             Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)
                              September 30, 1997

1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation - SL Green Realty Corp.

Formation and Initial Public Offering

  SL  Green Realty  Corp. (the  "Company"), a  Maryland  corporation, and  SL
Green Operating Partnership, L.P., (the "Operating Partnership"), were formed
in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business
of S.L. Green  Properties, Inc. and its affiliated  partnerships and entities
("SL Green").  The Operating  Partnership received a contribution of interest
in the real estate properties as well  as 95% of the economic interest in the
management, leasing and construction companies (the "Service  Corporations").
The Company  qualifies as a real  estate investment trust  ("REIT") under the
Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended;  and  operates  as  a  fully
integrated, self-administered, self-managed  REIT.  A REIT is  a legal entity
that  holds real  estate  interests  and, through  payments  of dividends  to
shareholders, is  permitted to reduce or avoid  the payment of federal income
taxes at the corporate level.

  The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of  200 million shares
of capital stock,  $.01 par value,  of which the  Company has authorized  the
issuance of up  to 100  million shares of  Common Stock,  $.01 par value  per
share, 75 million shares of Excess Stock, at $.01 par value per share, and 25
million shares of  Preferred Stock, par value  $.01 per share. On  August 20,
1997, the Company issued  11.62 million shares of its Common Stock (including
the underwriters' over-allotment option of 1.52 million shares) to the public
through  a   public  offering  (the  "Offering").     Concurrently  with  the
consummation of the Offering, the  Company issued 38,095 shares of restricted
common stock pursuant to  stock loans and 85,600 shares  of restricted common
stock to a financial advisor.  In  addition, the Company previously issued to
its executive officers approximately 553,616 shares, as founders' shares.  As
of September  30, 1997,  no shares  of Excess  Stock or  Preferred Stock  are
issued and outstanding.

  Concurrently with  the consummation of  the Offering,  the Company and  the
Operating  Partnership,  together  with  the  partners  and  members  of  the
affiliated partnerships of  the SL Green Predecessor and  other parties which
held  ownership interests  in  the properties  contributed  to the  Operating
Partnership (collectively, the "Participants"),  engaged in certain Formation
Transactions (the "Formation Transactions").

  The net  cash proceeds  received by  the Company from  the Offering  (after
deducting underwriting discounts)  was $228.7 million.   The Company utilized
approximately  $42.6  million  of  the Offering  proceeds  to  repay mortgage
indebtedness   encumbering  the  properties,   including  $1.5   million  for
prepayment penalties  and other  financing fees  and expenses,  approximately
$6.6  million  to  purchase  the  direct or  indirect  interests  of  certain
participants  in the  properties,  approximately  $95.5  million  to  acquire
properties approximately $3.4 million to pay certain expenses incurred in the
Formation Transactions,  $35.6 million to  repay a loan from  Lehman Brothers
Holdings, Inc.  ("LBHI"), $1.8 million  to fund the  advisory fee payment  to
Lehman Brothers, Inc. and $41.7 million to fund capital expenditures, general
working capital needs and future acquisitions (See note 2).

  Substantially all  of the Company's assets  are held by, and its operations
conducted through, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership.
The  Company  is   the  sole  managing  general  partner   of  the  Operating
Partnership.   Continuing investors hold,  in the aggregate, a  16.2% limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

Principles of Combination - SL Green Predecessor

  The SL Green Predecessor  is not a legal entity but rather a combination of
real  estate properties and  affiliated real estate  management, construction
and leasing entities under common control and management of Stephen L. Green;
and interests owned and managed by Stephen L. Green in entities accounted for
on the equity  method (see below)  that are organized  as partnerships and  a
limited liability company.  The  entities included in this unaudited combined
financial statement  have been combined for  only the periods  that they were
under   common  control  and   management.    All   significant  intercompany
transactions  and balances  have  been eliminated  in  combination.   Capital
contributions,   distributions  and  profits  and  losses  are  allocated  in
accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements.

