On June 24, 2021, at the Soleil Soiree, the golden shovels struck the ground marking the space where The Heritage – A VIE Legacy Showhome would eventually stand tall. Over the following year and a half, the development team conducted numerous meetings discussing tile choice, fabrics, and construction to bring the vision to fruition. In addition, everyone detailed the ins and outs of the elaborate process in The Making of a Show Home documentary, filmed by Chandler Williams and his team from Modus Photography. Finally, in September 2022, construction was complete, and it was time to celebrate! The Heritage Grand Reveal brought out beloved community members for a night of celebration featuring a solo fine art photography exhibition by Julian Lennon and catering by Chefs E.J. and Emeril Lagasse. It was a night to remember!
