June 21, 2024

Charlotte’s newest luxury apartment community, is proud to announce the launch of “The Urban Haven at The Stead”, a community garden with culinary programming for residents and neighbors.

Curated by The Stead resident Mariah Henry, an acclaimed local Chef and beginning farmer (Hello Sailor, Wild Hope Farm), the program will include raised beds featuring an edible heirloom garden, culinary workshops, “food days” and “field days,” and more.

Henry, fueled by a void that has plagued a broken food system, will offer residents of The Stead seasonal harvesting and on-site programming. Nearby neighbors will also have access to public events that utilize seasonal food and Henry’s expertise. This is the only community garden within 150 acres.

 

We want this to be a catalyst for the community, explains Henry. Our goal is to reveal the honor in agriculture's rich history, restore broken communities and reclaim the connection of food back to our mind, body, and soul. We will offer flowers, herbs and vegetables and provide interactive opportunities for residents and neighbors. There is no other community garden within this community and we look forward to offering the first of its kind to all who reside nearby.

 

Henry, a “young farmer by day and eclectic Chef by night,” has followed a path to build community wherever she is planted. A proud graduate of Florida A&M University and Johnson & Wales University, she has been on a quest to graft the essence of food and agriculture into a seamless career and lifestyle. Now, with “The Urban Haven at The Stead,” she will be able to connect the dots for herself and the surrounding community.

 

With 275 units ranging from one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments to Carriage Homes, the sophisticated multifamily concept is intentionally tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Located just off of the 485/Rocky River Rd exit near several retail stores and restaurants, for a convenient, easy-living lifestyle, The Stead residents have access to a resort-style pool, fitness center, study areas, a game and wine lounge, dog park, pet spa, bike storage and grill and BBQ pits—top-of-the-line finishes.

San Vicente- Los Angeles private members club debuts next door to the Jane Hotel in the West Village. Adjacent to the Jane Hotel, a renowned party venue from the early 2000s, the upscale San Vicente recently opened its doors in the West Village. The club essentially lacks the secrecy of, for instance, the Century Club, which is the chosen club of the old-school media elite, and instead has the “see-and-be-seen” intensity factor.

Harold Moore’s Cafe Commerce heads to the Upper East Side. Downtown restaurants are nothing new to Harold Moore. In addition to Bistro Pierre Lapin and Harold’s in the Arlo Hotel in Hudson Square, the former student of Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Daniel Boulud had his own popular restaurant, Commerce, in the West Village from 2008 to 2015.  After the closures and a period serving as chef for Charlie Palmer’s empire from 2015 until 2023, Moore has made the decision to go at it once more, this time on the Upper East Side.
