SL Green Realty is a real estate company that owns and manages office buildings in New York City. It rents space to businesses — including law firms, financial companies, and media groups — that need offices in Manhattan. SL Green is Manhattan's largest office landlord, owning or holding interests in dozens of properties across the borough.

The company makes money by collecting rent from its tenants under long-term lease agreements, which provides relatively steady income. It operates almost entirely in New York City, giving it deep local expertise but also heavy concentration in a single market. SL Green has structured itself as a Real Estate Investment Trust, meaning it must pay out most of its taxable income as dividends to shareholders. The biggest risk the company faces is the ongoing shift toward remote and hybrid work, which has reduced demand for office space and put pressure on occupancy rates and rental pricing across Manhattan.
