What they’re saying
Chris Yuko, managing director of development for Marquette, said the company tried to preserve the natural landscape in The Sylvan development.
"The amount of effort to save several dozen trees within this development is significant,” he said. “We think the abundance of mature trees will attract residents to what will become a new neighborhood within The Woodlands [area].”
