                         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 October 5, 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 directly or indirectly owned by entities that elect or have elected to
be treated as REITs for Federal income tax purposes, a presentation of estimated
taxable operating results is not applicable.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors of General Growth Properties, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
Coastland Center (the "Property") for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of the
Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
statement of revenue 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 revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in Form 8-K/A of General Growth Properties,
Inc. as described in Note 2 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of
the Property's revenue and expenses.

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

                                COASTLAND CENTER
               NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

1. BUSINESS

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of Coastland Center (the "Property"), a regional shopping mall
located in Naples, Florida.

 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in Form 8-K/A of General Growth Properties,
Inc. The statements are not representative of the actual operations of the
Property for the periods presented nor indicative of future operations, as
certain expenses, primarily depreciation, amortization, property management fees
and interest, have been excluded.

 Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized as income in the period earned. Certain leases of
the Property provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is
due or where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. The
Property records rental income for the full term of each lease on a
straight-line basis.

 Use of Estimates

The preparation of the statements of revenue and certain expenses requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

 3. INTERIM PERIOD (Unaudited)

The unaudited statement of revenue and certain expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period
from January 1, 1998, to June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of future
operating results.

                                      F-4

        NOTES TO PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

 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. ("GGMI"), an affiliate of the
Company.

(b) Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization is adjusted to include additional amounts related
to the periods from January 1, 1997 to the dates of acquisition for the 1997
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 $1,319,097 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, Spring Hill Mall, and Coastland Center
acquisitions.

(d) Minority Interest

earnings to the minority interest.

average rate of 8.50%. The Company also issued approximately $1,134,000 of
secured and unsecured borrowings to fund the cash portion of the acquisitions.

rate of 6.65% for acquisitions prior to June 30, 1998 and 6.61% for the
