This Form 8-K/A amends Item 2 of Developers Diversified Realty Corporation's
Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 7, 1998. The acquisitions were inadvertantly filed as an 
Item 2 instead of an Item 5 Other Events. This Form 8-K/A is also being filed 
for the purpose of filing the financial statement and pro forma financial 
information required by Item 7.

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

On March 23, 1998, through a single transaction with Continental Real Estate
Companies of Columbus, Ohio, the Company completed the acquisition of 10
shopping centers, two of which were acquired through joint ventures, (the
"Acquisition Properties"). The shopping centers total 1.2 million square feet of
retail space, all of which is Company-owned. The Company's net investment in the
Acquisition Properties aggregated approximately $87 million of assets including
a $5.2 million equity investment in a 50% owned joint venture, before any
contingent consideration. The Company's net investment was initially funded
through proceeds made available through revolving credit facilities and cash of
approximately $30.4 million, mortgages assumed of approximately $51.8 million, a
minority equity interest valued at approximately $2.0 million, and the issuance
of approximately 70,000 Operating Partnership ("OP") Units valued at
approximately $2.8 million. The OP Units are convertible, on a one for one
basis, into shares of the Company's common stock. The ten shopping centers or
interests therein were owned by individual partnerships having commonality of
ownership. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement, with the same
entity mentioned above, to acquire three additional shopping centers or
interests therein located in the Columbus, Ohio area. These shopping centers
have approximately 1.0 million square feet of total GLA and have an estimated
purchase price of approximately $107 million of which the Company's net
investment will approximate $91 million. These properties are referred to herein
as the "Probable Acquisition Properties." Although the Company believes it is
probable that these properties will be acquired, there can be no assurance that
the purchase transactions will be consummated. Information regarding the
Acquisition Properties and the Probable Acquisition Properties is attached as
SCHEDULE A.

The acquisition of, or investment in, the Acquisition Properties, or with
respect to the Probable Acquisition Properties will be, pursuant to individual
agreements for the sale and purchase of each property or interests therein
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. Separate independent appraisals were not 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.

During the period January 1, 1998 to March 23, 1998, through individual
transactions, the Company completed the acquisition of two shopping centers (Bel
Air Centre located in Detroit, MI and Country Club Mall located in Idaho Falls,
ID), neither of which individually constitutes a "significant subsidiary." The
shopping centers total 0.8 million square feet of retail space, of which
approximately 0.5 million square feet is Company-owned. The Company's net
investment in the two shopping centers aggregated approximately $40.2 million,
before any

contingent consideration. The Company's net investment was initially funded
through proceeds made available through revolving credit facilities, cash and
liabilities assumed aggregating approximately $20.5 million and a mortgage
assumed of approximately $19.7 million. Country Club Mall was acquired from a
limited partnership in which the Company's Chairman Emeritus, the Chairman of
the Board and the Vice-Chairman of the Board owned, in the aggregate through a
separate partnership, a 1% general partner interest. Management believes that
the acquisition of this property was completed on terms at least as favorable to
the Company as could have been obtained from an unrelated third party. The
initial purchase price of the property was approximately $6.5 million. In
accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company may be required to pay the
seller an additional $0.8 million upon the leasing of vacant space in the
center. Information regarding these two properties is included on SCHEDULE A.

The acquisition of, or investment in, these two properties, 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. Separate independent appraisals were not 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.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


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


         We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain
expenses of Belair Centre for the year ended December 31, 1997. 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 Rule 3-14 of Regulation
S-X 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 Belair Centre.

         In our opinion, the historical statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of Belair
Centre, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year ended December 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

BELAIR CENTRE
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       OPERATION OF PROPERTY
         ---------------------

         The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses relates to
the operations of Belair Centre (the "Property"), located in Detroit, MI. The
shopping center was built in 1989. Developers Diversified Realty Corporation
(the "Company") acquired the property on February 24, 1998.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         ------------------------------------------

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------

         The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses has been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

         The accompanying financial statement is not representative of the
actual operations for the period presented, as certain revenues and expenses,
which may not be comparable to the revenues and expenses expected to be earned
or incurred by the Company in the future operations of the Property, have been
excluded. Revenues excluded consist of interest and other revenues unrelated 
to the continuing operations of the Property. Expenses excluded consist of 
depreciation on the building and improvements and amortization of organization 
costs and other intangible assets, interest expense, management fees, 
professional fees, contributions, advertising costs and other general and 
administrative costs not directly related to the future operations of the 
Property.

INCOME RECOGNITION
- ------------------

         Rental income is recorded on the straight line basis.

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 amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK
- ---------------------

         Belair Centre's tenant base includes primarily national and regional
retail chains and local retailers, consequently, the Property's credit risk is
concentrated in the retail industry.

         Revenues derived from the Property's two largest tenants, AMC Theatres
and Builders Square, aggregated 19.4% and 15.9%, respectively, of total base
revenues.

expenses of The Columbus Properties on the basis described in Note 2 for the
year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

         A combined statement of revenue and certain expenses has been 
presented because the Properties have commonality of ownership, are under

separate purchase agreements, are considered to be a single transaction since
their purchase was negotiated simultaneously.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Developers Diversified Realty Corporation


         We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain
expenses of Dublin Village Center for the year ended December 31, 1997. 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 Rule 3-14 of Regulation
S-X 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 Dublin Village Center.

