The trolley operated by the Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (BOEDC) is perhaps best known for touring borough residents and visitors around arts and culture attractions in the south Bronx during “First Wednesdays.”
But that’s not all the retro red-and-green vehicle is being pressed into service for.
Just last Saturday, real estate broker Gregory Tsougranis of Century 21-Metrostar, leased the trolley to show prospective buyers co-op apartments for sale in the Bedford Park area.
The standing-room-only crowd was shown apartments in several buildings including 3201 Grand Concourse, 190 E. Mosholu Parkway and 2962 Decatur Ave. Each building had at least three 1- or 2-bedroom co-ops up for grabs.
BOEDC president thinks Tsougranis’s tour is such a good idea that she hopped on the trolley mid-tour to thank the crowd for investing in the Bronx.
Representatives from Citibank also spoke to the group, sharing information about prerequisites for getting a mortgage.
Tsougranis has been doing the tours for about a year and is planning future ones.
For more information on Century 21-Metrostar properties, call Tsougranis at (845) 304-5745.
