Friendswood Development Company and Village Builders are teaming up to carry on a 30-year tradition in Houston that has raised millions of dollars for local charities.
The 2010 Greater Houston Builders Association’s Benefit Homes Project will feature a new home built by Village Builders on a home site donated by Friendswood Development Company in its Oakhurst at Kingwood community.
For more than three decades, the GHBA has worked with its member partners resulting in raising more than $5 million for local charities. This year once again, proceeds from the sale of the home will benefit Texas Children’s Cancer Center, The Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston.
“We’re proud to be a part of this important project that enables us to give back to the community and great organizations that help the young, the elderly and the less fortunate,” said Tim Fitzpatrick, Community Development Manager for Oakhurst at Kingwood. “We appreciate all of the hard work and efforts of all of the donors and volunteers who bring the Benefit Homes Project together are confident that once again, the result will be a great success.”
Ground breaking for the Village Builders home is planned for this month and is expected to be completed by late spring.

Each year, the Greater Houston Builders Association recognizes industry members for their outstanding contributions to the design and development of new homes and communities at an awards ceremony that was renamed this year to Houston’s Best (formerly the PRISM awards).
This year, once again, Friendswood Development Company was honored for its innovative efforts in reaching new-home buyers and Realtors who work with buyers in their search for a new home.
Friendswood Development Company was awarded Best Website by a Developer and Best Internet Marketing Campaign by a Developer for the creative new websites and promotions implemented into FriendswoodDevelopment.com and websites for each of our communities.
“Consumers spend a lot of time on the Internet before they ever get in the car to start their new home search. Understanding this, Friendswood Development Company has made their websites and online presence top priority and it’s the main focus of their advertising campaign,” said Cheryl Perry of Boe Creative Services, Friendswood Development Company’s advertising agency. “This award comes at a time when everyone in the residential real estate industry understands the importance of a great website, so the competition was very strong.”
