UPPER KEYS HABITAT EMBARKING ON ITS LARGEST DEVELOPMENT YET

American Caribbean Real Estate is proud to be a sponsor and volunteer supporter of Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys which broke ground this summer on what is considered its "biggest single undertaking in our affiliate's 22-year history.

The non-profit is building a seven-home single family development on a 5,875-square-foot lot at Mile Marker 97, oceanside called Mandalay.

The first two-bedroom, three-bath house is scheduled to be build by the holidays. In all, Habitat is building five three-bedroom 1,160-square-foot homes and two 1,134-square-foot homes. Construction on the rest of the homes is scheduled to begin in the spring. The houses will be built on 8-foot columns and parking will be underneath.

Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976. The non-governmental, non-profit builds houses for lower-income families who are expected to help build the home. The families pay a down payment and monthly no-interest mortgage, but the homes cannot be sold for profit, according to Habitat's website."
