Riverfront complex one of many where receivership looms Riverfront complex one of many where receivership looms CoStar Group Inc. Fannie Mae sought a receivership for the Jeffersonian Houze apartment complex owned by Joe Barbat and Arie Liebovitz. The iconic Jeffersonian Houze apartment tower on the Detroit River is facing possible receivership after Fannie Mae spelled out in federal court last week why it believes owners Joe Barbat and Arie Leibovitz can no longer be trusted to care for and maintain the 30-story building. If the U.S. District Court of Eastern Michigan grants Fannie Mae's request to appoint B. Riley Advisory Services as receiver, it would be the latest high-profile property to fall under someone else's control due to financial or other issues.
