              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.     ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and
       self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company made its
       initial public offering of common stock on November 2, 1993 (the "IPO")
       and simultaneously became the managing general partner of Chelsea GCA
       Realty Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), an operating
       partnership which at June 30, 1996 owned and provided development,
       leasing, marketing and management services for 17 upscale and
       fashion-oriented manufacturers' outlet centers (the "Properties")
       containing approximately 3.3 million square feet of gross leasable area
       ("GLA"). The Properties are located near large metropolitan areas
       including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Atlanta,
       Portland (Oregon), Kansas City, and Cleveland, or at or near tourist
       destinations including the Napa Valley, Palm Springs and the Monterey
       Peninsula. The Company also has a number of properties under development.

       All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations
       conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Due to the Company's
       ability, as the sole general partner, to exercise both financial and
       operational control over the Operating Partnership, it is consolidated in
       the accompanying financial statements. All intercompany transactions have
       been eliminated in consolidation.

       Ownership of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 1996 was as
       follows:


            Company                 68.8%               11,780,700  units
            Unitholders             31.2%                5,347,300  units
                                   -------            ------------
                  TOTAL            100.0%               17,128,000


       The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include
       the accounts of Solvang Designer Outlets ("Solvang"), a limited
       partnership in which the Company has a 50% interest and is the sole
       general partner. As the sole general partner, the Company has the ability
       to exercise both financial and operational control over the partnership.
       Solvang is not material to the operations or financial position of the
       Company.

       The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
       have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
       principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
       Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
       include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted
       accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
       of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
       considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating
       results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not
       necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
       ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements should be read in
       conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
       notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
       ended December 31, 1995.

       Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with
       current period presentation.

2.     BANK LINE OF CREDIT

       On March 29, 1996, the Company replaced its secured revolving credit
       facility (the "Secured Facility") with a new, unsecured $100 million line
       of credit (the "Unsecured Facility"). The Unsecured Facility expires
       March 29, 1998. Interest on the outstanding balance is payable monthly at
       the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.75%, or the prime rate, at the
       Company's option. A fee on the unused portion of the Unsecured Facility
       is payable quarterly at a rate of 0.25% per annum. The outstanding
       balance at June 30, 1996 was $49.0 million, which approximates fair
       value. An additional $1.0 million of the Unsecured Facility was reserved
       for letters of credit issued to secure commitments to fund a traffic
       mitigation plan at a new center.

       The Unsecured Facility requires compliance with certain loan covenants
       relating to debt service coverage, tangible net worth, cash flow,
       earnings, occupancy rate, new development and dividends. The Company has
       remained in compliance with these covenants since inception of the
       facility.

       Interest and loan costs of approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million
       were capitalized as development costs during the three and six months
       ended June 30, 1996.

3.     NOTES PAYABLE

       In January 1996, the Company's Operating Partnership completed a $100
       million public debt offering of 7.75% unsecured notes due January 2001
       (the "Notes"), which are guaranteed by the Company. The five-year
       non-callable Notes were priced at a discount of 99.952 to yield 7.85% to
       investors. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay
       substantially all of the borrowings under the Secured Facility.

4.     DIVIDENDS

       On June 13, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.575
       per share dividend to shareholders of record on June 28, 1996. The
       dividend, totaling $6.8 million, was paid on July 22, 1996. The Operating
       Partnership simultaneously paid a $0.575 per unit cash distribution,
       totaling $3.1 million, to its unitholders.

5.     INCOME TAXES

       The Company is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Internal
       Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and generally will not be subject to
       federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 95% of its REIT
       taxable income to its stockholders and meets certain other requirements.
       If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the
       Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at
       regular corporate rates. The Company may also be subject to certain state
       and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise
       taxes on its undistributed taxable income. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the
       Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements and was not subject
       to federal income taxes.

6.     NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

       Net income per common share is computed in accordance with the treasury
       stock method and is based on net income and the weighted average number
       of common shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during
       the periods. The common stock equivalent shares represent options issued.

7.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       Management has determined that the foundation slab at one of its outlet
       centers was installed improperly and will require corrective action, the
       cost of which management estimates will be in excess of $1 million.
       Management believes such costs may be recoverable from the original
       contractor and/or engineers, and that any costs incurred by the Company
       will not materially affect the financial position, operating results or
       liquidity of the Company.

       The Company is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to
       its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company
       or its properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary
       course of business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by
       the Company related to this litigation will not materially affect the
       financial position, operating results or liquidity of the Company.

8.     RELATED PARTY INFORMATION

       The Company recognized lease settlement income of approximately $99,000
       from a related party during the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
       amount is included in other income in the accompanying condensed
       consolidated financial statements.

9.     EXTRAORDINARY ITEM

       Deferred financing costs of $0.6 million (net of minority interest of
       $0.3 million) related to the Secured Facility replaced in March 1996 have
       been written off and reflected in the accompanying financial statements
       as an extraordinary item.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These
financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to reflect a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1996 to the three months ended
June 30, 1995.

Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased $0.7
million to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $7.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due
to increases in revenues offset by interest on borrowings and increases in
depreciation and amortization.

Base rentals increased $2.3 million, or 20.3%, to $13.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 from $11.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 1995 due to expansions, new center openings and higher average rents.

Percentage rents increased $0.1 million to $0.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, from $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.
The increase was primarily due to increases in tenant sales at the Company's
larger centers and an increase in tenants contributing percentage rents.

Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $0.5 million, or 10.6%, to $5.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance costs at new and
expanded centers. The average recovery of reimbursable expenses was 94.0% in
1996 and 1995.

Other income increased $0.3 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
primarily as a result of increased interest and a lease termination settlement
in the 1996 period.

