Local builders will show off their best home work in a group of houses in a wide variety of price ranges and sizes, said Dickson Clements, executive director of sponsor Builders Association Corpus Christi Area. The homes are throughout the city, as far apart as Calallen and Padre Island. The models in the parade will be open between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends between June 19 and 27. The homes will feature the latest in technology and design. The homes this year have an emphasis on floor plans that flow well for family living, on prewiring for sound and security systems, as well as new looks in houses, Clements said.
Visitors can talk directly with the builders and take note of the company's style.
They can also look at floor plans or other work done by builders. Maps and descriptions of the homes will be available for free at all area Coastal Maverick Markets beginning June 17. The Caller-Times will also print a map and description of the homes in the June 18 edition. More information about each of the builders is provided in the homes in the Parade. As an added incentive to visit all 15 homes, tickets with stamps from all of the homes will be entered into a drawing for a trip for two to Cancun, Mexico.
