Leadership & Vision
Claudio Garcia Chamarro is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Steel Crest LLC, a full-service real estate development and investment firm headquartered in Queens, New York. With more than two decades in the industry, Claudio leads the company's strategic direction across real estate acquisitions, development financing, and construction.
Under his leadership, Steel Crest LLC has grown from a construction contracting firm into a comprehensive real estate investment and development platform — sourcing capital, structuring financing, and delivering projects that create lasting value for communities and investors alike.
Steel Crest LLC offers developers and builders access to structured investment capital — enabling projects that may otherwise lack traditional financing pathways, with a particular focus on affordable housing and community development.
Real Estate
Development Focus Areas
Steel Crest LLC concentrates investment and development activity across four core verticals — each aligned with market demand and social impact objectives.
Residential Development
Ground-up residential construction and adaptive reuse projects across Queens, Brooklyn, and the greater New York metropolitan area — from single-family to multifamily.
Affordable Housing Projects
Structured development financing for affordable and workforce housing — targeting supply gaps in underserved communities to reduce housing shortages and displacement.
Commercial & Mixed-Use
Commercial development, office-to-residential conversion, and mixed-use projects that create economic density and unlock underperforming assets.
Renovation & Repositioning
Full-scale renovation and value-add repositioning of existing residential and commercial assets — maximizing returns through strategic capital deployment.
Developer Financing Access
Providing developers with structured access to private capital — bridge financing, construction loans, and equity partnerships — through Steel Crest LLC.
Community & Impact Investment
Investment structures designed to generate financial returns while reducing homelessness, expanding housing supply, and supporting local developers in underserved markets.
Reducing Homelessness
Through Housing Development
At the core of Claudio Garcia Chamarro's work — and the mission of Steel Crest LLC — is a commitment to using real estate development as a tool for social change. Housing supply is the most effective long-term solution to homelessness, and every project we finance or build contributes to that mission.
Affordable Housing Development Initiatives
Actively financing and developing affordable housing units across New York — partnering with local developers, municipalities, and community organizations to deliver homes where they are needed most.
Support for Local Developers
Many qualified developers lack access to conventional financing. Through Steel Crest LLC, we provide structured capital solutions that enable local builders to execute projects that would otherwise stall.
Financing for Underserved Communities
Directing investment capital into markets and neighborhoods that traditional lenders overlook — creating housing supply in communities where affordability and availability are most critical.
Long-Term Homelessness Reduction
The long-term goal is clear: by expanding housing supply at all price points — from market-rate to deeply affordable — we reduce the conditions that create and sustain homelessness. Every unit built is a step toward that outcome.
