VORNADO REALTY TRUST

Vornado is a fully‑integrated REIT and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders are dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of and owned approximately 91.4% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024.

We currently own all or portions of:

New York:

•56 Manhattan operating properties consisting of:

•20.1 million square feet of office space in 30 of the properties;

•2.4 million square feet of street retail space in 49 of the properties;

OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY

Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and to execute our operating strategies through:

•maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;

•investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation;

•acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;

•developing and redeveloping properties to increase returns and maximize value; and

•investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component.

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds and proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets. We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these securities in the future.

DEVELOPMENT / REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

PENN District

PENN 2

We are redeveloping PENN 2, a 1,795,000 square foot (as expanded) office building, located on the west side of Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Street. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $750,000,000, of which $697,451,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2024.

We are also making districtwide improvements within the PENN District. The development cost of these improvements is estimated to be $100,000,000, of which $70,919,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2024.

Sunset Pier 94 Studios

On August 28, 2023, we, together with Hudson Pacific Properties and Blackstone Inc., formed a joint venture (“Pier 94 JV”) to develop a 266,000 square foot purpose-built studio campus in Manhattan. We own a 49.9% equity interest in the joint venture. The development cost of the project is estimated to be $350,000,000, which will be funded with $183,200,000 of construction financing ($29,782,000 drawn as of December 31, 2024) and $166,800,000 of equity contributions. Our share of equity contributions was funded by (i) our $40,000,000 Pier 94 leasehold interest contribution and (ii) $34,000,000 of cash contributions, which are net of an estimated $9,000,000 for our share of development fees and reimbursement for overhead costs incurred by us. As of December 31, 2024, we have fully funded our share of equity and cash contributions.

350 Park Avenue

On January 24, 2023, we and the Rudin family (“Rudin”) completed agreements with Citadel Enterprise Americas LLC (“Citadel”) and with an affiliate of Kenneth C. Griffin, Citadel’s Founder and CEO (“KG”), for a series of transactions relating to 350 Park Avenue and 40 East 52nd Street. In connection therewith, we entered into a joint venture with Rudin (the “Vornado/Rudin JV”) that purchased 39 East 51st Street for $40,000,000, funded on a 50/50 basis by Vornado and Rudin. 39 East 51st Street will be combined with 350 Park Avenue and 40 East 52nd Street to create a premier development site (the “350 Park Site”). From October 2024 to June 2030, an affiliate of KG has the option to either (i) acquire a 60% interest in a joint venture with the Vornado/Rudin JV (with Vornado having an effective 36% interest in the entity) to build a new 1,700,000 square foot office tower, valuing the 350 Park Site at $1.2 billion or (ii) purchase the 350 Park Site for $1.4 billion ($1.085 billion to Vornado). From October 2024 to September 2030, the Vornado/Rudin JV has the option to put the 350 Park Site to KG for $1.2 billion ($900,000,000 to Vornado).

We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan including, in particular, the PENN District.

There can be no assurance that the above projects will be completed, completed on schedule or within budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

We have long believed a focus on environmental sustainability is responsible management of our business and important to our tenants, investors, employees and communities that we serve. It has been central to Vornado's business strategy for over 15 years. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of Vornado's Board of Trustees is assigned with oversight of sustainability matters, which includes climate change risk. Environmental sustainability initiatives are carried out by a dedicated team of professionals that work directly with our business units.

Vornado is an industry leader in sustainability, owning and operating more than 26 million square feet of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified buildings, representing 100% of our certifiable office portfolio, with over 24 million square feet at LEED Gold or Platinum. In 2024, we:

•became the first major U.S. real estate owner and operator to achieve 100% LEED certification across our entire portfolio of certifiable buildings;

•received GRESB's five star rating and an assessment score of 92, placing us in the top 3% within Americas/Listed, and the “Green Star” distinction for the twelfth consecutive year;

•received the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) inaugural “The Impact at Scale Award,” for implementing operational initiatives in the PENN district that advance corporate sustainability and deliver measurable impact; and

•were recognized as an EPA ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year with the distinction of having demonstrated nine years of sustained excellence.

