Citadel’s Ken Griffin is in contract to purchase air rights from St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan to build a giant skyscraper that will house Citadel on Park Avenue.

Griffin, alongside Vornado Realty Trust and Rudin, have been working to map out plans for a 1.7 million-square-foot tower that would replace three properties at 350 Park Ave.
