Jonathan Rose Companies’ mission is to repair the fabric of cities, towns and villages, while preserving the land around them.  To do this, they plan and develop diverse, mixed-use, transit-accessible, mixed-income communities or components focused on nodes of transportation.  At the same time, they develop plans to preserve surrounding farms and open spaces.  The result is equitable, and supports the cultural, environmental and biological health of the bioregions they work in.
