Established nearly 100 years ago, BDO Seidman is one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious financial consulting and accounting firms, with 37 offices nationwide and a global network comprised of more than 626 international member firms.

“We’re delighted to welcome BDO to the roster of blue chip tenants within the SL Green portfolio of buildings. BDO anchors the successful repositioning of the building,” said Steven Durels, Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green, who added that the 825,815-square-foot tower is nearing completion of an extensive $72 million capital improvement program that has transformed the 36-story glass and steel skyscraper into a modern classic and winner of the 2007-08 BOMA award for ‘Best Renovated Building of the Year.’

SL Green CEO Marc Holliday commented, "Our successful disposition of 470 Park Avenue South demonstrates the market's continuing strong appetite for quality New York City office properties.

New York, NY - June 27, 2012 - SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) announced today that Amazon Corporate LLC  has expanded at 1350 Avenue of the Americas, increasing its commitment to 92,493 square feet at the 35-story, 585,156-square-foot tower located on the corner of West 55th Street.  The expansion lease covers 24,707 square feet.

"Amazon now occupies three and a half floors," said Steven Durels, executive vice president, Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green, who added that, "We were delighted to assist Amazon in its continuing growth which required the relocation and/or consolidation of six separate spaces."

1350 Avenue of the Americas has recently undergone a capital improvement program that included a new lobby and entrance, upgraded security and new common corridors.

Justin Halpern and Marcus Reyner of Cresa Partners acted on behalf of the tenant, while Howard J. Tenenbaum and Gary M. Rosen represented SL Green in the transaction.

New York, NY – February 27, 2008 – 100 Park Avenue has taken home BOMA gold. The 825,815-square-foot, 36-story property owned in partnership by SL Green and Prudential Real Estate was honored with a Pinnacle Award at the Building Owners and Managers Association’s (BOMA) ceremonial dinner held at on February 6th.

SL Green recently completed a comprehensive redevelopment of the 1950 era building making 100 Park Avenue into a “New Modern Classic.” The most visible portion of the redevelopment is the $72 million capital plan which includes the installation of a soaring two-story atrium lobby, a stunning new glass and metal façade, new double height storefronts, 2,000 new insulated windows and elegant new elevator cabs with glass and stone accents. In addition, significant infrastructure upgrades were performed including new cooling plant, increased electric capacity, and state-of-the-art security systems. “We’re particularly proud of the extensive ‘green building’ technology,” noted Edward Piccinich, Executive Vice President and Director of Management and Construction.

The award was accepted by John Flaherty, Property Manager for 100 Park, who is married to SL Green’s Meghann Gill who won last year’s Pinnacle award for Property Manager of the Year. “It was particularly noteworthy because, to my knowledge, it marks the first time a husband and wife have been recognized by BOMA two years in a row, similar to the Manning Brothers' back-to-back Superbowl MVP awards,” said Mr. Piccinich.

“One of the most challenging aspects of the renovation was installing the glass curtain wall on a building that was 95 percent occupied,” said Mr. Piccinich. “The work required chopping out hundreds of 2 X 2 sections of masonry along the exterior surface of the building in order to anchor the glass wall equivalent in size to a football field.”

The SL Green team took extraordinary steps to minimize disruption to building tenants throughout the 18-month construction process. This included construction and operation of a 10,000-square-foot business center for use by tenants who were temporarily displaced by the redevelopment work.

“Our comprehensive planning, scheduling and tenant coordination allowed us to complete this complicated project on time and within budget,” said Mr. Piccinich.

Random House, Inc., the U.S. division of Random House, the world's largest print and trade book publisher and wholly-owned subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG, has been located at the property since the building was developed in 2003.  

1745 Broadway is a 50-story building conveniently located between 55th and 56th Streets along New York's most famous thoroughfare.  Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the building features state-of-the-art infrastructure, efficient column-free floorplates and sweeping river views and is LEED-EB certified.

Steven Durels, Executive Vice President and Director of Real Estate of SL Green, commented, "We're delighted that Random House has chosen to remain at 1745 Broadway and we look forward to providing the firm's office needs for years to come. This lease confirms the on-going strength in demand for quality midtown buildings from a wide range of businesses."

New York, NY - April 25, 2012 - SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) today announced that Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIA, VIAB) has renewed its commitment at 1515 Broadway by extending and expanding the company's occupancy at the iconic Times Square tower through 2031. Viacom's future expansion is expected to cover the balance of the building's office space after 2020.  One of the world's leading media companies, Viacom is synonymous with Times Square resulting from its longstanding presence and highly visible broadcast studio overlooking the bow-tie of the square.

This record breaking lease follows right on the heels of a recently closed $775 million first mortgage refinancing by Bank of China.  The financing is for a term of seven years and replaces the previous $447 million financing.  Excess proceeds will be used to fund this transaction and for general corporate purposes.

"Reckson is very pleased to announce this significant designation, expanding our market leading sustainable program," said John Barnes, Reckson senior vice president, and managing director.  "In addition to receiving the Energy Star Label for three consecutive years, 500 West Putnam Avenue is only one of two buildings in the state of Connecticut to publicly receive a LEED-Existing Buildings (EB) Gold certification." 

This is the third LEED-EB certification for SL Green; the company achieved a prestigious LEED-EB Silver certification in 2009 for 100 Park Avenue, the redeveloped 36-story, 825,815-square-foot ‘Modern Classic' situated across from Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan.  In 2011, SL Green received a LEED-EB Gold Certification for 360 Hamilton Avenue, in White Plains, NY, the 384,000-square-foot property located in White Plains, NY. 

