantial portion of the sales over the internet will come out of the
     catalog sector. In fact, the catalog merchandisers are shifting more and
     more of their sales efforts to the Internet.
- -    One last frame of reference - Wal-Mart did $115 billion of sales in 1998.

The other thing to focus on is what is being bought on the Internet. Sixty
percent of the goods that are being bought over the Internet are goods that are
not customarily found in the regional mall setting. Consumer products, consumer
accessories, entertainment and airline tickets all make up a substantial portion
of the Internet sales in 1998. In the year 2002, it is estimated that
approximately 20% of the on-line sales will be consumer products; 15% will be
entertainment tickets; and the projections for apparel sales are approximately
$1.9 billion or less than 1% consummated over the Internet. Books and records
will also have a considerable portion of their sales generated over the
Internet. The expectation in 2002 is that 10% of book sales in the United States
will be consummated over the Internet or approximately $1.8 billion; and 17.9 %
of music sales will be consummated over the Internet or approximately 4% of
total sales in this category.

Regarding our perspective on books and music, Barnes & Noble, which is a
considerable on-line player itself in the book category, is still aggressively
expanding its large format bookstores throughout our portfolio, as is Borders.

On the music front, the Internet sector has already taken considerable
competitive pressures from both Circuit City and Best Buy, who are devoting
substantial portions of their floor space to selling music, at substantially
aggressive pricing, to drive traffic in their stores.

One last factual thing to bear in mind regarding the Internet is that there is
currently a 5% to 7% cost advantage for buying on the Internet, as mandated by
the federal government, because sales consummated over the Internet are not
subject to sales tax by state and local jurisdictions.

In January, the Wall Street Journal ran an article which indicated that the
state and local governments, which derive a substantial portion of their
operating revenues from sales taxes, are preparing to lobby very aggressively to
have the right to tax sales over the Internet on the same basis as sales that
are consummated in our properties. We anticipate that this will be a subject of
hot debate over the next year, but ultimately that this cost advantage will
dissipate.

As evidenced by our results and the results of our peer companies, retailer
demand for new additional space in the malls has never been greater. Whether
it's Gap planning to open 400 new stores this year or Limited rolling out a new
name plate, White Barn Candle; retailers continue to show significant commitment
to the mall. Major department store companies have all announced retailer
on-line initiatives--Federated buying Finger Hut; and Saks announcing their new
initiatives. At the same time, however, their capital commitment to our
properties has never been greater, and we still have a very extensive
development program featuring department stores of these companies at the same
time that they are making a commitment to on-line retailing.

Let me walk you through a couple of initiatives that we currently have underway
to make our company and portfolio more Internet friendly. First, we are
undertaking steps to take our MALLPeRKS program and its 2 million members
on-line. In 1999, look for a MALLPeRKS Web page where members can view their
account status on-line and see promotional offerings of mall events.

Walk up terminals are also being installed in our new MALLPeRKS marketplaces,
which are replacing traditional customer service booths in SPG malls, bringing
technology into the mall itself. These vehicles will also serve as a marketing
medium for our retailers and strategic partner.

We are also embarking on a major development project, in conjunction with
technology and portal partners, to marry the concepts of multiple retailer
offerings, data capture, and efficient payment settlement in an on-line and
physical environment. Look for more from us on this project later in 1999.

Conclusion  (David Simon)
- -------------------------

- -    If there is any company out there that can effectively compete with
     e-commerce, it is Simon Property Group. The Company's advantage is a
     function of our branding efforts, our SBV initiatives focused on driving
     and increasing customer loyalty, and all of the re-merchandising efforts
     that our company is undertaking, including bringing lifestyle and
     entertainment tenants to our properties. We've been at the forefront of
     this movement in our industry.
- -    We're obviously very disappointed in the current price level of our common
     stock. SPG has undergone a significant transformation since we have gone
     public. Not only have we grown 5-fold since our IPO five years ago, but our
     portfolio now encompasses 50 million square feet of mall store space,
     averaging almost $350 a foot in sales. And when you add in our hallmark
     innovation, including cutting edge developments and our SBV initiatives, we
     think we're doing a lot of the right things.
- -    Nevertheless, the status of the capital markets will not detract from our
     ability to grow the profitability of this company. We have strong embedded
     growth opportunities in our new development and redevelopment pipeline, our
     below market rents and our SBV initiatives. And we have always managed the
     balance sheet with a long-term view, prudently financing our growth and
     always keeping some powder dry. That philosophy continues.
- -    When we came public in 1993, we promised you an industry-leading company
     that would grow its FFO per share 8-12% per year and, coupled with a
     dividend, would provide an attractive total return to investors. We have
     delivered on that promise each year, including 1998, and we are poised to
     deliver on that promise in 1999 and beyond.
