The Rose

The Rose Corporation ("Rose") was founded in 1982 by Sam Reisman and has evolved from a housing and land development operation to a boutique merchant bank. A senior management team underwrites investments in businesses and real estate projects, and offers co-investment opportunities to third-party investors. Rose's history also includes active and substantial investments in manufacturing and service businesses. Rose currently manages real estate funds, which provide capital by way of joint ventures and mortgage financing for real estate projects. Through an affiliated company, Rose offers non-real estate private equity financing (debt and equity). Rose is distinguished by its ability to quickly identify an opportunity at hand and act decisively. Rose's strengths include creativity, business and deal execution, raising capital, and real estate development operating expertise.
