La Mesa and was a vocal advocate for the "Shattuck Plan" to convert Horton Plaza to a convention hall. In 1960 he was part of a group of developers who pooled together a $4M loan for low income housing in Mexico. Also in the early 1960s, Kahn erected two 'skyscrapers' in Centre City. At the time they were two of the tallest buildings in San Diego, surpassed only by the El Cortez hotel (1927) and the Executive Complex (1963). Kahn built a bowling alley and nightclub in El Cajon with Louis Lesser, and eventually expanded his bowling holdings to include 11 alleys. He also developed two resort hotel properties on Shelter Island, the first of their kind on the small strip of reclaimed land adjacent to the canneries of Point Loma, and was Chairman & CEO of the Continental Connector Corporation, which held a controlling interest in the iconic Dunes Hotel, Casino & Country Club.

(The raid 'nabbed' dozens of elderly female spa guests who had been playing mah-jong and bridge, an outcome that was covered humorously in the contemporary press.) Personal life and death Kahn was married to Eleanor Barlin (1925 - 2011); they had one son, Samuel “Sandy” Kahn. Kahn and his wife were active in San Diego Jewish philanthropy. Kahn died suddenly in September 1973 from a heart attack while watching the Ali-Norton fight on closed circuit television. At the time of his death, he owed nearly $180 million to the Teamsters Pension Fund (nearly $1 billion in 2015 dollars), making the Irvin Kahn Organization & subsidiaries the fund's largest investment. Kahn's 19-year-old son Samuel, then a
