What It’s About:
The wave of future growth is a blend of suburban and urban living.

They also want the schools and amenities that the suburbs provide, but don’t want to give up anything the city has to offer. By combing the two, an environment is created that brings the best of the urban lifestyle to the suburbs. So, how can developers bring high-density, urban-style design to suburban locations at an attainable sales price?
