Developers Diversified Realty Reports an Increase of 17.9% in Diluted FFO per Share for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2006

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE: DDR), the nation's leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant community centers, today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

--  Funds From Operations ("FFO") per diluted share increased 17.9% to
    $0.99 and net income per diluted share increased 18.0% to $0.59 for the
    three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the prior year

--  Core portfolio leased percentage increased 40 basis points over the
    prior year to 96.0%

--  Executed leases during the second quarter totaled approximately 1.75
    million square feet, including 116 new leases and 178 renewals

--  Base rents increased 21.0% on new leases, 10.8% on renewals and 12.9%
    on a blended basis

--  Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter increased 3.3%
    over the prior year
    

Scott Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "I'm pleased to report this quarter's results, which reflect approximately $33 million in merchant building gains from sales to Macquarie DDR Trust, as well as solid portfolio fundamentals. Based on meetings with retailers at the International Council of Shopping Centers convention in May, we expect demand for space to remain robust for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. From a balance sheet perspective, we were upgraded to Baa2 by Moody's during the quarter, which supported the pricing and operating improvements we made to our unsecured credit facilities in June."

Financial Results:

FFO, a widely accepted measure of a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") performance, on a diluted and basic per share basis was $0.99 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $0.84 for the same period in the previous year, an increase of 17.9%. FFO available to common shareholders was $109.8 million, as compared to $92.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of 18.7%. Net income available to common shareholders was $64.9 million or $0.59 per share (diluted and basic) for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $54.2 million, or $0.50 per share (diluted and basic) for the prior comparable period. The increase in net income and FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2006, is primarily related to an increase in gain on sale of real estate assets through the Company's merchant building program as compared to 2005.

FFO was $1.76 (diluted) and $1.77 (basic) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $1.73 (diluted) and $1.74 (basic) for the same period in the previous year, an increase of 1.7% on a diluted basis. FFO available to common shareholders was $196.0 million, as compared to $191.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of 2.3%. Net income available to common shareholders was $100.9 million or $0.92 per share (diluted and basic) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $145.9 million, or $1.34 per share (diluted) and $1.35 per share (basic) for the prior comparable period. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily related to a decrease in gain on sale of real estate assets as compared to 2005.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry. Management believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO more appropriately measures the core operations of the Company and provides a benchmark to its peer group. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred dividends, (ii) gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, (iii) sales of securities, (iv) extraordinary items, (v) cumulative effect of changes in accounting standards and (vi) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from minority equity investments and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investments, determined on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is presented in the financial highlights section.

Leasing:

Leasing activity continues to be strong throughout the portfolio. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company executed 116 new leases aggregating 967,351 square feet and 178 renewals aggregating 765,326 square feet. Rental rates on new leases increased by 21.0% and rental rates on renewals increased by 10.8%. On a blended basis, rental rates for new leases and renewals increased by 12.9%. At June 30, 2006, the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, including those properties owned through joint ventures, was $11.64, as compared to $11.27 at June 30, 2005.

At June 30, 2006, the portfolio, including those properties owned through joint ventures, was 96.2% leased. Excluding the impact of the properties acquired from Mervyns, the core portfolio was 96.0% leased, as compared to 95.6% at June 30, 2005. These percentages include tenants for which signed leases have been executed and occupancy has not occurred. Based on tenants in place and responsible for paying rent as of June 30, 2006, the portfolio was 95.2% occupied. Excluding the impact of the properties acquired from Mervyns, the core portfolio was 95.0% occupied, as compared to 95.0% at June 30, 2005.

Strategic Real Estate Transactions:

MDT Joint Ventures:

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold seven properties, aggregating 0.8 million owned square feet, to the MDT Preferred Joint Venture, a newly formed joint venture with Macquarie DDR Trust, for approximately $122.7 million and recognized gains totaling approximately $38.5 million of which $32.5 million represented merchant building gains from recently developed shopping centers.

Under the terms of the new MDT Preferred Joint Venture, MDT receives a 9% return on its preferred equity investment of approximately $12.2 million and then receives a 10% return on its common equity investment of approximately $20.8 million before DDR receives a 10% return on its common equity investment. DDR is then entitled to a 20% promoted interest in any cash flow achieved above a 10% leveraged IRR on all common equity.

The Company remains responsible for all day-to-day operations of the properties and receives ongoing fees for property management, leasing and construction management, in addition to a promoted interest, along with other periodic fees such as financing fees.

In addition, in July 2006, the Company sold two additional expansion areas in McDonough, Georgia and Coons Rapids, Minnesota to the MDT Joint Venture for approximately $10.1 million. These expansion areas are adjacent to shopping centers currently owned by the MDT Joint Venture. The Company anticipates recording merchant building gains of approximately $3 million in the third quarter relating to these sales.

Coventry II Joint Venture:

In May 2006, the Coventry II Joint Ventures acquired three assets located in Cincinnati, Ohio; Benton Harbor, Michigan and Dallas, Texas at an aggregate cost of approximately $225 million. The Company is responsible for all day-to-day operations of the properties and receives its share of ongoing fees for property management, certain leasing, construction management, and construction oversight, in addition to a promoted interest in the three properties acquired.

