Soloviev Group has long owned the Manhattan office tower at 9 West 57th St., famous for its pricey rents and list of major financial tenants including Apollo Global Management Inc. Now, the property firm is planning another large project across the street.

Soloviev was behind the limited liability company that purchased 24 West 57th St. for $67.2 million earlier this month. Soloviev already owned neighboring plots of land, meaning the company can expand its ambitions for that area.
