Early Life and Education
Scott David Malkin was born in 1959 to Jewish parents Isabel and Peter. His father, a real estate investor in New York, once owned the Empire State Building. Malkin's grandfather Lawrence Wien was also a real estate investor; he pioneered the concept of real estate syndicates. Malkin was raised in Connecticut with his sister Cynthia and his brother Anthony. For his higher education, he attended Harvard University, from which he obtained his bachelor's, JD, and MBA degrees.
Value Retail
After moving to London, England, Malkin founded the company Value Retail in 1992. With Value Retail, he combined his experience selling luxury goods with the American outlet mall concept, establishing an alternative operating model to the traditional shopping center seen in Europe. The idea was to create outlet centers on the outskirts of major cities that would sell excess stock of luxury fashion brands at discounted prices. Value Retail does this through its "Villages," large, open-air pedestrian streets with shops that offer curated selections of name brands. The company has destinations throughout Europe, including in areas around London, Dublin, Milan, Barcelona, Munich, Paris, and Brussels. There are also Value Retail Villages in New York and China. Value Retail has over $2 billion in sales.
