SL Green Announces Three Lease Transactions Totaling 318,000 Square Feet
Renewal and Expansion with Premier New York City Tenants

NEW YORK, Oct 27, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SL Green Realty Corp. /quotes/zigman/187150/quotes/nls/slg SLG -0.63% today reported that it had entered into three lease transactions totaling 317,758 square feet, including 95,271 square feet of expansions. The deals represent a continuation of already strong 2011 leasing momentum for New York City's largest office landlord, as it increases its Manhattan portfolio occupancy.

The leases announced today are:

-- Beth Israel Medical Center, which signed a 112,941-square-foot, 15-year lease renewal for office space at 555 West 57th Street. The world-renowned health care provider remains at the 20-story, 975,983-square-foot building, where it has been a long-term tenant. The building is 99% occupied.

-- Bloomingdales signed a 147,652-square-foot, 10-year lease for office space at 919 Third Avenue. The transaction includes a 37,454 square foot expansion. The 1.5 million-square-foot, 47-story tower is 100% occupied.

-- HealthFirst signed a 57,817-square-foot, 20-year expansion, taking an additional full floor at 100 Church Street in downtown Manhattan. The health insurance provider, which signed its first lease at the building last year, will now occupy a total of 229,817 square feet. The property is now 83% leased following SL Green's repositioning of the asset and lease-up of space, which had previously been vacant for five years during prior ownership.

"We believe these significant long-term leases are a confirmation of continued healthy leasing activity as we approach year end," commented Steven Durels, executive vice president, Director of Leasing and Real Property for SL Green. "Well-established organizations in a wide variety of industry sectors continue to evaluate their long-term space requirements and take advantage of current opportunities to lock in rents at premier SL Green owned and operated buidings."

Josh Kuriloff of Cushman & Wakefield represented Beth Israel; CBRE's Scott Gottlieb and Michael Laginestra acted on behalf of Bloomingdales; and Derek Trulson and Bill Peters of Jones Lang LaSalle represented HealthFirst.
