New York, N.Y. – January 13, 2011 – BRP Companies today announced that Greene-Ville Gardens, an organic grocery store is now open on the ground floor of The Clermont, a high-end residential rental development located at 150 Clermont Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Carousel Children’s Center, a daycare center, is also set to open soon.
Greene-Ville Gardens is a green and organic specialty store that offers a wide selection of grocery items, organic produce, deli selections, and fresh-cut flowers. One of the first green grocers in the Fort Greene neighborhood, Greene-Ville Gardens provides the community with the highest quality natural and organic food products, promoting a green and sustainable lifestyle. Additionally, the store was constructed with an energy saving cooling system and features LEED energy saving lighting.
The Carousel Children’s Center is slated to open in February and will provide a home-like environment that supports the learning needs of all children.

The educational curriculum is personalized, offering tutorials in reading, writing, arithmetic, social studies, Spanish and Mandarin.
