           Miami Township, Ohio (March 13, 2026) -
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            Metropolitan Holdings has received zoning approval from Miami Township to move forward with Conrad Apartments, a new upscale multifamily community of 315 units located at 1005 Business 28. The development will transform the former Trester Auto Parts &amp;amp; Salvage Yard site into a high-quality residential community, supporting reinvestment along the Business 28 corridor. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The four-story corridor building will feature a resort-inspired amenity package, including a swimming pool with sun deck, fitness center, movie theater, business center, pickleball court, golf simulator, game lawn, pet washing station, and a one-acre dog park. Surface and garage parking and thoughtfully integrated landscaping are planned to create a safe, walkable, and community-oriented environment. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The site offers excellent regional access along OH-28, just one mile from Interstate-275 and 30 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Residents will be minutes from Kenwood Towne Centre and within 20 miles of eight Fortune 500 headquarters, as well as major employers including TQL, Mercy Health, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. 
          &#xD;

           Conrad supports Miami Township’s goal of providing diverse, market-rate housing options in a well-connected location for both current and future residents. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “Miami Township has expressed a need for high-quality rental housing to stay competitive, retain residents, and attract new households,” said Matthew R. Vekasy, Founder &amp;amp; CEO of Metropolitan Holdings. “Conrad is designed to meet that need with modern amenities and living options for career professionals, middle-income households, and established earners.” 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Metropolitan Holdings recently achieved success with a similar product at Skytop Apartments in Anderson Township, Ohio, which has seen strong resident demand since opening. “Skytop validated the need for high-quality rental housing in well-connected suburban markets,” said Vekasy. “Miami Township is a natural next step to expand our footprint in the Greater Cincinnati region and we look forward to delivering that same level of quality with Conrad.”

           (December 2, 2025)

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            – Chef Butcher’s Creole Kitchen has officially opened in King-Lincoln Bronzeville, next to the Lincoln Theatre at Metropolitan Holdings’ Ogden Apartments, 795 East Long Street. The restaurant brings its signature New Orleans-inspired cuisine to the neighborhood and celebrates its new space in one of Columbus’ most culturally rich districts.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Family-owned and operated, Chef Henry Butcher opened Creole Kitchen on Mount Vernon Avenue with his children, Tonya Butcher, Antoinette Parks, and Henry Butcher Jr., in 2006. The restaurant has been cherished by the local community for 18 years, serving authentic Deep South dishes like jambalaya, etouffee, po’boys, and beignets.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Chef Butcher was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he gained his passion for cooking from his grandmother, who taught him to make roux, peel shrimp, and descale fish at a young age. Before opening Creole Kitchen, Butcher served Columbus restaurant-goers for more than 40 years as a chef for Central Ohio establishments, including Tony’s Ristorante in the Brewery District and the now-defunct Ollie’s Grandview Inn.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “It’s an honor to welcome Chef Butcher and his family to our development,” said Matthew Vekasy, founder and CEO of Metropolitan Holdings. “The restaurant brings incredible flavor and new energy to Ogden and adds to the vibrancy of the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood.”

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Metropolitan Holdings completed construction on Ogden Apartments in 2024. The community includes 72 apartment homes in addition to Creole Kitchen’s 2,618 square feet of space.

           Shaker Heights, Ohio (April 1, 2025) - Columbus-based real estate developer Metropolitan Holdings has started site work on Arcadia, the 250,000-square-foot mixed-use building that will house 141 apartments and more than 15,000 square feet of commercial/retail and office space at the long-vacant southeast corner of Warrensville Center and Farnsleigh roads.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           RDL Architects, which recently outgrew its Shaker Heights office spaces, designed the complex and will move back to Shaker as its primary office occupant.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We are very excited to have Metropolitan Holdings moving forward with this transformative expansion of the Van Aken District,” said Shaker Heights Mayor David E. Weiss. “Arcadia will add vibrancy and density to an already popular neighborhood, increasing the new housing options available. Residents of Arcadia will have easy access to RTA rail and bus routes, shopping, dining, banking, and recreation. In addition, this project will help grow our tax base and enable the City to retain RDL architects, a long-time Shaker business.”

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Matthew Vekasy, founder &amp;amp; CEO of Metropolitan Holdings, said “After many months of planning, we are delighted to be starting work on Arcadia. The City of Shaker Heights has been a tremendous partner in bringing this project to fruition and ensuring that Arcadia will serve as a catalyst for continued transformation in the Van Aken District. We look forward to seeing our plans take shape as we blend urban and suburban design to create the next choice for Shaker living.”

