Metropolitan Holdings

Metropolitan Holdings is a full-service real estate firm based in Columbus, Ohio, specializing in the development, construction, and long-term management of multifamily residential communities across Ohio. Founded in 1998 by Matt Vekasy — who started with a modest two-family project in Columbus — the company has grown into a sizable regional developer, builder, and operator with a broad portfolio of apartment communities across multiple Ohio markets.

Metropolitan’s core mission emphasizes building high-quality apartment and mixed-use properties while fostering community growth and providing stable, well-managed housing for residents. Their business model integrates all phases of real-estate: from underwriting and acquisition, through construction and development, to property management and asset operations — allowing full control over project execution, quality, and long-term value creation.

Over the years, the firm has amassed a substantial track record: as of 2025, Metropolitan reports having developed over US$ 700 million in multifamily assets since its founding, and currently manages 2,000+ apartment units across several Ohio markets (Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, Akron, Cleveland, Toledo).

Their leadership emphasizes core values — integrity, accountability, humility, effort, creativity — as guiding principles in all dealings and operations.
