Model Reuse

After Avatar Properties dismantled the 13 homes in its original model home park in the active adult community Solivita in Poinciana, Fla., it opted to donate all of the materials to Habitat for Humanity’s Home Store in Orlando, Fla. The gift was one of the largest donations the resale store had ever received. Proceeds from sales of the materials—which included furniture, kitchen cabinets, light fixtures, doors, jetted tubs, and windows—netted Habitat for Humanity nearly $50,000.
