Historical Archive
When Markland Woods converted to condominiums, the sales office prepared an “Owner’s Manual” for buyers detailing the components used in completion of the condo units. The Owner’s Manual contains information on paint schemes and sources for cabinetry, flooring, countertops, plumbing fixtures and more. The information all dates back to 2003. All warranties have expired, but if you’re interested in trying to match existing components in your unit, the manual may be of use.
The most-requested information is the list of original unit colors. Here’s the direct link! Unit Colors
