Billionaire hedge fund boss Ken Griffin to pay Manhattan cathedral up to $164 million for air rights to build new skyscraper
Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has struck a deal to buy St Patrick's Cathedral's air rights, per Bloomberg.
The deal is part of plans to build a 1.7 million-square-foot skyscraper in Manhattan.
Citadel is doubling down on New York despite Griffin praising Miami as "the future of America."
Billionaire hedge fund boss Ken Griffin has reportedly struck a deal — alongside Steve Roth's Vornado Realty Trust and Rudin Management — to pay a historic Manhattan cathedral for its air rights to build a skyscraper, according to a Bloomberg report.
The trio has agreed to pay $312.50 per square foot for between 315,000 to 525,000 square feet in development rights on Park Avenue — meaning the sale price could be up to $164 million — as part of plans to build a new 1.7 million-square-foot skyscraper in the famous Manhattan district.
Citadel will reportedly occupy half of the skyscraper, which is expected to be completed in 2032 and could rise to 1,350 feet.
The company is looking to expand its office space after enjoying a bumper year of profits.

Why the state health department may ask to test your blood
RAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — State health officials are looking to test the level of chemicals in the blood and urine of some Grand Rapids residents.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is working to gather data on the level of certain chemicals, including lead, mercury and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in Michigan residents. It is using a statistical method to select households throughout the state.
Statewide project will test MI residents for PFAS, lead
The Michigan Chemical Exposure Monitoring team will be in the city of Grand Rapids from Jan. 17 to 19 and from Jan. 24 to 26. It will be sending invitations to some Grand Rapids households over the next few weeks for one adult in the home to give a blood and urine sample.
As a thank you for participating in the test, participants will receive a $65 gift card and their lab results.
“The MiChEM project will help us understand more about the chemical exposures of Michigan residents, including if some groups have greater amounts of certain chemicals in their bodies and how the amounts compare to national averages,” Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive of MDHHS, said in a Wednesday release. “This is the first time that a project of this type and scale has been done in Michigan.”
