Indianapolis, Ind., November 6, 2006 – Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (“the Company”) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Financial statements and exhibits attached to this release include results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

| | |
| • | FFO of $0.30 per diluted share |
| | |

Financial and Operating Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, Funds from Operations (FFO), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, for the Kite Portfolio was $11.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. The average number of diluted shares and units outstanding was 37,383,601 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and 27,871,048 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The increased number of shares reflects the Company’s follow-on stock offering in October 2005, the proceeds of which were used to finance development activities and pay down debt. The Company’s allocable share of diluted FFO was $8.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to the Company’s allocable share of $5.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, FFO for the Kite Portfolio was $31.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, compared to $24.1 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. The average number of diluted shares and units outstanding was 37,341,949 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 27,717,151 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company’s allocable share of diluted FFO was $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the Company’s allocable share of $16.7 million for the same period in 2005.
Given the nature of the Company’s business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of operating properties and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included in the attached table.
The Company’s total revenue for the third quarter of 2006 increased 38% to $33.1 million from $24.0 million for the same period in 2005. The Company’s net income was $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2005.
The Company’s total revenue for the first nine months of 2006 increased 41% to $92.4 million from $65.5 million for the same period in 2005. The Company’s net income was $6.5 million for the first nine months of 2006, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2005.
“We are pleased to report continued solid results across all areas of our business,” said John A. Kite, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our development pipeline is robust and expanding as we continue to add new development projects. Our new partnership with Prudential Real Estate Investors will provide us with an opportunity to grow our development activities while deferring the need for significant equity contributions until projects become operational.”
Operating Portfolio
As of September 30, 2006, the Company owned interests in 46 retail operating properties totaling approximately 7.8 million square feet, including an additional phase of its Stoney Creek Commons property in Indianapolis, Indiana, which was added to the operating portfolio in September 2006. The owned gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the Company’s retail operating portfolio was 93.6% leased at quarter end, compared to 93.0% leased as of the end of the prior quarter. In addition, the Company owned four commercial operating properties totaling 562,652 square feet and a related parking garage. As of September 30, 2006, the owned net rentable area of the commercial operating portfolio was 96.9% leased, equal to the percentage leased as of the end of the prior quarter.

Development Activities
As of September 30, 2006, the Company owned interests in 11 retail properties under development that are expected to total approximately 1.6 million square feet. Approximately 588,000 square feet are anticipated to be owned by the Company. The remaining square footage will be owned by anchors upon completion of the developments. The total estimated cost of these projects is $165 million, of which approximately $108 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2006. Approximately 70% of the owned GLA at properties in the development pipeline is currently leased or in various stages of lease negotiations.
On September 25, 2006, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement (“the Venture”) with Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”) to pursue joint venture opportunities for the development and selected acquisition of community shopping centers in the United States. PREI entered into the agreement on behalf of its institutional investors. The Venture intends to develop and/or acquire up to $1.25 billion of well-positioned community shopping centers in strategic markets in the United States. Under the terms of the Venture agreement, the Company has agreed to present to PREI opportunities to develop or acquire community shopping centers, each with estimated project costs in excess of $50 million. It is expected that equity capital contributions of up to $500 million would be made to the Venture for qualifying projects. Contributions would be made on a project-by-project basis with PREI contributing 80% and the Company contributing 20% of the equity capital. Equity capital has not been committed by either party at this time. The parties anticipate capital contributions to be required at or near the time of development stabilization or at the time a property acquisition is identified in the future. The Company will generate fee income from managing any shopping centers developed or acquired under this arrangement and will receive additional fees for development, leasing and construction management services. The Company will also have the opportunity to earn performance-based incentives.
The Company’s Parkside Town Commons development near Raleigh, North Carolina is the first project that the Company intends to pursue in the joint venture with PREI. Parkside Town Commons is a mixed-use development which is expected to include approximately 750,000 square feet of retail space and an estimated project cost of approximately $118 million.
During the third quarter of 2006, construction commenced on Bayport Commons in Oldsmar, Florida, a suburb of Tampa. The Company subsequently transferred this property to the current development pipeline. This development has a projected total cost of approximately $25 million and will include approximately 281,100 square feet of total GLA (92,300 square feet of Company-owned GLA) and three outparcels. Target has purchased a pad and is constructing a Super Target to anchor this center.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company executed 26 new leases for 128,500 square feet of GLA, including leases with PetSmart at Traders Point and Ross Stores at Gateway Shopping Center.
