    --  Increased office same property NOI by 4.2% (on a straight-line
        rent basis)

    --  Increased consolidated office rent performance on renewal and
        replacement space 15.4% (on a straight-line rent basis)

    --  Completed approximately $569 million of investments and
        approximately $470 million of dispositions in the quarter -
        capping off a year in which the Company completed
        approximately $1.3 billion of investments and approximately
        $900 million of joint ventures and non-core asset dispositions

Commenting on the Company's performance, Scott Rechler, Reckson's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "2005 was an exceptional year for Reckson, not only for what we accomplished but also for how we positioned the Company for future growth. We continued to generate sector leading portfolio performance, record investment activity and execute on our value creation activities. In addition, during 2005, we executed a series of strategic initiatives that we believe will position Reckson for continued outperformance. We enhanced our capital recycling capabilities by becoming the first U.S. REIT to independently launch an Australian LPT, we 'match funded' almost $2 billion of transactions that will enhance the internal growth prospects and quality profile of our core portfolio, and we accelerated the execution of our value creation pipeline that will provide us with almost 2 million square feet of prime inventory to lease in this strong market environment."

A reconciliation of net income allocable to common shareholders to FFO is in the financial statements accompanying this press release. Net income allocable to common shareholders is the GAAP measure the Company believes to be the most directly comparable to FFO.

    --  Signed a long-term lease with Citibank to occupy approximately
        203,000 square feet of the Company's newly completed ground-up
        development project at 68 South Service Road, in Melville,
        Long Island, bringing the building to approximately two-thirds
        occupancy significantly ahead of forecast. Reckson completed
        base building construction of 68 South Service Road, an
        approximate 300,000 square foot Class A office building, ahead
        of schedule during the fourth quarter of 2005. Reckson
        anticipates a total investment at 68 South Service Road of
        approximately $64 million and a stabilized net operating
        income (NOI) yield of approximately 10%. The building is
        situated adjacent to 58 South Service Road which was developed
        by the Company in 2001 and is 95% occupied. 68 South Service
        Road completes the three building, 707,000 square foot,
        Reckson Executive Office Park.

    Strategic Initiatives

    --  Closed tranche II of the Australian listed property trust
        transaction with Reckson New York Property Trust (the Trust)
        (ASX: RNYCA), a Reckson-sponsored Australian listed property
        trust. In the tranche II closing, Reckson sold three suburban
        core plus office properties containing 760,986 square feet for
        approximately $84.6 million, including the assignment of
        approximately $20.1 million of mortgage debt. The tranche II
        closing is part of a broader transaction in which Reckson has
        agreed to sell a 75% interest in 25 suburban core plus office
        properties located in the New York Tri-State area for a total
        sales price of $563 million. Reckson will retain a 25%
        indirect interest in the joint venture that will own these
        properties. In September 2005, Reckson closed on tranche I of
        the transaction when the Company sold 17 core plus office
        properties for approximately $367 million. The final tranche
        of the transaction is scheduled to be completed in October
        2006 when the Company will sell the remaining five properties
        to the joint venture. Subsequent to the closing of tranche II,
        approximately $25.1 million of the proceeds are being held by
        a qualified intermediary in anticipation of the acquisition of
        a replacement property, thereby allowing Reckson to defer the
        gain on some of the property sales under Section 1031 of the
        Internal Revenue Code.

    Acquisition Activity

    --  Acquired a 1.6 million square foot office portfolio,
        consisting of 14 buildings, concentrated within five business
        parks, located in Westchester County, for approximately $255
        million, or $163 per square foot, representing a discount to
        replacement cost in excess of 35%. The portfolio is
        approximately 70% occupied, compared to an approximate 91%
        occupancy rate for the balance of Reckson's Westchester office
        portfolio. This acquisition reflects Reckson's focus on
        acquiring properties that offer the opportunity to apply the
        Company's expertise to create value. Reckson is uniquely
        equipped to increase the portfolio's value by effectively
        addressing its vacancies, increasing rents, leveraging the
        Company's scale to generate significant operating expense
        efficiencies and to capitalize on the value-added nature of
        the transaction based on its mix of properties in need of
        redevelopment and repositioning. Reckson anticipates that
        these operating initiatives will increase the portfolio's
        initial GAAP net operating income (NOI) yield of approximately
        5% to approximately 9% upon stabilization.

