Town and Country development "gets it"

Town and Country Crossing, which opens in June and is anchored by Target and Whole Foods, is shaping up as an extremly unique development. I'm often critical of large scale developments because they seem to be just a strip mall with some big box stores thrown in. Town and Country Cross is rare in that it will have a heavy emphasis on the outdoors. A three-acre lake, 1200 trees, and 5000 shrubs are all a part of the master plan.


While TCC won't be a "lifestyle center" (think the Boulevard in Brentwood) it will be rare in that there will be a courtyard, and stand alone buildings. The buildings will have a brick facade, and five of them will face the three-acre lake.


One can only hope that other developers will follow suit and create similar developments instead of applying the same features and characteristics over and over (yes, I'm talking to you Kirkwood Commons, Maplewood Commons, and Arnold Commons).