  The  accompanying  combined financial  statements include  partnerships and
corporations which were under common control as follows:

  On June 30,  1997, the majority owner of SL Green Predecessor purchased the
remaining 90% interest in Praedium Bar Associated LLC ("Praedium"), which was
funded by a loan from LBHI, which as of that date is included in the combined
financial statements.  Prior to that date, the purchase of the  10% ownership
interest in Praedium was accounted for under the equity method.

  For the entities accounted for on the equity method, the SL Green
Predecessor records its investments in partnerships and limited liability
company at cost and adjusts the investment accounts for its share of the
entities' income or loss and for cash distributions and contributions. 

Condensed Statement of Operations for the Uncombined Joint Ventures is as

Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying unaudited  condensed consolidated  and combined  financial
statements  have  been   prepared  in  accordance  with   generally  accepted
accounting   principles  for  interim  financial  information  and  with  the
instructions  to Form 10-Q  and Article 10  of Regulation S-X.   Accordingly,
they do not  include all of the  information and notes required  by generally
accepted accounting principles  for complete  financial statements.   In  the
opinion  of management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring
accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.  The
1997 operating results for the combined periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may  be expected for the year ending  December
31, 1997.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction  with the
financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes  included  in  the  Company's
registration statement on Form S-11 dated August 14, 1997.

Management

  In order to maintain the Company's qualification  as a REIT while realizing
income from management leasing and construction contracts from third parties,
all  of the management  operations with  respect to  properties in  which the
Company will  not own 100% of the interest  are conducted through the Service
Corporations.  The  Company, through the Operating Partnership,  owns 100% of
the non-voting  common stock  (representing 95% of  the total equity)  of the
Service  Corporations.    Through  dividends  on  its  equity  interest,  the
Operating Partnership  receives substantially all  of the cash flow  from the
Service Corporations'  operations.  All  of the  voting common  stock of  the
Service Corporations  (representing 5% of the total equity)  is held by an SL
Green affiliate.   This controlling interest gives the SL Green affiliate the
power  to elect  all  directors of  the  Service Corporations.    All of  the
management  and  leasing  with  respect  to  the properties  contributed  and
acquired by  the  Company is  conducted  through  the Management  LLC.    The
Operating Partnership owns 100% interest in the Management LLC.   The Company
accounts for its investment  in the Service Corporations on  the equity basis
of accounting on the basis that it  has significant influence with respect to
management and operations.

Partnership Agreement

  In accordance  with the partnership  agreement of the Operating Partnership
(the "Operating Partnership Agreement"), all allocations of distributions and
profits  and  losses are  made  in  proportion  to the  percentage  ownership
interests of their respective partners.   As the managing general partner  of
the Operating  Partnership, the Company  is required to take  such reasonable
efforts, as determined by it in  its sole discretion, to cause the  Operating
Partnership to  distribute  sufficient  amounts  to  enable  the  payment  of
sufficient dividends by the Company to avoid any federal income or excise tax
at the Company level as a consequence of a sale of SL Green property.

2.  Property Acquisition

  On September  15, 1997, the  Operating Partnership,  acquired the land  and
building at  110 East  42nd Street  for $30 million.   The  cash used  by the
Operating  Partnership in the  acquisition was from proceeds  of an LBHI loan
and the Offering.

3.  Temporary Loans

  The  Operating  Partnership  received  loans  totaling approximately  $69.5
million  from  LBHI.    These  loans  are  collateralized  by  the  mortgages
encumbering  the Operating  Partnership's  interests in  1140  Avenue of  the
Americas and 110 East  42nd Street.  The loans are  also collateralized by an
equivalent amount of the Company's cash which is held by LBHI and invested in
US Treasury securities.  Interest earned on the cash collateral is applied by
Lehman to service the loans which interest  rate is commensurate with that of
the portfolio of  US Treasury securities,  which mature on January  15, 1998.
The  Operating  Partnership  and LBHI  each  have  the  right of  offset  and
therefore the loans  and the cash collateral  have been presented net  in the
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1997.  The purpose of these loans
is  to  temporarily  preserve  mortgage  recording  tax  credits  for  future
potential  acquisitions of  real property  which  the Company  may make,  the
financing of which  may include property based debt,  for which these credits
would be applicable and provide a financial savings.

