Sierra Vista is the site of GHBA Benefit home
Land Tejas, A Houston residential developer for 20 years, has delivered more than 28,000 homes across 16,500 acres.
One community is home to one of the
GHBA’s Benefit homes. Land Tejas donated a lot to HistoryMaker Homes so it could construct its Alder plan for the 40-year-old GHBA charity fundraiser. Land Tejas has proven to be a long-time supporter of the association which is reflected in their generous donation of 17 lots.
The Benefit Homes Project partners with Houston’s home builders, developers, trades, suppliers and vendors to raise funds for local charities through the sale of the Benefit homes.
The homes are built with donated materials, labor, services, the homesite as well as closing costs. Proceeds from the sale of the home benefit two local charities — HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home.
With the donation of their 17th lot, Land Tejas has contributed an estimated total value of over $1,110,000 to the GHBA Benefit Homes Project.
HistoryMaker Homes recently completed its Benefit home. It is a 3,176square-foot two-story featuring an open design with five bedrooms and four baths. This plan showcases a downstairs master bedroom and a game room upstairs as well as a three-car garage.
“We are honored to partner with Land Tejas on this valuable fundraiser,” HistoryMaker Houston Division president, Mickey Pizzitola said. “They have established a long history of innovative planning and development that has driven their success all around the Houston area. We are excited to have completed the home and look forward to showcasing it to the public.”

Sterling Lakes. These include a junior olympic pool, poolside cabana, SplashPad Texas Waterpark, a recreation center and exercise facility, hike and bike trails and a sand volley ball court.
“The Land Tejas GHBA partnership is a huge factor in why the GHBA’s annual charity fundraiser has been so successful,” said Rob Hellyer, 2020 president of GHBA. “Al Brende, co-owner of Land Tejas has shared the vision of the Benefit Homes
Project for two decades. His generosity has served the Benefit homes charities well. The addition of History Maker Homes in this partnership is a win for the charities and for the buyer of this beautiful home.”
“One of the very first things we did when setting up Land Tejas was to develop a partnership with the GHBA,” said Brende. “When they approached us with the first Benefit homes opportunity in 1998, we jumped at the chance. Not only does this cause help the greater Houston community, but it strengthens our bond with the builders who have been so loyal to us over the years. It is extremely gratifying to witness the impact the Benefit homes project has made by helping those in need.
“We are also honored to partner with HistoryMaker on this program and expect their home to sell quickly.”
