                                Overview



The Company


Simon  DeBartolo Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Simon")  (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 subsidiary, Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P.  (the
"Operating Partnership") at March 31, 1998, the Company owned or had  an
interest  in 217 properties which consisted of regional malls, community
shopping  centers, and specialty and mixed-use properties containing  an
aggregate of 140 million square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) in  34
states.  The Company, together with its affiliated management companies,
owned  or managed approximately 157 million square feet of GLA in retail
and mixed-use properties.

In  February,  Simon  and Corporate Property Investors, a privately-held
REIT,  announced  a  plan  to merge the two companies.   The  merger  is
expected  to  be completed during the third quarter and  is  subject  to
shareholder approval and customary regulatory and other conditions.

This  package  was  prepared to provide (1) ownership  information,  (2)
certain  operational information, and (3)  debt information as of  March
31, 1998, 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,
comments  or  suggestions  should be  directed  to:   Shelly  J.  Doran,

Simon DeBartolo Group
Conference Call Text
May 6, 1998


Welcome and Opening Comments  (David Simon)

Welcome  to  our  first  quarter earnings teleconference.    We  had  an
exciting  quarter  in  terms  of  our  financial  performance  and   the
announcement of our merger with Corporate Property Investors (CPI).   In
1998 we have started very strongly:

*    We increased FFO per share in the 1st quarter by 12.5%, under basic
  and diluted methods.
*    We acquired approximately $575 million of real estate.
*     We  opened two new power centers adjacent to existing Simon malls,
  adding over 500,000 square feet of GLA.
*     Through  Simon  Brand Ventures,  or SBV, we formed alliances  with
  Pepsi, Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI), Cybersmith and Olsten.


The CPI Merger (David Simon)

On  February  19, 1998, we announced the signing of a definitive  merger
agreement to acquire Corporate Property Investors.  CPI owns a portfolio
of  23 malls that are the best aggregation of retail real estate in  the
country  including  Roosevelt Field in Long  Island,  Lenox  Square  and
Phipps Plaza in Atlanta, and Town Center at Boca Raton.

The  combination  of  Simon  and  CPI creates  a  company  that  is  the
unquestioned market leader:

*    Total market cap will be in excess of $17 billion.
*     The  portfolio will contain 244 properties comprising 168  million
  square feet of GLA, which includes more than 20% of the country's best
  malls.
*     Properties  are  dispersed  across 35  states  creating  unmatched
  geographical  diversity, both by tenant and by  exposure  to  any  one
  property.
*     The  company will be the largest landlord to virtually every major
  retailer,  which increases our leasing leverage, thereby  accelerating
  rent and occupancy growth.
*     The  Company  will have more than 70 malls in the 20 largest  U.S.
  metropolitan  areas and will dominate the regional  mall  business  in
  markets  such  as  the  New  York  Metro  area,  Atlanta,  Pittsburgh,
  Indianapolis, and Southeast Florida.
<PAGE>

*     The combined entity will also have a significant presence in other
  major markets such as:
     -Boston             -Dallas             -Phoenix
     -Los Angeles        -San Antonio        -Chicago
     -Washington, D.C.   -Orlando            -Las Vegas
     -Cleveland          -Seattle            -Tampa/St. Petersburg

We  are  extremely  excited about the transaction.  Integration  of  the
Simon  and  CPI  portfolios has already begun.  We  have  made  multiple
visits  to  New  York  to  interact  with  CPI  counterparts  and   have
established integration teams.  We've also reviewed CPI's first  quarter
performance.  The first quarter was a strong one for CPI, with  positive
increases  in occupancy and sales growth.  The CPI portfolio remains  on
track for a strong 11% increase in EBITDA for 1998.

Business  methodologies from both companies in  the  areas  of  property
management, leasing, and development have been analyzed in an effort  to
identify  the best practices of each organization.  We remain  committed
to  integrating the two organizations and we fully expect to realize  at
least  $50  million  of synergies in our first year of  owning  the  CPI
portfolio.

Closing  is  expected  in July of this year.  Our confidence  about  the
prudence  of this transaction and what it means to our company in  terms
of   its  profitability  in  going  forward  remains  unquestioned   and
unwaivered.

Financial and Operational Results  (Steve Sterrett)

In  reviewing our financial and operational results for the quarter  you
should note that:

*     FFO  on a per share basis, both basic and fully diluted, increased
  12.5% to $0.63 per share in 1998 from $0.56 per share in 1997.
*    FFO of the Operating Partnership was $108.9 million, an increase of
  23.9% or $21.0 million over the same period in 1997.
*     Total revenue for the quarter increased 23.9% to $300.3 million as
  compared to $242.4 million in 1997.
<PAGE>

Contributing factors to this growth were:

*     Higher  occupancy levels in the regional mall portfolio, primarily
  as  a result of strong leasing activity.  Occupancy at March 31, 1998,
  was 86.1%, an increase of 180 basis points over the same period in 1997.
*     Cart  and  kiosk income continues to be strong as we  aggressively
  expand the program at the RPT properties.
*    Rental increases - average base rent in the regional mall portfolio
  was  $22.95 per square foot as compared to $20.84 one year ago for  an
  increase of 10.1%.  Excluding new and acquired properties the increase
  for comparable properties would have been 7.0%, to $22.29.  The average
  initial base rent for new leases signed in 1998 was $24.41, an increase
  of $5.54, or 29.4% over the tenants who closed or whose leases expired.

