Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

        On November 12, 2004, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), repaid its $150 million portfolio mortgage loan with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) and entered into a new $150 million mortgage financing (the “New Mortgage Loan”) with the same lender.

        The essential terms of the New Mortgage Loan provide for:

        1.   A maturity date of January 15, 2010;

        2.   An interest rate of 4.78 percent, which is a reduction of 212 basis points from the previous loan; and

        3.   A reduction in the number of properties being secured by the New Mortgage Loan from eleven to seven.

        The New Mortgage Loan contains customary events of default, including among others, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; inaccuracy of representations; violation of covenants; and certain bankruptcy events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the New Mortgage Loan, Prudential may declare the entire outstanding balance of the New Mortgage Loan (including all accrued and unpaid interest, any prepayment premium and late charges and any other amounts) to be immediately due and payable.

        A copy of the Amended and Restated Master Loan Agreement dated as of November 12, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
