1.     Organization

Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully‑integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors.  Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.3% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2011.  All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

2.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado, and the Operating Partnership and its consolidated partially owned entities.  All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, Comprehensive Income, which requires, among other things, presentation of the components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We believe that the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2012 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We are the general partner and investment manager of an $800,000,000 real estate investment Fund, to which we have committed $200,000,000.  The Fund has a term of eight years and is our exclusive investment vehicle during its three-year investment period, which concludes in July 2013, for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters, as defined.  The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings.  We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements.

From inception through September 30, 2011, the Fund received aggregate  capital contributions from partners of $256,100,000, including $64,031,000 from us,  and as of September 30, 2011, has five investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $261,417,000.   Below is a summary of income (loss) from the Fund for the three and nine  months ended September  30, 2011 and 2010.

One Park Avenue

On March 1, 2011, we as a co-investor, together with the Fund, acquired a 95% interest in One Park Avenue, a 932,000 square foot office building located between 32^nd and 33^rd Streets in New York, for $374,000,000.  The purchase price consisted of $137,000,000 in cash and 95% of a new $250,000,000 five-year mortgage that bears interest at 5.0%.  The Fund accounts for its 64.7% interest in the property at fair value in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies.  We account for our directly owned 30.3% equity interest under the equity method of accounting.

5.    Marketable Securities and Derivative InstrumentsMarketable Securities

Our portfolio of marketable securities is comprised of debt and equity securities that are classified as available for sale.  Available for sale securities are presented on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  Gains and losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these securities are included in “other comprehensive (loss) income.”  Gains and losses are recognized in earnings only upon the sale of the securities and are recorded based on the weighted average cost of such securities.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we sold certain marketable securities for aggregate proceeds of $19,301,000 and $155,118,000, resulting in net gains of $2,139,000 and $8,960,000, respectively, of which $0 and $5,052,000 was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Investment in J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (“J.C. Penney”) (NYSE: JCP)

We own an economic interest in 23,400,000 J.C. Penney common shares, or 10.9% of J.C. Penney’s outstanding common shares.  Below are the details of our investment.

We own 18,584,010 common shares at an average economic cost of $25.71 per share or $477,829,000 in the aggregate.  As of September 30, 2011, these shares have an aggregate fair value of $497,680,000, based on J.C. Penney’s closing share price of $26.78 per share at September 30, 2011.  Of these shares, 15,500,000 were acquired through the exercise of a call option that was acquired on September 28, 2010 and settled on November 9, 2010.  During the period in which the call option was outstanding and classified as a derivative instrument, we recognized $112,537,000 of income.  Upon exercise of the call option, the GAAP basis of the 18,584,010 common shares we own increased to $31.77 per share, or $590,366,000 in the aggregate.  These shares are included in marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.”  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized a $102,920,000 loss from the mark-to-market of these shares, which is included in “other comprehensive (loss) income,” based on the difference between the carrying amount of these shares of $600,600,000 at December 31, 2010 and the fair value of $497,680,000 at September 30, 2011.

We also own an economic interest in 4,815,990 common shares through a forward contract executed on October 7, 2010, at a weighted average strike price of $28.76 per share, or $138,492,000 in the aggregate.  The contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 9, 2012.  The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, upon one year’s notice to us.  The strike price per share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 80 basis points.  The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Mark-to-market adjustments on the underlying common shares are recognized in “interest and other investment (loss) income, net” on our consolidated statements of income.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized losses of $37,537,000 and $27,136,000, respectively, from the mark-to-market of the underlying common shares, based on J.C. Penney’s closing share price of $26.78 per share at September 30, 2011.

On September 16, 2011, we entered into an agreement with J.C. Penney which enables us to increase our beneficial and/or economic ownership to up to 15.4% of J.C. Penney’s outstanding common shares.  We have agreed to vote any common shares we hold in excess of 9.9% of J.C. Penney’s outstanding common shares in accordance with either the recommendation of the board of directors of J.C. Penney or in direct proportion to the vote of all other public shareholders of J.C. Penney (excluding shares affiliated with Pershing Square Capital Management L.P.).

We review our investment in J.C. Penney on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, J.C. Penney’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by its board, price levels of its common stock, other investment opportunities available to us, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions, we may take such actions with respect to J.C. Penney as we deem appropriate, including (i) purchasing additional common stock or other financial instruments related to J.C. Penney, subject to our agreement with J.C. Penney as described in the preceding paragraph, or (ii) selling some or all of our beneficial or economic holdings, or (iii) engaging in hedging or similar transactions.

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

As of September 30, 2011, we own 32.7% of Toys.  The business of Toys is highly seasonal.  Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income.  We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our 32.7% share of Toys net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31.  As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys does not differ materially from our share of the equity in the net assets of Toys on a purchase accounting basis.

On May 28, 2010, Toys filed a registration statement, as amended, with the SEC for the offering and sale of its common stock.  The offering, if completed, would result in a reduction of our percentage ownership of Toys’ equity.  The size of the offering and its completion are subject to market and other conditions.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)

As of September 30, 2011, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity.  We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to the agreements described below which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.  As of September 30, 2011, Alexander’s owed us $43,308,000 in fees under these agreements.

As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s September 30, 2011 closing share price of $361.02, was $597,152,000, or $406,875,000in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of September 30, 2011, 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 $59,188,000.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.  The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP)

As of September 30, 2011, we own 18,468,969 Lexington common shares, or approximately 11.7% of Lexington’s common equity.  We account for our investment in Lexington under the equity method because we believe we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington’s operating and financial policies, based on, among other factors, our representation on Lexington’s Board of Trustees and the level of our ownership in Lexington as compared to other shareholders.  We record our pro rata share of Lexington’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its consolidated financial statements. 

Based on Lexington’s September 30, 2011 closing share price of $6.54, the fair value of our investment in Lexington was $120,787,000, or $59,472,000 in excess of the September 30, 2011 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of our investment in Lexington was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of Lexington by approximately $48,861,000.  This basis difference resulted primarily from $107,882,000 of non-cash impairment charges recognized during 2008, partially offset by purchase accounting for our acquisition of an additional 8,000,000 common shares of Lexington in October 2008, of which the majority relates to our estimate of the fair values of Lexington’s real estate (land and buildings) as compared to the carrying amounts in Lexington’s consolidated financial statements.  The basis difference related to the buildings is being amortized over their estimated useful lives as an adjustment to our equity in net income or loss of Lexington.  This amortization is not material to our share of equity in Lexington’s net income or loss.  The basis difference attributable to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

LNR Property LLC (“LNR”)

As of September 30, 2011, we own a 26.2% equity interest in LNR, which we acquired in July 2010.  We account for our investment in LNR under the equity method and record our 26.2% share of LNR’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to receiving LNR’s consolidated financial statements.

LNR consolidates certain commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”) trusts for which it is the primary beneficiary.  The assets of these trusts (primarily commercial mortgage loans), which aggregate approximately $138.5 billion as of June 30, 2011, are the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including us.  Changes in the fair value of these assets each period are offset by changes in the fair value of the related liabilities through LNR’s consolidated income statement.  As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of our investment in LNR does not materially differ from our share of LNR’s equity.

280 Park Avenue Joint Venture

On March 16, 2011, we formed a 50/50 joint venture with SL Green Realty Corp (“SL Green”) to own the mezzanine debt of 280 Park Avenue, a 1.2 million square foot office building located between 48th and 49th Streets in Manhattan (the “Property”).  We contributed our mezzanine loan with a face amount of $73,750,000, and they contributed their mezzanine loans with a face amount of $326,250,000 to the joint venture.  We equalized our interest in the joint venture with SL Green by paying them $111,250,000 in cash and assuming $15,000,000 of their debt.  On May 17, 2011, as part of the recapitalization of the Property, the joint venture contributed its debt position for 99% of the common equity of a new joint venture which owns the Property.  The new joint venture expects to spend $150,000,000 for re-tenanting and repositioning the Property.  We account for our 49.5% equity interest in the Property under the equity method of accounting from the date of recapitalization. 

