Jonathan F.P. Rose (born 1952) is an American real estate developer, urban developer, author and member of the Rose family. He is best known as a developer of affordable, environmentally responsible communities. Rose is also the founder of Gramavision Records, a jazz and new music label. He is the author of The Well Tempered City: What Modern Science, Ancient Civilizations and Human Behavior Teach Us About the Future of Urban Life.
Rose was born to a Jewish family in New Rochelle, New York and raised in Scarsdale, New York, the son of Sandra (née Priest) and Frederick P. Rose. His grandfather, Samuel B. Rose, and great-uncle, David Rose, founded the real estate development company Rose Associates in 1928 and built small apartment buildings in the Bronx and then in Manhattan in the 1930s. His father, Frederick P. Rose, who later served as the chairman of Rose Associates, expanded the company with his two brothers, Daniel and Elihu. Rose attended the Horace Mann School and graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy in 1974. In 1980, Rose earned a Masters in Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania in a program lead by Ian McHarg.
After graduate school, Rose joined his family's real estate company, Rose Associates, in 1976 to learn the practice of development. In 1979-80, he developed the American Thread Building, the first live/work residential community to include computers and internet access in every home. When New York City's Mayor Koch called for assistance in developing affordable housing, Rose Associates obtained development rights for the area around the Atlantic Terminal. Rose was named project developer. In 1984, Rose over saw the design and approvals of the project, Atlantic Center, conceived of as one of the first large scale green mixed-use, mixed-income communities, with moderate-income housing units that were to be built under the New York City Partnership New Homes program. Prior to the start of construction, the project was later sold to Bruce Ratner's firm, Forest City/Ratner.
