ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

      On  August  6, 1998, Price Spokane Limited Partnership acquired NorthTown
Mall.  Price Spokane  Limited  Partnership  is  owned  99% by Price Development
Company, Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership")  who  is the limited
partner and 1% by Price NT Corp. who is the general partner.  Price NT Corp. is
wholly owned by JP Realty, Inc. (the "Company").  NorthTown Mall is an enclosed
regional  mall  containing  952,262  square  feet of total gross leasable  area
("Total  GLA")  located in Spokane Washington.   The  major  anchor  department
stores at NorthTown  Mall  are:  The  Bon Marche, Sears, JC Penney, Mervyns and
Emporium.  At the time of its acquisition,  NorthTown  Mall  was 95.4% occupied
based  on  Total  GLA and had 88.8% of its mall shops occupied.   The  purchase
price  paid for NorthTown  Mall  was  $128,000,000  of  which  $84,500,000  was
financed  utilizing a first mortgage provided by Morgan Stanley and $43,500,000
was funded  out  of  the  Company's credit facilities with UBS AG and Bank One,
Arizona, NA.  The Company purchased  the  mall from Sabey Corporation, pursuant
to a Real Estate Sales Agreement, the terms  of  which  were determined through
arms-length negotiations between the parties.

      The factors considered by the Company in determining the price to be paid
for the mall included its historical and/or expected cash  flow,  nature of the
tenants  and  terms  of  leases  in  place, occupancy rates, opportunities  for
alternative and new tenancies, current  operating  costs  and taxes on the mall
and  anticipated  changes therein under Company ownership and  expansion  areas
available, the physical  condition  and  locations of the mall, the anticipated
effect on the Company's financial results  and other factors.  The Company took
into consideration capitalization rates at which  it  believes  other  shopping
centers  have  recently  sold,  and  determined the price it was willing to pay
primarily on the factors discussed above  relating to the mall and its fit with
the Company's operations.

      NorthTown Mall contains an aggregate of 952,262 square feet of Total GLA,
of which 709,870 square feet is Company owned.

                       ---------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
JP Realty, Inc.

      We have audited the accompanying Historical  Statement  of  Revenues  and
Certain  Expenses  of  NorthTown  Mall  for  the  year  ended December 31, 1997
("Historical Statement").  This Historical Statement is the  responsibility  of
management.   Our  responsibility  is  to express an opinion on this Historical
Statement 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 Historical  Statement  is free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,  evidence
supporting  the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Statement.  An  audit
also  includes   assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Statement.   We  believe  that  our  audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

      The accompanying Historical Statement was prepared on the basis described
in Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules  and  regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the current report on Form
8-K  of  JP Realty, Inc.) and is not intended to be a complete presentation  of
the revenues and expenses of NorthTown Mall.

      In our  opinion,  the  Historical  Statement  referred  to above presents
fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  revenues  and  certain expenses  of
NorthTown Mall, on the basis described in Note 2, for the year  ended  December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO HISTORICAL STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    OPERATION OF PROPERTY

      The  accompanying  historical  statement of revenues and certain expenses
relate to the operations of NorthTown Mall (the "Property") located in Spokane,
Washington.  NorthTown Mall was acquired by the Company on August 6, 1998.


2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying historical statements  of  revenues and certain expenses
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

      The  accompanying  financial  statements are not  representative  of  the
actual operations for the periods presented,  as certain revenues and expenses,
which  may  not be comparable to the revenues and  expenses  to  be  earned  or
incurred by the  Company  in  the  future operations of the Property, have been
excluded.  Revenues excluded consist  of  revenue  unrelated  to the continuing
operations   of   the   Property.    Expenses  excluded  consist  of  interest,
depreciation of the building and improvements,  amortization of deferred costs,
and other general and administrative costs not directly  related  to the future
operations of the Property.

      USE OF ESTIMATES

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

      INCOME RECOGNITION

      Minimum  rents  are  recognized  using  the straight-line basis.  Through
March 31, 1998, percentage rent revenues were recognized  on  an  accrual basis
based on annual amounts.

