IBS 2010 Opening Day

Las Vegas – IBS Show – Professional Builder Show Village – Opening Day

Final touches were added everywhere on Tuesday in preparation for opening the gates.  Traffic through the homes and at the show in general seems to be up from last year and, fortunately, the rain is holding off!

The La Linda is the perfect combination of Traditional meets Contemporary.  The clean design elements and finish out emphasizes the openness of the floor plan and the great use of space throughout this beautiful home.

The Highlander is designed to be flexible enough to work for many different needs and applications. For the show, our Highlander model has been finished out to meet the need for a vacation home on the lake or in the mountains.  From the flooring to the slate to the mirrors, no detail was overlooked in conveying that luxury get-away feel throughout this charming cape.

Here are our first pictures as the Design Team puts the final polish on for the guests.  Check back soon for more photos and show details as they happen.

Counting Down to IBS 2009

The NAHB’s 2009 International Builders’ Show is right around the corner (January 20-23). Yesterday, January 15, we kicked off the 5 set days for our three show homes and a school house (click to see details with floor plans and artist’s renderings). This is a mamoth project – 4 homes in 5 days! Here is an up-to-date slideshow of what’s going on at the Show Village right now:

Islamorada, Florida – Workforce Town Homes

Florida Keys, Islamorada, Florida
The Middle Keys Land Trust and Bayview Builders – Jim Saunders

The Middle Keys Community Land Trust and Bayview Homes proudly introduce Woods Corner, Islamorada’s newest affordable/workforce housing community. The property consists of 16 two-story system-built homes, each with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths.The homes have been reserved for purchase by the low and moderate income workforce of the Upper Keys. Homes are available for ownership and priced at $130,500 and $190,000.

The property was developed by the Middle Keys CLT, a local non-profit organization dedicated to the creation and preservation of affordable/workforce housing, and was constructed by Bayview Homes, a local builder with extensive local experience. Palm Harbor Homes was chosen as the system built manufacturer. Bayview’s comprehensive construction services handled all aspects of permitting and construction. Rick Casey, Administrator of the Middle Keys CLT reports, “I continue to be impressed with the knowledge, experience and professionalism which the Bayview Homes team has regularly demonstrated throughout the project.”

The Middle Keys CLT acquired the land, construction financing and is now currently marketing the homes to those working in our community. The project has been possible due to several community partners, including the Village of Islamorada, the Florida Housing Finance Corporation and the Monroe County SHIP Program. Jim Saunders, President of Bayview Homes comments, “This was truly a community based project. The Middle Keys Community Land Trust was impressive and perseverant as the lead on this project. Local sub-contractors were used when possible. The Village building and planning staff, and the Village Council of Islamorada were instrumental to the success of the project.”
