FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Forest City Reports Fiscal 2008 First-Quarter Results

CLEVELAND - June 5, 2008 - Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: FCEA and FCEB)
today announced EBDT, net earnings and revenues for the fiscal first quarter
ended April 30, 2008.

First-quarter EBDT (Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred
Taxes) was $16.0 million, or $0.15 per share, compared with last year's EBDT of
$34.5 million, or $0.32 per share. The Company's commercial and residential
segments provided a pre-tax EBDT increase of $15.5 million as both mature
properties and new properties performed well. This increase was offset by
project write-offs, which increased $24.1 million pre-tax ($14.8 million
after-tax) compared with last year, primarily as a result of the write-off of
Summit at Lehigh Valley, a mixed-use development opportunity in Allentown,
Pennsylvania. In addition, the Company's share of losses from its equity
investment in the New Jersey Nets basketball team increased $10.2 million ($6.9
million after-tax) compared with last year.

The fiscal 2008 first-quarter net loss was $40.3 million, or $0.39 per share,
compared with a net loss of $17.2 million, or $0.17 per share, in the 2007 first
quarter. First-quarter consolidated revenues rose to $308 million, compared with
$268 million last year. The net loss variance was driven primarily by the same
factors affecting EBDT results for the quarter. The revenue increase resulted
from new property openings, the largest of which was The New York Times Building
in Manhattan, as well as increased fees from the Company's military family
housing business.

EBDT and EBDT per share are non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP)
measures. A reconciliation of net earnings (the most directly comparable GAAP
measure to EBDT) to EBDT is provided in the Financial Highlights table in this
news release.



Discussion of Results

Charles A. Ratner, president and chief executive officer of Forest City
Enterprises, said, "The strong performance of our rental properties business was
driven by growth in comparable net operating income in all major property types,
and good occupancy results across the portfolio. In addition, military family
housing continued to be an increasing contributor to EBDT. First-quarter results
in our land development business were in line with the same period last year,
and we expect the land business to be a positive contributor to EBDT for the
year.

"The write-off of the Summit at Lehigh Valley mixed-use project is disappointing
because we pursued the opportunity for six years and still believe the site is
viable, long term, for both retail and housing. We faced delays in the public
entitlement process to fund infrastructure, as well as challenges related to the
overall slowdown in retail and housing markets. Recently, the land owner decided
to sell to the adjacent hospital system which wanted the land for future
expansion."

Summit at Lehigh Valley accounted for $21.5 million of the total $24.1 million
increase in project write-offs for the quarter.

Regarding the increased loss associated with the Nets, Ratner said, "The overall
operating loss for the team is comparable to the prior year. Our reported share
of the loss is higher because we advanced capital to fund the operating losses
on behalf of both the Company and certain non-funding partners. While these
advances receive preferential capital treatment, we report losses, including
significant non-cash losses resulting from amortization, in excess of our legal
ownership of approximately 22 percent."

NOI, Occupancies and Rent

Residential comparable property net operating income (NOI) increased 3.6 percent
in 2008 from the prior year's first quarter. Retail and office portfolio
comparable property NOI increased 3.4 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively.
Overall comparable property NOI increased 2.8 percent, reflecting the impact of
lower quarterly comparable property results from the Company's small hotel
portfolio. Comparable property NOI, defined as NOI from properties operated in
both 2008 and 2007, is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is based on the
pro-rata consolidation method, also a non-GAAP financial measure. Included in
this release is a schedule that presents comparable property NOI on the full
consolidation method.

Fiscal 2008 first-quarter comparable occupancies remained solid, though down
modestly in some areas compared with the same period a year ago. Comparable
average occupancies in the residential business were 95.2 percent compared with
95.1 percent last year. Comparable retail occupancies were 92.9 percent in 2008
compared with 94.0 percent in 2007, and regional mall sales averaged $452 per
square foot. Comparable office occupancies were 91.2 percent compared with 93.0
percent last year. Comparable residential net rental income remained strong at
93.2 percent.



