Handcrafted Homes
Since 1955
Van Metre Companies anxious to deepen, extend D.C.-area roots
It’s good to have a good reputation, but it’s even better
to improve on one.
The primary aim of the Van Metre Companies is to
build – both figuratively and literally – onto the success
that has been achieved since the business started in
1955, and as it subsequently evolved into a provider
of top-quality homes, investment properties and ser-
vices to customers and clients.
A top-down mandate for professionalism and integri-
ty in all activities across the company’s Washington,
D.C.-area home was championed by founder Albert
Van Metre Sr., and it remains a driving force going for-
ward whether relating to real estate development and
construction, management of apartment, retail and
office investment properties or provision of mortgage
and related services.
These days, carrying the reputational load falls to a
new generation of corporate leaders, which includes
Brian Davidson, who joined the organization as an en-
try-level accountant out of nearby George Mason Uni-
versity in 1989 and has since risen to executive vice
president of the construction division.
