SL Green to Acquire Iconic SoHo Property

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), an S&P 500 company and New York City’s

largest commercial property owner, today announced a definitive

agreement to acquire a 90% interest based on a gross asset valuation of

$255 million, in The SoHo Building. The acquisition of this iconic,

mixed-use property, which came about as a result of a long-standing

relationship with the seller, will increase the company’s considerable

presence in SoHo.

Located at 110 Greene Street in the heart of SoHo, one of New York

City’s most desirable submarkets, the building offers office and

residential tenants unparalleled views, along with large floor plates

and substantial common areas. The property features 13 stories,

irreplaceable as one of the tallest buildings in the historic district.

Retail space at the building, along Greene and Mercer Streets, offers

existing and future tenants high visibility on two of the strongest

retail streets in Manhattan. Notwithstanding the building’s current

prominence in the submarket, SL Green plans additional improvements to

the property as it reintroduces it to the marketplace.

The transaction increases SL Green’s sizable footprint in SoHo, adding

the submarket’s best office space to the Company’s commercial portfolio,

and extending its substantial retail presence that currently includes

102 Greene Street, 121 Greene Street, 115 Spring Street, 131-137 Spring

Street and 530-536 Broadway. The SoHo portfolio complements SL Green’s

major retail investment interests in other heavily-trafficked New York

City locations, including Midtown’s Fifth Avenue Gold Coast, Upper

Madison Avenue and Times Square.

SL Green Managing Director, Brett Herschenfeld, commented, “This

transaction presents SL Green with a unique opportunity to acquire and

further enhance the property into one of the most compelling multi-use

assets in Downtown New York. The property is truly fitting of its iconic

name.”

The property is being sold by a joint venture controlled by the family

of the late legendary real estate entrepreneur Tony Goldman, a pioneer

in the transformation of SoHo into the world renowned area that it is

today. Janet Goldman commented, “Tony was a brilliant real estate

developer with the ability to revolutionize markets. We are excited to

see SL Green utilize its expertise to further realize Tony’s vision for

this world-class asset.”

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015,

subject to customary closing conditions.
