CBI partnered with Habitat for Humanity and team members from Fitch Irick Corporation as we all put our hard hats and tool belts on to build four of the nine total houses that will be constructed for Habitat for Humanity located on Sturtevant St. in Greenville.
The Sturtevant Street houses sit on 1.708 acres donated by Fitch Irick Corporation and Creative Builders, Inc. in 2021 after Fitch Irick and Creative Builders developed The Assembly Apartments, a rental community featuring 384 units built over two phases between 2017 and 2022, said Hollis Fitch, CEO of Fitch Irick Corporation. There was a remaining parcel of land that was not going to be used.
“We talked about a lot of things that could be done with it, but we kept coming back to giving back somehow,” Fitch said. “Habitat seemed like an ideal fit because their goals and ours lined up almost perfectly.”
But donating the land was just the start. Both firms agreed to help build four of the nine houses on Sturtevant in the Bramlett community. Creative Builders is also a long-time Habitat Greenville supporter and has taken part in CEO Builds in the past. Teams from both companies were on site Friday building together.
“Philanthropy is one of our core values,” said Will McCauley, president of Creative Builders. “We strongly believe in giving back to the community. We have donated time, materials, monies, and talents over the years to many local nonprofits.”
