                                Overview


The Company

Simon  DeBartolo  Group, Inc. (the "Company" or  "SDG")  (NYSE:SPG)  was
created  as a result of the merger (the "Merger") on August 9, 1996,  of
DeBartolo  Realty  Corporation ("DRC") into Simon Property  Group,  Inc.
("SPG").

Through its majority owned subsidiaries, Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. and
Simon  Property Group, L.P. (collectively, the "Operating Partnership"),
at  September  30,  1997, the Company owned or had an  interest  in  200
properties which consist of existing regional malls, community  shopping
centers  and specialty and mixed-use properties containing an  aggregate
of  128  million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) in 33  states.
The Company, together with its affiliated management companies, owned or
managed approximately 144 million square feet of GLA in retail and mixed-
use properties.

On  September 29, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired interests  in
12  regional malls and one community center comprising 12 million square
feet of GLA (the "RPT properties") as a result of the acquisition of The
Retail Property Trust.

This  package  was  prepared to provide (1) ownership  information,  (2)
certain  operational  information,  and  (3)   debt  information  as  of
September 30, 1997, for the Company and the Operating Partnership.

Certain statements contained in this Supplemental Package may constitute
"forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of  the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Investors are
cautioned   that   forward-looking   statements   involve   risks    and
uncertainties which may affect the business and prospects of the Company
and  the  Operating  Partnership, including the risks and  uncertainties
discussed  in  other  periodic  filings made  by  the  Company  and  the
Operating Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We  hope  you find this Supplemental Package beneficial.  Any questions,

Introduction  (David Simon)

Welcome  to our third quarter earnings conference call.  We had  another
great  quarter,  both  in  terms of our financial  performance  and  the
activity level we are seeing on a number of fronts.  What seems  to  get
lost  sometimes  when  people look at our company is  the  multitude  of
initiatives  that SDG is involved in on all aspects of our business.   I
don't  believe  there is another REIT that is capable of doing  as  many
things, creating value for their shareholders and growing their company,
as  SDG  is doing.  During today's call, we will highlight many  of  the
initiatives.   We may run just a bit longer than recent history,  but  I
believe  it is important that you understand and get a feel for all  the
great  things  that are happening with our Company.  But before  we  get
into  the  detail,  let  me  give  a quick  overview  of  third  quarter
accomplishments.

*     We  grew FFO per share 12.3%, basically all generated without  the
      benefit of our recent acquisition activity in the third quarter of 1997.
*     We  acquired  $1.4  billion real estate,  including  some  of  the
      country's best malls.
*     We opened two new projects and one significant expansion, adding
      2.5 million square feet of GLA.
*     We   raised   over  $1  billion  in  well-timed  capital   market
      transactions.

Financial and Operational Results  (Steve Sterrett)
As  you  will recall, we acquired DeBartolo last August 9th, so this  is
the last quarter that the comparison to prior year results aren't apples
to apples.  DeBartolo operations are included only after August 9, 1996.
As  the RPT acquisition  was completed  on September 29, 1997, it had no
impact  on our third quarter results.  For ease of comparison,  we  have
also   excluded   the  RPT  properties  from  all  of  our   statistical
comparisons.
1.    FFO  of  the  Operating  Partnership for the  quarter  was  $102.2
      million, an increase of 37.6% over the prior year.
2.    The  increase  on a per share basis was 12.3%, to  $0.64  a  share
      versus $0.57 in the prior year.
3.    FFO of the Operating Partnership for the nine months was $283.4
      million, an increase of 63.4% over the same period in 1996.
4.    The increase on a per share basis was 11.2%, to $1.79 as compared
      to a $1.61.

We  are  pleased  with the level of growth which was  fueled  solely  by
internal  growth.  A key element is the strong occupancy gains  in  both
the  Simon and the former DeBartolo portfolios.  Likewise, year to  date
revenue from the cart and kiosk program in the DeBartolo portfolio is up
38%  year  to  date, and should finish 1997 over $7 million  above  1996
levels.  Our total cart and kiosk program will gross over $65 million in
1997.
<PAGE> 31

