Charles Blaichman‘s CB Developers, Ironstate Development and SK Development Group have purchased three adjacent walkup buildings in Murray Hill for $24.1 million, Commercial Observer has learned. The sale is not yet recorded with the city.

J.T. Tai & Company, a Chinese nonprofit foundation, sold the rental buildings at 587-591 Third Avenue between East 38th and East 39th Streets after more than 30 years of ownership. The trio of developers will combine them with the 18-story, 91-unit residential site they are developing next door at 593-597 Third Avenue, a source with knowledge of the deal said.
