A major New Haven apartment landlord is shifting its gaze northward to Hartford, paying nearly $7.1 million for two downtown properties one block apart that have both struggled with high vacancy.
Land records show that in mid-May, Greater Hartford developer-landlord Yisroel Rabinowitz sold the “Grand on Ann” apartments at 201 Ann Uccello St. for $3.15 million and the former High School Inc. building at 275 Asylum St. for $3.915 million.
Two separate LLCs bought the properties, but each is linked to New Haven-based Ocean Management and its principal Shmuel Aizenberg, records show.

Executive Summary: For decades fitness facilities have been offering “women-only” sections, allowing women to exercise in private without self-image worries or unwanted male attention. But these sections are now in jeopardy as the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities (CHRO) brings a case against two prominent Connecticut gyms, Edge Fitness and Club Fitness, to the Connecticut Supreme Court, asserting that such sections amount to illegal sex discrimination against men.