         In our opinion, the historical statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of Dublin
Village Center, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.       OPERATION OF PROPERTY
         ---------------------

         The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses, relates to
the operations of Dublin Village Center (the "Property") located in Columbus,
Ohio. The shopping center was built in 1987. Developers Diversified Realty
Corporation (the "Company") intends to acquire an equity interest of
approximately 80% in the Property in 1998, although there can be no assurance
that the purchase transaction will be consummated.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         ------------------------------------------

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------

         The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses has been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

         The accompanying financial statement is not representative of the
actual operations for the period presented, as certain revenues and expenses,
which may not be comparable to the revenues and expenses expected to be earned
or incurred by the Company in the future operations of the Property, have been
excluded. Revenues excluded consist of interest and other revenues unrelated to
the continuing operations of the Property. Expenses excluded consist of
depreciation on the building and improvements and amortization of organization
costs and other intangible assets, interest expense and other general and
administrative costs not directly related to the future operations of the
Property.

INCOME RECOGNITION
- ------------------

         Rental income is recorded on the straight line basis.

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.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK
- ---------------------

         Dublin Village Center's tenant base includes primarily national and
regional retail chains and local retailers, consequently, the Property's credit
risk is concentrated in the retail industry.

         Revenues derived from the Property's two largest tenants, AMC Theatres
and PharMor, aggregated 25.9% and 7.4%, respectively, of total base revenues.

                                                      ======

          (1)  Determined depreciation utilizing a 31.5 year life for building
               based on the preliminary purchase price allocation and calculated
               interest at the effective interest rate associated with the
               mortgage debt assumed.

          The Company's purchase price is anticipated to be funded through the
          use of cash and the issuance of OP Units. The minority interest
          expense associated with these OP Units is estimated to be $63 for the
          year ended December 31, 1997.

          There can be no assurance that the Company will acquire an ownership
          interest in the Probable Acquisition Property.

(f)  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.

(g)  Reflects the net increase in interest cost of $66 relating to variable rate
     indebtedness repaid with the proceeds from the sale of $75 million 7.125%
     Pass-through Assets Trust Securities completed in March 1997. Pro forma
     interest is estimated at $1,103 and interest savings on the variable rate
     indebtedness repaid is estimated at $1,037.

(h)  Reflects the reduction of interest costs relating to variable rate
     indebtedness effectively repaid with the proceeds from the sale of
     1,300,000 common shares completed in June 1997.

(i)  Reflects the net increase in interest cost of $15 relating to the variable
     rate indebtedness repaid with the proceeds from the $202 million Medium
     Term Notes completed in 1997 and 1998. Pro forma interest incurred for the
     year ended December 31, 1997 on the Medium Term Notes is estimated at $483
     and interest savings on the variable rate indebtedness repaid is estimated
     at $468. Pro forma interest expense is calculated based on the amount of
     proceeds assumed to be used to fund the properties acquired in 1997 and
     1998 which had operating history. Shopping Centers with no operating
     history, or which were in lease up prior to the Company's acquisition, were
     not deemed to be acquired by the Company until the actual acquisition date,
     therefore, the remaining proceeds were not considered to be received until
     the earlier of the date of issuance or the date the remaining 1997 and 1998
     shopping centers were acquired.

(j)  The issuance of 507,960 common shares completed in September 1997, or
     utilization of the proceeds derived from the sale thereof, are not
     reflected herein prior to their issuance as the proceeds were considered to
     be used to acquire shopping centers with no previous operating history
     and/or for properties under development. Accordingly, the Company would not
     have issued these securities until the earlier the date of issuance or the
     date the centers were acquired.

(k)  The issuance of 316,800 common shares completed in December 1997, or
     utilization of the proceeds derived from the sale thereof, are not
     reflected herein prior to their issuance as the proceeds were considered to
     be used to acquire shopping centers with no previous operating history
     and/or for properties under development. Accordingly, the Company would not
     have issued these securities until the earlier the date of issuance or the
     date the centers were acquired.

(l)  Represents the elimination of the minority interest expense due to the
     purchase by the Company of the minority interest in a shopping center
     located in North Olmsted, Ohio in March 1998.

(m)  The general and administrative expenses of the Company have been adjusted
     by $750 to reflect the expected increased expenses estimated to be
     incurred associated with additional operating personnel and related costs
     attributable to acquisitions and development activities.

(n)  Pro forma income per common share is based upon the weighted average number
     of common shares assumed to be outstanding during 1997 and includes all
     shares issued in conjunction with the 3,350,000 common share offering in
     January 1997 and the 1,300,000 common share offering completed in June
     1997. The 507,960 shares issued in September 1997 and the 316,800 shares
     issued in December 1997 were reflected in the pro forma statement of
     operations only from the date of issuance as the proceeds were not
     considered to be received until the date the newly developed shopping
     centers were acquired in 1997 and 1998, since such centers had no operating
     history. Since the acquisition of Easton Market in Columbus, Ohio is
     assumed to have occurred on December 31, 1997, as it had no operating
     results prior to that time, the operating partnership units are excluded
     from the calculation.
