Creating Dreams
Cont���d from page 28
���The Manitoba Home Builders��� Association does an excellent job of promoting the Parade through all kinds of
media. It���s a very valuable asset for us.���
In its lineup this Spring, Artista is focusing on using bricks and glass for its interiors and will be featuring its unique
style in a number of different ways, including a Winnipeg Jets-themed home
theatre. In today���s homes, new technology is key, Mr. Controneo says.
���People are spending more time in
their homes, so home automation is
a big deal. We���re making homes more
and more interactive. We have iPads
built into the wall of the homes from
where you can control almost everything.���
The MHBA is expecting 40,000 people to attend the 2013 Spring Parade
March 2 to 24.
���The crowds remain strong, but the
quality of the individual interactions
has increased,��� Mr. Moore says. ���Today���s
consumers have done their homework.
They���re asking some detailed questions.
���If people are interested in a home or
aspect of d��cor, they���ve done their
research beforehand. It���s refreshing to
see.���
Manitoba has one of the lar est Parade
of Homes in the country, Mr. Moore
adds. The event allows builders to
showcase their products to thousands
more people than it would be possible
to reach on their own.
