Holly Springs, NC (PRWEB) October 4, 2007 -- A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the grand opening of the Welcome Center for 12 Oaks, Wakefield Development Company's newest master-planned community.

Covering 687 acres and offering more than 1,300 townhomes and single-family homes, 12 Oaks is a classic southern community featuring Colonial, Greek and Southern Antebellum Revival and Victorian architecture.

"We are grateful to city and county officials and our many business partners in the community for helping us bring the vision of 12 Oaks to life," said John Myers.
