Many of today’s most successful new suburban multifamily developments have a distinct urban vibe — a strategy used by developers, architects and designers to help encourage millennials and downsizing boomers to come to (or stay in) the suburbs. When Multifamily Executive wanted to examine this trend, we provided Taylor Johnson clients Structured Development, M&R Development and CA Ventures as sources for reporter Barbara Ballinger. Check out the full article here to read how walkable neighborhoods, more outdoor space, amenities like those available in Class A buildings downtown, proximity to transit and inclusion of retail help enhance the appeal of suburban multifamily developments. TJ clients KTGY Architecture + Planning and Mary Cook Associates were also interviewed for the story.
