WE’VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT OUR CARRABELLE DISPLAY HOME WAS A SHOWSTOPPER. NOW, SO DOES THE REST OF OUR STATE!
The 2023 Master Builders Association awards have just wrapped up and we’re proud to say that our Palm Lake Resort Forster Lakes ‘Carabelle’ display home has received top honours.
The winning roll started when Carabelle received the category win (display homes in the $700,001-$800,000 price bracket) at the regional Newcastle Excellence in Building Awards on September 8.
“The Newcastle Regional Excellence in Building Awards holds a special place in our hearts as we come together to applaud the remarkable accomplishments of both companies and individuals in the construction industry,” said MBA NSW president, Robert Black.
“It is a celebration of not only bricks and mortar, but also the profound influence the built environment exerts on the very fabric of our society. The shared sense of pride we feel towards our contributions is truly deserving.”
Carabelle’s win at a regional level saw the popular design entered into the highly contested state competition. On September 16, at a gala black tie event at The Star in Sydney attended by almost 1000 industry guests, our team was called to the stage to collect the state award!
“Master Builders Association of NSW receives hundreds of exceptional, unique and quality builds through the State Excellence Awards program annually. The Association is proud to present a magnificent level of construction from its nominees across the 2023 Excellence in Housing & Pool Awards,” MBA Awards and Events Manager Amanda Kelly said. “This year, the judges inspected hundreds of projects with a combined value of just under $900 million.
“The Association would like to give special thanks to the award judges, who freely donate their time and expertise. This year they were truly impressed with the extraordinary level of skill displayed on these projects.”
At just over 277sqm, Carrabelle offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and so much living space across its two storeys. In fact, the first floor master bedroom is more of a sanctuary than a “bedroom” with its own retreat/living area, hidden kitchenette, expansive walk-through robe, study nook and ensuite.
“It was an undoubtedly an amazing evening, and with the room full of exceptional builders, it was hard not to feel impressed,” Amanda said.