This releasing spread is consistent with our historical average of $5 to
$6  per  square foot, so we have been able to grow in occupancy  without
sacrificing  the  rent.  Same property NOI growth  for  the  quarter  as
compared to last year was 7.7%.

Sales statistics for the mall portfolio also demonstrated healthy growth
in the first quarter of 1998.

*     Total  sales volume was $2.051 billion at March 31, up 43.5%  from
  $1.429 billion in 1997.
*     Total  sales  per  square foot increased 7.9%.  The  increase  for
  "comparable portfolios" (excluding the new and acquired properties) was
  5.5%.
*    Comparable sales per square foot increased 7.0%.   The increase for
  comparable portfolios (excluding the new and acquired assets) was 5.0%.

We  are  very  pleased  with the results for  the  first  quarter  which
demonstrate that our acquisition and development activities, as well  as
our  continued aggressive management of the existing portfolio, continue
to strengthen the overall quality of the company.


Acquisition Activities (Rick Sokolov)

During  the  first  quarter,  the Company  acquired  approximately  $575
million worth of real estate.

In January, we announced the addition of Cordova Mall, an 874,000 square
foot  super regional located in Pensacola, Florida.  Cordova Mall  is  a
perfect  complement  to  Simon's existing  University  Mall,  giving  us
ownership of both malls in the growing Pensacola market.  The  cap  rate
for the Cordova Mall transaction was 9.1%.

On  February 27, we completed the acquisition of the IBM portfolio in  a
50/50 joint venture with The Macerich Company.  This portfolio of twelve
regional  malls  comprising 10.7 million square feet was  purchased  for
$975  million, including the assumption of $485 million of debt.   Simon
and  Macerich  each assumed leasing and management responsibilities  for
six  of  the  regional malls.  We are fully integrating these properties
and have been very pleased with what we have found. We believe there  is
an  opportunity for significant growth at these properties, as they  are
performing very well in both comparable store sales and total  sales  to
date.  The cap rate for this acquisition was 8.75%.

Development Activities  (Rick Sokolov)

We've  started  1998  off  with the opening of two  new  power  centers,
Muncie Plaza in Muncie, Indiana, and Lakeline Plaza in Austin, Texas.

*     Muncie  Plaza  is a 196,000 square foot power center  anchored  by
  Kohl's,  TJMaxx, OfficeMax, and Shoe Carnival.  The center  opened  in
  March,  and  was  97% leased and committed.  Muncie Plaza  is  located
  adjacent to Simon's recently expanded Muncie Mall.
*    Lakeline Plaza opened in April and is anchored by Linens `N Things,
  TJMaxx, Old Navy, and OfficeMaxx.  The remaining anchors, Party City and
  Toys  "R"  Us, are scheduled to open in July and August, respectively.
  This 381,000 square center complements Lakeline Mall, which Simon opened
  in October 1995.

Construction  continues on The Shops at Sunset Place, a  510,000  square
foot  specialty center located in South Miami, Florida.  This center  is
scheduled  to open in October and will feature such tenants  as  AMC  24
Theatre,  NIKETOWN, Virgin Megastore, Z Gallerie, Barnes &  Noble,  IMAX
Theatre, GameWorks, and FAO Schwarz.  This project is already 91% leased
and committed.

We currently have three additional projects under construction or in the
final stages of predevelopment:

*     Concord  Mills,  a  1.4 million square foot  value-oriented  super
  regional  mall in Concord (Charlotte), North Carolina, is  our  fourth
  project  with  the Mills Corporation. Anchor tenants include  Books-A-
<PAGE>
  Million, Bed Bath & Beyond, TJMaxx, Off Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills, AMC
  Theatres, and Host Marriott Services for the food court. It is currently
  under construction and will open in the fall of 1999.
*     Houston  Premium  Outlets in Houston, Texas, is  our  first  joint
  venture  with  Chelsea  GCA to develop premium  manufacturers'  outlet
  shopping centers.  We will own 50% of this project.  Anchors committed
  to  date include Last Call Neiman Marcus Clearance Center and Off 5th-
  Saks  Fifth Avenue Outlet.  This 462,000 square foot center will begin
  construction in the summer with projected completion in 1999.
*     Our  third  new  development is The Shops at  Northeast  Plaza,  a
  359,000 square foot power center that will begin construction mid 1998
  for  a  fall  1999 opening.  This center will be located  adjacent  to
  Northeast  Mall,  a  Simon property that will  undergo  a  substantial
  redevelopment to be complete in the year 2000.

We  are  also investigating opportunities for new development in markets
such as Orlando, Philadelphia and Dallas.

