New England Urban – The Metro Star Brand

Metro Star identifies real estate opportunities (multi-family, retail, and office) embedded in New England transit-oriented and central urban locations. This business model includes either ground up or adaptive reuse development that re-invigorates downtown areas through the creation of high quality, architecturally significant buildings. This development program combines high concentrations of residential dwellings with the renewal of business spaces to stimulate the urban “lifestyle” rental environment.

Mature Inner-Ring Suburban – The Star Deluxe Apartment Brand

Recognizing the Millennial transition from core urban living to suburban settings, Metro Star created the Star Deluxe apartment brand. Ranging from 125 to 250 units, Metro Star targets inner-ring suburban locations with convenient access to major highways and employment centers. Despite this lifestyle shift, Millennials continue to seek urban style socialization and entertainment. Many New England cities and towns provide this atmosphere with a high density of restaurants, retail, and recreation opportunities located in their signature downtown areas yet surrounded by suburban housing opportunities.

Medical Office – Patriot Center by Metro Star

Using decades of Medical Office development experience as a guide, Metro Star created the Patriot Center MOB brand. Designed for Suburban locations, Patriot Center provides a sophisticated warm New England architectural feel with easy parking layouts to deliver a comfortable welcoming environment for patients. Patriot Center was met with great success and has attracted credit tenant such as Yale University and Yale New Haven Health Systems.

For Sale Home Building – Metro Star Homes

During favorable economic times, Metro Star can quickly enter and exit the for-sale home building market. With many years of experience building and selling homes, the Metro Star team can develop condominium communities and single-family homes at scale.

Retail – Select Retail Development

The retail business environment is everchanging with brick and mortar facing significant disruption in the coming decade. With this transformation, Metro Stars sees existing retail as a redevelopment opportunity. New England is riddled with underperforming “strip” retail centers, often in desirable locations and perfectly positioned for mixed use development that include significant multifamily concentrations. Metro Star has years of experience working with national and local grocery, retail, and restaurant operators to create modern relevant pure retail and signature mixed use developments.
