             Forest City Reports Fiscal 2005 First-Quarter Results



   CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2005--Forest City Enterprises,
Inc. (NYSE:FCEA) (NYSE:FCEB) today announced increases in revenues,
net earnings and EBDT for the fiscal first quarter ended April 30,
2005. The second-quarter dividend is expected to be declared at the
quarterly Board meeting on June 21, 2005.
    The Company reported first-quarter consolidated revenues increased
29 percent to $309.3 million compared with $239.9 million a year
earlier. Fiscal first-quarter net earnings were $22.2 million, or
$0.43 per share, compared with $7.2 million, or $0.14 per share, in
2004. EBDT (Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred
Taxes) was $67.7 million, or $1.32 per share, a 22 percent increase on
a per share basis over last year's fiscal first-quarter EBDT of $55.1
million, or $1.08 per share.
    The 22 percent increase in EBDT was driven by an 8 percent
increase in the Company's operating portfolio, and large increases in
land sales in both the investment real estate business and in the Land
Development Group. A portion of these increases were offset by two
factors: Lumber Trading Group EBDT in the first quarter of last year
with no corresponding EBDT in 2005 due to the sale of this business
unit in the fourth quarter of 2004; and a first-quarter 2005 loss for
The Nets (NBA basketball team) segment, which the Company did not own
in the first quarter of 2004. In addition to these items, net earnings
increased in the first quarter of 2005 due to a first-quarter 2004
charge resulting from a change in an accounting principle, which did
not recur.
    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, "We completed two projects during the fiscal
first quarter and one acquisition early in the second quarter, and we
expect to open eight additional projects during the balance of the
year. Total project openings for 2005 will represent $486.7 million of
cost on a full consolidation basis and $559.7 million of cost at the
Company's pro-rata share."
    Comparable property net operating income (NOI) - defined as NOI
from properties operated during the fiscal first quarters of both 2005
and 2004 -- increased 3.1 percent in 2005 compared with the prior
year's first quarter. Comparable property NOI for the retail and
office portfolios was up 3.3 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively. In
the residential portfolio, comparable property NOI increased 3.5
percent, following a 1.3 percent increase in the fourth quarter of
2004 - the first time in three years that comparable NOI has increased
in two consecutive quarters. Comparable property NOI, a non-GAAP
financial measure, is based on the pro-rata consolidation method, also
a non-GAAP financial measure. Included in this news release is an
exhibit that presents comparable property NOI on the full
consolidation method.
    Fiscal 2005 first-quarter comparable occupancies were up
portfolio-wide compared with the same period a year ago. Retail
occupancies were 94 percent compared with 92 percent last year; office
was 94 percent compared to 92 percent in the prior year first quarter;
and residential increased to 92 percent from 91 percent.
    The Land Development Group, which includes Denver Stapleton,
Chicago Central Station and other projects throughout the country, has
remained strong, generating $13.9 million in net earnings and $14.7
million of EBDT in the first quarter.
    Sales of land in the investment real estate portfolio contributed
an additional $10.6 million in net earnings and EBDT during the first
quarter. These transactions occur when the Company chooses to sell
rather than lease land, as part of major real estate development
projects.

    Financing Activity

    Forest City continues to take advantage of current low interest
rates and attractive debt markets for its project financings, with
primary emphasis on locking in fixed-rate nonrecourse mortgages.
During the first fiscal quarter, Forest City closed on transactions
totaling $266.4 million in nonrecourse mortgage financings, including
$67.7 million for new development projects and acquisitions, $170.4
million in refinancings, and $28.4 million in loan extensions and
other fundings.
    As of April 30, 2005, the Company's weighted average cost of
mortgage debt increased to 5.94 percent from 5.66 percent at April 30,
2004, primarily due to the increase in variable interest rates. The
variable-rate mortgage debt increased from 3.56 percent at April 30,
2004 to 4.85 percent at April 30, 2005. More significantly, fixed-rate
mortgage debt, which represented 69 percent of the Company's total
nonrecourse mortgage debt, decreased from 6.64 percent at April 30,
2004 to 6.43 percent at April 30, 2005.

    Dispositions

    During the fiscal first quarter, the Company sold the Showcase
specialty retail center in Las Vegas as well as the ground lease and
expansion rights to the property, which generated a pre-tax gain of
approximately $17.7 million and cash proceeds of $26 million. Also
during the quarter, Forest City disposed of Colony Place, a 300-unit
residential community in Fort Myers, Florida, for a $5.4 million
pre-tax gain and $6.6 million in cash proceeds.

