This is the first I've heard of this possibility. Doesn't make much sense from where I sit to buy all that land and not use it, so I wonder where WSJ got this info from.

That is interesting, but color me skeptical. So many arrows are pointing to that next door parcel, I'd actually be shocked if it were placed anywhere else.
Re: this development . . . I'm fascinated by how completely this style has taken over the standard suburban building patterns. Instead of just unending acres and acres of single family homes, we're now adding a village center with retail and a park/amenity, higher density housing around it, and then single family homes in a ring outside of THAT. Every development of any scale that's being built in the burbs has this structure to it. Not sure if it's something we can attribute to Millenial buying preferences (skewing heavily urban), but it sure seems like it has something to do with it.
