ALL REFERENCES IN THIS PROSPECTUS TO "UNITS," REFER TO THE UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST IN MACK-CALI REALTY, L.P. INFORMATION ABOUT US We are a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or "REIT." We own and operate a portfolio predominantly comprised of class A office and office/flex properties located primarily in the Northeast, as well as commercial real estate leasing, management, acquisitions, development and construction businesses. Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. conducts substantially all of the operations relating to such properties. As of March 15, 2001 our portfolio consisted of 267 properties, aggregating approximately 28.5 million square feet, plus developable land. Our properties are comprised of (a) 258 wholly-owned or company-controlled properties consisting of 156 office buildings and 89 office/flex buildings (properties whose square footage predominantly consist of office space, a part of which is utilized as warehouse space), totaling approximately 26.7 million square feet, six industrial/warehouse buildings aggregating approximately 387,400 square feet, two multi-family residential complexes consisting of 451 units, two stand-alone retail properties and three land leases and (b) eight office buildings and one office/flex building, aggregating approximately 1.4 million square feet, owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which we have investment interests. As of December 31, 2000, our office, office/flex and industrial/warehouse properties not owned by unconsolidated joint ventures were approximately 96.8% leased to over 2,400 tenants. Our properties currently are located in 11 states, primarily in the northeast, plus the District of Columbia. Our strategy has been to focus our acquisition, operation and development of office properties in markets and sub-markets where we believe we are, or can become, a significant and preferred owner and operator. We believe that our properties have excellent locations and access and that we effectively maintain and professionally manage them. As a result, we believe that our properties attract high quality tenants and achieve among the highest rental, occupancy and tenant retention rates within their markets. We will continue this strategy by expanding, through acquisitions and/or development, in northeast markets and sub-markets where we have, or can achieve, similar status. Management believes that the recent trend towards increasing rental rates in our sub-markets continues to present opportunities for internal growth. Management also believes that its extensive market knowledge provides us with a significant competitive advantage which is further enhanced by our strong reputation for, and emphasis on, delivering highly responsive, professional management services. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on May 24, 1994. Our executive offices are located at 11 Commerce Drive, Cranford, New Jersey 07016 and our telephone number is (908) 272-8000. We have an internet website address at http://www.mack-cali.com. USE OF PROCEEDS We are registering the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus for the account of the selling shareholders identified in the section of this prospectus entitled "Selling Shareholders." All of the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock will go to the shareholders who offer and sell their shares of such stock. We will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale of such shares. 5 INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our charter and bylaws contain certain provisions to indemnify our directors and officers against liability incurred by them as a result of their services as directors and/or officers. We have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, our indemnification of our directors, officers or controlling persons for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and therefore is unenforceable. THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The selling shareholders are persons listed in the table below who may receive shares of our common stock in exchange for their units of limited partnership interest in Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. We are registering for the ten selling shareholders the resale of an aggregate of 122,062 shares of our common stock, which we will issue to such selling shareholders upon their redemption of 122,062 common units for an equal number of shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms described in this section of the prospectus. In connection with our acquisition of a 0.1% interest in a joint venture with G&G Martco, we issued 437 common units to one of the selling shareholders. In connection with our acquisition of 28.1 acres of vacant land located in Roseland, New Jersey, we issued 121,624 common units to eight of the selling shareholders. In connection with our use of a New Jersey broker of record, we issued one common unit to one of the selling shareholders. Holders of common units may require Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. to redeem all or part of their common units for (1) cash, based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of such redemption or (2) shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. The selling shareholders may convert their common units into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis after the one year anniversary date of the issuance of the common units. We may assume Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.'s obligation to redeem the common units in exchange for, at our election, either cash or shares of common stock. However, we may not pay for such redemption with shares of common stock if, after giving effect to such redemption, any person would beneficially or constructively own shares in excess of the ownership limit described in "Restrictions on Transfer". The following table sets forth, as of March 15, 2001, (1) the name of each selling shareholder, (2) the number of shares of our common stock owned by each selling shareholder, (3) the maximum number of shares of common stock which the selling shareholders can sell pursuant to this prospectus and (4) the number of shares of common stock that the selling shareholders would own if they sold all their shares registered by this prospectus. We have not issued any shares of our common stock underlying the selling shareholders' units offered by this prospectus to the selling shareholders. Each selling shareholder will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of his or her shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. Since the selling shareholders may sell all or part of their shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus and this offering is not being underwritten on a firm commitment basis, we cannot estimate the number and percentage of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders will hold at the end of the offering covered by this prospectus. 6 THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