We prioritize addressing climate change and in 2019 adopted a 10-year plan to make our buildings carbon neutral by 2030 (“Vision 2030”). Vision 2030 is a multi-faceted approach that prioritizes energy reduction, recovery, and renewable power. We rely on technology, as well as meaningful stakeholder collaboration with our tenants, our employees, and our communities, to achieve this plan. Our commitment to carbon neutrality and associated emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative as consistent with a 1.5°C climate scenario limit, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

We consider sustainability in all aspects of our business, including the design, construction, retrofitting and ongoing maintenance and operations of our portfolio of buildings. We operate our buildings sustainably and efficiently by seeking to establish best practices in energy and water consumption, carbon reduction, resource and waste management and ecologically sensitive procurement. Our policies, from 100% green cleaning to procuring 100% renewable electricity certificates to energy efficiency, are implemented across our entire portfolio. We undertake significant outreach with our tenants, employees and investors regarding Vornado’s sustainability programs and strategies.

We gather data to measure progress against our goals, align our goals with our tenants, plan for our longer-term projects and engage with our stakeholders in meaningful ways. We use carbon accounting software, energy audits and models and building automation software to measure and track our portfolio-wide waste, water and energy reduction strategies, create roadmaps for each building to understand how to achieve carbon neutrality and provide accurate and actionable data for our measurement, verification and reporting requirements.

We are committed to transparent reporting of sustainability performance indicators and publish an annual Sustainability Report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative and aligned with the metrics codified by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. We also submit public reports to CDP, CSA (the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment) and EP100 (global initiative led by Climate Group). Further details on our environmental sustainability initiatives and strategy, including our Vision 2030 Roadmap, can be found in our 2023 Sustainability Report at (vno.com/sustainability). There can be no assurance that our Vision 2030 commitment will be achieved in the planned time frame. The Sustainability Report is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT - CONTINUED

Talent Development

To foster talent and growth, we provide training and continuing education, promote career and personal development, and encourage innovation and engagement. To achieve our talent development goals, we provide tuition reimbursement for our employees’ continuing education and professional development, and the opportunity to participate in a variety of training and networking engagements.

Culture and Engagement

Our employees are critical to our success, and we believe creating a positive and inclusive culture is essential to attracting and retaining engaged employees. We seek to retain our employees by actively engaging with our workforce and we solicit their feedback through our divisional leaders and employee surveys. We use their feedback to create and continually enhance programs that support their needs.

Through our volunteer program, Vornado Volunteers, employees are granted one day of paid time off per calendar year to volunteer for a cause of their choice.

Health and Wellness

As a building owner and landlord to thousands of business tenants, we focus on maintaining and improving the health of our indoor environments, as well as communicating the value of our health and wellness programs with consistency and clarity to our stakeholders. We believe that consistent health programming and communications protocols not only mitigate health risks within our buildings, but they also create a responsible behavior framework for our employees, our tenants, and our visitors.

Labor Relations

BMS employs and manages janitorial and security staff who are members of 32BJ SEIU and engineering staff who are members of Local 94 of the International Union of Operating Engineers AFL-CIO. Through our active participation in the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, we work collaboratively with both unions and consider our relations with our union employees to be very positive.

COMPETITION

We compete with a large number of real estate investors, property owners and developers, some of whom may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, tenant concessions offered, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A for additional information regarding these factors.

CERTAIN ACTIVITIES

We have historically held our properties for long‑term investment; however, it is possible that properties in our portfolio may be sold or otherwise disposed of when circumstances warrant. Further, we have not adopted a policy that limits the amount or percentage of assets which could be invested in a specific property or property type. Generally our activities are reviewed and may be modified from time to time by Vornado’s Board of Trustees without the vote of our shareholders or Operating Partnership unitholders.
