Esprit Constructions last night won the Townsville and Central Queensland HIA award for Best Display Home ($300,001 - $450,000). The Panama 275, on display in Richmond Hills, is packed full of innovative features that have proved a hit with visitors and bring extraordinary value for money for anyone wanting to build a hew home in Mackay. The four-bedroom home combines some of the most popular features from earlier designs with new innovations that will become must-haves for a new generation of Mackay home builders.
Award winning Mackay home - the Panama 275 from Esprit Construcitons.
Mackay builders prize this award category because of its relevance to the majority of people wanting to build a home in Mackay. It is a good sized quality home that provides the “wow” factor without breaking the bank. The Panama 275 from Esprit Constructions was the first display to open in the new display village at Richmond Hills and has been a hit ever since. Visitors are falling in love with it because they can see themselves living it. The immediate feedback was “we want to build and we want exactly this”.

Esprit Director, Adam Pearce, said the most common question people ask is if the display home is for sale because they want exactly what they see in front of them. It’s an incredibly well-designed home and it has been presented to perfection. One of the most popular features is the two-way pantry that runs the full width of the kitchen and is accessible from both the kitchen and the garage. Another simple but very popular feature is the laundry “chute” connecting the bathroom with the laundry. There’s several more innovations that people in Mackay would not have seen in a home before, including a special surprise in the main bedroom!

Builders in Mackay compete in the HIA-CSR Townsville & Central Queensland Housing Awards, which gives them a chance to showcase the wider region’s best homes and renovations. Peter Fry, HIA Executive Director, North Queensland, said it was an important opportunity to highlight contemporary designs, construction, innovation and housing technology. “With design and décor changing all the time, our Housing Awards offer a way for home buyers to see the latest in housing design trends and recognise builders striving for excellence and the highest standards of quality that HIA members are renowned for.”
