The Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago (
HBAGC) has chosen Settlers Ridge in Sugar Grove, IL as the site of its annual high-profile showcase, the 2006 Parade of Homes. The 2006 Parade of Homes, featuring the designs of eight custom builders, will be presented beginning October 11, 2006, and continue through October 29, 2006 at Settlers Ridge, located at the corner of Galena Blvd. and Gordon Road in Sugar Grove, IL.

Settlers Ridge is the acclaimed 1,300-acre Kane County lifestyle community of 2,470 new residences currently under development by Kimball Hill Homes. Designed with award-winning conservation land planner Randall Arendt, eco-friendly Settlers Ridge incorporates existing historic buildings and natural land features in an area first settled by Europeans in the 1670s. Settlers Ridge has been hailed as a visionary, progressive community which, at the same time, elicits much of the spirit and neighborliness identified with turn-of-the-century villages.

“The designs to be showcased at the 2006 Parade of Homes combine top-quality craftsmanship with state-of-the-art amenities in the picturesque locale of Settlers Ridge,” says Peter Schwartz, CEO of the HBAGC. “The Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago is privileged to have our industry association represented by these eight builders at this Kimball Hill Homes community, and home buyers are sure to see lots of great new design ideas at the fall event.”
