Socially and environmentally conscious development

Join this Lunch N Learn to get an understanding of the core values that guide Jonathan Rose Companies, and how these values directly influence the firm’s investment choices and operating decisions. 

Founder and CEO Jonathan F.P. Rose will touch on the following topics, including:

  • Key lessons the firm has learned over time, including early assumptions that proved incorrect and the strategic pivots made in areas such as capital structure, partnerships, and operations.
  • Major challenges in delivering and scaling affordable multifamily housing—financing limitations, development and execution hurdles, and policy or community constraints—and the approaches used to address them.
  • Near‑term outlook for affordable housing in 2026–2027, including emerging opportunities and risks related to interest rates, funding availability, and construction and operating costs.
  • Shifts in the federal landscape that may affect the firm’s strategy, and how policies influence projects that use federal funding beyond LIHTC.
  • New and emerging financing strategies for affordable and mixed‑income housing.

Lunch will be served. Registration required.