    Acquisition and Development Highlights

    More than 70 percent of the Company's portfolio is concentrated in
the following major markets: New York City/Philadelphia metropolitan
area, Boston, Greater Washington D.C./Baltimore, Denver, and
California. Both of the projects opened and 88 percent of the projects
under construction during the first quarter are located in these major
markets. A schedule of the Company's project openings and the pipeline
of projects under construction are included in this news release.
Highlighted below are several of those properties.

    Openings and Acquisition

    During the first quarter, Forest City opened two projects,
representing a total cost of $49.2 million. Among the first-quarter
openings was 23 Sidney, one of the final buildings to be completed at
the Company's University Park at MIT life sciences office park in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. 23 Sidney features 51 loft apartments and
serves as the "front door" for the entire 27-acre mixed-use project.
Also in the first quarter, Forest City opened the $31 million,
359,000-square-foot first phase of Saddle Rock Village retail center
in Aurora, Colorado. The retail center will feature Super Target,
Jo-Ann Stores, OfficeMax and PETsMART as anchor tenants.
    Early in the second quarter, Forest City acquired Ballston Common
Office Center in Arlington, Virginia for $62.9 million. The
176,000-square-foot office building is 99 percent leased to three
existing tenants - the largest of which is the U.S. Coast Guard. The
office building sits above the Company's existing Ballston Common
Mall, a four-level, 578,000-square-foot urban retail center.

    Projects Under Construction and Scheduled to Open in Fiscal 2005

    As of the end of the first quarter, Forest City's pipeline
included 15 projects under construction or to be acquired,
representing a cost of $805.4 million on a full consolidation basis
and $1.2 billion of cost at the Company's pro-rata share. Including
the two projects opened in the first quarter, a total of 11 projects -
three retail properties, one office building, six apartment
communities and one condominium building - are scheduled to open in
2005. See attached exhibit, which includes comparable project costs on
both a pro-rata share and full consolidation basis.

    Commercial/Mixed-Use Projects

    Retail centers currently under construction and scheduled to open
in 2005 include:

    --  Simi Valley Town Center - The 600,000-square-foot, $138
        million open-air regional lifestyle center in Southern
        California will feature anchor stores Macy's and
        Robinsons-May, and as many as 120 specialty shops and
        restaurants.

    --  NorthField at Stapleton - This 1.1-million-square-foot
        regional lifestyle center at the Company's Denver Stapleton
        development will feature anchors Super Target, Foley's,
        Harkins Theatres and Bass Pro Shops. The first phase will open
        later in fiscal 2005 with subsequent openings throughout
        fiscal 2006. This project represents a cost of $173 million on
        a full consolidation basis and $156 million of cost at the
        Company's pro-rata share.

    Residential Projects

    As of the end of the first quarter, Forest City has approximately
3,700 rental residential units at eight properties under construction.
In addition to the already-opened 23 Sidney, five apartment
communities, representing $209.2 million on a full consolidation basis
and $234.9 million of cost at the Company's pro-rata share, are
scheduled to open in 2005. The use of federal and state historic tax
credits, affordable-housing tax credits, and tax-exempt financing for
many residential projects has enabled the Company to maximize its
returns, even under difficult market conditions.
    Downtown Los Angeles is a growing market for residential
development, and the Company has two apartment communities there
currently under construction and scheduled to open during fiscal 2005.
The 264-unit Met Lofts is located in Los Angeles' growing South Park
neighborhood. Meanwhile, at Metro 417, Forest City is redeveloping the
former Subway Terminal train station and office building into 277 loft
apartments. Other rental residential projects under construction and
scheduled to open in fiscal 2005 are the 203-unit 100 Landsdowne at
University Park at MIT near Boston; Ashton Mill, which is being
transformed from an Industrial Revolution-era cotton mill into more
than 190 apartment units near Providence, Rhode Island; and Sterling
Glen of Lynbrook, a 100-unit senior-housing community in the New York
City metropolitan area.

