Chesmar’s vendors donate to GHBA effort
The new community of Elyson in west Houston is the site for the one of two 2017 Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Benefit Homes Project homes that is being built by Chesmar Homes. Newland Communities, the developer of Elyson, donated the homesite.
GHBA members that include vendors and trades are donating their materials and services to the home’s construction. Vendors donating to Chesmar’s home include Ciro Cuellar Sand; Crain, Caton and Jones; Crossville Studios; Delany Hardware; Delta Faucets; Dixie Ply; Ellen Lighting; Emerald Masonry; Environments for Living; Excell Foundations; Garland Insulation; GE Appliances; General Plumbing Contractors Inc.; GeoTech Engineering; Gulf & Basco; Higginbotham; Hot On! Homes; and Houston Window Fashions.
“The generosity of these builders, developers, vendors and trades continues to define the integrity of the Houston homebuilding industry,” said Will Holder, chairman of the Benefit Homes Project.
The donations have insured that construction is well under way on Chesmar’s 2,733-square-foot Poplar plan. When the home is sold at market value, proceeds will be presented to HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home. Since the fundraiser began 37 years ago, $10 million has been raised.
The home in Elyson will be the fifth Benefit home built by Chesmar Homes and this will be the second lot donated by Newland Communities.
The two-story Poplar is from Chesmar’s Arbor Collection and features four bedrooms and three baths. The home’s common areas are an open design for entertaining and gatherings, with two bedrooms on the second floor and a game room.
The first-floor master suite, with its bath and walk-in closet, offers convenience as well as privacy.
This home design also includes a secondary bedroom on the first floor with a full bath. The home has a covered rear patio and a two-car garage.
The interior features a fireplace with an alder mantel, iron stairway spindles, granite countertops in the kitchen and baths, stainless-steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting and overhead pendant lighting in the kitchen.
Located at Grand Parkway and FM 529, approximately midway between I-10 west and U.S. 290 west, the 3,642-acre community will be home to 6,000 families.
