PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2004 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
to be held on May 19, 2004

We are sending this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to our stockholders on or about April 15, 2004 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of SL Green Realty Corp. for use at the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the Grand Hyatt New York Hotel, Park Avenue at Grand Central Terminal, 109 East 42nd Street, New York, New York or at any postponement or adjournment of the meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

If our records show that you were a stockholder of our common stock at the close of business on March 31, 2004, which is referred to as the record date, you are entitled to receive notice of the meeting and to vote the shares of common stock that you held on the record date. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote for each matter to be voted upon.

What is the purpose of the meeting?

At the annual meeting, you will be asked:

•: to vote upon the election of one Class I director;
•: to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004; and
•: to consider and act upon any other matters that may properly be brought before the meeting and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at this meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. As of the record date, there were 38,546,340 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting.

What vote is needed to approve each proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of record of a plurality of all of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary for the election of the Class I director. The affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of all of the votes cast at the meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the ratification of our independent auditors and the approval of any other

matters properly presented at the meeting for stockholder approval. Abstentions do not constitute a vote "for" or "against" any matter being voted on at the annual meeting and will not be counted as "votes cast," although they will count toward the presence of a quorum. Broker "non-votes," or proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such broker or nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other entity entitled to vote such shares on a particular matter with respect to which such broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power, will be treated in the same manner as abstentions for purposes of the annual meeting.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy card?

If you cast a vote by proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is voted by:

•: filing a written notice revoking the proxy with our Secretary at our address;
•: signing and forwarding to us a proxy dated later; or
•: appearing in person and voting by ballot at the meeting.

If you attend the meeting, you may vote in person whether or not you have previously given a proxy, but your presence (without further action) at the meeting will not constitute revocation of a previously given proxy.

How do I vote?

We request that you complete, sign, date and promptly return the accompanying proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. You may also attend the meeting in person and vote in person. If your shares of common stock are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will receive instructions from your nominee which you must follow in order to have your shares of common stock voted. Such stockholders who wish to vote in person at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds their shares of common stock of record.

How is my vote counted?

If you properly execute a proxy in the accompanying form, and if we receive it prior to voting at the meeting, the shares of common stock that the proxy represents will be voted in the manner specified on the proxy. If no specification is made, the common stock will be voted for the election of the sole nominee for the Class I director named in this proxy statement and for ratification of our Audit Committee's selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, and as recommended by our Board of Directors with regard to all other matters in its discretion. It is not anticipated that any matters other than those set forth in the proxy statement will be presented at the meeting. If other matters are presented, proxies will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders.

What other information should I review before voting?

For your review, our 2003 annual report, including financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, is being mailed to you concurrently with the mailing of this proxy statement. You may also obtain, free of charge, a copy of our 2003 annual report on our website at http://www.slgreen.com. You may also obtain a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains additional information about our company, free of charge, by directing your request in writing to SL Green Realty Corp., 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170-1881, Attention: Investor Relations. The 2003 annual report and the Annual Report on Form 10-K, however, are not part of the proxy solicitation material.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

This solicitation of proxies is made by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. We will pay the cost of the solicitation of proxies. We have retained Morrow & Co., Inc. at an aggregate estimated cost of $4,500, plus out-of-pocket expenses, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five members and is divided into three classes, with the directors in each class serving for a term of three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The term of one class expires at each annual meeting of stockholders.

At the annual meeting, one director will be elected to serve until the 2007 annual meeting and until that director's successor is duly elected and qualified. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has recommended Edwin Thomas Burton, III to our Board of Directors as a nominee for election to serve as a Class I director. This nominee is currently serving as a Class I director. Following the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board has nominated Edwin Thomas Burton, III to serve as a Class I director. Our Board anticipates that this nominee will serve, if elected, as a director. However, if this nominee is unable to accept election, proxies voted in favor of this nominee will be voted for the election of such other person or persons as our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may recommend to our Board.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the Nominee.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board in identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, recommending to the Board the director nominees to be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, recommending to the Board the directors to serve on each of the Board's committees, developing and recommending to the Board the corporate governance principles and guidelines applicable to our company and directing the Board in an annual review of its performance. Our Board approved a written charter for our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a copy of which is available on our website at http://www.slgreen.com. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was established in December 2003 by our Board to replace our Nominating Committee which consisted of Messrs. Burton, Alschuler and Levy. Our Nominating Committee held one meeting during fiscal year 2003, in which it nominated (in March 2003) two Class III directors whose nominations were successfully voted on at our 2003 annual meeting.

