1. Market Instability: The real estate market, and especially the retail property market, is subject to economic, political, and other forms of instability. There is always the risk that the value of Simon Property Group's holdings could decrease in value or that the company could experience significant losses due to changes in the market.

2. Dependence on Tenants: Revenue for Simon Property Group depends heavily on the tenants that rent space in its properties. If tenants don’t pay their rent, or if they close their stores, then the company’s income could suffer significantly.

3. Legal/Regulatory Risk: Simon Property Group must comply with a variety of local, regional, and federal laws and regulations related to their business. Problems with compliance could lead to fines, penalties, or other legal ramifications.

4. Operational Risk: As with any business, Simon Property Group operates a complex network of properties and operations. Any mismanagement, technological failure, or disruption to the company's operations could cause a financial or operational setback.

5. Competition: The retail property sector is highly competitive. Simon Property Group needs to continually invest in its assets to stay competitive and remain attractive to tenants. This increases the cost of running the business and puts downward pressure on profit margins.
