About David Malmuth

Throughout his career in real estate, David has demonstrated the ability to conceptualize and implement unique solutions for each site he has encountered. No two projects are the same. Each place, whether it be primarily retail, entertainment, office, or multi-family, draws its inspiration from the site’s context and history, and is therefore fully integrated into its surroundings. This approach has resulted in places that produce long-term value for the community as well as ownership.

In 2011, David and Pete Garcia formed I.D.E.A. Partners to lead the development of the I.D.E.A. District (Innovation + Design + Education + Arts) in downtown San Diego. This transformative initiative, located on 35 city blocks in the Upper East Village, aims to create a vibrant, sustainable mixed-use neighborhood that will generate thousands of high-paying design and technology jobs in the next 10 years.

David has also led the development of signature projects including The New Amsterdam Theater, NYC; Disney Ice, Anaheim, CA; Hollywood and Highland, Hollywood, CA; and Paseo Colorado, Pasadena, CA

“I have been fortunate to partner with David on several projects over the last 10 years. His vast experience in master planning, design and sensitivity to the people spaces between the buildings allows him to envision a project and then pull together the right team members to make it happen.”

“David Malmuth and I have enjoyed a decades-long professional and personal relationship. In my circle, he is the ‘go to’ guy in taking up complicated mixed-use development either from the ground up or as an adaptive reuse. He is the most excellent thinker, creator, and people person that I know in the industry.”