Independence Plaza

On June 17, 2011, a joint venture in which we are a 51% partner invested $55,000,000 in cash (of which we contributed $35,000,000) to acquire a face amount of $150,000,000 of mezzanine loans and a $35,000,000 participation in a senior loan on Independence Plaza, a residential complex comprised of three 39-story buildings in the Tribeca submarket of Manhattan.  We share control over major decisions with our joint venture partner.  Accordingly, we account for our 51% interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting from the date of acquisition.

7.    Mezzanine Loans Receivable

On March 2, 2011, we sold our mezzanine loan in the Tharaldson Lodging Companies for $70,848,000 in cash, which had a carrying amount of $60,416,000 and recognized a net gain of $10,474,000.  The gain is included as a component of “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statement of income.

In the first quarter of 2011, we recognized $72,270,000 of income, representing the difference between the fair value of our 280 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan of $73,750,000, and its carrying amount of $1,480,000.  The $72,270,000 of income, which is included in “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statement of income, is comprised of $63,145,000 from the reversal of the loan loss reserve and $9,125,000 of previously unrecognized interest income.  Our decision to reverse the loan loss reserve was based on the increase in value of the underlying collateral.  On March 16, 2011, we contributed this mezzanine loan to a 50/50 joint venture with SL Green (see Note 6 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities).

11.    Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets represent Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are comprised of Class A units and Series D-10, D-14, D-15 and D-16 (collectively, “Series D”) cumulative redeemable preferred units.  Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets 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 our consolidated statements of changes in equity.  Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable noncontrolling interests.

(Amounts in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	1,251,628
Net income		33,487
Distributions		(40,702)
Conversion of Class A units into common shares, at redemption value		(62,606)
Adjustments to carry redeemable Class A units at redemption value		232,099
Redemption of Series D-12 redeemable units		(13,000)
Other, net		16,316
Balance at September 30, 2010	$	1,417,222
Balance at December 31, 2010	$	1,327,974
Net income		47,364
Distributions		(38,393)
Conversion of Class A units into common shares, at redemption value		(38,220)
Adjustments to carry redeemable Class A units at redemption value		(114,628)
Redemption of Series D-11 redeemable units		(28,000)
Other, net		4,623
Balance at September 30, 2011	$	1,160,720

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units was $934,720,000 and $1,066,974,000, respectively. 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests 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 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares.  Accordingly the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $55,052,000 and $55,097,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In 2011, we redeemed 1,400,000 Series D-11 cumulative redeemable preferred units with a par value of $25.00 per unit, for an aggregate of $28,000,000 in cash.  In 2010, we redeemed 800,000 Series D-12 cumulative redeemable preferred units with a par value of $25.00 per unit, for an aggregate of $13,000,000 in cash.

12.  Shareholders’ Equity

On April 20, 2011, we sold 7,000,000 6.875% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement.  On April 21, 2011, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,050,000 shares to cover over-allotments.  On May 5, 2011 and August 5, 2011, we sold an additional 800,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, at a price of $25.00 per share.  We retained aggregate net proceeds of $239,037,000, after underwriters’ discounts and issuance costs and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 9,850,000 Series J Preferred Units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series J Preferred Shares).  Dividends on the Series J Preferred Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.  The Series J Preferred Shares are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any of our properties or securities.  On or after five years from the date of issuance (or sooner under limited circumstances), we, at our option, may redeem the Series J Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption.  The Series J Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us.  

13.  Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures 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; 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

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) derivative positions in marketable equity securities, (iii) the assets of our deferred compensation plan, which are primarily marketable equity securities and equity investments in limited partnerships, (iv) Real Estate Fund investments, and (v)  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 financial assets and liabilities by the levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

18.          Cleveland Medical Mart Development Project

During 2010, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements with Cuyahoga County, Ohio (the “County”) to develop and operate the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center (the “Facility”), a 1,000,000 square foot showroom, trade show and conference center in Cleveland’s central business district.  The County will fund the development of the Facility, using the proceeds it received from the issuance of general obligation bonds and other sources, up to the development budget of $465,000,000 and maintain effective control of the property.  During the 17-year development and operating period, our subsidiaries will receive net settled payments of approximately $10,000,000 per year, which are net of its $36,000,000 annual obligation to the County.  Our subsidiaries’ obligation has been pledged by the County to the bondholders, but is payable by our subsidiaries only to the extent that they first receive at least an equal payment from the County.  Our subsidiaries engaged a contractor to construct the Facility pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract; although our subsidiaries are ultimately responsible for cost overruns, the contractor is responsible for all costs incurred in excess of its contract and has provided a completion guaranty.  Construction of the Facility is expected to be completed in 2013.  Upon completion, our subsidiaries are required to fund $11,500,000, primarily for tenant improvements, and they are responsible for operating expenses and are entitled to the net operating income, if any, of the Facility.  The County may terminate the operating agreement five years from the completion of development and periodically thereafter, if our subsidiaries fail to achieve certain performance thresholds. 

We account for these agreements using criteria set forth in ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements, as our subsidiaries are providing development, marketing, leasing, and other property management related services over the 17-year term.  We recognize development fees using the percentage of completion method of accounting.  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $35,135,000 and $108,203,000 of revenue, respectively, which is offset by development costs expensed of $33,419,000 and $101,637,000, respectively.

19.    Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance 

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods.  Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $180,000,000 annual aggregate.

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to 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 nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.  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.  Coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss.  We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism.  However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures 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 our properties and expand our portfolio.

19.    Commitments and Contingencies – continued

          Other Commitments and Contingencies

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $151,959,000.

At September 30, 2011, $22,085,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our 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 our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our 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.

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.

As part of the process of obtaining the required approvals to demolish and develop our 220 Central Park South property into a new residential tower, we have committed to fund the estimated project cost of approximately $400,000,000 to $425,000,000.  In addition, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $264,000,000.

Litigation  

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, including the matter referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005, that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision.  On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007.  A trial was held in November 2010 and closing arguments were held in March 2011.  As of September 30, 2011, we have a $40,733,000 receivable from Stop & Shop, of which $23,105,000 has been reserved.  We believe, after consultation with counsel, that the maximum reasonably possible loss is up to the total amount of the receivable of $40,733,000.

(1)	EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Vornado Realty Trust

New York, New York

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them 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), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 2011, 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, 2010 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2011.

Overview

Business Objective and Operating Strategy

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) and the SNL REIT Index (“SNL”) for the following periods ended September 30, 2011:

		Total Return(1)
		Vornado	RMS	SNL
	One-year	(9.9%)	1.3%	1.2%
	Three-year	(9.2%)	(5.0%)	(4.0%)
	Five-year	(18.7%)	(12.2%)	(8.9%)
	Ten-year	196.5%	139.6%	149.5%
(1) Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:

·      Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;

·      Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation;

·      Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;

·      Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area;

·      Developing and redeveloping existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and

·      Investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component.

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from possible asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.  We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire our shares or any other securities in the future.

We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.  See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for additional information regarding these factors.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, Comprehensive Income, which requires, among other things, presentation of the components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We believe that the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2012 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

2011 Acquisitions and Investments

One Park Avenue

On March 1, 2011, we as a co-investor, together with the Fund, acquired a 95% interest in One Park Avenue, a 932,000 square foot office building located between 32^nd and 33^rd Streets in New York, for $374,000,000. The purchase price consisted of $137,000,000 in cash and 95% of a new $250,000,000 five-year mortgage that bears interest at 5.0%.

280 Park Avenue Joint Venture

On March 16, 2011, we formed a 50/50 joint venture with SL Green Realty Corp (“SL Green”) to own the mezzanine debt of 280 Park Avenue, a 1.2 million square foot office building located between 48th and 49th Streets in Manhattan (the “Property”).  We contributed our mezzanine loan with a face amount of $73,750,000 and they contributed their mezzanine loans with a face amount of $326,250,000 to the joint venture.  We equalized our interest in the joint venture with SL Green by paying them $111,250,000 in cash and assuming $15,000,000 of their debt.  On May 17, 2011, as part of the recapitalization of the Property, the joint venture contributed its debt position for 99% of the common equity of a new joint venture which owns the Property.  The new joint venture expects to spend $150,000,000 for re-tenanting and repositioning the Property.

Independence Plaza

On June 17, 2011, a joint venture in which we are a 51% partner invested $55,000,000 in cash (of which we contributed $35,000,000) to acquire a face amount of $150,000,000 of mezzanine loans and a $35,000,000 participation in a senior loan on Independence Plaza, a residential complex comprised of three 39-story buildings in the Tribeca submarket of Manhattan.

2011 Dispositions

On March 31, 2011, the receiver completed the disposition of the High Point Complex in North Carolina.  In connection therewith, the property and related debt were removed from our consolidated balance sheet and we recognized a net gain of $83,907,000 on the extinguishment of debt.

During 2011, we sold 1140 Connecticut Avenue and 1227 25^th Street for $127,000,000 in cash, which resulted in a $45,862,000 net gain, and three retail properties in separate transactions for an aggregate of $40,990,000 in cash, which resulted in net gains aggregating $5,761,000.

In January 2011, we completed a $60,000,000 financing of land under a portion of the Borgata Hotel and Casino complex. The 10-year fixed rate loan bears interest at 5.14% and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in the third year.

On January 10, 2011, we completed a $75,000,000 financing of North Bergen (Tonnelle Avenue), a 410,000 square foot strip shopping center.  The seven-year fixed rate loan bears interest rate at 4.59% and amortizes based on a 25-year schedule beginning in the sixth year. This property was previously unencumbered.

On January 18, 2011, we repaid the outstanding balance of the construction loan on 220 20^th Street and closed on a $76,100,000 mortgage at a fixed rate of 4.61%.  The loan has a seven-year term and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule.

On February 10, 2011, we completed a $150,000,000 financing of 2121 Crystal Drive, a 506,000 square foot office building located in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia.  The 12-year fixed rate loan bears interest at 5.51% and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in the third year.  This property was previously unencumbered.

On February 11, 2011, we completed a $425,000,000 refinancing of Two Penn Plaza, a 1.6 million square foot Manhattan office building.  The seven-year loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, which was swapped for the term of the loan to a fixed rate of 5.13%.  The loan amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in the fourth year.  We retained net proceeds of approximately $139,000,000 after repaying the existing loan and closing costs.

On April 20, 2011, we sold 7,000,000 6.875% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement.  On April 21, 2011, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,050,000 shares to cover over-allotments.  On May 5, 2011 and August 5, 2011 we sold an additional 800,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively, at a price of $25.00 per share.  We retained aggregate net proceeds of $239,037,000, after underwriters’ discounts and issuance costs and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 9,850,000 Series J Preferred Units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series J Preferred Shares).  Dividends on the Series J Preferred Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.  The Series J Preferred Shares are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any of our properties or securities.  On or after five years from the date of issuance (or sooner under limited circumstances), we, at our option, may redeem the Series J Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption.  The Series J Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us.

In May 2011, we repaid the outstanding balance of the construction loan on West End 25, and closed on a $101,671,000 mortgage at a fixed rate of 4.88%.  The loan has a 10-year term and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in the sixth year.

On June 8, 2011, we renewed one of our two unsecured revolving credit facilities, and increased it to $1,250,000,000 from $1,000,000,000.  The renewed facility matures in four years, has a one-year extension option and bears interest on drawn amounts at LIBOR plus 1.35% and has a .30% facility fee (drawn or undrawn), based on our credit ratings.  We plan to renew our second revolving credit facility of $1,595,000,000, which matures in September 2012, with a new $1,250,000,000 facility that has a four-year term, with a one-year extension option and bears interest on drawn amounts at LIBOR plus 1.25% and has a .25% facility fee (drawn or undrawn), based on our credit ratings.

On September 1, 2011, we completed a $600,000,000 refinancing of 555 California Street, a three-building office complex aggregating 1.8 million square feet in San Francisco’s financial district, known as the Bank of America center, in which we own a 70% controlling interest.  The 10-year loan bears interest at 5.10% and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in the fourth year.  The proceeds of the new loan and $45,000,000 of existing cash were used to repay the existing loan and closing costs.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)   EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.”  We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize these measures to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)   Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax (benefit) expense in the reconciliation of our net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

(3)   The components of other EBITDA are summarized below.  The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the “other” column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, including unit distributions for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is primarily comprised of allocations of income to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $2,797,000 and $7,119,000, respectively, and preferred unit distributions of the Operating Partnership of $4,028,000 and $4,465,000, respectively.  The decrease of $4,322,000 in allocations of income to redeemable noncontrolling interests resulted primarily from lower net income subject to allocation to unitholders.

Preferred Share Dividends

Preferred share dividends were $17,627,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $13,442,000 for the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $4,185,000.  This increase resulted from the issuance of Series J preferred shares during 2011, partially offset by the redemption of the Series D-10 preferred shares in 2010.

Discount of Preferred Share and Unit Redemptions

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized a $5,000,000 discount from the redemption of 1,000,000 Series    D-11 preferred units, compared to a $4,382,000 discount in the prior year’s quarter from the redemption of 1,600,000 Series D-10 preferred shares.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to September 30, 2010 - continued

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We present same store EBITDA on both a GAAP basis and a cash basis, which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. 

Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)   EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.”  We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize these measures to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(2)   Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax (benefit) expense in the reconciliation of our net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

(3)   The components of other EBITDA are summarized below.  The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the “other” column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

Revenues

Our revenues, which consist of property rentals, tenant expense reimbursements, hotel revenues, trade shows revenues, amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of above-market leases and fee income, were $2,173,850,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2,037,845,000 in the prior year’s nine months, an increase of $136,005,000, of which $108,203,000 relates to the Cleveland Medical Mart development project.  Below are the details of the increase (decrease) by segment:

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We present same store EBITDA on both a GAAP basis and a cash basis, which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Our revenues and expenses are subject to seasonality during the year which impacts quarterly net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations, and therefore impacts comparisons of the current quarter to the previous quarter. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income, which we record on a one-quarter lag basis in our first quarter, accounts for more than 80% of Toys’ fiscal year net income. The Office and Merchandise Mart segments have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year. The Merchandise Mart segment also has experienced higher earnings in the second and fourth quarters of the year due to major trade shows occurring in those quarters. The Retail segment revenue in the fourth quarter is typically higher due to the recognition of percentage rental income.

Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures.  Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions (excluding Fund acquisitions) may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.  In addition, the Fund has aggregate unfunded equity commitments of $543,900,000 for acquisitions, including $135,969,000 from us.  We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities.  Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors.  The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.   Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.  Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders, distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs. 

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Our cash and cash equivalents were $585,183,000 at September 30, 2011, a $105,606,000 decrease over the balance at December 31, 2010.  This decrease was primarily due to cash flows from financing activities, partially offset by cash flows from operating activities, as discussed below.  

Our consolidated outstanding debt was $10,406,550,000 at September 30, 2011, a $482,892,000 decrease over the balance at December 31, 2010.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $300,000,000 and $874,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.  During the remainder of 2011 and 2012 $624,000,000 and $1,593,000,000, respectively, of our outstanding debt matures; we may refinance this maturing debt as it comes due or choose to repay it using a portion of our $3,130,183,000 of available capacity (comprised of $585,183,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $2,545,000,000 of availability under our revolving credit facilities).

