ORLANDO, FL – Centerline Homes and Emerson International, the developer of Eagle Creek, announced today that all proceeds from the 2012 Builder Concept Home Series showcase will go to the Central Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help end breast cancer forever.
The Concept Home Series, sponsored by Builder Magazine, is an annual showcase that spotlights important shifts in home design, building products and community development. The 2012 show, dubbed “A Concept for the Ages,” will include three distinct homes, each reflecting the lifestyle needs of a generation, specifically Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y.
The concept homes will first be unveiled to delegates at the International Builders Show in Orlando from February 8-11. The homes will be open to the public from February 18-26, with all proceeds from admissions going to the Central Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
“We’re honored to be chosen by the leaders of the national homebuilding industry to build the three concept homes,” said Robert Hutson, President of Centerline Homes’ Central Florida Division.
“The Concept Homes Series annually attracts thousands of people who want to see the latest trends, building products and design strategies, so we wanted to partner with a local organization to benefit Central Florida. We chose Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which has been a leader in breast cancer awareness and research,” Hutson said.
He added they expect more than 10,000 people will tour the homes when they open in February.
“These are truly new, trendsetting designs for each specific generation,” Hutson said. “The design team has translated the lifestyle needs of each group within the context of a home ranging in size from 2,200 to 4,700 square feet. Members of each generation will find these homes exciting and innovative.”
Centerline Homes, one of the leading homebuilders in Central Florida, is building the Concept Home Series at Eagle Creek, a prestigious golf community being developed by Emerson International. Eagle Creek is located in southeast Orlando, adjacent to the burgeoning Medical City at Lake Nona, the health care cluster that includes the Sanford-Burnham Institute, VA Hospital and Nemours Children’s Hospital, among others.
In addition to Centerline Homes and Emerson International, the project team for the 15th Concept Home Series includes:
- Woodley Architectural Group, Inc., of Littleton, Colo., which designed the Baby Boomer and the Gen Y models.
- Canin Associates of Orlando, which designed the Gen X model and is doing the landscape architecture for all of the homes.
- Kay Green Design, Inc. of Orlando, which is doing the interior design for all of the homes.
The Central Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was established in 1999 and serves nine counties in Central Florida. Up to 75% of the net proceeds raised by this affiliate stay within the Central Florida community to fund outreach programs and initiatives that address the specific unmet breast health needs within the nine county service area. To date, the affiliate has raised over $5 million through various fundraising events, including the annual Race for the Cure.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the global leader of the breast cancer movement, having invested more than $1 billion since its inception in 1982.
