Eight-Year Old Poses in Front of His Photograph at The Woodlands Homefinder Center

THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS – (Thursday, June 22, 2006) – Eight-year old local resident, Brandon Parise, poses in front of his photograph, located inside the newly-renovated Homefinder Center at 2000 Woodlands Parkway, according to Susan Vreeland-Wendt, director of marketing for The Woodlands Development Company (TWDC).

“Brandon can be seen modeling in the successful Human.Nature. advertising campaign, doing what he does best, which is enjoying the amenities of The Woodlands,” Vreeland-Wendt said. “Brandon is pictured with other children playing in parks on playground equipment, flying a kite, rollerblading on the hike-and-bike trails and exploring the Shadow Lake Marsh Experience as he is doing in the background photograph, located at The Homefinder Center.”

Brandon, who was born at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital, is the son of Lorrie Parise, marketing manager for TWDC.

The award-winning Human.Nature. campaign first launched in 2004 and was expanded in 2005 to feature a contrast between the serenity of living in the forest with the vitality of Town Center, emphasizing its new shopping, dining, entertainment and event venues surrounding The Woodlands Waterway®.

The Woodlands Homefinder Center was renovated in the first quarter of 2006 and includes general information on The Woodlands, information on new homes priced from the $130’s to more than $3 million, topographical tables and expanded Realtor® offices along with photographs from recent advertisements.

The Woodlands is a 28,000-acre master-planned community located 27 miles north of downtown Houston. It is a project of The Woodlands Development Company, a limited partnership of Morgan Stanley and General Growth Properties, Inc.
