MIAMI, FL – The Modern Miami, a 16-story luxury
rental community in downtown Miami, has donated more than 1,300 unused building
materials to Habitat for Humanity to support development of affordable housing
in Miami-Dade County, announced owner Waterton Residential.
The items were donated to Habitat for Humanity of Greater
Miami, which will sell the materials at a ReStore location in suburban Cutler
Bay.
Proceeds from the items, which include lighting fixtures,
showerheads and ADA-compliant bathroom sinks, will be used to build and
renovate hundreds of homes for low-income families in the Miami area.
“Our company owns and operates properties in 15 states
across the country, and we believe it’s important to give back to each of the
communities we call home,” said Pete Vilim, co-founder of Chicago-based
Waterton Residential. “This donation is just one way of doing that and reflects
our ongoing commitment to providing quality housing to the residents of greater
Miami.”

dream of homeownership.
“We are grateful to the Modern Miami for assisting Habitat
for Humanity in its effort to provide affordable housing to lower income
families in the Miami area,” said Missy Monokian, director of Miami
