A Banach space operator A <TEX>$\in$</TEX> B(X) is polaroid if the isolated points of the spectrum of A are poles of the resolvent of A; A is hereditarily polaroid, A <TEX>$\in$</TEX> (<TEX>$\mathcal{H}\mathcal{P}$</TEX>), if every part of A is polaroid. Let <TEX>$X^n\;=\;\oplus^n_{t=i}X_i$</TEX>, where <TEX>$X_i$</TEX> are Banach spaces, and let A denote the class of upper triangular operators A = <TEX>$(A_{ij})_{1{\leq}i,j{\leq}n$</TEX>, <TEX>$A_{ij}\;{\in}\;B(X_j,X_i)$</TEX> and <TEX>$A_{ij}$</TEX> = 0 for i > j. We prove that operators A <TEX>$\in$</TEX> A such that <TEX>$A_{ii}$</TEX> for all <TEX>$1{\leq}i{\leq}n$</TEX>, and <TEX>$A^*$</TEX> have the single-valued extension property have spectral properties remarkably close to those of Jordan operators of order n and n-normal operators. Operators A <TEX>$\in$</TEX> A such that <TEX>$A_{ii}$</TEX> <TEX>$\in$</TEX> (<TEX>$\mathcal{H}\mathcal{P}$</TEX>) for all <TEX>$1{\leq}i{\leq}n$</TEX> are polaroid and have SVEP; hence they satisfy Weyl's theorem. Furthermore, A+R satisfies Browder's theorem for all upper triangular operators R, such that <TEX>$\oplus^n_{i=1}R_{ii}$</TEX> is a Riesz operator, which commutes with A.