4.  Income Taxes

  No provision has been  made for income  taxes in the accompanying  combined
financial  statements of SL Green  Predecessor since such  taxes, if any, are
the responsibility of the individual partners.

5.  Net Income Per Common Share

  Net income  per common share  is computed  in accordance with  the treasury
stock method and is based on the weighted average number of common shares and
common stock  equivalent shares  outstanding during the  period.   The common
stock  equivalent shares  represent options  outstanding.   To arrive  at the
fully  diluted  share  value,  the   common  stock  equivalents  resulted  in
increasing the number of shares outstanding by approximately 125,000 shares.

  In  February  1997,  the  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board   issued
Statement No. 128,  Earnings per Share, which  is required to be  adopted for
fiscal years ending after December  15, 1997.  At that time  the Company will
be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share
and to  restate all prior periods.  Management  does not believe the adoption
of Statement No. 128 will have a material impact on earnings per share.

6.  Commitments and Contingencies

  The Company  and the Operating  Partnership are  not presently involved  in
any material litigation  nor, to their knowledge, is  any material litigation
threatened against them  or their properties,  other than routine  litigation
arising in the  ordinary course of business.  Management  believes the costs,
if any, incurred by the Company and the Operating Partnership related to this
litigation  will  not  materially affect  the  financial  position, operating
results or liquidity of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

  The Operating Partnership became  the contract vendee  to acquire ownership
of certain interests in the property known as 17 Battery  North.  The Company
has  a $3.6 million  deposit associated with  the expected  acquisition of 17
Battery North.

7.  Related Party Transactions

  There  are  business  relationships  with  related  parties  which  involve
maintenance  expenses in  the ordinary  course  of business.   The  Company's
transactions with the parties amounted to $34,000 for the period August 21 to
September 30,  1997.   SL Green Predecessor's  transactions with  the parties
amounted to $62,000 and $81,000 for the periods July 1 to August 20, 1997 and
July 1 to September 30, 1996, respectively  and $255,000 and $214,000 for the
periods January 1  to August 20, 1997  and January 1  to September 30,  1996,
respectively.

8.  Extraordinary Items

  Forgiveness  of  mortgage  debt   totaling  $22,087,000  (net  of  minority
interest  of  $11,332,000)  is   reflected  in  the  accompanying  SL   Green
Predecessor financial statements as an extraordinary gain.

  Prepayment penalties of  $1,071,000 (net of  minority interest of $207,000)
and unamortized  deferred charges  of $803,000 (net  of minority  interest of
$155,000)  related  to  mortgages  paid  in  connection  with  the  Formation
Transactions were  expensed  and are  reflected  in the  Company's  financial
statements as an extraordinary loss.

9.  Subsequent Event
   
  On  November 5,  1997, the  Board of  Directors of  the Company  declared a
$0.16 per  share distribution to stockholders of record on November 17, 1997.
The  distribution,  together  with  the  distribution  with  respect  to  the
outstanding units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, totals
$2.35 million and is payable on November 19, 1997.
    

ITEM 2.   Management's  Discussion and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition and
          Results of Operations

Overview

  This report includes certain statements that may be deemed to  be "forward-
looking  statements" within the meaning of  Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933,  as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as  amended.   All statements,  other  than statements  of historical  facts,
included in this report that  address activities, events or developments that
the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future,
including   such  matters  as  future  capital  expenditures,  dividends  and
acquisitions (including the amount and  nature thereof), expansion and  other
development   trends  of  the  real  estate  industry,  business  strategies,
expansion and growth of the Company's  operations and other such matters  are
forward-looking   statements.    These   statements  are  based   on  certain
assumptions and analyses made  by the Company in light of  its experience and
its  perception of  historical trends,  current  conditions, expected  future
developments and other factors it  believes are appropriate.  Such statements
are  subject to  a number  of assumptions,  risks and  uncertainties, general
economic  and business  conditions, the  business opportunities  that may  be
presented to  and pursued by the Company, changes  in laws or regulations and
other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.  Any such
statements are  not guarantees  of future performance  and actual  results or
developments may  differ materially  from those  anticipated in  the forward-
looking statements.