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $566,671,000 was comprised of (i) net income of $643,013,000 and (ii) distributions of income from partially owned entities of $75,612,000, partially offset by (iii) $8,352,000 of non-cash adjustments, which include depreciation and amortization expense, the effect of straight-lining of rental income and equity in net income of partially owned entities, and (iv) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $143,602,000, including $97,785,000 related to Real Estate Fund investments.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures consist of expenditures to maintain assets, tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions.  Recurring capital improvements include expenditures to maintain a property’s competitive position within the market and tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to re-lease expiring leases or renew or extend existing leases.  Non-recurring capital improvements include expenditures to lease space that has been vacant for more than nine months and expenditures completed in the year of acquisition and the following two years that were planned at the time of acquisition, as well as tenant improvements and leasing commissions for space that was vacant at the time of acquisition of a property.  Below is a summary of capital expenditures, leasing commissions and a reconciliation of total expenditures on an accrual basis to the cash expended in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods.  Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $180,000,000 annual aggregate.

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to 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 nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. 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.  Coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss.  We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism.  However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures 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 our properties and expand our portfolio.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $151,959,000.

At September 30, 2011, $22,085,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our 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 our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our 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.

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.

As part of the process of obtaining the required approvals to demolish and develop our 220 Central Park South property into a new residential tower, we have committed to fund the estimated project cost of approximately $400,000,000 to $425,000,000.  In addition, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $264,000,000.

Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued

During 2010, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements with Cuyahoga County, Ohio (the “County”) to develop and operate the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center (the “Facility”), a 1,000,000 square foot showroom, trade show and conference center in Cleveland’s central business district.  The County will fund the development of the Facility, using the proceeds it received from the issuance of general obligation bonds and other sources, up to the development budget of $465,000,000 and maintain effective control of the property.  During the 17-year development and operating period, our subsidiaries will receive net settled payments of approximately $10,000,000 per year, which are net of its $36,000,000 annual obligation to the County.  Our subsidiaries’ obligation has been pledged by the County to the bondholders, but is payable by our subsidiaries only to the extent that they first receive at least an equal payment from the County.  Our subsidiaries engaged a contractor to construct the Facility pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract; although our subsidiaries are ultimately responsible for cost overruns, the contractor is responsible for all costs incurred in excess of its contract and has provided a completion guaranty.  Construction of the Facility is expected to be completed in 2013.  Upon completion, our subsidiaries are required to fund $11,500,000, primarily for tenant improvements, and they are responsible for operating expenses and are entitled to the net operating income, if any, of the Facility.  The County may terminate the operating agreement five years from the completion of development and periodically thereafter, if our subsidiaries fail to achieve certain performance thresholds.

Litigation

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, including the matter referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005, that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision.  On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007.  A trial was held in November 2010 and closing arguments were held in March 2011.  As of September 30, 2011, we have a $40,733,000 receivable from Stop and Shop, of which $23,105,000 has been reserved.  We believe, after consultation with counsel, that the maximum reasonably possible loss is up to the total amount of the receivable of $40,733,000.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”)

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gain from sales of depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items, including the pro-rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.  FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flows as a liquidity measure.  FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 17 – Income per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 28 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FFO for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $195,125,000, or $1.05 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $248,964,000, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $951,054,000, or $4.96 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $814,030,000, or $4.29 per diluted share for the prior year’s nine months.  Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of September 30, 2011, variable rate debt with an aggregate principal amount of $557,120,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 2.81% was subject to LIBOR caps.  These caps are based on a notional amount of $558,479,000 and cap LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 5.68%.  In addition, we have one interest rate swap on a $425,000,000 loan that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 2.00% (2.24% at September 30, 2011) to a fixed rate of 5.13% for the remaining seven-year term of the loan. 

As of September 30, 2011, we have investments in mezzanine loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $76,362,000 that are based on variable interest rates which partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates on our variable rate debt.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the rate at which similar loans could be made currently to borrowers with similar credit ratings, for the remaining term of such debt.  As of September 30, 2011, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $10,592,911,000.

Derivative Instruments

We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including our economic interest in J.C. Penney common shares.  Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our investment income or expense in any given period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized a $27,136,000 loss from derivative instruments.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:  There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

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, including the matter referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005, that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision.  On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007.  A trial was held in November 2010 and closing arguments were held in March 2011.  As of September 30, 2011, we have a $40,733,000 receivable from Stop and Shop, of which $23,105,000 has been reserved.  We believe, after consultation with counsel, that the maximum reasonably possible loss is up to the total amount of the receivable of $40,733,000.

Exhibit 10.47

EXHIBIT A

Christopher G. Kennedy

Dear Mr. Kennedy:

This letter agreement shall set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) will engage you to provide consulting services to Vornado on an independent contractor basis.  This is the “Consulting Letter” referred to in the Separation and General Release Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) between you and Vornado dated August 5, 2011. 

            1.         Services.  During the Consulting Period (as defined in Section 2 below), Vornado hereby engages you as an independent contractor to provide to Vornado (a) assistance with the transition of your services in connection with your separation from service as an officer of Vornado (“Transition Services”), and (b) such additional services, as reasonably requested by Vornado (the “Advisory Services”, and together with the Transition Services, the “Services”).  Vornado will make an office and secretary available for your use during the Consulting Period.

            2.         Consulting Period.  The Consulting Period shall commence on the later to occur of (a) July 23, 2011, and (b) the date this letter agreement is countersigned by you; and shall expire on March 31, 2012.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consulting Period shall terminate immediately and without prior written notice if you (a) are reasonably determined by Vornado to be in material breach of this letter agreement or the Separation Agreement, or (b) commit any act or omission that involves dishonesty or disloyalty to Vornado or its affiliates (collectively, a “Termination Event”).   

            3.         Fees.  As fees for all Services rendered by you under this letter agreement, you shall receive consulting fees (“Consulting Fees”) payable monthly at the annual rate of $500,000.00 (prorated for partial months); provided, however, that the final monthly payment payable to you under this Agreement upon termination or expiration of the Consulting Period shall be subject to (i) your execution and delivery of the “Confirming Waiver and Release” referenced in the Separation Agreement in the time and manner provided thereby, and (ii) effectiveness of such Confirming Waiver and Release following the applicable revocation period.  All Consulting Fees under this letter agreement shall be payable without deduction for federal income, social security, or state or local income taxes.

            4.         Duties.  During the Consulting Period, you shall devote your best efforts and abilities and business time to the Consulting Services, to the extent required and in the manner requested by Vornado. 

                  5.      Independent Contractor.  It is expressly agreed that you are acting solely as an independent contractor in performing the Services.  Neither party to this letter agreement has any authority to bind or commit the other nor will either party’s acts or omissions be deemed the acts of the other.  Except to the extent provided by Vornado’s health policies, Vornado shall carry no worker's compensation insurance or any health or accident insurance to cover you.  Vornado shall not pay any contributions to Social Security, unemployment insurance, federal or state withholding taxes and you expressly waive any right to such participation or coverage.  By executing this letter agreement, you agree that you shall make such contributions and pay applicable taxes and hereby indemnify and hold harmless Vornado in the event of your failure to do so.

                  6.      Confidential Information.  By executing this letter agreement below, you agree that during the course of your providing services to Vornado as an independent contractor and at all times thereafter, you shall not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose, in whole or in part, any of Vornado’s trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, including tenant and customer lists and information, to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever other than as expressly permitted by Vornado in the course of your providing independent contractor services to Vornado.  By signing this letter agreement below, you further acknowledge and agree that Sections 9, 10 and 11 of the Employment Agreement between you and Vornado dated August 1, 2003, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”) survived the separation of your employment with Vornado, and shall continue to survive the termination of the Consulting Period, and nothing in this letter agreement shall be deemed to alter your obligations with respect thereto.  You hereby agree that for purposes of Section 10 of the Employment Agreement, the term “Restriction Period” as used therein shall be extended until the later of the Restriction Period as defined in such Section of the Employment Agreement or the one-year anniversary of the expiration of the Consulting Period.

