                       Report of Independent Auditors


To the Management of Macerich, Inc.  

We have audited the combined statement of revenue and certain 
expenses of South Towne Center and South Towne Marketplace ("the 
Properties") as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 
1996.  The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses is 
the responsibility of the Properties' management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined 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 
combined financial statement is free of material misstatement.  An 
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the 
amounts and disclosures made in the combined 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 combined financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses 
was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described 
in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the 
Properties' revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the combined statement of revenue and certain 
expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material 
respects, the combined revenue and certain expenses, as  described 
in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of certain significant accounting 
policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying combined 
statement of revenue and certain expenses (the "Statement"). The 
Statement is a representation of the management of South Towne 
Center and South Towne Marketplace (the "Properties"), which is 
responsible for its integrity and objectivity.  For the year ended 
December 31, 1996, South Towne Center contained approximately 
695,000 square feet and was 94% occupied.  South Towne Marketplace 
contained approximately 305,000 square feet and was 100% occupied.  
The Properties, which are shopping centers, are located in Sandy, 
Utah.

Basis of  Presentation

The Statement includes the combined revenue and certain expenses of 
the Properties.  The Statement has been prepared for the purpose of 
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, depreciation, interest and 
management fees are not presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Statement in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Business Activity
Equities Properties and Development L.P., an affiliate of the 
Properties, manages the shopping centers and, on behalf of the 
Properties, leases tenant space under noncancellable operating 
leases.  The terms of the leases vary with the tenants.  Legal fees 
of $98,000 were paid to Rosenberg & Liebentritt P.C., an affiliate 
of the Properties, related to tenant matters.

Revenue Recognition
Base rents attributable to leases are recorded when due from 
tenants and are recorded on a straight-line basis.  For the year 
ended December 31, 1996, $453,000 of base rents in excess of 
amounts billed were recognized as revenue.  Certain of the leases 
provide for additional rental revenue ("Percentage Rents") to be 
paid based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee.  These 
Percentage Rents are reflected on the accrual basis.  The leases 
also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of common area 
maintenance and other operating expenses, which are included in the 
accompanying Statement as expense reimbursements.

Development of  South Towne Marketplace
For the first nine months of 1996, South Towne Marketplace was 
under development.  The shopping center was considered 
substantially complete on September 30, 1996.  All costs, including 
real estate taxes and operating costs, were capitalized prior to 
September 30, 1996, and the accompanying Statement only includes 
the operations of South Towne Marketplace for the period from 
October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, which includes revenue of 
$523,000, expenses of $96,000 and revenues in excess of certain 
expenses of $427,000.