According to Jay Black, SL Green director of sustainability, "LEED certified buildings can have a profound environmental impact.  500 West Putnam recycles more than 50% of its waste, reduced energy use by 10%, and improved water consumption by 37% to achieve this noteworthy designation.  In addition, the property installed a white roof to reduce heat gain, and a rooftop solar panel system that contributes 7% of the building's annual energy needs."   Black adds, "LEED Certified Buildings have also shown to reduce employee absenteeism and enhance productivity for its occupants, according to the USGBC."

"These are important achievements that reflect our ongoing commitment to sustainability," according to John Barnes. "It's essential that we continue to deliver the highest quality of office space, utilizing LEED standards to provide more productive and healthier working environments."

On Site Renewable Energy System

White Plains, NY - January 5, 2010 - Reckson, a Division of SL Green Realty Corp. is proud to announce the installation of a new 100 kilowatt photovoltaic solar panel system on the roof of 500 W. Putnam in Greenwich, Connecticut.  The system is capable of delivering up to 50 percent of the building's energy needs during peak performance, and it's anticipated that it will provide approximately five percent of the property's annual energy needs.

"We are thrilled to announce this environmentally significant achievement at 500 West Putnam, the first building in our 31-property suburban portfolio to receive a solar roof installation," said John Barnes, Senior Vice President and Senior Director who added that over the course of  the  next 30 years, this system is expected to offset over six million pounds of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to planting 240 acres of trees or recycling 58,050,000 cans of soda or not driving 4.5 million miles in a car.

The new solar paneled roof, installed by Mercury Solar systems in a little over four week's time and partially financed with State and Federal grants, aligns with LEED requirements.  It provides onsite renewable energy both for the property and its tenants and it allows tenants seeking LEED Commercial Interior Certification to be eligible for points associated with its "Onsite Renewable Energy" category.

Reckson has embraced sustainability since 2007 when it launched its suburban sustainable program led by Jason Black LEED AP, which involves expanding its recycling efforts to include carpet and ceiling tile, following efforts to recycle cardboard and scrap metal from all job sites.  To date, Reckson has recycled over 350,000 square feet of each carpet and ceiling tile, totaling over 200 tons of debris diverted from landfills.  In 2008, Reckson was recognized by BOMA Westchester with its ‘Best Green Initiative' Award for its sustainable program.  And two months ago, the Company completed its $1.2 million suburban office lighting retrofit program, which involved upgrading/replacing existing light fixtures within 20 of Reckson's Westchester and Connecticut buildings' core/common/garage areas with high efficiency fixtures.  Reckson's sustainable program is expected to provide an annual savings of approximately $500,000 in reduced energy costs with a payback period of 1.2 years. 

According to Mr. Barnes, "Our corporate culture totally embraces the green movement.  We have four LEED accredited professionals on staff who develop and implement our sustainable programs and our employees participate in the Westchester County Climate Change Action Committee and The White Plains Green Technology Committee."

Reckson, acquired by SL Green Realty Corp. in 2007, is one of the leading owners and operators of suburban commercial real estate with approximately six million square feet of Class A commercial office space in its portfolio.

(NYSE: SLG) announced today that the City of New York has renewed its lease covering 372,520 square feet for offices of the law division at 100 Church Street, the 21-story, 1.05 million square foot building located in downtown Manhattan. The 20-year lease renewal commences November, 2013 covering floors 2-6, 20 and a portion of the building's concourse level.  The City's lease at 100 Church Street was scheduled to expire in October, 2013.

The Company also announced that is has refinanced the property with a new $230 million, 10-year loan bearing interest at a rate of 4.675%.  Proceeds from the financing, which was provided by Wells Fargo Bank, will be used for general corporate purposes. 

"We are delighted to have the City of New York as our anchor tenant. The City's decision to extend its commitment is testament to the quality of our recently completed redevelopment of 100 Church Street," said Steven Durels, Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green.  Mr. Durels continued, "This early renewal is consistent with our firm's proactive management of future lease expirations which has led to consistently high portfolio occupancy."

SL Green acquired the building in 2010 after it had been 56% vacant for over 5 years. A comprehensive redevelopment of the property, which was completed in 2011, included a new lobby, windows, infrastructure upgrades, new roofs and retail repositioning. Building occupancy is now 82% and major tenants, in addition to the City of New York, include HealthFirst, Niche Media, Interactive Data Corp, Centerline Capital Group and the State of New York.

SL Green will recognize approximately $116 million in net proceeds from the transaction.

Andrew Mathias, President of SL Green said, "Our ability to execute long-term fixed rate financing at historically low rates is a significant achievement and reflects both this property's strength as well as the continuing positive evolution of Times Square.  The long-term renewal of the Viacom lease, coupled with our redevelopment of the building's lobby, common areas, retail space, and the introduction of LED signage, has created significant value."

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP acted on behalf of SL Green.  Sidley Austin LLP represented the lender group.

"We are very pleased to welcome O'Shea Partners LLP to 521 Fifth Avenue," said Steven M. Durels, Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green who added that eight months ago SL Green announced completion of a $25 million capital improvement at the 39-story, 462,853-square-foot office tower located on Fifth Avenue at 43rd Street, and the building is currently 100% leased.

The property is one of several in the Grand Central area that SL Green is either in the process of, or has already, repositioned in order to enhance the value of its assets.  A newly renovated lobby, storefront, elevator cabs, corridor and bathroom upgrades, together with improved infrastructure, were all part of the capital improvement program at 521 Fifth.  Other tenants in the building include Starz Media, Inc, a programming production and distribution company; Hiscox, Inc., a UK reinsurance firm; and Sextant Search Partners, a leading executive search firm.  Circuit City Stores, Inc. anchors the building's bi-level retail component.

The Class A building was constructed in 1972 and is located in New York’s Plaza District between 5th and Madison Avenues, and is currently the headquarters of Harper Collins. The midrise and tower floors feature panoramic views of Central Park and the city’s skyline.

