From early on, Chris Kanter knew he wanted to be a builder. As early as high school, he took jobs in the construction business and continued during his summers home from Virginia Military Institute. After college, he found jobs in varying fields related to construction real estate, construction sales, home renovation and buying and selling older homes. In 1996, Chris took the plunge and opened his own construction business, North Shore Construction Company.

His is a small company, just Chris and his wife, and they walk their clients through each phase of the construction process to make it a smooth and enjoyable one. They focus on building only a few homes each year to maintain personal supervision of the construction, close interaction with the client and ensure quality craftsmanship.

Chris and his family live in Norfolk. He was born and raised there and he's delighted at the opportunity to be a part of the East Beach vision. He jumped at the chance to sign on to the East Beach Guild since he's always loved to blend the old with the new.
