Itzik Shlomov

Itzik Shlomov is a real estate entrepreneur originally from Tel Aviv who emigrated to Los Angeles at the age of 14. He played a pivotal role in the revitalization of Downtown Los Angeles during the early 1990s by renovating historic buildings and contributing to the area's renaissance. However, he now expresses deep concern over the rapid decline of the downtown area, which he attributes to the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic that led to high vacancy rates and increased crime.