First-Quarter Milestones

Openings

During the first quarter, Forest City opened six projects, representing $544.0
million of cost at the Company's pro-rata share and $458.8 million at full
consolidation. Including the projects opened during the first quarter, a total
of 10 projects are scheduled to open in fiscal 2008. Total planned openings for
the year represent more than $785 million of cost at the Company's pro-rata
share and approximately $677 million at full consolidation.

Retail and office openings during the first quarter included:

o     The Orchard Town Center, a 983,000-square-foot open-air lifestyle center
      in Westminster, Colorado, which is anchored by JCPenney, Macy's,
      SuperTarget and a 12-screen AMC movie theater. The center has executed
      leases or is in lease documentation for more than 60 percent of the
      non-anchor space.

o     855 North Wolfe Street, the first of five buildings planned for The
      Science + Technology Park at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. The
      278,000-square-foot Class A office building, which is 45 percent leased or
      in lease documentation, includes tenants BioMarker Strategies, Cangen
      Biotechnologies, Inc., The Johns Hopkins Institute for Basic Biomedical
      Sciences, and The Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Three residential properties, all of which utilize some form of tax-advantaged
financing, also opened during the first quarter: the 131-unit Lucky Strike
Building at the Company's Tobacco Row adaptive reuse apartment community in
Richmond, Virginia; the initial phase of the 665-unit Uptown Apartments in
center city Oakland; and the first phase of the 366-unit Mercantile Place on
Main redevelopment in Dallas.

Transactions

In New York City, Forest City closed on $680 million in construction financing
for the mixed-use Beekman development - the largest financing in the Company's
history. The $680 million in bonds, of which approximately $204 million comes
from the New York Liberty Bond Program, are being issued by the New York City
Housing Development Corporation. In addition, in late May, Forest City and
architect Frank Gehry unveiled the latest plans and design for the building,
which recently received praise from a leading architecture critic. Beekman is
under construction and expected to open in 2010 as one of New York City's
tallest residential high-rises at 76 stories.

Also in New York, and as previously disclosed in a May 12, 2008 filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company acquired Bruce C. Ratner's
interests in two properties, the New York Times Building and Twelve MetroTech
Center, both of which recently stabilized. These transactions are part of the
New York City portfolio restructuring agreement between Forest City Enterprises,
Inc. and Bruce Ratner, which was previously announced on August 10, 2006. Five
New York projects - Ridge Hill, East River Plaza, Beekman, 80 DeKalb, and Mill
Basin - remain under construction or under development and are also covered by
the same agreement.



Development Pipeline

A schedule of the Company's pipeline of projects under construction is included
in this news release. The schedule includes comparable project costs on both a
full consolidation and pro-rata share basis. Highlighted below are several of
the Company's projects under construction or under development.

Projects Under Construction

At the end of the first quarter, 12 projects (counting various military housing
initiatives as a single project) were under construction or to be acquired,
representing $2.4 billion of cost at the Company's pro-rata share and $1.9
billion at full consolidation. The Company currently has six retail projects
under construction and two are expected to open later in the year:

o     The Shops at Wiregrass, located in Tampa, one of the fastest-growing
      markets in Florida. The 646,000-square-foot open-air lifestyle center
      recently announced 42 new tenant leases and is currently 78 percent
      pre-leased.

o     White Oak Village, a 792,000-square-foot lifestyle/power center near
      Richmond that is currently 88 percent pre-leased and will feature anchors
      JCPenney, Lowe's, Target, and Sam's Club.

Also under construction, and expected to open in 2009, are two retail projects
in the Company's New York City core market, Ridge Hill and East River Plaza,
which represent a combined 1.7 million square feet of retail space, at a
combined cost of approximately $874.4 million at the Company's pro-rata share
and $670.7 million at full consolidation.

Projects Under Development

At the end of the first quarter, Forest City had more than 15 projects under
development, representing approximately $1.2 billion of cost at the Company's
pro-rata share and on a full consolidation basis.

Residential projects under development include:

o     80 DeKalb, a 365-unit apartment community in Brooklyn where construction
      is expected to begin later this year.

o     Presidio, a 161-unit apartment community in San Francisco at the foot of
      the Golden Gate Bridge, expected to begin construction in late 2008.

