Over 30 years ago our founder Masayuki Ueda visited San Diego from Japan and was inspired by its beauty and potential. He chose to stay and has spent decades investing in the community to help the city grow into one of the world’s great cities.
San Diego is entering a new era of growth. The city has prioritized key redevelopment areas, advanced new transit lines, and laid the groundwork for projects that will shape the next generation. With strong demand for housing, tourism, and sustainable infrastructure, the city is poised for transformation — and those who participate now will help define its future.
At Daruma, we believe development must create both economic value and social impact. That is why our projects are designed to generate sustainable returns and build stronger communities.
