Jonathan F.P. Rose (born 1952) is an American real estate developer and member of the Rose family. He is best known as a developer of affordable, environmentally responsible, and socially conscious communities. Rose is also the founder of Gramavision Records and 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.
Rose went to work for the family company, Rose Associates, after graduate school. During his time with Rose Associates, he worked on Roosevelt island as well as the 1,000 apartment Mitchell-Lama Manhattan Plaza where he served as the retail leasing manager. The Mitchell-Lama Manhattan Plaza was developed by Richard Ravitch and focused on housing for those in the performing arts as well as previous citizens of the local community. He also worked on the Sheffield apartment building at 57th and 8th Avenue. When 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 proposed moderate-income housing units be built under the New York City Partnership New Homes program. Retail, office space, parks and community gardens were part of the green mixed income, mixed use community. The project was later sold to Bruce Ratner's firm, Forest City.
