Showcase of Homes opens today

By CJ HADDAD - | Jan 19, 2023

Looking for the perfect home tailored to your wants and needs or hoping to find the right builder to make upgrades?

Future and current Southwest Florida homeowners can get a first-hand look at some of the area’s most talented builders over the next three weekends as part of an annual event.

The Cape Coral Construction Industry Association’s 2023 Builders’ Showcase of Homes starts today, as 13 of the Cape’s best creators and designers display 14 different models for prospective buyers, or just anyone, to tour over three weekends.

“It’s a tour of the most sought-after models in the ever-growing city of Cape Coral,” said CCCIA Executive Director Lynn Boldissar.

Model homes will be open to the public this weekend, next weekend, as well as the weekend of Feb. 3.

Touring hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. All of the home models are located in Cape Coral, varying in location from northwest to southwest.

Those who visit locations in the showcase will find there’s something for all walks of life and budget to explore. The event also helps connect potential buyers with builders who can work together in the future to design exactly what you may be looking for. Model homes on display range from $400,000 well into the millions.

Whether you’re looking for your final home, looking to see what’s out there, or wondering what’s being offered, the Showcase of Homes is a great weekend out for any who has the chance to experience it.

“It’s a great opportunity to talk with the model home’s sales staff on-hand to be able to answer any detailed questions you have,” Boldissar said. “It will give you a wide range for budget options and different design styles/features you can see all in one day.”

The CCCIA’s Builders’ Showcase of Homes awards presentation took place at Palmetto Pine County Club Thursday night to recognize those who stood out among the rest.
