New York City investment sales are finally picking up steam after a sleepy 2023, with two development sites trading and a notable air rights deal going into contract. Legion Investment Group spent $68 million on a planned condo development site in Gramercy, while Chris Jiashu Xu’s United Construction & Development bought a large development site from Fisher Brothers in Long Island City, Queens, for $58 million. Citadel’s Ken Griffin, Rudin and Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) also went into contract on $75 million worth of air rights from St Bartholomew’s Church, which will help build Citadel’s new headquarters at 350 Park Avenue.