Executive Committee. Subject to the supervision and oversight of our Board of Directors, our Executive Committee, which consists of Stephen L. Green, Marc Holliday and John H. Alschuler, Jr., has the authority to approve the acquisition, financing and disposition of investments by us and to authorize the execution of certain contracts and agreements, including those relating to the borrowing of money by us, and to exercise generally all other powers of our Board of Directors, except for those which require action by all directors or the independent directors under our articles of incorporation or bylaws or under applicable law. To date, our full Board of Directors has approved all of our acquisitions, financings and dispositions of investments.

Disclosure Committee. We maintain a Disclosure Committee consisting of members of our executive management and senior employees. Our Disclosure Committee meets at least quarterly. The purpose of our Disclosure Committee is to bring together representatives from our core business lines and employees involved in the preparation of our financial statements so that the group can discuss any issues or matters of which the members are aware that should be considered for disclosure in our public SEC filings. Our Disclosure Committee reports to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and, as appropriate, to our Audit Committee.

Director Compensation

Directors of our company who are also employees receive no additional compensation for their services as directors. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, each independent director received an annual fee in the amount of $25,000. Each independent director also received $1,000 for each meeting of our Board of Directors attended and $500 for each committee meeting attended, provided such committee meeting did not occur on a day on which a Board of Directors meeting was held. The annual fee payable to our independent directors is payable quarterly, half in stock and half in cash, unless an independent director elects to have the director fee paid 100% in stock. Any portion of the annual fee that is paid in stock is made under our Amended 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended. The meeting fees are paid in cash. One of our independent directors who resides outside of New York is reimbursed for expenses of attending Board of Director and committee meetings.

The Chairman of our Audit Committee received an additional annual fee of $6,000, which was payable in cash. In addition, each member of our Audit Committee was entitled to receive a fee of $4,000 per meeting for each of the two special meetings of the Audit Committee held independently of meetings of our Board of Directors. The special meeting fees are paid in cash. Each independent director, upon initial election or appointment to our Board of Directors, receives options under our Amended 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at the market price of the common stock at the close of business on the day preceding the date

of grant. In addition, under our Amended 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, each independent director is entitled to an annual grant of options to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock, which are priced at the close of business on the day preceding our Board of Director's annual meeting, all of which vest on the date of grant.

For the 2004 fiscal year, our Board of Directors has approved the following changes in compensation received by our independent directors: (i) the annual fee paid to the Chairman of our Audit Committee has been increased from $6,000 to $7,500, payable in cash; (ii) the Chairman of our Compensation Committee shall be paid an annual fee in the amount of $5,000, payable in cash, and the Chairman of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be paid an annual fee in the amount of $4,000, payable in cash; (iii) the fee for each committee meeting attended has been increased from $500 to $1,000; and (iv) each independent director shall receive an annual grant (reviewed annually) of 500 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to our Amended 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, all of which will vest on the first business day, one year from the date of grant, subject to the independent director being a member of our Board on the date such award is expected to vest. Except as described above, there are no additional changes to the fees and stock awards that each independent director is entitled to receive for the 2004 fiscal year.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Our Audit Committee has selected the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, subject to ratification of this appointment by our common stockholders. Ernst & Young LLP has served as our independent auditors since our formation in June 1997 and is considered by our management to be well-qualified. Ernst & Young LLP has advised us that neither it nor any member thereof has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in our company or any of our subsidiaries in any capacity.

Fee Disclosure

Audit Fees

Fees for audit services totaled approximately $1,006,000 in 2003 and $832,950 in 2002. Audit fees include fees associated with our annual audit and the reviews of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. In addition, audit fees include fees for public filings in connection with various property acquisitions, joint venture audits, and services relating to public filings in connection with preferred and common stock offerings. Our joint venture partners paid approximately half of the joint venture audit fees. Audit fees also include fees for accounting research and consultations.

Audit-Related Fees

Fees for audit-related services totaled approximately $279,000 in 2003 and $140,500 in 2002. The audit-related services principally include fees for operating expense and tax certiorari audits. In addition, the audit-related services include fees for agreed-upon procedures projects.

Tax Fees

Fees for tax services, including tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning totaled approximately $615,000 in 2003 and $481,000 in 2002.

All Other Fees

Fees for all other services not included above totaled none in 2003 and approximately $23,000 in 2002, principally including energy and steam studies, procurement programs to improve the operating performance at our properties and assist in the business continuity plan.

Our Audit Committee has considered whether (and has determined that) the provision by Ernst & Young LLP of the services described under "All Other Fees" is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence from both management and our company.

A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the annual meeting, will be given the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures of our Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit services and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors, except for any de minimis non-audit services. Non-audit services are considered de minimis if (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services constitutes less than 5% of the total amount of revenues we paid to our independent auditors during the fiscal year in which they are provided; (ii) we did not recognize such services at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to our Audit Committee's attention and approved prior to the completion of the audit by our Audit Committee or any of its member(s) who has authority to give such approval. None of the fees reflected above were approved by our Audit Committee pursuant to this de minimis exception. Our Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members who is an independent director the authority to grant pre-approvals.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent auditors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following is a report by our Audit Committee regarding the responsibilities and functions of our Audit Committee.

Our Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors, in accordance with our Audit Committee Charter, which our Audit Committee amended in 2003. Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, our Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

Our Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for auditing our financial statements and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as currently in effect. Our Audit Committee received the written disclosure and the letter from our independent auditors required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as currently in effect, discussed with our independent auditors the auditors' independence from both management and our company and considered the compatibility of our independent auditors' provision of non-audit services to our company with their independence.

Our Audit Committee discussed with our independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. Our Audit Committee met with our independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting, including off-balance sheet investments.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, but subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of our Audit Committee referred to below, our Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors (and our Board of Directors has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for filing with the SEC.

Our Board of Directors has determined that our Audit Committee has at least one "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 401(h) of SEC Regulation S-K, such expert being Mr. Edwin Thomas Burton, III, and that he is "independent," as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The members of our Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting. Committee members rely, without independent investigation or verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and independent auditors. Accordingly, our Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or that Ernst & Young LLP is in fact "independent."

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

This section of our proxy statement contains information about a variety of our corporate governance policies and practices. In this section, you will find information about how we are complying with the NYSE's final corporate governance rules that were approved by the SEC. We are committed to operating our business under strong and accountable corporate governance practices. You are encouraged to visit the corporate governance section of the "Investors" page of our corporate website at www.slgreen.com to view or to obtain copies of our committee charters, code of business conduct and ethics and corporate governance principles. Additional information relating to the corporate governance of our company is also included in other sections of this proxy statement.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address significant issues of corporate governance and set forth procedures by which our Board carries out its responsibilities. Among the areas addressed by the Corporate Governance Guidelines are director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisors, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession, annual performance evaluation of the Board and management responsibilities. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing and periodically reviewing the adequacy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines and will recommend, as appropriate, proposed changes to the Board.

Director Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a majority of our directors serving on our Board must be independent as required by the listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC. Our Board has affirmatively determined, based upon its review of all relevant facts and circumstances, that each of the following directors and director nominee has no direct or indirect material relationship with us and is independent under the listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC: Messrs. Edwin T. Burton, III, John H. Alschuler, Jr. and John S. Levy. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Green and Holliday, our two other directors, are not independent because they are also executive officers of our company.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was designed to assist our directors, executive officers and employees in complying with the law, resolving moral and ethical issues that may arise and in complying with our policies and procedures. Among the areas addressed by the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are compliance with applicable laws, conflicts of interest, use and protection of our company's assets, confidentiality, communications with the public, accounting matters, records retention, fair dealing, discrimination and harassment and health and safety.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has determined that our Audit Committee has at least one "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 401(h) of SEC Regulation S-K, such expert being Mr. Edwin T. Burton, III, and that he is "independent," as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Mr. Burton has agreed to serve as our audit committee financial expert.

Communications with our Board of Directors

We have a process by which stockholders and/or other parties may communicate with our Board of Directors or individual directors. Any such communications may be sent to our Board by U.S. mail or

overnight delivery and should be directed to Andrew S. Levine, Secretary, at SL Green Realty Corp., 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170-1881, who will forward them on to the intended recipient. Any such communications may be made anonymously.

Whistleblowing and Whistleblower Protection Policy

Our Audit Committee has established procedures for (1) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by our company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and (2) the confidential and anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. If you wish to contact our Audit Committee to report complaints or concerns relating to the financial reporting of our company, you may do so in writing to the Chairman of our Audit Committee, c/o General Counsel, SL Green Realty Corp., 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170-1881. Any such communications may be made anonymously.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

We encourage each member of our Board of Directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. All of our directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 7, 2003.

Identification of Director Candidates

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our Board of Directors in identifying and reviewing director candidates to determine whether they qualify for membership on the Board and for recommending to the Board the director nominees to be considered for election at our annual meetings of stockholders.

In making recommendations to our Board, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment, skill, diversity, education, experience with businesses and other organizations comparable to our company, the interplay of the candidate's experience with the experience of other Board members, the candidate's industry knowledge and experience, the ability of a nominee to devote sufficient time to the affairs of our company and the extent to which the candidate generally would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit and consider suggestions of our directors or management regarding possible nominees. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also procure the services of outside sources or third parties to assist in the identification of director candidates.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the same standards in considering candidates submitted by stockholders as it does in evaluating candidates submitted by members of our Board. Any recommendations by stockholders should follow the procedures outlined under "Stockholder Proposals" in this proxy statement and should also provide the reasons supporting a candidate's recommendation, the candidate's qualifications and the candidate's written consent to being considered as a director nominee. In addition, any stockholder recommending a director candidate should submit information demonstrating the number of shares of common stock that he or she owns.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-management directors serving on our Board of Directors meet in executive session after each regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee without the presence of any directors or other persons who are part of our management. The executive sessions regularly are chaired by the chair of the Board committee having jurisdiction over the particular subject matter to be discussed at the particular session or portion of a session.

2003 Long-Term Outperformance Compensation Program

At the May 2003 meeting of our Board of Directors, our Board ratified a long-term, seven-year compensation program for certain members of senior management. The program, which measures our performance over a 48-month period (unless terminated earlier) commencing April 1, 2003, provides that holders of our common equity are to achieve a 40% total return, or baseline return, during the measurement period over a base share price of $30.07 per share before any restricted stock awards are granted. Plan participants will receive an award of restricted stock in an amount between 8% and 10% of the excess total return over the baseline return. At the end of the four-year measurement period, 40% of the award will vest on the measurement date and 60% of the award will vest ratably over the subsequent three years based on continued employment. The total value of the award under the program is capped at $25.5 million. Any restricted stock to be issued under the program will be allocated under our Amended 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, which was previously approved through a stockholder vote in May 2002.

Employment and Noncompetition Agreements

In general, each employment and noncompetition agreement provides for certain benefits in the event of termination of the named executive officer by us without "Cause" or resignation by the executive officer with "Good Reason" (as such terms are defined in each agreement). Subject to certain exceptions, these benefits generally include the continued payment of the executive officer's base salary and bonus during the remaining term of the agreement, immediate or continued vesting of all equity awards as well as continued entitlement to receive other benefits conferred under the agreement for such remaining term. Under each agreement, the executive officer is entitled to certain specified benefits, including continued payment of base salary and, in some cases, bonus, in the event of his death or disability. In addition, each agreement, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits the

executive officer from engaging, directly or indirectly, during the term of his employment and for a specified period following termination of employment, in certain competitive activities.

Certain specific terms of each agreement are set forth below.

Stephen L. Green's employment and noncompetition agreement was amended in 2000 and was set to expire on August 20, 2002. Effective August 20, 2002, Mr. Green entered into a new employment and noncompetition agreement with us that runs through December 31, 2007. The agreement provides for an automatic renewal for successive one-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is given at least three months prior to the expiration of such renewal term. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Green receives, among other things, an annual base salary of $600,000, effective January 1, 2003, and received a grant of 175,000 shares of restricted common stock in January 2003, 50% of which will vest equally over five years and is based solely on continued employment and the remaining 50% of which will vest equally over five years, subject to the attainment of specified financial performance goals during the vesting period. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Green is also entitled to cash payments from us with respect to tax payments due on the portion of the restricted stock grant that vests each year. Mr. Green is subject to certain restrictive covenants.

Marc Holliday's amended and restated employment and noncompetition agreement, dated January 17, 2001, was amended and restated in connection with his promotion to Chief Executive Officer in January 2004, to extend it through January 2010. It has a term of six years, which will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either Mr. Holliday or our company serves the required notice under the agreement. Mr. Holliday's agreement provides for annual salary of $600,000, to be adjusted upwards every two years in the event of increases in the consumer price index. Under the term of his original agreement, 127,500 shares of Mr. Holliday's restricted common stock had yet to vest. Subsequently, pursuant to the terms of his amended and restated employment and noncompetition agreement, Mr. Holliday received a grant of 175,000 additional shares of restricted common stock.

However, the vesting of one-half of the original restricted stock grant and the subsequent restricted stock grants is further conditioned upon the attainment of specified financial performance goals during the vesting period. Mr. Holliday's amended agreement also provided for a signing bonus of 95,000 shares of stock that are immediately vested, subject to a prohibition on disposition for two years. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Holliday is also entitled to cash payments from us with respect to tax payments due on the vested bonus stock and on the portion of his restricted stock grants that vest each year. The amended agreement also continues a certain non-recourse loan from us in the initial principal amount of $1,000,000, which is forgivable upon the attainment of specified financial performance goals prior to December 31, 2006, provided that Mr. Holliday remains employed by us until January 17, 2007.

On February 3, 2004, Mr. Reid entered into a separation agreement with us pursuant to which he has agreed that his employment will terminate on April 30, 2004. Upon his termination and execution and delivery of a release, we will pay Mr. Reid a pro rata portion of his annual bonus and an additional cash amount equal to three (3) months of his base salary. In addition, certain of Mr. Reid's options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock and certain of Mr. Reid's shares of restricted stock, which were unvested and unexercisable immediately before February 26, 2004, became vested and exercisable. With respect to a certain option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, 15,000 unvested options became initially exercisable upon the signing of the separation agreement and 35,000

unvested options will become vested and exercisable upon Mr. Reid's termination and delivery of a release. The balance of the unvested options will be forfeited by Mr. Reid. Mr. Reid shall continue to be subject to certain restrictive covenants.

Report on Executive Compensation

The following is a report by our Compensation Committee regarding our executive compensation objectives, executive compensation program and the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer.

Executive Compensation Objective. The objective of our executive compensation program is to attract, retain and motivate talented executives that will maximize stockholder value. In order to achieve this objective, in addition to annual base salaries, the executive compensation program utilizes a combination of long-term incentives through equity-based compensation and annual incentives through cash bonuses. The program is intended to align the interests of executives with those of our stockholders by linking a portion of executive compensation directly to increases in stockholder value. We seek to provide total compensation to our executive officers which is competitive with total compensation paid by REITs similar to us.

Proceedings of the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee determines compensation for our executive officers and is comprised of the independent directors, John H. Alschuler, Jr. (Chairman), Edwin Thomas Burton, III and John S. Levy. Final compensation determinations for each fiscal year generally are made after the end of the fiscal year and after audited financial statements for such year become available. At that time, (i) base salaries for the following fiscal year are set to the extent not already dictated by the terms of existing employment agreements, (ii) cash bonuses, if any, will be determined for the past year's performance and (iii) option grants, if any, will generally be made.

Our Compensation Committee exercises independent discretion in respect of executive compensation matters. With respect to the compensation of our named executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, our Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer.

The following is a discussion of each element of our executive compensation:

Annual Base Salary. Base salaries for each of our named executive officers are the subject of the employment agreement between us and such named executive officer. Each named executive officer's employment agreement provides that such officer's base salary will be reviewed no less frequently than annually.

Annual Incentives. Annual incentives are provided in the form of cash bonuses to be paid if certain performance objectives are achieved and as provided by an executive's employment agreement. In the future, our Compensation Committee may award cash bonuses based primarily upon our Funds from Operations for past periods. Cash bonuses will also be subject to adjustment based upon our Compensation Committee's evaluation of an executive's personal performance.

Long-Term Incentives. Long-term incentives are provided to executives through the grant of stock options or awards. The grant of stock options or awards are intended to align the executive's long-term objectives with those of our stockholders. Our Amended 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, including our 2003 Long-Term Outperformance Compensation Program, is administered by our Compensation Committee, which has the discretion to determine those individuals to whom options or awards will be granted, the number of shares subject to options or awards and other terms and conditions of the options or awards. For an overview of our 2003 Long-Term Outperformance Compensation Program, see "Executive Compensation—2003 Long-Term Outperformance Compensation Program."

2003 Chief Executive Officer Compensation. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, Stephen L. Green's base salary was $600,000 as determined by our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee also awarded to Mr. Green a $1,100,000 cash bonus. These awards were

determined by our Compensation Committee substantially in accordance with the policies described above relating to all of our named executive officers. In making such determinations, our Compensation Committee noted several factors, including our achievement of a 4.8% increase in Funds from Operations per share in 2003 over levels achieved in 2003 and total return to stockholders of 35.9% in 2003.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the deductibility on our tax return of compensation over $1 million to any of our named executive officers unless, in general, the compensation is paid pursuant to a plan which is performance-related, non-discretionary and has been approved by our stockholders. Our Compensation Committee's policy with respect to Section 162(m) is to make every reasonable effort to ensure that compensation is deductible to the extent permitted while simultaneously providing our executives with appropriate compensation for their performance. We paid compensation to certain of our named executive officers during 2003, a portion of which may be nondeductible under the limitations set forth in Section 162(m).

		Submitted by our Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors

The balance outstanding on this loan, including accrued interest, was $284,000 on December 31, 2003. In addition, the $300,000 loan shall be forgiven if and when the $1,000,000 loan that Mr. Holliday received pursuant to his amended and restated employment and non-competition agreement is forgiven.

Investments

The ownership interests in NJMA Centennial, an entity in which we held an indirect non-controlling 10% ownership interest, were sold in May 2003 for $4.5 million to NJMA Centennial Owners, LLC, the managing member of which is an affiliate of the Schultz Organization. The sole asset of NJMA Centennial is 865 Centennial Avenue, a 56,000 square foot office/industrial property located in Piscataway, New Jersey. Under NJMA Centennial's Operating Agreement, we had no authority with respect to the sale. Marc Holliday, one of our executive officers, invested $225,000 in a non-managing membership interest in the entity acquiring the property. Our Board of Directors determined that this was not an appropriate investment opportunity for us and approved the investment by the executive officer prior to the transaction occurring.

OTHER MATTERS

Solicitation of Proxies

We will pay the cost of solicitation of proxies. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional compensation for such activities. We will also request persons, firms and corporations holding shares in their names or in the names of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others, to send proxy materials to and obtain proxies from such beneficial owners. We will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. In addition, we intend to utilize the proxy solicitation services of Morrow & Co., Inc. at an aggregate estimated cost of $4,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by our Secretary no later than November 26, 2004 in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement relating to the 2005 meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

SL GREEN REALTY CORP.

AMENDED AND RESTATED AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Purpose

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of SL Green Realty Corp. (the "Company") has established an audit committee of certain independent directors (the "Committee") and has adopted and approved this amended and restated charter for the Committee. The Committee's primary functions are to:

1.: Assist Board oversight of (i) the integrity of the Company's financial statements, (ii) the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the qualifications and independence of the registered public accounting firm employed by the Company for the audit of the Company's financial statements (the "Independent Auditor"), (iv) the performance of the people responsible for the Company's internal audit function, and (v) the performance of the Company's Independent Auditors, including any third party employed by the Company for the purpose of performing all or any portion of the Company's internal audit function (the "Internal Auditor"),
2.: Prepare the report that rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") require be included in the Company's annual proxy statement, and
3.: Provide an open avenue of communication among the Company's Independent Auditors, its Internal Auditors, its management and its Board.

Organization

1.

The Committee will be composed of at least three directors, each of whom is financially literate (i.e., able to read and understand financial statements and aware of the functions of auditors for a company) or, in the judgement of the Board, able to become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee and each of whom must meet the independence requirements set forth, from time to time, in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and any other applicable laws, rules or regulations, including, without limitation, any rules promulgated by the SEC.

2.

At least one member of the Committee will be a person who has the following attributes:

(a): an understanding of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and financial statements;
(b): the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
(c): experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can be reasonably expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements, or experience supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;
(d): an understanding of internal accounting controls; and
(e): an understanding of audit committee functions.

A-1

3.: No director who serves on the audit committee of more than two other public companies may be a member of the Committee unless the Board determines such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to effectively serve on the Committee.
4.: The members of the Committee will be appointed, removed and replaced by, and in the sole discretion of, the Board.
5.: The Board will designate a member of the Committee to be the chairman of the Committee.
6.: The Committee will create its own rules of procedure, including rules regarding notice of meetings, quorum and voting. Such rules will be consistent with the Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Charter") and Bylaws (the "Bylaws") of the Company and with this charter.
7.: The Committee may create subcommittees to perform particular functions, either generally or in specific instances.
8.: Minutes will be kept with regard to each meeting of the Committee, which will record all actions taken by the Committee. The minutes will be maintained with the books and records of the Company. Copies of the minutes of each meeting of the Committee will be sent promptly after the meeting to all members of the Board.
9.: The Committee will report to the Board at all regular meetings of the Board or at such other times as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate.
10.: The Committee shall meet in person or telephonically at least four times a year at a time and place determined by the Committee chairman, with further meetings to occur when deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee or its chairman.
11.: The Committee may request members of management or others to attend meetings and provide pertinent information as necessary.

Powers

The Committee will have the authority to engage independent counsel, accounting and other advisors, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties. The Company will provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board, for payment of compensation (a) to the Independent Auditor employed by the Company to audit the financial statements of the Company and (b) to any advisors employed by the Committee.

The Committee may require any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's outside counsel or Independent Auditors to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee.

Responsibilities

The Committee will from time to time adopt any policies or procedures it deems necessary to ensure that the accounting and reporting practices of the Company are of the highest quality.

While the Committee has the powers and responsibilities set forth in this charter, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee to (i) plan or conduct audits, (ii) determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate or are in accordance with GAAP or applicable rules and regulations, or (iii) monitor and control risk assessment and management. These are the responsibilities of the Company's management and the Independent Auditor.

A-2

To fulfill its responsibilities, the Committee will:

Independent Auditors

1.: Be directly responsible for the appointment (subject to shareholder approval, if required by the Board), termination, compensation, and oversight, of any public accounting firm employed by the Company (including resolution of disagreements between management and the Independent Auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. Each such public accounting firm will report directly to the Committee.
2.: Have the sole authority to approve all audit engagement fees and terms, as well as all non-audit engagements of the Independent Auditors.
3.: Preapprove the fees and terms of all auditing services (including providing comfort letters in connection with securities offerings) and permitted non-audit services (including tax services) to be provided to the Company or its subsidiaries by the Company's Independent Auditors, except for non-audit services covered by the De Minimus Exception in Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members who is an independent director the authority to grant preapprovals.
4.: In order to evaluate the Independent Auditors' qualifications, performance and independence, at least annually obtain and review a report by the Independent Auditors describing: the firm's internal quality-control procedures; any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by government or professional authorities within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Company in order to assess the Independent Auditor's independence. This evaluation should include review of the partner of the Independent Auditor who has principal responsibility for its audits of the Company's financial statements and should take into account the opinions of management and the Internal Auditors (or the Company's personnel responsible for the internal audit function). In addition, the report will include a written statement of the fees billed for each of the following categories of services rendered by the Independent Auditor: (a) the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for the most recent fiscal year and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for that fiscal year; (b) information technology consulting services for the most recent fiscal year, in the aggregate and by each service (and separately identifying fees for such services relating to financial information systems, design and implementation); and (c) all other services rendered by the Independent Auditor for the most recent fiscal year, in the aggregate and by each service.
5.: Ensure that the lead partner of the Independent Auditor does not serve in that capacity for more than five years. Consider whether the Independent Auditor itself should be changed periodically.
6.: Ensure the Company's compliance with all applicable legal requirements regarding auditor independence, including the periodic rotation of the lead partner and other senior members of the Independent Auditor.
7.: Present to the Board its conclusions regarding the Independent Auditors' qualifications, performance and independence as a result of the evaluation described in the preceding three paragraphs.
8.: Meet regularly with the Company's Independent Auditors so that they can report on (a) all critical accounting policies and practices the Company uses or expects to use; and (b) all

