Exhibit 99.1

ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

~ Rental Income Increased 13.5% Over the First Quarter 2010 ~

~ FFO Increased To $5.2 Million in First Quarter 2011 ~

GREAT NECK, New York, May 9, 2011 — One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), an owner of a geographically diversified portfolio of retail, industrial, office and other properties primarily under long term leases in the United States, today announced operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated, “Our first quarter results represent year-over-year growth in rental income and cash flow. We also successfully completed a capital raise and secured a larger line of credit, both of which provided the Company with approximately $56 million of capacity to fund additional acquisitions from our pipeline of opportunities.”

Operating Results:

Rental income for first quarter of 2011 increased 13.5% to $11.33 million compared to $9.98 million for the first quarter of 2010. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 increased 7.1% to $4.68 million from $4.37 million for the first quarter in the prior year. Both increases are primarily attributable to properties acquired during 2010.

Income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2011 was $2.7 million or $0.21 per diluted share compared to $2.4 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010. The per share impact to 2011 results is mainly related to the issuance of 2.7 million shares in February 2011.

The Company generated an 11.7% improvement in quarter over quarter Funds from Operations (“FFO”) to $5.2 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 the Company’s per diluted share FFO was $0.39 compared to $0.41 per diluted share in the corresponding period of the prior year. The primary cause for the per share decline is the addition of the shares issued in February 2011. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included later in this release.

Acquisitions:

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired one retail property in Illinois for $2.3 million.

In addition, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% equity interest acquired a property in Georgia, with three retail tenants, for $3.2 million. This property is adjacent to other properties owned by the Company and its joint venture partner.

Balance Sheet:

The Company at March 31, 2011 had $11.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $451.6 million, total debt of $216.4 million (including $10 million outstanding on its credit line) and stockholders’ equity of $218.9 million.

During the quarter, as previously disclosed, One Liberty amended its credit line increasing the borrowing capacity by $15 million to $55 million and completed the issuance of 2.7 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $40.6 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

One Liberty believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. One Liberty presents FFO because it considers FFO to be an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of equity REITs. FFO is intended to exclude generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

One Liberty has determined FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). FFO is defined by NAREIT as “net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Management believes this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
