Schwartzman, formerly VP, Development at CIM Group, Brings 15 Years of Real Estate Experience to CityView

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CityView, a premier investment management and development firm focused on urban multifamily real estate in the Western United States, announced today that H. Michael Schwartzman has joined the firm’s Los Angeles office as vice president of development. Schwartzman will report to Managing Director Tony Cardoza and will oversee development of CityView’s Southern California assets, including projects in San Diego, Costa Mesa and Los Angeles’ Koreatown.

“We are thrilled to welcome an executive of Michael’s caliber to our team,” said Cardoza. “Michael brings a wealth of development experience to CityView and will be invaluable to us in completing the existing urban projects which are currently underway, as well as overseeing those which will come online in the near future. Michael’s unique combination of development, finance and architectural skills fits perfectly with the non-traditional, complex transactions which make up the majority of CityView’s portfolio.”

“Southern California is a very active market for us, and Michael’s addition to the team represents an important step as we continue to strategically grow the development side of our business while also continuing to invest with our joint venture partners,” said Sean Burton, president of CityView. “Bringing this function in-house furthers our position as both an investor and developer and provides us with opportunities to add value throughout the entire investment process – from origination to development and eventually through exit. We feel that by taking these steps we will be able to generate even stronger returns for our investors.”

Before joining CityView, Schwartzman was a vice president, development at CIM Group, one of the leading real estate and infrastructure investment firms focused on projects in dynamic and densely populated communities throughout North America. In that role, he oversaw the development of large, mixed-use projects that incorporated retail, residential and office spaces.

He was also previously a REIT analyst with Friedman, Billings, Ramsey. Schwartzman holds bachelor and master degrees in architecture from Tulane University and a master’s degree in real estate finance from Johns Hopkins University.

“My decision to join CityView was driven by the firm’s sterling reputation and its ability to successfully complete extremely complicated urban real estate projects that improve their surrounding communities,” said Schwartzman. “CityView consistently delivers interesting and much needed housing developments, and the firm’s current Southern California projects are very much in line with my expertise. I am excited to be part of such a driven, dynamic and well-respected team.”
