Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both [Abstract]
COVID-19 Pandemic	COVID-19 Pandemic Our business has been adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Some of the effects on us include the following: • With the exception of grocery stores and other "essential" businesses, many of our retail tenants closed their stores in March 2020 and began reopening when New York City entered phase two of its state-mandated reopening plan on June 22, 2020, however, there continue to be limitations on occupancy and other restrictions that affect their ability to resume full operations. • While our buildings remain open, many of our office tenants are working remotely. • We temporarily closed the Hotel Pennsylvania on April 1, 2020 and on April 5, 2021, we announced that we permanently closed the hotel. • We cancelled trade shows at theMART beginning late March of 2020 and expect to resume trade shows in the third quarter of 2021. • As of April 30, 2021, approximately 70% of the 1,293 Building Maintenance Services LLC ("BMS") employees that had been placed on furlough in 2020 have returned to work. While we believe our tenants are required to pay rent under their leases and we have commenced legal proceedings against certain tenants that have failed to pay under their leases, in limited circumstances, we have agreed to and may continue to agree to rent deferrals and rent abatements for certain of our tenants. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we collected 96% of rent due from our tenants, comprised of 97% from our office tenants and 90% from our retail tenants. Based on our assessment of the probability of rent collection of our lease receivables, we have written off $1,001,000 of receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In addition, we have written off $2,910,000 of tenant receivables deemed uncollectible for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These write-offs resulted in a reduction of lease revenues and our share of income from partially owned entities. Prospectively, revenue recognition for lease receivables deemed uncollectible will be based on actual amounts received.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated and all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC. We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. In addition, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Literature	Recently Issued Accounting Literature In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update ("ASU 2020-04") establishing Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform . ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In August 2020, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2020-06") Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Fund Investments [Abstract]
Real Estate Fund Investments	Real Estate Fund Investments We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) and own a 25.0% interest in the Fund, which had an initial eight-year term ending February 2019. On January 29, 2018, the Fund's term was extended to February 2023. The Fund's three-year investment period ended in July 2013. The Fund is accounted for under ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting. We are the general partner and investment manager of the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Joint Venture (the “Crowne Plaza Joint Venture”) and own a 57.1% interest in the joint venture which owns the 24.7% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel not owned by the Fund. The Crowne Plaza Joint Venture is also accounted for under ASC 946 and we consolidate the accounts of the joint venture into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting. On June 9, 2020, the joint venture between the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture defaulted on the $274,355,000 non-recourse loan on the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel. The interest-only loan, which bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 3.69% (3.90% as of March 31, 2021) and provides for additional default interest of 3.00%, was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we had four real estate fund investments through the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture with an aggregate fair value of $3,739,000, $339,516,000 below cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $29,194,000, of which our share was $9,266,000. As of December 31, 2020, those four real estate fund investments had an aggregate fair value of $3,739,000. Below is a summary of income (loss) from the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments in Partially Owned Entities	Investments in Partially Owned Entities Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV As of March 31, 2021, we own a 51.5% common interest in a joint venture ("Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV") which owns interests in properties located at 640 Fifth Avenue, 655 Fifth Avenue, 666 Fifth Avenue, 689 Fifth Avenue, 697-703 Fifth Avenue, 1535 Broadway and 1540 Broadway (collectively, the "Properties"). The remaining 48.5% common interest in the joint venture is owned by a group of institutional investors (the "Investors"). Our 51.5% common interest in the joint venture represents an effective 51.0% interest in the Properties. The 48.5% common interest in the joint venture owned by the Investors represents an effective 47.2% interest in the Properties. We provide various services to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV in accordance with management, development, leasing and other agreements. We also own $1.828 billion of preferred equity security interests in certain of the properties. The preferred equity has an annual coupon of 4.25% through April 2024, increasing to 4.75% for the subsequent five years and thereafter at a formulaic rate. It can be redeemed under certain conditions on a tax deferred basis. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying amount of our investment in the joint venture was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of the joint venture by approximately $399,434,000, the basis difference primarily resulting from non-cash impairment losses recognized during 2020. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as a reduction to depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. 