In December 2012, PMG bought two sites — a 14,920 square-foot-lot at 23-01 42nd Road and a 27,200 square-foot lot at 23-10 Queens Plaza — for $37 million, as The Real Deal reported.

Along with partners the Hakim Organization and New Valley, the real-estate arm of Douglas Elliman Chairman Howard Lorber’s Vector Group, PMG plans to build a 44-story rental tower with some 400 units and retail space. The project is slated for completion in 2017.