The property, with floor plates ranging between 8,400 and 16,300 rentable square feet, is currently 91 percent leased. Over the next three years, leases for approximately 60 percent of the property’s rentable square footage expire, providing SL Green the opportunity to take advantage of what SL Green management believes are in-place rents that are substantially below market.

SL Green intends to implement a significant capital improvement program along with a targeted leasing and marketing campaign to reposition and reintroduce the building in the marketplace. The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with an institutional partner, and will hold a 55% stake in the venture and act as general partner.

Andrew Mathias, President of SL Green, commented, “The Plaza District is home to a number of Midtown’s premier trophy assets, and because of the prestige and value of these assets it is rare that an opportunity to acquire one arises. When presented with the chance to add one of these assets to our core Midtown portfolio, we seized it.”

Mr. Mathias continued, “Having recently achieved notable repositioning and leasing successes at 100 Church Street and 3 Columbus Circle, we believe that when we apply our market-leading management capabilities to 10 East 53rd Street, this Midtown office tower will become a highly coveted business address in the Plaza submarket – especially for boutique tenants seeking full floor identity with stunning Central Park views.”

The seller was represented by Hines Interests, as asset manager, and by brokers Darcy Stacom and William Shanahan of CBRE.

New York, NY - October 7, 2008 - SL Green Realty Corp. is pleased to announce that two new tenants have signed leases totaling 10,654 square feet covering the entire 28th floor of 100 Park Avenue. 

Morgan Creek Capital Management LLC signed a five-year lease for 5,479 square feet and Adveq Management US, Inc. signed a ten-year lease for 5,175 square feet. 

"We were pleased to work with Morgan Creek and Adveq to provide customized, build-to-suit installations for each tenant," said Steven Durels, Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green.  SL Green had originally planned to construct two pre-builds on the floor, but instead leased the space before ever commencing construction. 

100 Park Avenue recently received BOMA's 2007-2008 award for Best Renovated Building of the Year in connection with a comprehensive $72 million redevelopment that included a new soaring two-story atrium lobby, complete re-cladding of the façade featuring a glass curtain wall along Park Avenue, 2,000 new insulated windows, new elevator cabs and extensive infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, 100 Park Avenue is scheduled to be one of the first existing commercial buildings to receive a silver LEED designation in Manhattan.

About SL Green Realty Corp.

SL Green Realty Corp. is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, that predominantly acquires, owns, repositions and manages Manhattan office properties. The Company is the only publicly held REIT that specializes in this niche. As of June 30, 2008, the Company owned 30 New York City office properties totaling approximately 23,719,200 square feet, making it New York's largest office landlord. In addition, SL Green holds investment interests in, among other things, eight retail properties encompassing approximately 400,212 square feet, two development properties encompassing approximately 363,000 square feet and two land interests, along with ownership interests in 36 suburban assets totaling 7,867,500 square feet in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey.

The initiative was announced after the Company was presented with the Energy Star Challenge Award bronze plaque for its efforts in reducing energy consumption at 625 Madison Avenue.  In 2008 alone, SL Green reduced the property's carbon footprint and energy consumption by more than 10 percent.  This was achieved by installing monitoring equipment on high pressure steam traps, making stairwell lighting technology upgrades, installing of variable frequency drives, and upgrading tenant and main building cooling towers with more efficient units.  Aside from technological and mechanical upgrades, building staff and property management implemented several other operational efficiencies that curbed utility use.  Management is now working on a new set of initiatives designed to further increase energy efficiencies and reduce the carbon footprint by another 25 percent.

Another property in the "green spotlight" is 100 Park Avenue, a classic office tower that SL Green has completely redeveloped, and which is on track to earn a Silver LEED certification.  SL Green recently completed the comprehensive redevelopment of the 1950's-era building, recreating 100 Park Avenue as the "New Modern Classic."  The $72 million capital program included significant infrastructure upgrades such as a new cooling plant, increased electric capacity, and state-of-the-art security systems. The building embodies its sustainability commitment with a new design that brings a feeling of light and spaciousness to all surfaces.  

100 Park Avenue is the first building of its type in New York to install green roofs -- 14 altogether -- which employ a low-maintenance/water consumption Xeroflor mat system.  In addition to the green roofs, the anticipated LEED Silver certification will be based on an aggressive enhanced recycling and energy management program -- including the installation of low-flow plumbing fixtures that reduce water consumption by an estimated 50 percent, or almost 1 million gallons of water per year, and technology that allows management to maintain pre-renovation lighting levels in the lobby at a 25 percent reduction in energy consumption. 

"This renovated building, which we own in partnership with Prudential Real Estate Investors, was  honored with a Pinnacle Award by the Building Owners and Managers Association's (BOMA) in 2008 for Renovated Office Building, and went on to win BOMA's 2009 Middle Atlantic regional award in the same category," said Edward Piccinich, Executive Vice President and Director of Management and Construction. "But we're particularly proud of the strides we have made in making it so much ‘greener.'"  He added, "There are real savings that can be unlocked through green initiatives, but it's also critical that each project is assessed based on its projected payback period, the operational efficiencies gained, and the long term value added to the property from implementation."

Located between 31st and 32nd Streets, 470 Park Avenue South, a 260,000 square foot, building, is within easy walking distance to Grand Central Terminal and the retail and dining establishments of Union Square.

New York, NY, October 4, 2012 -- SL Green Realty Corp (NYSE: SLG), together with an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII, Gramercy Capital Corp. (NYSE: GKK) and Square Mile Capital Management LLC, today announced the formation of a joint venture for the recapitalization of a 31-property, 4.5-million-square-foot office portfolio in Southern California. Following the recapitalization, Blackstone is now the majority owner of the venture.

