SL Green Realty shows recovery momentum with record leasing. The Manhattan-focused REIT achieved strong Q1 leasing activity and mark-to-market spreads, with same-store occupancy expected to reach 95% by year-end. Management implemented a 20% dividend cut, freeing approximately $50 million for accretive capital allocation and debt reduction. Refinancing efforts are lowering borrowing costs and extending maturity schedules, strengthening the balance sheet. While geopolitical and political uncertainties present headwinds for the office sector, current valuation levels appear to reflect substantial risk already. The combination of aggressive leasing execution, portfolio quality, and financial restructuring positions SLG for potential recovery in Manhattan's commercial real estate market.
