The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs announced the winners of the People’s Choice Awards and the Industry Awards of Excellence for the 2021 Parade of Homes, held Sept. 10-26. This year’s featured homes ranged in price from the mid $300,000’s to $5,912,000; 17 builders presented 18 homes located throughout the Pikes Peak Region for the 67th Annual Parade of Homes.

The HBA Parade of Homes offers the public a first-hand look at current trends and innovations in new home design. This three-week event showcases the latest design trends in affordable living to luxury dream homes complete with every amenity imaginable.

Industry professionals from around the state judged the homes for the Industry Awards based on criteria established for that award category. The coveted People’s Choice Awards are voted on by Parade of Homes attendees who visited each home in that price category. Both the People’s Choice and the Industry Awards are broken out into multiple price categories. Industry Awards are then further divided among the following six categories: Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, Best Interior Design, Best Exterior, Best Architectural Exterior and Best Overall Home.

On Oct. 6, recipients the People’s Choice and Industry Awards were honored by the HBA at the Parade of Homes Awards Banquet at the Colorado Springs Marriott, with more than 180 people in attendance. Kat Country 95.1’ Bo Jaxson was the emcee. Event sponsors were Pikes Peak Regional Building Department and Moen.
