Luthor wants to open a sub-archway from Nova City to Metropolis, opening directly into the lobby of Lexcorp HQ. It doesn't have to contain the whole city (though that would be great), but the Lexcorp building at minimum and possibly the surrounding downtown area.
Since there are no Kryptonians around currently, Lex is willing to give up the knowledge of Kryptonite. If any show up, he can always dismiss the archway to regain the knowledge of their main weakness.
Metropolis, New York: The center of commerce on the US east coast. Metropolis is home to Lexcorp HQ as well as several more discreet R&D facilities. The Daily Planet is also located here.
Lexcorp is about as close to a true AAA Megacorp as you'll find outside the Cyberpunk genre, with interests and projects ranging from agriculture to space travel to consumer electronics. Some of Lexcorp's most notable advances on Earth-16--not all of which are public knowledge--are in the areas of cybernetics and biotechnology, including cyberlimbs visually all but indistinguishable from the real thing and complete human cloning. Lexcorp also notably engineered Earth-16's first practical infantry-sized laser weaponry.
The Lexcorp building itself contains a number of executive offices, as well as a few of Lexcorp's more PR-friendly project teams (anything actually secret is wisely kept in more discreet locations). The public is allowed on the lower floors for regular guided tours, where they can find displays dedicated to Lexcorp's history and some of its most popular product lines, both current and past.
The building has top-notch security, including a custom hardened desk in Lex's office capable of withstanding a direct hit from an RPG with little visible damage, and a secret room hidden behind a portrait of himself. Those with the proper clearance, namely Lex himself, can access details and schematics on all Lexcorp projects and products from here, though the truly top-secret are stored only in cipher, requiring one to know the code to make sense of them.

Edit: that turned out longer than I expected
