Exhibit 99.1

BankAtlantic  Bancorp  Announces  Plans  for  Spin-Off  Of Its Real  Estate
Development Subsidiary - Levitt Corporation


     FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 3/ -- BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BBX)
today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized management to
initiate a process to separate its real estate development subsidiary, Levitt
Corporation, from BankAtlantic Bancorp through a tax-free spin-off which would
result in Levitt Corporation becoming a separate publicly traded company.

     BankAtlantic Bancorp intends to request a private letter ruling from the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that the distribution of Levitt's shares to
BankAtlantic Bancorp's shareholders will be tax-free to BankAtlantic Bancorp and
to holders of BankAtlantic Bancorp stock. Subject to receipt of the private
letter ruling and any required regulatory approval, BankAtlantic Bancorp would
expect the Levitt Corporation spin-off to take place in the third or fourth
quarter of this year.


     Chief Executive Officer Alan B. Levan noted, "Levitt has grown
significantly in the past several years, and has clearly established a
successful track record. In deciding on this course of action, we determined
that Levitt Corporation's future growth prospects would be better met as a
free-standing entity, with independent access to capital and debt markets.
Further, we believe this action will augment the ability of our banking
subsidiary, BankAtlantic, to expand its capital access and improve its growth
potential. Both companies anticipate accessing the capital markets to fund this
growth, and this transaction we believe will assist in those financings. As an
added benefit, we believe institutional investors, traditional bank investors
and Wall Street in general prefer a more conventional business structure. While
most financial service investors understand the value of the combined
traditional synergies of community banking (BankAtlantic) and investment banking
and retail brokerage (Ryan Beck & Co.), we believe that many investors perceive
a "disconnect" between these financial services entities and our real estate
development subsidiary. Levitt Corporation has delivered solid results and has
been a consistent performer. However, we do not believe Levitt's value and
contribution has been fully reflected in the pricing of BankAtlantic Bancorp's
stock. In spinning off Levitt Corporation, we would be returning BankAtlantic
Bancorp to its more traditional roots as a Florida-based financial services and
banking company, creating a separate, premier real estate development company.
As a result, our hope is to unlock shareholder value, increase investor
interest, and result in each company trading at multiples more comparable with
their respective market sector peer groups."

     "After completion of this proposed transaction, Levitt Corporation would be
owned by the shareholders of BankAtlantic Bancorp on a basis that mirrors their
present holdings. Based on certain assumptions utilized, in 2002 the new
publicly held Levitt Corporation would have had gross revenues of $207.8
million, cost of sales of $159.7 million, after tax earnings of $19.6 million,
and equity of $97.4 million, if this transaction had been in place for the full
year. The book value of BankAtlantic Bancorp was $8.05 per share at December 31,
2002. After giving effect to the dividend of the Levitt shares in the spin-off,
the book value of the BankAtlantic Bancorp shares would have been approximately
$6.38 per share, if the transaction had been in place December 31, 2002. Levitt
anticipates effecting a "reverse split" of its stock to bring the book value per
share of the post-spin Levitt to a normal range. Attached are pro-forma
financial statements for Levitt Corporation and BankAtlantic Bancorp reflecting
the proposed spin-off."

     Mr. Levan continued, "While we are extremely proud of our record results of
BankAtlantic and Levitt in 2002, we are mindful of the enormous opportunities
that await us and the competitive advantage our strategies and initiatives have
helped to create." Some of the highlights from 2002 for Levitt Corporation and
BankAtlantic include:


Levitt Corporation:


     The Levitt Corporation spin-off will include all of the Levitt 100% owned
subsidiaries including Levitt and Sons, Core Communities, and Levitt Commercial.
Levitt Corporation also maintains a 40% ownership interest in Bluegreen
Corporation (NYSE: BXG).


     Levitt and Sons is America's oldest homebuilder and America's first builder
of planned suburban communities, and is best known for creating New York's
Levittown, Long Island and Levittown, PA. After building approximately 200,000
homes in over 74 years, the Levitt legacy continues and currently develops
single and multi-family homes for active adults and families throughout Florida.