The portfolio comprises 59 buildings, located in various submarkets including Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.  It includes assets such as the LA Corporate Center in Monterey Park, Skyview Center in Los Angeles, 350 South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills and Carmel Valley Center in San Diego's Del Mar Heights.  

Blackstone has invested approximately $85 million into the portfolio to de-leverage and establish significant leasing and capital reserves.  Equity Office Properties, a Blackstone affiliate, will assume full responsibility for the portfolio's management and leasing, adding to its existing 11.2 million square foot portfolio in Southern California.

SL Green Co-Chief Investment Officer David Schonbraun said, "This recapitalization permits SL Green to retain upside in a portfolio that will enjoy the benefits of professional management, capital for leasing and an improving Southern California office marketplace.  In arranging for this new equity structure, we took advantage of our strong reputation as an investor and benefited from our close existing relationships with many of the other parties involved, including Blackstone."

He continued, "We believe that with the experienced management of Equity Office, a company with years of experience in Southern California, this portfolio is primed for a rebound. The fact that more than a half dozen expert equity and debt investors agree, and have come together to make substantial financial commitments, speaks volumes about their confidence as well. SL Green is now well positioned to recoup its original investment in full, and to benefit from the anticipated upside as well."

Jacob Werner, Principal in Blackstone's real estate group, said, "We are excited about the opportunity to form a joint venture with such terrific partners, including SL Green, and to make an additional investment in high-quality office assets in Southern California.  We believe our investment of capital should allow the portfolio to fully benefit from the continued market recovery."

Renovation Follows Prior Retail Re-development of New 29 W. 34th Street

and 1551 Broadway in Times Square

New York, NY -February  9, 2010 - SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) is pleased to announce the completion of a $4.5 million lobby and storefront redevelopment at 333 W. 34th Street, the 10-story, 349,896-square-foot tower situated midblock between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. 

Designed as part of a comprehensive re-positioning plan following SL Green's acquisition of the building in 2007, the very visible renovation features an enlarged and redesigned storefront and lobby.  A new 21,000-square-foot retail space has been created on the ground floor by recapturing cafeteria and other underutilized space used by the building's previous office tenant.

The building lobby was designed with scaled European limestone finishes, augmented by an 18-foot high glass curtain wall system that wraps along the entire frontage of the building.  Additional upgrades include improvements to the fire/life safety equipment, vertical transportation,  security and visitor management systems.  The equipment for the new technology was integrated into a new reception desk paneled in a limestone design that complements the rest of the lobby décor.  Woertendyke Adjah Associates, Inc. (WAAI) and McGovern & Company were retained to oversee the design and construction of the project.

"Having just completed a series of successful lobby renovations at 711 Third Avenue, 810 Seventh Avenue, 16 Court Street, and 1515 Broadway, we saw this project as another opportunity to add substantial value to an underutilized building," said Edward V. Piccinich, SL Green Executive Vice President.

Entrances to both the buildings and new retail space have been outfitted with stainless steel and glass canopies, with the main entrance featuring a nine-foot high revolving glass door. 

"Our goal was to radically change one's first impression of the building, and to elevate its profile along the 34th Street Corridor," added Mr. Piccinich.

"The quality of our re-development design was instrumental in pre-leasing 40 percent of the building to The Segal Company," said Steven Durels, SL Green Director of Leasing and Real Property. "We've had tremendous interest in the building from a wide variety of tenant users."

Just prior to the renovation of 333 W. 34th Street, SL Green completed two other development projects, both core and shell buildings, one a $14 million development further east at 29 West 34th Street, and one a $30 million project at 1551 Broadway.

SL Green constructed a three-story 18,000-square-foot core and shell building at 29 West 34th Street, then proceeded to strike leases with footwear retailers ALDO and GEOX, who were drawn to the proposed modern design of the building.  The metal and glass curtain wall is a major design focal point, a grand departure from the typical pre-war stock of buildings that line the block between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

According to Mr. Piccinich, "Developing the 34th Street site required a great level of precision, given the abutting buildings to the West and to the North.  We acted as a community liaison for the occupants and owners of a neighboring hotel and residential buildings, while meeting the demands of an aggressive development schedule for both GEOX and ALDO, as they were taking possession of the new three-story building by May of 2009."

1551 Broadway, a major ground up development, was also a core and shell building consisting of three floors that is leased to national retailer American Eagle Outfitters for their New York City flagship.  The turnkey development involved a complete repositioning of the site, which included demolition of the former Howard Johnson's restaurant building in the heart of Times Square.  Tishman Construction managed the project, working with architect The Phillips Group.

"The property boasts 19-foot ceiling heights, topped with a soaring 250-high signage tower containing over 15,000 square feet of state-of-the-art LED signage," stated Mr. Piccinich.  "We successfully completed construction on time and within budget for what was described as 2007's "Retail Deal of the Year."  American Eagle was able to complete their build-out and subsequent grand opening last November, just prior to the busiest shopping season of the year."

BMW of Manhattan Signs Long-Term Renewal for 228,000 Square Feet

Aeropostale Inks Agreement to Anchor Retail Repositioning at 1515 Broadway

Suburban Portfolio Leasing Volume Also Shows Signs of Strength

New York, NY - January 26, 2010 - SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:  SLG) today reported increased leasing activity  during the fourth quarter of 2009, as the Company signed 48 leases totaling more than 560,000 square feet in its New York City portfolio.  Leading the way was the 10-year, 228,000-square-foot early renewal of BMW of Manhattan, Inc. at 555 West 57th Street. 

