The brothers, who initially built together under the moniker C&G Empire Realty, split in 2014 over differences in real estate development philosophy, and George Xu founded Century Development Group, deciding to focus on one project at a time, while Chris desired to juggle multiple development projects at United Construction & Development Group. They continue to work together on various projects, and have maintained a similar focus on luxury condominiums and hotels in areas such as the Chinese immigrant enclave of Flushing, Queens, where both Chris and George have worked on similar projects, such as dueling 210-room hotels. Chris is also a managing partner of real estate private equity firm, New Land Capital.
