                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------


To the Board of Directors
General Growth Properties, Inc.


     We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain
expenses of Market Place Shopping Center for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This financial statement is the responsibility of Market Place Shopping
Center's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
financial 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 financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared
for the purpose of complying with certain rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of General
Growth Properties, Inc.) as described in Note B and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of Market Place Shopping Center's revenues and expenses.

     In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of Market Place
Shopping Center for the year ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

MARKET PLACE SHOPPING CENTER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES


Note 1 - Nature of Operations

         Market Place Shopping Center (the "Shopping Center") consists of a
         689,000 square foot enclosed mall shopping center, a 117,000 square 
         foot strip "Convenience Center" and a 14,600 square foot free standing
         cinema located in Champaign, Illinois.

         Three tenants lease approximately 66% of the enclosed mall shopping
         center and were responsible for approximately 23% of total revenue
         recognized in 1996.

         The Shopping Center was sold to General Growth Properties, Inc. (the  
         "Company") on March 31, 1997.                          

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Presentation
          The statement is not representative of the actual operations for the
          period presented as certain expenses that may not be comparable to
          the expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the
          acquired property have been excluded in accordance with Rule 3-14 of
          Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Expenses
          excluded consist of interest, depreciation, amortization, and other
          costs not directly related to the future operations of the property.

      Rental Income
          Income from operating leases with scheduled rent increases is
          recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term
          regardless of when payments are due.

      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
          certain expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
          differ from those estimates.

      Advertising Costs
          The cost of advertising is expenses when incurred or the first time
          the advertising takes place.

      Income Taxes
          Market Place Shopping Center's taxable income is taxed at the
          individual level.  No provision  for income taxes is included in  the
          accompanying financial statements.

                        INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


The Owners
Southlake Mall:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of
the Southlake Mall for the year ended December 31, 1996.  This financial
statement is the responsibility of the management of the property.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of revenues and
certain expenses 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 statement of revenue and certain
expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of
revenue and certain expenses.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenue and certain 
expenses.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for
the purpose of complying with certain rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A) as described in note
2 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of revenues and expenses of
the Southlake Mall.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1996, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
revenues and certain expenses of the Southlake Mall for the year ended December
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                 SOUTHLAKE MALL

              Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

(1) Business
    --------

    The statement of revenues and certain expenses includes the operations of
    the Southlake Mall (the "Mall").  The Mall, which is located in Georgia,
    was sold to General Growth Properties, Inc. (the "Company") on June 19,
    1997.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

    (a) Basis of Presentation
        ---------------------

        The financial statement is not representative of the actual operations
        for the period presented as certain expenses that may not be comparable
        to the expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the
        acquired properties have been excluded in accordance with Rule 3-14 of
        Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Expenses
        excluded consist of interest, depreciation, amortization, and other
        costs not directly related to the future operations of the property.

    (b) Revenue Recognition
        -------------------

        Income from operating leases with scheduled rent increases is
        recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term 
        regardless of when payments are due.

    (c) Estimates
        ---------

        The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
        estimates and assumptions.  Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

(3) Leases
    ------

    The following is a schedule, by year, of future minimum rental payments
    expected under executed operating leases of the Southlake Mall that have
    noncancelable lease terms, as of December 31, 1996.

            PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                       (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS - UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1  PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations is presented as
if the sale of CenterMark Properties, Inc. ("CenterMark") and the acquisitions
made in 1996 (Sooner Fashion Mall, Quail Springs Mall, Lakeview Square Mall,
Lansing Mall and Westwood Mall) and in 1997 (Market Place Shopping Center,
Century Plaza, Town East Mall and Southlake Mall), had all occurred on January
1, 1996.  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect these
transactions have been included.  Such pro forma statement of operations is
based upon the historical information of General Growth Properties, Inc.
excluding the non-recurring gain on sale of a portion of CenterMark stock and
extraordinary item and each of the above-mentioned entities.  This unaudited
pro forma statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of what actual
results of General Growth Properties, Inc. would have been assuming such
transactions had been completed as of January 1, 1996 nor does it purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods.

NOTE 2  ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS

On June 28, 1996, Westfield U.S. Investments, Pty. Limited exercised its option
to acquire the remaining 30% of the outstanding CenterMark stock from General
Growth Properties (the "Company") in two transactions.  The first payment in
the amount of $87.0 million was received on July 1, 1996, and the second
payment in the amount of $130.5 million was received on January 2, 1997.

