One of the strengths of Van Metre Companies is its breadth of product. The company does not wear blinders. It is not just a homebuilder, nor only an apartment developer and manager, nor simply a commercial developer. Although Van Metre is concentrated in real estate, it diversifies its risk by being active in a full range of product types - Land Development, Residential, Retail, Office and Industrial. The Companies' Investment Properties division is the counterbalance to the volatile world of homebuilding projects are purchased or developed with the intent to own for the long term. The portfolio continues to include apartment communities and commercial projects built by Van Metre since the 1960s.
