Metropolitan Group

Our story

For more than two decades, Metropolitan has developed, designed and managed boutique residential buildings across Philadelphia.

Live with character.

Character isn’t only something old buildings have. It’s what happens when someone builds a place with care and sticks around to look after it.

We build to keep.

Most apartment buildings are made to be sold. Ours are made to be lived in, and to stay with us for decades. That changes the choices we make: better windows over cheaper ones, layouts that work for real life, materials that age well instead of just photographing well. For twenty years, we’ve built and restored homes across Philadelphia that we’re proud to own, and we still own them.

Old and new, held to one standard.

Half of our homes are in buildings with a history, such as a converted church or a former factory, where we’ve kept the brick, the beams, and the bones that make them one of a kind. The other half we’ve built from the ground up, designed with the same attention to light, proportion, and finish. Different buildings, same intention: a home that feels like it was made for someone, not for the market.

The people who built it are the people who take care of it.

There’s no outside management company standing between you and the owners. When something needs attention, it’s handled by a local team that knows the building and has every reason to keep it at its best. Our residents tend to stay a long time, and we think that says more than anything we could write here.