At the 9,000-acre mixed-use Mesa del Sol development in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
the Company has secured commitments for a total of more than 450,000 square feet
of commercial space from Sony Pictures Imageworks, Fidelity Investments, and
SCHOTT Solar, Inc. In addition, the Company recently began construction on Mesa
del Sol's first, 74,000-square-foot town center, which is expected to be
completed later in the year.

In February, Forest City received favorable decisions from the New York State
Supreme Court and a federal appeals court regarding Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn.
These rulings are key milestones in the Company's ability to move forward with
the development. Site work continues and the Company now controls more than 85
percent of the land on the 22-acre site.



During the quarter, construction began on the first two buildings, totaling
628,000 square feet, at the Waterfront redevelopment in Southwest Washington,
D.C. All of the approximately 543,000 square feet of office space in the
buildings is pre-leased to the District of Columbia. In addition, approximately
71,400 square feet of retail space in the buildings is already committed to
relocate existing tenants at the site. Waterfront is ultimately expected to
feature up to 1.2 million square feet of office space, an estimated 1,000
residential units, and 110,000 square feet of stores and restaurants.

At The Yards, also in Washington, D.C., the Company expects to begin
construction later this year on a 44,000-square-foot town center-type project
and a 170-unit apartment building at the 42-acre site. The development is
expected to include up to 2,800 residential units, 1.8 million square feet of
office space, and 400,000 square feet of retail and dining space - in the
neighborhood of the newly opened Washington Nationals baseball park.

Financing Activity

During the first quarter, Forest City closed on transactions totaling $1.5
billion in nonrecourse mortgage financings, including $480.0 million in
refinancings, $812.1 million in development, and $209.7 million in loan
extensions and additional fundings.

As of April 30, 2008, the Company's weighted average cost of mortgage debt
decreased to 5.61 percent from 6.07 percent at April 30, 2007, primarily due to
the decrease in variable interest rates. Fixed-rate mortgage debt including
variable debt that is effectively fixed through interest rate swaps, which
represented 76 percent of the Company's total nonrecourse mortgage debt,
decreased from 6.18 percent at April 30, 2007 to 6.07 percent at April 30, 2008.
Variable-rate mortgage debt decreased from 5.71 percent at April 30, 2007 to
4.14 percent at April 30, 2008.

The Company began the year with approximately $842 million of loans maturing in
2008, and has successfully refinanced or extended all but $257 million as of the
end of the first quarter. At April 30, 2008, the Company has less than $720
million of loans scheduled to mature in 2009.

Outlook

Ratner said, "Overall, we continue to be pleased by the strength evident in both
our commercial and residential rental-property portfolios. In addition, our
development pipeline remains invested in attractive, viable projects that will
create significant new value as they are completed and stabilized.

"As previously mentioned, we are disappointed that we could not proceed with the
Summit at Lehigh Valley, but we prudently abandoned the project and have written
off the related costs. We are well aware of the risks inherent in the real
estate development business, even as we continue to seek new opportunities. As
always, we will use a disciplined approach in evaluating new development. We
closely monitor our operating portfolio, development pipeline and land
development business, and are comfortable with the strength of our balance
sheet.

"It is clear that the economy is slowing and that consumer confidence is very
weak. We see no sign of a significant turnaround in the near term. Accordingly,
we continue to have a cautious outlook.



"That said, our positive operating fundamentals, continued access to nonrecourse
financing, and good liquidity, give us confidence in our position in the near
term and as real estate markets recover and strengthen in the longer term. We
expect these factors, together with new project openings and a positive
contribution from our land business, to provide growth over the prior year in
future quarters."

Corporate Description

Forest City Enterprises, Inc. is a $10.5 billion NYSE-listed national real
estate company. The Company is principally engaged in the ownership,
development, management and acquisition of commercial and residential real
estate and land throughout the United States.

