Announcement by GHI of 121 Centerway purchase:
Dear Members of Greenbelt Homes,
The Board of Directors of the Greenbelt Development Corporation (GDC) is pleased to announce our purchase of the property at 121 Centerway, which houses the Greenbelt Consumer Cooperative (GCC; the grocery store and pharmacy), and the Greenbelt Arts Center (GAC). Details provided by GDC Management follow below.
We thank the GHI members, our dedicated staff, and advisors who have worked many hours to bring about this historic purchase. GDC looks forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with GCC, GAC, and, eventually, other tenants.
One of the goals in our GHI mission statement is to “celebrate our historic legacy”. We believe that this purchase by GDC, GHI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, of the largest building in the Roosevelt Center is a significant step forward in preserving that legacy for future generations.
Sincerely,
Stefan Brodd, President GHI and GDC
