MetroSys, long known for tunneling beneath Pilegron and expanding the city’s rail networks, is stepping into new territory. The company has launched a housing subsidiary, Metrow, and its first project is taking shape in
Welatunelton Borough.
On land once occupied by
MetroSys’ service yard, now partly demolished and no longer required for operations, Metrow is developing a small cluster of 20 modular single-family row houses. Unlike the sprawling industrial yards that once dominated the space, the new homes are designed for local families, railway workers, and the growing workforce of
Welatunelton’s industrial belt.
In a public statement, the company described the project as a way of making “better use of existing land” while supporting the communities that have grown around its railways.
For
Welatunelton, a borough with a population of just 83 residents, the addition of two dozen new households could mark a significant demographic shift. The development comes amid wider regional changes: the expansion of rail connections toward
Edminton and
Arena, the construction of
Inverportshire Main Station, and ongoing industrial growth from firms like
Mekle Iron Company.
Local observers note that this is not just housing, but a sign of how
Welatunelton is being reshaped from a sleepy rail outpost into a hub of workers, families, and commuters. The modular homes also reflect a growing demand for quicker, more affordable housing solutions in a region under pressure from industrial development.
For
MetroSys, the move into housing comes after decades of reshaping landscapes with tunnels and rails. With Metrow, the company is extending its influence above ground — not through trains, but through the lives of the people who ride them.
