All New in 2026

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 homeowner—Jason Eichenholz, Ph.D., co-founder and former CTO of Luminar Technologies, and founder of Jonathan’s Landing. Inspired by his son, Jonathan, a young adult with autism, Jason is matching all contributions from manufacturers and suppliers dollar-for-dollar to support Jonathan’s Landing, the community he created to help adults on the autism spectrum.

New Era for The New American Home

Alair Homes Orlando, led by Daniel Kennerly and Jim Krantz, is overseeing the construction of this groundbreaking home in Winter Park, FL. This will be the last New American Home to be built in Orlando, as future homes will be exclusively constructed in Las Vegas in conjunction with NAHB’s International Builders’ Show.

The 7,414 sq. ft. livable home (15,176 sq. ft. under roof) will feature:

A basement with meeting space, wine cellar and entertainment areas, including a game room and theater
An automated parking system and car storage lift, enabling a 17-car underground garage
A private entrance to discreetly accommodate catering vans and staff during fundraising events
An infinity-edge pool overlooking the lake with boating access
Six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with an expansive second-floor master balcony spa
Cast-In-Place concrete basement walls, light gauge metal framing for the 1st & 2nd floors and smart, sustainable solutions designed to exceed energy efficiency standards

Designed by Michael Wenrich Architects, Interior Design by Steele Street Studios, and sustainability consultation from Two Trails, the home aims for top green certifications including NGBS Emerald, ENERGY STAR, Indoor airPLUS, DOE Zero Energy Ready Home and a HERS Index exceeding NEGATIVE 30!

""Being the first national builder for The New American Home is an incredible honor. This project isn’t just about home building—it’s about making a real, meaningful impact for the community; it’s about the alignment of my personal and corporate values. It’s what makes this home truly special.""

Daniel Kennerly, Partner at Alair Homes Orlando

""As a father of a son with autism, this project means everything. My son, Luke, and Jonathan are friends, and knowing that Jonathan’s Landing provides a place for adults like them to thrive with dignity brings me hope. This home will support that mission—it’s a legacy.""

Jim Krantz, Partner at Alair Homes Orlando

""Alair Homes is about more than just building homes—we build relationships, communities, and legacies. With over 107 locations and growing, being the first national builder for The New American Home is a milestone that reflects the purpose we continue to champion across North America.""
