Exhibit 99.1 FINANCIAL RELATIONS BOARD NEWS RE: LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST ONE PENN PLAZA SUITE 4015 NEW YORK, NY 10119 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: AT THE COMPANY: AT FINANCIAL RELATIONS BOARD: Patrick Carroll Diane Hettwer Tim Grace Chief Financial Officer Analyst Inquiries Media Inquiries (212) 692-7200 (312) 640-6760 (312) 640-6667 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, November 30, 2004 LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST PROVIDES UPDATE ON VARTEC LEASE New York, NY - November 30, 2004 - Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (NYSE:LXP) ("Lexington"), a real estate investment trust, today reported that VarTec Telecom, Inc. ("VarTec"), Lexington's current tenant at its Dallas, Texas office property (the "Property"), filed a motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas to reject the lease of the Property. A hearing on the motion has been set for December 17, 2004. As Lexington previously reported, VarTec filed a petition for bankruptcy protection on November 1, 2004. Comments From Management Commenting on the motion, T. Wilson Eglin, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The motion to reject the lease for our Dallas, Texas office property was expected. We are actively searching for a new tenant for the Property. Nevertheless, we are anticipating a vacancy of the Property for most, if not all, of 2005. If our revised estimate of $600 million of investment volume for 2005 is achieved, we believe earnings from our expanded acquisition activities have the potential to mitigate the cash flow disruption caused by a vacancy of the Property. Accordingly, we continue to believe that we can generate funds from operations per share of $1.85-$1.90, as we previously expected. However, as a result of the expected rejection of the lease, we will incur a fourth quarter non-cash charge of approximately $2.8 million due to the write-off of deferred rent receivable and lease costs."

("NAREIT") as "net income (or loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity to other consolidated income or cash flow statement data as determined in accordance with GAAP.