In the overall portfolio:
1. Mall  occupancy at September 30 was 86%, up 1.7 percentage  points
   from one year ago.  We expect to end 1997 with at least a similar year
   over year increase.
   A.During  the third quarter of 1997, we executed leases for  over  1.1
     million square feet of space in the regional mall portfolio.
   B.Our  projected  1997 leased square footage will be in  excess  of  5
     million square feet which is 5% above our original 1997 estimates.
   C.Leasing activity has been exceptional for the year and we head  into
     1998  with  a lot of positive momentum which should bode  well  for
     continued growth in occupancy.
2. Average  base  rent  in  the regional malls as  of  September  30  was
   $21.82,  up  8.1% from 1996.  The average initial base  rent  for  new
   leases  signed  during the first nine months of 1997  was  $30.60,  an
   increase  of  $10.15  over  the tenants who  closed  or  whose  leases
   expired.   Both  of  these  numbers have  been  skewed  by  the  newly
   acquired  Dadeland Mall and the openings of The Forum  Shops  and  The
   Source.
3. Excluding  Dadeland, The Forum Shops and The Source, our average  base
   rent  was $21.44, which is still a healthy increase of 6.2%,  and  the
   leasing spread was $2.85.
4. Sales  volume in the regional malls was $4.5 billion, up  5.3  %  from
   the third quarter of 1996.
5. In  the  regional  mall portfolio, total sales per square  foot  on  a
   rolling  12-month basis, increased 5.8% for the period ended September
   30th,  and  comparable  sales per foot were up 3.4%.   Our  comparable
   sales are now tracking at $307 per square foot.

In  the community center portfolio, occupancy increased 100 basis points
from a year ago, to 93.1%.  Average base rent was $7.78 at September 30,
up 3.9% from $7.49 in 1996.

We  are very pleased with the overall results for the quarter, which are
in line with the "street" expectations, and we remain on target with our
plan to meet expectations for the fourth quarter and the year.

One  further  note  before  I  turn it  over  to  Rick  to  discuss  our
development  activities.   Last week, we received  a  favorable  summary
judgment  in  the litigation brought against us by the group  of  former
DeBartolo employees.  While the employee group may obviously appeal  the
verdict,  this  judgment reinforces our belief that no material  adverse
impact will come to the Company as a result of this lawsuit.

Development Activity  (Rick Sokolov)

We  had  a  very  productive  third quarter.   During  this  quarter  we
celebrated  the  Grand Re-Opening of The Forum Shops at Caesars  in  Las
Vegas and the Grand Opening of The Source in Westbury, Long Island.   We
also opened Grapevine Mills last week.

The Forum Shops
The  Forum  Shops, as you know, is one of the country's  premier  retail
centers  with  sales in excess of $1300 per square foot.  The  expansion
opened  on  August 29th and includes premier tenants such  as  NIKETOWN,
Cheesecake Factory, and the world's largest FAO Schwarz.

The Source
The  Source opened on September 5th.  This is a unique project where  we
filled  a market niche using one of the best demographic markets in  the
United States.  We have a mix of value-oriented quality tenants such  as
Nordstrom  Rack, Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, ABC Home  Store,  ABC
Carpet  Store,  plus our entertainment and restaurant  tenants  such  as
Rainforest  Cafe,  Cheesecake Factory, Bertolini's and  Brooklyn  Diner.
Tenants'  expectations have been exceeded with respect to  both  traffic
and sales volume.  The center is currently 90% leased and committed.

Grapevine Mills
Grapevine  Mills opened last Thursday, October 30th.  Sales and  traffic
were  well in excess of projections with over 600,000 shoppers over  the
weekend.  The center is over 91% leased.

Other New Developments
Arizona Mills
We are opening Arizona Mills, in Tempe, Arizona, on November 20th.  This
1.2 million square foot regional mall Mills project is 92% leased.

Shops at Sunset Place
We  are currently under construction on the Shops at Sunset Place  which
is   opening  October  1998  in  South  Miami,  Florida.   This  is   an
entertainment  specialty  center that  will  feature  NIKETOWN,  AMC  24
Theatre, Barnes & Noble,
<PAGE> 33
IMAX Theatre, Z Gallerie, GameWorks, and Virgin Megastore.  The center is
not opening for another year, yet it's already over 84% leased and committed.

Muncie Plaza and Lakeline Plaza
We  have  two power centers under construction.  Muncie Plaza in Muncie,
Indiana  is located adjacent to our redeveloped Muncie Mall.  The  other
power  center  is Lakeline Plaza, which is also adjacent  to  our  newly
opened Lakeline Mall, in Austin, Texas.

Redevelopment Activity

With  respect  to the redevelopment activity, our program  continues  to
gain momentum.  We have 28 malls where construction is underway, and  27
of these 28 projects will open prior to December 31, 1998.

A  full recap of development and redevelopment activity will be included
in our third quarter 8-K.  We will discuss three of our most significant
projects.