                  7.  Entire Agreement.  This letter agreement, the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement and the Separation Agreement contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all agreements and understandings (whether oral or written) between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof.  This letter agreement may be modified by the parties hereto only by a written supplemental agreement executed by both parties. 

[signature page follows]

-2-

Kindly sign your name at the end of this letter agreement to signify your understanding and acceptance of these terms and that no one at Vornado has made any other representation to you.  The letter agreement, countersigned by you, must be returned to Vornado.  Vornado looks forward to your providing the Services. 

                                                                        Very truly yours,

                                                                        Vornado Realty Trust

                                                                        BY: /s/ Michael D. Fascitelli_____

Exhibit 10.48

SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Separation and General Release Agreement must be executed and returned to

Employer (Attn: Alan J. Rice, Senior Vice President, Corporation Counsel) on or before August 12, 2011.

            THIS SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Separation Agreement”) is entered into between CHRISTOPHER G. KENNEDY, an individual residing at 158 Melrose Ave, Kenilworth, IL 60043 (the “Employee”) and VORNADO REALTY TRUST, with an address at 210 Route 4 East, Paramus, New Jersey 07652 (the “Employer”).  Employer, together with its past, present and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, affiliated entities, related companies and divisions and each of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, employees, shareholders, trustees, members, partners, attorneys and agents (in each case, individually and in their official capacities), and each of their respective employee benefit plans (and such plans' fiduciaries, agents, administrators and insurers, individually and in their official capacities), as well as any predecessors, future successors or assigns or estates of any of the foregoing, is collectively referred to in this Separation Agreement as the “Released Parties.” 

1.         Separation of Employment.  Employee acknowledges and understands that Employee’s employment under the employment agreement dated as of August 1, 2003 between Employee and Employer, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”) is terminated July 22, 2011 (the “Separation Date”).  Employee further acknowledges and understands that Employee’s last day of employment with Employer is the Separation Date and that Employee has received all compensation and benefits to which Employee is entitled as a result of Employee’s employment, except as otherwise provided in this Separation Agreement. Employee understands that, except as otherwise provided in this Separation Agreement, Employee is entitled to nothing further from the Released Parties, including reinstatement by Employer or any of its affiliates. 

2.         Employee General Release of the Released Parties.  In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in Section 4 below and Employer’s agreement to engage Employee as an independent contractor under the Consulting Letter (as defined below in Section 5), Employee hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases, waives, discharges and gives up, to the full extent permitted by law, any and all Claims (as defined below) that Employee may have against any of the Released Parties, arising on or prior to the date of Employee’s execution and delivery of this Separation Agreement to Employer.  “Claims” means any and all actions, charges, controversies, demands, causes of action, suits, rights, and/or claims whatsoever for debts, sums of money, wages, salary, severance pay, commissions, fees, bonuses, unvested stock options, vacation pay, sick pay, fees and costs, attorneys fees, losses, penalties, damages, including damages for pain and suffering and emotional harm, arising, directly or indirectly, out of any promise, agreement (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement), offer letter, contract, understanding, common law, tort, the laws, statutes, and/or regulations of the States of Illinois, New Jersey, New York or any other state and the United States, including, but not limited to, federal and state wage and hour laws (to the extent waiveable), federal and state whistleblower laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (excluding COBRA), the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the federal False Claims Act, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance, the Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the New Jersey Family Leave Act, the New Jersey Civil Rights Act, the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act, the New Jersey False Claims Act,  the New York State Human Rights Laws, and the New York City Human Rights Laws, as each may be amended from time to time, whether arising directly or indirectly from any act or omission, whether intentional or unintentional.  This Section 2 releases all Claims including those of which Employee is not aware and those not mentioned in this Separation Agreement.  Employee specifically releases any and all Claims arising out of Employee’s employment with Employer or termination therefrom. Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by entering into this Separation Agreement, Employee is releasing and waiving any and all Claims, including, without limitation, Claims that Employee may have arising under ADEA, which have arisen on or before the date of Employee’s execution and delivery of this Separation Agreement to Employer.

3.         Representations; Covenant Not to Sue.  Employee hereby represents and warrants that (A) Employee has not filed, caused or permitted to be filed any pending proceeding (nor has Employee lodged a complaint with any governmental or quasi-governmental authority) against any of the Released Parties, nor has Employee agreed to do any of the foregoing, (B) Employee has not assigned, transferred, sold, encumbered, pledged, hypothecated, mortgaged, distributed, or otherwise disposed of or conveyed to any third party any right or Claim against any of the Released Parties which has been released in this Separation Agreement, and (C) Employee has not directly or indirectly assisted any third party in filing, causing or assisting to be filed, any Claim against any of the Released Parties.  Except as set forth in Section 12 below, Employee covenants and agrees that Employee shall not encourage or solicit or voluntarily assist or participate in any way in the filing, reporting or prosecution by herself or any third party of a proceeding or Claim against any of the Released Parties based upon or relating to any Claim released by Employee in this Separation Agreement. 

4.         Payment.  As good consideration for Employee’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of this Separation Agreement:

(i)         Employer shall pay Employee severance in an aggregate amount equal to $1,350,000 (less applicable withholdings and other customary payroll deductions) (collectively, the “Periodic Severance Payments”), payable as follows: (a) $675,000 (the “First Payment Amount”) plus interest calculated in the manner set forth below, payable on the first business day following the six month anniversary of the Separation Date, and (b) $675,000 payable ratably over the six month period commencing on the six month anniversary of the Separation Date, in accordance with the Employer’s customary payroll practices.  Interest will accrue on the First Payment Amount at a rate, per annum, equal to the applicable federal short-term rate (compounded monthly) in effect under Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on the Separation Date.  Interest payable on the First Payment Amount will be calculated as if the First Payment Amount would have been payable ratably over the first six months after the Separation Date and accrue on each such deemed ratable payment from the date such payment would have been paid (if it had been paid ratably).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is re-employed within 12 months following the Separation Date, Employee shall provide notice to the Employer and the Periodic Severance Payments shall cease; provided, however, that if the Employee obtains employment within six months following the Separation Date, Employee will be paid a pro rata portion of the First Payment Amount on the first business day following the six month anniversary of the Separation Date based on the number of days during such six month period that he did not have other employment;

-2-

(ii)        Employer shall pay Employee an amount equal to $193,699 (the “Bonus Severance Payment” and together with the Periodic Severance Payments, the “Separation Payments”) (less applicable withholdings and other customary payroll deductions) within ten (10) business days following the effectiveness of this Separation Agreement; and

(iii)       Employee’s 3,739 unvested Restricted LTIP Units (all of the unvested Restricted LTIP Units as of the Separation Date that had been awarded to Employee in lieu of cash bonuses) shall fully vest on, and not before, March 31, 2012, provided that Employee (i) has not breached this Separation Agreement or the Consulting Agreement, and (ii) executes a Waiver and Release (the “Confirming Waiver and Release”) substantially identical to this Separation Agreement and which has an effective date no earlier than March 31, 2012.  The Confirming Waiver and Release will be provided by Employer to Employee for review on or before March 1, 2012.

5.         Consulting Letter.  In further consideration of, and subject to, Employee’s execution, delivery, and non-revocation of this Agreement, Employer will agree to engage Employee, on an independent contractor basis, to perform consulting services to the Employer upon the terms and conditions set forth in a letter to Employee in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A  (the “Consulting Letter”). 

