A Message From the HBA President

Welcome to the 2010 Parade of Homes! We invite you to visit these outstanding

model homes filled with the latest in new green designs and technologies for energy conservation and sustainability. Located in several amazing neighborhoods and developments that showcase Florida’s West Coast living at its best, these 35 models and developments boast quality, craftsmanship and function with many new creative designs. What may be different this year will be the adaptation of bringing the traditional styling of West Coast living in more affordable offerings by our builder members.

The Parade of Homes kicks off on Feb. 20 and continues through March 7. We also invite you to experience another difference this year for the Parade of Homes and visit our Web site, www.paradeofhomesinfo.com. Here, you can view and re-review videos of the beautiful models, developments and several other videos of products and services that can be installed in your new home.

Manatee-Sarasota is a community that offers that unique

Florida lifestyle to fit your personal needs and desires. The 2010 Parade of Homes is the best opportunity to get a first-hand view, touch and feel for your next NEW home.

The Florida lifestyle we all seek is available, along with a high quality of life right here in Manatee and Sarasota. The Home Builders Association and our members all share that vision and are proud to present the 2010 Parade of Homes. The Home Builders Association serves as an advocate for housing issues

and partners with local and state government to ensure that high standards of construction and development are met while incorporating sensitivity to the natural surroundings that reflect our commitment to enhancing our community’s quality of life.

“Everyone Loves a Parade,” so enjoy, have a great time and Welcome Home!