Aventura Mall
Aventura   Mall   located  in  Miami,  Florida,  is  opening   the   new
Bloomingdale's this week.  When the expansion is complete, including the
addition of Burdine's, a new AMC Theatre, and small shop and four anchor
expansions,  sales will be in excess of $725 million.  Currently,  sales
are over $550 per square foot.

Florida Mall
At Florida Mall in Orlando, Florida, we are adding Burdine's.  This is a
center  doing over $560 per square foot and will, when the expansion  is
complete, have sales in excess $700 million.

Prien Lake Mall
We  are  adding Dillards, Sears and renovating and expanding Prien  Lake
Mall, in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  The renovation and expansion will  be
complete  in  November 1998.  Sales volume of the center is expected  to
double.

Coming attractions
We  are going to start next year on our expansions of Mission Viejo  and
North  East Mall.  We are adding Nordstrom, additional small shop  space
and additional department stores at both centers.  We have announced the
800,000
<PAGE> 34

square foot expansion of the newly acquired Dadeland Mall with a
planned  1998  start  construction.   We  are  very  excited  about  the
redevelopment  program, and it is producing the anticipated  results  of
double digit returns, which is our hurdle for doing capital projects.

Acquisitions and Dispositions  (David Simon)
At  the  beginning of the year, we told you that we expected to complete
anywhere  between  $500 million to $1 billion worth of  acquisitions  in
1997.   Through  September 30th of this year, we  have  completed  three
acquisitions totaling $1.4 billion:
     1. RPT Portfolio Acquisition
     2. 50% interest in Dadeland Mall, and
     3. An additional 48% interest in West Town Mall.
     
I  would like to take a few minutes to briefly walk you through the  RPT
transaction.  The cost of the transaction was $1.2 billion.  The initial
cap rate before applying the Simon initiatives was 8.1%.

This portfolio of twelve regional malls and one community center is over
90%  occupied  and generates annual sales in excess of $330  per  square
foot.  These centers have been continually invested in, and as a result,
very little incremental capital is required.

The   majority  of  the  properties  acquired  are  located   in   major
metropolitan  markets  such  as  New York,  Chicago,  Los  Angeles,  and
Pittsburgh,  which provides a great fit for SDG.  As we have  begun  the
transition of our management responsibilities of the assets, we continue
to be very excited about this transaction.

We have also reached an agreement in principle that would acquire one of
our  partner's interest in one of the portfolio properties.   We  expect
this to add to the transaction and look to close by year end.

We  continue to believe that the positive FFO impact in its  first  year
will more than $.05 per share.

Tiering Effect
Through our acquisition activities, we have upgraded our portfolio  with
the  addition  of  several  highly productive assets  located  in  major
metropolitan  markets.   Over  one-third  of  our  regional  malls   and
specialty centers are located in the 20 largest metropolitan markets  in
the  United States.  Our top 33 malls generate nearly 40% of EBITDA, are
<PAGE> 35
93%  occupied  and  generate  sales of $384 per  square  foot,  probably
comprising  the top group of properties of any other retail  or  private
retail  ownership.   The  top half of our malls  and  specialty  centers
generate  two-thirds of our EBITDA, and also generate $342 in sales  per
square foot and are 92% occupied.

As  we  continue to transform our Company from beyond just retail  real-
estate   into  marketing  and  promotional  initiatives,  our   upgraded
portfolio with major dominant assets will help us fuel that effort.

Dispositions
We  continue to make progress on our dispositions and have a major sales
transaction in the works which we hope to close by year-end.  We  expect
overall  to  step up that effort given the availability of  capital  out
there.   I think we will shed more light on that over the next 30  days.
We  also  believe  the  supply and demand of transactions  available  is
moving  in  our  favor.   There seems to be a number  of  portfolios  or
individual  assets out there that are for sale.  We expect, contrary  to
what  people are hearing, the pricing levels, in terms of the cap  rates
not  to  go  down; but to remain where they are and in fact increase  in
supply  and  demand.  I think the available acquirers of many  of  these
assets  is getting narrower and narrower, which will move to our benefit
as well.

Simon Brand Ventures  (Karen Corsaro)
I  am  happy to report that Simon Brand Ventures is growing rapidly  and
also pleased that the kinds of acquisitions that we are doing add to the
value  that  Simon Brand Ventures can deliver to SDG.  You  will  recall
that SBV, Simon Brand Ventures, was based on the notion that we have 100
million shoppers coming from a trade area that includes about 28 million
households.  And that we serve 17,000 retailers who employ more  than  1
million people.

