Tom Gilmore is a developer of residential, commercial, and retail properties based in Los Angeles, California.

Gilmore's residential projects are primarily in downtown Los Angeles and have been recognized as a leading cause of the city's largest resurgence in real estate investment in more than 50 years. His projects have also initiated the greatest in-flow of residents and commercial businesses in the modern history of Los Angeles.

Gilmore studied architecture at the City University of New York, City College. While still a student, Gilmore founded his own architectural firm serving both commercial and residential clients. In 1992, Gilmore relocated to Los Angeles where, in 1996 he founded Gilmore Associates, a real estate development firm committed to urban revitalization and renewing the city's long-neglected historic core.

Gilmore Associates' redevelopment efforts began with an impoverished area in Downtown Los Angeles which had some of the highest unemployment and crime rates in the city. Gilmore purchased an entire city block of vacant historic buildings and within a few years converted the abandoned structures to loft-style residences with retail stores and restaurants on the ground floor. Known as "The Old Bank District," the area is now home to thousands of residents and numerous commercial tenants. Gilmore, along with Gilmore Associates and Gilmore China Group, continues to pursue, invest in, and develop mixed-use properties throughout the region.
