Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Operating Partnership received a contribution of interest in the real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the management, leasing and construction companies which are referred to as the Service Corporation. All of the management, leasing and construction services that are provided to the properties that are wholly-owned by us and that are provided to certain joint ventures are conducted through SL Green Management LLC which is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to minimize the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our" and "us" means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2017 , noncontrolling investors held, in the aggregate, a 4.58% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are the primary beneficiary. See Note 11, "Noncontrolling Interests on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements." Reckson Associates Realty Corp., or Reckson, and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SL Green Realty Corp. As of December 31, 2017 , we owned the following interests in properties in the New York metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan. Our investments located outside of Manhattan are referred to as the Suburban properties: Consolidated Unconsolidated Total Location Property Type Number of Properties Approximate Square Feet (unaudited) Number of Properties Approximate Square Feet (unaudited) Number of Properties Approximate Square Feet (unaudited) Weighted Average Occupancy (1) (unaudited) Commercial: Manhattan Office 23 (2) 14,304,606 9 10,356,864 32 24,661,470 93.9 % Retail 4 (3) 302,583 9 347,970 13 650,553 94.5 % Development/Redevelopment 7 158,985 4 770,514 11 929,499 63.8 % Fee Interest 1 176,530 1 — 2 176,530 100.0 % 35 14,942,704 23 11,475,348 58 26,418,052 92.9 % Suburban Office 20 (4 ) 3,013,200 2 640,000 22 3,653,200 84.0 % Retail 1 52,000 — — 1 52,000 100.0 % Development/Redevelopment 1 1,000 1 — 2 1,000 100.0 % 22 3,066,200 3 640,000 25 3,706,200 84.3 % Total commercial properties 57 18,008,904 26 12,115,348 83 30,124,252 91.8 % Residential: Manhattan Residential 3 (3) 472,105 12 2,656,856 15 3,128,961 87.6 % Suburban Residential — — — — — — — % Total residential properties 3 472,105 12 2,656,856 15 3,128,961 87.6 % Total portfolio 60 18,481,009 38 14,772,204 98 33,253,213 91.4 % (1) The weighted average occupancy for commercial properties represents the total occupied square feet divided by total square footage at acquisition.

(2) Includes the property at 600 Lexington Avenue in New York, New York which is classified as held for sale at December 31, 2017. (3) As of December 31, 2017 , we owned a building that was comprised of approximately 270,132 square feet (unaudited) of retail space and approximately 222,855 square feet (unaudited) of residential space. For the purpose of this report, we have included the building in the number of retail properties we own. However, we have included only the retail square footage in the retail approximate square footage, and have listed the balance of the square footage as residential square footage. (4) Includes the properties at 115-117 Stevens Avenue in Valhalla, New York, and 1-6 International Drive in Rye Brook, New York which are classified as held for sale at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017 , we also managed an approximately 336,000 square foot (unaudited) office building owned by a third party and held debt and preferred equity investments with a book value of $2.3 billion , including $0.2 billion of debt and preferred equity investments and other financing receivables that are included in balance sheet line items other than the Debt and Preferred Equity Investments line item. Partnership Agreement In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or the Operating Partnership Agreement, we allocate all distributions and profits and losses in proportion to the percentage of ownership interests of the respective partners. As the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership, we are required to take such reasonable efforts, as determined by us in our sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by us to minimize any Federal income or excise tax at the Company level. Under the Operating Partnership Agreement, each limited partner has the right to redeem units of limited partnership interests for cash, or if we so elect, shares of our common stock on a one-for- one basis. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the presentation of net income is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture and debt and preferred equity investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine the rights provided to each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIEs, we review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. In situations where we and our partner approve, among other things, the annual budget, receive a detailed monthly reporting package, meet on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, review and approve the joint venture's tax return before filing, and approve all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture. Our joint venture agreements typically contain certain protective rights such as requiring partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment in the property at 919 Third Avenue was modified resulting in our partner now having substantive participating rights in the venture. As a result the investment will no longer be deemed a VIE and our investment in the property will be deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. The Company will record its non-controlling interest at fair value. This fair value will be allocated to the assets and liabilities, including identified intangibles. Under this methodology, the leases are ascribed an in-place lease intangible value as well as an above or below market lease intangible value which will be amortized over the remaining term of the associated leases. Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties Real estate properties are presented at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the development or redevelopment of properties are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. We recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed (including contingencies) and any noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. When we acquire our partner's equity interest in an existing unconsolidated joint venture and gain control over the investment, we record the consolidated investment at fair value. The difference between the book value of our equity investment on the purchase date and our share of the fair value of the investment's purchase price is recorded as a purchase price fair value adjustment in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, "Property Acquisitions." We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from one to 14 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from one to 14 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below-market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period. As of December 31, 2017 , the weighted average amortization period for above-market leases, below-market leases, and in-place lease costs is 6.0 years, 23.3 years, and 16.3 years, respectively. We incur a variety of costs in the development and leasing of our properties. After the determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The costs of land and building under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include, but are not limited to, pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year after major construction activity ceases. We cease capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalize only those costs associated with the portions under construction. Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Category Term Building (fee ownership) 40 years Building improvements shorter of remaining life of the building or useful life Building (leasehold interest) lesser of 40 years or remaining term of the lease Property under capital lease remaining lease term Furniture and fixtures four to seven years Tenant improvements shorter of remaining term of the lease or useful life Depreciation expense (including amortization of capital lease assets) totaled $365.3 million , $783.5 million , and $523.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate properties may be other than temporarily impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property. We also evaluate our real estate properties for impairment when a property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and depreciation expense is no longer recorded. See Note 4, "Properties Held for Sale and Dispositions." Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits held on behalf of our tenants, interest reserves, as well as capital improvement and real estate tax escrows required under certain loan agreements. Fair Value Measurements See Note 16, "Fair Value Measurements." Investment in Marketable Securities At acquisition, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. As of December 31, 2017 , we did not have any securities designated as held-to-maturity or trading. We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 820-10, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Any unrealized losses that are determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized in earnings up to their credit component. The cost of bonds and marketable securities sold is determined using the specific identification method. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we held the following marketable securities (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Equity marketable securities $ — $ 48,315 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 28,579 36,795 Total marketable securities available-for-sale $ 28,579 $ 85,110 The cost basis of the commercial mortgage-backed securities was $27.5 million and $36.0 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. These securities mature at various times through 2035. We held no equity marketable securities as of December 31, 2017 . The cost basis of the equity marketable securities was $43.3 million at December 31, 2016 . During the year ended December 31, 2017 , we disposed of marketable securities for aggregate net proceeds of $55.1 million and realized a gain of $3.3 million , which is included in gain (loss) on sale of investment in marketable securities on the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , we disposed of marketable securities for aggregate net proceeds of $7.0 million and realized a loss of $0.1 million , which is included in gain (loss) on sale of investment in marketable securities on the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting in cases where we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities and are not considered to be the primary beneficiary. We consolidate those joint ventures that we control or which are VIEs and where we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. In all these joint ventures, the rights of the joint venture partner are both protective as well as participating. Unless we are determined to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, these participating rights preclude us from consolidating these VIE entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. Equity in net income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures is allocated based on our ownership or economic interest in each joint venture. When a capital event (as defined in each joint venture agreement) such as a refinancing occurs, if return thresholds are met, future equity income will be allocated at our increased economic interest. We recognize incentive income from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures as income to the extent it is earned and not subject to a clawback feature. Distributions we receive from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in excess of our basis in the investment are recorded as offsets to our investment balance if we remain liable for future obligations of the joint venture or may otherwise be committed to provide future additional financial support. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to us. The Company has performance guarantees under master leases at two joint ventures. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on the joint ventures' projected discounted cash flows. We do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at December 31, 2017 . We may originate loans for real estate acquisition, development and construction, where we expect to receive some of the residual profit from such projects. When the risk and rewards of these arrangements are essentially the same as an investor or joint venture partner, we account for these arrangements as real estate investments under the equity method of accounting for investments. Otherwise, we account for these arrangements consistent with the accounting for our debt and preferred equity investments. Deferred Lease Costs Deferred lease costs consist of fees and direct costs incurred to execute operating leases and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. Certain of our employees provide leasing services to the wholly-owned properties. For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , $16.4 million , $15.4 million , and $15.4 million of their compensation, respectively, was capitalized and is amortized over an estimated average lease term of seven years. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal, title and other third party costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing which result in a closing of such financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions, which do not close, are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close. Deferred debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. In order for the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, management evaluates whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner (the tenant is the owner) of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record amounts funded to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. For these tenant improvements, we record amounts reimbursed by tenants as a reduction of the capital asset. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred costs, net on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. We establish, on a current basis, an allowance for future potential tenant credit losses, which may occur against this account. The balance reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is net of such allowance. In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters' wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year. We recognized $20.3 million , $196.2 million , and $38.7 million of rental revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 respectively, for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and a reduction in lease origination costs, resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties. Included in rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 is $172.4 million related to the amortization of below-market leases at 388-390 Greenwich Street as a result of the tenant exercising their option to purchase the property and entering into an agreement to accelerate the sale. We recognized as a reduction to interest expense the amortization of the above-market rate mortgages assumed of $0.8 million , $2.8 million , and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The following summarizes our identified intangible assets (acquired above-market leases and in-place leases) and intangible liabilities (acquired below-market leases) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): December 31, 2017 2016 Identified intangible assets (included in other assets): Gross amount $ 325,880 $ 651,099 Accumulated amortization (277,038 ) (410,930 ) Net (1) $ 48,842 $ 240,169 Identified intangible liabilities (included in deferred revenue): Gross amount $ 540,283 $ 655,930 Accumulated amortization (402,583 ) (464,749 ) Net (1) $ 137,700 $ 191,181 (1) As of December 31, 2017 , $13.9 million net intangible assets and $4.1 million net intangible liabilities were reclassified to assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale. The estimated annual amortization of acquired above-market leases, net of acquired (below-market) leases (a component of rental revenue), for each of the five succeeding years is as follows (in thousands): 2018 $ (13,853 ) 2019 (13,250 ) 2020 (12,432 ) 2021 (3,950 ) 2022 (3,647 ) The estimated annual amortization of all other identifiable assets (a component of depreciation and amortization expense) including tenant improvements for each of the five succeeding years is as follows (in thousands): 2018 $ 9,700 2019 7,716 2020 6,783 2021 3,927 2022 2,365 We record a gain on sale of real estate when title is conveyed to the buyer, subject to the buyer's financial commitment being sufficient to provide economic substance to the sale and provided that we have no substantial economic involvement with the buyer. Interest income on debt and preferred equity investments is accrued based on the contractual terms of the instruments and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Some debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and operations of the borrower. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt. Deferred origination fees, original issue discounts and loan origination costs, if any, are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the terms of the related investments using the effective interest method. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are also deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of loans are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method based on expected cash flows through the expected maturity date of the related investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount. For debt investments acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted. Anticipated exit fees, the collection of which is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Debt and preferred equity investments are placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition on any non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment is resumed when such non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Interest is recorded as income on impaired loans only to the extent cash is received. We may syndicate a portion of the loans that we originate or sell the loans individually. When a transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting, we derecognize the loan sold and recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold. Any related unamortized deferred origination fees, original issue discounts, loan origination costs, discounts or premiums at the time of sale are recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss on sale, which is included in investment income on the consolidated statement of operations. Any fees received at the time of sale or syndication are recognized as part of investment income. Asset management fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the asset management agreement. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Reserve for Possible Credit Losses The expense for possible credit losses in connection with debt and preferred equity investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible credit losses to the level that we estimate to be adequate, based on Level 3 data, considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered include geographic trends, product diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we establish a provision for possible credit loss on each individual investment. When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the investment is considered impaired. Where impairment is indicated on an investment that is held to maturity, a valuation allowance is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the fair value of the collateral. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the calculated value of the collateral is charged to expense. We continue to assess or adjust our estimates based on circumstances of a loan and the underlying collateral. If additional information reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly. There were no loan reserves recorded during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 . Debt and preferred equity investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its net carrying value to debt and preferred equity investments held to maturity. For these reclassified investments, the difference between the current carrying value and the expected cash to be collected at maturity will be accreted into income over the remaining term of the investment. Rent Expense Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. The excess of the rent expense recognized over the amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying lease is included in the deferred lease payable on the consolidated balance sheets. Underwriting Commissions and Costs Underwriting commissions and costs incurred in connection with our stock offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital. Exchangeable Debt Instruments The initial proceeds from exchangeable debt that may be settled in cash, including partial cash settlements, are bifurcated between a liability component and an equity component associated with the embedded conversion option. The objective of the accounting guidance is to require the liability and equity components of exchangeable debt to be separately accounted for in a manner such that the interest expense on the exchangeable debt is not recorded at the stated rate of interest but rather at an effective rate that reflects the issuer's conventional debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. We calculate the liability component of exchangeable debt based on the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at our comparable market conventional debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. The difference between the principal amount and the fair value of the liability component is reported as a discount on the exchangeable debt that is accreted as additional interest expense from the issuance date through the contractual maturity date using the effective interest method. A portion of this additional interest expense may be capitalized to the development and redevelopment balances qualifying for interest capitalization each period. The liability component of the exchangeable debt is reported net of discounts on our consolidated balance sheets. We calculate the equity component of exchangeable debt based on the difference between the initial proceeds received from the issuance of the exchangeable debt and the fair value of the liability component at the issuance date. The equity component is included in additional paid-in-capital, net of issuance costs, on our consolidated balance sheets. We allocate issuance costs for exchangeable debt between the liability and the equity components based on their relative values. Transaction Costs In January 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which changed how we account for transaction costs. Prior to January 2017, transaction costs were expensed as incurred. Starting in January 2017, transaction costs for asset acquisitions are capitalized to the investment basis which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value and transaction costs for business combinations or costs incurred on potential transactions which are not consummated are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes SL Green is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, SL Green generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, SL Green must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If SL Green fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, SL Green will be subject to Federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. SL Green may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income. The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The only provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations relates to the Operating Partnership’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Pursuant to amendments to the Code that became effective January 1, 2001, we have elected, and may elect in the future, to treat certain of our existing or newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. In general, TRSs may perform non-customary services for the tenants of the Company, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRSs generate income, resulting in Federal and state income tax liability for these entities. During the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , we recorded Federal, state and local tax provisions of $4.3 million , $2.8 million , and $3.1 million , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company paid distributions on its common stock of $3.10 per share which represented $1.24 per share of ordinary income and $1.86 per share of capital gains. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company paid distributions on its common stock of $2.88 per share which represented $2.48 per share of ordinary income, and $0.40 per share of capital gains.