Core Communities develops master-planned communities in Florida, including its
original and best known, St. Lucie West. St. Lucie West, the fastest growing
community on Florida's Treasure Coast for the last 7 years, is a 4,600-acre
community with 4,000 built and occupied homes, 150 businesses employing 5,000
people and a university campus. Core Communities' newest master-planned
community is "Tradition". Now under development on Florida's Treasure Coast in
St. Lucie County, Tradition will feature 5,600 residences, a commercial town
center and a world-class corporate park.


Levitt Commercial specializes in development, re-development, and joint venture
opportunities in industrial and retail properties.


Bluegreen Corporation:


In 2002, the Company together with Levitt Corporation acquired a 40% ownership
interest in Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG - ). Bluegreen Corp. engages in the
acquisition, development, marketing and sale of drive-to vacation resorts, golf
communities and residential land. Bluegreen's resorts are located in a variety
of popular vacation destinations throughout the United States, Florida, and
Aruba. Bluegreen land operations are predominantly located in the Southeastern
and Southwestern United States.

     Levitt Corporation:
     Full Year, 2002 Compared to Full Year, 2001
     * Pretax income increased to $25.8 million vs. $11.6 million in the prior
       year, an increase of 122%.
     * Return on tangible equity improved to 15.3% from 10.6% in 2001. * Total
     revenue increased 47% to $56.7 million, up from $38.6 million.

In 2002, BankAtlantic changed the landscape of banking in Florida through its
"Florida's Most Convenient Bank" initiative. This initiative includes free
checking accounts, seven day branch banking, extended lobby hours, a 24 hour
live customer service center and dozens of new product and service initiatives
with the goal of branding BankAtlantic as the most innovative, entrepreneurial,
and convenient bank in Florida.

As a result of the transformation of BankAtlantic, we were successful in
increasing the percentage of low cost deposits (demand, NOW and savings
accounts) to total deposits from 27% to 35%, at the end of 2002. These low cost
deposits grew $212 million, a 35% year-over-year increase on a "same store"
basis. Across our system, we opened approximately 77,000 new demand and NOW
checking accounts in 2002, a level approximately 134% higher than our experience
in 2001.

With the combination of our increased visibility resulting from our "Florida's
Most Convenient Bank" initiative, which includes the strong branding powered by
our seven-day branch banking initiatives, the largest Florida-based bank branch
network, 51 years of experience, "Totally Free" Checking and our menu of diverse
and differentiated products and services, and the many core advantages that
distinguish us from other Florida banks, we believe BankAtlantic is a pioneer in
banking and financial services in Florida.

     BankAtlantic:
     Full Year, 2002 Compared to Full Year, 2001
     * Total average loans grew to $3.5 billion vs. $3.0 billion, an increase
       of 17%.
     * Average commercial real estate loans increased to $1.5 billion vs.
       $1.1 billion, an increase of 36%.
     * Average residential loans increased to $1.4 billion vs. $1.3 billion,
       an increase of 8%.
     * Average small business loans increased to $146 million vs. $98 million,
       an increase of 49%
     * Annual average total deposits increased to $2.9 billion vs.

       increased to $2.4 billion vs. $2.3 billion.
     * Average low cost deposits increased 51% to $865 million.  Excluding
       acquisitions, low cost deposits increased to $706 million vs.
       $572 million.
     * Non-interest bearing demand deposits now constitute 16% of deposit
       balances, up from 13% last year.
     * Net charge offs declined to 0.57% of average loans vs. 0.64%. *
     Non-performing assets decreased to $29.9 million vs. $42.9 million *
     Non-interest income increased to $53.3 million vs. $37.5 million, or
       42%.

     BankAtlantic Bancorp:
     Full Year, 2002 Compared to Full Year, 2001
     * Net income for 2002 was a record $50.3 million, an increase of 56%,
       compared to $32.2 million in 2001.
     * On a per share basis (fully diluted), net income for 2002 increased 25%
       to $0.81, from $0.65 during the corresponding 2001 period.
     * Return on tangible equity was 14.14% vs. 12.87%.

Mr. Levan concluded, "We believe the proposed spin-off is a win-win scenario for
our shareholders. The banking and the real estate sectors have been two of the
strongest and most durable segments in Florida's economy and we have enjoyed
being a leader in both of these sectors."

Matters discussed in this press release contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those
contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained
herein. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations
of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are,
in many instances, beyond the Company's control, including that the conditions
relating to regulatory approval and the tax-free nature of the spin-off may not
be met, that business, economic, or market conditions may make the spin-off less
advantageous to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt, that Levitt will not be
successful as an separate publicly traded company, that it will not have
additional access to capital or debt markets or that such markets may prove to
be more expensive than currently available, that the Board may in the future
conclude that it is not in the best interest of the Company or the shareholders
to pursue the spin-off and other factors detailed in reports filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including specifically
those factors relating to Levitt's growth and operations. Further, the attached
pro forma information provided may not be indicative of the results or financial
positions of the separate companies after the spin-off. The assumptions utilized
and the adjustments made in connection with the preparation of the pro forma may
not prove to be accurate.

                              PRO FORMA INFORMATION

The following unaudited Summary Pro Forma Statements of Financial Condition of
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. ("BBX") and Levitt Corporation ("Levitt") as of
December 31, 2002, and the unaudited Pro Forma Summary Statements of Operations
for the year ended December 31, 2002, have been prepared to reflect the
distribution of Levitt's common stock to BBX's shareholders through a tax-free
spin-off. Additionally the following transactions were assumed to have occurred
prior to the spin-off: (i) the transfer of ownership of BBX's interest in
Bluegreen Corporation to Levitt; and (ii) Levitt issues a $13.5 million note to
BBX as a dividend. The accounting for the spin-off represents a transfer of
nonmonetary assets to BBX's shareholders in a reorganization of companies under
common control and, accordingly, will be reflected at historical cost.


The unaudited Summary Pro Forma Statements of Financial Condition have been
prepared as if the spin-off and the spin-off transactions occurred on December
31, 2002. The unaudited Pro forma Summary Statements of Operations have been
prepared as if the spin-off and the spin-off transactions occurred on January 1,
2002. The unaudited pro forma financial information set forth below was prepared
based on available information and upon certain assumptions that management
believes are reasonable but such information is not necessarily indicative of
the results that would actually have occurred if the spin-off and the spin-off
transactions had been consummated as of December 31, 2002, or January 1, 2002,
or results which may be obtained in the future.


         The Consolidating Pro Forma Worksheets summarize (i) the adjustments
that were eliminated in consolidation in the BankAtlantic Bancorp financial
statements as originally reported that are reflected as assets, liabilities,
income and expenses in the pro forma post spin-off financial statements, as well
as, (ii) the affect of the spin-off transactions on BBX's and Levitt's pro forma
financial statements.

    Notes:
    1) These pro forma schedules reflect the statements of financial condition
       and statements of operations for BankAtlantic Bancorp as originally
       reported for the year ended December 31, 2002, and as they would have
       been reported for BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt Corporation if the
       proposed spin-off had occurred as of January 1, 2002.

    2) Included in the pro forma statements of financial condition and the pro
       forma statements of operations were adjustments that were eliminated in
       consolidation in the BankAtlantic Bancorp financial statements as
       originally reported that became assets, liabilities, income and expenses
       upon post spin-off in the pro forma financial statements.

    3) Certain adjustments have been made relating to the transfer of ownership
       of BankAtlantic Bancorp's interest in Bluegreen Corporation and
       adjustments to the debt owed by Levitt to BankAtlantic Bancorp. These
       adjustments reflect management's current plans for structuring this
       transaction.

    4) Gains on the sale of real estate and joint venture activity is presented
       net of cost of sales. Levitt's pro forma includes gross revenues from
       real estate activity of $207.8 million, costs associated with those sales
       of $159.7 million and income from joint venture activities of
       approximately $400,000.

     * Net income as determined by GAAP is adjusted to "operating net income" by
       adjusting for itemized extraordinary and non-operating items. The Company
       believes that this adjustment is appropriate so as to allow investors to
       see financial information on the same basis as used by management in
       evaluating its various operations.
