The 64th Annual Parade of Homes is Officially Live as a Virtual Event

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The Home Builders Association of Greater Austin and The Reserve at Lake Travis, a McCombs Properties development, along with the Parade builders release the first-ever virtual Parade of Homes video tours. The Parade of Homes, which is typically held over consecutive weekends and draws over 6,000 visitors, was reimagined for the current climate to ensure the homes could be viewed in a safe way.

From now through the 26th, website visitors can "tour" each luxuriously decorated Parade home through virtual walkthroughs, HGTV-inspired video interviews with builders and designers, and curated photo galleries. At the end of the tours, visitors can cast their ballot for their favorite home.

"Imagine getting a personal and highly detailed tour of these luxe homes from the team that planned, built and decorated them," said Harry Adams, Managing Partner McCombs Properties, developer of The Reserve at Lake Travis. "The films are a fun and friendly curated tour guided by experts who will point out all the cool features, new home tech and fabulous finishes," he added.

This year's lineup of award-winning builders includes: Arbogast Custom Homes with their modern Farmhouse and courtyard oasis; Dalainey Performance Homes and their eclectic, multi-level custom home that combines art, music and architecture; Legacy DCS Homes with their perfect relaxation sanctuary that blends modern Farmhouse and Texas Hill Country aesthetics; Sterling Custom Homes and their luxurious lake house designed for the entertainer; and the Cypress Cove Treehouses, The Reserve's own one-of-a-kind collection designed to be the ultimate retreat for easy living.

For visitors interested in purchasing a Parade Home or building a custom home, private one-on-one tours with these builders are available by appointment.

The Home Builders Association of Greater Austin and The Reserve at Lake Travis to Hold Virtual ‘Parade of Homes’

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- In an effort to help contain the spread of Covid-19, The HBA of Greater Austin, McCombs Properties and the Parade builders made the decision to cancel live public tours of the Parade of Homes this year and hold virtual tours instead.

The previously scheduled dates to visit these homes have been cancelled, and all advance ticket purchases will be refunded. "The health and safety of the membership and of our community was paramount in us taking the tour virtual this year," said Joe Fowler, HBA Greater Austin Board President. "We feel confident that the virtual presentation we have put together will be just as exciting."

Beginning July 17, all five Parade homes will be available to tour virtually for free, complete with interviews with the builders, tips from the designers and the ability to source some of the most exciting new trends in home designs.

"Imagine getting a personal and highly detailed tour of these luxe homes from the team that planned, built and decorated them," said Harry Adams, Managing Partner McCombs Properties, developer of The Reserve at Lake Travis. "The films will be a fun and friendly curated tour guided by experts who will point out all the cool features, new home tech and fabulous finishes," he added.

At the end of the tours, the public will be able to cast their ballot for their favorite home.

Austin area Realtors will also still have a special opportunity to preview the homes with a sneak peek on July 16. "Many of our HBA members are Realtors and we are pleased to offer a special preview of the virtual tours to them and their clients in advance of the public release," remarked HBA CEO Taylor Jackson.

The Parade of Homes video tours will feature custom homes from Arbogast Homes, Dalainey Performance Homes, Legacy DCS Homes, Sterling Custom Homes as well as the developer's showcase home, The Cypress Club Treehouse.

For those interested in purchasing or building a custom home, private, one-on-one tours with the builders will be available by appointment from July 17-26, 2020.

John Cannon Homes Sweeps 2016 Parade of Homes, Wins 16 Awards, 4 Best Overall

SARASOTA, Fla., March 4, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- John Cannon Homes was the most recognized home builder in this year's Parade of Homes, sweeping the competition with sixteen awards including four in the category of "Best Overall," in a presentation held Thursday by the Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association.

John Cannon Homes was awarded Best Overall for The Akarra III in The Vineyards at The Lake Club; The Avianna at The Concession; The Caaren, in The Links at Rosedale; and The Kiandra in Seacroft at Country Club East. The Akarra III was also recognized for Best Architectural Detail, Best Floor Plan, Best Kitchen and Best Master Suite; The Avianna won for Best Architectural Detail and Best Master Suite; The Caaren took the award for Best Curb Appeal and Best Master Suite; and The Kiandra won for Best Curb Appeal, Best Floor Plan and Best Kitchen. Cannon's new showcase home, The Miah, was awarded Best Kitchen in its category.

"We are extremely proud of the accolades we received at the Parade of Homes," John Cannon, President, said, who has won over 300 Parade of Homes awards in the company's history. "We have an experienced team that has been together, some for more than 20 years, who know how to work together. Not many builders have a team in place that does it all - and as well - as we do."

Cannon explained that he feels their award-winning success for their models reflect years of listening to clients effectively, something that brings additional value to both the builder and client in the process. "We feel that every award we receive is an acknowledgement of our commitment in responding to our clients' needs and their desires, which in turn is reflected in our models and design.

"Everything we do with our models, we do for our clients. Value engineering, construction management, quality control, personal design consultation, are all components in successful building, not just the end result of architectural and interior design and all of these go into building a John Cannon home.

"The feedback, working one-on-one with our clients, the constant exchange with them makes us better builders and designers," he said, "and they respond with praise and recognition. "Our customers really are the ones that guide us in setting the bar to the highest level."

"There is a difference, obviously, between a Mercedes and other cars," Cannon said. "Any car can get you to your destination, but as our clients remind us, it's not just what you pay for the home that makes the difference - it's the overall value of the home for years to come."

In the Sub-Contractor categories, Coast to Coast Pools, was awarded Best Pool Design for four John Cannon Homes; The Akarra III, The Avianna, The Baylee and The Kiandra models. Pool Design Concepts received the Best Pool Design for The Miah. Artistree Landscape Design was also awarded Best Landscape Design for The Akarra III model. Photographs, floor plans and virtual tours of these winning homes can be viewed by visiting http://www.johncannonhomes.com/.

There were 110 single-family home entries considered in the competition. The award-winning Cannon models range in size from 2,800 to 5,000 square feet and showcase nearly 30 years of John Cannon's Design/Build expertise. In addition to these awards, last week John Cannon Homes was again acknowledged as Best Builder in Sarasota-Manatee County by readers of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, an award he has received for the past 24 consecutive years.

Along with his six current homes, Cannon's new model at MiraBay on Tampa's South Shore will be featured in the Tampa Bay Parade of Homes, beginning March 5, 2016.

The Manatee-Sarasota Building Industry Association (MSBIA) is a membership driven networking and advocacy group focused on the needs of the building & development industry and related business in Manatee and Sarasota Counties, according to their website. As of September 2015, there are more than 325 members comprised of builders, developers, local municipalities, consultants and supporting businesses. The association is affiliated with both the Florida Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders.