Property Acquisitions | Property Acquisitions 2017 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2017 , we did not acquire any properties from a third party. 2016 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2016, the property listed below was acquired from a third party. The following summarizes our final allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon the closing of this acquisition (in thousands): 183 Broadway Acquisition Date March 2016 Ownership Type Fee Interest Property Type Retail/Residential Purchase Price Allocation: Land $ 5,799 Building and building leasehold 23,431 Above-market lease value — Acquired in-place leases 773 Other assets, net of other liabilities 20 Assets acquired 30,023 Mark-to-market assumed debt — Below-market lease value (1,523 ) Derivatives — Liabilities assumed (1,523 ) Purchase price $ 28,500 Net consideration funded by us at closing, excluding consideration financed by debt $ 28,500 Equity and/or debt investment held $ — Debt assumed $ — 2015 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2016, we finalized the purchase price allocations for the following 2015 acquisitions based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date for each property (in thousands): 600 Lexington Avenue (1)(2) 187 Broadway and 5 & 7 Dey Street (1)(3) 11 Madison Avenue (1) 110 Greene Street (1)(4) Upper East Side Residential (1)(5) 1640 Flatbush Avenue (1) Acquisition Date December 2015 August 2015 August 2015 July 2015 June 2015 March 2015 Ownership Type Fee Interest Fee Interest Fee Interest Fee Interest Fee Interest Fee Interest Property Type Office Residential/Retail Office Office Residential/Retail Retail Purchase Price Allocation: Land $ 81,670 $ 20,266 $ 675,776 $ 45,120 $ 48,152 $ 6,226 Building and building leasehold 182,447 42,468 1,553,602 215,470 — 501 Above-market lease value 3,320 17 19,764 — — — Acquired in-place leases 22,449 3,621 366,949 8,967 1,922 146 Other assets, net of other liabilities — — — — — — Assets acquired 289,886 66,372 2,616,091 269,557 50,074 6,873 Mark-to-market assumed debt (55 ) — — — — — Below-market lease value (5,831 ) (3,226 ) (187,732 ) (14,557 ) — (73 ) Derivatives — — — — — — Liabilities assumed (5,886 ) (3,226 ) (187,732 ) (14,557 ) — (73 ) Purchase price $ 284,000 $ 63,146 $ 2,428,359 $ 255,000 $ 50,074 $ 6,800 Net consideration funded by us at closing, excluding consideration financed by debt $ 79,085 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Equity and/or debt investment held $ 54,575 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Debt assumed $ 112,795 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — (1) Based on our preliminary analysis of the purchase price, we had allocated $97.0 million and $180.2 million to land and building, respectively, at 600 Lexington Avenue, $22.1 million and $41.0 million to land and building, respectively, at 187 Broadway and 5&7 Dey Street, $849.9 million and $1.6 billion to land and building, respectively, at 11 Madison Avenue, $89.3 million and $165.8 million to land and building, respectively, at 110 Greene Street, and $17.5 million and $32.5 million to land and building, respectively, at the Upper Eastside Residential Property and $6.1 million and $0.7 million to land and building, respectively, at 1640 Flatbush Avenue. The impact to our consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was an increase in rental revenue of $7.8 million for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases and an additional $18.5 million of depreciation expense. (2) In December 2015, we acquired Canada Pension Plan Investment Board's 45% interest in this property, thereby consolidating full ownership of the property. The transaction valued the consolidated interests at $277.3 million . We recognized a purchase price fair value adjustment of $40.1 million upon closing of this transaction. This property, which we initially acquired in May 2010, was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. (3) We acquired this property for consideration that included the issuance of $10.0 million and $26.9 million aggregate liquidation preferences of Series R and S Preferred Units, respectively, of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and cash. (4) We acquired a 90.0% controlling interest in this property for consideration that included the issuance of $5.0 million and $6.7 million aggregate liquidation preferences of Series P and Q Preferred Units, respectively, of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and cash. (5) We, along with our joint venture partner, acquired this property for consideration that included the issuance of $13.8 million aggregate liquidation preference of Series N Preferred Units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership and cash. We hold a 95.1% controlling interest in this joint venture. For business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of our equity interest in a property immediately before the acquisition date is determined based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize available market information and discount and capitalization rates that we deem appropriate. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The acquisition-date fair value of the equity interest in 600 Lexington Avenue, which was acquired in 2015, immediately before the acquisition date and the resulting purchase price fair value adjustment, as determined in accordance with the methodology set out in the prior sentence, are as follows (in thousands): 600 Lexington Avenue Contract purchase price $ 284,000 Net consideration funded by us at closing, excluding consideration financed by debt (79,085 ) Debt assumed (112,795 ) Fair value of retained equity interest 92,120 Equity and/or debt investment held (54,575 ) Other (1) 2,533 Purchase price fair value adjustment $ 40,078 (1) Includes the acceleration of a deferred leasing commission from the joint venture to the Company.

(3) In November 2017, the Company sold a 30.13% interest in 1515 Broadway to affiliates of Allianz Real Estate. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and as a result the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method.

See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." (9) The Company recorded a $10.4 million charge in 2016 that is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations (10) In February 2016, we closed on the sale of 885 Third Avenue.

(12) We sold an 80% interest in 131-137 Spring Street and have subsequently accounted for our interest in the properties as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." Discontinued Operations The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015 which raised the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations to include only dispositions that represent a strategic shift in an entity’s operations. The guidance was applied prospectively for new disposals. Since adoption no disposals have been deemed to represent strategic shifts in the Company's operations and as a result, the results of operations of all disposals are included in continuing operations for all periods presented. Discontinued operations includes the results of operations of 180 Maiden Lane which was held for sale at December 31, 2014 and sold in January 2015.

