BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Business Wire EON) April 23, 2008 --
Green Depot® (www.greendepot.com),
the Brooklyn-based supplier of environmentally friendly, green building
materials, green products as well as green living services and
solutions, today announced it will begin construction on a new flagship
consumer showroom in Manhattan on May 1. Green Depot Manhattan will take
over the ground floor space in the building that was The 1885 Young
Men's Institute at 222
Bowery between Prince and Spring and will open in November 2008.
The showroom, Green Depot's sixth and largest, will boast more than
3,000 square feet of retail space and will serve Manhattan's vast
consumer population interested
in green living and in easier access to green products and building
materials, housewares and sustainable living concepts. The space
will also accommodate Green Depot's significant professional
and commercial customer base in the borough and will include
a resource and design center where Green Depot staff will work with
customers to find green building materials that are cost-efficient and
easily adaptable into their construction or renovation projects. Green
Depot has enlisted the architecture and design services of Mapos
LLC to re-fashion the space at 222 Bowery and anticipates
LEED-platinum or gold certification for this exciting new green living
experience space.
“Green Depot Manhattan marks a significant
expansion for our company as well as a fundamental recognition of the
growing effort amongst customers to make healthier and more eco-friendly
living choices,” explained Green
