                   PLAZA CENTERS RECEIVES FINAL APPROVAL FOR

                           MEGA PROJECT IN BUCHAREST



Plaza Centers N.V. ('Plaza' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the
acquisition of a 75% interest in a company which has entered into a
public-private partnership agreement with the Government of Romania to develop
the approximately US$1 billion Casa Radio (Dambovica) scheme in Bucharest, the
largest development plot available in the city centre.  The Romanian Government
will remain a 15% partner in the scheme.


The acquisition, which was described in the Company's IPO prospectus, is a
further demonstration of Plaza's leading position in the CEE region.


The Casa Radio development sits on a 9.195 hectare (22.7 acre) site located in
central Bucharest, incorporating a large area of the Bucharest city centre.
Gara de Nord, the city's main railway station is nearby as well as the adjacent
Eroilor Metro Station and a number of trolley bus services which serve the site.


The development of Casa Radio comprises approximately 360,000sqm, including:


A 132,000sqm shopping mall and leisure centre (one of the largest in Europe),
residential area, hotel, casino, hypermarket, convention and conference hall.
Furthermore, two 135 metre tall towers of 53,000sqm each, which once completed,
will be among the tallest buildings in Bucharest.


Plaza will begin construction at the start of 2007. The development will confirm
Bucharest's position among the major and diverse cities in Europe and is a
significant addition to Plaza's mega, strategic development projects, such as
the large gambling and leisure resort on Dream Island in Budapest and the mega
Arena Plaza shopping centre which comprises 200,000sqm of build area.


Commenting on the deal, Ran Shtarkman, CEO, Plaza Centers N.V. said:


'We are delighted to have received approval from the Romanian Government to
develop this landmark scheme in the heart of Bucharest. The conclusion of this
agreement marks a significant step in the growth of Plaza Centers as a public
company.'
