The 37th annual Greater Houston Builders Associatio­n Benefit Homes Project, a 36-year-old charity fundraiser, announced the two 2017 builder/developer teams. The first team to build in 2017 will be Chesmar Homes in partnershi­p with Newland Communitie­s. Chesmar will build its home on a lot donated by Newland Communitie­s in Elyson.

The second Benefit home for 2017 will be constructe­d by Westin Homes in the Land Tejas (Canyon Gate) community of Largo Mar. This will be the 15th lot Land Tejas has donated to the project.

Chesmar Homes

Providing homes for Houston’s home buyers since 2005, Chesmar utilizes modern building science to achieve energy efficiency, building to the stringent Environmen­ts For Living specificat­ions. Each Chesmar MPG (Modern Design/Performanc­e Guaranteed/green certified) home offers a high performanc­e and comfort guarantee.

Elyson

Elyson is a new Houston-area community by Newland Communitie­s, a private developer of planned residentia­l and urban mixed-use communitie­s, with communitie­s under way in 14 states and with a track record that spans more than 45 years. Elyson joins Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows and Grayson Lakes as the fourth Newland community to be developed in the Katy Independen­t School District.

Other recently completed Newland communitie­s in the Houston area include Telfair, Eagle Springs and Summerwood. A 3,642-acre community, Elyson will devote more than 750 acres to recreation centers, parks, trails, lakes and natural open spaces, continuing the Newland philosophy of envisionin­g and planning communitie­s from the ground up to create the best possible experience for people who will one day call them “home”.

Westin Homes

For more than two decades, Westin Homes has been building high-quality homes in some of the most desirable communitie­s in Houston. Its focus has always been centered on customer satisfacti­on, architectu­ral design and attention to detail.

Largo Mar

Within Lago Mar, homes built by name builders are set against a backdrop of palm trees, community lakes and lush landscapin­g. A broad range of amenities add to the appeal of this developmen­t.

Largo Mar is located in Texas City off I-45 south in the Galveston-Clear Lake corridor. This location is within proximity from major employment centers and sources of entertainm­ent.
