         This Amendment No. 25 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D Statement
originally filed by Interstate Properties ("Interstate") on September 26, 1980
with respect to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), of
Alexander's, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). The statement on
Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended and supplemented and as amended and
supplemented hereby, remains in full force and effect.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

         (a), (f) This Statement is being filed by Interstate, a New Jersey
general partnership. Interstate owns approximately 15.1% of the outstanding
common shares of beneficial ownership of Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real
estate investment trust ("Vornado").

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a)-(b) Interstate owns 1,354,568 Shares (27.1% of the 5,000,850 Shares
reported by the Company as outstanding as of August 9, 1999 in its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1999). Interstate has sole
voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares. While Interstate may
be deemed to be a group with Vornado and Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership") and thus to beneficially own all Shares held by Vornado and the
Operating Partnership (1,602,168 Shares or 32.0%), Interstate does not have sole
or shared voting or dispositive power with respect to such Shares. Including the
Shares Vornado and the Operating Partnership beneficially own, Interstate would
own 2,956,736 Shares (59.1%). In addition, Mr. Steven Roth, a general partner of
Interstate, owns 9,700 Shares (0.2%), as to which he has sole voting and
dispositive power, and Mr. Russell B. Wight, Jr., a general partner of
Interstate, beneficially owns 9,500 Shares owned by the Wight Foundation (0.2%),
over which Mr. Wight holds sole voting and dispositive power.


                                      -3-

         (c) Other than the purchase by the Operating Partnership of 135,600
Shares on October 21, 1999 in a block trade reported on the New York Stock
Exchange, there have been no transactions in the Shares effected by Vornado, the
Operating Partnership or Interstate or any of the executive officers or trustees
of Vornado or general partners of Interstate or the Operating Partnership in the
past sixty days.

certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