Also highlighting the fourth quarter were a 10-year, 75,000-square-foot new lease with DE Shaw Research, LLC covering seven floors at Tower 45, located at 120 W. 45th Street and an 11-year, 33,000 square foot expansion with Debevoise & Plimpton, LLP at 919 Third Avenue.  Both transactions pre-lease spaces that were scheduled to become vacant in 2011.

Additionally, SL Green announced the completion of a 15-year retail lease with Aeropostale.  The prominent teen apparel retailer is taking over 17,500 square feet at 1515 Broadway, combining ground floor space previously leased by Bank of America together with 2nd floor space previously occupied by MTV Studios.   

 "When we recaptured the former MTV studio space from Viacom, we recognized this as a unique opportunity to create high visibility retail space and unlock tremendous rental value," said Andrew Mathias, President and Chief Investment Officer of SL Green.    The transaction required the simultaneous buyout of Bank of America who controlled a long-term lease on the space. Our extensive efforts were well worth it, as this new lease with Aeropostale anchors the building's retail repositioning with additional opportunity for further value creation in the remaining space and signage."

"The New York City office market got off to a slow start in 2009," noted Steven Durels, Executive Vice President, Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green.  "However, we definitely saw a steady improvement in transaction velocity as 2009 progressed.  Direct vacancy has stabilized and quality sublease availability is shrinking." 

There were 2.25 million square feet leased in Manhattan during the month of December according to Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.  The last two times monthly leasing activity exceeded 2 million square feet was in July 2009 and June 2008.

"Likewise, we are seeing an increasing number of in-place tenants with expirations beyond 2010 initiating longer-term renewal and expansion discussions," said Durels. "It appears that many companies realize the market is beginning to bottom-out and are fearful that rents will rise before their leases expire.  These early renewals like the BMW transaction permit us to substantially reduce our near-to-mid term portfolio rollover." 

Overall, Durels reported that the Company signed 191 Manhattan leases covering more than 1,480,000 square feet for the full year.   In addition, the Company's Reckson division, which manages its suburban portfolio in Westchester and Connecticut, reported 29 deals topping 346,000 square feet.  This included a renewal with Verizon for approximately 117,000 square feet and a new lease with Gerald Metals for approximately 23,250 square feet.

Energy Efficiency With Social Responsibility

White Plains - June 16, 2011 - Only eight months after 360 Hamilton Avenue in White Plains, NY, owned by Reckson a Division of SL Green, received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Label with a high ranking Score of 91, Reckson announced today that it has chosen 100% Renewable Energy.

            "We are very excited about this outstanding initiative, the next step in our market- leading sustainable program, balancing our strong commitment to energy efficiency as seen through the receipt of the Energy Star Label, and social responsibility by supporting renewable energy," said John Barnes, senior vice president and senior director of Reckson.

            "We see this as a unique opportunity to help further reduce our environmental impact, and encourage further development of the renewable energy market.  Our interest in renewable energy began in February 2010, with the installation of a 100 kw solar roof panel system, generating on-site renewable energy at Reckson's 500 West Putnam Avenue, in Greenwich, CT."

Reckson's choice of renewable energy, also referred to as clean energy or green energy, will be used to offset 100% of 360 Hamilton Avenue's annual energy use through Renewable Energy Credits (REC's).  Purchased from Renewable Energy Choice, the REC's will be used to support, and increase the amount of energy generation on the power grid through regenerative resources such as wind, water, and solar power energy.  The environmental impact of the REC's purchased is equivalent to removing 2,295 cars from the road for one year.

According to Jason Black, LEED AP, Director of Sustainability for SL Green, "This initiative at 360 Hamilton Avenue underscores our commitment to sustainability, healthier work environments for our tenants, and the benefits of renewable energy.  This program was developed in conjunction with Reckson's current pursuit of a LEED Certification for the property.  Through a two-year commitment, it will help provide critical points toward this designation from the U.S. Green Building Council, and will provide additional points for a tenant's pursuit of a LEED Commercial Interior Certification."

SL Green indicated that a key component of the transaction is 724 Fifth Avenue, a prestigious retail location located between 56th and 57th streets in Manhattan's Plaza District.  The renowned Italian fashion house Prada currently occupies approximately 20,700 square feet including the grade, mezzanine, second floor and lower level retail, as well a boutique office floor.  The property enjoys prime position along the "Gold Coast" of Fifth Avenue - a retail corridor known to achieve some of the highest retail rents in the world.  It is situated in the vicinity of other retail properties which SL Green has ownership of, including 717 Fifth Avenue, home to Giorgio Armani's flagship store and the future flagship store of Dolce & Gabanna, in addition to 720 Fifth Avenue.

The residential portion of the portfolio includes a total of 402 rental units located in prime Midtown and Upper East Side submarkets.  The SL Green/Stonehenge venture plans to significantly upgrade a selection of units and building amenities in an effort to maximize value.  Stonehenge, which currently owns and manages over 2,560 apartment units in New York, will bring to bear its specific expertise to the venture and will be responsible for day-to-day management and marketing of the multifamily assets along with the execution of the renovation/upgrade program.    

The transaction is the latest in a series of significant investments by SL Green that have involved premier retail properties and locations.  Previous notable examples have included the recently-concluded 1552-1560 Broadway transaction, the American Eagle and Aeropostale flagships in Times Square, and the recently acquired 747 Madison Avenue.

The full portfolio being acquired in the transaction announced today includes:

• 724 Fifth Avenue, a 12-story building that currently includes the Prada retail space and several floors occupied by gallery tenants.

• Interests in 752 Madison Avenue, a four-story retail building completely occupied by Armani under a sub-lease arrangement that expires in 2025.

• Interests in 19-21 East 65th Street, a pair of mixed-use properties adjacent to 752 Madison Avenue.  The combined properties include 9,000 square feet of retail, office, and gallery space, along with 17 multifamily units.

