                         AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO SCHEDULE 13D
             RELATING TO THE COMMON SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST OF
                            PRIME GROUP REALTY TRUST

         Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"), Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership") and Vornado PS, L.L.C. ("Vornado PS" and, collectively with
Vornado and the Operating Partnership, the "Reporting Persons") hereby amend
their Statement on Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Common Shares of
Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Shares"), of Prime Group
Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Issuer"). This
Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 5") should be read in
conjunction with the Statement on Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on
November 2, 2001 (the "Initial Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to
Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on November 20, 2001, by Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on December 19, 2001, by
Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on December 21,
2001 and by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on
December 27, 2001 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 5
amends the Schedule 13D only with respect to the items listed below. Unless
otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to them in the Initial Schedule 13D.

         Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, each of the Reporting
Persons declares that the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an
admission that such Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or
13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any Common Shares.

         Any disclosures made herein with respect to persons other than the
Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making appropriate
inquiry.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

         Item 4 is hereby amended by deleting the last two sentences of the
fourth paragraph of Item 4 and by adding the following paragraph at the
end of Item 4:

         On January 4, 2002, the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware issued an order staying the Bankruptcy Court's dismissal of the
Borrower's bankruptcy petition pending the Borrower's appeal to the District
Court. The order resulted in reinstating the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy
Code. Accordingly, Vornado PS has canceled the Foreclosure Auction previously
scheduled for January 22, 2002. Vornado PS and the Borrower have agreed to
complete the briefing of the appeal by January 18, 2002.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end of
paragraph (c) thereof:

         No transactions in the Common Shares were effected by Reporting Persons
since December 27, 2001, except to the extent that such transactions may be
deemed to have occurred as described in Item 4.


                                       -5-

                                   SIGNATURES

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this
amendment to Schedule 13D is true, complete and correct.

Dated: January 15, 2002
