For the past 34 years, Rose Company has concentrated on improving our local communities by making them more beautiful and economically dynamic places to live. Investment in the community matters deeply to us, which is why we focus on the adaptive reuse of historic properties. Our vision is to “provide the most pleasing places to live and work while maintaining the character of the communities we serve.” Our work not only increases current residents’ pride in their hometown, it also attracts others to the community. From the very start, Rose Company’s civic-mindedness has been the primary motivation for all of its work. Beginning with small “fixer-upper” projects in the early 1980s, Mike Rose, the founder of what was then called Washington Properties, quickly developed a passion for working with public, private, and nonprofit partners on a variety of larger, community-wide projects. As a strong believer in making central business districts genuine destinations, Mike has underwritten and sponsored a variety of public events in the communities in which his company operates, and he will continue to do so in every locality that Rose Company enters. Currently, Rose Company’s revitalized commercial and residential properties include a variety of attractive retail storefronts and professional office suites as well as mixed-use developments featuring market-rate residential lofts. We specialize in creating high quality professional spaces, designed to suit the needs of local businesses, and we work closely with these businesses to create spaces that work best for them so that they can prosper. Thriving businesses means thriving communities. See what we can do together, today!
