Colorado Springs, CO (October 6, 2023) — The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs (HBA) announced the winners of the People’s Choice Awards and the Industry Awards of Excellence for the 2023 Parade of Homes. This year’s featured homes ranged in price from the mid-350,000’s to more than $4,400,000. 21 builders presented 35 homes located throughout the Pikes Peak Region for the 69th Annual Parade of Homes, including 4 featured communities: Wolf Ranch, Banning Lewis Ranch, Winsome, and Mayberry Communities.
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 Wednesday, October 4, recipients of both the People’s Choice and Industry Awards were honored by the HBA at the Parade of Homes Awards Banquet held at the Colorado Springs Marriott with more than 215 people in attendance. Loving Living Local’s Nova was the emcee of the evening. The sponsors of this year’s Award banquet were Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Quantum Fiber, Arlun Inc., and Ent Credit Union.