Simon  Brand Ventures is a major national marketing initiative meant  to
tap these various audiences.  The flagship for our program is MallPerks.
It  is  the only national mall shopper loyalty program, and it continues
to  grow at a pace of about 15,000 members per week; which should easily
put us at more than a million members by the end of this year.

There  are  several key initiatives that we will be announcing  shortly.
One   which   we  just  confirmed  yesterday  with  Resorts  Condominium
International  will  make  all of their 1.2  million  members  MallPerks
members.   This  came as a result of a pilot program that  we  undertook
recently with RCI, where they created offers that were included  in  the
MallPerks  packet of offers and within a three week period received  440
calls  related to time share vacations and purchases.  So the  kinds  of
pilots  that  we  are  doing are working very nicely  and  are  bringing
additional  partnerships to us and should, over the  long  term,  create
great value for our customer as well.
<PAGE> 36
The  VISA  alliance is working well.  In a period of about  a  month  we
distributed  1.3  million VISA rewards game pieces  in  our  properties.
This  is part of an NFL promotion.  This went so exceptionally well that
the  NFL  has  selected  Simon  DeBartolo to  enhance  and  expand  this
relationship  in 1998.  We are meeting with them next week to  determine
exactly  how that will work.  VISA has also chosen to invest  additional
dollars in our tourism and international efforts that are used to market
properties  like The Forum Shops and Dadeland Mall, which allows  us  to
bring  great value to these properties plus drive business on  the  VISA
card internationally and within our properties.

We  have  launched the credit card through our portfolio that is  called
the  Mall  VIP  VISA,  and  the  card so far  is  attracting  a  younger
demographic and has been most successful in the more urban markets.   It
is  moving a little bit more slowly in some of the less urban areas.  We
are  encouraged by the kind of interest we see from the consumer in this
card,  but we feel that is going to be a marathon not a sprint in  order
to  convince  people that they need another credit card.  So  far  Simon
leads  the  alliance with the most cards acquired to date,  and  we  are
hoping to see the program continue to grow.

We  are  very  excited about our ATM business.  This is  our  electronic
concierge  network.  We currently have 200 machines in place  throughout
the portfolio and will easily meet our goal for 300 machines in place in
1998.   Just this month, in fact a few days ago, we began to  pilot  the
alternative media products including gift certificates and phone  cards.
Assuming all this technology works as we want it to, next month we  will
launch  into  a larger group, which will include the state  of  Florida,
with  those products.  In addition, we have secured interest  from  many
national  advertisers  who are looking forward  to  using  this  network
throughout our portfolio and will announce a deal shortly with  a  major
national brand who will introduce a new product on our network system in
a completely unique way that has never been done before with ATM.

In  our relationship with SmarTalk, which is the fastest growing prepaid
phone card company, we have 260 SmarTalk vending machines in roll out as
we   speak  and  will  be  fully  operational  with  that  business   by
Thanksgiving.  In addition, we have been able to negotiate  added  value
from SmarTalk in that they are providing us with 8,000 Santa story cards
free  to  be  provided to our shoppers simply as a thank  you  gift  for
shopping at Simon properties.  We intend to use these both as a  welcome
and thank you gift.  In addition, we hope to use them as a MallPerks and
Mall VIP Credit card sign up incentive.

The  Shopping  Line,  which  is our automated  phone  answering  system,
continues  to  grow  and we are almost at full roll out  throughout  the
portfolio.   We  are  still expecting an annualized  rate  of  about  12
million  calls  network-wide,
<PAGE> 37
and we will begin  marketing  this  system throughout the portfolio once
it is network-wide in 1998.  We have pilot programs in place with HFS and
CUC to test travel offers on the  system and so far that is looking very
hopeful.
The  sponsorship category has been extremely active, and we are  in  the
documentation phase of three significant initiatives with three  of  the
top  brands  in  the country.  Those initiatives will all  be  announced
before  the  end of this year.  The sponsors are most attracted  by  the
fact  that we are the only developer that is able to couple both a  very
large  and  growing  traffic  stream with  secure,  dependable  national
marketing  programs  like  MallPerks and  The  Savingtimes.   And  these
programs  are  delivering  value to us uniquely  as  compared  to  other
developers.

These  deals along with the continued growth of the initiatives we  have
in  place continue to confirm that we will deliver $8 to $10 million  in
net revenues in 1997 and a minimum of $20 to $25 million in 1998.

