Unique Showroom Experience to Open Late 2008. In the Heart of the Bowery, Showroom will be Sixth and Largest Retail Store for Leading Green Living and Green Products Supplier.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - 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 Depot founder and CEO Sarah Beatty. “Green Depot is proud and poised to provide green living solutions that are easy, accessible, affordable and gratifying.”
