Item 8.01.            Other Events
 
On September 24, 2010, SL Green Realty Corp. (the “Company”) announced that it realized a gain upon the completion of the sale of 510 Madison Avenue by Macklowe Properties to Boston Properties and the concurrent retirement of related debt held by the Company in connection with that property.   The Company also announced that its business has been positively impacted by better than expected leasing results and strong returns from the Company’s structured finance investment program, offset in part by property sales and certain financing initiatives.
 
In December 2009 and February 2010, the Company purchased the first mortgage loan and senior mezzanine loan on 510 Madison Avenue with a then outstanding aggregate balance of $249.3 million for $180.5 million.  As a result of the sale of 510 Madison Avenue, the Company received full repayment of these loans plus the reimbursement of certain costs.  The Company has realized an unleveraged internal rate of return in excess of 55% on its investment.
