Item 1.  Security and Issuer

          The class of equity security to which this statement on

Schedule 13D relates is the common stock (the "Securities") of

Catellus Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the

"Issuer").  The Issuer has its principal executive offices located

at 201 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.



Item 2.  Identity and Background

          Subparagraphs (a), (b), and (c).  This statement is being

filed by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. ("Southeastern"), an

investment advisor registered with the Securities & Exchange

Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

The address of its principal office is 6410 Poplar Avenue, Suite

900; Memphis, Tennessee 38119.  Southeastern serves as an

investment advisor to various individual clients, institutions

(including qualified retirement plans), endowment funds and to

Longleaf Partners Funds Trust ("Longleaf"), a registered investment

company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and having four

series or portfolios.  Two of those series, Longleaf Partners

Small-Cap Fund and Longleaf Partners Realty Fund, are owners of the

Securities.  Neither Fund nor any other managed account owns as

much as 5% of the Securities outstanding.



          The Securities of the Issuer reported in Item 5 herein

were acquired on behalf of and for the benefit of the various

client accounts, including the two series of Longleaf Partners

Funds Trust, under discretionary authority granted Southeastern or

in connection with accounts which have not granted discretionary

authority but which acquired the Securities on the basis of

Southeastern's recommendation.  None of the Securities are owned by

or on behalf of Southeastern or by any of its directors or

officers, or any Trustees or officers of Longleaf.  Each account

holds the Securities registered to it separately, and no account

has any ownership interests in the Securities held by any other

account.



          This statement is also being filed by Mr. O. Mason

Hawkins, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of

Southeastern, in the event he could be deemed to be an indirect

beneficial owner of the Securities reported by Southeastern through

the exercise of voting control and/or dispositive power over the

Securities as the result of his official positions or ownership of

voting securities of Southeastern.  Neither Southeastern nor Mr.

Hawkins owns any Securities for its or his own account and each

disclaims beneficial interest in any of the Securities reported

herein.

          (d) During the last five years, neither Southeastern,

Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, Longleaf Partners Realty Fund,

nor Mr.  Hawkins has been convicted in any criminal proceeding.



          (e) During the last five years, neither Southeastern,

Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, Longleaf Partners Realty Fund,

nor Mr. Hawkins has been a party to any civil or administrative

proceeding involving any alleged violations of any securities laws.



          (f) Southeastern is a corporation organized and existing

under the laws of the State of Tennessee; Longleaf Partners Funds

Trust is a Massachusetts business trust.  Mr.  Hawkins is a citizen

of the United States.  The names, business addresses, and principal

occupations of each director and executive officer of Southeastern

and Longleaf Partners Funds Trust are set forth in Schedule I.



Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Southeastern's clients used approximately $ 329,125,547

in the aggregate to purchase the Securities deemed to be

beneficially owned by Southeastern.  All assets used to purchase

Securities were assets of accounts of Southeastern's investment

advisory clients, including the Longleaf Partners Funds.  None of

the proceeds used to purchase the Securities were provided through

borrowings of any nature.



Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

          The Securities reported in this filing have been

purchased and held for investment purposes on behalf of client

accounts over which Southeastern has either sole or shared

discretionary investment and/or voting power or non-discretionary

investment and/or voting power.  The Securities are reported by

Southeastern and by Mr. O. Mason Hawkins, Chairman of the Board and

Chief Executive Officer in the event that either should be deemed

to be a member of a group under Section 13(d)(3) or the beneficial

owner of these Securities under the provisions of subparagraph (b)

of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Beneficial ownership on the part of Southeastern and Mr.  Hawkins

as members of a group or as beneficial owners is expressly

disclaimed, as permitted by Rule 13d-4.  All purchases of

Securities for both discretionary and non-discretionary accounts

were made for investment purposes only, in the ordinary course of

business of Southeastern as a registered investment advisor.

Southeastern may purchase additional Securities on behalf of

clients in the future, or may sell all or a part of the current

holdings of the Securities on behalf of certain investment advisory

clients.



          Southeastern is engaged in the business of investment

management of its clients' assets and pursues an investment

philosophy of identifying undervalued situations and acquiring

positions in undervalued companies on behalf of its clients.  In

pursuing this investment philosophy, Southeastern analyzes the

operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which its

clients invest and continuously monitors the business operations of

such companies through analysis of financial statements and other

public documents, through discussions with knowledgeable industry

observers, and with management of such companies, often at

management's invitation.



          Southeastern qualifies as an institution which may elect

to file securities ownership reports required by the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 on Schedule 13G and, as a routine matter,

Southeastern utilizes Schedule 13G for its reporting of the

ownership positions held by its investment advisory clients.  As

the result of investment analysis or the occurrence of events,

Southeastern may desire to participate in discussions with the

particular portfolio company's management or with third parties

about significant matters in which Southeastern may suggest

possible courses of action to assist in building corporate

intrinsic value per share or to cause the Company's true economic

value to be recognized.  In such situations, Southeastern may elect

to convert a filing on Schedule 13G to a filing on Schedule 13D in

order to be more active in corporate governance and management

matters, and to have the ability to enter into discussions with

third parties concerning proposed corporate transactions of a

significant nature.



          In this situation, Southeastern has been contacted by

several third parties interested in discussing the possibility of

an acquisition of the Securities of Southeastern's clients in a

transaction which could include an acquisition of all outstanding

Securities of the Issuer.  To obtain the flexibility to discuss

these possible transactions with the respective third parties and

with the Issuer's management, Southeastern is accordingly

converting its ownership filing on Schedule 13G to a filing on

Schedule 13D.  Such conversion should not be interpreted as an

indication that Southeastern has changed its position with respect

to being supportive of management of the Issuer or initiated these

contacts.  Instead, this conversion is intended to provide

Southeastern with the flexibility to listen to and discuss these

proposals with the respective third parties and with management of

the Issuer, as a means of fulfilling its fiduciary duties to its

clients.



          As the result of this filing on Schedule 13D, and

depending on the circumstances, Southeastern and its clients could

support one or more of the transactions described in clauses (a)

through (c) and clauses (e) through (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule

13D form, which are as follows:

          (a). The acquisition by any person of additional
          securities of the issuer, or the disposition of
          securities of the Issuer.

          (b). An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
          merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the
          issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

          (c). A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
          the issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

          (d). Not applicable. The filing parties have no present
          plans to propose any change in the present board of
          directors or management of the issuer, including any
          plans or proposals to change the number or term of
          directors or to fill any vacancies on the board.

          (e). Any material change in the present capitalization or
          dividend policy of the issuer.

          (f). Any other material change in the issuer's business
          or corporate structure.

          (g). Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or other
          instruments corresponding thereto.

          (h). Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be
          de-listed from a national securities exchange or to cease
          to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer
          quotation system of a registered national securities
          association.

          (i). A  class of equity securities of the issuer becoming
          eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
          Section 12(g) of the Act.

          (j). Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

securities purchased for the benefit of each such discretionary

private account.  There are no special or different agreements

relating to the Securities of the Issuer.



          The written investment advisory agreements with clients

do not contain provisions relating to borrowing of funds to finance

the acquisition of the Securities, acquisition of control, transfer

of securities, joint ventures, or any of the other transactions

listed in Item 7 of Schedule 13D other than voting of proxies.  In

connection with voting, Southeastern may be allowed or directed to

vote the proxies received by accounts classified as "discretionary"

or "shared" accounts; such authority is generally retained by the

clients for accounts classified as "non-discretionary".