Interest in excess of amounts capitalized increased $1.2 million to $1.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 due to the opening of centers and expansions financed during
1995 and 1996.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $0.6 million, or 10.6%, to $6.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.5 million, or 19.0%, to $3.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $3.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, or 10.5%, to $0.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased
personnel and overhead costs. 

Other expenses remained flat at $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995.

<PAGE>
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1996 to the six months ended June
30, 1995.

Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased $0.8
million to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $14.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due
to increases in revenues offset by interest on borrowings and increases in
depreciation and amortization.

Base rentals increased $4.6 million, or 21.4%, to $26.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, from $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995, due to expansions, new center openings and higher average rents.

Percentage rents increased $0.6 million to $1.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase was primarily due to increases in tenant sales, expansions at the
Company's larger centers and increases in tenants contributing percentage rents.

Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $1.7 million, or 17.7%, to $10.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from $9.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1995, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance costs at new and
expanded centers. The average recovery of reimbursable expenses was 93.6% in
1996 compared to 95.1% in 1995.

Other income increased $0.3 million to $1.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase was primarily a result of increased interest and lease termination
settlements in the 1996 period.

Interest in excess of amounts capitalized increased $2.6 million to $3.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $0.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 due to the opening of centers and expansions financed during
1995 and 1996.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $1.9 million, or 19.6%, to $11.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $9.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.6 million, or 29.2%, to $7.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to costs related to
expansions and new centers.

General and administrative expenses remained flat at $1.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. 

Other expenses increased $0.2 million to $1.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase included additional reserves for bad debts, legal fees and tenant
improvement write-offs.

In March 1996, the Company replaced its Secured Facility. Deferred financing
costs of $0.6 million, net of minority interest of $0.3 million, were expensed
in connection with the early retirement of the Secured Facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes it has adequate financial resources to fund operating
expenses, dividends and distributions, and planned development and construction
activities. Operating cash flow during 1996 is expected to increase with a full
year of operations of the 606,000 square feet of GLA added during 1995 and
scheduled openings of approximately 675,000 square feet including two new
centers and expansions in 1996. In addition, at June 30, 1996 the Company had
$50.0 million available under its Unsecured Facility, access to the public
markets through its debt ($100 million) and equity ($200 million) shelf
registrations, and cash equivalents of $6.9 million.

Operating cash flow is expected to provide sufficient funds for dividends and
distributions in accordance with REIT federal income tax requirements. In
addition, the Company anticipates retaining sufficient operating cash to fund
re-tenanting and lease renewal tenant improvement costs, as well as capital
expenditures to maintain the quality of its centers.

Dividends and distributions declared and recorded during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 were $19.7 million, or $0.575 per share or unit. The Company's
dividend payout ratio as a percentage of net income before depreciation and
amortization, minority interest and extraordinary item ("FFO") was 92.0% during
the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Unsecured Facility limits aggregate
dividends and distributions to the lesser of (i) 90% of FFO on an annual basis
or (ii) 100% of FFO for any two consecutive quarters.

In January 1996, the Company's Operating Partnership completed a $100 million
public offering of 7.75% unsecured notes due January 2001 (the "Notes"), which
are guaranteed by the Company. The five-year non-callable Notes were priced at a
discount of 99.592 to yield 7.85% to investors. Net proceeds from the offering
were used to repay substantially all borrowings under the Secured Facility.

In March 1996, the Company replaced its Secured Facility with the new $100
million Unsecured Facility. The Company had $50.0 million available for growth
and liquidity at June 30, 1996. Interest on the outstanding balance is payable
monthly at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus
1.75%, or the prime rate, at the Company's option. A fee on the unused portion
of the Unsecured Facility is payable quarterly at a rate of 0.25% per annum. The
Unsecured Facility can be increased at any time up to $200 million with the
approval of the bank group.

The Company is in the process of planning development for 1996, 1997 and beyond.
North Georgia Premium Outlets Phase I, a new project containing 292,000 square
feet of GLA, opened in May 1996. Another new center, Clinton Crossing Premium
Outlets, containing 271,000 square feet of GLA, is scheduled to open in late
August 1996, and approximately 85,000 square feet of expansions are under
construction and expected to open during the second half of 1996. The Company
anticipates development and construction costs of $80 million to $100 million
annually. Funding is currently expected from Unsecured Facility borrowings and
other available capital sources.

To achieve planned growth and favorable returns in both the short and long-term,
the Company's financing strategy is to maintain a strong, flexible financial
position by: (i) maintaining a conservative level of leverage; (ii) extending
and sequencing debt maturity dates; (iii) managing exposure to floating interest
rates; and (iv) maintaining liquidity. Management believes these strategies will
enable the Company to access a broad array of capital sources, including bank or
institutional borrowings and secured and unsecured debt and equity offerings.

It is the Company's policy to limit its borrowings to less than 40% of total
market capitalization (defined as the value of outstanding shares of common
stock on a fully diluted basis including conversion of partnership units to
common stock, plus total debt). Using a June 30, 1996 closing price of $31.75
per common share, the Company's ratio of debt to total market capitalization was
approximately 21%.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.7 million and $16.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase was primarily due to increased operations, decreases in accounts
receivable and increases in accrued interest on the Notes. Net cash used in
investing activities increased $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996 compared to 1995, primarily as a result of increased development activity.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $4.5 million primarily due
to the issuance of the Notes, offset by repayment of the Secured Facility.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Management believes that, to facilitate a clear understanding of the operating
results of the Company, FFO should be considered in conjunction with net income
as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Analysts
generally consider FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an equity real
estate investment trust. FFO is generally defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income or loss plus certain
non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization. FFO should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance
or to cash from operations under generally accepted accounting principles, and
is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

In March 1995, NAREIT issued a clarification of its definition of FFO. For
illustrative purposes, the following table presents the Company's FFO under both
methods of calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995:
