              PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The accompanying financial statements prepared by the management of
SPG Properties, Inc. ("SPG Properties") present the pro forma
consolidated condensed Statements of Operations of SPG Properties and
subsidiary for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and for the
year ended December 31, 1997.  SPG Properties, formerly Simon DeBartolo
Group, Inc. ("SDG"), is a substantially wholly owned subsidiary of Simon
Property Group, Inc. ("SPG").  No pro forma balance sheet is required
because the merger and related transactions and the Other Property
Transactions described below were reflected in SPG Properties' unaudited
interim balance sheet included in SPG Properties' quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 1998.  SPG Properties and
subsidiary's operating results are derived from its partnership
interests in Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").
SPG Properties' noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is
accounted for using the equity method.  Also attached are pro forma
consolidated condensed Statements of Operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997, of the
Operating Partnership, SPG Properties' equity method investee.

     The pro forma consolidated condensed Statements of Operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and for the year ended December
31, 1997, are presented as if (i) the Corporate Property Investors,
Inc.("CPI") Merger and related transactions which were consummated for
financial reporting purposes as of the close of business on September
24, 1998, (ii) the September and November 1997 transactions by SDG to
acquire ten portfolio properties and a 50% ownership interest in an
eleventh  property of The Retail Property Trust,  ("RPT"), (iii) the
December 1997 acquisition by SDG of the Fashion Mall at Keystone at the
Crossing,  (iv) the January 1998 acquisition by CPI of Phipps Plaza,
(v) the January 1998 sale by CPI of Burnsville Mall, (vi) the January
1998 acquisition by SDG of Cordova Mall, (vii) the February 1998
acquisition by SDG of a 50% interest in a portfolio of twelve regional
malls and (viii) the sale by CPI of the General Motors Building had
occurred as of January 1, 1997, (items (ii) through (vii) collectively,
the "Other Property Transactions").

     Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on
assumptions deemed appropriate by management.  These assumptions give
effect to the CPI Merger being accounted for as a reverse purchase in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, resulting in
the assets and liabilities transferred to the Operating Partnership
being reflected at fair value. The cash contributed by the Operating
Partnership on behalf of its partners to Corporate Realty Consultants,
Inc. ("CRC") and the newly formed CRC operating partnership was
accounted for as a distribution. The pro forma financial information has
been updated to reflect revised assumptions based upon the completion of
the CPI Merger and related transactions in September 1998.  The pro
forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results
which actually would have occurred if the transactions had been
consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it
purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. The
pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of SPG Properties, SDG, the Operating Partnership,
and CPI.

SPG Properties, Inc. and Simon Property Group, L.P. - Notes and
Management's Assumptions to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed
Statements of Operations (dollars in thousands)

1. Basis of Presentation

     Prior to the CPI Merger described below, Simon DeBartolo Group,
Inc. ("SDG"), now SPG Properties, Inc.("SPG Properties"), held a
controlling partnership interest in Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership"), now Simon Property Group, L.P.   SDG also held
preferred interest and therefore is entitled to preferred distributions
from, the Operating Partnership of 8.75% and 7.89%, respectively, on the
8,000,000 $25 par value Series B preferred units and 3,000,000 $50 par
value Series C preferred units.  The Operating Partnership is engaged
primarily in the ownership, development, management, leasing,
acquisition and expansion of income-producing properties, primarily
regional malls and community shopping centers.

     In February 1998, SDG, CPI and CRC entered into the Merger
Agreement, which provided for the merger of a substantially wholly-owned
subsidiary of CPI with and into SDG.  CPI is a self-administered and
self-managed privately held REIT which invests in income-producing
properties. As of the CPI Merger date, CPI owned or held interests in 26
properties, 23 shopping centers, one community center and two office
buildings. CRC was engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition and
development of income producing properties directly or through interests
in joint ventures and other non-REIT qualifying activities.

     Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 18,
1998, among Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG"), Corporate Property
Investors, Inc. ("CPI"), and Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc. ("CRC"),
the CPI Merger and related transactions  were consummated for financial
reporting purposes, as of the close of business on September 24, 1998.
SPG Merger Sub, Inc., a substantially wholly-owned subsidiary of CPI,
merged with and into SDG with SDG continuing as the surviving company.
Legally, SDG became a majority-owned subsidiary of CPI.  The outstanding
shares of common stock of SDG were exchanged for a like number of shares
of CPI. The Operating Partnership contributed $22 million in cash to CRC
and the newly formed SRC Operating Partnership on behalf of the SDG
stockholders and the limited partners of SDG, LP for beneficial
interests in CRC in order to pair the common stock of CPI with 1/100th
of a share of common stock of CRC  and to obtain units in the SRC
Operating Partnership in order that the limited partners of the
Operating Partnership will hold the same proportionate interest in the
SRC Operating Partnership as they hold in the Operating Partnership.

     Immediately prior to the consummation of the CPI Merger, the
holders of CPI common stock were paid a merger dividend consisting of
(i) $90 in cash, (ii) 1.0818 additional shares of CPI common stock and
(iii) 0.19 shares of 6.50% Series B convertible preferred stock of CPI.
Each share of the 6.5% $100 par value Series B convertible preferred
stock is convertible into 2.586 shares of SPG common stock. Immediately
prior to the CPI Merger, there were 25,496,476 shares of CPI common
stock outstanding.  The aggregate value associated with the completion
of the CPI Merger is approximately $5.9 billion including transaction
costs and liabilities assumed.  The purchase price includes 209,249
shares of 6.5% $1,000 par value of Series A convertible preferred stock
previously issued by CPI which remained outstanding following the CPI
Merger.  Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is
convertible into 37.995 shares of SPG common stock.

     To finance the cash portion of the CPI Merger consideration, $1.4
billion was borrowed under a new senior unsecured medium term bridge
loan (the "CPI Merger Facility"), which bears interest at a base rate of
LIBOR plus 65 basis points and matures in three mandatory amortization
payments (on June 22, 1999, March 24, 2000 and September 24, 2000).  An
additional $236,100 was also borrowed under the Operating Partnership's
existing $1.25 billion credit facility.  In connection with the CPI
Merger, CPI was renamed `Simon Property Group, Inc.'  CPI's paired share
affiliate, Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc., was renamed `SPG Realty
Consultants, Inc.' ("SRC").  In addition SDG and SDG, LP were renamed
`SPG Properties, Inc.', and `Simon Property Group, L.P.', respectively.

     Upon completion of the CPI Merger, SPG transferred substantially
all of the CPI assets acquired, which consisted primarily of 23 regional
malls, one community center, two office buildings and one regional mall
under construction (other than one regional mall, Ocean County Mall, and
certain net leased properties valued at approximately $153.1 million)
net of liabilities assumed (SPG remains a co-obligor with respect to the
CPI Merger Facility) of approximately $2.3 billion to the Operating
Partnership or one or more subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership in
exchange for 47,790,550 limited partnership interests and 5,053,580
preferred partnership interests in the Operating Partnership.  The
preferred partnership interests carry the same rights and equal the
number of preferred shares issued and outstanding as a direct result of
the CPI Merger.  Likewise, the assets of SRC were transferred to the SRC
Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership interests.

     As a result of the CPI Merger and related transactions, the common
stockholders of SPG own a share of common stock of SPG and a beneficial
interest in SRC.  The beneficial interest in SRC are stapled to a share
of SPG.  Accordingly, a share of SPG cannot be transferred without a
corresponding transfer of the beneficial interest in SRC. SPG and SRC
operate as a paired-share REIT structure for income tax purposes.

     SPG and SRC (together, the "Company") own directly and indirectly a
managing general partnership interest of 71.6% in the operating
partnerships as of September 30, 1998.  As of September 30, 1998, the
Company owned or held a consolidated interest in 241 income-producing
properties, which consisted of 153 regional malls, 76 community shopping
centers, three specialty retail centers, six office and mixed-use
properties and three value-oriented regional malls in 35 states.

     SPG Properties held a noncontrolling 50.4% general partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 1998.  SPG
Properties' ownership interest is included in the percentage interest
held by the Company described above.
     
