Our Story
Stephen fostered homebuilding and the dream of homeownership during the 2009 Great Recession. From 2 to 26 employees, he created jobs in Arizona and Nevada. From $0 to $70 million, he raised capital, added value, and sold his ownership interest to a public homebuilder. From 0 to 45 units closed, he made proud new homeowners and brokered over $11 million in real estate transactions. During the recent Pandemic, now a veteran Arizona Developer, Stephen Adams assembled a dream team of consultants, designers, contractors, trade partners, finance partners and other real estate professionals to offer his SUPERIOR ENERGY SYSTEM! Stephen continued to create jobs and push the integration limits between technology and smart building with new product in Tempe and Scottsdale, Arizona, despite pandemic hardships. Stephen now looks forward to giving back to the community by supporting the Jessica McDonald Academy and creating a school that elevate the underserved and add enduring value to society www.JessicaMcDonaldAcademy.org.
Stephen lives in Arizona and holds a MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. He received his Bachelor of Science from Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Minor in French from the Sorbonne University, Paris, France.

Our Mission
Our mission is to add value. We pride ourselves on long-term vision and sustainability. Before money is invested in a residential project, three questions are asked. Will the investment make the world a better place? Will the investment improve the life of the eventual buyer? And will the investment minimize waste and maximize returns? If the answer to all three questions is “yes,” a sustainable, value, investment opportunity exists.
Sustainable.Value.Investments., or SVI, is as important and potent as other three letter investment terms like IRR and ROI. The SVI goes beyond returns and into true economic value. Not only must new value be created, but the value must add enduring economic benefit to society at large.
Through sustainable building solutions, Adams Craig combines modern technology with the age-old American dream of home ownership. We are committed to building homes like we plan to be on this planet for a long time to come. For us, energy efficient homes are not a goal, they are a necessity.
Green Home Builders Possess Endless Opportunity for Creating Value
As with any investment, timing is important. Green home building was less than twenty percent of the residential market a couple years ago. In just three years, that is expected to climb to forty percent. We are fast approaching an era where our forward thinking will be the norm. Properties that do not take the realities of the average home’s impact on the earth into account will be seen as less desirable, less responsible constructions when compared to homes from green home builders.
The SVI concept of Adams Craig embodies the green home building mega movement. When “the right thing to do” meets diligence, capital, and technology, the possibilities for smart community growth and development are endless.