  The following discussion related to  the consolidated financial  statements
of the Company and the combined financial statements of  SL Green Predecessor
should  be  read  in  conjunction with  the  financial  statements  appearing
elsewhere  in this  report and  the  financial statements  and related  notes
thereto included in  the Company's registration statement on  Form S-11 dated
August 14, 1997.  In connection  with the Formation Transactions as described
in Note  1 to the financial statements there  were significant changes in the
financial  condition and  results  of  operations of  the  Company which  are
outlined  below, consequently,  the  comparison  of  the  historical  periods
provides  only limited information  regarding the operations  of the Company.
Therefore, in addition to the historical comparison, the Company has provided
a comparison of the results of operations on a pro forma basis.

Financial Condition

  Commercial real  estate  properties  increased approximately  $225  million
from December 31, 1997  to September 30, 1996 as a result  of the purchase of
the remaining  partnership interests in  the uncombined  joint ventures  that
were previously accounted for under the equity method and the  acquisition of
four  buildings  one  of  which  was acquired  subsequent  to  the  Formation
Transactions.    The  acquisitions  were  funded from  the  proceeds  of  the
Offering.

  Cash  increased $14.9 million from December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.
The increase  represents the remaining  proceeds from the Offering  after the
funding of the  Formation Transactions.  As  a result of the  purchase of the
remaining  partnership interests in  the uncombined joint  ventures, deferred
rent  receivable, capital lease  obligations and deferred  land lease payable
increased  $9.7 million,  $14.4 million  and $8.2  million  respectively from
December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.

Results of Operations

  Comparison  of the nine months ended September 30, 1997  to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.  For discussion purposes, the results of operations
from the nine months ended September 30, 1997 combined  the operating results
of SL Green Predecessor for the period January 1, 1997 to August 20, 1997 and
the  operating results  of the  Company  for the  period August  21,  1997 to
September 30, 1997.   The  results of  operations for the  nine months  ended
September 30,  1996 represent solely  the operating  results of the  SL Green
Predecessor.  

  Rent  revenue  and  escalation  and  reimbursement  revenue  increased $6.7
million and $1.1  million, respectively, for the nine  months ended September
30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The increases
are primarily attributable to the Formation Transactions.  In connection with
the Formation Transactions,  three buildings previously accounted  for on the
equity method are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company for
the period August 21,  1997 to September 30, 1997.   In addition, the results
of operations of  three of the acquisition  buildings and the results  of 110
East 42nd Street for  the period September 15, 1997 to September 30, 1997 are
included in the  consolidated financial statements for the  period August 21,
1997 to September 30, 1997.

  Leasing commission  increased  $2.4  million  for  the  nine  months  ended
September 30,  1997 compared to the nine months  ended September 30, 1996 due
to strong leasing activity in the current market.

  Equity in  net income of  uncombined joint  ventures totaled $21.1  million
for the  nine months ended  September 30,  1997 compared  to a  loss of  $1.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 due to the extraordinary
income  recorded  by  the  uncombined  joint ventures  as  a  result  of  the
forgiveness of mortgage debt in the amount of $22.1 million.

  Expenses increased  $5.1 million for  the nine  months ended September  30,
1997  compared  to  the nine  months  ended  September 30,  1996  due  to the
Formation  Transactions  and  the  acquisition  of 110  East  42nd  Street as
discussed above.

  Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 1997 to the three
months ended September 30, 1996.  For discussion purposes, the results of
operations from the three months ended September 30, 1997 combined the
operating results of SL Green Predecessor for the period July 1, 1997 to
August 20, 1997 and the operating results of the Company for the period
August 21, 1997 to September 30, 1997.  The results of operations for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 represent solely the operating results
of the  SL Green Predecessor.

  Rent revenue and escalation and reimbursement revenue increased $5.2
million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended September
30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The
increases are primarily attributable to the Formation Transactions.  In
connection with the Formation Transactions, three buildings previously
accounted for on the equity method are consolidated in the financial
statements of the Company for the period August 21, 1997 to September 30,
1997.  In addition, the results of operations of three of the acquisition
buildings are included in the financial statements for the period August 21,
1997 to September 30, 1997 and the results of 110 East 42nd Street for the
period September 15, 1997 to September 30, 1997 are included in the
consolidated financial statements of SL Green Realty Corp. and not in the
corresponding 1996 results of SL Green Predecessor.

  Leasing commission increased $0.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996 due
to strong leasing activity in the current market.

  Equity in net income of investees totaled $21.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to a loss of $0.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 due to the extraordinary income
recorded by the uncombined joint ventures as a result of forgiveness of
mortgage debt in the amount of $22.1 million.

  Expenses increased $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996 due to the
Formation Transactions and the acquisition of 110 East 42nd Street as
discussed above.

Pro Forma Results of Operations

  Comparison  of the nine months  ended September 30, 1997 to the nine months
ended September  30, 1996.   The Pro forma  statements of operations  for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, are presented as
if the Offering and  the Formation Transactions  occurred on January 1,  1996
and the effect thereof was carried forward through September 30, 1997.

  The  pro forma results  of operations do not  purport to represent what the
Company's results  would have been  assuming the completion of  the Formation
Transactions and  the Offering at the beginning  of the period indicated, nor
do they purport to  project the Company's financial results  of operations at
any future  date or  for  any future  period.   The pro  forma statements  of
operations  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  combined  financial
statements of SL  Green Predecessor  included in  the Company's  registration
statement  on Form S-11 dated August  14, 1997 and the consolidated financial
statements of SL Green Realty Corp. included elsewhere herein.

  Rental  revenue increased  approximately $1,831,000  or 5.5%  for  the nine
months ended September  30, 1997 compared to the nine  months ended September
30, 1996.   Rental revenue increased $1,532,000 in  1997 compared to 1996 due
to 1414 Avenue of the Americas (the  "1996 Acquisition") acquired in mid 1996
being  included  for  the full  nine  months ended  September  30,  1997, and
$237,000 as  a result  of the  110 East  42nd Street  acquisition (the  "1997
Acquisition") in September of 1997.  Rental revenue from properties owned for
the same  periods in 1996  and 1997  increased approximately $63,000  for the
nine  months ended September  30, 1997 compared to  the prior year, primarily
representing  the  impact   of  frictional  vacancies  associated   with  the
retenanting or reletting downtime of office space between comparative periods
and overall increased tenant occupancy.

  Tenant  reimbursements decreased  $710,000 or  14.1%  for  the nine  months
ended September  30, 1997 compared  to the  nine months  ended September  30,
1996.  Tenant reimbursements from the properties included for all of 1996 and
1997  decreased approximately  $817,000  during  the period  as  a result  of
reduced  real estate  tax escalations  ($266,000)  due to  decreased assessed
values and changes in tenants base years  due to retenanting and renewals for
the  properties.   The  remaining  decrease  represents reduced  porter  wage
escalations  revenue as  a result  of retenanting  and tenant  renewals which
results in changes in  tenant base years and a loss  of reimbursement revenue
from expiring  leases.   The decrease  in reimbursements  was off  set by  an
increase of approximately $107,000 of reimbursement revenue for the full nine
months of 1997 provided by the 1996 Acquisition.

  Leasing commission  income increased  $1,225,000  or  119.4% for  the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1997 over  the prior years due  to a large tenant
rep assignment being  completed in  1997 and strong  leasing activity in  the
current market.

