Meridiana joins GHBA fundraiser
The Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) annual fundraiser, the Benefit Homes Project, received a generous donation of a homesite from one of the newest master-planned communities off Texas 288.
This 2,700-acre community, called Meridiana, is located within Brazoria County just south of Texas 6. The lot is being donated for a Benefit home to be built by Trendmaker Homes.
In addition to homes, Meridiana is committed to learning and exploration for every stage of life. The community is collaborating with the local schools, to work with faculty within the Alvin Independent School District to implement discovery experiences designed to educate, motivate and inspire all ages.
Each of the experiences will be designed to fit into the district’s curriculum for students from kindergarten through high school. In Galileo’s Lab, for instance, fixed outdoor features will allow students to study weather, water quality, the solar system, gravity and velocity. The setting with shaded, outdoor classroom space will also feature birdhouses, butterfly gardens and fauna at the water’s edge.
“Arelative newcomer to the Houston market, Rise Communities is becoming a household name for innovation and for providing a list of amenities that are setting a new standard of quality for today’s masterplanned communities,” said Will Holder, chairman of the Benefit Homes Project. “Trendmaker is excited to partner with Meridiana as we build this Benefit home that will raise valuable funds and awareness.”
Each year two homes are built for the Benefit Homes Project with donated land, materials and services by GHBA members. The homes offer a variety of the most popular features and amenities on the market today.
They are sold at market value and the majority of the proceeds benefit Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. Since the fundraiser began, $9.5 million has been raised.
