OUR PEOPLE
David Delmar has extensive experience with the full spectrum of real estate services including acquisition, sale, leasing, land use, and development. David's primary goal, in assisting our clients with any real estate transaction, is to get the deal done as efficiently and effectively as possible. To that end, his work is meticulous and thoughtful and oriented toward anticipating and avoiding problems before they arise to ensure our clients' best interests are represented at all times.
David's past work and representative projects include the permitting and entitlement of a major mixed use medical and retail project and a residential master planned developments in Oregon; the acquisition of a large industrial project in Temple, Texas; the tripartite acquisition of three large parcels of land in Mansfield, Texas, for the development of a major manufacturing facility; the acquisition of a $40 million apartment complex in Houston; the sale of a commercial outlot in Woodhaven, Michigan, as part of a master planned commercial and mixed use development; the acquisition of raw, undivided land in Surprise, Arizona, as part of a major retail development; the leasing of a large cold storage facility in Houston; and the negotiation of a multi-parcel reciprocal access and easement agreement, to satisfy the Department of Transportation.
Before joining The Watson Firm, David was a real estate attorney in the Dallas office of Polsinelli and a real estate and land use attorney in the Portland, Oregon, office of Perkins Coie. Licensed to practice law in Texas and Oregon, David received his law degree in 2014 from Harvard Law School, where he received the Dean’s Scholar Prize for his proficiency with real estate and property law. He earned his bachelor’s degree, summa cum laude, from the University of Oregon in 2010.
An Oregon native, David moved in 2019 to Texas, where he enjoys the warmer weather and — as an avid weather photographer and videographer — the Lone Star State’s propensity for terrifying storms. He enjoys reading, writing short stories, and exploring the outdoors, particularly the Broken Bow area of Oklahoma, with his wife and son.
