Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 6, 2008, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), announced that the Operating Partnership has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of the $300 million principal amount of its 7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 15, 2009 (the “Notes”). The consideration payable for the Notes is $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the payment date for the Notes purchased in the Tender Offer, which is expected to be the second business day following the Expiration Time (as defined below). Additional terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 6, 2008 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal.

The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, November 14, 2008 unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”). Under certain circumstances, and as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase, the Operating Partnership may terminate the Offer before the Expiration Time. Any tendered Notes may be withdrawn prior to, but not after, the Expiration Time and withdrawn Notes may be re-tendered by a holder at any time. The Operating Partnership expects to use available cash and borrowings under its $775 million unsecured revolving credit facility to fund its purchase of Notes in the Tender Offer. The Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer are expected to be cancelled.

A copy of the General Partner’s press release announcing the Tender Offer is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