• 762 Madison Avenue, a five-story building located between 65th and 66th streets and also adjacent to 752 Madison Avenue.  The asset includes 6,000 square feet of office, retail and gallery space, with the lease on the ground floor retail space expiring in 2013.

•  44 West 55th Street, a five-story commercial building located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.  With two floors currently vacant and leases on two additional floors scheduled to expire in 2012, the well-located midtown building offers a significant repositioning opportunity.   

• 400 East 57th Street, a 260-unit multifamily building located on the southeast corner of 57th Street and First Avenue.  While already featuring attractive common areas, the SL Green/Stonehenge venture plans to implement a strategic capital plan to upgrade select building amenities.  In addition the venture will upgrade the ground floor retail space as needed in order to capture market-level rents from credit tenants.

• 400 East 58th Street, also located along First Avenue.  The building features 125 multifamily units and 4,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, with the latter currently leased at below-market rents to non-credit tenants.

Andrew Mathias, President of SL Green, commented "This is an exciting opportunistic investment for SL Green, which already has an outstanding track record in acquiring and repositioning New York City office and retail properties.   We also are excited about making our first significant equity investment in the multifamily area, which helps to diversify our portfolio further while still maintaining our New York City focus."  

Marc Holliday, Chief Executive Officer of SL Green, added, "In joining forces with Stonehenge Partners, we have brought together two companies with complementary strengths.  Along with our property renovation and repositioning know-how, we have considerable experience in underwriting residential transactions through our structured finance program.  Stonehenge is one of the city's best multifamily property operators.   We believe the residential portion of this venture will produce solid returns."

Ofer Yardeni, managing partner and co-founder of Stonehenge Partners, said, "The Stonehenge footprint in New York City continues to expand and this venture with one of New York City's pre-eminent real estate companies further enhances our presence and brand.  We look forward to collaborating with the SL Green team in repositioning these properties and bringing them to their full potential value."

Each property has undergone a comprehensive re-positioning which includes capital improvements featuring unique designs reflective of each building.

            "It's satisfying to see the completion of these redevelopment projects, which were designed to enhance and highlight a specific theme for each building and its tenancy.

It is a refreshing reminder of our on-going commitment in maintaining our portfolio to the highest standard," stated Edward Piccinich, Executive Vice President, Director of Management and Construction.

711 Third Avenue

What makes 711 Third Avenue's lobby so unique is the artistically famous 200-square-foot mosaic mural wrapping around the elevator core. It was commissioned in 1956 and created by the German-born American abstract expressionist painter, Hans Hofmann. The mural consists of 500,000 Venetian glass tiles in 500 different shades, each smaller than a postage stamp. The mural was pain-stakingly restored and became the feature around which the entire lobby was designed. The final product represents one of the most visually appealing commercial lobby entrances in Manhattan, combining both enduring artwork and leading edge technology. A lofty ambiance is created by the new glass entrance that is flush with the building exterior along Third Avenue, and the lobby's high ceilings, polished marble walls, glass tiles, and quartz flooring. The $10 million renovation also includes new elevator cabs and corridor upgrades at this 20-story 553,000-square foot tower which is occupied by prestigious tenants such as Crain's New York Business, Parade Publications, Ricoh Corporation, Omnicom and Chicago Title Insurance Company.

Mr. Piccinich commented, "We knew we wanted to create something that was much different from our previous lobby renovations, and our final design selection fulfilled that goal; the space is both highly operational and enjoys a unique aesthetic. We've received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our tenants."

The $13 million capital campaign also included new elevator cabs, common corridors and bathrooms with complimentary design features. Major tenants in the building include In-Sight Communications, Ion Media, Hearst Communications, WWOR-TV and numerous financial services firms.

16 Court Street

The re-creation of the building's dated lobby and entrance take their cue from the buildings elegant pre-war architecture. The resulting design features a strong black and white theme with a contemporary art deco feel.

Lobby materials included polarized quartz floor tiles, black granite, white glass and walnut wood walls. The lobby redevelopment is part of a $17 million comprehensive redevelopment program, which included new elevator cabs, new windows, restroom renovations, common corridor, and infrastructure upgrades.

Mr. Mathias continued, "Despite the many difficulties the Manhattan office market has experienced throughout the recent downturn, SL Green has actually strengthened its standing as New York City's leading landlord and has repeatedly demonstrated the value of its highly attractive, well-leased and well-occupied portfolio by refinancing several of its assets, including 100 Park Avenue, 420 Lexington Avenue, 625 Madison Avenue, 1551-1555 Broadway and now 1515 Broadway.  Furthermore, as we indicated at our recent investor conference, we were able to source this financing which required a lower equity contribution than previously forecast."

NEW YORK - A survey of Queens voters shows that SL Green Realty Corp.'s bid for a Hard Rock Casino and other Hard Rock-themed offerings at a redeveloped Aqueduct Racetrack is the favored choice of the community.

The third-party survey, commissioned by SL Green, demonstrates that the Hard Rock brand is well liked in Queens and is the best known of all the bidders, clearly indicating that an SL Green/Hard Rock project would not only be well received, but well utilized by Queens residents. The survey results also show that Queens voters strongly favor an Aqueduct developer that combines deep New York roots and a commitment to union jobs with a strong understanding of the gaming industry.

Two-thirds of voters (67%) say it is important for Aqueduct to be developed by a company based in New York - as SL Green is - and 84% say it is important for the company developing Aqueduct to have experience developing and running casinos - as Hard Rock does. No other bid meets both criteria.

"Hard Rock and New York City are a natural match, so it's no surprise that Queens voters want to see more world-class entertainment, dining and gaming from the Hard Rock franchise - right in their own community," said Jim Allen, Chairman, Hard Rock International. "Our bid will not only provide the community with a place to come together and be entertained, but it will also create jobs - nearly 1,000 - for local residents and union members. Queens deserves a Hard Rock of its own."

