City Furniture Opens South Florida's "Greenest" Furniture Superstore

Positioning for growth throughout Southeast Florida, City Furniture today opened a 93,680-square-foot “destination” furniture superstore in Boca Raton that features both City Furniture and Ashley Furniture HomeStore showrooms.   Innovative and “green” from its rooftop solar tubes for daylight harvesting to its LED lighting inside and out, the iconic structure at 3350 Airport Road is South Florida’s first full-line furniture store pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

“This opening is truly about sustainability – both economic and environmental,” said City Furniture President Keith Koenig.  “Our company’s roots are in South Florida, and we’re deeply committed to grow with and help sustain this region.  We’re pleased to have generated more than 200 construction jobs and to be adding about 50 new retail jobs as we launch the store’s operations.”  Overall, the Broward County-based company employs more than 800.  City Furniture’s ground lease with the Boca Raton Airport Authority will also help support local economic growth, with rent going to enhance airport operations.
