ICI Homes Wins 4 Awards at the 2021 Northeast Florida Parade of Homes
The NEFBA Parade of Homes, better known as “Parade of Homes Jax” was held April 24th – May 9th. This event gives homebuyers, Realtors, and the general public the opportunity to tour a variety of homes from the best builders in Northeast Florida. The event has been held annually for more than 64 years, and is a tradition that ICI Homes is proud to participate in year after year. After last year’s awards banquet going virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our team was thrilled to be able to attend the awards banquet in person this year.
ICI Homes was the proud recipient of four awards in the 2021 Northeast Florida Parade of Homes, including the prestigious Best of Show award, which was determined based on the highest overall judging score.
ICI Homes entries were available to tour in Tidewater, located in Jacksonville, Amelia National, located in Fernandina Beach, eTown, located in Jacksonville, and Tamaya, also located in Jacksonville.
