context_page_description: Daniel Rose is an American real estate developer, philanthropist and essayist. He is best known professionally for developing the large-scale Pentagon City complex adjacent to Reagan National Airport; building the One Financial Center office tower that anchored the redevelopment of downtown Boston; and conceiving and reinventing a New York real estate apartment complex into the internationally renowned Manhattan Plaza for the Performing Arts. A forceful advocate for private philanthropy and public service, he founded the acclaimed inner-city youth education program, the Harlem Educational Activities Fund, established a wide range of academic and professional educational programs, and served multiple government administrations in unpaid advisory roles. His award-winning essays and speeches have covered subjects as diverse as economics, inner city education, racial problems, social injustice, real estate, food & wine, and housing.

Among other major projects, Daniel Rose led the development of Pentagon City in Alexandria, Virginia adjacent to Ronald Reagan National Airport, and One Financial Center adjacent to South Station in downtown Boston as President of the firm, and became Chairman after the death of his brother, Frederick P. Rose in 1999. As an institutional consultant, Daniel Rose was responsible for the creation and implementation of the innovative “housing for the performing arts” concept for New York's Manhattan Plaza. By 2006, Rose Associates managed over 31,000 apartments in New York City, including Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village.
  He was a Director of 20 Dreyfus-sponsored mutual funds, served as a Director of U.S. Trust Corporation, a Trustee of Corporate Property Investors from 1972 to 1998, as Expert Advisor to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and as Expert/Consultant to the Commissioner of Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
  In his later years, Rose's reputation as a "legendary" business executive established him as a mentor and role model for aspiring young entrepreneurs and real estate executives, and many of his epigrams and quotations have gained wide currency.
