Edward Rose Enterprises is a conglomerate of privately held owners, developers, builders and mortgagors of multi-family developments. The company consistently ranks within the top 20 of the 50 largest multifamily owners and managers in the nation. Established in 1921, Edward Rose Enterprises has been a leader in the residential construction business for over 80 years, developing both single family and multifamily dwellings.

Edward Rose began the business as "Edward Rose & Sons." Most of the development prior to 1965 was single family home construction. Since then, however, the concentration has been primarily on apartments and has yielded over 60,000 units. The company currently owns and manages over 50,000 apartment units in 10 states, with a concentration in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the nation. Edward Rose, the Patriarch of the family-owned business, was recognized as a leader in the industry and inducted into the National Association of Home Builders Hall of Fame.

A community is made up of more than just buildings and streets. Each community has a spirit, and the people who live and work there help to mold the character of that spirit.

At Edward Rose, we take that responsibility seriously. We look for opportunities to quietly give a little back, or to become more involved. Whether that means collecting food donations measured in tonnage for Gleaner's Food Bank during "National Make a Difference Day", or dressing up as Santa's elves and standing out in the cold to serve as drive-through toy donation sites for "Toys for Tots", community service is an important part of the company's philosophy.

The Midwest and Mid-Atlantic divisions of the company have taken this commitment a step further by dedicating a full-time position to corporate and community outreach. Events are planned regularly which support the needs and interests of the local communities to which the Edward Rose properties belong. These events are designed to work in cooperation with many nonprofit and charitable organizations where 100% of the proceeds support the cause.

In some cases, however, donations are not always the focus. Pet adoption drives in conjunction with the Humane Society or local equivalent organizations have also been successful events at many pet-friendly communities. "National Night Out" events, which encourage members of the local police and fire departments to get to know community members and help residents of our communities to meet their neighbors, have also become very popular at some of the Edward Rose properties.

The needs of the area communities are what drive the company's involvement. Keeping abreast of those needs, and reacting to them is more than a company philosophy; in the housing industry, it's simply part of being a good neighbor.
