Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) May 7, 2007

City Capital CEO Ephren W. Taylor II stated, “We have been researching companies in the Northeast quadrant of the country for several months now. We recognize the tremendous need for affordable housing for working-class families in the densely-populated Northeast corridor. Granite has a strong presence in the Greater Philadelphia Metro area, and we anticipate using this acquisition as a base for expanding our operations into several East coast markets that we have been in discussions with.”
Gary Freedman, Managing Partner of Granite added, “We’re all incredibly excited about being acquired by a public company with the strong reputation City Capital commands among city governments and community organizations around the country. We are looking forward to working with Mr. Taylor and his entire executive management team, to grow Granite to the next level. I feel our two groups have strong synergies that should make this marriage a huge success. We have extensive experience in the greater Philadelphia market, and are looking forward to expanding our operations into the rest of the Eastern Seaboard.”
Granite has acquired or built and sold over 424 homes since 2004, and has booked 53 homesales so far in 2007 alone. The company currently has 28 homes under contract, valued in excess of $6 million.
