Within the north Houston area wooded landscape, NorthGrove, a Toll Brothers development is the site for a newly completed Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Benefit Home. This home has been constructed with a broad array of amenities and upgrades that were donated by association members. Proceeds from the sale of the home will benefit Operation Finally Home and HomeAid Houston.
Chesmar Homes’ 2,746 sq. ft. Mesquite Plan, is a two-story design featuring four bedrooms with a fifth bedroom/study option, three full baths, walk-in closets, a game room, an island kitchen and a two-story open family room off the kitchen.
“This design offers so much variety and is packed with detailing and amenities that help make it a showplace,” said John Williams, president of GHBA. “The home is completed now and has a potential buyer. It isn’t hard to see why there has been so much interest in this home with its open floorplan, expansive windows and green vistas. The home appeals to anyone who enjoys space and beauty.”

Materials, labor and services donated by suppliers and vendors are key to the success of the Benefit Homes Project, GHBA’s 39-year-old charity fundraiser. This year, Chesmar Homes committed to building its sixth Benefit Home on a lot donated by Toll Brothers in NorthGrove. Prior to the groundbreaking of the Mesquite Plan, the Chesmar Benefit Home already received commitments from more than 70 vendors.
A Benefit Home relies on these donations so it can be built with minimal cost. The homes are loaded with upgrades and amenities and are sold at market value. Since the fundraiser began, nearly $12 million has been raised.
Vendors and suppliers who have committed donations include: PTS Inc., Allpoints Surveying, Ellen Lighting & Hardware, Builders Post-Tension, PPG Paints, Lewis & Partners, Action Landscaping, Trus Joist/Weyerhaeuser, Meridian Brick, 1st Infiniti, James Hardie, Surface Systems of Texas, Emerald Masonry, AHI Supply, Hurricane Construction and Hart Lumber, Austin Windstorm, MTW Pipeworks, GE Appliances, Lanehart Electric, Builders First Source and All About Concrete.
