           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

                           (UNAUDITED)

             ($000's omitted, except share amounts)


     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Company's audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, which are
incorporated by reference in the Company's 1997 annual report on Form 10-K,
as certain disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included.  The results for the
interim periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company, Urban Shopping Centers, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership")
and all controlled affiliates.  The effect of all significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
presentation.

     The equity method of accounting has been applied in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements with respect to the Company's interest in
Water Tower Joint Venture ("Water Tower Place"), Coral-CS/LTD Associates
("Coral Square Mall"), West Dade County Associates ("Miami International
Mall"), S. F. Shopping Centre Associates, L.P. ("San Francisco Shopping
Centre"), Copley Place Associates, LLC ("Copley Place"), Valencia Town
Center Associates, L.P. ("Valencia Town Center"), Citrus Park Venture and
Urban Retail Properties Co. (the "Management Company").

     Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the 1998 presentation.

     Development costs, including interest and real estate taxes incurred in
connection with construction or expansion of certain investment properties,
are capitalized as a cost of the investment property and depreciated over the
estimated useful life of the related asset.  During the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred interest of $11,405 and $7,964,
respectively, and capitalized interest of $571 and $967, respectively.

     Cash and cash equivalents (which aggregated $2,578 and $1,143 at
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively) include a treasury money
market fund which invests principally in U.S. Treasury notes and bills ($777
and $207 at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively).  Other
short-term investments (generally with original maturities of one year or
less) are generally held to maturity and aggregated $128 and $125 at
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.  Cash equivalents and
other short-term investments are held at cost which approximates market.

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

     Accounting for Derivatives

     The Company uses interest rate swap agreements as part of its interest
rate risk management strategy.  These off-balance sheet derivatives are
classified as synthetic alterations.  The criteria that must be satisfied by
synthetic alteration accounting are as follows: (i) the liability to be
converted has exposure to interest rate risk and (ii) the derivative is
designated and effective as a synthetic alteration of the liability.

     Accrual accounting is applied for these derivatives treated as synthetic
alterations, and income and expense are recorded as adjustments of interest
expense.  Fees, if any, related to these off-balance sheet investment products
are amortized on the interest method over the life of the derivative.  If the
balance of the liability falls below that of the derivative, the excess
portion of the derivative is marked to market and the resulting gain or loss
included in income, as applicable.  If a derivative is terminated independent
of the underlying debt, the gain or loss is deferred and amortized over the
remaining life of the derivative.

     Derivatives that do not satisfy the criteria above would be carried at
market value with changes in market value to be recognized as current income
or expense.


(2)  INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include investments
in certain partnerships in which the Company does not own a controlling
interest. These investments are reported using the equity method.  To the
extent the Company's investment basis differs from its share of the capital
of an unconsolidated partnership, such difference is amortized over the
depreciable lives of the unconsolidated partnership's investment assets.
Investments in unconsolidated partnerships consist of the following:

Name                                  Property              Company's Ownership
- --------------------------     -------------------------    -------------------

                                 Coral Springs, FL
West Dade County               Miami International Mall,            40%

             ($000's omitted, except share amounts)


(2)  INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)


  (a)  The Company owns a 55% interest in a retail property (Water Tower Place)
through its investment in Water Tower Joint Venture ("WTJV").  All major
decisions concerning the retail property require the approval of both partners
of WTJV and thus the Company does not control the partnership.  On
February 10, 1997, the Company refinanced the Water Tower Place $170,000 of
indebtedness.  The new loan matures on February 1, 1999; however, it may be
extended for two one-year periods.  Of the total $170,000, $160,000 bears
interest at LIBOR +1.125% and $10,000 bears interest at LIBOR +1.500%.

  (b)  On June 17, 1997, the Company made an investment in a partnership
resulting in a preferred 50% ownership interest in San Francisco Shopping
Centre.

  (c)  On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired a one-third equity interest in
Copley Place Associates, LLC.

  (d)  The outside partner has a right to all cash distributions until it has
received a return on and of its contributions to the partnership (as set
forth in the partnership agreement).

