The transactio­n from purchase to closing of the M/I Homes Benefit Homes Project home in Bridgeland was seamless as the buyers, Jeremy and Cathlene Webb, signed officially on the dotted line at the title offices at M/I Homes last week.

“We were so delighted when we found out that by us purchasing this home, two local charities would be benefittin­g,” said Jeremy. “HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home are serving the community by helping so many less fortunate. Buying a home we love allowed us to be a part of that giving-back process.”

M/I Homes partnered with Bridgeland and the Greater Houston Builders Associatio­n (GHBA) Benefit Homes Project to build M/I Homes’ Roseville Plan. Each year two to three homes are built for the project with donated land, constructi­on management, materials, labor and services by GHBA members.

These homes are constructe­d with upgrade materials and features and are sold at market value. Since the project began 39 years ago, over $11 million has been raised.

“M/I Homes has been honored to be a part of the Benefit Homes Project in 2019 in partnershi­p with Bridgeland/Howard Hughes and the GBHA,” said Kathy Delgado, vice president of sales and marketing. Knowing that the proceeds from the sale to the Webb family will go toward Operation Finally Home and HomeAid Houston, is very humbling.”

This is the second time M/I Homes has built a Benefit home and it is Howard

Hughes’ sixth donated lot in Bridgeland.

Bridgeland is an 11,400-acre masterplan­ned community located in Cypress. The community is consistent­ly ranked one of the top-selling master planned communitie­s in Texas throughout its 12-year history.

The award-winning developmen­t offers a wide variety of housing options and extensive outdoor amenities, with a strong emphasis on conserving and enhancing the natural environmen­t.

Bridgeland has over 3,000 acres dedicated to lakes, trails and parks, and offers a resort-style pool, disc-golf course, stocked lakes and compliment­ary use of kayaks, paddleboat­s and other recreation­al equipment for residents.

A second Benefit home is currently under constructi­on in Sierra Vista, a Land Tejas community.

HistoryMak­er Homes is bulding the home and Land Tejas donated the lot.
