Our Story & Mission
Founded by a lifelong Tampa resident Ford Smith who built his first new construction home in 1994, Metropolis Developers has proudly constructed over 60 homes throughout the Tampa area. Ford has lived, grown up, and raised his family here for more than 50 years, giving us an intimate understanding of the local landscape, communities, and what makes a home truly feel like Tampa.
Our mission is to build every house as if it were our own, with unwavering dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and client satisfaction. This personal touch is at the core of what we do – our founder is personally involved in every project, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. Over the years, we’ve built strong, enduring relationships with subcontractors and suppliers, many of whom we’ve worked with for 30+ years. These long-standing partnerships allow us to deliver consistent quality and reliability on every build. What starts out as a builder-client relationship usually ends up as a life-long friendship, reflecting our commitment to fostering lasting connections in the Tampa community.

What Our Clients Say
My wife and I interviewed several builders to build our custom home and we are so pleased we hired Ford Smith of Metropolis Developers. Ford followed through with all his promises and built us a quality home that we are proud of.
The Castros
I’ve built two homes with Metropolis and couldn’t be happier. After purchasing our first home from Metropolis, they found us a waterfront lot we were looking for and we immediately started the design process. Every step of the way was simple, precise, and exactly what was promised including the build time.