  Investment income  in the  amount  of $207,000  for the  nine months  ended
September 30,  1997 was  due to  temporary  investment of  proceeds from  the
Offering,  and  is reported  as the  same  amount for  the nine  months ended
September 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis.

  Other  income increased  approximately $1,506,000  or 885.9%  for  the nine
months ended September  30, 1997 compared to the  nine months ended September
30,  1996  due  primarily  to a  lease  buyout  by a  tenant  in  one  of the
acquisition properties.

  Operating expenses decreased approximately $194,000 or 2.1%.   For the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, total  operating expenses were approximately
$8,838,000, or 22.5% of revenues  from rental operations, compared with total
operating expenses  of approximately $9,032,000  or 23.7% in the  prior year.
Property  expenses from  the properties  included for  all of  1996 and  1997
decreased approximately $721,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared  to the  prior  year.   This  decrease  in total  property  expenses
resulted  from  a decrease  in third  party  management fees  for one  of the
acquisition properties, overall decreases  in utilities due primarily to  the
weather, reductions in payroll and cleaning costs due to an overall reduction
in department hours worked and decreased  repairs and maintenance due to work
performed in 1996 and not recurring in 1997.  The decrease in total operating
expenses   was  partially  offset  by  increases  associated  with  the  1996
Acquisition of approximately  $443,000, reflecting a full nine  months of the
property's  expenses  and property  expenses  from  the 1997  Acquisition  of
approximately $84,000.

  Interest expense decreased by  approximately $111,000 or 2.7% for the  nine
months ended September  30, 1997 compared to the  nine months ended September
30, 1996, primarily as a result of the decrease in mortgage loans payable due
to amortization of principal.

  Depreciation  and amortization  increased approximately  $205,000 or   3.9%
for  the nine  months ended September  30, 1997  compared to the  nine months
ended September  30,  1996.   The  increase was  due  primarily to  the  1996
Acquisition,  additions  for   building  and  tenant  improvements   and  the
amortization of financing costs associated with the LBHI loan in 1997.

  Real estate  taxes increased approximately  $187,000 or  3.1% for the  nine
months ended September  30, 1997 compared to the  nine months ended September
30, 1996.  The 1996  Acquisition accounted for approximately $284,000  of the
increase  over  1996 and  the  1997 Acquisition  accounted  for approximately
$83,000  of the increase.   The  increases were offset  by a  net decrease of
approximately $180,000 for buildings included for all of 1996 and 1997 due to
management's efforts to obtain reductions in assessed values.

  Marketing  general  and  administrative  expense   increased  approximately
$134,000 or 6.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
nine  months ended  September 30, 1996.   The  increase was due  primarily to
increases  in  staff  in  the  service corporations  due  to  public  company
requirements and the acquisition of properties.

  Comparison  of the  three  months ended  September 30,  1997  to  the three
months ended September 30, 1996.

  The pro  forma statement of operations for the three months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 are presented as  if the completion of the Offering and the
Formation Transactions occurred on January 1, 1996 and the effect thereof was
carried forward through September 30, 1997.

  The pro forma  financial statements  do not purport  to represent what  the
Company's financial  position  or  results  of  operations  would  have  been
assuming the  completion of  the Formation Transactions  and the  Offering on
such date or at the beginning of the period indicated, nor do they purport to
project  the Company's  financial position  or results  of operations  at any
future date or for any future period.  The pro forma statements of operations
should be read  in conjunction with  the combined financial statements  of SL
Green Predecessor included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-

  Rental  revenue  increased approximately  $566,000 or  5.0%  for  the three
months ended September 30, 1997 compared  to the three months ended September
30,  1996.    The  increase  in  rental  revenue  attributable  to  the  1997
Acquisition was $237,000,  while revenue from  the other properties  included
for all of the 1996 and 1997 third quarters increased approximately $329,000,
primarily due to increased occupancy.