Shortly after closing, Reckson executed a contract to sell one of the properties in this portfolio, 3 Gannett Drive, White Plains, a 161,000 square foot building, for approximately $35.3 million, or $219 per square foot. Giving effect to this sale, the purchase price on this office portfolio is approximately $220 million, or $156 per square foot. It is anticipated the closing will take place during the first quarter of 2006.

    Disposition Activity

    --  Entered into a contract to sell One Orlando Center, a 355,000
        square foot office building, located at 800 North Magnolia
        Avenue, Orlando, Florida, for $70 million, or approximately
        $197 per square foot, representing a cap rate of approximately
        5.3%. This non-strategic operating asset is located outside of
        Reckson's core New York Tri-State area markets. Reckson
        estimates the Company will report a GAAP gain of approximately
        $9.8 million on the sale. It is anticipated the closing will
        take place during the first quarter of 2006.

    Previously Announced Activity Completed During Fourth Quarter

    --  Completed the recapitalization of One Court Square, a 1.4
        million square foot, 50-story, Class A trophy office tower
        located in Long Island City, with the sale of a 70% joint
        venture interest in the property to a group of institutional
        investors led by JPMorgan Investment Management, for
        approximately $329.7 million, including the assignment of
        $220.5 million of debt. Reckson acquired this office tower in
        May 2005, for a total investment of $471 million, at a 6.5%
        initial unleveraged cash flow yield and a 6.8% unleveraged
        GAAP NOI yield. Based on the promoted structure and the sale
        of the 70% interest, Reckson anticipates an unleveraged GAAP
        NOI yield of approximately 8% and a leveraged GAAP return on
        equity of approximately 13%.

    --  Completed the disposition of 100 Wall Street, a 462,200 square
        foot office building located in New York City, for
        approximately $134 million, or $290 per square foot. 100 Wall
        Street, an operating asset held outside Reckson's core midtown
        Manhattan holdings, has substantial near-term rollover with
        approximately 85,000 square feet, net of space already
        committed, expiring over the next 12 months. Reckson provided
        the purchaser with a mezzanine loan in the amount of $30.0
        million that bears interest at 15% per annum, has a term of
        two years and an approximate 85% loan-to-cost. Reckson has
        recognized a GAAP gain of approximately $46.1 million on the
        sale. In conjunction with this transaction, Reckson obtained a
        release of the existing mortgage on 100 Wall Street and
        provided two of the Company's suburban office properties as
        replacement collateral.

    --  Acquired a 1.1 million square foot, Class A trophy office
        complex consisting of two 15-story office towers located in
        Uniondale, Long Island, for approximately $240 million.
        Reckson Plaza, formerly known as EAB Plaza, is the largest and
        most recognizable office complex on Long Island and is
        approximately 90% occupied and is leased to high credit
        quality tenants. Reckson expects to generate an initial GAAP
        NOI yield of approximately 6.5% and anticipates that its
        property operating initiatives will result in cumulative
        annual NOI growth in excess of 5.0%.

    --  Acquired a 118,000 square foot, four-story, Class A office
        building, located at 711 Westchester Avenue, White Plains,
        Westchester, for approximately $24.8 million, or $210 per
        square foot. Built in 1978, and fully renovated in 1997, the
        building is a high quality asset situated on 10 acres and
        offers a superior quality amenity package. The property is
        well-located off I-287, at the intersection of I-684 and the
        Hutchinson River Parkway, along the I-287 Platinum Mile
        Corridor, in one of the five business parks which are part of
        the Company's newly acquired 1.6 million square foot office
        portfolio in Westchester County. The property is currently 94%
        occupied and after the rollover of leases totaling
        approximately 50,000 square feet in 2007, Reckson expects to
        generate a stabilized NOI yield of approximately 8.2%.

    --  Sold a single story flex-use office building, totaling 35,000
        square feet, located at 48 Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington,
        Long Island, to a user, for approximately $6.4 million, or
        $182 per square foot. Reckson has recognized a GAAP gain of
        approximately $2.8 million on the sale.

This guidance is based upon management's current estimates. Actual results may differ materially. This information involves forward-looking statements which are subject to uncertainties noted below in the section titled Forward-Looking Statements.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Funds from Operations (FFO)

The Company believes that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. The Company presents FFO because it considers it an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income or loss, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable properties plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Since all companies and analysts do not calculate FFO in a similar fashion, the Company's calculation of FFO presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies.
