Vornado is the sole general partner of and owned approximately 91.4% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2025. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean, collectively, Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
- 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 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 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, 2024, 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, 2025 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.

- Investments in Partially Owned Entities
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
As of March 31, 2025, 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.
As of March 31, 2025, we owned $1.486 billion aggregate liquidation preference of preferred equity interests in certain of the properties, which had been reduced from $1.828 billion as of December 31, 2024, following the January 8, 2025, $342,000,000 partial redemption discussed below. The preferred equity has an annual coupon of 4.75% through April 2029 and will then be based on a formulaic rate. It can be redeemed under certain conditions on a tax deferred basis. The preferred equity interests balance was further reduced to $1.079 billion in April 2025 upon the financing of 1535 Broadway, see Note 19 –Subsequent Events for further details.
On January 8, 2025, the Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV completed the sale to UNIQLO of the portion of its U.S. flagship store at 666 Fifth Avenue owned by the joint venture for $350,000,000 and realized net proceeds of $342,000,000. The net proceeds were used to partially redeem Vornado’s preferred equity on the asset. The joint venture continues to own 23,832 square feet of retail space (7,416 square feet at grade) at 666 Fifth Avenue consisting of the Abercrombie & Fitch and Tissot stores. We recognized a financial statement gain of $76,162,000, which is included in “income from partially owned entities” on our consolidated statements of income.
As of March 31, 2025, 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 $722,891,000, the basis difference primarily resulting from non-cash impairment losses recognized in prior periods. 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.
Alexander's, Inc. ("Alexander's") (NYSE: ALX)
As of March 31, 2025, 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. In addition, wholly owned subsidiaries of Vornado provide cleaning, engineering, security, and garage management services to certain Alexander’s properties.
As of March 31, 2025, 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, 2025 closing share price of $209.16, was $345,965,000, or $281,288,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025, 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 $29,247,000. 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. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income.

- 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. Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on aone-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value ofone Vornado common share, and a distribution made to a Class A unitholder is equal to the dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder.
Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable noncontrolling partnership units.
| (Amounts in thousands) | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Beginning balance | $711,943 | $483,786 |
| Net income (loss) | 7,889 | (786) |
| Other comprehensive (loss) income | (2,777) | 3,682 |
| Distributions | (493) | (28) |
| Redemption of Class A units for Vornado common shares, at redemption value | (45,151) | (2,489) |
| Redeemable Class A unit measurement adjustment | (54,535) | 4,375 |
| Other, net | 6,065 | 7,427 |
| Ending balance | $622,941 | $495,967 |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units of the Operating Partnership, which are those units held by third parties, was $619,406,000 and $708,408,000, 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. Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $49,589,000 and $49,684,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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
A consolidated joint venture, in which we hold a 95% interest, developed and owns the Farley Building (the "Farley Project"). As of March 31, 2025, a historic tax credit investor (the "Tax Credit Investor") has funded $208,407,000 of capital contributions to the Farley Project in connection with the development.
The arrangement includes a put option whereby the joint venture may be obligated to purchase the Tax Credit Investor’s ownership interest in the Farley 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. 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, 2025 and 2024.
Below is a table summarizing the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary.

Share Repurchase Program
In April 2023, our Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase plan under which Vornado is authorized to repurchase up to $200,000,000 of its outstanding common shares. To the extent Vornado repurchases any of its common shares, in order to fund the common share repurchase and maintain theone-to-one ratio of the number of Vornado common shares outstanding and the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the Operating Partnership will repurchase from Vornado an equal number of its Class A units at the same price.
Share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or through other means as permitted by federal securities laws, including through block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions and/or trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in Vornado’s discretion depending on business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing prices for Vornado’s common shares, alternative uses for capital and other considerations. The plan does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate Vornado to make any repurchases of its common shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no shares were repurchased. In total, Vornado has repurchased 2,024,495 common shares at an average price per share of $14.40. The Operating Partnership repurchased Class A units from Vornado equivalent to the number and price of common shares repurchased by Vornado. As of March 31, 2025, $170,857,000 remained available and authorized for repurchases.
- Stock-based Compensation
Vornado’s 2023 Omnibus Share Plan provides the Compensation Committee of Vornado’s Board of Trustees the ability to grant incentive and non-qualified Vornado stock options, restricted Vornado common shares, restricted Operating Partnership units (“LTIP Units”), out-performance plan awards (“OPP Units”), appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units (“AO LTIP Units”), performance conditioned appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units (“Performance AO LTIP Units”), and long-term performance plan units (“LTPP Units”) to certain of our employees and officers.
Below is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense, a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statements of income.

