Westin builds Benefit home in Lago Mar
Westin Homes has teamed up with the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) to build one of two homes for the GHBA’s annual fundraiser, the Benefit Homes Project.
The home is Westin’s Carter III plan, which is nearing sheetrock state of construction. The home is being built on a lot donated by Land Tejas in its new Lago Mar community off I-45 in the Clear Lake and Galveston area.
Westin has recruited its vendors and suppliers to donate materials, labor and services. The homes are sold at market value and sales proceeds benefit local charities. This year the project benefits HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home. Since the charity fundraiser began 37 years ago, $10 million has been raised.
Westin’s 4,019-squarefoot Carter III B elevation plan will include five bedrooms (two on the first floor), 4½ bathrooms and a two-car garage with 5 additional feet that can be used for extra storage or a workshop.
The foyer offers a view of the triple-tiered rotunda ceiling and curved stairway. The home includes a formal dining room, study and a two-story family room that features a wall of windows.
The island kitchen, with upgraded cabinets and breakfast area, is the heart of the home.
The private master suite will include a double-tiered tray ceiling with no bedrooms above. Upstairs are a game room and adjacent media room. Outside the rear of the home is a covered patio.
“With over 20 years of building homes in the Houston area, Westin recognizes the importance of giving back to the community that has awarded us such prosperity over the years,” said Patrick Mayhan, vice president of purchasing. “When we were approached by the GHBA to participate in the Benefit Homes Project, we immediately jumped at the chance. The Westin team shares a giving spirit and understands how important it is to give back through the industry in which we work. We could not be more pleased to help contribute to ... HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home.”
Westin Homes has built its reputation as a highquality builder in prime communities in Houston and surrounding areas.
“Westin’s focus has always been about customer satisfaction, architectural design and attention to detail,” said Will Holder, chairman of the Project. “They are true professionals in the homebuilding industry, and their generosity reflects their commitment to both their home buyer and the community.”
Construction has been completed for a second Benefit home. Chesmar Homes built its 2,733-square-foot Poplar plan in the west Houston community of Elyson off Grand Parkway and FM 529. Newland Communities donated the homesite. The home is open for visitors and is on the market.
