or more than 48 years, Friendswood Development has been a recognized name in community development. Their name
has also been synonymous with community involvement as they continually step up whenever needed. Most recently, Friendswood has helped the Houston area community by donating a homesite to the Greater Houston Builders Association’s Benefit Homes Project in Oakhurst at Kingwood. This contribution will ultimately benefit Texas Children’s Hospital, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. Since the Benefit Homes Project began 30 years ago, nearly $6 million has been raised.
Village Builders, a part of the Lennar family of builders constructed a home on the Friendswood site for the Project. The home was constructed with donated materials, labor and services by GHBA members.
For nearly half a century, Friendswood Development Company has been building and perfecting the concept of the master-planned community in Houston, Texas. Friendswood has pioneered new ways of life throughout Houston that feature some of the first greenbelts, recreation centers and pocket parks. In the early ‘70s, while Intel introduced its first microprocessor,
Friendswood Development Company introduced generations of families to the natural wonders of The Livable Forest, also known as Kingwood. Other communities would soon follow.
