                DEL WEBB RESPONSE TO PACIFIC PARTNERS FILING


We believe this preliminary filing, subject to SEC review, contains
statements that are inaccurate, misleading and taken out of context,
designed to support Pacific Partners' positions.

We intend to respond in detail to the claims made in their filing in the
very near future.

We strongly disagree with Pacific Partners characterization of Del Webb's
performance. We are well on our way to reporting our fifth straight year of
record earnings and we believe our future has never been more promising.

Certain statements that are not historical results are forward looking
statements. These statements involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results
will differ from those set forth or implied and the variances may be
material. Further, certain forward looking statements are based on
assumptions as to future events. Some of these assumptions will be
inaccurate. Risks and uncertainties include risks associated with new
geographic markets; governmental regulation, including growth controls and
growth management; environmental considerations; competition; the
geographic concentration of the Company's operations; the nature of real
estate operations; interest rate increases; fluctuations in labor and
material costs; natural risks in certain of the Company's market areas; and
other matters set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
