SL Green Realty Corp. announced a new annual ordinary dividend of $2.47 per share for 2026, payable quarterly. The first payment of $0.6175 per share will be made on April 15 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 31 2026.
The dividend marks a shift from the company’s previous monthly dividend of $0.2575 per share, effective in fiscal year 2026, and reflects management’s confidence in its liquidity and cash‑flow generation.
The declaration follows a record first‑quarter office‑leasing period, with 8.4 million square feet leased over the past three years and a projected same‑store leased occupancy of almost 95 % by year‑end 2026.
Management highlighted a 2026 business plan that includes $2.5 billion of asset dispositions and $7.0 billion of refinancing, supported by a March 2026 extension of a $2 billion credit facility that lowered borrowing costs and extended maturities.
The $2.47 dividend yields approximately 6.6 % at the current share price of $37.48, positioning SL Green as an attractive income play in a competitive real‑estate market while preserving capital for opportunistic investments.
The dividend increase signals management’s intent to reward shareholders while maintaining flexibility for future acquisitions, debt extinguishments, and share repurchases, aligning with the company’s dual‑engine strategy of core office leasing and debt‑and‑preferred‑equity investments.
