Lennar Breaks Ground on Building Homes for Heroes Project Announcement Via Building Homes for Heroes Facebook Page :

An unforgettable day in Whiting, NJ! We broke ground on a brand-new, mortgage-free home for U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Bertalan Gonci—and we’re thrilled to be doing it with our incredible partner, Lennar Homes. Our last home together in Indiana was absolutely stunning, and Lennar made the process unforgettable for our hero and his family. Now, they’re bringing that same heart and excellence to New Jersey. Thank you, Lennar, for helping us build better and brighter futures. To SFC Gonci, your service means the world. We can’t wait to welcome you home.

The groundbreaking took place on May 13, 2025 with many SBACNJ members, as well as Mayor Joseph Hankins, members of the Township Council, and Ocean County Commissioner Robert Arace, members of the Manchester Police, and volunteer and career first responders were on hand to support this initiative by Lennar. Another special connection to this project for SBACNJ Past President Michael J. Kokes and Kokes Properties, whose family once owned this property. Michael attended the ground breaking event as well, coming full circle and an acknowledgment of the land “being put to exception use”, as he states.
