Item 2.01. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On August 12, 2005, pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the various ownership interests of certain shopping center properties (the “RVG Entity Owners”) dated May 10, 2005, as amended, the Company, through Cedar Shopping Centers Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), purchased a portfolio of eight properties anchored by, or entirely leased to, supermarkets. The properties contain approximately 575,000 sq. ft. of gross leasable area (“GLA”); six are located in Virginia (with approximately 455,000 of GLA), and two are located in Pennsylvania (with approximately 120,000 of GLA).

The transaction was effective August 11, 2005.

The information contained herein includes a summary, prepared by management, of the written agreements with respect to the described transaction.
