    NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y., April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kimco Realty
Corporation (NYSE: KIM) today announced net income for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2006 increased 10.8 percent to $96.2 million from $86.8 million a
year ago.  On a diluted per common share basis, net income increased 11.1
percent to $0.40 from $0.36 in the first quarter of 2005.  Kimco's first
quarter funds from operations ("FFO"), a widely accepted supplemental measure
of REIT performance, rose 14.8 percent to $124.6 million from $108.5 million
for the same period last year.  On a diluted per common share basis, first
quarter FFO increased 12.8 percent to $0.53 from $0.47 a year ago.

    FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the
real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real
estate companies.  A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP
net income to FFO is included in this release.

    Kimco's parent portfolio occupancy remained high at 94.6 percent,
consistent with the prior quarter's level and 1.2 percent higher than a year
ago.  For the quarter, Kimco signed 110 new leases in this portfolio totaling
434,000 square feet.  Forty-eight of these new leases were for spaces where
the company replaced a prior tenant from a year ago.  The average increase in
contractual base rent on these same space leases was approximately 16.2
percent on a cash basis.  The Company also signed 108 tenant lease renewals,
and option exercises totaling 556,000 square feet resulting in average cash
rent increases of 10.5 percent.  Over the past four quarters, Kimco has signed
184 same space new leases totaling 872,000 square feet at an average cash
increase of approximately 14.1 percent and 342 lease renewals and options
totaling 1.8 million square feet at an average cash increase of approximately
9.5 percent.  As a result of these strong leasing results and the Company's
ongoing redevelopment program, Kimco's same store growth in net operating
income was 5.5 percent, on a cash basis and excluding lease termination fees.

    Investment Activity

    During the first quarter Kimco acquired interests in 110 properties valued
at approximately $1.1 billion and aggregating 7.9 million square feet.  From
year-end through the date of this release, Kimco has acquired interests in 120
properties valued at $1.3 billion and aggregating approximately 9.2 million
square feet.  Many of the properties acquired represent co-investments with
institutional partners.  The Company continues to aggressively grow its assets
under management and corresponding management fee revenue.  A summary of the
recent major transactions is as follows:



    U.S. Acquisitions

    -- The Company acquired a portfolio of 19 shopping centers located in
       California, Nevada and Hawaii for approximately $134 million.  In
       aggregate, the properties total 1.7 million square feet of gross
       leasable area, including anchor owned space of approximately 885,000
       square feet.

    -- The Company acquired Copperwood Village, a 350,000 square foot shopping
       center located in Houston, Texas, for approximately $73.9 million.
       Anchor tenants at the property include Michael's, OfficeMax, Marshall's
       and Bed Bath & Beyond.  This property was acquired for the Company's
       co-investment program with UBS Wealth Management.

    -- The Company acquired Cupertino Village, a 115,000 square foot
       neighborhood and community shopping center located in a densely
       populated submarket of the San Francisco Bay Area.  The property has
       excellent demographics, with 220,000 people located within a three mile
       radius and average household incomes of $115,000.  Kimco acquired this
       property at a cost of approximately $65.4 million.

    -- As previously announced, the Company acquired interests in two shopping
       centers located in Puerto Rico; Plaza Central in Caguas and Los Colobos
       in Carolina.  In aggregate, these two property interests were purchased
       for approximately $186 million.  Kimco is under contract to acquire
       interests in five additional shopping centers in Puerto Rico later this
       year.

    -- In a transaction consistent with Kimco's strategy of acquiring high
       quality properties for its co-investment programs, the Company acquired
       a minority interest in a portfolio of six shopping centers with a total
       value of $385.6 million.  The 1.8 million square foot portfolio
       consists of properties located in Edgewater, New Jersey; Ellicott City,
       Maryland; Austin, Texas; Clackamas, Oregon; West Lake Hills, Texas; and
       Palm Aire, Florida.  These properties are well positioned in dense,
       in-fill markets with high barriers to new competition.  Kimco is
       acquiring its interest from Crow Holdings Fund III, a prominent
       institutional real estate investment fund that will remain the majority
       investor in these properties.  Kimco will provide property management
       services for the portfolio.

