Townbridge Announces Full Launch of Mihir – A Modern Rental Townhome Community in Taylor, TX
06/10/2025, Taylor, Texas // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Townbridge, a leading developer of next-generation build-to-rent communities, is proud to announce the full launch of its inaugural Mihir townhome development in Taylor, Texas. This milestone marks the completion of all four residential complexes within the community, with leasing momentum accelerating and full occupancy expected by year's end. Mihir represents a new evolution in rental living — offering thoughtfully designed, modern townhomes with the space, privacy, and elegance traditionally reserved for ownership, all at a price point comparable to standard apartment complexes. With detached garages, private entrances, and high-end interior finishes, each Mihir residence is crafted to meet the needs of today's renters seeking more from their living experience. 'People are renting longer than ever before, but they still want a place that truly feels like home,' said Aaron Levy, CEO of Townbridge. 'Mihir was designed to bridge that gap — offering renters the space and comfort of a townhome without sacrificing the flexibility and affordability of renting. It's the next step in our mission to redefine what rental living can be.' Mihir builds upon the success of Townbridge's Casata communities, which introduced standalone cottage-homes built around community and affordability. While Casata provided a lifestyle solution for minimalist renters, Mihir caters to individuals, couples, and families seeking a more spacious, elevated environment — without the long-term financial or maintenance burdens of homeownership. Key features of Mihir townhomes include: Located in the fast-growing community of Taylor, just outside Austin, Mihir offers convenient access to employers, schools, and lifestyle amenities while maintaining a peaceful, residential atmosphere. The successful completion of Mihir's construction phase demonstrates Townbridge's commitment to creating housing solutions that respond to the changing dynamics of the American rental market.

Two subdivisions among items on TRC agenda
Two single-family residential subdivisions will be considered by the Sanford-Lee County Technical Review Committee on May 29. Sky Ridge Estates would result in 28 homes on 16.5 acres on Eddy Drive near Commerce Drive and Lee Avenue in southeast Sanford. The current zoning is SN-9 and the average lot would be 10,000 square feet, according to a planning document. The property owners are Margaret Ann and Mike Thomas of 3806 Lee Ave. Also in that area, a separate 125-unit townhome project proposed by John Woodlief of Cary would connect Commerce Drive with Lee Avenue in advance of the North Carolina Department of Transportation doing so, according to Woodlief, who spoke at a Sanford City Council meeting about his project on May 20. The Thomas family hired local attorney Fred Webb to represent them at the city council meeting, and Webb said, 'We oppose because Lee Avenue is not constructed to handle the amount of traffic' that townhomes would bring. 'This is where the city meets the country.' The requested rezoning from suburban neighborhood (SN-12) to the Lee Avenue Conditional Zoning District for the townhome project will be considered by the Sanford City Council next month. PETTY ROAD SUBDIVISION Terry Stewart of Sterling Developers of Sanford is proposing a 133-lot, single-family subdivision on 58 acres at 3116 Carbonton Road southwest of Sanford near the intersection of Petty Road and Wicker Street. The average lot size would be 9,780 square feet. The land is in Sanford's extraterritorial jurisdiction. It was rezoned in January 2023 to the Petty Road Conditional Zoning District, according to a planning document. The land must be annexed into the city in order to be developed in the manner proposed. Also on the agenda are a Packforce Hangar at the Raleigh Executive Jetport in northern Lee County and a Blossman gas storage building on Cameron Drive near Lee Avenue and Industrial Drive in south Sanford. That latter would be used for propane tank refurbishment for Teddy Donathan and BMER LLC of Sanford. Just because a project is proposed does not mean it will come to fruition.

