Bio
Christopher Stern became a Partner of Edgemere Development in June of 2020. He currently serves as Edgemere’s President. He brings a vast knowledge of construction management and construction budgeting to the Edgemere team. Chris co-founded Hamilton Stern Construction in 2010 with his business partner and long-time friend, Justin Hamilton. In addition to his construction and supervision responsibilities, Chris manages company-wide financial decisions for Hamilton Stern’s long-term growth and stability.
Working closely with clients and development team members on affordable housing projects fostered Chris’ interest in project development and becoming involved in more than just construction management. Chris and his Partner Justin Hamilton are honored to now be a part of the Edgemere team. Chris is integrating himself in all aspects of affordable housing development. His experience in construction budgeting lends a hand to project underwriting and he has worked closely with team members to provide insight into preliminary project underwriting.
Prior to starting Hamilton Stern construction, Chris worked construction for years in larger firms who specialized in affordable housing projects. Hamilton Sterns first affordable housing project was the M+M Rochester project with the Urban League of Rochester Economic Development Corporation, with Edgemere as consulting developer. Chris has been involved in the renovation of Blossom Village Apartments (24 units of affordable housing in Rochester, NY); FLACRA Scattered Site Renovations in Waterloo, Geneva, Penn Yan and Newark, New York. To date, Hamilton Stern Construction has been involved in more than 17 affordable housing projects.
Chris graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003 with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering Technology, and later returned to earn his Executive MBA in 2009. Chris is an active member of the local Rochester, New York community and participates as a Member of the Board of Trustees for the Seneca Park Zoo Society.