Changes in ownership or economic interests within the current year are disclosed in the notes below. (2) Acquisition date and price represent the date on which the Company initially acquired an interest in the joint venture and the actual or implied gross purchase price for the joint venture on that date. Acquisition date and price are not adjusted for subsequent acquisitions or dispositions of interest. (3) During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $6.6 million charge in connection with this investment. This charge is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations. (4) As a result of the sale of a condominium interest in September 2012, Young & Rubicam, Inc., or Y&R, owns floors three through eight at the property. Because the joint venture has an option to repurchase these floors, the gain associated with this sale was deferred. (5) The purchase price represents only the purchase of the 1552 Broadway interest which comprised approximately 13,045 square feet. The joint venture also owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space and certain other spaces at 1560 Broadway, which is adjacent to 1552 Broadway. (6) We hold a 32.28% interest in three retail and two residential units at the property and a 16.14% interest in three residential units at the property. (7) The joint venture owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space at 650 Fifth Avenue. In connection with the ground lease obligation, SLG provided a performance guaranty and our joint venture partner executed a contribution agreement to reflect its pro rata obligation. In the event the property is converted into a condominium unit and the landlord elects the purchase option, the joint venture shall be obligated to acquire the unit at the then fair value. (8) In March 2017, the Company sold a partial interest in the Stonehenge Portfolio as further described under Sale of Joint Venture Interest of Properties below. In February 2018, the Company, together with its joint venture partner, closed on the sale of one property from the Stonehenge Portfolio. (9) The joint venture acquired a leasehold interest in the property in October 2016. (10) In October 2016, the Company sold a 49% interest in this property to an investment account managed BlackRock, Inc. The Company's interest in the property was sold within a consolidated joint venture owned 90% by the Company and 10% by Stonehenge. The transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of the venture's remaining 51% interest in the property. The Company's joint venture with Stonehenge remains consolidated resulting in the combined 51% interest being shown within investments in unconsolidated joint ventures on the Company's balance sheet. (11) In January 2017, the Company admitted two partners, National Pension Service of Korea and Hines Interest LP, into the One Vanderbilt development project. In April 2017, the criteria for deconsolidation were met, and the development is shown within investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The partners have committed aggregate equity to the project totaling no less than $525 million and their ownership interest in the joint venture is based on their capital contributions, up to an aggregate maximum of 29.0% . At December 31, 2017 the total of the two partners' ownership interests based on equity contributed was 3.48% . (12) In May 2017, the Company contributed a mezzanine loan secured by a commercial property in midtown Manhattan to a joint venture and retained a 33.33% interest in the venture. The carrying value is net of $10.0 million that was sold, which is included in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the transfers not meeting the conditions for sale accounting. The loan matures in November 2018. (13) In September 2017, the Company and RXR Realty formed a joint venture in which each partner owns a 50% interest. In October 2017, this joint venture purchased a 48.7% interest in the property known as Worldwide Plaza from New York REIT. New York REIT owns the remaining 51.3% with its existing partner. (14) In November 2017, the Company sold a 30.13% interest in 1515 Broadway to affiliates of Allianz Real Estate. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and as a result the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method at December 31, 2017. Under the profit sharing method the Company recognized its share of the operations of the property and also recognized the other partner's share of depreciation. Included in equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures is $0.9 million of depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2017 representing the other partner's share of depreciation. The Company achieved sale accounting upon adoption of ASC 610-20 in January 2018 and closed on the sale of an additional 12.87% interest in the property to Allianz in February 2018. Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements Based on the characteristics of the following arrangements, which are similar to those of an investment, combined with the expected residual profit of not greater than 50% , we have accounted for these debt and preferred equity investments under the equity method. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the carrying value for acquisition, development and construction arrangements were as follows (in thousands): Loan Type December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Maturity Date Mezzanine Loan and Preferred Equity $ 100,000 $ 100,000 March 2018 Mezzanine Loan (1) 44,823 45,622 February 2022 Mezzanine Loan (2) 26,716 24,542 July 2036 $ 171,539 $ 170,164 (1) We have an option to convert our loan to an equity interest subject to certain conditions. We have determined that our option to convert the loan to equity is not a derivative financial instrument pursuant to GAAP. (2) The Company has the ability to convert this loan into an equity position starting in 2021 and the borrower is able to force this conversion in 2024. Sale of Joint Venture Interests or Properties The following table summarizes the investments in unconsolidated joint ventures sold during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 : Property Ownership Interest Disposition Date Type of Sale Gross Asset Valuation (in thousands) (1) Gain (Loss) on Sale (in thousands) (2) 102 Greene Street 10.00% September 2017 Ownership Interest $ 43,500 $ 283 Stonehenge Portfolio (partial) Various March 2017 Ownership Interest 300,000 871 EOP Denver 0.48% September 2016 Ownership Interest 180,700 300 33 Beekman (3) 45.90% May 2016 Property 196,000 33,000 EOP Denver 4.79% March 2016 Ownership Interest 180,700 2,800 7 Renaissance Square 50.00% March 2016 Property 20,700 4,200 1 Jericho Plaza (4) 66.11% February 2016 Ownership Interest 95,200 3,300 The Meadows 50.00% August 2015 Property 121,100 (1,600 ) 315 West 36th Street 35.50% September 2015 Ownership Interest 115,000 16,300 (1) Represents implied gross valuation for the joint venture or sales price of the property. (2) Represents the Company's share of the gain or loss. The gain on sale is net of $0 , $1.1 million , and $1.2 million of employee compensation accrued in connection with the realization of these investment gains in the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , respectively. Additionally, amounts do not include adjustments for expenses recorded in subsequent periods. (3) In connection with the sale of the property, we also recognized a promote of $10.8 million . (4) Our ownership percentage was reduced in the first quarter of 2016, from 77.78% to 11.67% , upon completion of a restructuring of the joint venture. In May 2017, our investment in a joint venture that owned two mezzanine notes secured by interests in the entity that owns 76 11th Avenue was repaid after the joint venture received repayment of the underlying loans. In May 2017, we recognized a gain of $13.0 million related to the sale in May 2014 of our ownership interest in 747 Madison Avenue. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting at that time and, therefore, remained on our consolidated financial statements. The sale criteria was met in May of 2017 resulting in recognition of the deferred gain on the sale. Joint Venture Mortgages and Other Loans Payable We generally finance our joint ventures with non-recourse debt. In certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leases for tenant space, which terminate upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. The first mortgage notes and other loans payable collateralized by the respective joint venture properties and assignment of leases at December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, are as follows (amounts in thousands): Property Economic Interest (1) Maturity Date Interest Rate (2) December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Fixed Rate Debt: 521 Fifth Avenue 50.50 % November 2019 3.73% $ 170,000 $ 170,000 717 Fifth Avenue (3) 10.92 % July 2022 4.45% 300,000 300,000 717 Fifth Avenue (3) 10.92 % July 2022 5.50% 355,328 355,328 650 Fifth Avenue (4) 50.00 % October 2022 4.46% 210,000 — 650 Fifth Avenue (4) 50.00 % October 2022 5.45% 65,000 — 21 East 66th Street 32.28 % April 2023 3.60% 12,000 12,000 3 Columbus Circle 48.90 % March 2025 3.61% 350,000 350,000 1515 Broadway 69.87 % March 2025 3.93% 872,528 — 11 Madison Avenue 60.00 % September 2025 3.84% 1,400,000 1,400,000 800 Third Avenue 60.52 % February 2026 3.37% 177,000 177,000 400 East 57th Street 41.00 % November 2026 3.00% 100,000 100,000 Worldwide Plaza 24.35 % November 2027 3.98% 1,200,000 — Stonehenge Portfolio (5) Various Various 4.17% 357,282 362,518 1745 Broadway (6) — 340,000 Total fixed rate debt $ 5,569,138 $ 3,566,846 Floating Rate Debt: Jericho Plaza (7) 11.67 % March 2018 L+ 4.15% $ 81,099 $ 76,993 724 Fifth Avenue 50.00 % April 2018 L+ 2.42% 275,000 275,000 175-225 Third Street Brooklyn, New York 95.00 % June 2018 Prime+ 1.00% 40,000 40,000 280 Park Avenue 50.00 % September 2019 L+ 1.73% 1,200,000 900,000 121 Greene Street 50.00 % November 2019 L+ 1.50% 15,000 15,000 1745 Broadway (8) 56.87 % January 2020 L+ 1.85% 345,000 — 10 East 53rd Street 55.00 % February 2020 L+ 2.25% 170,000 125,000 131-137 Spring Street 20.00 % August 2020 L+ 1.55% 141,000 141,000 1552 Broadway 50.00 % October 2020 L+ 2.65% 195,000 185,410 55 West 46th Street (9) 25.00 % November 2020 L+ 2.13% 171,444 157,322 11 West 34th Street 30.00 % January 2021 L+ 1.45% 23,000 23,000 100 Park Avenue 49.90 % February 2021 L+ 1.75% 360,000 360,000 One Vanderbilt (10) 71.01 % September 2021 L+ 3.50% 355,535 — Property Economic Interest (1) Maturity Date Interest Rate (2) December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 605 West 42nd Street 20.00 % August 2027 L+ 1.44% 550,000 539,000 21 East 66th Street 32.28 % June 2033 1 Year Treasury+ 2.75% 1,648 1,726 Stonehenge Portfolio Various April 2018 L+ 1.25% 55,340 65,577 650 Fifth Avenue (11) — 77,500 Total floating rate debt $ 3,979,066 $ 2,982,528 Total joint venture mortgages and other loans payable $ 9,548,204 $ 6,549,374 Deferred financing costs, net (136,103 ) (95,408 ) Total joint venture mortgages and other loans payable, net $ 9,412,101 $ 6,453,966 (1) Economic interest represents the Company's interests in the joint venture as of December 31, 2017 .

(3) These loans are comprised of a $300.0 million fixed rate mortgage loan and $355.3 million mezzanine loan. The mezzanine loan is subject to accretion based on the difference between contractual interest rate and contractual pay rate. (4) In November 2017, we closed on a $65.0 million mezzanine loan with a fixed interest rate of 545 basis points and a maturity date of October 2022. As a result, the $225.0 million mortgage loan was reduced to $210.0 million with a fixed interest rate of 446 basis points. These loans are now comprised of a $210.0 million fixed rate mortgage loan and $65.0 million fixed rate mezzanine loan. (5) Amount is comprised of $33.8 million , $137.1 million , $171.6 million , and $14.8 million in fixed-rate mortgages that mature in January 2018, August 2019, June 2024, and February 2027, respectively. In January 2018, the fixed-rate mortgage set to mature in January 2018 was refinanced with a $38.0 million mortgage loan with a floating interest rate of 140 basis points over 30-day LIBOR and a maturity date of January 2021. (6) In January 2017, this loan was refinanced with a floating rate loan as shown above. (7) The property secures a two year $100.0 million loan, of which $81.1 million is currently outstanding.

This facility bears interest at 350 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, with reductions based on meeting certain conditions, and has an initial five -year term with two one -year extension options. Advances under the loan are subject to incurred costs, funded equity, loan to value thresholds, and entering into construction contracts. (11) In September 2017, this loan was refinanced with a fixed rate loan as shown above. We act as the operating partner and day-to-day manager for all our joint ventures, except for Worldwide Plaza, 800 Third Avenue, Jericho Plaza, 280 Park Avenue, 3 Columbus Circle, 21 East 66th Street, 175-225 Third Street, 605 West 42nd Street, 400 East 57th Street, and the Stonehenge Portfolio. We are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, construction supervision and asset management services to certain of our joint ventures. We earned $22.6 million , $4.0 million and $3.4 million from these services, net of our ownership share of the joint ventures, for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , respectively. In addition, we have the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of certain of the joint venture properties.

Floating rate debt is presented with the stated interest rate spread over 30-day LIBOR, unless otherwise specified. (2) We own a 51.0% controlling interest in the consolidated joint venture that is the borrower on this loan. In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment in the property at 919 Third Avenue was modified resulting in our partner now having substantive participating rights in the venture. As a result the investment will no longer be deemed a VIE and our investment in the property will be deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. (3) The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 300 basis points for the first five years and is prepayable without penalty at the end of year five . (4) The loan is comprised of a $35.5 million mortgage loan and $0.9 million subordinate loan with a fixed interest rate of 350 basis points and 700 basis points, respectively, for the first five years and is prepayable without penalty at the end of year five . (5) In connection with the acquisition of a commercial real estate property, the Operating Partnership issued $4.0 million , 3.75% Series J Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the Series J Preferred Units, with a mandatory liquidation preference of $1,000 per unit. The Series J Preferred Units are accounted for as debt because they can be redeemed in cash by the Operating Partnership on the earlier of (i) the date of the sale of the property or (ii) April 30, 2051 or at the option of the unitholders as provided for in the related agreement. (6) In November 2017, the Company sold a 30.13% interest in 1515 Broadway to affiliates of Allianz Real Estate. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and as a result the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method. This property is presented as an unconsolidated joint venture as of December 31, 2017 . The Company achieved sale accounting upon adoption of ASC 610-20 in January 2018 and closed on the sale of an additional 12.87% interest in the property to Allianz in February 2018. (7) In February 2016, we closed on the sale of 885 Third Avenue. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting at that time. In April 2017, the mortgage was refinanced by the buyer, resulting in the Company deconsolidating the property from its financial statements in the second quarter of 2017. (8) The facility was repaid in January 2017. (9) In January 2018, we exercised an one year extension option to extend the maturity date to February 2019. (10) The master repurchase agreement was repaid in October 2017. (11) In September 2016, we closed on a $1.5 billion construction facility in connection with the development of One Vanderbilt Avenue. In January 2017, we admitted two partners, National Pension Service of Korea and Hines Interest LP, into the One Vanderbilt Avenue development project. In April 2017, the criteria for deconsolidation were met, and the development is shown within investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures". (12) In January 2017, this loan was refinanced with a fixed rate loan as shown above. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the gross book value of the properties and debt and preferred equity investments collateralizing the mortgages and other loans payable, not including assets held for sale, was approximately $4.8 billion and $6.0 billion , respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Facility The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, a New York licensed captive insurance company, was a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, or FHLBNY. In January 2017, all funds borrowed from the FHLBNY were repaid and Belmont's membership was terminated in February 2017. Master Repurchase Agreements The Company has entered into two Master Repurchase Agreements, or MRAs, known as the 2016 MRA and 2017 MRA, which provide us with the ability to sell certain debt investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase agreement by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facilities permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity, and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our debt investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to recollateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of debt investments, our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents and our access to additional liquidity through the 2017 credit facility, as defined below. In June 2017, we entered into the 2017 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million . The facility bears interest on a floating rate basis at a spread to 30-day LIBOR based on the pledged collateral and advance rate and has an initial one year term, with two one year extension options. At December 31, 2017 , the facility had a carrying value of $90.1 million , net of deferred financing costs. In July 2016, we entered into a restated 2016 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million . The facility bears interest ranging from 225 and 400 basis points over 30-day LIBOR depending on the pledged collateral and has an initial two -year term, with a one year extension option. Since December 6, 2015, we have been required to pay monthly in arrears a 25 basis point fee on the excess of $150.0 million over the average daily balance during the period when the average daily balance is less than $150.0 million . At December 31, 2017 , the facility had a carrying value of $(1.2) million , representing deferred financing costs presented within other liabilities. Corporate Indebtedness 2017 Credit Facility In November 2017, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility, referred to as the 2017 credit facility, that was originally entered into by the Company in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility. As of December 31, 2017 , the 2017 credit facility consisted of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.3 billion term loan (or "Term Loan A"), and a $200.0 million term loan (or "Term Loan B") with maturity dates of March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and November 21, 2024, respectively. The revolving credit facility has two six -month as-of-right extension options to March 31, 2023. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and term loans without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions. As of December 31, 2017 , the 2017 credit facility bore interest at a spread over 30-day LIBOR ranging from (i) 82.5 basis points to 155 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility, (ii) 90 basis points to 175 basis points for loans under Term Loan A, and (iii) 150 basis points to 245 basis points for loans under Term Loan B, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. At December 31, 2017 , the applicable spread was 100 basis points for the revolving credit facility, 110 basis points for Term Loan A, and 165 basis points for Term Loan B. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 12.5 to 30 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. As of December 31, 2017 , the facility fee was 20 basis points. As of December 31, 2017 , we had $11.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, $40.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan facilities, with total undrawn capacity of $1.4 billion under the 2017 credit facility. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $30.3 million and $(6.3) million , respectively, net of deferred financing costs. The December 31, 2016 carrying value represents deferred financing costs and is presented within other liabilities. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the term loan facilities had a carrying value of $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion , respectively, net of deferred financing costs. The Company and the Operating Partnership are borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2017 credit facility. ROP is a guarantor under the 2017 credit facility. The 2017 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below). Senior Unsecured Notes The following table sets forth our senior unsecured notes and other related disclosures as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, by scheduled maturity date (dollars in thousands): Issuance December 31, 2017 Unpaid Principal Balance December 31, 2017 Accreted Balance December 31, 2016 Accreted Balance Coupon Rate (1) Initial Term (in Years) Maturity Date August 5, 2011 (2) $ 250,000 $ 249,953 $ 249,880 5.00 % 7 August 2018 March 16, 2010 (2) 250,000 250,000 250,000 7.75 % 10 March 2020 October 5, 2017 (3) 500,000 499,489 — 3.25 % 5 October 2022 November 15, 2012 (4) 300,000 305,163 200,000 4.50 % 10 December 2022 December 17, 2015 (2) 100,000 100,000 100,000 4.27 % 10 December 2025 October 12, 2010 (5) — — 334,077 $ 1,400,000 $ 1,404,605 $ 1,133,957 Deferred financing costs, net (8,666 ) (5,642 ) $ 1,400,000 $ 1,395,939 $ 1,128,315 (1) Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually with principal and unpaid interest due on the scheduled maturity dates. (2) Issued by the Company, the Operating Partnership and ROP, as co-obligors. (3) Issued by the Operating Partnership with the Company and ROP as guarantors. (4) In October 2017, the Company, the Operating Partnership and ROP, as co-obligors, issued an additional $100.0 million of 4.50% senior unsecured notes due December 2022. The notes were priced at 105.334% . (5) In accordance with the terms of the indenture, the notes became exchangeable commencing September 14, 2017 and the Operating Partnership elected to settle exchanges in cash. In October 2017, all note holders elected to exchange the notes and the notes were repaid for $350.8 million , excluding accrued interest based on the applicable exchange rate. Restrictive Covenants The terms of the 2017 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, we will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , we were in compliance with all such covenants. Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million in unsecured trust preferred securities through a newly formed trust, SL Green Capital Trust I, or the Trust, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The securities mature in 2035 and bear interest at a floating rate of 125 basis points over the three-month LIBOR. Interest payments may be deferred for a period of up to eight consecutive quarters if the Operating Partnership exercises its right to defer such payments. The Trust preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium. We do not consolidate the Trust even though it is a variable interest entity as we are not the primary beneficiary. Because the Trust is not consolidated, we have recorded the debt on our consolidated balance sheets and the related payments are classified as interest expense. Principal Maturities Combined aggregate principal maturities of mortgages and other loans payable, 2017 credit facility, trust preferred securities, senior unsecured notes and our share of joint venture debt as of December 31, 2017 , including as-of-right extension options and put options, were as follows (in thousands): Scheduled Amortization Principal Revolving Credit Facility Unsecured Term Loans Trust Preferred Securities Senior Unsecured Notes Total Joint Venture Debt 2018 $ 37,971 $ 206,431 $ — $ — $ — $ 250,000 $ 494,402 $ 200,250 2019 42,289 — — — — — 42,289 717,682 2020 23,487 679,531 — — — 250,000 953,018 473,809 2021 11,656 — — — — — 11,656 449,740 2022 9,448 198,555 — — — 800,000 1,008,003 223,330 Thereafter 16,675 1,639,948 40,000 1,500,000 100,000 100,000 3,396,623 2,119,481 $ 141,526 $ 2,724,465 $ 40,000 $ 1,500,000 $ 100,000 $ 1,400,000 $ 5,905,991 $ 4,184,292 Consolidated interest expense, excluding capitalized interest, was comprised of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Interest expense before capitalized interest $ 284,649 $ 348,062 $ 357,926 Interest capitalized (26,020 ) (24,067 ) (31,108 ) Interest income (1,584 ) (2,796 ) (2,948 ) Interest expense, net $ 257,045 $ 321,199 $ 323,870 |