‘New generation of housing': The property type buyers can't get enough of
Rising home prices and a limited supply of standalone houses is driving a shift in buyer behaviour that's making way for a 'new generation of townhomes'. According to Position Property, the sales agent for many boutique Brisbane residential projects, this type of product is attracting strong interest from buyers looking for comfort and space without the upkeep of traditional houses. RELATED: Vera unveiling sees milestone achieved at Greville Downsizers, in particular, are lapping up features like four-car garages, whole-floor master suites, and larger than life butler's pantries. 'We're seeing a real surge in demand for townhomes that offer house-like proportions with striking architectural features,' Position Property principal Richard Lawrence said. 'Buyers want the space and lifestyle of a traditional home, without the upkeep. Rightsizers in particular are drawn to the low-maintenance appeal, while still enjoying multiple bedrooms, private outdoor areas, and double garages that feel more like a freestanding house.' 'This new generation of townhomes being delivered in inner city surburbs where people want to live, is redefining urban living.' Mr Lawrence said townhomes were a 'smart alternative' to renovating an older home — especially for busy professionals and young families who did not have the time or budget to tackle major upgrades. 'These homes come move-in ready with the latest design trends, energy efficiency, and none of the unknowns you get with older properties,' he said. Construction is moving quickly on a boutique townhome development that's now 50 per cent sold in Brisbane's inner south, thanks to interest from 'rightsizers'. Some of the homes in Parkside Residences Yeronga are already finished and ready for residents to move in to the collection of three-bedroom townhomes and three-level villas, developed by JGL Properties. The project neighbours the 22ha Yeronga Memorial Park, just 5km from Brisbane's CBD and within walking distance of the train station, cafes, and retail. JGL Properties managing director John Livingstone said the development was proving popular with local buyers seeking 'a lifestyle-driven property without compromising on space or quality'. 'This is a unique opportunity to deliver premium homes for owner-occupiers right beside one of the city's most iconic and largest parklands,' Mr Livingstone said The townhomes are priced from $1.369m and feature two-car garages, private courtyards, and landscaped gardens, with a selection of the homes offered as freehold titles. A limited collection of house-sized villas are also available, offering three-car lock-up garages, second living rooms, studies, and internal lifts. Designed by Arkhefield, the townhomes take inspiration from classic Yeronga Queenslanders, blending heritage elements with modern design, and featuring sintered stone benchtops, sleek cabinetry, and high-end European appliances. Over in Taringa, Beatrice Residences is also close to completion, offering just nine townhomes with a mixture of three and four bedrooms — four with four-car garages. Located on Beatrice Street, they also boast internal elevators, separate secondary living areas, whole-floor master suites, and outdoor kitchens. Developed by Creera, prices start at $2.34m. Brisbane residents Juliette and Wayne Jericho have purchased a three-level villa in Parkside Residences as part of a lifestyle move. 'We're semi-retired and looking to simplify,' Mrs Jericho said. 'Our current home, with a large garden and pool, has become more than we need. 'We wanted to 'right-size' without losing the quality we're used to.'

These one-of-a-kind OKC townhomes got an incredible new look for Symphony Show House
During the 1890s, known as the Gilded Age, Oklahoma City was just a frontier town, but a set of European, Beaux-Arts-inspired townhomes paying homage to the era are set to open for a public tour. Inspired by the work of late American architect Ogden Codman Jr. in the early 1900s, Richard R. Brown Associates President and Architect Rick Brown designed the townhomes in 2023 at 6100 NW Grand Blvd. "They were trying to recreate what his vision was," said Joan Bryant, nonprofit spokesperson for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and OKC Orchestra League, which will host the 52nd Symphony Show House May 10-25 on the property. The townhomes are unique to Oklahoma City. Set near the Nichols Hills area, the development followed the blueprints of Codman's former home, which he designed for his wife, Leila Howard Griswold Webb, at 15 E. 51st St. in New York City a few years prior to their marriage in 1904, according to the Historic New England, a historic preservation organization. Interior designers decorating the home said the home's natural lighting, carved trimmings, curved archways and focus on symmetry were a nod to Codman's elaborate style. J. Mark Taylor, owner and licensed interior designer of Traditional Interior Design & Furnishings and Show House chair, decorated the drawing room, the entrance corridor, a bathroom and a secondary bedroom on the top floor. Taylor said the home distinguishes itself from other homes with its attention to detail, 12-foot ceilings and flow from room to room and exterior to interior. 'It invokes a feeling of grandeur,' he said. 'Everything I'm trying to do is to play on that and lift that higher.' Listings for one of the townhomes at 6119 NW Grand Blvd., priced at $3.7 million, describe a revitalization of the Gilded Age, exhibiting a 'cosmopolitan way of life' in a prime location, complete with extravagant finishes, like three signed Baccarat chandeliers and a La Cornue range. A 6,690-square-foot townhouse, the main Show House for the annual fundraising event benefiting the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, features a layout true to the era that inspired the property. The second floor features a side for men and a side for women, and the top floor includes a "Jack and Jill" styled floor layout with additional bedrooms for children or guests, its own kitchenette and a bonus space area. Look at 2024 Symphony Show House: The 2024 Symphony Show House was a 1936 white-columned, Georgian mansion Among designers included in this year's Show House are Amini's Galleria, Cory Lloyd & Co., Henry Home Interiors, Holly Flinton Design, Jenny Jarrard Interiors, William & Lauren, Kirby Home Designs, Loree Johns Interiors, Mathis Design Studio, Off the Wall Interiors by Ronette and Tin Lizzie's. All items selected inside the home will come with a