"These poll results verify that we have been on the right track from the beginning," said SL Green CEO Marc Holliday.  "Our intention continues to be to redevelop Aqueduct in a way that is the best fit for Queens and surrounding neighborhoods while fulfilling the State's economic objectives.  No other proposal is as well-planned. The SLG/Hard Rock team will deliver the union jobs that Queens voters want faster than any other bidder. In fact, the SLG/Hard Rock team is the only group that is guaranteeing an opening within eight months of final agreements being reached and signed - with a significant self-imposed penalty paid to New York State, should the project be delayed thereafter." 

"I am invested in this proposal because of the enormous opportunity Aqueduct represents through the creation of local jobs, the opportunity for New York State to receive important revenue, and bringing world-class entertainment to Queens," said Robert L. Johnson, Founder and Chairman of The RLJ Companies and an investor in the SL Green/Hard Rock bid through one of his companies, Caribbean CAGE LLC.

In the survey, Queens voters were asked to rate certain statements describing various elements of the SL Green/Hard Rock proposal. The survey results show that Queens voters find three elements of the proposal particularly appealing: 

• 44% of Queens County voters and 48% of voters in the neighborhoods surrounding Aqueduct find it very convincing that "if SL Green and Hard Rock are awarded the contract to develop Aqueduct, it will mean more union jobs and more jobs for area residents. SL Green has a long history of using union labor, and it has committed to hiring a high percentage of local labor for the construction."
• 35% of Queens County voters and 41% of voters in the neighborhoods surrounding Aqueduct find it very convincing that "SL Green is the largest commercial landlord in New York City. As a successful local company that knows the New York market, its proposal reflects the firm's realization that the Big Apple is not Las Vegas or Atlantic City and recognizes that it must work with the local community to be successful."   
• 31% of Queens County voters and 37% of voters in the neighborhoods surrounding Aqueduct find it very convincing that "Bob Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, is partnering with SL Green and Hard Rock on Aqueduct to make sure the development strengthens the local community and creates opportunity for area residents." 

A majority (57%) of voters view the Hard Rock brand favorably, with just 7% viewing it unfavorably.  Far fewer voters have any opinion of Wynn Resort & Casino (25% favorable/5% unfavorable). Opinions of Hard Rock are rooted in personal experience for many voters. Nearly half of Queens County voters (46%) say they have been to a Hard Rock restaurant, hotel or casino, and more than half (57%) say they would be likely to eat at a Hard Rock Café that was included as part of the new Aqueduct. Hard Rock would be viewed immediately as a trusted and popular brand by Queens residents.

When presented with four of the competing proposals for developing Aqueduct, a plurality of Queens County voters (21%) opt for the SL Green/Hard Rock proposal, followed by Aqueduct Entertainment Group (17%), Wynn Resort & Casino (17%) and Delaware North (4%). And voters in the neighborhoods immediately surrounding Aqueduct are even more likely to choose the SL Green/Hard Rock proposal (25%).

METHODOLOGICAL NOTE

New York, NY - June 18, 2012 -SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) announced today it is underway with the installation of LED lighting throughout 21 of its properties, expected to save more than $630,000 in annual energy use.

"SL Green is excited to take the next step in sustainable lighting by utilizing LED technology," said Edward V. Piccinich, executive vice president, Management & Construction at SL Green who added, "Lighting comprises 30% of a building's typical energy use. LED lighting products addressing 24/7 lighting areas, including garage, stair, and mechanical areas, will yield significant cost savings and quick paybacks."

SL Green will complete one of the nation's largest LED lighting retrofits with more than 16,000 units replacing antiquated lighting technologies including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent.

"We selected LED lighting because it reduces energy use by more than 55%, and provides superior lamp life, often greater than eight years, which is three to four times longer than other lighting technologies," according to Jay Black, SL Green's Director of Sustainability. "SL Green reviewed a variety of products comparing cost, efficiency, quality and warranty, ultimately selecting Seesmart Technologies, a leading LED manufacturer based in Simi Valley, California."

"LED equipment allows us to significantly impact lifecycle costs," said Mr. Piccinich. Affecting energy use and lamp life, 90% of lighting's lifecycle costs, will yield a project payback of only three years, providing $4.5M in total lifecycle savings." In March 2012, SL Green installed 7,500 LED units within sixteen suburban division (Reckson) buildings, totaling more than 2.5 million square feet in its Westchester & Fairfield County portfolios including 360 Hamilton Avenue and 140 Grand Street in White Plains, New York; 200 & 500 Summit Lake Drive in Valhalla, New York; and 680/750 Washington Blvd and Landmark Square, in Stamford, Connecticut.

According to John Barnes, Senior Vice President and Senior Director of Reckson, a division of SL Green, "Through our market-leading program, the LED retrofit is the latest example of how we are utilizing sustainability to improve our business. It saves both SL Green and our tenants money, reduces energy waste and contributes to our best in class experience."

In July, 2012, SL Green will begin the next phase of its LED program to retrofit 4.5 million square feet in its NYC portfolio, including 420 Lexington Avenue, 100 Church Street, 919 Third Avenue and 125 Park Avenue. SL Green anticipates this project will be completed in August 2012, establishing the foundation for future LED and other efficiency projects throughout its Class A commercial office portfolio.

New York, NY – December 17, 2007 – SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) today announced the completion of its $25 million capital improvement program at 521 Fifth Avenue, a 39-story office tower containing 462,853 rentable square feet. Located on Fifth Avenue at 43rd Street, the building is the most recent example of SL Green’ s ongoing strategic repositioning efforts aimed at delivering greater value from its properties, particularly in the Grand Central Terminal submarket.