Supplemental Package

Please refer to the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at
www.forestcity.net for a Supplemental Package, which the Company will also
furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. This Supplemental
Package includes operating and financial information for the quarter ended April
30, 2008, with reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBDT,
comparable property NOI and pro-rata financial statements, to their most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBDT

The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to report its
operating results. This non-GAAP measure, referred to as Earnings Before
Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not a measure of
operating results or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and may not
be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that EBDT provides additional information about its core
operations and, along with net earnings, is necessary to understand its
operating results. EBDT is used by the chief operating decision maker and
management in assessing operating performance and to consider capital
requirements and allocation of resources by segment and on a consolidated basis.
The Company believes EBDT is important to investors because it provides another
method for the investor to measure its long-term operating performance as net
earnings can vary from year to year due to property dispositions, acquisitions
and other factors that have a short-term impact.

EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on
disposition of rental properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax);
ii) the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
straight-line method; iii) non-cash charges for real estate depreciation,
amortization, amortization of mortgage procurement costs and deferred income
taxes; iv) preferred payment which is classified as minority interest expense on
the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations; v) provision for decline in
real estate (net of tax); vi) extraordinary items (net of tax); and vii)
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (net of tax). Unlike the
real estate segments, EBDT for the Nets segment equals net earnings.



EBDT is reconciled to net earnings, the most comparable financial measure
calculated in accordance with GAAP, in the table titled Financial Highlights
below and in the Company's Supplemental Package, which the Company will also
furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K. The adjustment to recognize rental revenues and
rental expenses on the straight-line method is excluded because it is
management's opinion that rental revenues and expenses should be recognized when
due from the tenants or due to the landlord. The Company excludes depreciation
and amortization expense related to real estate operations from EBDT because it
believes the values of its properties, in general, have appreciated over time in
excess of their original cost. Deferred taxes from real estate operations, which
are the result of timing differences of certain net expense items deducted in a
future year for federal income tax purposes, are excluded until the year in
which they are reflected in the Company's current tax provision. The provision
for decline in real estate is excluded from EBDT because it varies from year to
year based on factors unrelated to the Company's overall financial performance
and is related to the ultimate gain on dispositions of operating properties. The
Company's EBDT may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures
reported by other companies.

Pro-Rata Consolidation Method

This press release contains certain financial measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP under the full consolidation accounting method and certain financial
measures prepared in accordance with the pro-rata consolidation method
(non-GAAP). The Company presents certain financial amounts under the pro-rata
method because it believes this information is useful to investors as this
method reflects the manner in which the Company operates its business. In line
with industry practice, the Company has made a large number of investments in
which its economic ownership is less than 100 percent as a means of procuring
opportunities and sharing risk. Under the pro-rata consolidation method, the
Company presents its investments proportionate to its share of ownership. Under
GAAP, the full consolidation method is used to report partnership assets and
liabilities consolidated at 100 percent if deemed to be under its control or if
the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest
entities, even if its ownership is not 100 percent. The Company provides
reconciliations from the full consolidation method to the pro-rata consolidation
method in the exhibits below and throughout its Supplemental Package, which the
Company will also furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K.

intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future are

partnership with others, the ability to maintain effective internal controls,
compliance with governmental regulations, changes in market conditions,
litigation risks, and other risk factors as disclosed from time to time in the
Company's SEC filings, including but not limited to, the Company's annual and

                 Forest City Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                              Financial Highlights
                   Three Months Ended April 30, 2008 and 2007
                                 (in thousands)

     1) Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity of SFAS
        No. 144, assuming no significant continuing involvement, all earnings
        of properties which have been sold or are held for sale are reported
        as discontinued operations.

     2) 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 and may not be directly comparable to
        similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The Company
        believes that EBDT provides additional information about its
        operations, and along with net earnings, is necessary to understand
        its operating results. EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the
        following items: i) gain (loss) on disposition of operating
        properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii) the
        adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
        straight-line method; iii) non-cash charges for real estate
        depreciation, amortization (including amortization of mortgage
        procurement costs) and deferred income taxes; iv) preferred payment
        classified as minority interest expense on the Company's Consolidated
        Statement of Earnings; v) provision for decline in real estate (net of
        tax); vi) extraordinary items (net of tax); and vii) cumulative effect
        of change in accounting principle (net of tax). See our discussion of
        EBDT in the news release.