Floating rate debt is presented with the stated interest rate spread over 30-day LIBOR, unless otherwise specified. (2) We own a 51.0% controlling interest in the consolidated joint venture that is the borrower on this loan. In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment in the property at 919 Third Avenue was modified resulting in our partner now having substantive participating rights in the venture. As a result the investment will no longer be deemed a VIE and our investment in the property will be deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. (3) The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 300 basis points for the first five years and is prepayable without penalty at the end of year five . (4) The loan is comprised of a $35.5 million mortgage loan and $0.9 million subordinate loan with a fixed interest rate of 350 basis points and 700 basis points, respectively, for the first five years and is prepayable without penalty at the end of year five . (5) In connection with the acquisition of a commercial real estate property, the Operating Partnership issued $4.0 million , 3.75% Series J Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the Series J Preferred Units, with a mandatory liquidation preference of $1,000 per unit. The Series J Preferred Units are accounted for as debt because they can be redeemed in cash by the Operating Partnership on the earlier of (i) the date of the sale of the property or (ii) April 30, 2051 or at the option of the unitholders as provided for in the related agreement. (6) In November 2017, the Company sold a 30.13% interest in 1515 Broadway to affiliates of Allianz Real Estate. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and as a result the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method. This property is presented as an unconsolidated joint venture as of December 31, 2017 . The Company achieved sale accounting upon adoption of ASC 610-20 in January 2018 and closed on the sale of an additional 12.87% interest in the property to Allianz in February 2018. (7) In February 2016, we closed on the sale of 885 Third Avenue. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting at that time. In April 2017, the mortgage was refinanced by the buyer, resulting in the Company deconsolidating the property from its financial statements in the second quarter of 2017. (8) The facility was repaid in January 2017. (9) In January 2018, we exercised an one year extension option to extend the maturity date to February 2019. (10) The master repurchase agreement was repaid in October 2017. (11) In September 2016, we closed on a $1.5 billion construction facility in connection with the development of One Vanderbilt Avenue. In January 2017, we admitted two partners, National Pension Service of Korea and Hines Interest LP, into the One Vanderbilt Avenue development project. In April 2017, the criteria for deconsolidation were met, and the development is shown within investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures". (12) In January 2017, this loan was refinanced with a fixed rate loan as shown above. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the gross book value of the properties and debt and preferred equity investments collateralizing the mortgages and other loans payable, not including assets held for sale, was approximately $4.8 billion and $6.0 billion , respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Facility The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, a New York licensed captive insurance company, was a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, or FHLBNY. In January 2017, all funds borrowed from the FHLBNY were repaid and Belmont's membership was terminated in February 2017. Master Repurchase Agreements The Company has entered into two Master Repurchase Agreements, or MRAs, known as the 2016 MRA and 2017 MRA, which provide us with the ability to sell certain debt investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase agreement by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facilities permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity, and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our debt investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to recollateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of debt investments, our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents and our access to additional liquidity through the 2017 credit facility, as defined below. In June 2017, we entered into the 2017 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million . The facility bears interest on a floating rate basis at a spread to 30-day LIBOR based on the pledged collateral and advance rate and has an initial one year term, with two one year extension options. At December 31, 2017 , the facility had a carrying value of $90.1 million , net of deferred financing costs. In July 2016, we entered into a restated 2016 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million . The facility bears interest ranging from 225 and 400 basis points over 30-day LIBOR depending on the pledged collateral and has an initial two -year term, with a one year extension option. Since December 6, 2015, we have been required to pay monthly in arrears a 25 basis point fee on the excess of $150.0 million over the average daily balance during the period when the average daily balance is less than $150.0 million . At December 31, 2017 , the facility had a carrying value of $(1.2) million , representing deferred financing costs presented within other liabilities. Corporate Indebtedness 2017 Credit Facility In November 2017, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility, referred to as the 2017 credit facility, that was originally entered into by the Company in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility. As of December 31, 2017 , the 2017 credit facility consisted of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.3 billion term loan (or "Term Loan A"), and a $200.0 million term loan (or "Term Loan B") with maturity dates of March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and November 21, 2024, respectively. The revolving credit facility has two six -month as-of-right extension options to March 31, 2023. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and term loans without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions. As of December 31, 2017 , the 2017 credit facility bore interest at a spread over 30-day LIBOR ranging from (i) 82.5 basis points to 155 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility, (ii) 90 basis points to 175 basis points for loans under Term Loan A, and (iii) 150 basis points to 245 basis points for loans under Term Loan B, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. At December 31, 2017 , the applicable spread was 100 basis points for the revolving credit facility, 110 basis points for Term Loan A, and 165 basis points for Term Loan B. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 12.5 to 30 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. As of December 31, 2017 , the facility fee was 20 basis points. As of December 31, 2017 , we had $11.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, $40.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan facilities, with total undrawn capacity of $1.4 billion under the 2017 credit facility. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $30.3 million and $(6.3) million , respectively, net of deferred financing costs. The December 31, 2016 carrying value represents deferred financing costs and is presented within other liabilities. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the term loan facilities had a carrying value of $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion , respectively, net of deferred financing costs. The Company and the Operating Partnership are borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2017 credit facility. ROP is a guarantor under the 2017 credit facility. The 2017 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below). Senior Unsecured Notes The following table sets forth our senior unsecured notes and other related disclosures as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, by scheduled maturity date (dollars in thousands): Issuance December 31, 2017 Unpaid Principal Balance December 31, 2017 Accreted Balance December 31, 2016 Accreted Balance Coupon Rate (1) Initial Term (in Years) Maturity Date August 5, 2011 (2) $ 250,000 $ 249,953 $ 249,880 5.00 % 7 August 2018 March 16, 2010 (2) 250,000 250,000 250,000 7.75 % 10 March 2020 October 5, 2017 (3) 500,000 499,489 — 3.25 % 5 October 2022 November 15, 2012 (4) 300,000 305,163 200,000 4.50 % 10 December 2022 December 17, 2015 (2) 100,000 100,000 100,000 4.27 % 10 December 2025 October 12, 2010 (5) — — 334,077 $ 1,400,000 $ 1,404,605 $ 1,133,957 Deferred financing costs, net (8,666 ) (5,642 ) $ 1,400,000 $ 1,395,939 $ 1,128,315 (1) Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually with principal and unpaid interest due on the scheduled maturity dates.

The notes were priced at 105.334% . (5) In accordance with the terms of the indenture, the notes became exchangeable commencing September 14, 2017 and the Operating Partnership elected to settle exchanges in cash. In October 2017, all note holders elected to exchange the notes and the notes were repaid for $350.8 million , excluding accrued interest based on the applicable exchange rate. Restrictive Covenants The terms of the 2017 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, we will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million in unsecured trust preferred securities through a newly formed trust, SL Green Capital Trust I, or the Trust, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The securities mature in 2035 and bear interest at a floating rate of 125 basis points over the three-month LIBOR. Interest payments may be deferred for a period of up to eight consecutive quarters if the Operating Partnership exercises its right to defer such payments. The Trust preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium. We do not consolidate the Trust even though it is a variable interest entity as we are not the primary beneficiary. Because the Trust is not consolidated, we have recorded the debt on our consolidated balance sheets and the related payments are classified as interest expense.

Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Cleaning/ Security/ Messenger and Restoration Services Alliance Building Services, or Alliance, and its affiliates are partially owned by Gary Green, a son of Stephen L. Green, the chairman of our board of directors, and provide services to certain properties owned by us. Alliance’s affiliates include First Quality Maintenance, L.P., or First Quality, Classic Security LLC, Bright Star Couriers LLC and Onyx Restoration Works, and provide cleaning, extermination, security, messenger, and restoration services, respectively. In addition, First Quality has the non-exclusive opportunity to provide cleaning and related services to individual tenants at our properties on a basis separately negotiated with any tenant seeking such additional services. The Service Corporation has entered into an arrangement with Alliance whereby it will receive a profit participation above a certain threshold for services provided by Alliance to certain tenants at certain buildings above the base services specified in their lease agreements. Income earned from the profit participation, which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations, was $3.9 million , $3.5 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. We also recorded expenses, inclusive of capitalized expenses, of $22.6 million , $23.4 million and $21.3 million the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively, for these services (excluding services provided directly to tenants). Management Fees S.L. Green Management Corp., a consolidated entity, receives property management fees from an entity in which Stephen L. Green owns an interest. We received management fees from this entity of $0.5 million , $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 respectively. One Vanderbilt Investment In December 2016, we entered into agreements with entities owned and controlled by Marc Holliday and Andrew Mathias, pursuant to which they agreed to make an investment in our One Vanderbilt project at the appraised fair market value for the interests acquired. This investment entitles these entities to receive approximately 1.50 % - 1.80 % and 1.00 % - 1.20 %, respectively, of any profits realized by the Company from its One Vanderbilt project in excess of the Company’s capital contributions. The entities have no right to any return of capital. Accordingly, subject to previously disclosed repurchase rights, these interests will have no value and will not entitle these entities to any amounts (other than limited distributions to cover tax liabilities incurred) unless and until the Company has received distributions from the One Vanderbilt project in excess of the Company’s aggregate investment in the project. In the event that the Company does not realize a profit on its investment in the project (or would not realize a profit based on the value at the time the interests are repurchased), the entities owned and controlled by Messrs. Holliday and Mathias will lose the entire amount of their investment. The entities owned and controlled by Messrs. Holliday and Mathias paid $1.4 million and $1.0 million , respectively, which equal the fair market value of the interests acquired as of the date the investment agreements were entered into as determined by an independent third party appraisal that we obtained. Messrs. Holliday and Mathias cannot monetize their interests until after stabilization of the property ( 50% within three years after stabilization and 100% three years or more after stabilization). In addition, the agreement calls for us to repurchase these interests in the event of a sale of One Vanderbilt or a transactional change of control of the Company. We also have the right to repurchase these interests on the seven -year anniversary of the stabilization of the project or upon the occurrence of certain separation events prior to the stabilization of the project relating to each of Messrs. Holliday’s and Mathias’s continued service with us. The price paid upon monetization of the interests will equal the liquidation value of the interests at the time, with the value of One Vanderbilt being based on its sale price, if applicable, or fair market value as determined by an independent third party appraiser. Other We are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, construction supervision, and asset management services to certain of our joint ventures as further described in Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures".

Stockholders' Equity | |
Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership | Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and at December 31, 2017 owned 92,803,299 general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units. Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated as “common units of limited partnership interest” (also referred to as “OP Units”) or “preferred units of limited partnership interest” (also referred to as “Preferred Units”). All references to OP Units and Preferred Units outstanding exclude such units held by the Company. A holder of an OP Unit may present such OP Unit to the Operating Partnership for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, the Operating Partnership must redeem such OP Unit in exchange for the cash equal to the then value of a share of common stock of the Company, except that the Company may, at its election, in lieu of cash redemption, acquire such OP Unit for one share of common stock. Because the number of shares of common stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that the Company owns, one share of common stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of common stock. Each series of Preferred Units makes a distribution that is set in accordance with an amendment to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. Preferred Units may also be convertible into OP Units at the election of the holder thereof or the Company, subject to the terms of such Preferred Units. Net income (loss) allocated to the preferred unitholders and common unitholders reflects their pro rata share of net income (loss) and distributions. Limited Partner Units As of December 31, 2017 , limited partners other than SL Green owned 4.58% , or 4,452,979 common units, of the Operating Partnership. Preferred Units Preferred units not owned by SL Green are further described in Note 11, “Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements - Preferred Units of Limited Partnership Interest in the Operating Partnership.” Earnings per Unit The Operating Partnership's earnings per unit for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 respectively are computed as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Numerator 2017 2016 2015 Basic and Diluted Earnings: Income attributable to SLGOP common unitholders $ 90,419 $ 245,082 $ 279,697 Year Ended December 31, Denominator 2017 2016 2015 Basic units: Weighted average common units outstanding 103,127 104,508 103,244 Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock-based compensation plans 276 373 490 Diluted weighted average common units outstanding 103,403 104,881 103,734 The Operating Partnership has excluded 1,092,870 , 774,782 , and 263,991 common unit equivalents from the diluted units outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 respectively, as they were anti-dilutive. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation We have stock-based employee and director compensation plans. Our employees are compensated through the Operating Partnership. Under each plan, whenever the Company issues common or preferred stock, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of limited partnership interest of a corresponding class to the Company. Fourth Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan The Fourth Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's board of directors in April 2016 and its stockholders in June 2016 at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted and restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights, cash-based awards and other equity-based awards. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, awards with respect to up to a maximum of 27,030,000 fungible units may be granted under the 2005 Plan. Currently, different types of awards count against the limit on the number of fungible units differently, with (1) full-value awards (i.e., those that deliver the full value of the award upon vesting, such as restricted stock) counting as 3.74 Fungible Units per share subject to such awards, (2) stock options, stock appreciation rights and other awards that do not deliver full value and expire five years from the date of grant counting as 0.73 fungible units per share subject to such awards, and (3) all other awards (e.g., ten -year stock options) counting as 1.0 fungible units per share subject to such awards. Awards granted under the 2005 Plan prior to the approval of the fourth amendment and restatement in June 2016 continue to count against the fungible unit limit based on the ratios that were in effect at the time such awards were granted, which may be different than the current ratios. As a result, depending on the types of awards issued, the 2005 Plan may result in the issuance of more or less than 27,030,000 shares. If a stock option or other award granted under the 2005 Plan expires or terminates, the common stock subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Shares of our common stock distributed under the 2005 Plan may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. Currently, unless the 2005 Plan has been previously terminated by the Company's board of directors, new awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan until June 2, 2026, which is the tenth anniversary of the date that the 2005 Plan was most recently approved by the Company's stockholders. As of December 31, 2017 , 8.3 million fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors' Deferral Program and LTIP Units. Options are granted under the plan with an exercise price at the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and, subject to employment, generally expire five or ten years from the date of grant, are not transferable other than on death, and generally vest in one to five years commencing one year from the date of grant. We have also granted Class O LTIP Units, which are a class of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership structured to provide economics similar to those of stock options. Class O LTIP Units, once vested, may be converted, at the election of the holder, into a number of common units of the Operating Partnership per Class O LTIP Unit determined by the increase in value of a share of the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion over a participation threshold, which equals the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock at the time of grant. Class O LTIP Units are entitled to distributions, subject to vesting, equal per unit to 10% of the per unit distributions paid with respect to the common units of the Operating Partnership. The fair value of each stock option or LTIP Unit granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on historical information with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 . 2017 2016 2015 Dividend yield 2.51 % 2.37 % 1.97 % Expected life 4.4 years 3.7 years 3.6 years Risk-free interest rate 1.73 % 1.57 % 1.43 % Expected stock price volatility 28.10 % 26.76 % 32.34 % A summary of the status of the Company's stock options as of December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 and changes during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 are as follows: 2017 2016 2015 Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price Options Weighted Balance at beginning of year $ 1,737,213 $ 98.44 $ 1,595,007 $ 95.52 $ 1,462,726 $ 87.98 Granted 174,000 105.66 445,100 105.86 389,836 112.54 Exercised (292,193 ) 81.07 (192,875 ) 76.90 (217,438 ) 74.69 Lapsed or canceled (70,301 ) 121.68 (110,019 ) 123.86 (40,117 ) 98.61 Balance at end of year $ 1,548,719 $ 101.48 $ 1,737,213 $ 98.44 $ 1,595,007 $ 95.52 Options exercisable at end of year 800,902 $ 94.33 748,617 $ 87.72 589,055 $ 89.85 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ 3,816,652 $ 8,363,036 $ 9,522,613 All options were granted with strike prices ranging from $ 20.67 to $ 137.18 . The remaining weighted average contractual life of the options outstanding was 3.6 years and the remaining average contractual life of the options exercisable was 3.1 years. During the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , we recognized compensation expense for these options of $7.8 million , $8.9 million , and $8.0 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 , there was $8.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. Stock-based Compensation Effective January 1, 1999, the Company implemented a deferred compensation plan, or the Deferred Plan, where shares issued under the Deferred Plan were granted to certain employees, including our executives and vesting will occur annually upon the completion of a service period or our meeting established financial performance criteria. Annual vesting occurs at rates ranging from 15% to 35% once performance criteria are reached. A summary of the Company's restricted stock as of December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 and charges during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 are as follows: 2017 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of year 3,202,031 3,137,881 3,000,979 Granted 96,185 98,800 143,053 Canceled — (34,650 ) (6,151 ) Balance at end of year 3,298,216 3,202,031 3,137,881 Vested during the year 95,736 83,822 87,081 Compensation expense recorded $ 9,809,749 $ 7,153,966 $ 7,540,747 Weighted average fair value of restricted stock granted during the year $ 9,905,986 $ 10,650,077 $ 16,061,201 The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 was $9.4 million , $7.6 million and $7.4 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 , there was $21.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years . For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , $7.2 million , $6.0 million , and $6.5 million , respectively, was capitalized to assets associated with compensation expense related to our long-term compensation plans, restricted stock and stock options. We granted LTIP Units, which include bonus, time-based and performance based awards, with a fair value of $20.5 million and $34.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The grant date fair value of the LTIP Unit awards was calculated in accordance with ASC 718. A third party consultant determined the fair value of the LTIP Units to have a discount from our common stock price. The discount was calculated by considering the inherent uncertainty that the LTIP Units will reach parity with other common partnership units and the illiquidity due to transfer restrictions. As of December 31, 2017 , there was $4.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the time-based and performance based LTIP Unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. During the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , we recorded compensation expense related to bonus, time-based and performance based LTIP Unit awards of $26.1 million , $26.5 million, and $30.2 million , respectively. 2011 Outperformance Plan In August 2011, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2011 Outperformance Plan, or the 2011 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2011 Outperformance Plan could earn, in the aggregate, up to $85.0 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2011. Under the 2011 Outperformance Plan, participants were entitled to share in a "performance pool" comprised of LTIP Units with a value equal to 10% of the amount by which our total return to stockholders during the three -year period exceeded a cumulative total return to stockholders of 25% , subject to the maximum of $85.0 million of LTIP Units; provided that if maximum performance was achieved, one-third of each award could be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional one-third of each award could be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. LTIP Units earned under the 2011 Outperformance Plan were subject to vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2014 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2015, based on continued employment with us through such dates. Participants were not entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2011 Outperformance Plan unless and until they were earned. For LTIP Units that were earned, each participant was also entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions are paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested. In June 2014, the compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved during the third year of the performance period and, accordingly, 560,908 LTIP Units, representing two-thirds of each award, were earned, subject to vesting, under the 2011 Outperformance Plan. In September 2014, the compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved for the full three -year performance period and, accordingly, 280,454 LTIP units, representing the final third of each award, were earned, subject to vesting, under the 2011 Outperformance Plan. The cost of the 2011 Outperformance Plan ( $26.7 million , subject to forfeitures) was amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded no compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2017 , no compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2016 , and compensation expense of $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 , related to the 2011 Outperformance Plan. 2014 Outperformance Plan In August 2014, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2014 Outperformance Plan, or the 2014 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2014 Outperformance Plan could earn, in the aggregate, up to 610,000 LTIP Units in our Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three -year period beginning September 1, 2014. Under the 2014 Outperformance Plan, two-thirds of the LTIP Units were subject to performance based vesting based on the Company’s absolute total return to stockholders and one-third of the LTIP Units were subject to performance based vesting based on relative total return to stockholders compared to the constituents of the MSCI REIT Index. LTIP Units earned under the 2014 Outperformance Plan were to be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2017 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2018, subject to continued employment with us through such dates. Participants were not entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2014 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units were earned, each participant would have been entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of cash or additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions were to be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested. Based on our performance, none of the LTIP Units granted under the 2014 Outperformance Plan were earned pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Outperformance Plan, and all units issued were forfeited in 2017. The cost of the 2014 Outperformance Plan ( $27.9 million subject to forfeitures), based on the portion of the 2014 Outperformance Plan granted prior to termination, was amortized into earnings through December 31, 2017. We recorded compensation expense of $13.6 million , $8.4 million , and $5.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , respectively, related to the 2014 Outperformance Plan. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors Under our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program, which commenced July 2004, the Company's non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees, meeting fees and annual stock grant. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The program provides that a director's phantom stock units generally will be settled in an equal number of shares of common stock upon the earlier of (i) the January 1 coincident with or the next following such director's termination of service from the Board of Directors or (ii) a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each non-employee director quarterly using the closing price of our common stock on the first business day of the respective quarter. Each participating non-employee director is also credited with dividend equivalents or phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter, which are either paid in cash currently or credited to the director’s account as additional phantom stock units. During the year ended December 31, 2017 , 12,727 phantom stock units were earned and 9,509 shares of common stock were issued to our board of directors. We recorded compensation expense of $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the Deferred Compensation Plan. As of December 31, 2017 , there were 99,853 phantom stock units outstanding pursuant to our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program. Employee Stock Purchase Plan In 2007, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, to encourage our employees to increase their efforts to make our business more successful by providing equity-based incentives to eligible employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code, and has been adopted by the board to enable our eligible employees to purchase the Company's shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on January 1, 2008 with a maximum of 500,000 shares of the common stock available for issuance, subject to adjustment upon a merger, reorganization, stock split or other similar corporate change. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to the ESPP. The common stock is offered for purchase through a series of successive offering periods. Each offering period will be three months in duration and will begin on the first day of each calendar quarter, with the first offering period having commenced on January 1, 2008. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to purchase the common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or (2) the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. The ESPP was approved by our stockholders at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. As of December 31, 2017 , 104,597 shares of our common stock had been issued under the ESPP. |