The redevelopment of 521 Fifth Avenue is most visible by the restored façade of Deer Island granite and new glass and stainless steel storefront. Inside, SL Green has completely redesigned the lobby with Bianco Romano marble, tiger wood paneling and stainless steel accents, and new prominent entrance. The building also features new stone clad elevator cabs, upgraded security systems, new corridors and bathrooms, new windows and enhanced building infrastructure.

Since the third quarter of 2006 when SL Green commenced its capital improvement program at 521 Fifth Avenue, the building has signed 125,000 square feet of office leases with existing tenants seeking to lock in value and new tenants -- both attracted by the building’ s repositioned appeal and location. Occupancy levels have remained high at 97 percent. Noteworthy new leases executed during this period include renowned asset manager, Shelby Collum Davis & Co. LLP, UK reinsurance firm, Hiscox, Inc, leading executive search firm, Sextant Search Partners, programming production and distribution company, Starz Media LLC, prominent father-daughter wealth management team, Alexandra and James (IDB Capital Corporation) and Royal Healthcare of Long Island.

In the second quarter of 2007, Circuit City Stores, Inc., a leading national retailer, signed a new 15-year lease covering 25,866 square feet for part of the ground floor and the entire second floor. Circuit City’ s move to 521 Fifth Avenue was impressive for its size but was also recognized for signaling the emergence of large national retailers in an area of Fifth Avenue more traditionally dominated by smaller stores.

“The repositioning of 521 Fifth Avenue is a great example of the type of commercial real estate value creation SL Green has become associated with,” commented Steven Durels, Director of Leasing and Real Property. “We are very pleased with our leasing results at the building since the start of our redevelopment program as these serve to acknowledge our vision for this Class A property as well as the continuing appeal of the Grand Central Terminal submarket where we currently own and manage sixteen office towers with over 8.6 million square feet.”

Considered the largest intra-Meadowlands submarket transaction of 2010, and one of the largest completed since Barnes and Noble signed a 29,861-square-foot lease at the same building in 2008, KnowledgePoint360 will relocate from its current headquarters at 150 Meadowlands Parkway in Secaucus, NJ.  The move is scheduled for the third quarter of 2011.

CB Richard Ellis’ Gregory Barkan with SL Green’s Clark Briffel represented SL Green, while Cushman & Wakefield’s Ed Duenas and Mark Graham co-brokered the transaction for the tenant with Jonathan Varholak and Michael Joyce of Richards Barry Joyce & Partners.

“Due to the significant amount of capital required, larger headquarter relocations are rare these days.  This transaction, much like Barnes and Noble, is a testament to the quality of the real estate our firm delivers,” said John Barnes Senior Vice President and Senior Director of SL Green Realty Corp.  He added that among the factors driving the transaction are the building’s recent multi-million dollar renovation, which features a stunning architecturally distinct lobby; an extensive restroom and common area renovation incorporating the latest sustainable elements; a new state-of-the-art HVAC system; a new food service/fitness center amenity base; and a new landscaping design.  In addition, the office complex enjoys superior access to mass transit including a direct connection to several New Jersey Transit rail stations (including Secaucus Junction) and New York City’s Port Authority bus terminal. 

KnowledgePoint360 Group will occupy the entire fourth and fifth floors of the office complex’s south wing.  The 287,500-square-foot building consists of two, five-story wings, connected by a glass enclosed atrium. KnowledgePoint operates ten other offices in the United States and Europe.

According to Mr. Barkan, “This transaction continues to demonstrate the trend in New Jersey that top quality, well-located, modern generation assets will lease, while lesser quality, commoditized ones will continue to languish.  Today’s sophisticated corporate tenants desire these types of environments to attract and retain the best talent possible.”

Fitch Assigns First CMBS Large Loan Special Servicer Rating to Green Loan Services, LLC

Fitch Ratings-New York-24 June 2009: Fitch Ratings assigns Green Loan Services LLC (Green) a commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) large loan special servicer rating of 'CLLSS2-'. The rating reflects the extensive large loan commercial real estate workout experience of the company. This is the first assignment of this rating which was introduced in recently published Fitch criteria. While the company's experience with large loans is primarily in Manhattan the group has worked out and restructured large loans in other metropolitans such as San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington DC. Green's senior managers average 20+ years of related experience. The CLLSS rating will be used by Green to allow naming them special servicer on loans where the company holds either mezzanine or B-Note positions or for a third party. The rating does not qualify an entity to special service a pool of conduit loans, only single large loans within a securitization.

While Green has a strong commercial real estate background, the company has very limited CMBS experience. Fitch will closely monitor the firm during its first year as a rated CMBS servicer to ensure that CMBS specific standards are met. Green is currently named special servicer on four CMBS loans totaling $831 million. Fitch deems the special servicer rating of 'CSSLL2-' sufficient to meet the requirements stated in current transaction documents as 'CSS2'.

Green is a wholly owned subsidiary of SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), a self-administered and self-managed REIT based in New York City. SL Green was formed in 1997 and primarily owns, acquires, manages and repositions office properties located in Manhattan.

Fitch rates large loan commercial special servicers on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest rating. Within each of these rating levels, Fitch further differentiates ratings by plus (+) or and minus (-) as well as the flat rating. For more information about Fitch commercial mortgage servicer ratings or rating criteria, refer to the report titled 'U.S. Commercial Mortgage Servicer Rating Criteria', dated June 19, 2009, available on Fitch's web site, 'www.fitchratings.com'.

Mr. Mathias and Mr. Hughes both will continue to report to Mr. Holliday, who remains as CEO while relinquishing the President’s title.

This is especially true in the cases of Andrew and Greg, whose efforts and leadership have been instrumental to our success.
