Earlier this year, Citigroup began advertising their development site at 23-15 44th Drive, in Long Island City, and now Jia Shu Xu’s C&G Empire Realty is acquiring the property for $143 million. The 36,000 square-foot site — a block from the Court Square stations serviced by the E, M, G and 7 trains — boasts roughly 780,000 square feet of building potential in the form of residential or commercial space. The new owner’s plans have not been disclosed, but existing three- and single-story structures must first be demolished. [The Real Deal]