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We are required to disclose fair value information with regard to our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and/or disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): December 31, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Marketable securities $ 28,579 $ — $ 28,579 $ — Interest rate cap and swap agreements (included in other assets) $ 16,692 $ — $ 16,692 $ — December 31, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Marketable securities $ 85,110 $ 48,315 $ 36,795 $ — Interest rate cap and swap agreements (included in other assets) $ 21,090 $ — $ 21,090 $ — Liabilities: Interest rate cap and swap agreements (included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities) $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — We determine other than temporary impairment in real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles primarily utilizing cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts. All of which are classified as Level 3 inputs. As of December 31, 2017 , we held notes receivable totaling $250.0 million , which were purchased at par, and were in maturity default at the time of acquisition. In August 2017, the Company determined that it was probable that the loans would not be repaid in full and therefore, the loans were put on non-accrual status. The loans had an outstanding balance including accrued interest of $259.3 million at the time that they were put on non accrual status. The Company has initiated proceedings to foreclose on the property, and expects to take control of the property unless the buyer is able to repay the principal and interest, including default interest and fees, on the notes receivable in full prior to the completion of the foreclosure process. We believe the collateral value is sufficient to recover the carrying amounts of the notes receivable. The marketable securities classified as Level 1 were derived from quoted prices in active markets. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of the marketable securities classified as Level 2 were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using the significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Marketable securities in an unrealized loss position are not considered to be other than temporarily impaired. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs. The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist. The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Value (1) Fair Value Carrying Value (1) Fair Value Debt and preferred equity investments $ 2,114,041 (2) $ 1,640,412 (2) Fixed rate debt $ 4,305,165 $ 4,421,866 $ 5,452,084 $ 5,722,494 Variable rate debt 1,605,431 1,612,224 1,105,585 1,110,110 $ 5,910,596 $ 6,034,090 $ 6,557,669 $ 6,832,604 (1) Amounts exclude net deferred financing costs.

