What DXD Capital does

DXD Capital is a Denver-headquartered private equity real estate firm exclusively focused on the U.S. self-storage sector. Founded in 2020, the firm sponsors a series of closed-end private equity funds — DXD Self Storage Fund I ($63M closed November 2020), Fund II (launched June 2022), and a third fund targeting $200M that became available on the iCapital Marketplace in April 2026 — through which it has raised more than $230M and currently manages a portfolio of 41+ projects across 20+ states. DXD underwrites ground-up development and selective acquisitions, leverages a proprietary data analytics platform called RAUM to identify supply/demand imbalances in markets with high barriers to entry, and outsources property management to institutional operators including Extra Space Storage and Public Storage.

DXD's core product is institutional-quality self-storage investment exposure delivered through private fund vehicles, with individual ground-up developments co-executed alongside JV partners such as Olympus Ventures and CrossHarbor Capital Partners. The technology stack is centered on the RAUM data analytics platform, which evaluates site selection, market attractiveness, and barrier-to-entry characteristics using proprietary data sets and a data-first investment process led by a dedicated Data & Analytics team. Operations are supported by integration with Juniper Square for investor relations and iCapital Marketplace for distribution to RIAs and wealth managers.

DXD generates revenue primarily through private equity fund management fees and carried interest on Fund I, II, and III, with potential ancillary revenue from asset management of stabilized properties. Capital is sourced from accredited high-net-worth individuals, family offices, institutional investors (endowments, foundations), and RIAs through direct LP outreach, the iCapital Marketplace, and capital conference participation. Target returns of high-teens to low-twenties IRRs and approximately 2x money multiples over 4-7 year fund cycles are stated as the investor value proposition, with realized exits beginning in late 2025 (Summerlin South sale).