During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company acquired a 100% ownership
interest in five properties, Park Mall, Sooner Fashion Mall, Lakeview Square,
Lansing Mall and Westwood Mall, and a 50% interest in Quail Springs Mall.  On
October 4, 1996, Park Mall in Tucson, Arizona was acquired for one million
shares of newly issued common stock ($25.0 million) and the payment of $24.0
million in cash.  Sooner Fashion Mall and 50% of Quail Springs Mall, in Norman
and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, respectively, were acquired on November 27, 1996,
for 895,928 newly issued common shares ($24.8 million), the assumption of $8.6
million of mortgage debt and the payment of $16.7 million in cash.  On December
6, 1996, the Company acquired Lakeview Square, Lansing Mall and Westwood Mall,
all located in south central Michigan for an aggregate purchase price of $132.1
million.  The purchase price consisted of $92.4 million of mortgage debt
assumption, of which $4.4 million was retired at closing, and 1,445,000 newly
issued Operating Partnership Units ($39.7 million).  These acquisitions along
with the applicable pro forma information was reported in Amendment No. 2 to
Form 8-K/A filed on February 18, 1997.

On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Market Place Mall
for a cash purchase price of approximately $70.0 million which was funded by an
unsecured short-term facility.  Market Place Mall is located in Champaign,
Illinois.

<PAGE>   17


During the second quarter of 1997, the Company also acquired a 100% ownership
interest in two other properties, Century Plaza Shopping Center, Southlake Mall
and a 50% interest in Town East Mall.  Century Plaza Shopping Center located in
Birmingham, Alabama was acquired on May 1, 1997 for $31.8 million in cash.
Southlake Mall was acquired on June 19, 1997, for a purchase price of $67.0
million.  The purchase price consisted of $45.1 million of mortgage debt
assumption, $11.5 million (353,537 units) of newly issued Operating Partnership
Units, and $10.4 million in cash.  Southlake Mall is located in Atlanta,
Georgia. On June 11, 1997, the Company acquired a 50% interest in Town East
Mall, located in Mesquite, Texas for $56.6 million.  The consideration included
approximately $27.5 million in cash, the assumption of approximately $27.9
million of mortgage indebtedness and the assumption of $1.1 million in net
current liabilities.

NOTE 3  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(a) MANAGEMENT FEES

The management fee adjustment represents the difference in management costs
charged and/or allocated to the properties by the previous owner and the new
rate charged by General Growth Management, Inc.

(b) DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization is adjusted to include additional amounts related
to the periods from January 1, 1996 to the dates of acquisition for the 1996
acquisitions and for the entire year of 1996 for the acquisitions made in 1997.

(c) INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense increased due to a combination of debt assumption, increased
corporate borrowings and the repayment of outstanding indebtedness with the
proceeds from the sale of CenterMark.  In connection with the acquisitions
described above, the Company assumed $169.6 million of mortgage debt bearing
interest at the weighted average rate of 9.35%.  The Company also borrowed
approximately $184.8 million to fund the cash portion of the acquisitions.
Company indebtedness was reduced by $217.5 million with the proceeds from the
sale of CenterMark Properties.  The pro forma interest expense on new
borrowings and the interest expense reduction from the use of the CenterMark
proceeds was calculated using an interest rate of 7.34%.

(d) EQUITY IN CENTERMARK

The adjustment of $1.0 million included in the 1996 Pro Forma filed in the
Company's Form 10-K reflects the reduction in ownership offset by the change
from the equity method of accounting to the cost method.

The Company, prior to January 2, 1997, had owned a minority interest in
CenterMark Properties, and as a result of the sale an adjustment of $10.4
million was made to remove the income previously recognized from the pro forma
income statement.

(e) MINORITY INTEREST

The pro forma income statement has been adjusted to reflect the allocation of
earnings to the minority interest.

NOTE 1  PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the
acquisitions of the 100% ownership interest in Century Plaza Shopping Center
and Southlake Mall and a 50% interest in Town East Mall had all occurred on
March 31, 1997.  Market Place Mall was acquired on March 31, 1997, and is,
therefore, already included in the General Growth Properties, Inc. balance
sheet as of March 31, 1997.  In managements opinion, all adjustments necessary
to reflect these transactions have been included.