  (e)  On June 23, 1995, the Company acquired a 50% interest in Citrus Park
Venture (a development parcel).  Prior to August 1, 1997, the Company and the
Management Company each owned a 50% economic interest in Citrus Park Venture.
On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired the rights to the remaining 50%
economic interest in Citrus Park Venture from an affiliate of JMB Realty
Corporation ("JMB Realty") in a transaction valued at $8,212.  In addition, a
bond offering of $26,700 to fund the roadwork surrounding the property was
completed by the Citrus Park Community Development District (the "CDD")
during the fourth quarter of 1996.  The Operating Partnership assisted the CDD
in obtaining the financing for the roadwork by guaranteeing the irrevocable
letter of credit which supports the bonds.

(3)  INVESTMENT IN THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY (CONTINUED)

  (a) Includes 50% of the outstanding mortgage loan of an affiliated joint
venture.  The mortgage loan, with a 50% face value of $25,750, was acquired
for $19,312 resulting in a discount of $6,438.  The loan bears interest at a
variable rate based on market interest rates (as defined) and is secured by
the affiliated joint venture's interest in a land parcel located in Chicago,
IL.  Interest is recorded for financial reporting purposes when received.
Accordingly, accretion of the discount has also not been recorded.  During
the fourth quarter of 1997, the Management Company wrote-down the carrying
value of the mortgage loan by $8,812, due to the uncertainty of realizing the
carrying value upon future sale or development.

  (b) Includes $51,000 of indebtedness secured by the Management Company's
interest in certain management contracts and a guarantee secured by Penn
Square Mall Limited Partnership (a consolidated venture) which is secured by
Penn Square Mall.  The $51,000 bears interest at 7.54% per annum and matures
on August 1, 2001.  Also includes $9,000 of indebtedness owed to affiliates
of JMB Realty which bears interest at 7.0% per annum and matures on
September 1, 2001. The effective interest rate on the aggregate $60,000 of
indebtedness is 7.46% through September 1, 2001.  The Management Company also
is indebted under a $10,000 note payable to the Company.  Such note bears
interest at 12% per annum and matures on September 1, 2001.

     The Management Company provides management, leasing and development
services to certain of the Company's consolidated and unconsolidated
investment properties, to affiliated entities and to third parties.  During
1995, management contracts for six of the Company's consolidated investment
properties were terminated and new management contracts were entered into with
the Operating Partnership.  In connection therewith, the Operating Partnership
entered into a service agreement with the Management Company to provide
supervisory services by Management Company personnel at 105% of the
Management Company's cost thereof.  In the three months ended March 31, 1997,
the Management Company received such reimbursements from the Operating
Partnership of approximately $192. On January 1, 1998, these management
contracts were terminated and new management contracts were entered into with
the Management Company.  Concurrently therewith, the foregoing service
agreement was terminated.  In the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
management, leasing and development revenues of approximately $1,493 and
$2,260, respectively, resulted from services provided to affiliated entities.
In addition, the Management Company received reimbursements (at cost) of
payroll and other operating expenses from affiliated entities for activities
performed on such affiliated entities' behalf.  Such reimbursements were
approximately $3,943 and $4,015 during the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.  Additionally, rent expense, including building
expenses, paid by the Management Company to affiliates of JMB Realty in the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were $193 and $195, respectively.

     (a)  Management services of $448 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, provided by the Operating Partnership to certain consolidated
investment properties, and included above, have been eliminated in
consolidation.  On January 1, 1998, these contracts were terminated and new
management contracts were entered into with the Management Company.

     The Company has purchase options, until October 2000, with respect to
interests in certain improved retail properties in which JMB Realty and
certain of its affiliates ("JMB Partners") has an interest.  In addition,
these interests may not be sold by JMB Partners without first offering such
interests to the Company at the lower of the option price or the then fair
market value of such property.  The Company also has options, until
October 2000, to purchase certain retail development land parcels from JMB
Partners at the lower of fair market value or 110% of allocable cost (all
terms as defined).  In addition, the sale or development of any development
parcels by JMB Partners is subject to a right of first offer in favor of the
Company at the same option price.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     FINANCIAL CONDITION.  Net cash flows from operating activities increased
$5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in rental operations as discussed below.

     Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased $10.2 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the three months ended
March 31, 1997.  This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in
additions to investment properties at Wolfchase Galleria resulting from its
completion and opening on February 26, 1997; partially offset by an increase
in cash contributions to Citrus Park Venture.

