Hanson Builders Breaks Ground on First-Ever St. Jude Dream Home® Showplace in Minnesota

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hanson Builders, a leading Minnesota home construction company, is proud to announce the groundbreaking ceremony for the state's first-ever St. Jude Dream Home® Showplace. This initiative reflects Hanson Builders' deep commitment to community service and supporting children battling life-threatening illnesses.

Located in the desirable Evanswood neighborhood of Maple Grove, Minn., this stunning new $1.5 to $2 million home will be built entirely for the benefit of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. The project aims to raise significant funds for St. Jude's lifesaving mission through the eventual sale of the home.

Building Homes, Building Hope
"At Hanson Builders, we believe in building more than just homes; we believe in building communities," said Luke Hanson, VP of Strategy at Hanson Builders. "This project allows us to give back in a meaningful way, supporting St. Jude's critical mission to ensure that no child is denied treatment because of their family's financial situation."

A Dream Home with a Purpose
This exceptional residence will showcase Hanson Builders' dedication to quality craftsmanship, featuring innovative design elements and sustainable building practices. The home will be open to the public for viewing during the Fall 2025 Parade of Homes as a Dream Home. Prospective homeowners who purchase this remarkable property will not only acquire a beautiful residence, but with net proceeds benefiting St. Jude families, they are also a part of St. Jude's mission: Finding cures. Saving children®.

Collaboration for a Brighter Future
This project is a testament to the power of collaboration. We are grateful for the participation of Showplace builders and national sponsors like Brizo, Shaw Industries, Trane, Bosch, and Kichler Lighting, whose unwavering dedication makes this dream a reality.