6.         Who is Bound.  Employer and Employee are bound by this Separation Agreement.  Anyone who succeeds to Employee’s rights and responsibilities, such as the executors of Employee’s estate, is bound and anyone who succeeds to Employer’s rights and responsibilities, such as its successors and assigns, is also bound.

7.         Cooperation With Investigations/Litigation.  Employee agrees, upon Employer’s request, to reasonably cooperate in any Employer investigation, litigation, arbitration, or regulatory proceeding regarding events that occurred during Employee’s tenure with Employer. Employee will make himself reasonably available to consult with Employer’s counsel, to provide information, and to appear to give testimony.  Employer will reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Employee incurs in extending such cooperation, so long as Employee provides advance written notice of Employee’s request for reimbursement and provides satisfactory documentation of the expenses.

8.         Confidentiality and Non Disparagement.  Employee agrees not to make any defamatory or derogatory statements concerning any of the Released Parties.  Provided inquiries are directed to Employer’s Human Resources Department, Employer shall disclose to prospective employers information limited to Employee’s dates of employment and last position held by Employee.  Employee confirms and agrees that Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose to any person or entity or use for Employee’s own benefit, any confidential information concerning the business, projects, finances or operations of Employer, its affiliates or any of its or their respective clients, customers and tenants; provided, however, that Employee’s obligations under this Section 8 shall not apply to information generally known in Employer’s industry through no fault of Employee or the disclosure of which is required by law after reasonable notice has been provided to Employer sufficient to enable Employer to contest the disclosure.  Confidential information shall include, without limitation, trade secrets, customer, client, prospect and tenant lists, details of contracts, pricing policies, operational materials, marketing plans or strategies, security and safety plans and strategies, project development, and any other non-public or confidential information of, or relating to, Employer or its affiliates.  Employee shall not reveal the amounts paid to Employee or the other terms of this Separation Agreement to anyone, except to Employee’s immediate family, legal and financial advisors and then only after securing the agreement of such individual to maintain the confidentiality of this Separation Agreement, or in response to a subpoena or other legal process, after reasonable notice has been provided to Employer sufficient to enable Employer to contest the disclosure.  Without limitation of the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that the terms of Sections 9, 10, and 11 of the Employment Agreement shall survive the Separation Date and remain in full force and effect.  Employee hereby agrees that for purposes of Section 10 of the Employment Agreement, the term “Restriction Period” as used therein shall be extended until the later of the Restriction Period as defined in such Section of the Employment Agreement or the one-year anniversary of the expiration of the Consulting Period. Employee hereby represents and warrants to Employer that Employee has at all times been in full compliance with the terms of Sections 9 and 10 of the Employment Agreement.

-4-

9.         Remedies.  If Employee breaches any term or condition of this Separation Agreement or any representation made by Employee in this Separation Agreement was false when made, it shall constitute a material breach of this Separation Agreement and, in addition to and not instead of the Released Parties’ other remedies hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, Employee shall be required to immediately, upon written notice from Employer, return the Separation Payments paid by Employer under Section 4 of this Separation Agreement, less the greater of: (A) $500; or (B) 10% of the Separation Payments paid by Employer hereunder.  Employee agrees that if Employee is required to return any of the Separation Payments, this Separation Agreement shall continue to be binding on Employee and the Released Parties shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Separation Agreement as if none of the Separation Payments had been repaid to Employer and Employer shall have no further obligations to Employee under Section 4 of this Separation Agreement and may terminate the Consulting Period (as defined under the Consulting Letter) and the Employer’s obligations under the Consulting Letter.  Further, in the event of a breach by Employee of his obligations under this Separation Agreement, Employee agrees to pay all of the Released Parties’ attorneys’ fees and other costs associated with enforcing the terms this Separation Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Employee shall have no automatic repayment obligations or obligation to pay the Released Parties’ attorneys’ fees and other costs associated with enforcing the terms of this Separation Agreement if Employee were to challenge the validity of the ADEA waiver only. 

10.       Employer Property.  Employee agrees to return to Employer all of Employer’s and its affiliates’ property in Employee’s possession, custody and/or control, including, but not limited to, all equipment, vehicles, computers, personal digital assistants, pass codes, keys, swipe cards, credit cards, documents or other materials, in whatever form or format, that Employee received, prepared, or helped prepare, except to the extent permitted to be retained by Employee during the Consulting Period set forth in the Consulting Letter.  Employee agrees that Employee will not retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions, computer disks, or excerpts thereof of Employer’s or its affiliates’ documents except to the extent permitted to be retained by Employee during the Consulting Period set forth in the Consulting Letter.

11.       Construction of Agreement.  In the event that one or more of the provisions contained in this Separation Agreement, the Consulting Letter or the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement shall for any reason be held unenforceable in any respect under the law of any state of the United States or the United States, such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Separation Agreement, but this Separation Agreement, the Consulting Letter, and the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement shall then be construed as if such unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein; provided, however, that if any court were to find that the waiver and release of Claims set forth in Section 2 of this Separation Agreement is unlawful or unenforceable, or was not entered into knowingly or voluntarily, Employee agrees, at Employer’s option, either to return the Separation Payments set forth in Section 4 of this Separation Agreement or to execute a waiver and release of Claims in a form satisfactory to Employer that is lawful and enforceable. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder, the Consulting Letter, or under the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  This Separation Agreement, the Consulting Letter, the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement, and any and all matters arising directly or indirectly herefrom shall be governed under the laws of the State of New York without reference to choice of law rules.  Employer and Employee consent to the sole jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of New York.  EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION CONCERNING THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR ANY AND ALL MATTERS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY HEREFROM, AND REPRESENT THAT THEY HAVE CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE OR HAVE CHOSEN VOLUNTARILY NOT TO DO SO SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THIS WAIVER.

-5-

12.       Acknowledgments.  Employer and Employee acknowledge and agree that:

            (A)  By entering in this Separation Agreement, Employee does not waive any rights or Claims that may arise after the date that Employee executes and deliver this Separation Agreement to Employer;

            (B)  This Separation Agreement shall not affect the rights and responsibilities of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) or similar federal or state agency to enforce ADEA or other laws, and further acknowledge and agree that this Separation Agreement shall not be used to justify interfering with Employee’s protected right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or similar federal or state agency.  Accordingly, nothing in this Separation Agreement shall preclude Employee from filing a charge with, or participating in any manner in an investigation, hearing or proceeding conducted by, the EEOC or similar federal or state agency, but Employee hereby waives any and all rights to recover under, or by virtue of, any such investigation, hearing or proceeding; 

(C)  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Separation Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Separation Agreement shall affect or be used to interfere with Employee’s protected right to test in any court, under the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, or like statute or regulation, the validity of the waiver of rights under ADEA set forth in this Separation Agreement; and

            (D)  Nothing in this Separation Agreement shall preclude Employee from exercising Employee’s rights, if any (i) under Section 601-608 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, popularly known as COBRA, or (ii)Employer’s 401(k) plan.

-6-

13        Opportunity For Review.   

            (A)       Employee is hereby advised and encouraged by Employer to consult with his own independent counsel before signing this Separation Agreement. Employee represents and warrants that Employee (i) has had sufficient opportunity to consider this Separation Agreement, (ii) has read this Separation Agreement, (iii) understands all the terms and conditions hereof, (iv) is not incompetent or had a guardian, conservator or trustee appointed for Employee, (v) has entered into this Separation Agreement of Employee’s own free will and volition, (vi) has duly executed and delivered this Separation Agreement, (vii) understands that Employee is responsible for Employee’s own attorneys’ fees and costs, (viii) has had the opportunity to review this Separation Agreement with counsel of his choice or has chosen voluntarily not to do so, (ix) understands that Employee has been given twenty-one days to review this Separation Agreement before signing this Separation Agreement and understands that he is free to use as much or as little of the 21-day period as he wishes or considers necessary before deciding to sign this Separation Agreement, (x) understands that if Employee does not sign and return this Separation Agreement to Employer (Attn: Alan J. Rice, Senior Vice President, Corporate Counsel) on or before August 12, 2011, Employer shall have no obligation to enter into this Separation Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to receive the Separation Payments and other benefits provided for under Section 4 of this Separation Agreement nor shall the Consulting Letter be effective, and the Separation Date shall be unaltered; and (xi) understands that this Separation Agreement is valid, binding, and enforceable against the parties hereto in accordance with its terms.

