Adam America Names Development Veteran as New CEO

Adam America Real Estate, a leading development and investment firm focused on the living sector, announced the appointment of David Brickman as CEO. With more than two decades of real estate experience, Brickman has developed more than five million square feet of mixed-use and residential projects across major U.S. markets and has played a key role in capital formation, structuring joint ventures and executing complex, large-scale transactions.

Before joining Adam America, Brickman held senior leadership roles at Onex Real Estate Partners and Skyview Companies. In his new role, he will lead the firm’s long-term growth strategy and oversee execution across its investment and development platform, spanning student housing, multifamily, condominium and build-to-rent projects nationwide.

Brickman’s appointment marks a pivotal moment for Adam America as the firm accelerates the growth of its platform, expands its presence in high-growth markets and continues to deepen its relationships with institutional capital partners. New York-based Adam America has developed more than 5,750 residential units, with an additional 1,600 units in its pipeline, representing over $4.2 billion in total asset value.
