TORONTO, ONTARIO and NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2010) - The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:VNO) announced today a joint venture transaction in which CPPIB has acquired a 45% common ownership interest in 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue (the Warner Building) and 1101 17th Street NW, two prime office properties in Washington D.C. owned by Vornado. The transaction represents CPPIB's first real estate investment in the Central Business District of Washington, D.C.

CPPIB has made an equity investment of US$91 million and assumed 45% of the existing mortgage indebtedness secured by the properties in exchange for its 45% common ownership interest in the assets, which have a total implied value of US$526 million.

Vornado realized a net gain of approximately US$54 million on the sale of the Warner Building to be recognized in the fourth quarter. The gain on 1101 17th Street will be recognized when Vornado monetizes its investment. Vornado will retain its 55% ownership interest and continue to manage and lease these properties.
