Van Metre Companies, a Fairfax, Virginina-based real estate development, construction, and investment firm focused on the Mid-Atlantic region, has promoted Mike Dunleavy to CEO, effective immediately.
Dunleavy succeeds Rick Rabil, who is retiring after nearly two decades as CEO and more than four decades with Van Metre Companies. Dunleavy joined the company in 2018 as vice president of finance for investment properties and was the company’s chief financial officer since March 2024.
“Van Metre has always taken a long-term view of our business, our people, and our responsibility as a family-owned company,” said Beau Van Metre, chairman of Van Metre Companies. “Mike is the right leader for this next chapter. He understands the enterprise at a strategic level and shares our commitment to thoughtful growth, strong governance, and enduring partnerships. We are confident in his ability to lead Van Metre while honoring the values and discipline that have defined our success.”
