Item 5.  Other Events
- ---------------------

During the period January 1, 1997 to June 16, 1997, through individual
transactions, the Company completed the acquisition of, or investment in, four
shopping centers, none of which individually constitutes a "significant
subsidiary". The shopping centers total 1,390,837 square feet of retail space, 
all of which is Company-owned gross leasable area. The Company's net investment
in the four shopping centers aggregated $106.6 million. The Company's net
investment was funded through proceeds made   available through revolving
credit facilities and cash. Information regarding the four acquired shopping
centers is attached as SCHEDULE A. This Form 8-K is being filed to update the
pro forma financial information reported in the May 31, 1996 Form 8-K, through
the year ended December 31, 1996. In addition, the pro forma financial
information reflects the Company's financing and acquisition activities during
the period January 1, 1997 to June 16, 1997. Such financing transactions
include the issuance of 3,350,000 Common Shares and $75 million of 7.125%
Pass-through Asset Trust Securities. The proceeds from these offerings were
primarily used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving
credit facilities.

The acquisition of, or investment in, each shopping center was pursuant to
individual agreements for the sale and purchase of each property between each
selling entity and the Company. The factors considered by the Company in
determining the price to be paid for the properties included their historical
and/or expected cash flow, nature of the tenants and terms of leases in place,
occupancy rates, opportunities for alternative and/or new tenancies, current
operating costs and taxes on the properties and anticipated changes therein
under Company ownership, the outlots and expansion areas available, the physical
condition and locations of the properties, the anticipated effect on the
Company's financial results (including particularly Funds From Operations) and
the ability to sustain and potentially increase its distributions to Company
shareholders, and other factors. The Company took into consideration
capitalization rates at which it believes other shopping centers have recently
sold, but determined the price it was willing to pay primarily on the factors
discussed above related to the properties themselves and their fit with the
Company's operations. No separate independent appraisals were obtained in
connection with the acquisition of the properties by the Company. The Company,
after investigation of the properties, is not aware of any material factors,
other than those enumerated above, that would cause the financial information
reported, where available, to not be necessarily indicative of future operating
results.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial Statements
- --------------------

The statement of revenue and certain expenses included in this report relates
to Great Northern Shopping Center - Cleveland (North Olmsted), Ohio for the     
year ended December 31, 1996, which was acquired in 1997. Financial information
for the five shopping centers acquired in 1996 and two shopping centers
acquired in 1997 are not presented because these properties were either under
development or in the lease-up phase and, accordingly, the related operating
information for such centers does not exist or would not be meaningful.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
   Developers Diversified Realty Corporation


         We have audited the accompanying Combined Statement of Revenue and
Certain Expenses of Great Northern Shopping Center for the year ended December
31, 1996. This historical statement is the responsibility of management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this historical statement 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 statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the historical statement. 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
statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

         The accompanying historical statement is prepared on the basis
described in Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of
Developers Diversified Realty Corporation) and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenues and expenses of Great Northern Shopping Center.

         In our opinion, the historical statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenue and certain expenses of
Great Northern Shopping Center, on the basis described in Note 2, for the
year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

(a)      Pro forma adjustments as previously reported represent adjustments for
         those transactions enumerated in the Company's December 31, 1996 Form
         10-K. Such adjustments are summarized in (b), (c), (d) and (e) below.

(b)      No revenues or expenses have been included in the pro forma statement
         of operations for the Properties acquired in 1996 because these
         properties were either under development or in the lease-up phase and,
         accordingly, the related operating information for such centers either
         does not exist or would not be meaningful. The results of operations
         from the date of acquisition are included in the Company's historical
         results.

(c)      Changes in interest expense relating to the use of proceeds from the 
         issuance of 175,000 Depositary Shares representing 9.44% Class B 
         Cumulative Redeemable Preferred stock in January 1996 to repay the 
         revolving credit facility borrowings is not reflected herein as the 
         effect is considered insignificant.

(d)      Reflects the reduction of interest costs relating to variable rate
         indebtedness effectively repaid with the proceeds from the sale of
         2,611,500 common shares completed in March 1996.

(e)      Changes in interest expense relating to the issuance of Medium Term
         Notes completed in 1996 and the simultaneous repayment of the 
         revolving credit facility borrowings is not reflected herein as the 
         effect is considered insignificant.

(f)      Reflects revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996, of
         the properties acquired during 1997, as follows:

(g)      Reflects the reduction of interest costs relating to variable rate
         indebtedness effectively repaid with the proceeds from the sale of
         3,350,000 common shares completed in January 1997.  See Note (i) with
         regards to shares included in earnings per share calculation.

(h)      Interest expense relating to the issuance of $75 million of 7.125%
         Pass-through Asset Trust Securities completed in March of 1997 is not
         reflected herein as the proceeds thereof were considered to be used to
         acquire shopping centers with no previous operating history. 
         Accordingly, the Company would not have issued these securities until 
         the time of acquisition.

(i)      Pro forma income per common share is based upon the weighted
         average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during 1996
         and included 1,833,000 shares of the 3,350,000 common share offering 
         completed in January 1997.  The remaining 1,517,000 shares are not 
         reflected in the calculation as the proceeds were not considered to be 
         received until the date the 1996 shopping centers were acquired since 
         no previous operating history existed with regard to such properties.  
         Accordingly, the Company would not have issued these securities until 
         the time of acquisition.
