Simon Property Group reported the passing of its chairman and chief executive officer David Simon after his battle with cancer at the age of 64. He had been leading the company since 1995, during which the company's shares increased significantly over time. Following this development, the company appointed Chief Operating Officer Eli Simon as the new CEO and president, while board member Larry Glasscock was named non-executive chairman. The transition comes as the firm continues to focus on strong rental performance and operational stability across its retail portfolio.
Simon Property Group announced earlier this week that its chairman and chief executive officer David Simon passed away on Sunday following a prolonged battle with cancer. He was 64 years old and had been associated with the company for several decades, leading it since 1995. During his tenure, the company experienced substantial growth, with its share value increasing more than eightfold over the years, reflecting its expansion and positioning in the commercial real estate sector.

Following his passing, the company moved to appoint Eli Simon, who was serving as Chief Operating Officer, as the new chief executive officer and president. At the same time, board member Larry Glasscock was designated as non-executive chairman to oversee board-level responsibilities. These leadership changes were implemented to ensure continuity in operations and governance within the organization.
The company had, in the preceding month, shared its outlook for 2026 funds from operations, indicating expectations that were largely above market projections. This outlook was supported by its strategy of maintaining strong rental income across its malls and shopping centers, even as the retail real estate sector continues to adjust to evolving consumer patterns and leasing dynamics.
