Zac Posen Apartment Sold New York Sutton Place

In January, fashion designer Zac Posen made a rather unexpected purchase on the Upper East Side. He bought a quite traditional penthouse at 210 East 73rd Street; a perfectly lovely apartment that just needed a bit of a décor makeover. Posen previously resided in Soho, but we were unaware he also owned an apartment in the rather stuffy neighborhood of Sutton Place.

The Project Runway judge did, however, purchase a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 345 East 57th Street in 2013 for $925,000, and now it looks like he’s sold the co-op for a profit.

It appears to have been an off-market deal, so there’s no public listing for the most recent transaction, but Posen parted ways with the five-room apartment for $1.15 million.

It’s not clear if Posen made any serious changes or completed any renovations to the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, but we assume the high ceilings, hardwood floors, original details and built-in that the 2013 listing, held by Sotheby’s International Realty broker Anne Aransaenz, describes are still intact.

The older listing says the apartment, located in a prewar, doorman building, is “impeccably maintained,” and there’s a decorative fireplace in the living room. The bathrooms and kitchen had been recently renovated, and there’s a dining area that could be converted into a third bedroom.

We imagine it must have been a very convenient commute from this apartment to Posen’s office, at 3 East 54th Street. But perhaps the home, which Posen owned for just over four years, was just an investment property for the designer. After all, it seems he’s moved on to a far larger abode—his new $3.5 million Upper East Side digs even has a 1,800-square-foot wraparound terrace.

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go
