The (}arden Court
THE LARGE couRTS between the two rows of buildings are laid out by a landscape
gardener and planted with trees and shrubs and flowering plants. The Court will have
walks and plazas with benches. This Garden Court will be more attraCtive in every way
than the street fronts. The space between the buildings is 8 3 '4" at the nearest point.
These apartments will be sold on the Jackson Heights plan of Tenant-Ownership.
Each building will be owned by a separate corporation, the tenants being stockholders
and owners in proportion to the size of their apartments.
This ensures permanent occupancy and at a rental cost which is automatically reduced
as the cost of operation decreases.
The management is under control of the ~ e e n s b o r o Corporation, which assumes
all details of operation and, while relieving tenant-owners from all responsibility of
supervision, effeCts many economies by its control of management of a large number of
properties.