  Leasing  commission income  increased approximately  $329,000 or  82.9% for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three  months ended
September 30, 1996.  The  increase reflects continued strong leasing activity
in the market.

  Investment income  in the  amount of  $207,000 for the  three months  ended
September  30,  1997 was  due to  temporary investment  of proceeds  from the
Offering, and  is reported  as the  same amount  for the  three months  ended
September 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis.

  Other income increased approximately $38,000 or 37.6% for  the three months
ended September  30, 1997 compared to  the quarter ended September  30, 1996.
Other income is  primarily generated by the three  acquisition properties and
includes  tenant  lease buy  outs  and  various  other non  recurring  tenant
charges.   Due  to  the erratic  nature  of this  type of  income  it is  not
consistent from quarter to quarter.

  Operating  expenses increased approximately  $64,000 or 2.1% primarily as a
result of the 1997 Acquisition ($84,000).

  Interest  expense decreased  by  approximately  $31,000  or  2.3%  for  the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September
30, 1996, primarily as a result of the decrease in mortgage loans payable due
to amortization of principal.

  Depreciation and amortization increased approximately  $23,000 or 1.3%  for
the three months ended September 30, 1997  compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  The increase in depreciation was due to the amortization
of financing costs associated with the LBHI loan received in 1997.

  Real estate  taxes increased approximately $163,000  or 8.5% for the  three
months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September
30, 1996.  The  1997 Acquisition accounted for  approximately $83,000 of  the
increase.     Two  of  the  acquisition  properties  had  increases  totaling
approximately  $39,000 for  the nine  months ended  September 30,  1997 which
impacted the third quarter due to the  New York City tax year commencing July
1, 1997.    In  addition,  properties  with  overall  tax  decreases  due  to
reductions in assessed value reflected  larger decreases in the third quarter
1996 than in the third quarter 1997 due to the New York City fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The SL  Green Predecessor historically  relied on  fixed and floating  rate
mortgage  financing  plus  the  use  of  its  capital  for  the  acquisition,
redevelopment and renovation of the  Company's properties.  The proceeds from
the  Offering as well as the new mortgage  loan in the amount of $14 million,
which is  secured by  50 West 23rd  Street, were  utilized to  repay existing
mortgage  loans, acquire properties,  pay Offering and  Formation Transaction
expenses  and provide  working  capital.   Total  outstanding mortgage  loans
amounted  to $46.3 million  as a result  of the Formation  Transactions.  All
mortgage loans encumbering the Company's properties have fixed interest rates
ranging from  7.47% to 9.0%.   Subsequent to  the Formation  Transactions the
mortgage  loans  represent  approximately  11.03%  of  the  Company's  market
capitalization based on  an estimated total  market capitalization (debt  and
equity, assuming  conversion of all  operating partnership  units) of  $426.7
million at September 30, 1997 (based  on a common stock price of $25.875  per
share, the closing price of the Company's common  stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on September 30, 1997).  The Company's principal debt maturities are
scheduled  to be $433,000 and $1,958,000 for the three months ending December
31, 1997 and the twelve months ending December 31, 1998, respectively.  

  The Operating Partnership has received  loans totaling approximately  $69.5
million  from Lehman  Brothers  Holdings,  Inc. ("LBHI").    These loans  are
collateralized  by  the  mortgages  encumbering the  Operating  Partnership's
interests in 1140 Avenue of the Americas and 110 East 42nd Street.  The loans
are  also collateralized by an equivalent amount  of the Company's cash which
is held  by LBHI.  Interest  on the cash  collateral is applied by  Lehman to
service  the  loans,  which  mature  on  January  15, 1998.    The  Operating
Partnership and LBHI  each have the right  of offset and therefore  the loans
and  the  cash   collateral  have  been  presented  net   for  the  condensed
consolidated balance sheet.  These  loans, except for an $132,000 origination
fee, have  no cost to the Company.   The purpose of the  loans is to maintain
certain  mortgage  escrow  tax  credits  which  may  be  utilized  on  future
acquisitions which require debt financing that require a mortgage interest to
qualify a lender.

