Becoming the
builder of choice.
Chris and Preston Schell are talented twin brothers with strong roots in Sussex County, Delaware.
If you mention their names at local restaurants, chances are you’ll be talking to one of their good friends. In fact, you might just run into Chris or Preston enjoying a quick meal at Big Fish Grill in Rehoboth Beach or a cold drink on the patio at Striper Bites in Lewes.
As graduates of Harvard Business School, they’ve combined their business talent with a passion for creating beautiful communities to establish one of the most successful and popular builders in Delaware. Prior to attending Harvard Business School, Chris earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, graduating at the top of his class. He launched a successful career as a hedge fund manager before deciding to pursue his lifelong dream of building homes – in a beautiful beach environment – and Schell Brothers was born.
Chris is well-known in the area as an expert on the housing market, and often makes himself available to answer customer questions and provide housing statistics for local Realtors. Preston’s reputation as a respected and responsible land developer, combined with the energy and expertise Chris brings to architectural design and homebuilding, have resulted in a truly unique company. Schell Brothers is committed to providing homes with energy efficiency, craftsmanship and curb appeal in communities that have lasting beauty and value.
In addition to building attractive communities, Chris and Preston have set the standard for responsible land use and historical preservation.
