The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) unveiled exciting new details of its official show home of the NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS): The New American Home 2026 (TNAH). The home, produced in collaboration with the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council and Professional Builder magazine, will not only serve as a cutting-edge exhibition of the industry’s latest innovations, but will also have a special tie to local community services. The 2026 edition, located in Winter Park, FL, will be the 43rd home in the program’s history and will be built by Alair Homes.
The New American Home (TNAH) 2026 marks a pivotal moment for Alair Homes as the first national builder in this prestigious program. Celebrated for showcasing cutting-edge innovations in design and sustainability, this year’s home sets a new standard while supporting meaningful community causes.
For the first time, TNAH is being built for a specific mission and home owner—Jason Eichenholz, Ph.D., a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and the founder of Jonathan’s Landing and CEO and founder of Relativity Networks. He previously co-founded and served as the CTO of Luminar Technologies. Inspired by his son, Jonathan, a young adult with autism, Jason is matching the cost of all contributions from manufacturers and suppliers dollar-for-dollar to support Jonathan’s Landing Foundation, a comprehensive intentional community creating housing for 500 people and 5,000 jobs to help adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to live with purpose and have access to meaningful work while achieving their maximum level of independence.
“This home isn’t just a showcase of the future of home building—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when passion, philanthropy and innovation come together,” said Eichenholz. “After its debut, it will also serve as a platform for other meaningful charities, extending its impact far beyond a single home.”
“Home building professionals can expect to see one of the most innovative show homes ever built when The New American Home 2026 is unveiled,” said NAHB Chairman Buddy Hughes, a home builder and developer from Lexington, N.C. “Each year, The New American Home program raises the bar for our industry when it comes to achieving the highest levels of performance, design and efficiency. I am confident the 2026 home will be yet another impressive showcase of the very latest in residential construction techniques and product innovations.”
