CLEVELAND, OH , the nation's leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant shopping centers, today reported operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

--  Funds From Operations ("FFO") per diluted share was $0.83 and net
    income per diluted share was $0.28 for the three-month period ended March
    31, 2008, as compared to the prior-year comparable period of $0.91 and
    $0.42, respectively.  The decrease in FFO and net income per share for the
    three-month period ended March 31, 2008, is primarily related to the
    release of certain tax reserves in the first quarter of 2007 and a
    reduction in the amount of transactional income offset by a full three
    months of operating results as a result of the merger with Inland Retail
    Real Estate Trust, Inc.("IRRETI").

--  Executed leases during the first quarter totaled approximately 2.9
    million square feet, including 144 new leases and 329 renewals.

--  On a cash basis, base rental rates increased 27.8% on new leases, 7.0%
    on renewals and 10.7% overall.

--  Core portfolio leased percentage at March 31, 2008 was 95.8%.

--  Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter increased 2.0%
    over the prior-year comparable period.
    

Scott Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We're pleased to report this quarter's financial results, which demonstrate the strength of our portfolio and consistency in our performance, despite challenges in the broader economy. We expect property fundamentals in our portfolio to remain strong as our largest tenant relationships continue to benefit from market share gains due to solid balance sheets and price-sensitive consumers."

"We're pleased with the progress we've made in addressing our 2008 debt and loan maturities and we remain focused on our balance sheet in order to minimize our risk profile while allowing us to pursue opportunities created by the credit market dislocation," Mr. Wolstein continued.

Financial Results:

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $32.9 million, or $0.28 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $48.7 million, or $0.42 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, is primarily related to the release of certain tax reserves in the first quarter of 2007 and a reduction in the amount of transactional income offset by a full three months of operating results as a result of the merger with IRRETI.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, FFO per share was $0.83 (diluted and basic) and $0.91 (diluted and basic), respectively. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $99.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $106.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in FFO for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, is a result of the same factors impacting net income as described above.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. 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 ("GAAP"), 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 share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) extraordinary items and (v) 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:

The following results from the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio:

--  Executed 144 new leases aggregating 0.8 million square feet and 329
    renewals aggregating 2.1 million square feet.

--  On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases increased 27.8% and rental
    rates on renewals increased 7.0%.  Overall, rental rates for new leases and
    renewals increased 10.7%.

--  Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot,
    excluding Brazil, as of March 31, 2008 was $12.38, as compared to $12.36 at
    March 31, 2007.

--  Core portfolio leased rate was 95.8% as of March 31, 2008, as compared
    to 96.0% at March 31, 2007.
    

The Company and its joint ventures (at 100%) estimate total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures to be approximately $25 million ($0.21 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2008.

Acquisitions:

In January 2008, through a 50% consolidated joint venture interest with Holborn Brampton Limited Partnership, the Company acquired 43 acres of land in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, for approximately $32.6 million to develop a retail shopping center.

Dispositions:

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company sold two shopping centers, including one which was considered held for sale at December 31, 2007, aggregating approximately 0.1 million square feet for an aggregate sales price of $8.0 million.

Macquarie DDR Trust Share Purchase:

In February 2008, the Company began purchasing units of Macquarie DDR Trust ("MDT"), an Australian Based Listed Property Trust sponsored by Macquarie Bank Limited (ASX: MBL), an international investment bank, advisor and manager of specialized real estate funds. MDT is DDR's joint venture partner in the DDR Macquarie Fund LLC joint venture ("the Fund"). Through the combination of its purchase of the units in MDT and its direct and indirect ownership of the Fund, DDR is entitled to an approximate 17.2% of the economic interest in the Fund at March 31, 2008. Through April 21, 2008, the Company has purchased 59.7 million MDT units in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of approximately $27.5 million, which reflects a weighted-average price per unit of $0.46.

Wholly-Owned and Consolidated Joint Venture Development:

The Company currently has the following wholly-owned and consolidated joint venture shopping center projects under construction:

Financing:

In March 2008, the Company entered into mortgage loans with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company on six of its shopping center assets, four of which are located in the continental U.S. and two of which are located in Puerto Rico, for an aggregate of $350.0 million with a maturity date of April 2013. The loans have a fixed interest rate of 5.0% and provide for interest-only debt service payments with a balloon payment at maturity. The Company used the proceeds from the loans to repay scheduled 2008 debt maturities and the remaining balance to repay revolving credit facilities.

Other loan closings during the quarter included a $71 million construction loan on our Homestead, Florida development and the refinancing of $72 million of joint venture debt. In addition, our 50% joint venture with Sonae Sierra, which owns and develops retail real estate in Brazil, closed on a R$50 million Reais credit facility in late February.

In January 2008, the Company repaid unsecured notes aggregating $100.0 million through borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities.

(A) Increases in base and percentage rental revenues for the three-month
    period ended March 31, 2008, as compared to the prior-year comparable
    period, aggregated $12.1 million, consisting of $3.2 million related to

(C) General and administrative expenses include internal leasing salaries,
    legal salaries and related expenses associated with the releasing of
    space, which are charged to operations as incurred.  For the
    three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, general and
    administrative expenses were approximately 4.3% and 5.7%, respectively,

    expenses were 4.6% of total revenues for the three-month period ended
    March 31, 2007.

(D) Other income/expense primarily relates to abandoned acquisition and
    development project costs.

        million and $0.3 million for the three-month periods ended March

(G) During the first quarter of 2007, the Company released to income
    approximately $15.0 million of previously established valuation
    allowances against certain deferred tax assets as management had
    determined, due to several factors, that it is more likely than not
    that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The release was primarily
    due to the Company's increased use of its taxable REIT subsidiaries
    relating to its merchant building program.

(I) For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average
    shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the conversion of
    approximately 0.9 million Operating Partnership Units (OP Units)
    outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007, into 0.9 million common shares
    of the Company for both of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008
    and 2007, respectively, on a weighted average basis.  The weighted
    average diluted shares and OP Units outstanding, for purposes of
    computing FFO, were approximately 120.6 million and 116.9 million for
    the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