    Condominiums

    Forest City is continuing its involvement in the condominium
market. In downtown Los Angeles, the Company currently has under
construction a 37-story condominium at 1100 Wilshire, originally a
1980s-era office building that was never finished or opened by the
former owner. Forest City expects to begin delivering the first of the
228 for-sale residential units in late fiscal 2005. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2005, Forest City acquired a second building in Los
Angeles, 3800 Wilshire, a former office building that will be
converted into a 22-story, 260-unit condominium.

    Projects Under Development

    At the end of the first quarter, Forest City had more than 25
projects under development, representing approximately $2 billion.
Forest City anticipates that more than 10 of these projects will begin
construction by late 2005.
    During the first fiscal quarter, Forest City announced two new
life sciences development opportunities. In Skokie, Illinois, the
Company acquired from Pfizer, Inc. the redevelopment rights to a
22-acre technology and research park to be called the Illinois
Technology Innovation Campus. The site currently includes a million
square feet of office space in nine buildings, consisting of
high-quality facilities as well as future development opportunities.
In East Baltimore, Maryland, Forest City was chosen as the lead
developer for the first phase of an 80-acre mixed-use community
adjacent to the Johns Hopkins University medical campus, which will
include approximately 1 million square feet of life sciences space.
These two new projects enable the Company to capitalize on its
experience at its University Park at MIT development and a recently
completed life sciences research facility at the University of
Pennsylvania.
    Also in the first fiscal quarter, Forest City announced the
achievement of milestones at three open-air regional lifestyle centers
currently under development:

    --  The Orchard Town Center, a $114 million, approximately
        900,000-square-foot retail and residential project in the
        Denver suburb of Westminster, recently announced a Foley's
        department store will join JC Penney and AMC Theatres as
        anchors.

    --  At the $103 million, approximately 1-million-square-foot
        Promenade at Bolingbrook retail center near Chicago, Forest
        City announced that Marshall Field's will join Bass Pro Shops
        as anchors for a second phase of development; IKEA is the
        anchor for phase one.

    --  In Tampa, Florida, Forest City announced that the
        707,000-square-foot Shops at Wiregrass Ranch will be anchored
        by Florida's first prototype, stand-alone JC Penney store,
        which is currently under construction.

    In addition, Forest City has two major retail centers under
development in its New York City core market - the $297 million,
1.2-million-square-foot Ridge Hill retail center in Yonkers; and the
532,000-square-foot East River Plaza in Manhattan. Both projects are
scheduled to begin construction in early 2006 and open in fiscal 2007.
    In the residential business in Manhattan, Forest City has the
Beekman project under development. Beekman is an approximately $600
million residential development, where construction is anticipated to
begin in early fiscal 2006, with completion targeted for late fiscal
2008 for approximately 500 rental units, a 100,000-square-foot "K-8"
school, and 200 condominium units.
    In fiscal 2005, Forest City signed a memorandum of understanding
to pursue Brooklyn Atlantic Yards. This long-term development
project's main attraction and catalyst will be a new
850,000-square-foot arena for the Nets NBA basketball team, in which
the Company is an investor. As anticipated, The Nets recorded a loss
in the first quarter, and additional losses are expected in this
segment for the balance of the year. Forest City's long-term
objectives are to build a great franchise, move it to Brooklyn, and
develop a large-scale, mixed-use real estate project. The Company is
currently in the process of pursuing the appropriate entitlements and
acquiring land.
    During the first fiscal quarter, the U.S. Navy selected Forest
City Military Communities to participate in exclusive negotiations for
a housing contract covering the Navy's Great Lakes Region. The project
will involve owning, operating, managing, maintaining and renovating
nearly 1,900 residential units in Illinois and Indiana. The Midwest
project would be Forest City's second military family housing project
with the U.S. Navy. The first one involves the ownership,
redevelopment and management of approximately 1,950 family housing
units at five existing Navy communities in Hawaii.
    Early in the second quarter, Forest City signed an agreement with
the federal government for the 42-acre redevelopment of Southeast
Federal Center to create a mixed-use community on the site of a former
military supply depot in Washington, D.C. The project is expected to
include up to 2,800 housing units; approximately 2 million square feet
of commercial, retail and cultural space; and parks and open space.

