EDWARD ST. JOHN HONORED FOR A LIFETIME OF PHILANTHROPHY AND COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
(Fulton, Maryland) – On September 12, 2023, the Home Builders Care Foundation (HBCF) proudly presented the Robert L. Mitchell Founders Award to Mr. Edward St. John, the Founder and Chairman of St. John Properties, in recognition for his lifetime of leadership and commitment to community and charitable service. The Founders Award is the charity’s highest honor. The award was presented at HBCF’s 11th annual Bull & Oyster Roast, the charity’s signature fundraising event. A total of 87 sponsors signed on to not only honor Mr. St. John, but also support the charitable construction efforts of Home Builders Care. As the official charity of the Maryland Building Industry Association (MBIA), HBCF works to give back to the community by utilizing the skills and resources of building industry members to serve the homeless and others in need of shelter and care. As one of our industry’s most prominent leaders, Ed Mr. St. John understands the value of HBCF’s mission of giving back to community. Mr. St. John founded his company in 1971 and has been a leader in the building industry ever since. Over the years the company has developed, constructed and owned more than 23 million sq. ft. of commercial space, including 100 LEED certified buildings. The company also is invested in over 3,000 residential units and three large mixed-use projects, including the award-winning Maple Lawn community of Howard County. In 1998, St. John established the Edward St. John Foundation with a mission to provide financial assistance to formal education programs. Since its establishment, more than $65 million has been contributed to over 750 not-for-profit organizations in communities where the company has a business presence, especially in Maryland, home to the headquarters of St. John Properties. His generosity has inspired others to give. Long recognized for his outstanding accomplishments, Mr. St. John has received numerous awards and honors and has served on numerous boards including the University of Maryland Medical Center, the B&O Railroad Museum, the Johns Hopkins Edward St. John Real Estate Program, the Maryland Academy of Sciences at the Maryland Science Center and the Baltimore Economic Development Commission.