     The Company accounted for the merger between SDG and the CPI merger
subsidiary as a reverse purchase in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16.  Although paired shares of the former
CPI and CRC were issued to SDG common stock holders and SDG became a
substantially wholly owned subsidiary of CPI following the CPI Merger,
CPI is considered the business acquired for accounting purposes.  SDG is
the acquiring company because the SDG common stockholders hold a
majority of the common stock of the Company post-merger.  The value of
the consideration paid by SDG has been allocated on a preliminary basis
to the estimated fair value of the CPI assets acquired and liabilities
assumed which resulted in goodwill of $62,227.  Goodwill will be
amortized over the estimated life of the properties of 35 years. The
allocation of the purchase will be finalized when the Operating
Partnership completes its evaluation of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed and finalizes its operating plan.

     The Operating Partnership contributed cash to CRC and the SRC
Operating Partnership on behalf of the SDG common stockholders and the
limited partners of SDG, LP to obtain the beneficial interests in CRC,
which were paired with the shares of common stock issued by the Company,
and to obtain units of ownership interest ("Units") in the SRC Operating
Partnership so that the limited partners of the Operating Partnership
would hold the same proportionate interest in the SRC Operating
Partnership that they hold in the Operating Partnership. The cash
contributed on behalf of its partners was accounted for as a
distribution by the Operating Partnership. The cash contributed to CRC
and the SRC Operating Partnership in exchange for an ownership interest
therein have been appropriately accounted for as capital infusion or
equity transactions.  The assets and liabilities of CRC have been
reflected at historical cost. Adjusting said assets and liabilities to
fair value would only have been appropriate if the SDG stockholders'
beneficial interests in CRC exceeded 80%.

     As a result of the CPI Merger, SPG Properties became a
noncontrolling general partner in the Operating Partnership and,
accordingly, as of the merger date, began accounting for its
noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership using the equity
method.  Prior to the CPI Merger, SDG, now SPG Properties, accounted for
its then controlling interest in the Operating Partnership using the
consolidated method of accounting.

     In addition to the CPI Merger Dividends and the Merger, the
following transactions (the "Other Property Transactions") have been
reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma Statements of
Operations using the purchase method of accounting. Investments in
non-controlled joint ventures are reflected using the equity method.
Controlled properties have been consolidated.

          *    On September 29, 1997, SDG completed its cash tender offer for
          all of the outstanding shares of beneficial interests of The Retail
          Property Trust ("RPT").  In connection therewith, RPT became a
          subsidiary of the Operating Partnership.  RPT owned 98.8% of
          Shopping Center Associates ("SCA"), which owned or had interests in
          twelve regional malls and one community shopping center.  Following
          the completion of the tender offer, the SCA portfolio was
          restructured.  SDG exchanged its 50% interest in two SCA properties 
          with a third party for similar interests in two other SCA properties, 
          in which SDG had 50% interests, with the result that SCA now owns 
          interest in a total of eleven properties. Effective November 30, 1997,
          SDG also acquired the remaining interest in another of the SCA 
          properties.  In addition, SDG acquired the remaining 1.2% interest 
          in SCA.  At the completion of these transactions, SDG held
          a 100% interest in ten of the eleven properties, and a noncontrolling
          50% ownership interest in the remaining property.  The total cost for
          the acquisition of RPT and related transactions was approximately
          $1,300,000, which includes SDG common stock issued  valued  at
          approximately $50,000, units of the Operating Partnership valued at
          approximately $25,300, and the assumption of consolidated debt and 
          SDG's pro rata share of joint venture indebtedness of approximately 
          $475,300. The balance of the transaction costs was borrowed under the
          Operating Partnership's credit facility.
          
          *    On  December 29, 1997, the Operating Partnership completed the
          acquisition of the Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing, a 
          regional mall located in Indianapolis, Indiana, for $124,500.  The 
          purchase price was financed by additional borrowings under the 
          Operating Partnership's credit facility of approximately $59,700 and
          the assumption of approximately $64,800 in mortgage debt.  The 
          mortgage debt bears interest at 7.85%.

          *    In January 1998, CPI acquired Phipps Plaza, a super
          regional mall located in Atlanta, Georgia, for approximately
          $198,800. The transaction was financed with cash of $158,800
          and debt of $40,000.