- Income (Loss) Per Share and Per Class A Unit
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing (i) net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders after allocation of dividends and undistributed earnings to participating securities by (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive impact of potential common shares and is computed after allocation of earnings to participating securities. Vornado’s participating securities include unvested restricted common shares. Employee stock options, OPP Units, AO LTIP Units, Performance AO LTIP Units and LTPP Units are included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share using the treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive. Series A convertible preferred shares, Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units, and Series D-13 redeemable preferred units are included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share using the if-converted method, if the effect is dilutive. Net income (loss) is allocated to redeemable Class A units of the Operating Partnership on aone-for-one basis with Vornado common shares. As such, redemption of these units for Vornado common shares would not have a dilutive effect on income (loss) per common share.

- Income (Loss) Per Share and Per Class A Unit - continued
Basic net income (loss) per Class A unit is computed by dividing (i) net income (loss) attributable to Class A unitholders after allocation of distributions and undistributed earnings to participating securities by (ii) the weighted average number of Class A units outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per unit reflects the dilutive impact of potential Class A units and is computed after allocation of earnings to participating securities. Vornado Realty L.P.’s participating securities include unvested LTIP Units and LTPP Units for which the applicable performance vesting conditions were satisfied. Equity awards subject to market and/or performance vesting conditions, including Vornado stock options, OPP Units, AO LTIP Units, Performance AO LTIP Units and LTPP Units, are included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per Class A unit using the treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive.

- Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
Unconsolidated VIEs
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 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 primarily account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 5 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $263,988,000 and $261,443,000, respectively, of the carrying amount of assets related to our unconsolidated VIEs was included in “investments in partially owned entities” on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $54,708,000 and $52,530,000, respectively was included in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss from our unconsolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $321,696,000 and $316,973,000, respectively.
Consolidated VIEs
Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the Operating Partnership (for Vornado), the Farley Project and certain properties that have noncontrolling interests. These entities are VIEs because the noncontrolling 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, 2025, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,807,906,000 and $2,751,906,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,804,481,000 and $2,738,539,000, respectively.
- 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 as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in secondary markets; 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) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets), (ii) loans receivable (for which we have elected the fair value option under ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments("ASC 825-10")), (iii) interest rate swaps and caps and (iv) 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.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis - continued
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets
Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties. We receive quarterly financial reports that provide net asset values on a fair value basis from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund. 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.
The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3.
| (Amounts in thousands) | For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $44,555 |

The terminal capitalization rate and discount rate disclosed reflect both the range and the weighted average. The fair value for the remaining balance at March 31, 2025 was based on comparable sales data.

