The Best of the Best
This year’s Spring Parade of Homes™, sponsored by the Tampa Bay Builders Association, featured more than 50 beautifully furnished models including single-family homes, townhomes and highrise condos throughout Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. Prices ranged from the $140s to more than $1 million. As usual, the event was professionally judged and the winners in each category are shown on the following pages.