            (B)       This Separation Agreement shall be effective and enforceable on the eighth (8th) day after execution and delivery to Employer (Attn: Alan J. Rice, Senior Vice President, Corporate Counsel) by Employee.  The parties hereto understand and agree that Employee may revoke this Separation Agreement after having executed and delivered it to Employer (Attn: Alan J. Rice, Senior Vice President, Corporate Counsel), in writing, provided such writing is received by Employer at the address listed in this Separation Agreement above no later than 11:59 p.m. on the seventh (7th) day after Employee’s execution and delivery of this Separation Agreement to Employer.  If Employee revokes this Separation Agreement, it shall not be effective or enforceable, Employer shall not be obligated to engage Employee as an independent contractor pursuant to the Consulting Letter and Employee shall not be entitled to receive the Separation Payments and other benefits provided for under Section 4 of this Separation Agreement, and the Separation Date shall be unaltered.

We believe that the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2012 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Cleveland Medical Mart Development Project [Abstract]

Cleveland Medical Mart Development Project

18.       Cleveland Medical Mart Development Project

During 2010, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements with Cuyahoga County, Ohio (the “County”) to develop and operate the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center (the “Facility”), a 1,000,000 square foot showroom, trade show and conference center in Cleveland's central business district.  The County will fund the development of the Facility, using the proceeds it received from the issuance of general obligation bonds and other sources, up to the development budget of $465,000,000 and maintain effective control of the property.  During the 17-year development and operating period, our subsidiaries will receive net settled payments of approximately $10,000,000 per year, which are net of its $36,000,000 annual obligation to the County. Our subsidiaries' obligation has been pledged by the County to the bondholders, but is payable by our subsidiaries only to the extent that they first receive at least an equal payment from the County. Our subsidiaries engaged a contractor to construct the Facility pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract; although our subsidiaries are ultimately responsible for cost overruns, the contractor is responsible for all costs incurred in excess of its contract and has provided a completion guaranty. Construction of the Facility is expected to be completed in 2013. Upon completion, our subsidiaries are required to fund $11,500,000, primarily for tenant improvements, and they are responsible for operating expenses and are entitled to the net operating income, if any, of the Facility. The County may terminate the operating agreement five years from the completion of development and periodically thereafter, if our subsidiaries fail to achieve certain performance thresholds.

Weaccount for these agreements using criteria set forth in ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements, as our subsidiaries are providing development, marketing, leasing, and other property management related services over the 17-year term. We recognize development fees using the percentage of completion method of accounting. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011,werecognized $35,135,000 and $108,203,000 of revenue, respectively, which is offset by development costs expensed of $33,419,000 and $101,637,000, respectively.

20. Segment Information - continued
	Notes to preceding tabular information:
(1)	EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
(2)	Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax (benefit) expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.
(3)	The components of other EBITDA are summarized below. The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the "other" column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

Discontinued Operations

8. Discontinued Operations

On March 31, 2011, the receiver completed the disposition of the High Point Complex in North Carolina. In connection therewith, the property and related debt were removed from our consolidated balance sheet and we recognized a net gain of $83,907,000 on the extinguishment of debt.

During 2011, we sold 1140 Connecticut Avenue and 1227 25th Street for $127,000,000 in cash, which resulted in a $45,862,000 net gain,and threeretail properties in separate transactions for an aggregate of $40,990,000 in cash, which resulted in net gains aggregating $5,761,000.

In the third quarter of 2011, we reclassified the assets and liabilities and the combined results of operations of 350 West Mart Center, a 1.2 million square feet office building in Chicago, Illinois which is a part of our Merchandise Mart Properties segment and four retail properties, as “discontinued operations.”

The tables below set forth the assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations at September 30,2011 and December 31,2010, and their combined results of operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30,2011 and2010.

Our portfolio of marketable securities is comprised of debt and equity securities that are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are presented on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these securities are included in “other comprehensive (loss) income.” Gains and losses are recognized in earnings only upon the sale of the securities and are recorded based on the weighted average cost of such securities.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we sold certain marketable securities for aggregate proceeds of $19,301,000 and $155,118,000, resulting in net gains of $2,139,000 and $8,960,000, respectively, of which $0 and $5,052,000 was recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Investment in J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (“J.C. Penney”) (NYSE: JCP)

We own an economic interest in 23,400,000 J.C. Penney common shares, or10.9% of J.C. Penney's outstanding common shares. Below are the details of our investment.

We own 18,584,010 common shares at an average economic cost of $25.71 per share or $477,829,000 in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2011, these shares have an aggregate fair value of $497,680,000, based on J.C. Penney's closing share price of $26.78 per share at September 30, 2011. Of these shares, 15,500,000 were acquired through the exercise of a call option that was acquired on September 28, 2010 and settled on November 9, 2010. During the period in which the call option was outstanding and classified as a derivative instrument, we recognized $112,537,000 of income. Upon exercise of the call option, the GAAP basis of the 18,584,010 common shares we own increased to $31.77 per share, or $590,366,000 in the aggregate. These shares are included in marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized a $102,920,000 loss from the mark-to-market of these shares, which is included in “other comprehensive (loss) income,” based on the difference between the carrying amount of these shares of $600,600,000 at December 31, 2010 and the fair value of $497,680,000 at September 30, 2011.

We also own an economic interest in 4,815,990 common shares through a forward contract executed on October 7, 2010, at a weighted average strike price of $28.76 per share, or $138,492,000 in the aggregate. The contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 9, 2012. The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, upon one year's notice to us. The strike price per share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Mark-to-market adjustments on the underlying common shares are recognized in “interest and other investment (loss) income, net” on our consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized losses of $37,537,000 and $27,136,000, respectively, from the mark-to-market of the underlying common shares, based on J.C.Penney's closing share price of $26.78 per share at September 30, 2011.

On September 16, 2011, we entered into an agreement with J.C. Penney which enables us to increase our beneficial and/or economic ownership to up to 15.4% of J.C. Penney's outstanding common shares. We have agreed to vote any common shares we hold in excess of 9.9% of J.C. Penney's outstanding common shares in accordance with either the recommendation of the board of directors of J.C. Penney or in direct proportion to the vote of all other public shareholders of J.C. Penney (excluding shares affiliated with Pershing Square Capital Management L.P.).

We review our investment in J.C. Penney on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, J.C.

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

As of September 30, 2011, we own 32.7% of Toys. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys' fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our 32.7% share of Toys net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys' fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys does not differ materially from our share of the equity in the net assets of Toys on a purchase accounting basis.

On May 28, 2010, Toys filed a registration statement, as amended, with the SEC for the offering and sale of its common stock. The offering, if completed, would result in a reduction of our percentage ownership of Toys' equity. The size of the offering and its completion are subject to market and other conditions.

Below is a summary of Toys' latest available financial information on a purchase accounting basis:

Alexander's, Inc. (“Alexander's”) (NYSE: ALX)

As of September 30, 2011, we own 1,654,068 Alexander's common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander's common equity. We manage, lease and develop Alexander's properties pursuant to the agreements described below which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of September 30, 2011, Alexander's owed us $43,308,000 in fees under these agreements.

