Residential Solar Energy Company Freedom Forever Selects the Discovery District For Entry into Maryland/ DC Marketplace
“After an extensive real estate search, we believe the Discovery District offers us the most compelling combination of location, building design and access to employee talent that will fuel our growth in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. region,” explained Danny Rubin, Vice President of Field Operations for Free- dom Forever. “Maryland is an extremely solar-friendly state full of customers who are eager to save on their utility bills. The building provides us with the open space we need to store and stage mate- rials, as well as access to highways and the Metro DC area. A significant factor in our decision was the opportunity to be part of the Discovery District, which we believe to be extremely innovative, energetic and close to amenities.”
Freedom Forever, a California-based com- pany engaged in the installation of resi- dential solar energy systems, has selected the Discovery District at the University of Maryland as the site of its entry into the greater Maryland and Washington, D.C. marketplace. The group signed a lease with St. John Properties, Inc. for 17,499 square feet of space at 5650 Rivertech Court in Prince George’s County, and expects to be operational with approxi- mately 10 employees by April 1 and rapidly grow to 75. Freedom Forever will utilize the site to house its team of site surveyors, con- struction professionals and installation personnel which will complete rooftop solar energy panel installations and home energy conversions.
