Taylor Morrison’s Rosebay Plan
Taylor Morrison is building its Rosebay Plan in the community of Grand Vista.
Each year two to three homes are built for this GHBA charity fundraiser with donated land, construction management, materials, labor and services by association members. These homes are constructed with upgrade materials and features and are sold at market value.
Since the project began 38 years ago, more than $10 million has been raised.
“It was such an incredible event to mark the beginning of construction with the dozens of vendors and special guests who joined in the groundbreaking celebration,” said Cindy Hinson.

“All Benefit Home groundbreakings are huge milestones for the charities and the entire Benefit Homes team of vendors, trades and the builder/developer teams. The energy and excitement of the occasion is an inspiration to everyone who attends,” Hinson added.
