Creative Homes is proud to build the St. Jude Dream Home Showplace in Lake Elmo within our North Star community. This home is more than just a custom build. It is a powerful example of how homebuilding can make a real difference in the lives of families. By partnering with dedicated local trade partners who have donated their time, labor, and materials, this Dream Home represents generosity, craftsmanship, and community impact.
For the teams helping bring this home to life, the experience goes beyond construction. It is about being part of something meaningful. Halverson Concrete shared the following about their experience: “We take pride in the work we do every day but being part of something bigger than just a concrete foundation has been really cool. It’s not just another job site for us. It’s something our whole team can feel good about being part of, and it’s a great feeling knowing we are contributing to something with a much bigger purpose.” This shared purpose is what makes the St. Jude Dream Home in Lake Elmo truly special. Every partner involved is contributing to a mission that extends far beyond building a home.
The impact of this project is rooted in the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. This allows them to focus entirely on their child’s health and healing. From Halverson Concrete: As parents, we can’t imagine what it would be like to face a serious illness with one of our kids while also worrying about the financial side of it. That’s what makes St. Jude so meaningful—the focus is on the child and the family, not the cost of care. Knowing families can put all their energy into their child’s healing is powerful. If we can play even a small part in supporting that, it’s absolutely worth it.” Even for those without a direct connection, the impact is clear and deeply felt.
As the home continues to take shape in the North Star community, excitement is building for what it will represent. From Halverson Concrete: “We’re really looking forward to seeing the finished home and what it represents. For us, being part of the foundation—literally and figuratively—means a lot. It’s the starting point for something that will go on to support so many families. We’re excited to step back at the end and see how everything came together and know we played a part in something that will make a real difference.”

Hear from the Nordby's about their build experience.
We had an exceptional experience with Creative Homes and would recommend them to anyone. Not only did we get a well-built home, but the customer service exceeded our expectations. From our first meeting, to well-after we closed on our new home, the Creative Homes team made us feel like we were family. We already know we want Creative Homes to build our next home (in many, many years)!
From the initial conversations and choosing our lot and floor plan, to our design meeting and the actual build itself Creative's team made us feel at ease and went above and beyond. We felt like they truly cared and looked out for our best interests.
