Granville Station Has New Owners
Granville Station (the former Northridge site) has recently been sold to U.S. Toward Enterprise Group, Inc. located in Germantown, Maryland. The company has both U.S. and Chinese investors.
The Department of City Development (DCD), through comprehensive planning with stakeholders and consultants, determined that this site should be a mixeduse redevelopment that would include housing, neighborhood retail, and perhaps some office or back-office use. DCD officials are currently contacting the new owners in order to meet and discuss possible plans for redevelopment at this location.
