A Rose By Another Name

Jonathan Rose Companies is a real estate policy, planning, development, owner's representative and investment firm; but hardly like most others.
Nearly 1/2 of their latest 24 page newsletter Developing Times reads reads like a college essay.  For example, population growth, energy demands, climate change, and biodiversity loss are discussed as factors driving and mitigating international development.  Hardly the stuff of the average capitalist.

Is this just PR hype to impress clientele?  Is there a true focus to what seems like meandering thoughts?  And do they really conform to their stated ambitions?  You'd have to be more inside their business than I to have a sound opinion.

What I do have an opinion about is that Jonathan Rose has gone beyond the traditional stereotypes of our business.  I wish them well.  We could all benefit from the attitude adjustments they prescribe.
