220 Central Park South ("220 CPS")

We are constructing a residential condominium tower containing 397,000 salable square feet at 220 CPS. The development cost of this project (exclusive of land cost) is estimated to be approximately $1.4 billion, of which $1.3 billion has been expended as of September 30, 2019.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we closed on the sale of 14 condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds aggregating $348,759,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $130,888,000 which is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income. In connection with these sales, $21,853,000 of income tax expense was recognized on our consolidated statements of income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we closed on the sale of 37 condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds of $1,039,493,000 resulting in a financial statement net gain of $400,500,000 which is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income. In connection with these sales, $71,590,000 of income tax expense was recognized on our consolidated statements of income. From inception to September 30, 2019, we closed on the sale of 48 units for aggregate net proceeds of $1,254,269,000. During the third quarter of 2019, we repaid the remaining $48,883,000 of the $950,000,000 220 CPS loan. Of the condominium units closed, one was sold to a limited liability company owned by the spouse of a related party, David Mandelbaum, a Trustee of Vornado and a Director of Alexander’s, and another was sold to Mr. Mandelbaum's brother. The net proceeds were $23,357,000 and $16,099,000, respectively.
