For the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio, assigning a theme to the annual Parade of Homes is standard operating procedure.
But this year, the houses on the tour are so impressive, the BIA eschewed an official theme in favor of simply letting the homes speak for themselves.
“This year’s Parade of Homes will provide for one of the most spectacular showcases of home design, construction and décor that we’ve seen in a long time,” says Mike Poleway of Event Marketing Group, which is overseeing marketing efforts for the Parade.
Low-density lots, walkout basements and scenic views are among the general offerings visible at properties along th
e tour.
The 2014 Parade of Homes will take place July 19-Aug. 3 at Trails End, located in Liberty Township in southern Delaware County. When complete, Trails End will have 148 homes on 216 acres.
The neighborhood is being developed by the Edward Land Company, which most recently hosted the 2009 Parade at Tartan Ridge. Home prices there range from $600,000 to $1 million.
This year’s builders are 3 Pillar Homes, Bob Webb Homes, Compass Homes, Coppertree Homes, Dani Homes Ltd., M/I Homes, P & D Builders Ltd., Romanelli & Hughes, Silvestri Group LLC, Trinity Homes, Truberry Custom Homes and Weaver Custom Homes. 3 Pillar is building this year’s Foundation Home.
Admission is $15 at the parade entrance. Visit www.biaparade.com for more information.
