Greene bought the land on Pike Road west in West Palm Beach for $5.35 million in March 2013 and reportedly sold it for $10.75 million to SunCap Property Group. The North Carolina company plans to develop the property into a FedEx distribution center, according to a published report.

Most of Greene’s properties consist of condos and office space, the Palm Beach Post reported. Greene told the Post the sale of the vacant land doesn’t reflect a change of plans for the rest of his properties in Palm Beach.

“Truthfully, it’s not in the core of what I’m doing,” he said. [Palm Beach Post]Katherine Kallergis
