  NEW YORK, March 6, 1995 -- Alexander's,
Inc.
href="(NYSE:" target=_new>http://www.secapl.com/cgi-bin/edgarlink?ALX">(NYSE:ALX)  
announced
today that, following receipt of bankruptcy court approval of the loan and
management agreement described below, Vornado Realty Trust has completed the
previously announced purchase of the 1,353,468 shares of common stock of
Alexander's owned by Citibank, N.A.  
As a result, Vornado and its affiliate,
Interstate Properties, now own 56.4% of Alexander's.  Steven Roth, the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, has become Chief Executive
Officer of Alexander's.  Russell Wight, Jr. and David Mandelbaum have been
elected as Directors of Alexander's, replacing two of the three vacancies
created as a result of the resignations of the Citibank directors.  Mr. Roth
and Interstate Properties, a partnership in which Messrs. Roth, Wight and
Mandelbaum are general partners, together own 34.5% of the outstanding common
shares of beneficial interest of Vornado and 27.2% of Alexander's common
stock.  Vornado and Interstate are restricted for three years from owning in
excess of two-third of Alexander's common stock without the consent of the
independent directors of Alexander's.  Alexander's will elect to become a REIT
for its 1995 fiscal year.


  In addition, Vornado and First Fidelity Bank, N.A. have entered into
agreements to loan Alexander's an aggregate of $75 million, on a secured
basis, for a three year term.  $45 million of these loans will be funded by
Vornado.  Alexander's will use the loan proceeds, expected to be funded by the
end of March 1995, to repay allowed general unsecured creditor claims, to
repay certain loans and for working capital and real estate development costs.
Alexander's expects that it will need additional financings, which have been
concluded or are in various stages of negotiation, to complete planned
development activities.


  Alexander's has also entered into the previously announced three- year
comprehensive management and development agreement with Vornado, under which
Vornado will manage all of Alexander's business affairs and be responsible for
the management and development of Alexander's properties, and has extended an
existing agreement under which Vornado acts as Alexander's exclusive leasing
agent for the same three year term.