     Net cash flows used in financing activities increased $13.9 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in
the dividends paid resulting from the issuance of additional shares of common
stock, unit voting common stock and preferred stock in the second through
fourth quarters of 1997 and first quarter of 1998, (ii) an increase in the
distributions paid resulting from the issuance of common and preferred units
in connection with certain of the Company's 1997 acquisitions, (iii) an
increase in the quarterly distribution and dividend per unit and share,
respectively, beginning in the first quarter of 1998, (iv) a decrease in the
proceeds from shares of common stock issued during first quarter of 1998 as
compared to first quarter of 1997, and (v) a decrease in the net fundings of
the construction loan at Wolfchase Galleria due to the repayment of the
construction loan during second quarter of 1997.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company and its consolidated ventures had cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $2.7 million.

     On March 5, 1998, the Company paid $10.2 million to common and preferred
shareholders as a dividend of $.5250 per share representing its fourth quarter
1997 dividend.  On March 5, 1998, the Operating Partnership paid $4.6 million
to its limited partners as a distribution of $.5250 per unit representing its
fourth quarter 1997 distribution.

     CAPITALIZATION.  At March 31, 1998, the Company's debt (including the
Company's share of debt of unconsolidated partnerships and the Management
Company) totaled $951.4 million of which $927.8 million is fixed rate debt and
$23.6 million is floating rate debt.  On November 6, 1996, the Company entered
into an agreement with a lender for a one year $5.0 million unsecured revolving
line of credit, which on January 30, 1998, was amended to increase the line to
$7.5 million and extend the maturity to January 29, 1999.  As of March 31,
1998, $4.3 million was outstanding on this line of credit.  As of March 31,
1998, $29.3 million was outstanding on the Company's $90.0 million secured,
revolving line of credit.  During the first quarter of 1998, the Company
entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement on $10.0 million of its
floating rate indebtedness thereby fixing the all-in rate at 6.644%. Subsequent
to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement with a maturity date of December 1, 2005 for the MainPlace
indebtedness thereby fixing the all-in interest rate at 6.25% commencing
May 1, 1998.
<PAGE>
     Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that operating
cash flows will be sufficient to service all Company debt and anticipates
repayment or refinancing when such amounts are due in the ordinary course of
its business.  At March 31, 1998, the Company's ratio of Company debt to total
market capitalization (which includes the market value of issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and of partnership
interests in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company, plus Company
debt) was approximately 49%, as illustrated by the table at the end of the
liquidity and capital resources section.  The debt to total market
capitalization ratio is based upon the market value of the common stock and
indebtedness of the Company and, accordingly, will fluctuate with changes in
the value of the common stock (and the issuance of additional shares of
common stock, or other forms of capital, if any, and the amount of outstanding
indebtedness).

     On November 13, 1997, the Company issued $100.0 million in cumulative
convertible redeemable preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") with a liquidation
preference of $33.34 per share.  Quarterly dividends on the Preferred Stock
are equal to the greater of (i) $0.50 per share or (ii) the quarterly dividend
then payable on the shares of common stock into which the Preferred Stock is
convertible.  The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock, at the
option of the holder, at a conversion price of $33.34 per share (subject to
antidilution adjustments) at anytime after August 1998.  After six years the
Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, for cash at a
redemption price of $33.34 per share.  The net proceeds of the issue, after
deducting transaction costs, were used to fund a portion of the November 14,
1997 acquisitions of Fox Valley Center and Hawthorn Center.

     The Company believes that its cash generated from property operations
will provide the necessary funds on a short-term and long-term basis for its
operating expenses, interest expenses on outstanding indebtedness and
recurring capital expenditures and all dividends to the shareholders necessary
to satisfy the REIT requirements.  Sources of capital for future acquisitions,
development and non-recurring capital expenditures, such as major building
renovations and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal payments,
including balloon payments, on the outstanding indebtedness are expected to be
obtained from the following sources:  (i) excess funds available for
distribution, (ii) working capital reserves, (iii) additional Company or
property financing, (iv) proceeds from the sale of assets, including
outparcels and (v) additional equity raised in the public or private markets
(including the issuance of additional units and/or unit voting common stock).
Accordingly, the Company expects that it may incur additional indebtedness.
In light of current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity
capital, market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities and
other factors, the Company may consider an increase or decrease in its ratio
of Company debt to total market capitalization accordingly.

