Joseph Sitt’s Thor Equities LLC agreed to sell land on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue for $275 million, almost double the price the firm paid for the property in 2011, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement.

Ceruzzi Properties LLC, a Fairfield, Connecticut-based real estate investor, is under contract to buy the 300,000-square-foot (27,900-square-meter) site at 520 Fifth Ave., said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deal is private.
