Views from The Alfred, former home of a soap opera power couple (Sotheby's International Realty)
At this point in the year, some of us start to slack off on New Year's resolutions and goals we might have set for the year ahead. However, that is not the case for these bold-faced names: Public records indicate that they have either sold or purchased their New York City apartments, an endeavor that can be months or even years in the works.
In this article:
Rinah Aruh
Laight House (CityRealty)
Under Rinat Aruh's leadership, design agency Arulinden has won awards and attracted such clients as LVMH, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade New York, Bvlgari, Glossier, and Supergoop. Their New York offices are in a loft-inspired space, and public records identify her as the buyer of an apartment in an industrially inspired Tribeca building.
Christine D'Ornano
The Jefferson Court (CityRealty)
In August 2022, digital publication This is Glamorous took a look at the stylish Paris apartment of Sisley executive Christine D'Ornano. We look forward to seeing what she does with her Greenwich Village apartment - public records indicate that she has just closed on a spacious unit in a prewar building.

Larry Mah's professional credentials include work with the music departments of Tenet, The Day After Tomorrow, and the 2022 Oscars, to name just a few. His passion for music seems to have rubbed off on his choice of New York real estate - while public records indicate that he has just sold the apartment, one can't help but notice how close it is to the performing arts venues of Lincoln Center.

James DePaiva
The Alfred (CityRealty)
The Alfred, #16B (Sotheby's International Realty)
For much of the time it was on the air, soap opera One Life to Live taped at ABC's Studio 17 in Lincoln Center. Longtime series actors and real-life couple James DePaiva and Kassie DePaiva lived down the street from the studio during their stint on the show; however, as the show is no longer on the air, there appears to no longer be any need for them to stay. Public records indicate that they have offloaded it.
