Donald Bren

For over 45 years, Donald Bren – Chairman of the Irvine Company® – has played an integral part in California real estate as a “master planner, master builder and a long-term investor.” He was one of the first in the industry to combine well-designed homes with amenities like parks and large open spaces; top quality schools; employment centers and shopping centers in an effort to create balanced master-planned communities. Through all this today, Bren is known for being an expert in the interrelated fields of planning, design, architecture, construction, marketing and finance. With Bren at the helm, the company has gone from being a globally-recognized community developer to one of America’s prime real estate investment companies.
