LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF

11 ASSETS INTO SPECIALTY CO-INVESTMENT PROGRAM

New York, NY – March 27, 2008 – Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE:LXP), a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on single-tenant real estate investments, today announced that its co-investment program with Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. closed on the acquisition of an additional 11 primarily single-tenant net leased assets from Lexington and its subsidiaries for an aggregate purchase price of $270.2 million, including the assumption of non-recourse first mortgage financing secured by certain of the assets.  The 11 properties contain an aggregate of more than 2.0 million net rentable square feet, and are located in 6 states.

Selected information about the 11 primarily single tenant net leased assets is set forth in Lexington’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2008.

As previously announced, the co-investment program is under contract to acquire a property in Garland, Texas and a property in The Woodlands, Texas from Lexington and its subsidiaries.  Closing on these two additional properties is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2008.

The acquisition of these two assets by the co-investment program is subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent to closing, including obtaining additional ownership interests in one of the properties, obtaining lender consents, obtaining certain other consents and waivers, the continuing financial solvency of the tenants, and certain other customary conditions. Accordingly, neither Lexington nor the Partnership can provide any assurance that the acquisition by the co-investment program will be completed.
