The Best of the Bay Area

Winners of the Tampa Bay Builders Association’s 2009 Parade of Homes—the first to include virtual model-home entries—were announced recently during an awards ceremony in Clearwater.
This year’s spring parade encompassed more than 60 entries in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties.

Another first in this year’s parade was the unveiling of two Showcase Homes, both in Lithia's FishHawk Ranch, the award-winning master-planned community developed by Newland Communities. They were Sabal Homes’ Gulfview 2 and Cardel Homes’? The Gulfstream.

A panel of Tampa Bay-area 
Realtors evaluated the entries on site plan, curb appeal, design, materials, outdoor living spaces, architectural detailing and workmanship. Grand and merit awards were given to homes in specific single-family and multifamily price ranges. For further information visit www.tampabayparadeofhomes.com.
