“This group of builders is a fantastic mix of veteran parade participants and brand-new ones,” said Jim Hilz, Executive Director, BIA of Central Ohio. “We welcome each of them to the largest single-site parade in Ohio and one of our proudest showcases of the talent of our central Ohio builders.”

Bob Webb Homes

Dani Homes

Kevin Knight & Company

M/I Homes

New England Homes

Tuckerman Home Group

Weaver Custom Homes Inc.

The Zeppernick Company Custom Homes

“The location of this parade right in the center of New Albany makes it quite special because it is so convenient to dining, our schools, library and award-winning arts center,” said NACO President Bill Ebbing.  “We have worked with these builders to not only assure that this is a memorable parade, but the best start of what will be a truly dynamic new neighborhood in New Albany.  We look forward to their outstanding homes and the legacy that they will leave our entire community.”

M/I Homes will celebrate its 25th year as a parade participant, the longest of any builder in parade history.

Feb 9-10 / 2010 Parade Ackerly Park, Builders

Announcing the 2010 Parade: Ackerly Park in New Albany.

We’re pleased to announce that next year’s Parade (okay, we know we still aren’t finished with this year’s event, but why wait to share good news?) will take place at a beautiful site in the heart of the New Albany community: Ackerly Park.

In 1991 and 1992, the BIA Parade of Homes was one of the first opportunities for people to see the new New Albany community; the event also returned there in 1999.   The 2010 Parade site  is within walking distance of the majority of the New Albany community’s amenities:  Market Square, the school campus, several places of worshiop, and the McCoy Center for the Performing Arts.

If you are a builder interested in participating in next year’s Parade, let Jim Hilz at the BIA office know.  The lot selection will likely take place by the end of September/early October.

For a map of the site and the complete press release, visit the Ackerly Park page on this web site.   And help us welcome back the New Albany Company as a host developer for the Parade!

Knight, Duffy and Gossing Take Top 2009 Parade Awards

Leading the pack with 12 awards, Kevin Knight was the standout in the crowd at the annual awards ceremony that took place tonight at the 2009 BIA Parade of Homes preview party at Tartan Ridge in Dublin.   Knight’s generational farm house with reclaimed wood floors, a live roof garden, an 18 foot retractable wall into a central courtyard garden, unique floor plan and overall design set the entry apart.

Duffy Homes by Michael Edwards with its French country chateau adorned with original antiques from Provence, dramatic interior stone wall, elegant first floor master suite and functional floor plan came in with eight awards.

Gossing Construction, which won best exterior architecture for its unique craftsman-style approach, also won five more awards highlighting it’s stunning entryway, greatroom and inviting arts & crafts interiors.

Below you will find a complete list of all award winners and accompanying photos for each category.  We encourage you to make sure to visit the Parade to see these building, design and landscape awardees in person.

Many thanks to the nine judges (listed with the awards) who took a whole day out of their busy schedules to help with the judging on Wednesday.  Touring eleven homes with a critical eye was a big job and we appreciate their service to the BIA!

Builder Countdown with M/I Homes

We suspect Teresa Lynn Collins from M/I Homes has a pretty nice closet at home, but we doubt she has three like they have built in this year’s Parade home.  Meaning three really big ones right in the master suite.   In this video, she talks about this favorite idea (And for those of us who have gotten a sneak preview of the woman’s closet all finished, we’re pretty sure the vaulted ceiling puts it in contention for the gold in the fanciest closet olympics!).

The  BIA Foundation Home, built by the Tuckerman Home Group in the 2008 BIA Parade of Homes in Gahanna at the Village at Hannah Farms, helped to generate a $20,000 contribution to the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation.  Pictured here at the check presentation is Craig Tuckerman, President of Tuckerman Home Group presenting a check to Terry Rosen, M.D., Director of Outpatient Services at The Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.  This contribution is partially designated to the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s.

The BIA Foundation House is a special designation given to one home at the annual BIA Parade of Homes where the builder agrees to donate a portion of the sale of the house to the BIA Foundation, which then traditionally donates a portion of the funds to Nationwide Children’s.

The BIA is grateful to the Tuckerman Home Group and all of its trade partners for helping the BIA to make such a generous contribution.