      Effective  April  1,  1998,  the  Company  has prospectively adopted  the
provisions of Issue No. 98-9 ("EITF 98-9") Accounting  For  Contingent  Rent in
Interim  Financial  Periods,  which was issued on May 21, 1998 by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Emerging  Issues  Task  Force,  which  significantly
changes  the  Company's recognition of percentage and overage rents revenue  in
interim periods.   Prior  to  the adoption of EITF 98-9, the Company recognized
percentage and overage rents revenue  monthly  on  an  accrual  basis  based on
estimated  annual  amounts.   Under the provisions of EITF 98-9 percentage  and
overage  rents revenue is recognized  in  the  interim  periods  in  which  the
specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.

      The  Company  has  presented  NorthTown Mall's Statements of Revenues and
Certain Expenses consistent with the  Company's  treatment  of  percentage  and
overage rents.

(UNAUDITED)

      On January 28, 1997, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock in
an underwritten public offering at an offering price of $27.125 per share.  Net
proceeds  to  the  Company  totaled  $38,600,000  and  were  used  to  purchase
additional interests in Price Development  Company,  Limited  Partnership  (the
"Operating  Partnership").   The  Operating  Partnership  used  the proceeds to
reduce borrowings outstanding under the $50,000,000 credit facility.   On  June

(A)   Reflects  the  JP  Realty,  Inc.  historical  consolidated  statement  of
      operations for the period January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998.

(B)   Reflects  historical  revenues  and  certain  expenses  of  the  Property
      acquired on August 6, 1998 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

(C)   Reflects  interest  expense  on  $43,500  outstanding under the revolving
      credit facilities, drawn for purposes of the acquisition of the Property,
      at a rate equal to the average interest rate  incurred  under  the credit
      facilities, and interest on $84,500 of new first mortgage debt at a 6.68%
      fixed  rate.   A  change  in  the  interest rate of 1/8% on the revolving
      credit facilities used to finance the  acquisition  of the property would
      result in approximately $27 interest expense increase or decrease for the
      six months ended June 30, 1998.

(D)   Reflects  depreciation  on approximately $121,000 of the  purchase  price
      allocated to buildings, over  a  40-year  useful life and amortization on
      loan fees of $530 over a 10 year life.

(E)   Based upon 17,543,000 shares of Diluted Common  Stock  and 200,000 shares
      of  Price Group stock outstanding.  The number of shares  assumed  to  be
      outstanding include 128,000 shares from dilutive stock options.  Earnings
      per share  will be unaffected by partners who elect to exchange Operating
      Partnership units in the Operating Partnership on a one-for-one basis for
      common stock  of  the  Company, as holders of such units and stockholders
      effectively share equally in the net income of the Operating Partnership.

       (1)   Reflects  the adjustment to record interest  expense  on  $122,000
             outstanding  under  the  revolving  credit  facilities,  drawn for
             purposes  of  the  acquisitions,  at  a  rate equal to the average
             interest rate incurred under the credit facilities,  and  interest
             on  $12,997 of assumed debt at a 8.5% fixed rate, and interest  on
             $84,500  of  new  first  mortgage  debt  at a 6.68% fixed rate.  A
             change  in  the  interest  rate  of 1/8% on the  revolving  credit
             facilities used to finance the acquisition of the properties would
             result in $153 interest expense increase or decrease.

             Interest expense is reduced by using  the  $38,600 in net proceeds
             from  the  January 28, 1997 common stock offering.   The  proceeds
             were  used to  retire  borrowings  outstanding  on  the  Operating
             Partnership's credit facilities.

             a 10 year life.

(C)    Adjustment  reflects  a reduction in outside  management  fees  for  the
       Operating  Partnership received  for  management  services  provided  to
       Silver Lake Mall prior to the acquisition.

       include the  1,500,000  shares sold in the January 28, 1997 offering and
       166,000 shares from dilutive  stock options.  Earnings per share will be
       unaffected by partners who elect to exchange Operating Partnership units
       in the Operating Partnership on  a one-for-one basis for common stock of
       the Company, as holders of such units and stockholders effectively share