7. Investments in Partially Owned Entities - continued Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX) As of March 31, 2021, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity. We manage, develop and lease Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of March 31, 2021, the market value ("fair value" pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820")) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s March 31, 2021 closing share price of $277.30, was $458,673,000, or $375,445,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeded our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $38,430,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt Secured Debt On March 7, 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for our $500,000,000 PENN 11 mortgage loan, to swap the interest rate on the mortgage loan from LIBOR plus 2.75% (2.85% as of March 31, 2021) to a fixed rate of 3.03% through March 2024. On March 26, 2021, we completed a $350,000,000 refinancing of 909 Third Avenue, a 1.4 million square foot Manhattan office building. The interest-only loan bears a fixed rate of 3.23% and matures in April 2031. The loan replaces the previous $350,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 3.91% and was scheduled to mature in May 2021. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility On April 15, 2021, we extended our $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility from January 2023 (as fully extended) to April 2026 (as fully extended). The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered to LIBOR plus 0.90% from LIBOR plus 1.00%. The facility fee remains at 20 basis points. Our $1.50 billion unsecured revolving credit facility matures in March 2024 (as fully extended) and also has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.90% and a facility fee of 20 basis points.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Redeemable Noncontrolling Partnership Units Redeemable noncontrolling partnership units are primarily comprised of Class A Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable noncontrolling partnership units. (Amounts in thousands) For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 511,747 $ 888,915 Net income 329 390 Other comprehensive income (loss) 886 (2,983) Distributions (7,461) (8,898) Redemption of Class A units for Vornado common shares, at redemption value (4,103) (1,640) Redeemable Class A unit measurement adjustment 126,936 (267,170) Other, net 11,859 15,185 Ending balance $ 640,193 $ 623,799 As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units of the Operating Partnership, which are those units held by third parties, was $635,658,000 and $507,212,000, respectively, based on Vornado's quarter-end closing common share price. Redeemable noncontrolling partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity , because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $50,249,000 and $50,002,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” on our consolidated statements of income. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary The consolidated joint venture in which we own a 95% interest is developing Farley Office and Retail (the "Project"). During 2020, a historic tax credit investor (the "Tax Credit Investor") funded $92,400,000 of capital contributions and is expected to make additional capital contributions in future periods. The arrangement includes a put option whereby the joint venture may be obligated to purchase the Tax Credit Investor’s ownership interest in the Project at a future date. The put price is calculated based on a pre-determined formula. As exercise of the put option is outside of the joint venture’s control, the Tax Credit Investor’s interest, together with the put option, have been recorded to “redeemable noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary” on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. There was no adjustment required for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Below is a table summarizing the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)	Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") Unconsolidated VIEs As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have several unconsolidated VIEs. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 7 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities ). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $104,866,000 and $224,754,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to the carrying amount of our investments. Consolidated VIEs Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the Operating Partnership (for Vornado), the Farley joint venture and certain properties that have non-controlling interests. These entities are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. We consolidate these entities because we control all significant business activities. As of March 31, 2021, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,101,742,000 and $1,720,045,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,053,841,000 and $1,722,719,000, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) real estate fund investments, (ii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets), (iii) loans receivable (for which we have elected the fair value option under ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10")), (iv) interest rate swaps and (v) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units). The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy. (Amounts in thousands) As of March 31, 2021 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Real estate fund investments $ 3,739 $ — $ — $ 3,739 Deferred compensation plan assets ($9,773 included in restricted cash and $98,116 in other assets) 107,889 66,250 — 41,639 Loans receivable ($43,849 included in investments in partially owned entities and $4,360 in other assets) 48,209 — — 48,209 Interest rate swaps (included in other assets) 1,900 — 1,900 — Total assets $ 161,737 $ 66,250 $ 1,900 $ 93,587 Mandatorily redeemable instruments (included in other liabilities) $ 50,249 $ 50,249 $ — $ — Interest rate swaps (included in other liabilities) 56,275 — 56,275 — Total liabilities $ 106,524 $ 50,249 $ 56,275 $ — (Amounts in thousands) As of December 31, 2020 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Real estate fund investments $ 3,739 $ — $ — $ 3,739 Deferred compensation plan assets ($10,813 included in restricted cash and $94,751 in other assets) 105,564 65,636 — 39,928 Loans receivable ($43,008 included in investments in partially owned entities and $4,735 in other assets) 47,743 — — 47,743 Interest rate swaps (included in other assets) 17 — 17 — Total assets $ 157,063 $ 65,636 $ 17 $ 91,410 Mandatorily redeemable instruments (included in other liabilities) $ 50,002 $ 50,002 $ — $ — Interest rate swaps (included in other liabilities) 66,033 — 66,033 — Total liabilities $ 116,035 $ 50,002 $ 66,033 $ — 13. Fair Value Measurements - continued Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis - continued Real Estate Fund Investments As of March 31, 2021, we had four real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $3,739,000, $339,516,000 below cost. These investments are classified as Level 3. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates. These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, current and anticipated market conditions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments. Range Weighted Average Unobservable Quantitative Input March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Discount rates 7.1% to 15.0% 7.6% to 15.0% 11.9% 12.7% Terminal capitalization rates 5.3% to 10.6% 5.5% to 10.3% 7.3% 7.9% The inputs above are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit. Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments. The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows. Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund. The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis. The period of time over which these underlying assets are expected to be liquidated is unknown. The third party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

We recognize the fair values of all derivatives in "other assets" or "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. 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. 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.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis There were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheet consisted of real estate assets that have been written down to estimated fair value for impairment purposes. The impairment losses primarily relate to wholly owned street retail assets. Our estimate of the fair value of these assets was measured using widely accepted valuation techniques including (i) discounted cash flow analyses based upon market conditions and expectations of growth and utilized unobservable quantitative inputs, including a capitalization rate of 5.0% and discount rate of 7.0%, and (ii) comparable sales activity. (Amounts in thousands) As of December 31, 2020 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Real estate assets $ 191,116 $ — $ — $ 191,116 Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), and our secured and unsecured debt. Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist. For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation We account for all equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation . Stock-based compensation expense, a component of "general and administrative" expense on our consolidated statements of income, was $21,225,000 and $25,765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 2021 Outperformance Plan ("2021 OPP") On January 12, 2021, the Compensation Committee of Vornado's Board of Trustees approved the 2021 OPP, a multi-year, $30,000,000 performance-based equity compensation plan. Awards under the 2021 OPP may potentially be earned if Vornado (i) achieves a total shareholder return ("TSR") greater than 28% over a four The value of awards under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component and 2021 OPP Relative Component will be calculated separately and will each be subject to an aggregate $30,000,000 maximum award cap for all participants. The two components will be added together to determine the aggregate award size, which shall also be subject to the aggregate $30,000,000 maximum award cap for all participants. In the event awards are earned under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component, but Vornado underperforms the Index by more than 200 basis points per annum over the Performance Period (800 basis points over the four years), the amount earned under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component will be reduced based on the degree by which the Index exceeds Vornado’s TSR with the maximum payout being 50% under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component. In the event awards are earned under the 2021 OPP Relative Component, but Vornado fails to achieve a TSR of at least 2% per annum, awards earned under the 2021 OPP Relative Component will be reduced on a ratable sliding scale based on Vornado’s absolute TSR performance, with the maximum payout being 50% under the 2021 OPP Relative Component in the event Vornado’s TSR during the four-year measurement period is 0% or negative. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under 2021 OPP will vest 50% in year four and 50% in year five. In addition, all of Vornado’s senior executives are required to hold any earned and vested awards for one year following each such vesting date. Dividends on awards granted under the 2021 OPP accrue during the four-year performance period and are paid to participants if awards are ultimately earned based on the achievement of the designated performance objectives.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Insurance For our properties (except Farley), we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which $235,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and we maintain all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake and effective February 15, 2021, excluding communicable disease coverage. For the period February 15, 2020 through February 14, 2021, we and the insurance carriers for our all risk property policy have disagreements as to the applicability of a $2,300,000 sub-limit for communicable disease coverage across our properties. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $350,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for certified terrorism acts with limits of $6.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate (as listed below), $1.2 billion for non-certified acts of terrorism, and $5.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027. Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third-party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,759,257 and 20% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC. For Farley, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $100,000,000 per occurrence, and builder’s risk insurance including coverage for existing property and development activities of $2.8 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. We maintain coverage for certified and non-certified terrorism acts with limits of $1.85 billion and $1.17 billion per occurrence, respectively, and in the aggregate . We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism and other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material . Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio. Other Commitments and Contingencies We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us. In July 2018, we leased 78,000 square feet at 345 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, CA, to a subsidiary of Regus PLC, for an initial term of 15 years. The obligations under the lease were guaranteed by Regus PLC in an amount of up to $90,000,000. The tenant purported to terminate the lease prior to space delivery. We commenced a suit on October 23, 2019 seeking to enforce the lease and the guaranty. In December 2020, following a trial, the court issued a tentative ruling in our favor and on April 7, 2021 the court issued a written proposed statement of decision and proposed judgement in our favor. On October 9, 2020, the successor to Regus PLC filed for bankruptcy in Luxembourg. We are actively pursuing claims relating to the guaranty against the successor to Regus PLC and its parent, in Luxembourg and other jurisdictions. 18. Commitments and Contingencies - continued Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation ("EDC") to lease Piers 92 and 94 (the "Piers") for a 49-year term with five 10-year renewal options. The non-recourse lease with a single-purpose entity calls for current annual rent payments of $2,000,000 with fixed rent steps through the initial term. We operate trade shows and special events at the Piers (and sublease to others for the same uses). In February 2019, an inspection revealed that the piles supporting Pier 92 were structurally unsound (an obligation of EDC to maintain) and we were issued an order by EDC to vacate the property. We continued to make the required lease payments through February 2020, with no abatement provided by EDC for the loss of our right to use Pier 92 or reimbursement for lost revenues. Beginning March 2020, as no resolution had been reached with EDC, we have not paid the monthly rents due under the non-recourse lease. As of March 31, 2021, we have a $48,036,000 lease liability and a $34,400,000 right-of-use asset recorded for this lease. Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. In certain cases, we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of underlying loans. In addition, we have guaranteed the rent and payments in lieu of real estate taxes due to Empire State Development, an entity of New York State, for Farley Office and Retail. As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,724,000,000. As of March 31, 2021, $13,549,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal. Our 95% consolidated joint venture (5% is owned by Related Companies ("Related")) is developing Farley Office and Retail. In connection with the development of the property, the joint venture took in a historic Tax Credit Investor. Under the terms of the historic tax credit arrangement, the joint venture is required to comply with various laws, regulations, and contractual provisions. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, may require a refund or reduction of the Tax Credit Investor’s capital contributions. As of March 31, 2021, the Tax Credit Investor has made $92,400,000 in capital contributions. Vornado and Related have guaranteed certain of the joint venture’s obligations to the Tax Credit Investor. As investment manager of the Fund we are entitled to an incentive allocation after the limited partners have received a preferred return on their invested capital. The incentive allocation is subject to catch-up and clawback provisions. Accordingly, based on the March 31, 2021 fair value of the Fund assets, at liquidation we would be required to make a $29,400,000 payment to the limited partners, net of amounts owed to us, representing a clawback of previously paid incentive allocations, which would have no income statement impact as it was previously accrued. As of March 31, 2021, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $10,700,000. As of March 31, 2021, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $441,000,000.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information We operate in two reportable segments, New York and Other, which is based on how we manage our business. Net operating income ("NOI") at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. NOI at share - cash basis represents NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments. We consider NOI at share - cash basis to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI at share - cash basis, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. NOI at share - cash basis includes rent that has been deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 19.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated and all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC. We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. In addition, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature	Recently Issued Accounting Literature In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update ("ASU 2020-04") establishing Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform . ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. In August 2020, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2020-06") Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate Fund Investments	The Fund is accounted for under ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests	Redeemable noncontrolling partnership units are primarily comprised of Class A Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Redeemable noncontrolling partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity
Fair Value Measurement	ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.
Stock-based Compensation	We account for all equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation . Stock-based compensation expense, a component of "general and administrative" expense on our consolidated statements of income, was $21,225,000 and $25,765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Earnings are allocated to participating securities, which include Vornado restricted stock awards, OP Units and OPPs, based on the two-class method. Other potential dilutive unit equivalents such as Vornado stock options, AO LTIP Units and Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units are included in the computation of diluted income per unit ("EPU") using the treasury stock method, while the dilutive effect of our Series A convertible preferred units is reflected in diluted EPU by application of the if-converted method.
