FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TAUBMAN CENTERS WELCOMES COURT RULING ON OYSTER BAY
        BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich, September 14, 2005 - - Taubman Centers (NYSE:TCO) has received a ruling on the case before the Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division: Second Department regarding the zoning for its proposed Mall at Oyster Bay on Long Island, N.Y. (Oyster Bay Associates vs. Town of Oyster Bay.) The company released the following statement:

 	We are pleased that the Court ruling is consistent with the essential rulings of the two prior Appellate Court decisions which remanded the Special Use Permit Application to the Town of Oyster Bay for final determination, even though the Court reversed the order and judgment of the Supreme Court. We look forward to working closely with the Town of Oyster Bay on this exciting project. The Mall at Oyster Bay, which will create several thousand jobs while pumping nearly a quarter of a billion dollars into the county’s economy, will be the first new regional mall built on Long Island in over 30 years.	

The complete ruling is available at the following web address:
