The Company is the only publicly held REIT that specializes in this niche.

(NYSE:&nbsp; SLG) today reported increased leasing activity&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Leading the way was the 10-year, 228,000-square-foot early renewal of BMW of Manhattan, Inc. at 555 West 57th Street.&nbsp; </p><p>Also highlighting the fourth quarter were a 10-year, 75,000-square-foot new lease with DE Shaw Research, LLC<strong> </strong>covering seven floors at Tower 45, located at 120 W. 45th Street and an 11-year, 33,000 square foot expansion with Debevoise &amp; Plimpton, LLP at 919 Third Avenue.&nbsp; Both transactions pre-lease spaces that were scheduled to become vacant in 2011.</p><p>Additionally, SL Green announced the completion of a 15-year retail lease with Aeropostale.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&quot;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,&quot; said Andrew Mathias, President and Chief Investment Officer of SL Green.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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&nbsp;with Aeropostale anchors the building's retail repositioning with additional opportunity for further value creation in the remaining space and signage.&quot;</p><p>&quot;The New York City office market got off to a slow start in 2009,&quot; noted Steven Durels, Executive Vice President, Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green.&nbsp; &quot;However, we definitely saw a steady improvement in transaction velocity as 2009 progressed. &nbsp;Direct vacancy has stabilized and quality sublease availability is shrinking.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>There were 2.25 million square feet leased in Manhattan during the month of December according to Cushman &amp; Wakefield, Inc.&nbsp; The last two times monthly leasing activity exceeded 2 million square feet was in July 2009 and June 2008.</p><p>&quot;Likewise, we are seeing an increasing number of in-place tenants with expirations beyond 2010 initiating longer-term renewal and expansion discussions,&quot; said Durels. &quot;It appears that many companies realize the market is beginning to bottom-out and are fearful that rents will rise before their leases expire.&nbsp; These early renewals like the BMW transaction permit us to substantially reduce our near-to-mid term portfolio rollover.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>Overall, Durels reported that the Company signed 191 Manhattan leases covering more than 1,480,000 square feet for the full year. &nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Company's Reckson division, which manages its suburban portfolio in Westchester and Connecticut, reported 29 deals topping 346,000 square feet.&nbsp; 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. </p><p><strong>Company Profile </strong></p><p>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 December 31, 2009, the Company owned interests in 29 New York City office properties totaling approximately 23,211,200 square feet, making it New York's largest office landlord.

(NYSE:&nbsp;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.&nbsp; </p><p>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.&nbsp; 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. </p><p>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.&nbsp; Additional upgrades include improvements to the fire/life safety equipment, vertical transportation, &nbsp;security and visitor management systems.&nbsp; 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 d&eacute;cor.&nbsp; Woertendyke Adjah Associates, Inc. (WAAI) and McGovern &amp; Company were retained to oversee the design and construction of the project.</p><p>&quot;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,&quot; said Edward V. Piccinich, SL Green Executive Vice President.</p><p>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.&nbsp; </p><p>&quot;Our goal was to radically change one's first impression of the building, and to elevate its profile along the 34th Street Corridor,&quot; added Mr. Piccinich.</p><p>&quot;The quality of our re-development design was instrumental in pre-leasing 40 percent of the building to The Segal Company,&quot; said Steven Durels, SL Green Director of Leasing and Real Property. &quot;We've had tremendous interest in the building from a wide variety of tenant users.&quot;</p><p>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.</p><p>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.&nbsp; 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.</p><p>According to Mr. Piccinich, &quot;Developing the 34th Street site required a great level of precision, given the abutting buildings to the West and to the North.&nbsp; 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.&quot;</p><p>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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Tishman Construction managed the project, working with architect The Phillips Group.</p><p>&quot;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,&quot; stated Mr. Piccinich.&nbsp; &quot;We successfully completed construction on time and within budget for what was described as 2007's &quot;Retail Deal of the Year.&quot;&nbsp; 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.&quot; </p><p><strong>About SL Green Realty Corp.</strong></p><p>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.
