Showcase Building & Design, Inc.

Sometimes if you do what comes natural, you'll do what you do best. That is the case for Christopher Smith. His building apprenticeship began as a teenager working in the family usiness, Best Improvements, one of the most respected masonry contractors in  Greater Cincinnati. Even then, Chris began to dream of having his own business.  In 1991, Chris made the move to found Christopher Homes Commercial Enterprises, Inc. (CHCI) His first project was a subdivision in Beavercreek, a Dayton suburb. His upscale homes were  luickly purchased and Chris then set his sights on his native Cincinnati. His Cincinnati residential work is widespread, from the northern suburbs of Forest Park, Mt. Healthy andSymmes Township to being a key player in  the renaissance of Avondale by building the showcase homes of Bishop Herbert Thompson and Rev. Damon Lynch, Jr. Additionally, CHCI has expanded into nonresidential aralias that include churches such as New Jerusalem Baptist, New Life Baptist and the Church of Deliverance.

Building on the foundation laid by his father, Chris maintains the family business unit using Best Improvements for the masonry work on his projects while his mother Marie and sister aria handle the  administrative duties.  Chris has been approached by the City of Cincinnati to participate in Citirama and expanded his operations to include part ownership of a  aycare center, The Noah's Ark Child Care Development Center. Success Guide.