As ofSeptember 30, 2011, the fair value of our investment in Alexander's, based on Alexander's September 30,2011 closing share price of $361.02, was $597,152,000, or $406,875,000in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2011, 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 $59,188,000.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. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP)

As of September 30, 2011, we own18,468,969 Lexington common shares, or approximately 11.7% of Lexington's common equity. We account for our investment in Lexingtonunder the equity method because we believe we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington's operating and financial policies, based on, among other factors, our representation on Lexington's Board of Trustees and the level of our ownership in Lexington as compared to other shareholders. We record our pro rata share of Lexington's net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its consolidated financial statements.

Based on Lexington's September 30, 2011 closing share price of $6.54, the fair value of our investment in Lexington was $120,787,000, or $59,472,000in excess of the September 30, 2011 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of our investment in Lexington was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of Lexington by approximately $48,861,000. This basis difference resulted primarily from $107,882,000 of non-cash impairment charges recognized during 2008, partially offset by purchase accounting for our acquisition of an additional 8,000,000 common shares of Lexington in October 2008, of which the majority relates to our estimate of the fair values of Lexington's real estate (land and buildings) as compared to the carrying amounts in Lexington's consolidated financial statements. The basis difference related to the buildings is being amortized over their estimated useful lives as an adjustment to our equity in net income or loss of Lexington. This amortization is not material to our share of equity in Lexington's net income or loss. The basis difference attributable to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

The assets of these trusts (primarily commercial mortgage loans), which aggregate approximately $138.5 billion as of June 30,2011, are the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including us. Changes in the fair value of these assets each period are offset by changes in the fair value of the related liabilities through LNR's consolidated income statement. As of September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of our investment in LNR does not materially differ from our share of LNR's equity.

280 Park Avenue Joint Venture

On March 16, 2011, we formed a 50/50 joint venture with SL Green Realty Corp (“SL Green”) to own the mezzanine debt of 280 Park Avenue, a 1.2 million square foot office building located between 48th and 49th Streets in Manhattan (the “Property”). We contributed our mezzanine loan with a face amount of $73,750,000, and they contributed their mezzanine loans with a face amount of $326,250,000 to the joint venture. We equalized our interest in the joint venture with SL Green by paying them $111,250,000 in cash and assuming $15,000,000 of their debt. On May 17, 2011, as part of the recapitalization of the Property, the joint venture contributed its debt position for 99% of the common equity of a new joint venture which owns the Property. The new joint venture expects to spend$150,000,000 for re-tenanting and repositioning the Property. We account for our 49.5% equity interest in the Propertyunder the equity method of accountingfrom the date of recapitalization.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests [Abstract]

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests Policy [Text Block]

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets represent Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are comprised of Class A units and Series D-10, D-14, D-15 and D-16 (collectively, “Series D”) cumulative redeemable preferred units. Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets 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 our consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests 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 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares.

Commitments and Contingencies

19.       Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $180,000,000 annual aggregate.

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to 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 nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. 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. Coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures 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 our properties and expand our portfolio.

19.       Commitments and Contingencies – continued

       Other Commitments and Contingencies

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us. However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $151,959,000.

At September 30, 2011, $22,085,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities. Our 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 our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our 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.

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.

As part of the process of obtaining the required approvals to demolish and develop our 220 Central Park South property into a new residential tower, we have committed to fund the estimated project cost of approximately $400,000,000 to $425,000,000.In addition, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $264,000,000.

Litigation

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, including the matterreferred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005, that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court's decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court's decision. On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court's decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. A trial was held in November 2010 and closing arguments were held in March 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we have a $40,733,000 receivable from Stop & Shop, of which $23,105,000 has been reserved. We believe, after consultation with counsel, that the maximum reasonably possible loss is up to the total amount of the receivable of $40,733,000.

Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Literature Policy [Text Block]

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado, and the Operating Partnership and its consolidated partially owned entities. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado, and the Operating Partnership and its consolidated partially owned entities. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

12. Shareholders' Equity

On April 20, 2011, we sold 7,000,000 6.875% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement. On April 21, 2011, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,050,000 shares to cover over-allotments. On May 5, 2011 and August 5, 2011, we sold an additional 800,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively,at a price of $25.00 per share. We retained aggregate net proceeds of $239,037,000, after underwriters' discounts and issuance costs and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 9,850,000 Series J Preferred Units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series J Preferred Shares). Dividends on the Series J Preferred Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Series J Preferred Shares are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any of our properties or securities. On or after five years from the date of issuance (or sooner under limited circumstances), we, at our option, may redeem the Series J Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. The Series J Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us.

20. Segment Information - continued
	Notes to preceding tabular information:
(1)	EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
(2)	Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax (benefit) expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

13. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures 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; 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

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of(i) marketable securities, (ii) derivative positions in marketable equity securities,(iii) the assets of our deferred compensation plan, which are primarily marketable equity securities and equity investments in limited partnerships, (iv) Real Estate Fund investments, and (v) 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 financial assets and liabilities by the levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Mezzanine Loans Receivable [Abstract]

Mezzanine Loans Receivable

7. Mezzanine Loans Receivable

On March 2, 2011, we sold our mezzanine loan in the Tharaldson Lodging Companies for $70,848,000 in cash, which had a carrying amount of $60,416,000 and recognized a net gain of $10,474,000. The gain is included as a component of “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statement of income.

In the first quarter of 2011, we recognized $72,270,000 of income, representing the difference between the fair value of our 280 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan of $73,750,000, and its carrying amount of $1,480,000. The $72,270,000 of income, which is included in “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statement of income, is comprised of $63,145,000 from the reversal of the loan loss reserve and $9,125,000 of previously unrecognized interest income. Our decision to reverse the loan loss reserve was based on the increase in value of the underlying collateral. On March 16, 2011, we contributed this mezzanine loan to a 50/50 joint venture with SL Green (see Note 6 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities).

7. Mezzanine Loans Receivable - continued

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,thecarrying amount of mezzanine loans receivable was $156,365,000 and $202,412,000, respectively, net of allowances of $0 and $73,216,000, respectively. These loans have a weighted average interest rate of5.57% and maturities ranging from November 2011 to August 2015.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2011

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests [Abstract]

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets represent Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are comprised of Class A units and Series D-10, D-14, D-15 and D-16 (collectively, “Series D”) cumulative redeemable preferred units. Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets 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 our consolidated statements of changes in equity. Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable noncontrolling interests.

(Amounts in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	1,251,628
Net income		33,487
Distributions		(40,702)
Conversion of Class A units into common shares, at redemption value		(62,606)
Adjustments to carry redeemable Class A units at redemption value		232,099
Redemption of Series D-12 redeemable units		(13,000)
Other, net		16,316
Balance at September 30, 2010	$	1,417,222
Balance at December 31, 2010	$	1,327,974
Net income		47,364
Distributions		(38,393)
Conversion of Class A units into common shares, at redemption value		(38,220)
Adjustments to carry redeemable Class A units at redemption value		(114,628)
Redemption of Series D-11 redeemable units		(28,000)
Other, net		4,623
Balance at September 30, 2011	$	1,160,720

As of September 30,2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units was $934,720,000and $1,066,974,000, respectively.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests 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 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $55,052,000 and $55,097,000as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In 2011, we redeemed 1,400,000Series D-11 cumulative redeemable preferred units with a par value of $25.00 per unit, for an aggregate of $28,000,000 in cash. In 2010, we redeemed 800,000Series D-12 cumulative redeemable preferred unitswith a par value of $25.00 per unit,for an aggregate of $13,000,000 in cash.

(1)		Our convertible senior debentures require that upon conversion, the entire principal amount is to be settled in cash, and at our option, any excess value above the principal amount may be settled in cash or common shares. Based on the September 30, 2011 closing share price of our common shares and the conversion prices in the table above, there was no excess value; accordingly, no common shares would be issued if these securities were settled on this date. The number of common shares on which the aggregate consideration that would be delivered upon conversion is 65 and 1,206 common shares, respectively.
