DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY REPORTS AN INCREASE OF 14.7%
IN DILUTED FFO PER SHARE FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

CLEVELAND, OHIO, October 25, 2007 - 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2007.

• Funds From Operations (“FFO”) per diluted share increased 14.7% to $2.97 and net income per diluted share increased 16.1% to $1.59 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the prior year. Excluding transactional activity relating to merchant building and land sale gains and joint venture promoted income aggregating $73.3 million and $57.6 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, diluted FFO per share increased approximately 14.5% in 2007 as compared to 2006.

• FFO per diluted share decreased 3.6% to $0.80 and net income per diluted share decreased 42.2% to $0.26 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the prior year. Excluding transactional activity relating to merchant building gains, land sale gains and joint venture promoted income aggregating $4.2 million and $16.8 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, diluted FFO per share increased approximately 12.8% in 2007 as compared to 2006.

• Executed leases during the third quarter totaled approximately 2.5 million square feet, including 179 new leases and 299 renewals.

• On a cash basis, base rental rates increased 41.8% on new leases, 7.4% on renewals and 11.3% overall.

• Core portfolio leased percentage at September 30, 2007 was 95.9%.

• Same store net operating income (“NOI”) for the nine-month period increased 2.3% over the prior-year comparable period.

Scott Wolstein, DDR’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are pleased to announce this quarter’s financial results, which reflect the consistent growth of our core portfolio and the implementation of our investment strategy. Our leasing team completed a record quarter in terms of volume and rental spreads on new leases, and our development team continued to identify and execute on attractive investment opportunities. Furthermore, we have proactively taken steps to improve the quality of our portfolio through disposition, development and acquisition and allocate our capital to where we expect the best returns. These actions have had the complementary effect of strengthening our balance sheet and enhancing our liquidity position.”

Financial Results:
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, FFO, a widely accepted measure of a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) performance, on a per share basis was $0.80 (diluted and basic) as compared to $0.83 (diluted and basic) for the same period in the previous year. FFO available to common shareholders was $99.5 million, as compared to $91.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 8.5%. Net income available to common shareholders was $32.7 million or $0.26 per share (diluted) and $0.27 per share (basic) for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $49.0 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted and basic) for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income and FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2007, is primarily related to a reduction of $12.6 million, or $0.11 per share in 2006, in transactional income relating to merchant building and land sale gains, including gains and promoted income from joint ventures, offset by increases in same store net operating income and operating results from the merger with Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“IRRETI”).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, FFO, on a per share basis was $2.97 (diluted) and $2.98 (basic) as compared to $2.59 (diluted) and $2.61 (basic) for the same period in the previous year, an increase of 14.7% on a diluted basis. FFO available to common shareholders was $365.0 million, as compared to $287.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 26.9%. Net income available to common shareholders was $192.9 million or $1.59 per share (diluted) and $1.60 per share (basic) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $149.9 million, or $1.37 per share (diluted and basic) for the prior-year comparable period. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, is primarily related to the merger with IRRETI, the release of certain valuation reserves and an increase in the gain on sale of assets including those recognized through the Company’s merchant building program and promoted income earned from certain joint ventures. These increases were partially offset by a non-cash charge relating to the redemption of preferred shares, certain integration related costs and a charge relating to the departure of the Company’s former President.

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 disposition 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:
The following results from the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio:

• Executed 179 new leases aggregating 941,434 square feet and 299 renewals aggregating 1,574,283 square feet.

• On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases increased 41.8% and rental rates on renewals increased 7.4%. Overall, rental rates for new leases and renewals increased 11.3%.

• Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot as of September 30, 2007 was $12.58, as compared to $11.68 at September 30, 2006.

• Core portfolio leased rate was 95.9% as of September 30, 2007 as compared to 96.1% at September 30, 2006.

The Company and its joint ventures (at 100%) estimate total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures to be approximately $24 million ($0.21 psf of owned GLA) in 2007.

Strategic Real Estate Transactions:

Macquarie DDR Trust
In August and September 2007, the Company sold three shopping center properties, aggregating 0.5 million square feet to the Company’s joint venture with Macquarie DDR Trust (ASX: MDT) (“MDT”), an Australian Listed Property Trust sponsored by Macquarie Bank Limited (ASX:MBL), an international investment bank and leading advisor and manager of specialized real estate funds in Australia. The aggregate purchase price for the properties was $49.8 million. The assets were recently acquired by the Company as part of its acquisition of IRRETI and these assets offer redevelopment potential during the next several years. As these assets were recently acquired, the Company did not record a gain on the transaction.

The Company retained a 14.5% ownership interest in the properties, remains responsible for day-to-day operations of the properties and receives ongoing fees for property management, leasing and construction management, and base asset management fees. The Company will also receive a promoted interest above a 10.0% leveraged IRR. The promoted interest will be calculated based on the implied value of the assets at stabilization.

Dispositions:
The Company sold eight shopping center properties in the third quarter of 2007, as part of its portfolio sale in which 52 properties were sold at the end of the second quarter, aggregating 0.9 million square feet for approximately $86.6 million. In the third quarter, the Company recognized a nominal non-FFO gain which was offset by certain additional transaction costs associated with the initial sale at the end of the second quarter. These dispositions represent the remaining assets sold in connection with the transaction announced in the second quarter of 2007.

Common Share Repurchase Program:
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program. Under the terms of the program, the Company may purchase up to a maximum value of $500 million of its common shares during the next two years. Through October 25, 2007, the Company repurchased 2.2 million of its common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of approximately $105.8 million at a weighted-average price per share of $48.42.

Development (Wholly-Owned and Consolidated Joint Ventures):
The Company currently has the following shopping center projects under construction:
