FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FOREST CITY REPORTS
FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
        o        NET EARNINGS INCREASES 45 PERCENT TO $0.29 PER SHARE
        o        REVENUES OF $243.9 MILLION UP 15.4 PERCENT
        o        EBDT INCREASES 29.1 PERCENT TO $1.02 PER SHARE


CLEVELAND - JUNE 11, 2003 - FOREST CITY ENTERPRISES, INC. (NYSE: FCEA AND FCEB)
today announced increased net earnings, revenues and EBDT for the first fiscal
quarter of 2003 ended April 30, 2003 as compared to the first fiscal quarter of
2002 ended April 30, 2002.

The Company reported net earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2003 of $14.8
million, or $0.29 per share, compared with $10.1 million, or $0.20 per share, in
2002. First quarter consolidated revenues increased 15.4 percent to $243.9
million compared with $211.4 million a year earlier.

EBDT (Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes) for the
first quarter was $51.4 million, or $1.02 per share, a 29.1 percent increase on
a per share basis over last year's first-quarter EBDT of $39.9 million, or $0.79
per share.

EBDT is a non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure that is
provided here as a supplement to GAAP net earnings and net earnings per share.
The Company believes net earnings is the most comparable GAAP measure to EBDT. A
reconciliation of net earnings to EBDT is provided in the financial highlights
table section of this news release. While property dispositions, acquisitions or
other factors can impact net earnings in the short term, the Company believes
EBDT gives a more consistent view of Forest City's overall financial performance
from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Charles A. Ratner, president and chief executive officer of Forest City
Enterprises, said, "We achieved good first-quarter results despite real estate
fundamentals that continue to be challenging. We exceeded the prior-year first
quarter with EBDT of $1.02 per share, an increase of 29.1 percent over 2002. The
timing of certain transactions increased our first quarter results. This
increase in EBDT per share is not indicative of future quarterly performance or
projected annual results for 2003."



Mr. Ratner continued, "In the second quarter, the Company will incur $12.5
million in one-time expenses related to our recent bond offering (described
below). Despite these expenses, we expect to exceed last year's EBDT. These
results will be driven primarily as a result of new property EBDT generated from
24 project openings and acquisitions that occurred during 2002 and five
residential communities added to our portfolio during the first quarter of 2003.
Our pipeline features more than two dozen projects under construction or
development - some of the most exciting projects in our history. Our comparative
net operating income for the first quarter was down 1.8 percent compared to last
year, but this is a more modest decrease than we have recently experienced."

PUBLIC DEBT OFFERING
- --------------------
The Company recently took advantage of favorable conditions in the corporate
bond market. In May 2003, the Company issued $300 million of 7.625 percent
senior notes, due June 1, 2015. Mr. Ratner commented, "We found the opportunity
to extend the maturity of our notes while lowering our interest rate and
improving our liquidity quite compelling. We were also pleased that our offering
received exceptionally strong support in the marketplace. Several of our
original bondholders participated in this new offering."

After payment of $7.6 million for offering costs, the Company will use $208.5
million of the proceeds to redeem, in June 2003, all of its outstanding 8.5
percent senior notes due in 2008 at a redemption price equal to 104.25 percent.
The remainder of the proceeds, $84 million, were immediately used to repay $73
million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Company's long-term
credit facility and for general working capital purposes.

Mr. Ratner continued, "Forest City continues to identify opportunities to invest
its capital at good returns with favorable financing spreads. We anticipate
investing the net proceeds of the offering in new real estate opportunities
which will generate future EBDT for the Company."

As a result of this offering, in the second quarter of 2003, the Company will
incur a one-time expense of $12.5 million (pre-tax) and unamortized debt
procurement costs relating to the redeemed 8.5 percent senior notes.

DIVIDEND INCREASE
- -----------------
The Company's Board of Directors declared an increased quarterly cash dividend
of $.09 (annual rate of $.36) per share for both Class A and B. This 50 percent
increase over the previous quarter's dividend rate is in response to recent tax
law changes which lowered the maximum tax rate on dividends to 15 percent.






Mr. Ratner said, "Forest City remains committed to our capital strategy and
believes our structure as a C-Corp provides us distinct advantages. We can
reinvest the vast majority of our earnings in our existing portfolio as well as
new real estate opportunities to generate attractive investment returns. This
increase, while not meant to raise the Company's dividend yield to that of the
REIT industry, provides a unique opportunity to pass along additional liquidity
to our shareholders."

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------
During the first quarter of 2003 Forest City has announced notable achievements
with respect to several of its large, complex developments in New York City,
Denver and California, three of the Company's core markets.


                                  NEW YORK CITY

During the first quarter, Forest City completed construction of its first rental
apartment building in the Foley Square area of Manhattan. The 20-story, 329-unit
WORTH STREET building in the heart of New York City includes studios, one- and
two-bedroom apartments and retail space. It is strategically located within
walking distance of the Tribeca, Soho, Chinatown and City Hall districts of the
City. The apartments have been well received in the market and are currently 67
percent leased after only a few months of marketing. The project is expected to
stabilize by this year-end.

Recently, Forest City announced the "topping out" of its 10-story,
400,000-square-foot ATLANTIC TERMINAL office building in downtown Brooklyn. This
project is being constructed in the air-rights above the 373,000-square-foot
ATLANTIC TERMINAL retail center. The Bank of New York will be the building's
primary tenant. Atlantic Terminal is the first office development in New York
City to use tax-exempt New York State Liberty Bond financing (totaling
approximately $114 million), which was created to assist in the redevelopment
and relocation of tenants impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The building is scheduled to open in 2004.

In the first quarter, Forest City finalized the 20 year lease renewal and
extension of approximately 275,000 square feet with Bear Stearns at One
MetroTech Center in Brooklyn. A significant accomplishment, this agreement
represents the largest lease rollover in the MetroTech Office Campus to date.


                               DENVER - STAPLETON

2003 is expected to be a year of significant milestones at Stapleton, where our
redevelopment of Denver's former airport has continued to take shape as one of
the premier new urban infill communities in the nation.

Stapleton has continued where it left off in 2002, experiencing strong demand
for single-family lots. At the end of the first quarter, Forest City had sold
more than 800 lots to homebuilders, who had sold 630 homes to homebuyers,
representing approximately 95 percent of the units they have released. In
addition, 180 homes are under development in a special Affordable Housing
Program. Over 350 families are now living at Stapleton and more continue to move
in each week.



During the first quarter, Forest City started construction on the new EAST 29TH
AVENUE TOWN CENTER. This community-based center will feature 145,000 square feet
of "main street" retail space anchored by a 58,000-square-foot King Soopers
grocery store. In addition, it will include 40,000 square feet of office space
and 144 apartment units - all leading to a 2-acre town green.

Progress in the first residential neighborhood also continued during the first
quarter with the construction of the new Denver Public Schools campus that will
open in August. The campus will house a traditional elementary school and an
expeditionary learning school. Stapleton will also be home to the Denver School
of Science and Technology, a charter public high school that will provide
specialized programming for young people who are preparing for careers in new
technologies.

Nearby, work is continuing on the 80 acres of Westerly Creek Park and a new
45-acre greenway that is part of the first phase of more than 1,100 new acres of
parks and open space at Stapleton. Also during the quarter, Forest City's
development partner TP Development LLC began work on ROSLYN COURT, the first
homes for sale at Stapleton that will be restricted for purchase by police
officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses and others with "work force" incomes.


                                   CALIFORNIA

In February, Forest City and Westfield America announced an intended business
agreement to jointly develop and market adjacent retail sites in downtown San
Francisco to create one of the nation's largest urban retail destinations - and
the largest urban shopping center west of the Mississippi. Forest City is the
developer of the 835 MARKET STREET project, and Westfield America is the owner
of San Francisco Centre. The interconnected venues, which will connect at five
levels, will feature the second-largest Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom department
stores in the country, a state-of-the-art theater complex and more than 200
specialty stores.

Progress continues at Forest City's VICTORIA GARDENS in Rancho Cucamonga,
California. Continued demand for space at this 1.3 million-square-foot, open-air
retail center is evidenced by Robinsons-May's recent approval of its plans for a
two-story, 180,000-square-foot anchor department store at the center.
Robinsons-May will join a 180,000-square-foot Macy's, a 16-screen AMC megaplex
theater, a community Cultural Arts Center, and more than 100 specialty shops and
restaurants, many of which will be new to the Inland Empire region of Southern
California. The Company expects to open the project in the fall of 2004.

During the first quarter, Forest City began development of METROPOLITAN LOFTS, a
$58 million, eight-story, 264-unit loft-style development in Los Angeles'
growing South Park neighborhood, near the downtown financial district. In
addition to the residential units, Met Lofts will include more than 11,000
square feet of retail space and an attached above-ground parking structure.
Forest City announced during the quarter that the project has received a $54
million investment from MacFarlane Partners, one of the foremost



minority investment firms in the country. Its investment comes in the form of a
$54 million loan guarantee made through a joint venture with CalPERS (California
Public Employees' Retirement System).

In May, Forest City announced the start of construction on the redevelopment of
the historic SUBWAY TERMINAL BUILDING in downtown Los Angeles. Forest City's
plans for the historic preservation and adaptive re-use of the building include
transforming the upper floors, formerly a 12-story office building, into 277
loft-style apartments. The lower floors, which housed the former train station,
are expected to be redeveloped for commercial tenants at a later date.

The first phases of both projects, MET LOFTS and SUBWAY TERMINAL, are scheduled
to be completed in 2004.

The adaptive re-use of older structures into apartments has become a significant
and profitable segment of our Residential business. To date we have redeveloped
over 1,200 units in six communities, retaining the historic character of the
neighborhoods in which we develop while providing quality housing to the
communities we serve.


                            RESIDENTIAL ACQUISITIONS

During the first quarter of 2003 Forest City completed two opportunistic
acquisitions in Florida which fit the Company's approach to acquire properties
with attractive spreads between cash on cost and cost of capital. Our
Residential Group acquired 50 percent interests in two apartment communities:
COLONIAL GRAND, a 176-unit apartment complex in Tampa, and COLONY PLACE, a
300-unit community in Fort Myers. Occupancy is currently at 90 percent for both
properties. The Company also acquired limited partnership interests in two
Federally Assisted Housing projects in which the Company is the general partner.

FINANCING SUMMARY
- -----------------
Forest City has been aggressively taking advantage of current interest rates and
attractive debt markets for its project financings, with primary emphasis on
locking in fixed rate nonrecourse mortgages. During the first quarter of 2003,
Forest City closed on transactions totaling $162.1 million in nonrecourse
mortgage financings, including $42.2 million in refinancings, $28.4 million in
extensions and $91.5 million for new development projects.

At April 30, 2003, the Company's weighted average cost of mortgage debt
decreased to 5.99 percent from 6.47 percent at April 30, 2002, primarily due to
the general decrease in variable interest rates. Variable rate mortgage debt,
which represented 31 percent of the Company's total nonrecourse mortgage debt,
decreased from 4.77 percent at April 30, 2002 to 3.81 percent at April 30, 2003.
Fixed-rate mortgage debt decreased from 7.14 percent at April 30, 2002 to 6.97
percent at April 30, 2003.






OUTLOOK
- -------
Mr. Ratner commented, "We believe that 2003 will exceed last year's results and
we expect to continue to grow our cash flow and our balance sheet. New project
completions in 2003, together with the maturing projects that we have completed
in prior years, will continue to drive our growth.

"We are all well aware of the weaknesses and uncertainty in today's economy.

"We have placed a premium on remaining flexible and liquid in our business. At
the end of the quarter we had cash and credit available of approximately $160
million prior to the receipt of the excess proceeds from the bond offering. We
intend to maintain a higher level of liquidity as we continue to cope with these
uncertainties."

Forest City's CEO continued, "That said, we remain committed to completing the
projects in our pipeline and developing new opportunities. We have more than two
dozen projects under construction and under development and they provide visible
growth for our company well into the future.

"Due to the significant uncertainty in today's economy and geopolitical
environment however, we're not prepared to provide specific EBDT guidance at
this time. Despite the $12.5 million one-time expense related to our bond
offering, we are and remain confident that this year will result in an
improvement over last year's EBDT.", concluded Mr. Ratner.

CORPORATE DESCRIPTION
- ---------------------
Forest City Enterprises, Inc. is a $5 billion NYSE-listed real estate company
headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The Company is principally engaged in the
ownership, development, acquisition and management of commercial and residential
real estate throughout the United States. The Company's portfolio includes
interests in retail centers, apartment communities, office buildings and hotels
in 21 states and the District of Columbia.






DEFINITION OF EBDT
- ------------------
The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to report its
operating results. This measure, referred to as Earnings Before Depreciation,
Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not a measure of operating results
as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The Company believes
that EBDT provides additional information about its operations, and along with
net earnings, is necessary to understand its ongoing financial health. EBDT is
similar to Funds From Operations (FFO), a measure of performance used by
publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), but may not be directly
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Forest City
encourages readers of its financial information to focus on EBDT, along with net
earnings, to provide a complete and accurate picture of the Company's operating
results.

EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on
disposition of operating properties and other investments (net of tax); ii) the
adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
straight-line method; iii) noncash charges from Forest City Rental Properties
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest City Enterprises, Inc., for
depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes; iv) provision for decline
in real estate (net of tax); v) extraordinary items (net of tax); and vi)
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (net of tax). Early
extinguishment of debt is now reported in operating earnings instead of
extraordinary items. However, early extinguishment of debt is excluded from EBDT
through the year ended January 31, 2003. Beginning February 1, 2003, early
extinguishment of debt is included in EBDT.