price tag, said Bryant, who added the event not only gives local designers a chance to display their work but also to sell items used for interior designs. Prices of these items can range from very little to a lot, she added. Cassie Pastor with Oklahoma City Philharmonic said the Show House highlights the architectural features of the property every year, such as the hand-welded staircase in the Grand Boulevard townhomes. "We really are just highlighting this particular home's story," she said. "We want to focus on the history of the home, why it's special, what are the designers going to bring in to give it new life? What is that going to be like? That's how we approach it." Codman believed every house decoration should be seen as "a vital part of architectural expression, as part of the architectural order of the house itself," he argued in the book he co-wrote with Edith Wharton, "The Decoration of Houses," published in 1897, according to Historic New England. The architect designed the interiors of the Kykuit, also known as the John D. Rockefeller Estate, in 1909, according to the Rockefeller Brother Fund. His style included adding English furnishings, Chinese and European ceramics, and portraits of family and of American presidents, the philanthropic organization states. True to Codman's work, Taylor filled the first-floor room with fine China, porcelain, reimagined antique furniture and gilded pieces. He placed furniture carefully, keeping with the home's symmetry. Among the most important elements he kept in mind during the process was distributing the green, gold and pastel color palette evenly throughout the room. On the third floor, where Taylor designed Guest Room B, one of three rooms on the highest level of the townhomes, he honed his design from below, adding more feminine, bright colors, such as a pink accent wall. "Here, I just wanted happy color," he said. Les Beaux-Arts, French for the beautiful arts, stands out from other European-style homes, according to experts. It's high-style, classical, clean cut, sophistication and formality set it apart from other architecture, which usually portrays countryside or Tuscan-styled designs, according to Keven Carl, owner of Mister Robert and her designer, Cassidy Brunsteter, both of whom have degrees in interior design and are licensed practicing interior designers. It was during their college education where they learned of Codman's work. "We learn a lot of those things that you would have missed, otherwise," Carl said. "We learned a lot of his elements, then." Tasked with decorating the hallway leading to the master suite, the primary bedroom, bathroom and sitting room, the Mister Robert designers wanted to capture the home's French feel. They hung artwork capturing foreign countries, like a portrait of a French flower market and a painting of a European street. Inside the sitting room, commonly used as an intimate space for women in the early 1900s, Carl and Brunsteter depicted a modern Parisian interior with touches of century-old pieces. On a living room table, a "Paris Chic" design book laid atop of a small pile. Sheer curtains with canvas leaves draped over the home's large windows left natural lighting in the room, true to Codman's work. In the corner of the room, an antique secretary desk revealed a small writing table. Brunsteter chose the antique furniture piece to celebrate the period when the original home was built. "To me, that just came to mind, immediately, because when you think of movies or shows set in that era, I feel like you imagine women perched on a little seat, you know, in extravagant dresses and everything," she said. "It certainly was a time women wrote letters." Mister Robert, a family-owned interior design company based in Norman, has been working with the nonprofit for around 30 years. "I grew up in the business," Carl said, adding that she seldomly designed homes with the kind of architecture in the NW Grand Boulevard townhome. Brunsteter added that the owners of the home praised them for keeping true to the original blueprint, despite the lack of privacy given to the primary bedroom, which has no doors. Future owners, she said, might want to switch the functions of the sitting room and the primary bedroom. "It's sort of left to interpretation," she said. At the other end of the property, at 6099 NW Grand Boulevard, developers modernized the layout of the rooms inside one of the properties also included in this year's Symphony Show House event. Inside, Kari López, of LOREC Ranch, filled the rooms with the Edmond-based company's Western-styled interiors. She highlighted the gilding and views of the home. Touches of gold and white hues pop out in her selected decor and furniture to signal Codman's influence. "We call this 'The Sanctuary of Opulence and Comfort,' because we feel the third floor ― it's such a luxurious residence and it just reflects an area for relaxation and reading," she said. Like Codman, López — a physician by trade — lived in Europe, falling in love with its architecture, cuisine and museums. Originally from Wisconsin, she learned about Oklahoma's history while teaching as a professor at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva. "I learned a lot about Oklahoma, you know, the tip of a hat, the look in the eye, the shake of a hand — that cowboy spirit," she said. As she does with so many of her clients' homes, she added pieces to the townhomes to bring that history to life inside the Beaux-Arts-inspired homes. For around the last seven years, López has participated in the Symphony Show House events, not only to showcase the work of LOREC Ranch, the company that designed Reba McEntire's restaurant in Atoka, but also to help student organizations, like the OKC Orchestra League. "My true love and passion is the ability to fund educational programs for the students of music and giving the opportunity to understand the symphony and go to programs in the summer," she said. When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 10-25 Where: 6119 NW Grand Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73118 Tickets: This article originally appeared on Oklahoman: 52nd Symphony Show House will be held at these unique OKC townhomes

Heritage Calgary says little can be done to save historic Maclean house in Ramsay
The historic Maclean home in the southeast community of Ramsay is about to meet its fate. A developer wants to knock it down to make way for some new townhomes. Despite being more than 110 years old, there is no legal way to save it. The CBC spoke with the CEO of Heritage Calgary about that.
