Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Operating Partnership received a contribution of interest in the real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the management, leasing and construction companies which are referred to as the Service Corporation. All of the management, leasing and construction services that are provided to the properties that are wholly-owned by us and that are provided to certain joint ventures are conducted through SL Green Management LLC and SL Green Management Corp., respectively, which are 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to minimize the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our" and "us" means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2021, noncontrolling investors held, in the aggregate, a 5.50% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are the primary beneficiary. See Note 11, "Noncontrolling Interests on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements." On December 4, 2020, our Board of Directors declared an ordinary dividend and a special dividend (together, "the Total Dividend"). The Total Dividend was paid on January 15, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 15, 2020 ("the Record Date"). Shareholders had the opportunity to elect to receive the Total Dividend in the form of all cash or all stock, subject to proration if either option was oversubscribed. As a result of the elections made, the cash option was oversubscribed and was prorated. Shareholders who elected to receive cash received, for each share of common stock they owned as of the Record Date, approximately $0.3735 in cash and 0.0279 shares of common stock. Shareholders who elected to receive shares received, for each share of common stock they owned as of the Record Date, approximately 0.0343 shares of common stock. The number of shares issued was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price of SLG's common stock between January 5-7, 2021, of $58.15 per share. To mitigate the dilutive impact of the common stock issued in the special dividend, the Board of Directors also authorized a reverse stock split, which was effective after markets closed on January 20, 2021. On January 8, 2021, a committee of the Board of Directors calculated the ratio for the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as 1.02918-for-1. After the issuance of the dividend and the completion of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding was equivalent to the number of total shares outstanding on the Record Date (not including any issuances or repurchases that occurred following the Record Date, as well as any fractional shares that would have been issued but for which cash-in-lieu was paid). However, on a relative basis, some individual shareholders may have more shares of SLG’s common stock, and some individual shareholders may have fewer shares of our common stock, depending on their individual elections to receive cash or stock and as a result of the cash option being oversubscribed. All share-related references and measurements including the number of shares outstanding, share prices, number of shares repurchased, earnings per share, dividends per share, and share-based compensation awards, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of September 30, 2021, we owned the following interests in properties in the New York metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan. Our investments located outside of Manhattan are referred to as the Suburban properties:

(1)The weighted average occupancy for commercial properties represents the total occupied square footage divided by the total square footage at acquisition. The weighted average occupancy for residential properties represents the total occupied units divided by the total available units. Properties under construction are not included in the calculation of weighted average occupancy. As of September 30, 2021, we also managed two office buildings owned by third parties encompassing approximately 2.1 million square feet (unaudited), and held debt and preferred equity investments with a book value of $1.1 billion, excluding less than $0.1 billion of debt and preferred equity investments and other financing receivables that are included in balance sheet line items other than the Debt and preferred equity investments line item. Partnership Agreement In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or the Operating Partnership Agreement, we allocate all distributions and profits and losses in proportion to the percentage of ownership interests of the respective partners, subject to the priority distributions with respect to preferred units and special provisions that apply to Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Units. As the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership, we are required to take such reasonable efforts, as determined by us in our sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by us to minimize any Federal income or excise tax at the Company level. Under the Operating Partnership Agreement, each limited partner has the right to redeem units of limited partnership interests for cash, or if we so elect, shares of SL Green's common stock on a one-for-one basis. Basis of Quarterly Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2021 and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Subsequent Events In October 2021, the Company closed on the sale of 590 Fifth Avenue for a gross sales price of $103.0 million.