    -- The Company acquired Hylan Plaza shopping center located in Staten
       Island, New York, as a result of its recently completed acquisition of
       Atlantic Realty Trust.  Hylan Plaza, which was valued at approximately
       $82 million, is a 358,155 square foot shopping center anchored by
       Kmart, Pathmark and Toys R' Us.  Most of the tenants at this shopping
       center have leases with below market rent and short remaining lease
       terms, which will allow Kimco to grow rental income from the property
       substantially.

    -- The Company acquired two shopping centers on Long Island in Centereach
       and Bay Shore, New York.  The properties, which total 279,000 square
       feet were acquired in separate transactions for a total of $61.6
       million.

    -- The Company acquired Tyler Street Plaza, an 86,108 square foot shopping
       center, located in Riverside, California, for approximately $10.1
       million.  This property will be transferred later this year to one of
       Kimco's co-investment programs.



    -- In addition, the Company acquired interests in seven other retail
       locations and increased its ownership interests in two properties
       already in the Company's portfolio.  In aggregate, these transactions
       totaled $21.6 million.

    Mexico Investments

    In Mexico, during the quarter Kimco acquired a 13 acre site in Monterrey,
Mexico, for development of a 312,000 square foot HEB anchored shopping center.
The Company's initial investment to acquire the land was approximately $12.8
million and the total project cost is expected to be approximately $35.6
million.  Also during the quarter, Kimco's venture with American Industries
acquired interests in two additional net leased properties for an aggregate
gross cost of $4.7 million.  In addition, the venture expanded three buildings
for existing tenants for a gross investment of $12.2 million.  The venture
currently owns 59 net leased properties totaling 6.0 million square feet that
are 97.2 percent occupied.

    Subsequent to quarter end, Kimco acquired a 20 acre site in Guadalajara,
Mexico for the ground up development of a 767,400 square foot shopping center.
The property is located in a highly sought after in-fill location in Mexico's
second largest city where there is strong demand from anchor tenants.  Kimco
has initially invested $31.6 million and the total project cost is expected to
be approximately $83 million upon completion.

    Canadian Investments

million and acquiring interests in 30 properties.  A summary of the
transactions is as follows:

       portfolio in Canada located in Montreal; Ottawa (2); Toronto;
       Windsor (3) and Winnipeg.

(2)  Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common
     stock at the beginning of the period. Net income available to common
     shareholders would be increased by $1,607 for the three months ended March
     31, 2005 reflecting the distribution associated with the units. For the

(3)  Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common
     stock at the beginning of the period. Funds from operations would be
     increased by $1,739 and $1,607 for the three months ended March 31, 2006
     and 2005, respectively.

    NOTE: Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including the Company,
generally consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is defined as
net income applicable to common shares before depreciation and amortization,
extraordinary items, cumulative effect of accounting changes, gains on sales
of operating real estate, plus the pro-rata amount of depreciation and
amortization of unconsolidated joint ventures determined on a consistent
basis. Given the nature of the Company's business as a real estate owner and
operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure
of its operational performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and therefore should not be considered an alternative for net
income as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the comparability of the
Company's FFO with the FFO reported by other REITs may be affected by the
differences that exist regarding certain accounting policies relating to
expenditures for repairs and other recurring items.

    Projections involve numerous assumptions such as rental income (including
assumptions on percentage rent), interest rates, tenant defaults, occupancy
rates, foreign currency exchange rates (such as the US-Canadian rate), selling
prices of properties held for disposition, expenses (including salaries and
employee costs), insurance costs and numerous other factors. Not all of these
factors are determinable at this time and actual results may vary from the
projected results, and may be above or below the range indicated. The above
range represents management's estimate of results based upon these assumptions
as of the date of this press release.
