                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
JP Realty, Inc. and the Partners of
Price Development Company, Limited Partnership

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

      The accompanying historical statement was prepared on the basis described
in Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the current report on Form
8-K of JP Realty, Inc. and Price Development Company, Limited Partnership)  and
is  not  intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of
Salem Center.

      In our  opinion,  the  historical  statement  referred  to above presents
fairly,  in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses  of  Salem
Center, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year ended December 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

1.   OPERATION OF PROPERTY

     The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses relate to the
operations  of  Salem  Center  (the  "Property") located in Salem, Oregon.  The
Property  was opened in 1980.  On December  30,  1997,  JP  Realty,  Inc.  (the
"Company")   through   its   subsidiary   Price  Development  Company,  Limited
Partnership,  (the  "Operating  Partnership")   acquired   the   Property   for
$32,500,000.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  statements  of  revenues and certain expenses have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

     The  accompanying  statements  are  not   representative   of  the  actual
operations  for  the period presented, as certain revenues and expenses,  which
may not be comparable  to the revenues and expenses to be earned or incurred by
the Company in the future  operations  of  the  Property,  have  been excluded.
Revenues  excluded  consist  of  interest and other revenues unrelated  to  the
continuing operations of the Property.   Expenses excluded consist of interest,
depreciation of building and improvements,  amortization of deferred costs, and
other  general  and administrative costs not directly  related  to  the  future
operations of the Property.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation  of these statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles required  management  to  make  estimates and assumptions
that  affect the reported amounts of revenue and certain  expenses  during  the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

INCOME RECOGNITION

     Minimum  rents  are  recognized using the straight-line basis.  Percentage
rent revenues are considered  earned  when  tenant's  sales  exceed the minimum
annual  sales  volume  required  for percentage rent under terms of  the  lease
agreement.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The interim financial data for  the  nine month period ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim
data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair statement of the results  for  the  interim  periods.  The
results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the full year.

      On  April  4,  1996,  the  Operating Partnership acquired the Grand Teton
Mall.  On January 28, 1997, the Company  sold  1,500,000 shares of common stock
in an underwritten public offering at an offering  price  of $27.125 per share.
Net  proceeds  to  the  Company totaled $38,600,000 and were used  to  purchase
additional interests in the  Operating  Partnership.  The Operating Partnership
used the proceeds to reduce borrowings outstanding under the $50,000,000 credit
facility.  On  June 1, 1997, the Operating  Partnership  acquired the remaining
70  percent  interest  in  Silver  Lake  Mall  through the issuance  of  72,000
Operating  Partnership  Units  ("OP  Units")  valued   at  $1,863,000  and  the
assumption  of  debt  totaling  $24,755,000.  On June 30, 1997,  the  Operating
Partnership acquired Visalia Mall  for  $38,000,000,  utilizing  $37,000,000 in
borrowings  under  an  existing  credit  facility  and $1,000,000 in cash.   On
December  30, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired  the  Salem  Center  for
$32,500,000, utilizing borrowings from the Operating Partnership's $200,000,000
unsecured credit  facility.   The  unaudited  pro  forma condensed statement of
operations for the nine month period ended September  30,  1997 is presented as
if  the  public  offering  of  common stock, the acquisition of the  properties
purchased on June 1, 1997, June  30, 1997 and December 30, 1997 had occurred on
January 1, 1997.  The unaudited proforma  condensed statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1996, is presented  as  if  the  public offering of
common  stock,  the acquisition of the properties purchased on April  4,  1996,
June 1, 1997, June  30,  1997  and December 30, 1997 had occurred on January 1,
1996.

Pro forma information is based upon  the  historical  consolidated  results  of
operations  of  the  Company for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
and for the year ended  December  31,  1996,  giving effect to the transactions
described above.  The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
should be read in conjunction with the pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet of the Company presented herein and the historical  financial  statements
and notes thereto of the Company included in the JP Realty, Inc. Forms 10-K and

would  have been assuming the transactions had  been  completed  as  set  forth
above, nor does it purport to represent the Company's results of operations for

</TABLE>

      (1)Reflects interest expense on $78,500 outstanding under  the  revolving
         credit  facilities,  drawn  for  purpose  of  the  acquisitions of the
         properties,  at  a  rate equal to the average interest  rate  incurred
         under the credit facilities,  and  interest on $12,997 of assumed debt
         at 8.5% fixed rate.  A change in the  interest  rate  of  1/8%  on the
         credit  facilities  used  to finance the acquisition of the properties
         would result in $74 interest expense increase or decrease for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1997.

         Interest expense is reduced  by using the $38,600 in net proceeds from
         the January 28, 1997 common stock offering.  The proceeds were used to
         retire borrowings outstanding  on  the Operating Partnership's $50,000
         credit facility.

      (2)Reflects depreciation on $83,627 of  the  purchase  price allocated to
         buildings, over a 40-year useful life.

(C)   Adjustment  reflects  a  reduction  in  outside management fees  for  the
      Operating Partnership received for management  services  of  Silver  Lake
      Mall prior to the acquisition.

(D)   Based  upon 17,381,000 shares of Common Stock and 200,000 shares of Price
      Group stock  outstanding.  The number of shares assumed to be outstanding
      include the 1,500,000  shares  sold  in  the  January  28, 1997 offering.
      Earnings per share will be unaffected by partners who elect  to  exchange
      OP  Units  in the operating partnership on a one-for-one basis for common
      stock  of  the  Company,  as  holders  of  such  Units  and  stockholders
      effectively share equally in the net income of the Operating Partnership.