Service Merchandise Joint Venture:

In June 2006, the Company exercised its purchase and sale rights under the Service Merchandise Joint Venture agreement, and agreed to purchase its partners' approximate 75% interest in the remaining 52 assets owned by the Joint Venture. The Company expects to complete this acquisition in August 2006 at an expected gross purchase price of approximately $138 million relating to our partners' approximately 75% interest, based on a total valuation of approximately $185 million for all remaining aspects. Following this acquisition, the Company expects to sell the assets to the Coventry II Joint Venture and anticipates recording a gain of approximately $5 million of which $3 million will be included in FFO.

Acquisitions:

In April 2006, the Company acquired its partner's 50% ownership interest in the Deer Valley Towne Center located in Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $15.6 million in addition to assuming the partner's proportionate share of the $17.3 million of existing mortgage debt (or $8.65 million). The total shopping center was valued at approximately $48.2 million. Following the date of acquisition, this previously unconsolidated joint venture is consolidated into the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Expansions:

During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company completed three expansions and redevelopment projects located in Ocala, Florida; Rome, New York and Mooresville, North Carolina at an aggregate cost of $15.9 million. The Company is currently expanding/redeveloping nine shopping centers located in Gadsden, Alabama; Lakeland, Florida; Stockbridge, Georgia; Ottumwa, Iowa; Gaylord, Michigan; Olean, New York; Bayamon, Puerto Rico; Ft. Union, Utah and Brookfield, Wisconsin at a projected aggregate cost of approximately $57.2 million. The Company anticipates commencing construction on five additional expansion and redevelopment projects at shopping centers located in Birmingham, Alabama; Crystal River, Florida; Hamilton, New Jersey; Amherst, New York and Stow, Ohio.

Five of the Company's joint ventures are currently expanding/redeveloping their shopping centers located in Phoenix, Arizona; Lancaster, California; Benton Harbor, Michigan; Kansas City, Missouri and Cincinnati, Ohio at a projected incremental cost of approximately $82.8 million. Two of the Company's joint ventures anticipate commencing expansion/redevelopment projects at their shopping centers located in Deer Park, Illinois and Kirkland, Washington.

Development (Wholly Owned and Consolidated Joint Ventures):

As of June 30, 2006, the Company has substantially completed the construction of the Freehold, New Jersey shopping center, which has an aggregate cost of $25.4 million.

The Company currently has nine shopping center projects under construction. These projects are located in Miami, Florida; Nampa, Idaho; McHenry, Illinois; Chesterfield, Michigan; Seabrook, New Hampshire; Horseheads, New York; Apex, North Carolina (Beaver Creek Crossings - Phase I, which is being developed through a joint venture with First Carolina Properties); Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and San Antonio, Texas, (which is being developed through a joint venture with David Berndt Interests). These projects are scheduled for completion during 2006 through 2007 at a projected aggregate cost of approximately $517 million and will create an additional 4.7 million square feet of gross leasable retail space. At June 30, 2006, approximately $257.2 million of costs were incurred in relation to these development projects.

The Company anticipates commencing construction in 2006 on two additional shopping centers located in Homestead, Florida and McKinney, Texas. These projects have an estimated aggregate cost of $59.3 million and will create an additional 0.5 million square feet of gross leasable retail space.

Development (Joint Ventures):

Four of the Company's joint ventures currently have shopping center projects under construction. These projects have an aggregate projected cost of approximately $210.5 million. These projects are located in Merriam, Kansas; Apex, North Carolina (Beaver Creek Crossings - South, adjacent to a wholly owned development project); Allen, Texas and San Antonio, Texas. The projects located in Merriam, Kansas; Allen, Texas and San Antonio, Texas are being developed through the Coventry II program. The majority of the project located in San Antonio, Texas was substantially completed during 2005. The remaining three projects are scheduled for completion during 2007 and 2008. At June 30, 2006, approximately $72.4 million of costs were incurred in relation to these development projects.

Financing:

In June 2006, the Company amended and restated its senior unsecured credit facility to expand the facility from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion and add an accordion feature to increase the facility, at the Company's option, up to $1.4 billion. The Company reduced interest rate pricing to LIBOR plus 60 basis points, based on the Company's current corporate credit ratings (Baa2 stable from Moody's and BBB stable from Standard and Poors) and extended the maturity to June 2010.

The Company also amended its $60 million unsecured credit facility with National City Bank to reflect consistent terms, pricing and maturity as in the $1.2 billion senior unsecured credit facility, described above. In addition, its $400 million secured term loan was amended to add an accordion feature to increase the loan, at the Company's option, up to $500 million and make similar covenant modifications.

Developers Diversified Realty currently owns and manages approximately 500 retail operating and development properties in 44 states, plus Puerto Rico, comprising approximately 114 million square feet of real estate. Developers Diversified Realty is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) operating as a fully integrated real estate company which acquires, develops, leases and manages shopping centers.