Derivatives and Hedging
We use derivative instruments principally to reduce our exposure to interest rate increases. We do not enter into or hold derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. We recognize the fair values of all derivatives in "other assets" or "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of our cash flow hedges are 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 hedging instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Cash payments and receipts related to our interest rate hedges are classified as operating activities and included within our disclosure of cash paid for interest on our consolidated statements of cash flows, consistent with the classification of the hedged interest payments.
The following table summarizes our consolidated hedging instruments, all of which hedge variable rate debt, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
There were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
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. The fair values of these instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses 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. The fair value of cash equivalents and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our secured debt and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
For our properties, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which $275,000,000 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, excluding communicable disease coverage. 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 $2,396,808 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.
Certain condominiums in which we own an interest (including the Farley Condominiums) maintain insurance policies with different per occurrence and aggregate limits than our policies described above.
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 January 2022, we exercised the second ofthree 25-year renewal options on our PENN 1 ground lease. The first renewal option period commenced June 2023 and, together with the second option exercise, extends the lease term through June 2073. The ground lease is subject to fair market value resets at each 25-year renewal period. On April 22, 2025, an arbitration panel (the “Panel”) appointed to determine the ground rent payable for the 25-year period beginning June 17, 2023 determined that the annual rent payable will be $15,000,000.
Further, litigation is currently pending between the parties in New York County Supreme Court relating to the matter. To date, the court denied our motion to dismiss the action and we have filed a notice of appeal. The Panel’s decision provides that if the fee owner prevails in a final judgment in the litigation, the annual rent for the 25-year term will be $20,220,000, retroactive to June 17, 2023.
We may, from time to time, enter into guarantees including, but not limited to, payment guarantees to lenders of unconsolidated joint ventures for tax purposes, completion guarantees for development and redevelopment projects, and guarantees to fund leasing costs. These agreements terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified obligations or repayment of the underlying loans. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees is approximately $517,346,000, including the payment guarantee for the mortgage loan secured by 7 West 34th Street and partial payment guarantees on 435 Seventh Avenue and 150 West 34th Street. Other than these loans, our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.
- Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued
As of March 31, 2025, $50,141,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under 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 the credit rating assigned to our senior unsecured notes. 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")) developed and owns the Farley Building. In connection with the development of the property, the joint venture admitted a historic tax credit investor partner. 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, 2025, the Tax Credit Investor has made $208,407,000 in capital contributions. Vornado and Related have guaranteed certain of the joint venture’s obligations to the Tax Credit Investor.
As of March 31, 2025, we had construction commitments aggregating approximately $49,176,000.
- Segment Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on our method of internal reporting which classifies our operations by geographic area. We aggregate these operating segments intotwo reportable segments, New York and Other, which is based on similar economic characteristics.
Net operating income ("NOI") at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer, who considers NOI at share to be the measure of segment profit and loss for making decisions on how to allocate resources and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity.

- Subsequent Events
1535 Broadway (Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV)
On April 14, 2025, the Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV completed a $450,000,000 financing of 1535 Broadway. The interest-only non-recourse loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.90% and matures in May 2030. After transaction costs and reserves, $407,000,000 of the net proceeds from the financing were used to partially redeem Vornado’s Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV preferred equity. In connection with the financing, the annual coupon for the remaining preferred equity interest in 1535 Broadway was increased to 5.75% from 4.75% through the maturity of the new loan and then will be based on a formulaic rate.
PENN 1 Ground Rent Reset Determination
On April 22, 2025, the Panel appointed to determine the ground rent payable for the PENN 1 land parcel for the 25-year period beginning June 17, 2023 determined that the annual rent payable will be $15,000,000.
Further, litigation is currently pending between the parties in New York County Supreme Court relating to the matter. To date, the court denied our motion to dismiss the action and we have filed a notice of appeal. The Panel’s decision provides that if the fee owner prevails in a final judgment in the litigation, the annual rent for the 25-year term will be $20,220,000, retroactive to June 17, 2023.
We were accruing $26,205,000 per annum of ground rent based on a previous estimate and therefore, in connection with the Panel’s determination, we reversed $17,240,000 of previously accrued rent expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, commencing in the first quarter of 2025, we are now paying based on the $15,000,000 annual rent.
770 Broadway
On May 5, 2025, we completed a master lease with New York University (“NYU”) to lease 1,076,000 square feet at 770 Broadway, on an “as is”, triple net basis for a 70-year lease term. Under the terms of the master lease, a rental agreement under Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code, NYU made a prepaid lease payment of $935,000,000, and will also make annual lease payments of approximately $9,300,000 during the lease term. NYU has an option to purchase the leased premises in both 2055 and at the end of the lease term in 2095. NYU will assume the existing office leases and related tenant income at the property.
We used a portion of the prepaid lease payment to repay the $700,000,000 mortgage loan which previously encumbered the property.
In connection with the transaction, pursuant to GAAP, we will recognize an approximate $800,000,000 financial statement gain in the second quarter of 2025.
Vornado will retain the 92,000 square feet retail condominium leased to Wegmans.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 10, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