Our  redevelopment  activity is going strong with 23 projects  currently
under  construction that have targeted 1998 completion  dates.   Simon's
investment,  or  share of costs, for these 23 projects is  approximately
$240 million.  This investment will result in increased sales, occupancy
and  rents  for these centers and will solidify the market  position  of
these dominant assets.

Three   of  the  23  redevelopment  projects  with  1998  openings   are
significant in scope and cost.  We've discussed these previously,  so  I
won't go into a lot of detail; but these projects are:

*     Castleton  Square in Indianapolis, Indiana, will sport  a  remodel
  with a new food court; Ayres will expand and Lazarus will remodel; and
  Galyans and Von Maur, replacing Montgomery Ward, will be added to  the
  center.  Von Maur will also replace Montgomery Ward in Greenwood Park.
  This project is scheduled for completion in November.
*     Prien  Lake  Mall in Lake Charles, Louisiana, will  also  open  in
  November.   We  are adding 68,000 square feet of small  shops,  a  new
  Dillard's, Sears and food court, and will renovate the mall.
*     Richmond  Town Square in Cleveland, Ohio, will be our third  major
  redevelopment to open in November.  Richmond Town Square is a  perfect
  example of  Simon's redevelopment program.  Due to changing demographics
  and  shifts  in  the  competitive environment, we can  redevelop  this
  center-add  Kaufmann's,  the market leader  in  the  department  store
  category, Barnes & Noble, Sony Theater, and a food court, and  remodel
  JCPenney  and Sears-and increase our trade area by approximately  25%.
  This  expansion  of  our trade area will penetrate the  better  income
<PAGE>
  portions of the market, increasing center sales.  Post expansion, small
  shop  occupancy is projected to be in excess of 90% with sales of more
  than $300 per square foot.

There are three other major redevelopments that will open after 1998.

*     The  Florida  Mall in Orlando will add a new 200,000  square  foot
  Burdines  and  190,000  square feet of small  shop  space.   JCPenney,
  Dillard's, and Saks will also expand.  This project will be complete in
  November of 1999.
*    Mission Viejo Mall in Mission Viejo, California, will add Nordstrom
  and Saks, expand Macy's and Robinson-May, and add 150,000 square feet of
  small shops.  This redevelopment has a targeted completion of September
  1999.
*    North East Mall in Hurst, Texas, will complete its redevelopment in
  the  year  2000.  The scope of this project includes the  addition  of
  Nordstrom and Saks; Dillard's and JCPenney expansions; and the addition
  of small shop GLA with a new food court.





Joint Venture Activities  (Rick Sokolov)

Our  newest joint venture announcement is the Simon and DLJ Real  Estate
venture  with  Madison  Marquette.  In the entertainment  area,  Madison
Marquette  is  one  of  the  nation's leading upscale  specialty  retail
development  firms.   We are trying to expand our  operations  in  these
upscale,   open-air  retail  venues  and  are  pursuing  a   number   of
opportunities that we think have considerable potential.


(David Simon)

I  think that one of the things that creates a competitive advantage for
our  company  is our ability to be in all facets of retail real  estate.
You   will  see  new  power  center  development  and  traditional  mall
redevelopment.  New specialty center development, especially  the  Mills
development  and Chelsea relationship, also creates a number  of  unique
opportunities for our company.

Simon Brand Ventures (David Simon)

Four  significant  SBV  initiatives have been  announced  in  the  first
quarter of 1998:

*    Our Pepsi relationship, which we are very excited about.
*    Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI), one of the nation's leading waste
  services companies, will provide waste removal and construction support
  services throughout the Simon portfolio.
*     We  are  creating new uses and services in our malls  through  our
  relationship  with  Cybersmith as well as  our  alliance  with  Olsten
  corporation, creating in-mall employment centers.

We  are very pleased as to the direction that  SBV has taken in 1998  in
creating  unique sponsorship opportunities,  promotional  opportunities,
service  opportunities,  cost savings, as  well  as  new  uses  for  our
centers.    We   also  see  significant   upside   in  applying    these
initiatives throughout the CPI portfolio.

Conclusion  (David Simon)

*     We  had a strong quarter-increasing  FFO per share by 12.5%, which
  follows 14.5% growth in the fourth quarter of 1997.
*    Our portfolio had continued solid growth-both in terms of occupancy
  and sales growth.
*    We continued our aggressive acquisition and development pace.
*      SBV  continued  its  pursuit  of  additional  revenue  generating
  alliances.
*     The  market's  receptiveness to the CPI  announcement  has  proved
  positive.  We have had the opportunity to meet many of the investors to
  explain the rationale and what it means for the future of our company.
  We  are  clearly  not out to get bigger.  What we have  been  able  to
  substantiate is that quality of assets and scale of operations mean  a
  tremendous amount in our business.  Having unmatched quality assets and
  scale of operations allows us to generate economies of scale and create
  both  marketing alliances and cost-savings alliances.   These  factors
  allow us to generate increased performance.
*     We  are well along on our integration plans for the CPI merger and
  we expect it to go smoothly.
