Developer Harry Macklowe has been embroiled in a legal dispute with East Hampton over his Georgica Pond mansion for six years due to unauthorized renovations on protected wetlands. Currently listed at $32.5 million, the property has struggled to attract buyers due to ongoing violations and being overpriced compared to valuations in the area. After years of illegal modifications and legal battles, Macklowe is now trying to negotiate with the village zoning board, submitting an application for concessions and modifications aimed at reducing environmental impact in the hope of clearing the way for a sale.
Until recently, billionaire Harry Macklowe had been operating on the principle of "act first, apologize later" regarding illegal renovations on his Georgica Pond property.
Macklowe is attempting to sort out his property violations as he puts his mansion on the market for $32.5 million amidst ongoing legal issues.