  The Company  is currently  negotiating with Lehman  the terms  of a  credit
facility  (the "Credit  Facility"), which  the Company  expects to  be placed
shortly,  although there is  no assurance  that the  Credit Facility  will be
obtained.   The Company expects to utilize  the Credit Facility to facilitate
acquisitions  and fund associated tenant improvements and leasing commissions
and other working capital needs.

  The  Company expects  to make  distributions to its  stockholders primarily
based on  its distributions  received from the  Operating Partnership  or, if
necessary, from  working capital  or borrowings.   The Operating  Partnership
income will  be derived primarily from lease revenue from the Properties and,
to a limited extent, from fees generated by the Service Corporations.

  The Company estimates that for the 12 months ending September 30,  1998, it
will incur approximately $5.11 million of capital expenditures on properties
currently owned.  The Company expects to fund these capital expenditures with
the Credit Facility, operating  cash flow and cash on hand.   Future property
acquisitions may require  substantial capital investments in  such properties
for  refurbishment  and  leasing  costs.   The  Company  expects  that  these
financing requirements will  be provided primarily  from the Credit  Facility
(once obtained),  from additional borrowings  secured by the  target property
and from future  issuances of equity and debt.  The  Company believes that it
will have sufficient capital resources  to satisfy its obligations during the
next 12  month period.   Thereafter, the  Company expects that  capital needs
will be  met  through a  combination  of  net cash  provided  by  operations,
borrowings and additional equity issuances.

Cash Flows

  Comparison  of nine  months ended September  30, 1997 to  nine months ended
September 30, 1996

  Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased $4,513 to 
$4,206 from $(307) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared  to 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.   The increase was due primarily  
to the net income  generated  by  the  1996  Acquisition, increased  income  
from  other properties and  an increase in leasing commission   income.  Net 
cash used in investing activities increased $135,671 to $151,889 from $16,218
for the nine months ended September 30,  1997 compared to the nine  months 
ended September 30, 1996.  The increase  was  due  primarily to the purchase
of certain properties  in connection  with the  Offering and  the purchase  
of the  1997 Acquisition, partially  offset by a net contribution from  
partnership investments  of $1,852 in 1997 compared  to a net distribution to 
partnership investments  of $1,188 in  1996.  Net  cash provided by  
financing activities increased  $146,536  to $163,107  from  $16,571  for  
the nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996.  The increase  was  due primarily  to  net  proceeds  
received from  the  Offering ($228,704) and increased proceeds from loans 
($6,000) in 1997 compared to 1996, off-set by increased payments  on  
mortgages and  loans  ($76,458) in  1997 compared to 1996, 1997 formation
expenses   $(5,215)  and net distributions to owners increased $5,720 in 
1997 compared to 1996.

Funds from Operations

  The  White  Paper  on  Funds  from  Operations  approved  by  the Board  of
Governors of NAREIT in March 1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income
(loss) (computed in  accordance with GAAP), excluding gains  (or losses) from
debt  restructuring  and  sales  of  properties,  plus  real  estate  related
depreciation  and  amortization  and  after  adjustments  for  unconsolidated
partnerships  and joint  ventures.    The Company  believes  that Funds  from
Operations  is helpful  to investors as  a measure  of the performance  of an
equity  REIT  because,  along  with  cash  flow  from  operating  activities,
financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with  an
indication of  the ability of the Company to  incur and service debt, to make
capital expenditures  and to fund  other cash  needs.   The Company  computes
Funds  from  Operations in  accordance with  standards established  by NAREIT
which may not be comparable to Funds from Operations reported by other REIT's
that do not define the term in accordance with the current  NAREIT definition

Inflation

  Substantially all of the office leases provide for separate real estate
tax and operating expense escalations over a base amount.  In addition, many
of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed escalations. 
The Company believes that inflationary increases may be at least partially
offset by the contractual rent increases described above.
