brown bros site demolition

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Crews are continuing to tear down buildings on the old Brown Brothers Cadillac property at Broadway and 4th Street.

The 5.35-acre property, which included several buildings and a large parking lot, was previously used by Brown Bros. Cadillac in downtown Louisville.

After more than 75 years in business, Brown Bros. Cadillac closed in mid-February 2021 after the dealership's owners decided to take a buyout of their franchise from General Motors rather than spend about $250,000 installing charging stations and other changes necessary to sell electric cars.

LDG Development bought the empty site last December for $6.5 million. It plans to develop the property into 186 apartment units.

LDG doesn't have an opening day yet, or an estimate on how much it'll cost to live there.
