Meridiana is home to GHBA fundraiser
Meridiana a new master-planned community off Texas 288, with 2,700 acres nestled within Brazoria County, south of Texas 6.
The community is now home to a recently completed Greater Houston Builders Association Benefit Homes Project home constructed by Trendmaker Homes. The lot was donated by Rise Communities. The Project is a 36-year-old charity fundraiser. Trendmaker Homes is donating construction management of a home, that when sold, will benefit three local charities.
“A relative newcomer to the Houston market, Rise Communities is quickly becoming a household name for innovation and for providing a list of amenities,” 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.”
In addition to homes by some of Houston’s finest home builders, Meridiana will offer a waterfront Amenity Village where residents can enjoy a resortstyle family pool with cabanas, cafe, kids’ splash pad, spacious fitness center with on-site personal trainers and outdoor amphitheater.
The Amenity Village also will be home to a glassenclosed conservatory set over the water and a fully customized, 40-foot Ambassador’s Yacht, where Meridiana dog ambassador Soleil will invite residents to spend the night in honor of a birthday or special occasion.
Collaborating with the local schools, Meridiana is working closely with faculty within the Alvin Independent School District, committed to learning and exploration for every stage of life. The commu- nity is implementing 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, fixed outdoor features will allow students to study weather, water quality, the solar system, gravity and velocity. The setting with shaded, outdoor classroom space also will feature birdhouses, butterfly gardens and fauna at the water’s edge.
Meridiana will be accessible by the new Meridiana Parkway (now County Road 56), currently under construction, creating a commuting route heading north to the Texas Medical Center or south to Dow Chemical, BASF and other Brazoria County workplaces.
Each year two homes are built for the Benefit Homes Project with donated land, materials and services by GHBA members. They are sold at market value and the majority of the proceeds benefits Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. Since the fundraiser began, $9.5 million has been raised.