     CAPITAL INVESTMENTS.  On November 14, 1997, the Company acquired Fox
Valley Center and Hawthorn Center.  The Company is in the process of renovating
Fox Valley Center at a cost of approximately $13.0 million.  Work has begun on
the renovation and it is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of
1998.  In addition, the Company entered into a put option agreement with an
unaffiliated third party for the purchase of a regional mall.  The
unaffiliated third party may exercise the put option from October 1, 1998
through December 31, 1998 for a purchase price to the Company of $115.0
million plus any capital expenditures incurred by the third party.



<PAGE>
     The Company's current development project is the approximate 1.1 million
square foot Citrus Park Town Center ("Citrus Park") in Tampa, Florida.
Burdines, Dillard's, JCPenney and Sears have agreed to be anchor stores for
the project.  Citrus Park is scheduled to open in March 1999.  In addition,
an approximate 350,000 square foot community center opposite the regional
mall, Citrus Park Plaza, is also scheduled to open in March 1999.  A bond
offering of $26.7 million to fund the roadwork surrounding the property was
completed by the Citrus Park Community Development District (the "CDD").  The
Operating Partnership assisted the CDD in obtaining the financing for the
roadwork by guaranteeing the irrevocable letter of credit which supports the
bonds.

     The Company's next planned development project is scheduled to be the
Galleria at Roseville in Roseville, California, which is near Sacramento.
Current plans for Roseville to open in Fall 2000 are progressing on schedule.
Nordstrom and Sears have already committed to be two of the anchor stores for
the approximate 1.1 million square foot mall.  Negotiations are underway with
two additional anchors.

     Certain statements set forth herein contain forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, statements relating to the timing and
anticipated capital expenditures of the Company's development programs and
acquisitions.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected
in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the
actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-
looking statements.  Certain factors that might cause such differences
include general economic conditions, local real estate conditions,
construction delays due to the unavailability of construction materials,
weather conditions or other delays beyond the control of the Company.
Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as
reflections of the Company's current operating and development and acquisition
plans and estimates.  These plans and estimates are subject to revision from
time to time as additional information becomes available, and actual results
may differ from those indicated in the referenced statements.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
     MARCH 31, 1997

     Shopping center revenues increased $13.2 million to $46.5 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $33.3 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1997.  This increase was primarily a result of the Company's
acquisitions of Fox Valley Center and Hawthorn Center on November 14, 1997 and
due to Wolfchase Galleria having been open for the entire quarter in 1998 as
compared to a partial quarter in 1997.

     Shopping center expenses, including depreciation and amortization,
increased $8.8 million to $27.9 million in the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $19.1 million in the same period for 1997.  This increase was
primarily a result of the Company's acquisitions of Fox Valley Center and
Hawthorn Center on November 14, 1997 and due to Wolfchase Galleria having
been open for the entire quarter in 1998 as compared to a partial quarter in
1997.

     Mortgage and other interest increased $3.8 million to $10.8 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $7.0 million in the same period
for 1997.  This increase was primarily a result of the Company's acquisitions
of Fox Valley Center and Hawthorn Center on November 14, 1997 and due to
Wolfchase Galleria having been open for the entire quarter in 1998 as compared
to a partial quarter in 1997.

     Income from unconsolidated partnerships increased $1.0 million to $1.9
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $.9 million in the same
period for 1997.  This increase was primarily attributable to the Company's
investment in a partnership resulting in a preferred 50% ownership interest
in San Francisco Shopping Centre on June 17, 1997 and the purchase of a
one-third equity interest in Copley Place on August 1, 1997.



<PAGE>
     Income from the Management Company decreased $.6 million to a $.8 million
loss in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from a $.2 million loss in the
same period for 1997.  This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase
in payroll expense as a result of the incentive unit program and an increase
in depreciation expense as a result of the purchase of computer hardware and
software during 1997.

     The extraordinary item (net of minority interest) of $.1 million in 1997
resulted from the write-off of deferred expenses and loan fees related to the
repayment of debt at Water Tower Place.
