Palm Harbor proudly showcased a strong commitment to energy efficiency, top-notch construction and innovative design at this year’s International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando. For three days (January 11-14, 2006), the event welcomed over 105,000 builders, developers and other construction industry professionals to the Orange County Convention Center. The International Builders’ Show is the largest annual light construction show in the world, showcasing more than 1.5 million square feet of the latest and most advanced building products and services.
Palm Harbor displayed four homes at the show, including three homes featured in the Professional Builder® Show Village. The Show Village provides an opportunity for visitors to see, interact with and learn about top-of-the-line products installed in real homes. As a major part of this exhibition, Palm Harbor presented its advanced, money-saving building processes to a wide range of construction industry professionals. Reed Business Information and a number of leading high-end material suppliers sponsored the unique display and integrated their best building materials throughout the homes.
Palm Harbor included two ENERGY STAR® and Florida Green Certified homes from the Discovery Custom Homes line in the Show Village: “The Wilmington” and “The Bellaire.”
“The Wilmington” is a charming 1,682-square-foot home featuring a full front porch, three bedrooms, two baths, an island kitchen and many other custom amenities targeting first time homebuyers and empty nesters.
“The Bellaire” is a home particularly well suited for building on narrow lots without sacrificing luxury. This beautiful 3,180-square-foot two-story home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two half-baths. Luxurious custom appointments fill the home, including an open central kitchen, a lofty 18-foot living room ceiling and an amazing home theater room. (more…)
