Chris Clemente founded the Comstock organization in 1985 and has guided its growth and diversification since its inception. Mr. Clemente managed the growth of Comstock as a private enterprise until the 2004 initial public offering of Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHCI), now known as Comstock Holding Companies®, Inc. (“Comstock” or “Company”). Since the IPO, Mr. Clemente has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Comstock and is the largest individual stockholder of the Company. Mr. Clemente chairs Comstock’s Executive Committee, which charts strategic direction, evaluates acquisition opportunities, and oversees strategic partnerships, including multiple public-private partnerships. Mr. Clemente is also Managing Member of Comstock Partners, LC (“Partners”), a family-owned, private company founded by Mr. Clemente in 1999 to focus on commercial real estate development and investment.

Following its IPO, Comstock expanded its for-sale homebuilding operation into multiple key markets in the southeastern United States, while the commercial development operation of Partners remained focused on the Washington, DC market. Following the Great Recession, Comstock scaled back its for-sale homebuilding operation to focus solely on the Washington, DC market. Mr. Clemente managed the two companies as separate firms with distinct management teams and investment objectives until early 2018, when Comstock announced its plan to wind-down its for-sale homebuilding operation and refocus on commercial development, real estate asset management, and real estate related services. To execute this strategic plan, the operating platforms of Comstock and Partners were combined, and changes were made to the management team. To anchor the transition, Partners entered a long-term, cost-plus asset management agreement covering its portfolio of commercial properties, which had grown to include millions of square feet of stabilized buildings and development assets strategically located at key transit stations on Metro’s new Silver Line in the Dulles Corridor of Northern Virginia that have an estimated value at full build out of approximately $3 billion.

Key assets included in the portfolio of managed assets, include; Reston Station, a 4.5 million square foot transit-oriented and mixed-use development covering nearly 40 acres surrounding the terminus station of Phase I of the Silver Line in Reston, Virginia, and Loudoun Station, a 2+ million square foot transit-oriented and mixed-use development located adjacent to the terminus station of Phase II of the Silver Line in Ashburn, Virginia.

Mr. Clemente attended the University of Wisconsin and George Mason University where he studied Business and Psychology. Mr. Clemente and his wife, Tracy Schar, have been long-time supporters of numerous charitable organizations in the Washington, DC region that support international adoptions, foster care programs, and that provide educational, housing and other assistance to families and children in-need.

Charles “Chuck” Kuhn is a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist who has built several companies

that have been recognized for excellence by multiple organizations, including the U.S. Chamber of

Commerce, the Better Business Bureau, Ernst & Young, SmartCEO, HRO Today, and the American

Trucking Association. He and his companies have also received numerous accolades for civic

leadership, including the Loudoun Laurels award, Washington Business Journal’s Corporate Citizen of

the Year, Loudoun Chamber’s Executive and Company of the Year, and Old Dominion Land

Conservancy’s preservation award.

For Kuhn, it began with JK Moving Services, which he founded 40 years ago. Even back then, at the

young age of 16, Kuhn saw that the moving industry needed change. With few regulations or industry

standards, the burgeoning entrepreneur set out to create a company that was committed to providing

superior customer service. As CEO, his vision for JK has included an ongoing investment in

technology, facilities, and talent. Having remained true to that vision, JK is now the largest independent

moving company in North America serving residential and commercial customers with a focus on care

and respect. This care extends to the environment as JK Moving embraces new technologies that

further its aggressive carbon emissions-reduction goals and focuses on box-less moves and major

recycling efforts, keeping more than five million pounds of materials out of area landfills. It also

purchased 10 Tesla moving trucks.

In addition to JK Moving, Kuhn identified a need for full mobility solutions for clients, and in 1997,

launched CapRelo, a relocation management company, for which he serves as chairman. Kuhn’s drive

to make relocation a low-stress and easy process was pivotal in building CapRelo into one of the

premier global mobility management companies today.

Kuhn also founded and leads JKLH to manage strategic land investments. Through JKLH he has

forged a relationship with developer Yondr and together are building data centers in Northern Virginia.

As he buys land, Kuhn’s passion and focus is also on conserving land and the environment for future

generations and has protected more than 22,000 acres of land from development to date—equal to half

the land in Washington, DC.

Among the properties he has placed into conservation easement include several thousand acres near

Loudoun’s historic villages; land along the Potomac that was donated to NoVA Parks; an 87-acre parcel

in Loudoun that has an array of native plants and wildlife; and 42 acres in Saint Louis, Virginia, one of

Loudoun county’s first African American townships. In addition, he conserved 150 acres to launch the

JK Community Farm in 2018, which grows more than 245,000 pounds of chemical-free produce and

protein annually and donates 100% of its yield to local food banks. Today the farm is the nation’s

largest nonprofit community farm.

JK Moving Services, CapRelo, JKLH, and his other enterprises are extraordinarily successful with Kuhn

at the helm. His leadership has shaped his companies, their industries, and the region. Beyond work

and philanthropy, he is a proud father and grandfather, a professional pilot and avid outdoorsman.