At December 31, 2016 , debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion . Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments was based on pertinent information available to us as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging | Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging In the normal course of business, we use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collar and floors, to manage, or hedge interest rate risk. We hedge our exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedge asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Currently, all of our designated derivative instruments are effective hedging instruments. The following table summarizes the notional value at inception and fair value of our consolidated derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2017 based on Level 2 information. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (amounts in thousands). Notional Value Strike Rate Effective Date Expiration Date Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Interest Rate Swap $ 200,000 1.131 % July 2016 July 2023 Other Assets $ 10,747 Interest Rate Swap 100,000 1.161 % July 2016 July 2023 Other Assets 5,217 Interest Rate Swap 21,394 12.000 % January 2017 January 2019 Other Assets 167 Interest Rate Cap 137,500 4.000 % September 2017 September 2019 Other Assets 2 Interest Rate Swap 100,000 1.928 % December 2017 November 2020 Other Assets 288 Interest Rate Swap 100,000 1.934 % December 2017 November 2020 Other Assets 271 $ 16,692 During the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , we recorded a $0.5 million loss, a $0.5 million gain, and a $0.1 million gain, respectively, on the changes in the fair value, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of December 31, 2017 , the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was zero . As of December 31, 2017 , the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of zero at December 31, 2017 . Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related mortgage obligation. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that $0.5 million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into interest expense and $(0.3) million of the portion related to our share of joint venture accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures within the next 12 months. The following table presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments and our share of our joint ventures' derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , respectively (in thousands): Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Other Comprehensive Loss (Effective Portion) Location of (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into Income Amount of Loss Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into Income (Effective Portion) Location of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Income on Derivative Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized into Income (Ineffective Portion) Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Derivative 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 2017 2016 2015 Interest Rate Swaps/Caps $ (2,282 ) $ 14,616 $ (11,607 ) Interest expense $ 1,821 $ 9,521 $ 10,892 Interest expense $ 5 $ (28 ) $ (422 ) Share of unconsolidated joint ventures' derivative instruments (200 ) 2,012 (1,779 ) Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures 1,035 1,981 1,265 Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures 55 785 (19 ) $ (2,482 ) $ 16,628 $ (13,386 ) $ 2,856 $ 11,502 $ 12,157 $ 60 $ 757 $ (441 ) |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Benefit Plans | Benefit Plans The building employees are covered by multi-employer defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement health and welfare plans. We participate in the Building Service 32BJ, or Union, Pension Plan and Health Plan. The Pension Plan is a multi-employer, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that was established under the terms of collective bargaining agreements between the Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ, the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, Inc. and certain other employees. This Pension Plan is administered by a joint board of trustees consisting of union trustees and employer trustees and operates under employer identification number 13-1879376. The Pension Plan year runs from July 1 to June 30. Employers contribute to the Pension Plan at a fixed rate on behalf of each covered employee. Separate actuarial information regarding such pension plans is not made available to the contributing employers by the union administrators or trustees, since the plans do not maintain separate records for each reporting unit. However, on September 28, 2015, and September 28, 2016, and September 28, 2017, the actuary certified that for the plan years beginning July 1, 2015, July 1, 2016, and July 1, 2017, the Pension Plan was in critical status under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. The Pension Plan trustees adopted a rehabilitation plan consistent with this requirement. No surcharges have been paid to the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2017 . For the Pension Plan years ended June 30, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , the plan received contributions from employers totaling $257.8 million , $249.5 million , and $221.9 million . Our contributions to the Pension Plan represent less than 5.0% of total contributions to the plan. The Health Plan was established under the terms of collective bargaining agreements between the Union, the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, Inc. and certain other employers. The Health Plan provides health and other benefits to eligible participants employed in the building service industry who are covered under collective bargaining agreements, or other written agreements, with the Union. The Health Plan is administered by a Board of Trustees with equal representation by the employers and the Union and operates under employer identification number 13-2928869. The Health Plan receives contributions in accordance with collective bargaining agreements or participation agreements. Generally, these agreements provide that the employers contribute to the Health Plan at a fixed rate on behalf of each covered employee. For the Health Plan years ended, June 30, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , the plan received contributions from employers totaling $1.3 billion , $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion , respectively. Our contributions to the Health Plan represent less than 5.0% of total contributions to the plan. Contributions we made to the multi-employer plans for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 are included in the table below (in thousands): Benefit Plan 2017 2016 2015 Pension Plan $ 3,856 $ 3,979 $ 2,732 Health Plan 11,426 11,530 8,736 Other plans 1,463 1,583 5,716 Total plan contributions $ 16,745 $ 17,092 $ 17,184 401(K) Plan In August 1997, we implemented a 401(K) Savings/Retirement Plan, or the 401(K) Plan, to cover eligible employees of ours, and any designated affiliate. The 401(K) Plan permits eligible employees to defer up to 15% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. The employees' elective deferrals are immediately vested and non-forfeitable upon contribution to the 401(K) Plan. During 2003, we amended our 401(K) Plan to provide for discretionary matching contributions only. For 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , a matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 6% of annual compensation was made. For the year ended December 31, 2017 , we made a matching contribution of $728,782 . For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , we made matching contributions of $566,000 and $550,000 , respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings As of December 31, 2017 , the Company and the Operating Partnership were not involved in any material litigation nor, to management's knowledge, was any material litigation threatened against us or our portfolio which if adversely determined could have a material adverse impact on us. Environmental Matters Our management believes that the properties are in compliance in all material respects with applicable Federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding environmental issues. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a materially adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant environmental cost if any of our properties were sold. Employment Agreements We have entered into employment agreements with certain executives, which expire between December 2018 and February 2020. The minimum cash-based compensation, including base salary and guaranteed bonus payments, associated with these employment agreements total $5.4 million for 2018. In addition these employment agreements provide for deferred compensation awards based on our stock price and which were valued at $1.6 million on the grant date. The value of these awards may change based on fluctuations in our stock price. Insurance We maintain “all-risk” property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism, excluding nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological terrorism ("NBCR")), within three property insurance programs and liability insurance. Separate property and liability coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets, such as the development of One Vanderbilt. Additionally, our captive insurance company, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, provides coverage for NBCR terrorist acts above a specified trigger, although if Belmont is required to pay a claim under our insurance policies, we would ultimately record the loss to the extent of Belmont's required payment. However, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. Further, if we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. Additionally, our debt instruments contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance and we could default under debt our instruments if the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with such covenants relating to insurance. Belmont provides coverage solely on properties owned by the Company or its affiliates. Furthermore, with respect to certain of our properties, including properties held by joint ventures, or subject to triple net leases, insurance coverage is obtained by a third-party and we do not control the coverage. While we may have agreements with such third parties to maintain adequate coverage and we monitor these policies, such coverage ultimately may not be maintained or adequately cover our risk of loss. Belmont had loss reserves of $5.5 million and $6.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Capital and Ground Leases Arrangements In 2015, we entered into a ground lease for the land and building located at 30 East 40th Street with a lease term ending in August 2114. Based on our evaluation of the arrangement under ASC 840, land was estimated to be approximately 63.6% of the fair market value of the property. The portion attributable to land was classified as operating lease with an expiration date of 2114 ( $76.0 million total over the lease term attributed to ground rent) and the remainder as a capital lease in the amount of $20.0 million . The property located at 420 Lexington Avenue operates under a ground lease ( $10.9 million of ground rent annually through December 2019, $11.2 million of ground rent annually through December 2029, and $12.3 million annually afterwards, subject to a one-time adjustment based on 6% of the fair value of the land) with an expiration date of 2050 and two options to renew for an additional 35 years. The property located at 1080 Amsterdam Avenue operates under a ground and capital lease with an expiration date of 2111 ( $41.6 million total over the lease term attributed to ground rent). Land was estimated to be 40.0% of the fair market value of the property, which was classified as an operating lease. The remainder was classified as a capital lease. The property located at 711 Third Avenue operates under an operating sub-lease with an expiration date of 2033 and five options to renew for an additional 10 years each. The ground rent was reset in July 2011. Following the reset, we are responsible for ground rent payments of $5.25 million annually through July 2016 and then $5.5 million annually thereafter on the 50% portion of the fee that we do not own. The property located at 461 Fifth Avenue operates under a ground lease ( $2.1 million of ground rent annually) with an expiration date of 2027 and two options to renew for an additional 21 years each, followed by a third option for 15 years. We also have an option to purchase the fee position for a fixed price on a specific date. The property located at 625 Madison Avenue operates under a ground lease ( $4.6 million of ground rent annually) with an expiration date of 2022 and two options to renew for an additional 23 years. The property located at 1185 Avenue of the Americas operates under a ground lease ( $6.9 million of ground rent annually) with an expiration date of 2043 and an option to renew for an additional 23 years. The property located at 1055 Washington Boulevard operates under a ground lease ( $0.6 million of ground rent annually) with an expiration date of 2090. The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under capital leases and non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2017 (in thousands): Capital lease Non-cancellable operating leases 2018 $ 2,387 $ 31,049 2019 2,411 31,066 2020 2,620 31,436 2021 2,794 31,628 2022 2,794 29,472 Thereafter 819,894 703,254 Total minimum lease payments $ 832,900 $ 857,905 Amount representing interest (790,057 ) Capital lease obligations $ 42,843 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company is a REIT engaged in all aspects of property ownership and management including investment, leasing operations, capital improvements, development, redevelopment, financing, construction and maintenance in the New York metropolitan area and have two reportable segments, real estate and debt and preferred equity. We evaluate real estate performance and allocate resources based on earnings contribution to income from continuing operations. The primary sources of revenue are generated from tenant rents and escalations and reimbursement revenue. Real estate property operating expenses consist primarily of security, maintenance, utility costs, real estate taxes and ground rent expense (at certain applicable properties). See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments," for additional details on our debt and preferred equity investments. Selected results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 , and selected asset information as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , regarding our operating segments are as follows (in thousands): Real Estate Segment Debt and Preferred Equity Segment Total Company Total revenues Years ended: December 31, 2017 $ 1,317,602 $ 193,871 $ 1,511,473 December 31, 2016 1,650,973 213,008 1,863,981 December 31, 2015 1,481,701 181,128 1,662,829 Income from continuing operations before equity in net gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated joint venture/real estate, purchase price fair value adjustment, gain on sale of real estate, depreciable real estate reserves, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and gain (loss) on sale of marketable securities Years ended: December 31, 2017 $ 16,557 $ 170,363 $ 186,920 December 31, 2016 (197,000 ) 204,256 7,256 December 31, 2015 (71,634 ) 161,923 90,289 Total assets As of: December 31, 2017 $ 11,696,560 $ 2,286,344 $ 13,982,904 December 31, 2016 13,868,672 1,989,115 15,857,787 Income from continuing operations represents total revenues less total expenses for the real estate segment and total investment income less allocated interest expense for the debt and preferred equity segment. Interest costs for the debt and preferred equity segment includes actual costs incurred for investments collateralizing the MRA. Interest is imputed on the remaining investments using our corporate borrowing cost. We also allocate loan loss reserves, net of recoveries, and transaction related costs to the debt and preferred equity segment. We do not allocate marketing, general and administrative expenses to the debt and preferred equity segment since the use of personnel and resources is dependent on transaction volume between the two segments and varies period over period. In addition, we base performance on the individual segments prior to allocating marketing, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended, December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $100.5 million , $99.8 million , and $94.9 million respectively. All other expenses, except interest, relate entirely to the real estate assets. There were no transactions between the above two segments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the presentation of net income is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture and debt and preferred equity investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine the rights provided to each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIEs, we review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. In situations where we and our partner approve, among other things, the annual budget, receive a detailed monthly reporting package, meet on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, review and approve the joint venture's tax return before filing, and approve all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture. Our joint venture agreements typically contain certain protective rights such as requiring partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. In January 2018, the partnership agreement for our investment in the property at 919 Third Avenue was modified resulting in our partner now having substantive participating rights in the venture. As a result the investment will no longer be deemed a VIE and our investment in the property will be deconsolidated as of January 1, 2018. The Company will record its non-controlling interest at fair value. This fair value will be allocated to the assets and liabilities, including identified intangibles. Under this methodology, the leases are ascribed an in-place lease intangible value as well as an above or below market lease intangible value which will be amortized over the remaining term of the associated leases. |
Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties | Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties Real estate properties are presented at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the development or redevelopment of properties are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. We recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed (including contingencies) and any noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. When we acquire our partner's equity interest in an existing unconsolidated joint venture and gain control over the investment, we record the consolidated investment at fair value. The difference between the book value of our equity investment on the purchase date and our share of the fair value of the investment's purchase price is recorded as a purchase price fair value adjustment in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, "Property Acquisitions." We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from one to 14 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from one to 14 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below-market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period. As of December 31, 2017 , the weighted average amortization period for above-market leases, below-market leases, and in-place lease costs is 6.0 years, 23.3 years, and 16.3 years, respectively. We incur a variety of costs in the development and leasing of our properties. After the determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment. The costs of land and building under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include, but are not limited to, pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year after major construction activity ceases. We cease capitalization on the portions substantially completed and occupied or held available for occupancy, and capitalize only those costs associated with the portions under construction. Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Category Term Building (fee ownership) 40 years Building improvements shorter of remaining life of the building or useful life Building (leasehold interest) lesser of 40 years or remaining term of the lease Property under capital lease remaining lease term Furniture and fixtures four to seven years Tenant improvements shorter of remaining term of the lease or useful life Depreciation expense (including amortization of capital lease assets) totaled $365.3 million , $783.5 million , and $523.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate properties may be other than temporarily impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property. We also evaluate our real estate properties for impairment when a property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and depreciation expense is no longer recorded. See Note 4, "Properties Held for Sale and Dispositions." |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. |
Fair Value Measurements | We determine other than temporary impairment in real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles primarily utilizing cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts. All of which are classified as Level 3 inputs. As of December 31, 2017 , we held notes receivable totaling $250.0 million , which were purchased at par, and were in maturity default at the time of acquisition. In August 2017, the Company determined that it was probable that the loans would not be repaid in full and therefore, the loans were put on non-accrual status. The loans had an outstanding balance including accrued interest of $259.3 million at the time that they were put on non accrual status. The Company has initiated proceedings to foreclose on the property, and expects to take control of the property unless the buyer is able to repay the principal and interest, including default interest and fees, on the notes receivable in full prior to the completion of the foreclosure process. We believe the collateral value is sufficient to recover the carrying amounts of the notes receivable. The marketable securities classified as Level 1 were derived from quoted prices in active markets. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of the marketable securities classified as Level 2 were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using the significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Marketable securities in an unrealized loss position are not considered to be other than temporarily impaired. We do not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs. The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist. Fair Value Measurements We are required to disclose fair value information with regard to our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and/or disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. |
Investment in Marketable Securities | Investment in Marketable Securities At acquisition, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. As of December 31, 2017 , we did not have any securities designated as held-to-maturity or trading. We account for our available-for-sale securities at fair value pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 820-10, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Any unrealized losses that are determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized in earnings up to their credit component. The cost of bonds and marketable securities sold is determined using the specific identification method. |
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures | Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting in cases where we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities and are not considered to be the primary beneficiary. We consolidate those joint ventures that we control or which are VIEs and where we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. In all these joint ventures, the rights of the joint venture partner are both protective as well as participating. Unless we are determined to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, these participating rights preclude us from consolidating these VIE entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. Equity in net income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures is allocated based on our ownership or economic interest in each joint venture. When a capital event (as defined in each joint venture agreement) such as a refinancing occurs, if return thresholds are met, future equity income will be allocated at our increased economic interest. We recognize incentive income from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures as income to the extent it is earned and not subject to a clawback feature. Distributions we receive from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in excess of our basis in the investment are recorded as offsets to our investment balance if we remain liable for future obligations of the joint venture or may otherwise be committed to provide future additional financial support. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to us. The Company has performance guarantees under master leases at two joint ventures. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on the joint ventures' projected discounted cash flows. We do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at December 31, 2017 . We may originate loans for real estate acquisition, development and construction, where we expect to receive some of the residual profit from such projects. When the risk and rewards of these arrangements are essentially the same as an investor or joint venture partner, we account for these arrangements as real estate investments under the equity method of accounting for investments. Otherwise, we account for these arrangements consistent with the accounting for our debt and preferred equity investments. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits held on behalf of our tenants, interest reserves, as well as capital improvement and real estate tax escrows required under certain loan agreements. |
Deferred Lease Costs | Deferred Lease Costs Deferred lease costs consist of fees and direct costs incurred to execute operating leases and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term. Certain of our employees provide leasing services to the wholly-owned properties. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal, title and other third party costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing which result in a closing of such financing. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective agreements. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions, which do not close, are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close. Deferred debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. |
Revenue Recognition | We record a gain on sale of real estate when title is conveyed to the buyer, subject to the buyer's financial commitment being sufficient to provide economic substance to the sale and provided that we have no substantial economic involvement with the buyer. Interest income on debt and preferred equity investments is accrued based on the contractual terms of the instruments and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Some debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and operations of the borrower. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt. Deferred origination fees, original issue discounts and loan origination costs, if any, are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the terms of the related investments using the effective interest method. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are also deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of loans are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method based on expected cash flows through the expected maturity date of the related investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount. For debt investments acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted. Anticipated exit fees, the collection of which is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Debt and preferred equity investments are placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition on any non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment is resumed when such non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Interest is recorded as income on impaired loans only to the extent cash is received. We may syndicate a portion of the loans that we originate or sell the loans individually. When a transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting, we derecognize the loan sold and recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold. Any related unamortized deferred origination fees, original issue discounts, loan origination costs, discounts or premiums at the time of sale are recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss on sale, which is included in investment income on the consolidated statement of operations. Any fees received at the time of sale or syndication are recognized as part of investment income. Asset management fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the asset management agreement. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. In order for the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, management evaluates whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner (the tenant is the owner) of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record amounts funded to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. For these tenant improvements, we record amounts reimbursed by tenants as a reduction of the capital asset. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred costs, net on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. We establish, on a current basis, an allowance for future potential tenant credit losses, which may occur against this account. The balance reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is net of such allowance. In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters' wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required |
Reserve for Possible Credit Losses | Reserve for Possible Credit Losses The expense for possible credit losses in connection with debt and preferred equity investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible credit losses to the level that we estimate to be adequate, based on Level 3 data, considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered include geographic trends, product diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we establish a provision for possible credit loss on each individual investment. When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the investment is considered impaired. Where impairment is indicated on an investment that is held to maturity, a valuation allowance is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the fair value of the collateral. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the calculated value of the collateral is charged to expense. We continue to assess or adjust our estimates based on circumstances of a loan and the underlying collateral. If additional information reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly. There were no loan reserves recorded during the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 , and 2015 . Debt and preferred equity investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its net carrying value to debt and preferred equity investments held to maturity. For these reclassified investments, the difference between the current carrying value and the expected cash to be collected at maturity will be accreted into income over the remaining term of the investment |
Rent Expense | Rent Expense Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. The excess of the rent expense recognized over the amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying lease is included in the deferred lease payable on the consolidated balance sheets. |
Underwriting Commissions and Costs | Underwriting Commissions and Costs Underwriting commissions and costs incurred in connection with our stock offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital |
Exchangeable Debt Instruments | Exchangeable Debt Instruments The initial proceeds from exchangeable debt that may be settled in cash, including partial cash settlements, are bifurcated between a liability component and an equity component associated with the embedded conversion option. The objective of the accounting guidance is to require the liability and equity components of exchangeable debt to be separately accounted for in a manner such that the interest expense on the exchangeable debt is not recorded at the stated rate of interest but rather at an effective rate that reflects the issuer's conventional debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. We calculate the liability component of exchangeable debt based on the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at our comparable market conventional debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance. The difference between the principal amount and the fair value of the liability component is reported as a discount on the exchangeable debt that is accreted as additional interest expense from the issuance date through the contractual maturity date using the effective interest method. A portion of this additional interest expense may be capitalized to the development and redevelopment balances qualifying for interest capitalization each period. The liability component of the exchangeable debt is reported net of discounts on our consolidated balance sheets. We calculate the equity component of exchangeable debt based on the difference between the initial proceeds received from the issuance of the exchangeable debt and the fair value of the liability component at the issuance date. The equity component is included in additional paid-in-capital, net of issuance costs, on our consolidated balance sheets. We allocate issuance costs for exchangeable debt between the liability and the equity components based on their relative values. |
Transaction cost | Transaction Costs In January 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which changed how we account for transaction costs. Prior to January 2017, transaction costs were expensed as incurred. Starting in January 2017, transaction costs for asset acquisitions are capitalized to the investment basis which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value and transaction costs for business combinations or costs incurred on potential transactions which are not consummated are expensed as incurred. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes SL Green is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, SL Green generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, SL Green must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If SL Green fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, SL Green will be subject to Federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. SL Green may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income. The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The only provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations relates to the Operating Partnership’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Pursuant to amendments to the Code that became effective January 1, 2001, we have elected, and may elect in the future, to treat certain of our existing or newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. In general, TRSs may perform non-customary services for the tenants of the Company, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRSs generate income, resulting in Federal and state income tax liability for these entities. During the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , we recorded Federal, state and local tax provisions of $4.3 million , $2.8 million , and $3.1 million , respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company paid distributions on its common stock of $3.10 per share which represented $1.24 per share of ordinary income and $1.86 per share of capital gains. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company paid distributions on its common stock of $2.88 per share which represented $2.48 per share of ordinary income, and $0.40 per share of capital gains. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company paid distributions on its common stock of $2.40 per share which represented $0.00 per share of ordinary income and $2.40 per share of capital gains. We follow a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts |
Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans | Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans We have a stock-based employee compensation plan, described more fully in Note 14, "Share-based Compensation." The Company's stock options are recorded at fair value at the time of issuance. Fair value of the stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our plan has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in our opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options. Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Our policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company's common stock on either the grant date or the date immediately preceding the grant date. Awards of stock or restricted stock are expensed as compensation over the benefit period based on the fair value of the stock on the grant date. For share-based awards with a performance or market measure, we recognize compensation cost over the requisite service period, using the accelerated attribution expense method. The requisite service period begins on the date the compensation committee of our board of directors authorizes the award, adopts any relevant performance measures and communicates the award to the employees. For programs with awards that vest based on the achievement of a performance condition or market condition, we determine whether it is probable that the performance condition will be met, and estimate compensation cost based on the fair value of the award at the applicable award date estimated using a binomial model or market quotes. For share-based awards for which there is no pre-established performance measure, we recognize compensation cost over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, on a straight-line basis. In accordance with the provisions of our share-based incentive compensation plans, we accept the return of shares of the Company's common stock, at the current quoted market price, from certain key employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax-withholding requirements related to shares that vested during the period. Awards can also be made in the form of a separate series of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership called long-term incentive plan units, or LTIP units. LTIP units, which can be granted either as free-standing awards or in tandem with other awards under our stock incentive plan, are valued by reference to the value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant, and are subject to such conditions and restrictions as the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors may determine, including continued employment or service, computation of financial metrics and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments In the normal course of business, we use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. Effectiveness is essential for those derivatives that we intend to qualify for hedge accounting. Some derivative instruments are associated with an anticipated transaction. In those cases, hedge effectiveness criteria also require that it be probable that the underlying transaction occurs. Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract. To determine the fair values of derivative instruments, we use a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. For the majority of financial instruments including most derivatives, long-term investments and long-term debt, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost, and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. To address exposure to interest rates, derivatives are used primarily to fix the rate on debt based on floating-rate indices and manage the cost of borrowing obligations. We use a variety of conventional derivative products. These derivatives typically include interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors. We expressly prohibit the use of unconventional derivative instruments and using derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, we have a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. We may employ swaps, forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying forecasted transactions. Gains and losses related to these transactions are deferred and recognized in net income as interest expense in the same period or periods that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. Hedges that are reported at fair value and presented on the balance sheet could be characterized as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. Interest rate caps and collars are examples of cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges address the risk associated with future cash flows of interest payments. For all hedges held by us and which were deemed to be fully effective in meeting the hedging objectives established by our corporate policy governing interest rate risk management, no net gains or losses were reported in earnings. The changes in fair value of hedge instruments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss, resulting from the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change. |
Earnings per Share of the Company | Earnings per Share of the Company The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS includes participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted stock that receive nonforfeitable dividends similar to shares of common stock. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. Diluted EPS also includes units of limited partnership interest. The dilutive effect of stock options is reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect for the exchangeable senior notes as the conversion premium will be paid in cash. |
Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership | Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership The Operating Partnership presents both basic and diluted earnings per unit, or EPU. Basic EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic EPU includes participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted units that receive nonforfeitable dividends similar to shares of common units. Diluted EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPU amount. The dilutive effect of unit options is reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding units calculation by application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect for the exchangeable senior notes as the conversion premium will be paid in cash. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt and preferred equity investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is located in the New York metropolitan area. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments." We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant's lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost revenue and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space. The properties in our real estate portfolio are located in the New York metropolitan area. The tenants located in our buildings operate in various industries. |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation. |
Accounting Standards Updates | Accounting Standards Updates In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in the new standard will permit more flexibility in hedging interest rate risk for both variable rate and fixed rate financial instruments. The standard will also enhance the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the guidance, and does not expect a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented. In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance clarifies the changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the guidance, and does not expect a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance to assist with determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The main provision is that an acquiree is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of assets. The Company adopted the guidance on the issuance date effective January 5, 2017. The Company expects that most of its real estate acquisitions will be considered asset acquisitions under the new guidance and that transaction costs will be capitalized to the investment basis which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The guidance will require entities to show the changes on the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between these items on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The ASU provides final guidance on eight cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees, separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle, and others. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2017 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current ‘incurred loss’ model with an ‘expected loss’ approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2017 and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The guidance eliminates the requirement that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2017 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under the previous standard. Depending on the lease classification, lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under the previous standard. One of the potential impacts on the Company may be the presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of non-lease components such as charges to tenants for a building’s operating expenses. As currently written, the guidance would require that the non-lease components be presented separately from the lease components in both the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets. In January 2018, the FASB issued an exposure draft, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which would provide lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component under certain conditions. We anticipate the majority of our leases would qualify for the practical expedient. We expect this guidance to be finalized in 2018 and, as a result, we would adopt the practical expedient. Another impact is the measurement and presentation of ground leases under which the Company is lessee. The Company is required to record a liability for the obligation to make payments under the lease and an asset for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and will also apply the new expense recognition requirements given the lease classification. The Company is currently quantifying these impacts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value through earnings to record changes in instruments-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option in other comprehensive income, use the exit price notion when measuring an instrument’s fair value for disclosure and to separately present financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of instrument on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and does not expect a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new comprehensive revenue recognition guidance which requires us to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services (ASU 2014-09). The FASB also issued implementation guidance in March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 - ASU’s 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12, respectively. These ASUs are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt this guidance January 1, 2018. Since the Company’s revenue is related to leasing activities, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The new guidance is applicable to service contracts with joint ventures for which the Company earns property management fees, leasing commissions and development and construction fees. The adoption of this new guidance does not change the accounting for these fees as the pattern of recognition of revenue does not change with the new guidance. We will continue to recognize revenue over time on these contracts because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance. Thus, the analysis of our contracts under the new revenue recognition standard is consistent with our current revenue recognition model. In February 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-05 to clarify the scope of asset derecognition guidance in Subtopic 610-20, which also provided guidance on accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20 was issued in May 2014 as part of ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt this guidance January 1, 2018, and apply the modified retrospective approach. Additionally, the Company will elect to adopt the practical expedient under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which allows an entity to apply the guidance to only to contracts with non-customers that are open based on the ASU 360-20, Real Estate Sales, (i.e. failed sales) as of the adoption date. The Company had one open contract in 2017 with a non-customer that will be evaluated under ASC 610-20. The Company entered into an agreement to sell a portion of their interest in an entity that held a controlling interest in the property at 1515 Broadway. Upon execution of the agreement in 2017, the transaction was evaluated under ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales, and did not meet the criteria for sale accounting. Upon adoption of ASC 606, this contract will have met the criteria for sale accounting under ASC 610-20 and will be recorded in the first quarter of 2018 as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Through the sale, the Company no longer retains a controlling interest, as defined in ASC 810, Consolidation, and the impact of this adjustment will be a gain of $0.6 billion from the sale of the partial interest and related step-up in basis to fair value of the non-controlling interest retained. The Company will use the purchase price paid by the third party as an indicator of fair value. This purchase price will be allocated to the assets and liabilities, including identified intangibles. Under this methodology the leases are ascribed an in-place lease intangible value as well as an above or below market lease intangible value which will be amortized over the remaining term of the associated leases. |

