Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) has agreed to sell its Rego Park I property in Queens, New York, to Northwell Health, Inc. The transaction values the vacant, three‑story, 338,000‑square‑foot building—built in 1959—along with a 1,236‑space parking garage that sits on 5.9 acres for a gross purchase price of $235.5 million. After closing costs and other adjustments, Alexander’s will receive net proceeds of $202 million.
The sale is a key component of Alexander’s portfolio‑optimization strategy. By divesting a non‑income‑generating asset, the company will free up capital that can be deployed to reduce leverage, refinance debt, or fund future acquisitions and capital returns. The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter of 2026, providing a timely liquidity boost that aligns with the firm’s broader focus on core, income‑producing properties.
Alexander’s has reported a decline in net income and Funds From Operations (FFO) for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 compared with 2024. The Rego Park I sale removes a vacant asset that had not contributed to earnings, helping to offset the recent downward trend in profitability and supporting the company’s goal of improving financial performance through asset rationalization.
The company’s portfolio includes five properties in the greater New York City metropolitan area, including 731 Lexington Avenue, the Rego Center complex (Rego Park I & II), The Alexander apartment tower, and a retail property in Flushing, NY. Alexander’s operations are managed by Vornado Realty Trust, and the sale to Northwell Health—an established healthcare provider—expands Northwell’s real‑estate footprint while allowing Alexander’s to concentrate on its core commercial assets.
The transaction underscores Alexander’s commitment to streamlining its holdings and enhancing shareholder value. With the proceeds, the company can pursue strategic initiatives that strengthen its balance sheet and position it for future growth in a competitive real‑estate market.
