ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics has completed the acquisition of a 27-acre property in Englewood Cliffs. Terms were not disclosed.
The property at 111 Sylvan Ave. houses a 400,000-square-foot, three-story office building occupied by Citigroup, Inc. The financial firm is expected to lease the building from LG through spring 2011.
Joseph C. Parisi, Jr., Mayor of Englewood Cliffs, said, "LG Electronics has been a good corporate citizen of Englewood Cliffs for 25 years. I look forward to assisting the company as it explores opportunities for future growth here."

In addition to working with borough officials on zoning issues, LG said it plans to seek state incentives that would be necessary to support the company's future growth objectives.
