Item 5.    Other Events
- -------    ------------

     On February 4, 1998, JDN Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired a
portfolio of five shopping centers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin containing an
aggregate of approximately 1.1 million square feet (the "Milwaukee
Acquisitions") from two third parties for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $58.5 million. The two third party sellers are related to one
another but are unrelated to the Company. The Company financed the purchase of
the Milwaukee Acquisitions with an advance under its unsecured line of credit,
assumption of secured indebtedness of $5.4 million, and sponsored a limited
partnership that issued limited partnership units valued at $3.0 million in a
limited partnership formed to own and operate one of the shopping centers.
Subject to certain conditions, the limited partnership units are exchangeable
for cash or 139,535 shares of the Company's common stock beginning in February
1999.

     On February 23, 1998, the Company acquired Cross Pointe Shopping Center, a
205,491 square foot shopping center in Fayetteville, North Carolina for
approximately $12.9 million from an unrelated third party. The Company financed
this acquisition with an advance under its unsecured line of credit in the
amount of $2.4 million and by canceling a $10.5 million mortgage loan receivable
from the seller in consideration for a credit at closing.

     On June 22, 1998, the Company acquired Candlers Station Shopping Center, a
270,765 square foot shopping center in Lynchburg, Virginia for $18.3 million
from an unrelated third party. The Company financed this acquisition with an
advance under its unsecured line of credit.

     On October 7, 1998, the Company acquired all of the limited liability
company membership interests in an entity which owns University Hills Shopping
Center, a 244,631 square foot shopping center in Denver, Colorado, for
approximately $12.8 million. The Company financed this acquisition with an
advance under its unsecured line of credit. The shopping center is subject to a
$25.4 million mortgage loan under which the limited liability company is the
obligor and the Company is the guarantor.

     Financial statements for these acquired properties and pro forma financial
information of the Company related to these acquisitions are included in this
report.

Shareholders and Board of Directors
JDN Realty Corporation

We have audited the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses of the
Milwaukee Acquisitions as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31,
1997. This combined statement of revenue and certain expenses is the
responsibility of the Milwaukee Acquisitions' management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on this 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses
is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 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 presentation of the combined statement of revenue and
certain expenses. We believe that our audit of the combined statement of revenue
and certain expenses 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 for inclusion in a Form 8-K of JDN Realty Corporation as
described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Milwaukee Acquisitions' combined 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 of the Milwaukee Acquisitions for the year ended December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                            Milwaukee Acquisitions

         Notes to Combined Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

                         Year ended December 31, 1997 
        and period from January 1, 1998 to February 4, 1998 (Unaudited)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to
the combined operations of Marketplace at Brown Deer, Brown Deer Center,
Shoppers World of Brookfield, West Allis Center and Pointe Loomis retail
shopping centers (collectively, the "Milwaukee Acquisitions"). The Milwaukee
Acquisitions are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and have a combined total of
approximately 1.1 million gross leasable square feet. During February 1998, JDN
Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired the Milwaukee Acquisitions from two
third parties, who are related to each other but are unrelated to the Company.

The accompanying combined statements of revenue and certain expenses were
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of the Company.
The combined statements are not representative of the combined actual operations
of the Milwaukee Acquisitions for the periods presented nor indicative of future
combined operations as certain expenses, primarily consisting of mortgage
interest expense, depreciation, amortization, management fees and corporate
expenses have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum base rentals are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the operating leases. Tenants are required to pay contingent rentals
based on common area maintenance expenses, and such contingent rentals are
recognized as revenue when earned. Additionally, certain tenants pay incremental
rental amounts based on sales volumes and these percentage rentals are
recognized as earned.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

        and period from January 1, 1998 to February 4, 1998 (Unaudited)


2. LEASES AND SIGNIFICANT TENANTS

The tenant base includes primarily national or regional retail chains and local
retailers, and consequently the Milwaukee Acquisitions' credit risk is
concentrated in the retail industry.

The significant tenants of the Milwaukee Acquisitions and the minimum rents from
these tenants, as a percentage of combined total minimum rents for the periods
indicated, were as follows:

              Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

 Year Ended December 31, 1997 and period from January 1, 1998 to February 23, 
                               1998 (Unaudited)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of Cross Pointe Shopping Center. The property is located in
Fayetteville, North Carolina and has a total of 204,291 gross leasable square
feet. JDN Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired the center from an
unrelated third party during February 1998.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses were prepared for
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K of the Company. The statements
are not representative of the actual operations of Cross Pointe Shopping Center
for the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as certain
expenses, primarily consisting of mortgage interest expense, depreciation,
amortization, management fees and corporate expenses have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum base rentals are recognized as revenue on straight-line basis over the
terms of the operating leases. Tenants are required to pay contingent rentals
based on common area maintenance expenses, and such contingent rentals are
recognized as revenue when earned.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

2. LEASES AND SIGNIFICANT TENANTS

The tenant base includes primarily national or regional retail chains and local
retailers, and consequently Cross Pointe Shopping Center's credit risk is
concentrated in the retail industry.

The significant tenants of Cross Pointe Shopping Center and the minimum rents
recognized from these tenants, as a percentage of total minimum rents for the
periods indicated, were as follows:

                       University Hills Shopping Center

              Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses

       Year ended December 31, 1997 and period from January 1, 1998 to 
                        September 30, 1998 (Unaudited)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses relate to the
operations of University Hills Shopping Center. The property is located in
Denver, Colorado and has a total of 219,642 gross leasable square feet with
additional square feet under construction. JDN Realty Corporation (the
"Company") acquired all of the limited liability company membership interests in
the entity, which owns University Hills Shopping Center from an unrelated third
party during October 1998.

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses are not
representative of the actual operations of University Hills Shopping Center for
the periods presented nor indicative of future operations as certain expenses,
primarily consisting of mortgage interest expense, depreciation, amortization,
management fees, and corporate expenses have been excluded.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Minimum base rentals are recognized as revenue on straight-line basis over the
terms of the operating leases. Tenants are required to pay contingent rentals
based on common area maintenance expenses, and such contingent rentals are
recognized as revenue when earned. Additionally, certain tenants pay incremental
rental amounts based on sales volumes and these percentage rentals are
recognized as earned.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

retailers, and consequently University Hills Shopping Center's credit risk is
concentrated in the retail industry.

The significant tenants of University Hills Shopping Center and the minimum
rents recognized from these tenants, as a percentage of total minimum rents for
the periods indicated, were as follows:

Effective January 5, 1998, HomePlace Stores, Inc. declared bankruptcy. Under the
direction of the bankruptcy trustee, Homeplace is to remain current on their
1998 lease payments. The outcome of the bankruptcy is unknown and management is
unable to determine the ultimate effect of this matter on the property, however,
management has considered this in its evaluation of bad debt expense.