Joint Venture Activities  (David Simon)

As we look at the company in general, I think we have three major thrust
areas of growth.  One is obviously the development and redevelopment  of
existing and new products and that effort is going very well.   We  also
believe  that we will be the leader in the consolidation of our business
which  will fuel our growth opportunities.  And the third area  that  we
are  very  excited about to fuel our growth as well is in the SBV  area.
However,  we  do think that there are other opportunities  beyond  those
three  major platforms that will add to our growth and that  is  why  we
have  chosen  to  do  strategic joint ventures.  Let  me  make  a  brief
statement as to where we stand on those.

DLJ
As  many of you saw Tuesday, we announced the formation of a partnership
with   DLJ   Real  Estate  Capital  Partners  to  acquire  and   develop
entertainment-oriented real estate projects.

We  are  excited about the prospects for this venture, which will  focus
primarily on smaller projects, such as theater, restaurant and lifestyle
complexes, that might otherwise fall below the SDG radar screen as  well
as other financing type projects that we will be able to participate in.
Our  initial conversations with developers, owners and operators in this
area have been very exciting, and we would expect to begin acquiring and
developing product beginning this year and in 1998.  I expect our equity
commitment  in the next year or so to be approximately $100 million  and
that will be invested as the product comes on screen.
<PAGE> 38

Chelsea
We  have announced our first project with Chelsea in Houston and  had  a
very productive meeting yesterday going over various sites.  We are very
excited about this relationship and the prospects that it will have  for
future growth opportunities.  The reputation and relationships that they
have  in  the  business coupled with our overall retail strength  should
lead to some very interesting product.

Mills
The Mills relationship continues to be very gratifying.  Grapevine Mills
is  turning out to be a terrific center, and Ontario Mills continues  to
perform  well.  We have Arizona Mills opening this month, and Charlotte,
where  we  expect to begin construction in 1998 for a 1999 opening.   We
are working on various other deals.

We  will  expect to continue to do strategic joint ventures  which  will
allow us to leverage our reputation and position in the industry and  at
the  same  time not take our eye off the ball in our three major  growth
fundamentals  which  is  development, redevelopment,  consolidating  our
industry and the various Simon Brand Venture activities.

Financing Activity  (Steve Sterrett)
We  have  been  extremely busy in the capital markets and completed  the
following major transactions during the quarter totaling $1 billion.
1.  September 2 - Completed the refinancing of the former DeBartolo  CMBS,
    which  resulted  in  the release of mortgages encumbering  18  of  the
    portfolio properties and added $5 million a year of cash flow.
2.  September  10  -  Completed the sale of $180 million of  Medium  -Term
    Notes.   The  10  year notes were priced at the then 10 year  treasury
    rate plus 86 basis points, which equates to 7.125%.
3.  September  16  - Issued $25 million of common stock to  Smith  Barney,
    Inc.  for  inclusion  in  their Equity Focus  Trusts  -REIT  Portfolio
    Series.
4.  September  19 - Issued 4.5 million share common offering which  raised
    a net of $147 million.
5.  September  26  -  Obtained  an additional unsecured  revolving  credit
    facility  in the amount of $500 million.  The new credit facility  has
    the  same  terms as the existing facility which is a base volume  rate
    of  75  over  LIBOR.  It was used primarily to fund a portion  of  the
    cost of the RPT acquisition.
6.  October  17 - We have finalized a mortgage for West Town Mall  of  $76
    million which bears interest at 6.9%.
7.  October  27  -  Completed a $150 million offering of 8-year  unsecured
    notes  which  pay  interest at 6.875%.  The notes were  priced  at  83
    basis  points  over the 8-year treasury.  We effectively  reduced  the
    borrowing  cost  by  12 basis points through an  interest  rate  hedge
    agreement that we had in place.
<PAGE> 39

We  will continue to be very active on the capital frontier this quarter
and  early into 1998.  We expect to make further progress on our balance
sheet to bring it more in line with our target capital structure.   With
all  of our capital activities, we are currently at a pace to have  $350
million in unencumbered EBITDA by year end 1997.  And we expect to be in
a  position to announce within the next couple of weeks a rework of  our
credit facility which will further improve our pricing in terms.

Summary  (David Simon)
As you have heard, it was an extremely busy and gratifying quarter.  But
that's  business as usual for us.  Whether it's growing our  FFO  double
digits,  aggressively  acquiring great  assets,  building  exciting  new
projects,  enhancing  our  market dominant existing  portfolio,  forging
strategic alliances, creating an entirely new set of revenue streams  or
aggressively  managing our balance sheet, we continue to be  focused  on
growing our company profitably and enhancing shareholder value.
