               JDN REALTY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES 33.1% INCREASE IN
          FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996


ATLANTA, GA (February 3, 1997) - JDN Realty Corporation (NYSE:JDN) today
announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 1996. For the
fourth quarter, funds from operations increased 33.1% to $6.9 million, or $0.58
per share, compared with funds from operations in the fourth quarter of 1995 of
$5.2 million, or $0.52 per share. Net income increased 14.9% to $4.6 million, or
$0.39 per share, compared with net income in the fourth quarter of 1995 of $4.0
million, or $0.40 per share. Total revenues increased 16.4% to $9.9 million,
compared with total revenues of $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1995.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, funds from operations increased 43.2% to
$24.7 million, or $2.23 per share, compared with funds from operations for the
year ended December 31, 1995 of $17.2 million, or $1.95 per share. Net income
increased 55.4% to $16.7 million, or $1.50 per share, compared to net income for
the year ended December 31, 1995 of $10.7 million, or $1.22 per share. Total
revenues increased 16.8% to $36.6 million, compared with total revenues of $31.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1995.

"The increase in our FFO and FFO per share for the quarter and year ended is
primarily attributable to revenues from our development, redevelopment and
acquisition properties. During the quarter, we enhanced our financial position
by raising $52.6 million in a common stock offering which closed on November 17,
1996. Repayment of debt with the proceeds of this offering contributed to the
strengthening of our balance sheet as evidenced by our relatively low debt to
total market capitalization ratio of 28.2% as of December 31, 1996," said J.
Donald Nichols, chairman and chief executive officer.

During the fourth quarter, the Company achieved the following through its
development activities:

- -        In Canton, Georgia, the completion of a 238,000 square foot shopping
         center anchored by a Wal-Mart Supercenter. The project is 94.1% leased.
- -        In Greenville, North Carolina, the completion of a 324,000 square foot
         power center anchored by Target, Kroger, T.J. Maxx, Circuit City,

         The center is 94.8% leased.
- -        In Conyers, Georgia, the grand opening of Rhodes and Sport Shoe Expo.
         These tenants represent 58,000 square feet of this 424,000 square foot
         power center, which is anchored by a Wal-Mart Supercenter and Home
         Depot. The project is 97.4% leased.
- -        In Asheville, North Carolina, the opening of Food Lion, Carmike
         Cinemas, Office Max and Michaels. These tenants represent 116,000
         square feet of this 188,000 square foot power center. The project is
         98.3% leased.
