Lorenzo Doumani

Lorenzo Doumani has always been a bit of a “rebel”—and not just because he’s a native Las Vegan. The son of Las Vegas pioneer Edward Doumani, Lorenzo was immersed in the hospitality and development business from an early age, working every conceivable job at his family’s iconic El Morocco and La Concha Motels (designed by legendary architect Paul Revere Williams) —as well as getting to observe the development process from conception to completion on the Tropicana and Golden Nugget Hotels—carefully studying and learning from such visionaries as Jay Sarno (Caesar’s Palace, Circus Circus) and Steve Wynn (his father’s former business partner). In 2000, he formed Majestic Resorts to redevelop the Las Vegas strip property on which the La Concha & El Morocco sat. As CEO of Majestic, he completed plans, entitlements and funding on the proposed $650 million Waldorf Astoria condominium hotel. In October 2007, he sold the fully entitled project to developer Triple 5 for $180 million. In 2009, Lorenzo decided to go back to school, attending UCLA and obtaining his MBA in 2011. In 2013, Doumani purchased the historic Hollywood “Park Hill” estate from pop star Katy Perry in 2013. The property, which was in shambles, provided Doumani the opportunity not only to restore the estate to its 1920’s glory, but to reinvent it as a new LA icon in his own signature style; timeless contemporary elegance. The “Park Hill” restoration & redevelopment project was completed in 2016 (www. ParkHillEstate.com). In 2014, Lorenzo purchased a 6.1 acre site on Convention Center Drive—less than two blocks from the Strip and across the street from the new Las Vegas Convention Center. He imploded the former Clarion Hotel (which occupied the site) in early 2015, then began developing the Majestic Las Vegas—A throw-back to the 1960’s—drawing inspiration from Paul Williams’ iconic La Concha design.

As principal landscape architect, David oversees all aspects of the design and production of firm projects at McCullough. He serves as head designer on all projects and maintains quality control on all work completed. Previous projects have earned awards and recognition in several national publications. David finds time in his schedule to take leadership in creative organizations such as the the San Diego Architecture Foundation (SDAF) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) local Urban Design Committee. He currently serves as Chair of the Pecha Kucha Night program, which is on its sixth successful year. He finds it inspiring to take part in such a diverse mix of creative minds while bringing them together to share with the public their wild ideas. In addition, recently David was appointed by San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer to serve on the Historical Resources Board as Chair, which governs the identification, protection, retention and preservation of historical sites in San Diego. Concurrently, he has been invited to serve on the city’s Code Monitoring Team (CMT). David’s design philosophy is centered around merging context and creative passion with grit, soul, and style. The firm takes every project with a uniquely creative approach that centers around diversity, discovery and conservation. David feels it’s important to engage the human spirit with nature, while expressing empathy.
