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 an up-close-and-personal look at some of the region’s residential builders over the next three weekends as part of an annual event.

The Cape Coral Construction Industry Association’s 2024 Builders’ Showcase of Homes starts today, as 24 of the Cape’s best creators and designers display 30 different models for prospective buyers, or just anyone, to tour over three weekends.

“The showcase is in its 28th year of celebrating Cape Coral’s finest builders,” said CCCIA Executive Director Lynn Boldissar. “This event is so impactful because it brings knowledge, networking, inspiration, community building while celebrating achievements and also contributes to the growth, development, and cohesion of the industry as a whole.”

Model homes will be open to the public this weekend, next weekend, as well as the weekend of Feb. 2.

Touring hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. All but one of the home models are located in Cape Coral (one in North Fort Myers), 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.

This could also be a great opportunity to chat with local builders and designers on renovations or repairs still needed following Hurricane Ian.

At press time Thursday, the CCCIA’s Builders’ Showcase of Homes awards presentation was set to take place at La Venezia Ballroom Thursday night to recognize those who stood out among the rest.