Additionally, amounts do not include adjustments for expenses recorded in subsequent periods. (3) In November 2017, the Company sold a 30.13% interest in 1515 Broadway to affiliates of Allianz Real Estate. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and as a result the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method. The Company achieved sale accounting upon adoption of ASC 610-20 in January 2018 and closed on the sale of an additional 12.87% interest in the property to Allianz in February 2018. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." (4) The Company recorded a $26.1 million charge in 2017 that is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations. (5) The Company recorded a $44.2 million charge in 2017 that is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations. (6) The Company recorded a $14.6 million charge in 2017 that is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations. (7) In April 2017, we closed on the sale of a 90% interest 102 Greene Street and had subsequently accounted for our interest in the property as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. We sold the remaining 10% interest in September 2017. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." (8) In August 2016, we sold a 40% interest in 11 Madison Avenue. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and, as a result, the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method. In November 2016, the Company obtained consent to the modifications to the mortgage on the property, which resulted in the Company achieving sale accounting on the transaction. See Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." (9) The Company recorded a $10.4 million charge in 2016 that is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations (10) In February 2016, we closed on the sale of 885 Third Avenue.

The loans had an outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of $259.3 million at the time that they were put on non-accrual status. (4) In September 2014, we acquired a $26.4 million mortgage loan at a $0.2 million discount and a $5.7 million junior mortgage participation at a $5.7 million discount.

Changes in ownership or economic interests within the current year are disclosed in the notes below. (2) Acquisition date and price represent the date on which the Company initially acquired an interest in the joint venture and the actual or implied gross purchase price for the joint venture on that date. Acquisition date and price are not adjusted for subsequent acquisitions or dispositions of interest. (3) During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $6.6 million charge in connection with this investment. This charge is included in depreciable real estate reserves in the consolidated statement of operations. (4) As a result of the sale of a condominium interest in September 2012, Young & Rubicam, Inc., or Y&R, owns floors three through eight at the property. Because the joint venture has an option to repurchase these floors, the gain associated with this sale was deferred. (5) The purchase price represents only the purchase of the 1552 Broadway interest which comprised approximately 13,045 square feet. The joint venture also owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space and certain other spaces at 1560 Broadway, which is adjacent to 1552 Broadway. (6) We hold a 32.28% interest in three retail and two residential units at the property and a 16.14% interest in three residential units at the property. (7) The joint venture owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space at 650 Fifth Avenue. In connection with the ground lease obligation, SLG provided a performance guaranty and our joint venture partner executed a contribution agreement to reflect its pro rata obligation. In the event the property is converted into a condominium unit and the landlord elects the purchase option, the joint venture shall be obligated to acquire the unit at the then fair value. (8) In March 2017, the Company sold a partial interest in the Stonehenge Portfolio as further described under Sale of Joint Venture Interest of Properties below. In February 2018, the Company, together with its joint venture partner, closed on the sale of one property from the Stonehenge Portfolio. (9) The joint venture acquired a leasehold interest in the property in October 2016. (10) In October 2016, the Company sold a 49% interest in this property to an investment account managed BlackRock, Inc. The Company's interest in the property was sold within a consolidated joint venture owned 90% by the Company and 10% by Stonehenge. The transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of the venture's remaining 51% interest in the property. The Company's joint venture with Stonehenge remains consolidated resulting in the combined 51% interest being shown within investments in unconsolidated joint ventures on the Company's balance sheet. (11) In January 2017, the Company admitted two partners, National Pension Service of Korea and Hines Interest LP, into the One Vanderbilt development project. In April 2017, the criteria for deconsolidation were met, and the development is shown within investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The partners have committed aggregate equity to the project totaling no less than $525 million and their ownership interest in the joint venture is based on their capital contributions, up to an aggregate maximum of 29.0% . At December 31, 2017 the total of the two partners' ownership interests based on equity contributed was 3.48% . (12) In May 2017, the Company contributed a mezzanine loan secured by a commercial property in midtown Manhattan to a joint venture and retained a 33.33% interest in the venture. The carrying value is net of $10.0 million that was sold, which is included in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the transfers not meeting the conditions for sale accounting. The loan matures in November 2018. (13) In September 2017, the Company and RXR Realty formed a joint venture in which each partner owns a 50% interest. In October 2017, this joint venture purchased a 48.7% interest in the property known as Worldwide Plaza from New York REIT. New York REIT owns the remaining 51.3% with its existing partner. (14) In November 2017, the Company sold a 30.13% interest in 1515 Broadway to affiliates of Allianz Real Estate. The sale did not meet the criteria for sale accounting and as a result the property was accounted for under the profit sharing method at December 31, 2017. Under the profit sharing method the Company recognized its share of the operations of the property and also recognized the other partner's share of depreciation. Included in equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures is $0.9 million of depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2017 representing the other partner's share of depreciation. The Company achieved sale accounting upon adoption of ASC 610-20 in January 2018 and closed on the sale of an additional 12.87% interest in the property to Allianz in February 2018. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the carrying value for acquisition, development and construction arrangements were as follows (in thousands): Loan Type December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Maturity Date Mezzanine Loan and Preferred Equity $ 100,000 $ 100,000 March 2018 Mezzanine Loan (1) 44,823 45,622 February 2022 Mezzanine Loan (2) 26,716 24,542 July 2036 $ 171,539 $ 170,164 (1) We have an option to convert our loan to an equity interest subject to certain conditions.
