Investments in Partially Owned Entities Investments in Partially Owned Entities
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
As of December 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.
As of December 31, 2025, we own $1.079 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 partial redemptions 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.
As of December 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 $709,414,000, the basis difference primarily resulting from the 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.
We receive an annual fee for managing the Properties equal to 2% of the gross revenues from the Properties. In addition, we are entitled to a development fee of 5% of development costs, plus reimbursement of certain costs, for development projects performed by us. We are entitled to 1.5% of development costs, plus reimbursement of certain costs, as a supervisory fee for development projects not performed by us. We provide leasing services for fees calculated based on a percentage of rents, less any commissions paid to third-party real estate brokers, if applicable. We jointly provide leasing services for the retail space with Crown Retail Services LLC, and exclusively provide leasing services for the office space. We recognized property management fee income, included in "fee and other income" on our consolidated statements of income, of $3,538,000, $4,276,000 and $4,587,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Wholly owned subsidiaries of Vornado provide cleaning, security and engineering services at certain Properties. We recognized income for these services, included in "fee and other income" on our consolidated statements of income, of $4,567,000, $4,624,000 and $4,499,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We believe, based on comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that the fees described above are consistent with the market.
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.
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 preferred equity on the asset.

Alexander’s, Inc
As of December 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. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Alexander’s owed us an aggregate of $134,000 and $1,159,000, respectively, pursuant to such agreements.
As of December 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 December 31, 2025 closing share price of $217.94, was $360,488,000, or $313,212,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $29,054,000. 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.
We receive an annual fee for managing Alexander’s and all of its properties equal to the sum of (i) $2,800,000, (ii) 2% of the gross revenue from the Rego Park II Shopping Center, (iii) $0.50 per square foot of the tenant-occupied office and retail space at 731 Lexington Avenue, and (iv) $387,000, escalating at 3% per annum, for managing the common area of 731 Lexington Avenue. In addition, we are entitled to a development fee of 6% of development costs, as defined.
We provide Alexander’s with leasing services for a fee of 3% of rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of rent for the eleventh through twentieth year of a lease term and 1% of rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by tenants. In the event third party real estate brokers are used, Alexander’s is directly responsible for any third-party lease commissions and, in such circumstances, our fee is one-third of the applicable third-party lease commissions.
Wholly owned subsidiaries of Vornado provide cleaning, engineering, security, and garage management services to certain Alexander’s properties. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $3,849,000, $4,611,000 and $4,629,000 of income, respectively, for these.
On December 5, 2025, Alexander’s completed a $175,000,000 refinancing of Rego Park II shopping center, located in Queens, New York. The five-year interest-only loan matures in December 2030 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 2.00%. Alexander’s paid down by $23,544,000 the prior $198,544,000 loan that bore interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.45% and was scheduled to mature in December 2025.
On December 23, 2025, Alexander’s entered into an agreement to restructure the $300,000,000 mortgage loan on the retail condominium portion of 731 Lexington Avenue, which previously bore interest at SOFR plus 1.51%. The restructured loan was split into (i) a $132,500,000 senior A-Note that was purchased by a wholly owned subsidiary of Alexander’s, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.00% and (ii) a $167,500,000 junior C-Note held by the lenders of the original loan, which accrues PIK interest at 4.55%. In addition, Alexander’s has the right to fund operating shortfalls, interest on the A-Note and capital for re-leasing at the property through a B-Note, which will be junior to the A-Note and senior to the C-Note. The B-Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.50%, except for loan amounts above $65,000,000 used to pay interest on the A-Note, which will bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.00%. The restructured loan matures in December 2035.
Independence Plaza
On June 5, 2025, a joint venture, in which we have a 50.1% interest, completed a $675,000,000 refinancing of Independence Plaza, a 1,328 unit residential complex in the Tribeca submarket of Manhattan. The interest-only non-recourse loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.84% and matures in June 2030. The loan replaced the previous $675,000,000 loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2025 and bore interest at 4.25%.
49 West 57th Street
On June 26, 2025, a joint venture, in which we own a 50.0% interest, completed the sale of the 49 West 57th Street commercial condominium. We received net proceeds of $8,650,000 and recognized a financial statement net gain of $2,527,000 which is included in "income from partially owned entities" on our consolidated statements of income.
512 West 22nd Street
On August 14, 2025, a joint venture, in which we own a 55.0% interest, completed the sale of 512 West 22nd Street, a 173,000 square foot office building, for $205,000,000. The joint venture used a portion of the proceeds to repay the $122,930,000 mortgage loan encumbering the property. We received net proceeds of $37,900,000 and recognized a financial statement net gain of $11,002,000, which is included in “income from partially owned entities” on our consolidated statements of income.

650 Madison Avenue
In October 2025, a joint venture, in which we own a 22.2% interest, received a notice of default (the “Notice”) on the $800,000,000 non-recourse mortgage loan secured by 650 Madison Avenue, a 601,000 square foot Manhattan office and retail building. The Notice asserts that the joint venture is in default under the loan agreement due to its failure to pay the full interest and reserve amounts due and owing under the loan agreement and that the joint venture’s obligations became immediately due and payable. In November 2025, the joint venture cured the default and the loan is currently in good standing.
As previously announced in the fourth quarter of 2022, we wrote off our entire investment in 650 Madison Avenue and accordingly carry this investment at zero on our balance sheet and no longer record our share of net income (loss) from this investment.
