The Metro Difference
What Sets Us Apart?
Metro Development Group is the result of experienced developers, real estate professionals, financial experts and community specialists coming together to discover and develop land opportunities with a common goal and vision in mind.
This vision includes creating award-winning, modern communities that appeal to our long-standing investment partners, trusted homebuilders and most importantly, our valued homeowners simply by being the very best at what we do.
As we define what it means to be a true 21st century developer, we are committed to bringing some of the most innovative technologies and world-class amenities to our growing portfolio of communities. With the introduction of Metro Places, the Connected City, ULTRAFi and Metro Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons, Metro Development Group continues to be the gold standard in the development of master planned communities.
