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.

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.
