Meet The Metropolitan Custom Homes Team

Since 2001, founder Stuart Beken has built a reputation for creating exceptional homes and helping clients navigate some of Texas’ most distinctive real estate opportunities. His vision extends beyond individual residences to thoughtfully planned communities where quality craftsmanship, timeless design and lasting value come together.

Stuart’s experience encompasses luxury custom homes in Houston’s Memorial Villages, premier developments such as Round Top Reserve, and exclusive partnerships including Big Easy Ranch. Throughout every project, his commitment remains the same: create places that are beautifully designed, expertly built and made to stand the test of time.

That same passion and commitment define the Metropolitan Custom Homes team. We believe a custom home that truly exceeds expectations requires more than great design - it requires experience, hands-on oversight and disciplined, process-driven execution at every stage. Our team brings that level of attention to every home, ensuring that quality, communication and craftsmanship remain at the forefront from start to finish.

“

Metropolitan Custom Homes was a delight to work with. They were responsive to our communications, performed high quality work and were always ready to make changes or do what was necessary to get things “right.” We also found their experience invaluable since this was our first time to build a custom home and there were many things that we did not know. One of Metropolitan’s best qualities is their timeliness. They keep the process moving and we never felt like our house was being neglected or that work was not progressing. We also were impressed with the different trade crews that were used to work on the house, the head painter especially was particular that the job was done right. We would definitely build with Metropolitan again.
