SL Green SLG recently announced the disposition of 10 East 53rd Street to Meadow Partners, a real estate investment manager specializing in global middle-market transactions, for a total consideration of $312.2 million. Expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, the transaction will yield net proceeds of nearly $100 million. The company plans to use these funds for debt repayment.
Leased at 92%, the asset under consideration is a 37-story, 390,000-square-foot building located in East Midtown between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue. SL Green acquired this property in 2012 and completed its redevelopment and repositioning. In December 2024, SLG acquired the remaining 45% interest in the property for $236 million and positioned it well to capitalize on the growing demand for high-quality, well-located Midtown assets.
SL Green is making efforts to improve its portfolio quality by investing in value-accretive assets and disposing of non-core assets. In March 2026, SL Green entered into a contract to sell the residential and retail components of 7 Dey Street for a consideration of $222.6 million while retaining the 26,000-square-foot office condominium. In February 2026, together with its joint venture partner, SL Green closed on the sale of 690 Madison Avenue for $54.5 million.
These transactions support SL Green’s $2.5 billion disposition target for 2026. By monetizing non-core assets and directing proceeds toward debt repayment, the company aims to strengthen its balance sheet, enhance portfolio quality and create long-term shareholder value through active asset management.
