Mr. Wilson and his company have served as a state and federal court-appointed fiduciary in more than 1,200, with assets valued in excess of $15 billion.

Mr. Wilson built DWC based on a counter-cyclical approach to real estate and the economy. Upon doing principal real estate development work and seeing the striking effects of economic cycles on the industry, he soon created this cycles-based approach, enabling DWC to continue to grow in all economic environments. Under this vision, DWC today includes a thriving fiduciary practice focused on workout and receivership services, as well as advisory services to meet clients’ needs during all parts of the economic cycle.

Mr. Wilson has a successful track record of developing award-winning urban projects. Notable projects include: Symphony Towers, a 1.2 million square foot project designed by Skidmore, Owens & Merril. This project consisted of a 34-story 600,000 square-foot office building, a 260 suite hotel and the 2,700 seat historic theater that is now the home of the San Diego Symphony. The Mark, a 33-story, 240 units luxury condominium project located one block from the San Diego Padres’ Petco Park; Parkloft, an award winning, poured-in-place concrete and brick building with 120 one- and two-story residential lofts located in downtown San Diego’s East Village neighborhood; China Basin Landing, a 675,000 square-foot office complex on the San Francisco Bay waterfront, adjacent to the San Francisco Giants’ Pacific Bell Park; Half Street, a 400,000 square-foot office building with ground floor retail, located in the Capitol Riverfront District of Washington, D.C.; and the NOAA Facility, a 268,762 square-foot office and research facility located adjacent to the University of Maryland. These projects have a combined cost in today’s market in excess of $1.5 billion.

He is on the UCSD Real Estate Advisory Board as well as the USD Burnham-Moores Real Estate School; and Lambda Alpha International land economics fraternity.