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The project property was the site of the former Qua Buick-Pontiac until its closing in 2005. In 2015 the City partnered with the Cuyahoga County Land Bank to clear the site in preparation for redevelopment.

           Columbus, Ohio (October 13, 2023)
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            - A new multi-story mural is being painted in the heart of Olde Towne East. Located at the new Metropolitan Holdings development, Triumph Apartments, local artist Carlos Roa began work on the piece in early October.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Once complete, Roa says the mural will depict “an indigenous African goddess keeping a motherly and protective watch over the community.” The painting is inspired by the vibrant African American art and jazz community of Columbus in the 1930s and ‘40s and Roa’s own cultural roots.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Roa was born in Bogota, Columbia and raised in the United States after being adopted at the age of six. His artistic philosophy is to pay homage to the spirit of the native people of all nations and to unify audiences through his uniquely intriguing style, mixing the past with futuristic elements.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “I hope the mural inspires people to think about who we are, where we came from, and the generations of ancestors that paved the way before us,” says Roa.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Roa has lived in Columbus for over 35 years and is the owner of Fifth Element Tattoo Gallery on Parsons Avenue. More of his mural work can be seen at Barrio locations on Fifth Avenue and Lane Avenue, as well as a mural celebrating Merion Village at Parsons Avenue and East Stewart Avenue. “The Columbus art community is so open and welcoming to new artists and voices,” he says, reflecting on what he loves most about the city. “It’s great to see the community taking care of its artists in a way we haven’t seen before.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Metropolitan Holdings selected Roa to create the mural after issuing a request for proposals in 2022. “It was important to us that we continued the strong tradition of public art in the neighborhood,” says Matthew Vekasy, founder and CEO of Metropolitan Holdings. “Roa’s work was selected for uniquely celebrating and honoring the rich cultural history of the Near East Columbus community.”

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Columbus, Ohio (May 17, 2023) – Creole Kitchen is bringing the New Orleans experience to Main Street Bronzeville. The restaurant, currently located on Mount Vernon Avenue, has signed a lease with Metropolitan Holdings to relocate to Metropolitan’s mixed use development, Ogden Apartments, at 795 East Long Street in the heart of the King-Lincoln Bronzeville neighborhood.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Family owned and operated, Chef Henry Butcher opened Creole Kitchen with his children, Tonya Butcher, Antoinette Parks, and Henry Butcher Junior, in 2006. The restaurant has been cherished by the local community for 17 years, serving authentic Deep South dishes like jambalaya, etouffee, po’boys, and beignets.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Chef Butcher was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he gained his passion for cooking from his grandmother who taught him to make roux, peel shrimp, and descale fish at a young age. Before opening Creole Kitchen, Butcher served Columbus restaurant-goers for over 40 years as a chef for Central Ohio establishments including Tony’s Ristorante in the Brewery District and the now-defunct Ollie’s Grandview Inn.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We are thrilled to be partnering with Chef Butcher and his family,” said Matthew Vekasy, founder and CEO of Metropolitan Holdings. “The restaurant will be a fantastic addition to Ogden, both for our future tenants and for the King-Lincoln Bronzeville community as a whole.”

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Metropolitan Holdings began construction on Ogden Apartments in late 2022 and is scheduled to complete construction in the first quarter of 2024. The development will include 72 apartment homes, in addition to Creole Kitchen’s 2,618 square feet of space.

           Arch City Development has selected Metropolitan Holdings as the new property manager for The Frisbie Apartments.

      <title>Metropolitan Holdings Teams Up With The Dayton Job Corps Center</title>
      <link>https://www.metropolitanholdings.com/metropolitan-holdings-teams-up-with-the-dayton-job-corps-center</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Metropolitan Holdings is excited for the future of our partnership with the Dayton Job Corps Center!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Metropolitan Holdings is excited for the future of our partnership with the Dayton Job Corps Center!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Earlier this month, Julie Yesnick, our Vice President of Property Management, and our property management team from Parkview were able to tour the training facility and meet with the students and the instructors.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Due to COVID restrictions and other government regulations, it took nearly 6 months to get approval for a face-to-face meeting from the Department of Labor. Our team was able to walk through the cement and masonry area, the carpentry area, and the facilities maintenance area.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Our intent for this partnership is to allow students who are towards the end of their program to experience hands-on learning at Parkview under our service team's leadership and guidance. Then, upon graduation, hire these students to join our Service Department.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The students are paid through their work-based learning program and are “volunteering” for us on our site. Our contribution to the center will be through donation of older appliances, electrical/plumbing/drywall materials, tools, and serving as adjunct instructors from time to time.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We look forward to watching this partnership take shape over the months and years to come!
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
