More than 600 entries were submitted in 51 categories in the annual competition. The awards were announced at the International Builders Show in Orlando Florida.
"This national competition is very competitive and to win an award at this level is very difficult, but gratifying," said Southport developer and builder Ronald Bonvie. The awards are among many that Southport has received including twice named as one of the "Top 100 Master Planned Communities in the United States for Active Adults" by Where to Retire Magazine.
Southport's "Hyannisport" model, which won the Silver Award for "Best Model Merchandising of a Home Between $300,000 - $500,000," was one of six new designs introduced last September and has been one of the most popular designs Bonvie said.
The 1,952 s/f design features two bedrooms, a finished lower level, large master suite and attached garage. A three and one-half season attached sunroom is a popular option that is featured at Southport's model park.
