COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE : Developer Undertakes Charity Project for Children’s Home
- Share via
The charity project was supposed to take one day and cost about $60,000 in time and materials. But the project ended up requiring three days and cost an additional $10,000.
“A waterline got broken, which complicated things,” said Jan Standley, spokeswoman for Catellus Development Corp.
The Anaheim office of the San Francisco-based developer donated its efforts--and then some--last weekend to installing a private sewer system at Hillview Acres Children’s Home in Chino. Catellus recently took the home for abused children under its wing and eventually plans to refurbish the center’s campus and cottages.
“We decided that we want to give something back to the community,” Standley said.
Prizio & Prizio General Contractors of Fountain Valley also donated elbow grease to the project. Twenty-five Southern California companies pitched in to help foot the bill.
