ITEM 2. ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS

   
On October 30, 1997, Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (the "Company") through
Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") completed the
acquisition of 15 shopping center properties (the "Southeast Portfolio").
The properties were acquired for approximately $124.5 million from various
pension funds (the "Sellers") that are advised by DRA Advisors, Inc., a New
York based pension fund advisor.  In negotiating the purchase price, the
Operating Partnership considered, among other factors, the properties'
historical and anticipated cash flows, the nature and terms of the leases, the
physical condition of the properties, repositioning and expansion
possibilities, and market conditions.  The acquisition was financed by
increasing the Operating Partnership's existing revolving credit facility to
$160 million from $75 million, the assumption of an existing $5.9 million
mortgage on one of the acquired properties, and obtaining a new $45 million
term loan.  The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates between 137.5
and 162.5 basis points over LIBOR depending on certain debt ratios set forth in
the loan agreement.  The interest rate on the term loan is between 250 and 275
basis points over LIBOR,  which rate is also dependent on certain debt ratios.
Both the revolving credit facility and the term loan mature May 1, 1999, and,
under certain circumstances, may be extended to October 2000 at the election of
the Operating Partnership.  The mortgage assumed bears interest at the rate of
8.5 % per annum, requires monthly principal and interest payments, and matures
in November 2000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust
Southfield, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying Combined Historical Summary of Revenues and
Direct Operating Expenses of the Ramco-Gershenson Southeast Portfolio (the
"Historical Summary"), for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The Historical
Summary is the responsibility of the Properties' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Summary.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for
inclusion in the Registration Statement on Form 8-K/A of Ramco-Gershenson
Properties Trust) as described in Note 1 to the Historical Summary and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of Ramco-Gershenson Southeast
Portfolio's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the accompanying Historical Summary presents fairly, in all
material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses described in Note
1 to the Historical Summary of the Ramco-Gershenson Southeast Portfolio for the
year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

RAMCO-GERSHENSON SOUTHEAST PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   GENERAL  - Ramco-Gershenson Southeast Portfolio ("The Southeast Portfolio")
   is a group of fifteen shopping centers located in North Carolina, Tennessee,
   South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.  The combined properties
   contain approximately 2.5 million square feet of gross leasable area. 
   Shopping center space is generally leased to specialty retail tenants under
   leases which are accounted for as operating leases. Leases typically provide
   for guaranteed minimum rent, percentage rent, and other charges to cover
   certain operating costs.
        
   BASIS OF PRESENTATION  - The accompanying historical summary of revenues and
   direct operating expenses has been prepared for the purpose of complying
   with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
   inclusion in a current report on Form 8-K/A of Ramco-Gershenson Properties
   Trust.  The accompanying historical summary is not representative of the
   actual operations of the shopping centers for the period presented since
   material expenses which may not be comparable to the proposed future
   operations of the Southeast Portfolio by the Company have been excluded. 
   Expenses excluded consist of management fees, interest, depreciation and
   amortization.
        
   REVENUE RECOGNITION  - Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis as
   earned, which does not materially differ from the straight-line method.
   Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual basis as earned.  Recoveries
   from tenants, which include an administrative fee, are recognized as revenue
   in the period applicable costs are chargeable to tenants.
        
   USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
   with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and
   expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
   those estimates.
        

2. LEASES

   Approximate future minimum rentals under noncancelable operating leases in
   effect at September 30, 1997, assuming no new or renegotiated leases nor
   option extensions on lease agreements are as follows:


               October 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997  $ 3,282,342
                                               1998   12,170,225
                                               1999   10,072,186
                                               2000    8,984,737
                                               2001    8,388,147
                                         Thereafter   48,059,635
                                                     -----------
                                            Total    $90,957,272

                       RAMCO-GERSHENSON PROPERTIES TRUST
                       NOTES AND SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
                  TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
   Year Ended December 31, 1996 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997

NOTE (A)
SOUTHEAST PORTFOLIO ADJUSTMENTS
On October 30, 1997, Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (the "Company") through
Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") completed the
acquisition of 15 shopping center properties (the "Southeast Portfolio").
The properties were acquired for approximately $124.5 million from various
pension funds (the "Sellers") that are advised by DRA Advisors, Inc., a New
York based pension fund advisor.  In negotiating the purchase price, the
Operating Partnership considered, among other factors, the properties
historical and anticipated cash flows, the nature and terms of the leases, the
physical condition of the properties, repositioning and expansion
possibilities, and market conditions.  The acquisition was financed by
increasing the Operating Partnership's existing revolving credit facility to
$160 million from $75 million, the assumption of an existing $5.9 million
mortgage on one of the acquired properties, and obtaining a new $45 million
term loan.  The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates between 137.5
and 162.5 basis points over LIBOR (effective rate of 7.356% as of September 30,
1997) depending on certain debt ratios set forth in the loan agreement.  The
interest rate on the term loan is between 250 and 275 basis points over LIBOR
(effective rate of 8.356% as of September 30, 1997), which rate is also
dependent on certain debt ratios.  Both the revolving credit facility and the
term loan mature May 1, 1999, and, under certain circumstances, may be extended
to October 2000 at the election of the Operating Partnership.  The mortgage
assumed bears interest at the rate of 8.5 % per annum, requires monthly
principal and interest payments, and matures in November 2000.

The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated 10% to land and 90% to
buildings, which will be depreciated over 40 years.  The purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
estimated fair market value.

The adjustment to net real estate assets consists of the purchase price paid to
the Sellers, capitalized due diligence costs, title premiums, mortgage
prepayment fees, and other direct costs of the transaction.

The adjustment to other assets is the reclassification of the purchase deposit
on the Southeast Portfolio to net real estate assets offset by the capitalized
financing costs of the transaction.

General and administrative expenses were increased $300,000 to reflect the
additional costs expected to be incurred for personnel and other costs relating
to the management of the Southeast Portfolio.

Minority interest represents the Ramco Group's limited partnership interest in
the Operating Partnership.  The minority interest percentage ranged between 27%
and 26% during the periods presented.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER ACQUISITIONS

On May 28, 1997, the Company acquired the Madison Center, a 186,094 square foot
shopping center in Madison Heights, Michigan.  The center was acquired for
approximately $7.4 million.  On July 30, 1997, the Company acquired Pelican
Plaza, a 106,141 square foot community shopping center/office development in
Sarasota, Florida.  The development was acquired for approximately $7.2
million.  Both acquisitions were financed using the Company's credit facility.
The purchase price for both acquisitions were allocated 10% to land and 90% to
buildings, which will be depreciated over 40 years. The purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
estimated fair market value. Pro forma revenues and expenses, other than
interest and depreciation are based on information provided by the sellers of
the properties.
