NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG), Manhattan’s largest office landlord, today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized an increase to the size of its share repurchase program by an additional $500 million of the Company’s common stock, bringing the program to a total of $3.5 billion.

“We believe the stock price continues to significantly lag behind the real financial value of the platform. So we intend to continue to invest in a strategic share repurchase program with the proceeds from asset sales as we believe strongly that using incremental capital to buy our stock provides our shareholders the highest return on investment,” said Marc Holliday, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SL Green.
