In a groundbreaking shift in residential construction, a new housing development in Wylie is turning heads — and keeping the peace. By utilizing steel instead of traditional wood framing, and drills in place of hammers, this innovative project promises not only enhanced durability and sustainability but also a quieter, more serene neighborhood during the building phase.

Construction is underway for a townhome development from Netze Homes, a Lewisville-based company with a goal to reduce the construction industry’s 39% carbon emissions, which they say is a major contributor to the environmental crisis. 

The Apollo at 300 Sanden Boulevard in Wylie is touted as a place “where affordability meets quality living and community spirit.”
