What Our Clients Say

Kathleen is one of the finest real estate retail consultants I have had the pleasure of working with over my career, which includes 7 years working for a competitor in the same line of work. She is very diligent, energetic, thoughtful, extremely intelligent and very bottom-line oriented. She is an excellent member of a multidisciplinary team and will always carry more than her share of the load.

David Leininger, CFO, Dallas Area Rapid Transit

Rose & Associates and Kathleen Rose have provided strategic planning, market feasibility and commercial needs assessments for a number of our projects in North Carolina. Kathleen has a unique ability to compress and interpret complex market demographics and real estate analysis in a manner that is easy to understand. Her research is thorough and firmly grounded in the market realities of the region in which she is working. We have integrated her studies into our planning efforts to ensure market feasibility of our designs and visions.

Craig Lewis, Principal, Stantec

Kathleen is an excellent and insightful analyst of development and demographic trends. She is able to analyze markets and communities quickly in ways that provide clear and usable information to urban designers and planners exactly when we need it during the master planning process. She has very good personal skills working with community groups and elected officials to explain the realities of the market in clear and easy to understand language.
