Item 1(b)  Changes of Control of Registrant

Item 5     Other Events

           On December 27, 1995, the Registrant, Ramco-Gershenson, Inc.
("Ramco"), the stockholders of Ramco and certain affiliates of Ramco entered
into the Amended and Restated Master Agreement (the "Amended Master
Agreement") which amends and restates the Master Agreement, dated April 10,
1995, by and among the Registrant, Ramco and certain affiliates of Ramco,
relating to the acquisition by the Registrant of certain stock interests in
Ramco and substantially all of the real estate assets of Ramco's affiliates
(the "Ramco Transaction"). The Amended Master Agreement is attached to the
Current Report on form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.

           Additional information with respect to the Ramco Transaction will be
included in a proxy statement to be distributed to the Registrant's
shareholders, pursuant to which the Registrant will seek the approval of its
shareholders of the Ramco Transaction and certain related matters.

           Notwithstanding the filing of this Form 8-K under Item 1(b) hereof,
the transactions contemplated by the Ramco Transaction may not be deemed to
result in a change of control of the Registrant because: (i) all of the shares
of voting stock of the Registrant that will be outstanding immediately after
consummation of the Ramco Transaction will continue to be held by the
Registrant's existing shareholders; (ii) the members of the Ramco Group (as
defined in the Amended Master Agreement) will only receive units of limited
partnership interest ("Units") in Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership, which are not exchangeable for the Registrant's shares for
at least one year following consummation of the Ramco Transaction, and which
may, at the Registrant's option, be redeemed instead for cash; (iii) the Ramco
Group has the right to designate only four of the nine trustees to the
Registrant's board of trustees, and (iv) assuming the exchange of all Units for
shares in the Registrant, the Ramco Group would only hold shares representing
between 25% and 29% of the issued and outstanding shares.