    Outlook

    Ratner said, "The increases in our comparable NOI and the projects
we have opened and acquired in recent years continue to drive our
near-term growth. Our current development pipeline contains more than
three dozen projects under construction and under development that
will be an ongoing source of long-term growth. While we have remained
committed to our core businesses, we have 'pushed the envelope,' as
evidenced by the recent expansion of our life sciences and condominium
businesses, and our new efforts in military family housing. We are
very pleased with the short-term and long-term growth prospects
stemming from our development pipeline.
    "Forest City is a relationship company. Our success is dependent
on our ability to become involved in the cities where we do business,
and to demonstrate our expertise in developing large projects with a
variety of uses. Our success also depends on the fact that we deliver
what we promise. As a matter of fact, a Rancho Cucamonga, California
city official recently said at the grand opening of the Victoria
Gardens open-air lifestyle center that 'Forest City under-promises and
over-delivers.' As a result, we are constantly presented with exciting
new real estate development opportunities, which we expect will
continue to drive our long-term growth.
    "We are cognizant of the risks inherent in our business and remain
confident in our ability to execute our plans even as the nation's
economy continues to send mixed signals. We look forward to a strong
year and expect that 2005 will be our 26th consecutive year of EBDT
growth."

    Corporate Description

    Forest City Enterprises, Inc. is a $7.4 billion NYSE-listed
national real estate company. The Company is principally engaged in
the ownership, development, acquisition and management of mixed-use
projects, retail centers, apartment communities, office buildings and
land development projects 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 first quarter ended April 30, 2005, with
reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, such as comparable net
operating income 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, 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 from real estate operations of Forest City Rental
Properties Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Forest City
Enterprises, Inc., for depreciation, amortization (including
amortization of mortgage procurement costs) 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). Unlike the real estate segments,
EBDT for the Nets segment equals net earnings of the equity method
investment.
    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 our 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 our overall financial performance
and is related to the ultimate gain on dispositions of operating
properties. Our 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, a non-GAAP financial measure. 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 as 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 ("VIE"), 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.

1) Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity of SFAS No.
   144, assuming no significant continuing involvement, all earnings
   of properties and a divison which have been sold or 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)
   noncash charges from Forest City Rental Properties Corporation, a
   wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest City Enterprises, Inc., for
   depreciation, amortization (including amortization of mortgage
   procurement costs) 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). See our discussion of EBDT in the news
   release.

3) Amount represents depreciation expense for certain syndicated
   properties accounted for on the equity method of accounting under
   both full consolidation and pro-rata consolidation (a non-GAAP
   financial measure). See our discussion of pro-rata consolidation
   in the news release.

4) 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.

5) The following table provides detail of Depreciation and
   Amortization and Amortization of mortgage procurement costs. The
   Company's Real Estate Groups are owned by Forest City Rental
   Properties Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary 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.

2005 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) Not used.
(e) Phased-in openings. Costs are representative of the total project.
(f) The difference between the full consolidation amount (GAAP) of
    $0.0 million of cost to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
    measure) of $33.0 million of cost consists of the Company's share
    of cost for unconsolidated investments of $33.0 million.
(g) Supported-living property.
(h) The difference between the full consolidation amount (GAAP) of
    $805.4 million of cost to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
    measure) of $1,247.0 million of cost consists of a reduction to
    full consolidation for minority interest of $37.9 million of cost
    and the addition of its share of cost for unconsolidated
    investments of $479.5 million.
(i) As is customary within the real estate industry, the Company
    invests in certain real estate projects through joint ventures.
    For these projects, the Company provides funding for certain of
    its partners' equity contributions. The Company consolidates its
    investments in these projects in accordance with FIN No. 46(R) at
    a consolidation percentage that is reflected in the Pro-Rata FCE %
    column. These advances entitle the Company to a preferred return
    on investment, which is payable from cash flows of each respective
    property. At the point the Company is no longer entitled to a
    preferred return on a particular joint venture because the
    partner's advance has been repaid in full, the Company's net
    assets will be adjusted to its intended ownership percentage
    (reflected in the FCE Legal Ownership % column) by recording a
    minority interest to reflect the amount of the partner's claim on
    those net assets.
(j) This project will also include the acquisition of an adjacent
    retail center totaling 508,000 square feet.
(k) Formerly Tanglewood Crest.
(l) Formerly Bryant Landing.
(m) Formerly Subway Terminal.
(n) Includes 30,000 square feet of office space.
(o) Includes 235,000 square feet of office space.
(p) Phased opening: Phase I opens Q4-05, Phase II opens Q1-06, Phase
    III opens Q3-06

    were sold including Showcase and Colony Place, resulting in a gain
