MetroNational was founded in 1954 as a Houston-area real estate firm built around long-term ownership and development. The company invests in, develops, and manages commercial properties, with a portfolio centered on mixed-use, office, retail, hospitality, multifamily, and medical assets in Greater Houston. Memorial City remains the core development, and recent activity has included acquisitions and redevelopment work in the Memorial City and CityCentre areas, along with expansion through projects such as M-K-T Heights. The business emphasizes preserving and growing properties for long-term use rather than building for quick resale.
