                         PROFORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following financial information is presented in accordance with Rule 3-14 of
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, such
historical information has been audited only for the property's most recent
fiscal year as the transactions relating to the acquisition of the property  (as
described in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 30,
1998) are not with related parties and the registrant, after reasonable inquiry,
is not aware of any material factors related to the property not otherwise
disclosed that would cause the reported financial information to not be
necessarily indicative of future operating results.  In addition, as the
property will be indirectly owned by an entity that has elected to be treated as
a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, a presentation of estimated taxable
operating results is not applicable.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of General Growth Properties, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of
Spring Hill Mall for the year ended December 31, 1997.  This statement is the
responsibility of General Growth Properties, Inc.'s management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this 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 statement of revenues 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.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall statement presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in
note 1 to the statements of revenue and certain expenses.  It not intended to be
a complete presentation of Spring Hill Mall's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as described in note 1, of Spring
Hill Mall for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                SPRING HILL MALL

              NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
          PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 THROUGH JUNE 30,1998 (UNAUDITED)
                        AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,1997

                             (Dollars in Thousands)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of the regional shopping mall known as Spring Hill Mall (the
"Property") located in West Dundee (Chicago), Illinois.  On September 15, 1998,
General Growth Properties, Inc. purchased the Property from TCW Realty Fund V.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses have been prepared
for the purpose of complying with the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired and,
accordingly, are not representative of the actual results of operations of the
Property for the period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 and the year ended
December 31, 1997 due to the exclusion of the following items, which my not be
comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property:


   -    Management fees
   -    Property and other taxes
   -    Depreciation and amortization
   -    Other items not directly related to the proposed future operations
         of the Property


Property taxes are expected to significantly increase in connection with the
reassessment of the Property by the taxing authority as a result of the change
in ownership of the Property and, therefore, property taxes are excluded from
certain expenses in the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses.
Tenant reimbursement revenues related to property taxes are included in the
accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses and the amount of
increase in such reimbursements that may result from increased property taxes
have not been determined.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

(a)  Revenue Recognition

Minimum rental income is recognized using the accrual method based on
contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements which approximates the
straight-line method.  Contingent rents, which are based on the operating
results of certain tenants, are accrued as earned.  Tenant reimbursements, which
consist of reimbursements from tenants for certain operating expenses are
accrued as such operating expenses are incurred.






                                      F-4
<PAGE>   9


(b)  Expenses

Expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

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

(d)  Unaudited Interim Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses

The statement of revenue and certain expenses for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998 is unaudited.  In management's opinion, such financial statement
reflects all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
presentation of revenue and certain expenses for the interim period.  All such
adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.



3.  LEASES

Shopping mall space is leased to tenants under various operating leases with
terms ranging primarily from two to ten years.

Future minimum rents to be received under leases in effect at December 31, 1997,
are as follows:

        NOTES TO PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
              (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

NOTE 1  PROFORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This unaudited proforma condensed consolidated statement of operations is
presented as if (i) the sale of CenterMark Properties, Inc. ("CenterMark") and
the acquisitions made in 1997 (Market Place Mall, Century Plaza Shopping Center,
Town East Mall, Southlake Mall, Eden Prairie Mall, GGP/Ivanhoe Portfolio Malls
and Valley Hills Mall), (ii) the acquisitions made prior to July 16, 1998
(Southwest Plaza, Northbrook Court, Altamonte Mall, the MEPC Portfolio and the
USPPI Portfolio - all as previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K/A dated
September 29, 1998) and the acquisitions made from July 16, 1998 through
September 15, 1998 (Pierre Bossier Mall and Spring Hill Mall) and (iii) the
Company's use of the net proceeds of the June 4, 1998 public offering of
depositary shares of 7.25% Preferred Income Equity Redeemable Stock (the
"Offering" or "Convertible Preferred Stock") to fund the acquisitions and for
other working capital purposes, had all occurred on January 1, 1997.  In
management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect these transactions
have been included. Such proforma 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 the historical information of each of the above-mentioned entities for
the year ended December 31, 1997.  The MEPC Portfolio information reflects the
results of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.  This
unaudited proforma 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, 1997 nor does it purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods.

acquisitions and for the entire year of 1997 for the acquisitions made in 1998.

(c) Interest Expense

Interest expense increased due to a combination of debt assumption and increased
borrowings.  In connection with the acquisitions described above, the Company
assumed approximately $127,000 of mortgage debt bearing interest at the weighted
average rate of 8.50%.  The Company also issued approximately $1,028,000 of
secured and unsecured borrowings to fund the cash portion of the acquisitions.
The proforma interest expense on new borrowings was calculated using an interest
rate of 6.65% for acquisitions prior to June 30, 1998 and 6.61% for the
Altamonte Mall, Pierre Bossier Mall and Spring Hill Mall acquisitions.

(d) Minority Interest

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

              (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


NOTE 1  PROFORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This unaudited proforma condensed consolidated statement of operations is
presented as if (i) the acquisitions made prior to July 16, 1998 (Southwest
Plaza, Northbrook Court, Altamonte Mall, the MEPC Portfolio and the USPPI
Portfolio - all as previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K/A dated October
1, 1998) and the acquisitions made from July 16, 1998 through September 15, 1998
(Pierre Bossier Mall and Spring Hill Mall) and (ii) the Company's use of the net
proceeds of the June 4, 1998 public offering of depositary shares of 7.25%
Preferred Income Equity Redeemable Stock (the "Offering" or "Convertible
Preferred Stock") to fund the acquisitions and for other working capital
purposes, had all occurred on January 1, 1998.  In management's opinion, all
adjustments necessary to reflect these transactions have been included. Such
proforma statement of operations is based upon the historical information of
General Growth Properties, Inc. and the historical information of each of the
above-mentioned entities for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  This unaudited
proforma 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, 1998 nor does it purport to
represent the results of operations for future periods.


NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS

On April 3, 1998 and May 8, 1998, the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest
in Southwest Plaza in Denver, Colorado and Northbrook Court in Northbrook,
Illinois, respectively. The aggregate purchase price for Southwest Plaza and
Northbrook Court was approximately $261,000.

On June 2, 1998, the Company acquired the U.S. retail property portfolio of MEPC
plc (the "MEPC Portfolio"), a United Kingdom based real estate company ("MEPC")
through the purchase of the stock of the three U.S. subsidiaries of MEPC that
directly or indirectly own the MEPC Portfolio.  The Company acquired the MEPC
Portfolio for approximately $871,000 (less certain adjustments), approximately
$830,000 of which was borrowed. After repayment of approximately $217,000 of
such acquisition financing from the Offering, the MEPC Portfolio is currently
secured by a 6.7% one year $550,000 loan and an approximately $63,000 one year
floating rate loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points.  The MEPC
Portfolio consists of 100% ownership of eight enclosed mall shopping centers;
the Apache Mall in Rochester, Minnesota, the Boulevard Mall in Las Vegas,
Nevada, the Cumberland Mall in Atlanta, Georgia, the McCreless Mall in San
Antonio, Texas, the Northridge Fashion Center in Northridge (Los Angeles),
California, the Regency Square Mall in Jacksonville, Florida, the Riverlands

On May 14, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to
acquire U.S. Prime Property, Inc. ("USPPI"), a private REIT.  On July 23, 1998,
effective as of June 30, 1998, the Company acquired through a merger, USPPI.
The Company also reached agreement with a joint venture partner pursuant to
which the joint venture partner acquired 49% of the common stock acquired
pursuant to the merger agreement and the Company retained the remainder of the
common stock.  The newly merged entity ("GGP Ivanhoe II") will continue to
operate as a private REIT and will be accounted for by the Company on the equity
method.  The aggregate consideration paid pursuant to the merger agreement was
approximately $625,000 (less certain adjustments, including a credit of
approximately $64,000 for outstanding mortgage indebtedness and accrued interest
thereon).  GGP Ivanhoe II obtained a $392,000 interim loan bearing interest at
LIBOR plus 90 basis points and due July 1, 1999, and the balance of the
consideration paid was represented by equity from the Company and the venture
partner in proportion to their respective stock ownership.  Pursuant to the
purchase and venture agreements, the Company was obligated to contribute
approximately $91,290 to GGP Ivanhoe II of which approximately $18,800 was
contributed on June 30, 1998 and the remaining approximately $72,490 (less
certain interest and other credits) was contributed in mid-July, 1998.  The
Company's capital contributions were funded primarily from its line of credit
facility as described in Note 6. GGP Ivanhoe II owns: the Landmark Mall in
Alexandria, Virginia; the Mayfair Mall and adjacent office buildings in
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin; the Meadows Mall in Las Vegas, Nevada; the Northgate Mall
in Chattanooga, Tennessee; Oglethorpe Mall in Savannah, Georgia; and the Park
City Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

On July 21, 1998 the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Altamonte
Mall in Altamonte Springs (Orlando), Florida.  The purchase price consisted of
approximately $141,000 (3,683,143 units) of newly issued units of limited
partnership of GGP Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Company and
approximately $28,000 in cash funded from the Company's credit facility.

On September 3, 1998, the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest in the
Pierre Bossier Mall in Bossier City (Shreveport), Louisiana. The aggregate
consideration paid for the Pierre Bossier Mall was approximately $52,700
(subject to prorations and certain adjustments) which was paid in the form of
approximately $10,000 in cash (funded from the Company's line of credit), a new
mortgage loan (obtained from an independent third party) of approximately
$42,000 and the assumption of approximately $700 of existing debt. The Company
had previously loaned the sellers approximately $50,000 and received an option
to buy the property. In conjunction with the closing of the sale, the loan was
fully repaid.

West Dundee (Chicago), Illinois. The aggregate consideration paid by the
Operating Company for the Spring Hill Mall was approximately $124,000 consisting
of approximately $32,000 in cash (through the Company's line of credit and a new
10-year fixed-rate $92,000 mortgage with an independent third party lender. The
new mortgage bears interest at 6.60% per annum and provides for monthly payments

NOTE 3 PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(a) Management Fees

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

(b) Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is adjusted to include additional amounts related
to the months ended June 30, 1998 for the acquisitions made in 1998.

(c) Interest Expense

Interest expense increased due to a combination of debt assumption and increased
borrowings.  In connection with the acquisitions described above, the Company
assumed approximately $127,000 of mortgage debt bearing interest at the weighted
average rate of 8.50%.  The Company also issued approximately $1,028,000 of
secured and unsecured borrowings to fund the cash portion of the acquisitions.
The proforma interest expense on new borrowings was calculated using an interest
rate of 6.65% for acquisitions prior to June 30, 1998 and 6.61% for the
Altamonte Mall, Pierre Bossier Mall and Spring Hill Mall acquisitions.

(d) Minority Interest

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