The annual event took place June 5-7 and June 12-14, bringing participating homes across Northwest Florida together through the first collaboration between BBIA and BIAOW. This regional partnership broadened the event’s reach and created a single Parade of Homes magazine featuring model homes throughout the area.
During the event, Kolter Homes featured the Madison model at Salt Grass at Ward Creek in Panama City Beach and the Orchid model at NatureWalk at Watersound Origins in Inlet Beach.
“Participating in the BBIA and BIAOW Parade of Homes allowed us to showcase the variety of lifestyles and home designs available through Kolter Homes. From the coastal charm of NatureWalk at Watersound Origins to the beachside convenience of Salt Grass at Ward Creek, these model homes demonstrate how buyers can personalize their living spaces while enjoying some of the most desirable communities in Northwest Florida.”