7 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Once the selling shareholders have exchanged their common units for shares of common stock, the selling shareholders may from time to time offer and sell their shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. We have registered their shares for resale to provide their transferees with freely tradable securities. However, registration does not necessarily mean that they will offer and sell any of their shares. OFFER AND SALE OF SHARES The selling shareholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may offer and sell their shares of common stock in the following manner: - on the New York Stock Exchange or other exchanges on which the common stock is traded at the time of sale; - in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price; or - in privately negotiated transactions. The selling shareholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may sell their shares of common stock in one or more of the following transactions: - a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; - a broker or dealer may purchase as principal and resell such shares for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; - an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange; and - ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. The selling shareholders may accept and, together with any agent of the selling shareholders, reject in whole or in part any proposed purchase of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. BROKERS AND DEALERS SELLING THROUGH BROKERS AND DEALERS. The selling shareholders may select brokers or dealers to sell their shares of common stock. Brokers or dealers that the selling shareholders engage may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in selling such shares. The selling shareholders may give such brokers or dealers commissions or discounts in amounts to be negotiated immediately before any sale. In connection with such sales, these brokers or dealers, any other participating brokers or dealers, and certain pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest, may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under such rule rather than pursuant to this prospectus. SUPPLEMENTAL PROSPECTUS REGARDING MATERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. If and when a selling shareholder notifies us that he, she or it has entered into a material arrangement with a broker or dealer for the sale of his, her or its shares of common stock offered by this prospectus through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplemental prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act. The supplemental prospectus will provide: (1) the name(s) of each such selling shareholder(s) and of the participating broker-dealer(s); (2) the number of shares of common stock involved; (3) the price at which such shares were sold; (4) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such 8 broker-dealer(s), where applicable; (5) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and (6) other facts material to the transaction. COMMISSIONS. The selling shareholders will pay any sales commissions or other seller's compensation applicable to such transactions. SUPPLEMENTAL PROSPECTUS REGARDING SALES To the extent required, we will set forth in a prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus or, if appropriate, in a post-effective amendment, the following information: (1) the amount of the shares of common stock to be sold; (2) purchase prices; (3) public offering prices; (4) the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters; and (5) any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer. The selling shareholders and agents who execute orders on their behalf may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. A portion of any proceeds of sales and discounts, commissions or other seller's compensation may be deemed to be underwriting compensation for purposes of the Securities Act. COMPLIANCE WITH STATE SECURITIES LAWS We have not registered or qualified the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus under the laws of any country, other than the United States. In certain states, the selling shareholders may not offer or sell their shares of common stock unless (1) we have registered or qualified such shares for sale in such states; or (2) we have complied with an available exemption from registration or qualification. Also, in certain states, to comply with such states' securities laws, the selling shareholders can offer and sell their shares of common stock only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY EXCHANGE ACT RULES AND REGULATIONS Certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the related rules and regulations will apply to the selling shareholders and any other person engaged in a distribution of shares of the common stock. Such provisions may (1) limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders or such other person; (2) affect the marketability of such stock; and (3) affect the brokers' and dealers' market-making activities with respect to such stock. PAYMENT OF INCIDENTAL EXPENSES We will pay substantially all of the expenses related to the registration of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. We estimate such expenses to be approximately $28,823.61. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK Pursuant to our charter, we have the authority to issue 190,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. At March 15, 2001, 56,875,313 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. COMMON STOCK VOTING, DIVIDEND AND OTHER RIGHTS. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to stockholders for a vote, subject to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on transfer of such stock, discussed in "Restrictions on Transfer" below. 9 Holders of shares of common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. This means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of the directors then standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. Holders of shares of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities. All shares of common stock will, when issued, be duly authorized, fully paid, and nonassessable. We may pay dividends to the holders of shares of common stock if and when our board of directors declares such dividends out of legally available funds. RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION. Under Maryland law, our stockholders generally are not liable for our debts or obligations. Upon our liquidation, subject to the right of any holders of preferred stock to receive preferential distributions, each holder of common stock may participate pro rata in the assets remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for, all of our known debts and liabilities. Such debts and liabilities may arise from our status as general partner of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Under our charter, with certain exceptions, no person may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, more than 9.8 percent of the value of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock. See "Restrictions on Transfer" below. TRANSFER AGENT. Equiserve Trust Company, N.A. is the registrar and transfer agent for our common stock. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OWNERSHIP LIMIT. For us to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code, we must meet the following requirements concerning the ownership of outstanding shares of our capital stock: - five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) may not collectively own, directly or indirectly, by virtue of the application of constructive ownership rules, more than 50 percent of the value of our outstanding capital stock during the last half of a taxable year; and - at least 100 persons must beneficially own our capital stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year of less than 12 months. Further, under our charter, subject to certain exceptions, no holder of shares of our capital stock may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, more than 9.8 percent by value of our outstanding capital stock. Such limit will be referred to in this prospectus as the "Ownership Limit." EXEMPTION FROM OWNERSHIP LIMIT. Our board of directors may exempt a person from the Ownership Limit if the board of directors or our tax counsel is satisfied that such ownership will not then or in the future jeopardize our status as a real estate investment trust. To obtain such exemption, the intended transferee of shares of our capital stock must (1) give us written notice of the proposed transfer and (2) furnish such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings, agreements and information as the board of directors may require no later than the 15th day before any transfer which could cause the intended transferee's direct or beneficial ownership of shares to exceed the Ownership Limit. If the board of directors decides that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust, then the restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply. 10 NULL AND VOID TRANSFERS. A transfer of shares of capital stock shall be null and void and the intended transferee of such shares will not acquire any rights in such shares if the transfer would: - result in such transferee beneficially owning shares of capital stock in excess of the Ownership Limit; - result in our capital stock being owned, directly or indirectly, by fewer than 100 persons; or - result in our being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. CERTIFICATE LEGEND REFERRING TO RESTRICTIONS. All certificates representing shares of our common stock will bear a legend referring to the restrictions described in the above section entitled "Restrictions on Transfer--Null and Void Transfer." REQUIRED DISCLOSURES BY STOCKHOLDERS. Every owner (including any beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by another person as nominee for such beneficial owner, as well as any such nominee with respect to such beneficial owner) of more than five percent (or such lower percentage as the Internal Revenue Code or related regulations require) of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock must give us written notice containing certain information specified in our charter no later than January 30 following the end of each of our years. In addition, every beneficial owner of our capital stock and each person (including a stockholder of record) who is holding capital stock for a beneficial owner of our capital stock must, upon our demand, provide to us such information that we may request, in good faith, to determine the effect of our beneficial owners' direct, indirect and constructive ownership of such shares on our status as a real estate investment trust. EFFECT OF OWNERSHIP LIMITS ON CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY. The ownership limitations set forth in this prospectus may prevent the acquisition of control of our company without the consent of the board of directors.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Our officers and directors are indemnified under Maryland law, our charter and the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., as amended (the "Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership"), against certain liabilities. Our charter authorizes us, and our by-laws require us, to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of Maryland. The Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those capacities unless it is established that the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful, or the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation for the act or omission. No amendment of our charter shall limit or eliminate the right to indemnification provided with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. Maryland law permits us to provide indemnification to an officer to the same extent as a director, although additional indemnification may be provided if such officer is not also a director. The MGCL permits the charter of a Maryland corporation to include a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to such corporation and its stockholders for money damages, with specified exceptions. The MGCL does not, however, permit the liability of directors and officers to a corporation or its stockholders to be limited to the extent that (1) it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services (to the extent such benefit or profit was received) or (2) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. Our charter contains a provision consistent with the MGCL. No amendment of our charter shall limit or eliminate the limitation of liability with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. The Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership also provides for indemnification of us and our officers and directors to the same extent indemnification is provided to our officers and directors in our charter, and limits the liability of us and our officers and directors to Mack-Cali Realty, II-1 L.P. and its partners to the same extent liability of our officers and directors to our stockholders is limited under our charter. In addition, the Delaware Revised Limited Partnership Act provides that a limited partner has the power to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its partnership agreement. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that we indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to the directors and officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. We also must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by directors and officers seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements, and cover directors and officers under our directors' and officers' liability insurance. Although the form of indemnification agreement offers substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by provisions of our charter and our bylaws and the Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, it provides greater assurance to directors and officers that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Board of Directors or by the stockholders to eliminate the rights it provides.

- ------------------------ (1) Incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 16, 1998. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. We, the undersigned Registrant, hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. We hereby further undertake that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of our annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of II-2 the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. We hereby further undertake that: (1) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance under Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement at the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we certify that we have reasonable grounds to believe that we meet all the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and have duly caused this registration statement to be signed on our behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Cranford, State of New Jersey on this 16th day of March, 2001.