          *    In January 1998, CPI sold one of its shopping centers
          (Burnsville Mall) for $80,672 cash. The selling price exceeded
          Burnsville Mall's historical net assets of $37,581 at
          December 31, 1997, by $43,091. A portion ($40,000) of the
          proceeds received in the Burnsville transaction was used to
          repay the amount borrowed in connection with the acquisition
          of Phipps Plaza.

          *    In January 1998, SDG acquired Cordova Mall, a regional
          mall in Pensacola, Florida, for $94,000. This acquisition was
          financed by issuing units of the Operating Partnership valued
          at $55,523, the assumption of mortgage debt of $28,935 and
          other liabilities of $6,842 and cash of $2,700. The mortgage
          debt, which bore interest at 12.125%, has been refinanced
          through the Operating Partnership's credit facility.

          *    In February 1998, SDG, through a joint venture with
          another REIT, acquired an interest in a portfolio of twelve
          regional malls comprising approximately 10.7 million square
          feet of GLA. SDG's non-controlling 50% share of the total
          purchase price of $487,250 was financed with a $242,000
          unsecured loan which bears interest at 6.4% per annum, accrued
          payables of $2,750 and the assumption of $242,500 of mortgage
          debt. The weighted average interest rate on the mortgage debt
          assumed was 6.94%.

          *    In July 1998, CPI sold the General Motors Building for $800,000.
          The net proceeds of $798,000 were used to pay off the building's
          mortgage balance ($10,706) with the remainder available to partially
          finance a portion of the CPI Merger Dividends.  CPI paid a commission
          to SDG totaling $2.5 million for services rendered by SDG in 
          connection with the sale of the General Motors Building.  This 
          commission has not been reflected in the accompanying pro forma 
          financial information.

     The accompanying pro forma consolidated condensed Statements of
Operations are presented as if the CPI Merger Dividends, the CPI Merger
and related transactions and the Other Property Transactions previously
described had occurred on January 1, 1997.

     These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of SDG, LP.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of the CPI Merger and related transactions and the Other
Property Transactions previously described have been made. Certain
adjustments have been estimated based on information currently
available. Final adjustments are not expected to materially impact the
pro forma results reported.

     The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative
of the actual results of operations for the period ended September 30,
1998, or December 31, 1997, or what the actual results of operations
would have been assuming the Merger and the Other Property Transactions
had been completed as of January 1, 1997, nor are they indicative of the
results of operations for future periods.


2.    Pro  forma  Adjustments  to  Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Operations

              In connection with the CPI Merger, CPI incurred $83,019
of merger-related expenses which have been excluded from the Pro Forma
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. Further, the gain of
$198,891 related to the sale of the General
Motors Building has been excluded from the unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

  (I)   Other Property Transactions represent the historical operating
    results of the properties
      for  the appropriate period to reflect a full year of activities
in the unaudited pro forma

debt incurred to finance
          the transactions

results incurred by the seller
          directly related to the transaction

      (4)  The elimination of the historical results to reflect the sale
of Burnsville Mall

     The Other Property Transactions include:

          (5)   The September and November 1997 transactions by SDG to
          acquire ten portfolio properties and a 50% ownership interest
          in an eleventh property of The Retail Property Trust,
          ("RPT")

      (6)   The  December 1997 acquisition by SDG of the  Fashion  Mall  at

  (J)  The pro forma weighted average
          equivalent units is computed as follows:

  Historical  Weighted  Average  units  outstanding   176,752,302    161,022,887

  Pro forma adjustments:

  Units issued related to the acquisition of
   Cordova  Mall                                          138,045      1,713,016

   Pro  forma  weighted  average equivalent  units    223,630,555    212,690,398

     The diluted pro forma weighted average
     equivalent units for the nine month period
     ended September 30, 1998 and for the year
     ended December 31, 1997 were 223,999,001
     and 213,074,462, respectively.  Each series
     of preferred units issued and outstanding
     during the periods either were not
     convertible or their conversion would not
     have had a dilutive effect on earnings per
     unit.  The increase in pro forma weighted
     average equivalent units under the diluted
     method is due entirely to the effect of
     outstanding stock options.

  (K)  To eliminate expenses incurred by CPI during
     the period related to the CPI Merger and related
     transactions including severance, legal,
     accounting and investment banking fees and the
     write off of notes receivable from CPI employees
     related to the CPI stock purchase plan           $(83,019)         N/A
