Fischer & Frichtel to Build St. Jude Dream Home for 2nd Consecutive Year
Posted by Elizabeth on March 11, 2011
Success breeds success, and Fischer & Frichtel has once again been chosen to build the 2011 St. Jude Dream Home® .
In 2010, Fischer & Frichtel was honored to be selected as the builder for the first St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway program ever conducted in the St. Louis area. Demonstrating the legendary generosity of St. Louisans, last year’s campaign achieved the fastest sell-out in the history of the nationwide event, which originated in 1991.
The annual Giveaway is one of the largest single-event fundraisers benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the world-renowned pediatric cancer research center located in Memphis, Tennessee. All proceeds go directly to the hospital and support its mission of finding cures and treating children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.
The 2011 Dream Home will be a spectacular “Wyndham,” a brand new story-&-a-half plan from Fischer & Frichtel’s upscale Heritage Collection, designed by Barry Glantz, Glantz Associates Architects. The first of this model ever to be built, construction of the home is expected to begin in late March in Village E at Talbridge, an established 187-acre residential development on Friedens Road in St. Charles.
According to project manager Chris Fischer, the basic 4-bedroom, 3-1/2 bath Wyndham provides 3,750 square feet of living space and introduces a new central kitchen layout. Plans for the Dream Home version, which will be dramatically customized, are currently on the drawing table. Preliminary estimates value the home in the mid- to upper $500,000s.
Talbridge ranks among the top-selling neighborhoods in the metro area and features several villages linked by a beautifully landscaped parkway, lakes, creeks, gazebos, and “community greens,” parcels of greenspace that serve as common areas for residents’ use..
Scheduling for Dream Home Giveaway activities – groundbreaking, open house tours, availability of raffle tickets, and the televised drawing – is now being finalized. Fox 2-KTVI will again be the campaign’s electronic media partner.
A leader in the St. Louis new home industry since 1945, Fischer & Frichtel is currently building in 16 quality neighborhoods. As the campaign gets underway, regular updates on construction of the Dream Home and the Giveaway agenda will be posted on the builder’s website, FandFHomes.com.

This is one great home for a great cause. I have always supported St. Jude’s childrens hospital as much as I could with the little that I have. I take my family to places where homebuilders build new model homes and dream of someday owning one. after seeing the Wyndham model I fell in love with the home and it’s open floorplan. The winner would be sooo lucky!
