Steadfast Companies announced today the promotion of Christopher M. Hilbert to President of Steadfast Companies.
In the role of President, Hilbert will oversee a group of fully integrated real estate management, investment and development companies that own and operate over $3.5 billion in assets across 27 states in the U.S., including more than 28,000 multifamily units.
“We are proud and excited to move forward with Christopher as President of Steadfast. His extensive background in real estate, combined with his successful decade-long tenure at Steadfast, makes him uniquely qualified for the position,” said Rodney F. Emery, Chairman and CEO of Steadfast Companies.
After joining Steadfast in 2005, Hilbert successfully led his team in the acquisition and development of over 24,000 multifamily units, including multiple portfolio acquisitions. Hilbert has been essential to Steadfast in his role as Chief Investment Officer and President of Steadfast Real Estate Group, overseeing all property related functions including acquisitions, dispositions, project management and property management. Hilbert’s teams also have been responsible for creating and implementing the acquisition strategies for each Steadfast-sponsored REIT.
“I’m blessed to be leading such a phenomenal group of men and women focused on delivering positive results for our investors, tenants and residents,” comments Hilbert.  “Without the hard work and dedication of Steadfast associates, I would not be here today.”