A-3

alternative treatments of material financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management officials of the Company, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the Independent Auditors.

9.: Obtain and review, at least annually: a report from the Independent Auditors of any audit problems or difficulties and management's response, including any restrictions on the scope of the Independent Auditors' activities or access to information and any disagreements with management, and, if applicable, also including any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed by the Independent Auditors but were "passed" (including similar adjustments that were passed because individually they were not material); any communications between the audit team and the Independent Auditors' national office with respect to auditing or accounting issues presented by the engagement; any "management" or "internal control" letter issued, or proposed to be issued, by the Independent Auditors to the Company; and all other material written communications between the Independent Auditors and the management of the Company.
10.: Instruct the Independent Auditors that the Board and the Committee are the accountants' client.
11.: Meet separately, periodically, with management, with the Internal Auditors, and with the Independent auditors.
12.: Report regularly to the Board as to the quality and integrity of the Company's financial statements, the Company's compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, and the performance of the Company's internal audit function.
13.: Set clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the Independent Auditors.

Internal Audit

1.: Review the responsibilities, budget and staffing of the Company's internal audit function.
2.: Review any significant changes in the planned scope of the internal audit function.

Accounting and Reporting Process

1.: Review any major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the Company's selection or application of accounting principles and the development, selection and disclosure of critical accounting estimates.
2.: Review major issues as to the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies.
3.: Review analyses prepared by management and/or the Independent Auditors setting forth significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements, including analyses of the effects of alternative GAAP methods on the Company's financial statements, the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures on the financial statements of the Company.
4.: Review the audited financial statements and discuss them with management and the Independent Auditor. Based on that review, and the reviews performed by the Committee as described in paragraphs 1 through 3 under this Accounting and Reporting Process, make a recommendation to the Board relative to the inclusion of the Company's audited financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

A-4

5.: Obtain reports from management, parties responsible for the Company's internal audit function and the Independent Auditors, as necessary, regarding the compliance, or failure to comply, of the Company with applicable legal requirements and the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including disclosures of insider and affiliated party transactions.
6.: Review with management and the Independent Auditors any correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies and any employee complaints or published reports which raise material issues regarding the Company's financial statements or accounting policies.
7.: The Committee will discuss with the Independent Auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, "Communication with Audit Committees," as then in effect.

Other

1.: Discuss the annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the Independent Auditor, including the results of the Independent Auditor's reviews of the quarterly financial statements and the Company's disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" prior to the filing of each Form 10-K and Form 10-Q by the Company.
2.: Review the disclosures, if any, of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, prior to their certification of each annual or quarterly report filed by the Company with the SEC, of (a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and identify any material weakness in internal controls, and (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls.
3.: Review generally earnings press releases issued by the Company (paying particular attention to any use of "pro forma," or "adjusted" non-GAAP information and non-GAAP Financial Measures, as such term is defined under the rules of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies.
4.: Discuss and review policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken.
5.: Establish procedures for (a) the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and (b) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
6.: Conduct an annual evaluation of its own performance.
7.: Conduct an annual review of this charter and recommend to the Board any changes the Committee deems appropriate.
8.: Review with internal and external counsel, where appropriate, any legal matters that could have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
9.: Review accounting and financial human resources and succession planning within the Company.
10.: Submit the minutes of all meetings of the Committee to, or discuss the matters discussed at each Committee meeting with, the Board.
