NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 11, 2018--
SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), New York City’s largest office
landlord, today announced that, together with its joint venture partner,
Ivanhoe Cambridge, have entered into a contract to sell the leasehold
office condominium at 1745 Broadway in Manhattan for a sale price of
$633 million, or $939 per square foot, to an institutional client of
Invesco Real Estate. In addition, SL Green has separately entered into
contracts to sell two suburban office properties, 115-117 Stevens Avenue
in Valhalla, NY and Reckson Executive Park in Rye Brook, NY, to
different buyers for a combined sale price of approximately $67 million.
The sales of 1745 Broadway and 115-117 Stevens Avenue are expected to
close in the second quarter of 2018, while the sale of Reckson Executive
Park is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2018, subject
to customary closing conditions.
These transactions are expected to generate combined net proceeds to SL
Green of approximately $190 million, which will be used for the
Company’s $1.5 billion stock repurchase program. To date, the Company
has repurchased a total of 12,258,203 shares.

heart of Midtown West, just three blocks from Central Park and Columbus
Circle. The building occupies the entire block front between 55th and
56th Streets and is currently 100 percent leased.
SL Green’s Co-Chief Investment Officer, David Schonbraun, commented,
“After securing a long-term lease +extension with investment grade
tenant, Random House, and stabilizing the asset, we determined that this
was the right time to monetize our success with the property and
redeploy that capital into more accretive investment opportunities,
including our share repurchase program.”
115-117 Stevens includes two office buildings comprising a total of
178,000 square feet and Reckson Executive Park, located at 1-6
International Drive, consists of six Class-A office buildings totaling

support the stock repurchase program and strengthen our portfolio.”
