Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure.


On August 14, 2001, the company learned that information was unintentionally
disclosed regarding an estimated dividend range of between $0.12 and $0.15 for
the annual period following completion of the outlet portfolio sale and
improvements to certain community centers. This information should not be relied
upon. As reported in our press release of August 13, 2001, the board of
directors is in the process of formulating a new dividend policy following
completion of the pending outlet portfolio sale, and no estimate of an annual
dividend range has been determined. Any estimate is a forward-looking statement
and may prove incorrect depending upon many factors, including the following:

 .    the timing and amount of improvements to certain community centers;
 .    the formulation by the board of directors of a new dividend policy;
 .    the financial condition of our tenants;
 .    increases in interest rates;
 .    leasing levels; and
 .    other factors detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
     ending December 31, 2000.
