Fun Fact: As a developer in northern Virginia, Henry John Rolfs, Sr. (1908-1994) adopted the motto, “Buy in the path of progress.” Rolfs applied this philosophy when he and his wife, Zoe, moved to Palm Beach County in 1964; the visionary amassed over 4,000 acres.nnWith David Paladino, Rolfs developed a plan in 1986 for a project called Downtown/Uptown. Over eight months, they quietly bought over 300 properties covering 26 blocks and 77 acres in downtown West Palm Beach. The developers tried to interest the Guinness Book of Records in their feat, as analysts knew of no other private urban redevelopment with as many sellers and parcels.

Henry J. Rolfs was a successful land developer who accomplished many of the most well-known developments in Palm Beach County. Henry Ross hails from New York City and obtained a master's degree in industrial Psychology from Columbia University. Some of his most recognizable projects for the development of land along Okeechobee Boulevard on the west side of the Florida Turnpike. That area was made for both commercial and Industrial use. He ended his career on a high note by tempting one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country. Unfortunately, the only part he was able to see to completion was the kravis center and the Beautiful 8th Lane Palm tree-lined Okeechobee Boulevard. The urban renewal project that we refer to is now known as city place and the surrounding hotels Office Buildings and many beautiful residences all of which wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the brilliant for sight of Mr. Henry J Rolfs. June 21st 1908 - May 8th 1994.

This statue is in the city place area of West Palm beach . Visiting is a statue isn't the fun part here unless you're a relative , but the surrounding area is a tribute to this founder of West Palm Beach and upgrading this under developed and run down area of the city . Now it's then central focus of activity in West Palm Beach and all the stores , restaurant , and family activities that are central to this area !