     3) The Company recognizes minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the
        term of the related lease pursuant to the provision of SFAS No. 13,
        "Accounting for Leases." The straight-line rent adjustment is recorded
        as an increase or decrease to revenue from Forest City Rental
        Properties Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest City
        Enterprises, Inc., with the applicable offset to either accounts
        receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate.

     4) For the three months ended April 30, 2008, the effect of 4,616,829
        shares of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of
        diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive to
        the loss from continuing operations. (Since 4,616,829 of these shares
        are dilutive for the computation of EBDT per share for the three
        months ended April 30, 2008, diluted weighted average shares
        outstanding of 107,230,646 were used to arrive at $0.15/share.)

        For the three months ended April 30, 2007, the effect of 6,746,140
        shares of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of
        diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive to
        the loss from continuing operations. (Since 5,678,540 of these shares
        are dilutive for the computation of EBDT per share for the three
        months ended April 30, 2007, diluted weighted average shares
        outstanding of 107,669,294 were used to arrive at $0.32/share.)

     5) The Forest City Ratner Companies portfolio became a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of the Company November 8, 2006 upon the issuance of the
        Class A Common Units in exchange for Bruce C. Ratner's minority
        interests. For the first five years only, the Units that have not been
        exchanged are entitled to their proportionate share of an annual
        preferred payment of $2,500,000 plus an amount equal to the dividends
        paid on the same number of shares of the Company's common stock. After
        five years, the Units that have not been exchanged are entitled to a
        payment equal to the dividends paid on an equivalent number of shares
        of the Company's common stock. For the three months ended April 30,
        2008 and 2007, the Company recorded one quarter's share of the annual
        preferred payment which is classified as minority interest expense on
        the Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings of approximately
        $936,000 and $898,000, respectively.

     6) The following table provides detail of depreciation and amortization
        and amortization of mortgage procurement costs. The Company's Real
        Estate Groups are engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition
        and management of real estate projects, including apartment complexes,
        regional malls and retail centers, hotels, office buildings and mixed-
        use facilities, as well as large land development projects.

    2008 FOOTNOTES

     (a) Amounts are presented on the full consolidation method of
         accounting, a GAAP measure. Under full consolidation, costs are
         reported as consolidated at 100 percent if we are deemed to have
         control or to be the primary beneficiary of our investments in the
         variable interest entity ("VIE").
     (b) Cost at pro-rata share represents Forest City's share of cost,
         based on the Company's pro-rata ownership of each property (a non-
         GAAP measure). Under the pro-rata consolidation method of
         accounting the Company determines its pro-rata share by multiplying
         its pro-rata ownership by the total cost of the applicable
         property.
     (c) Reported under the equity method of accounting. This method
         represents a GAAP measure for investments in which the Company is
         not deemed to have control or to be the primary beneficiary of our
         investments in a VIE.
     (d) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of
         $458.8 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP measure)
         of $544.0 million consists of a reduction to full consolidation for
         minority interest of $26.3 million of cost and the addition of its
         share of cost for unconsolidated investments of $111.5 million.
     (e) Phased-in openings. Costs are representative of the total project.
     (f) Includes 177,000 square feet for Target and 97,000 square feet for
         JC Penney that opened in Q3-06, as well as 16,000 square feet of
         office space.
     (g) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of
         $0.0 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP measure)
         of $33.0 million consists of the Company's share of cost for
         unconsolidated investments of $33.0 million.
     (h) As is customary within the real estate industry, the Company
         invests in certain real estate projects through joint ventures. For
         some of these projects, the Company provides funding at percentages
         that differ from the Company's legal ownership.
     (i) Includes 22,000 square feet of retail space.
     (j) Property formerly known as Dallas Mercantile. Includes 18,000
         square feet of retail space.
     (k) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of
         $1,941.4 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
         measure) of $2,430.5 million consists of a reduction to full
         consolidation for minority interest of $288.4 million of cost and
         the addition of its share of cost for unconsolidated investments of
         $777.5 million.
     (l) Includes 67,000 square feet of office space.
     (m) Includes 156,000 square feet of office space.
