Thoughts on Rockrose Development.

All I know is they own some pretty sweet apartments in the West Village

Toured one of their buildings in TriBeca with sick views. Couldn’t fathom how people would pay those rents. Building was nice but not worth 10K for a 2 bed IMO. To each his own though. 

I'd say they're one of a handful of the older family groups that own a lot of real estate in the city. I think they're somewhat active, would be a good place regardless but especially now since there are not many opportunities. I'd assume they have a lot of capital, but don't have to deploy it like a lot of families.

Also just looked at their website, looking at their team you can tell who really matters at the firm - it's literally the father and son only while I'm sure they have executives that have worked there for decades. Seems they really only care about themselves and may not show appreciation to employees no matter how loyal.

Also look at who'd you'd work with. I just searched for the senior associate on their team there and it seems they've only been less than a year with little to no UW experience at a large developer. That will effectively be your teacher, you may know more than they do which is not a good thing. You want to be sitting next to someone who knows less than you do and has one year of experience?

Top Tier NYC projects. Legit family office vibe, low hours on average, people working there seem to be good people. They look to grow talent and keep people there for a long time. Assoc comp was 125k(base) from memory (they were looking to fill 1-2 years ago).  It is always better to go to a family office when you are more senior, at least a VP role because the comp is okay but the lifestyle is better when you are 30+ years old.
