DHIP Group

What DHIP Group does

DHIP Group is a Winter Park, Florida-based private diversified asset manager that develops, finances, and invests in major infrastructure projects. The firm specializes in identifying undervalued or stranded infrastructure assets — particularly in energy, transportation, and bulk liquids logistics — and unlocking their value through public-private partnerships, regulatory navigation, and stakeholder consensus building. Founded as the successor to Drexel Hamilton Infrastructure Partners, LP, DHIP operates a small team (11-50 employees) across offices in Winter Park, FL and Briarcliff Manor, NY.

The company's core asset pipeline includes the $2.5 billion Plaquemines Liquids Terminal (a 20-million-barrel liquid bulk storage and deep-water export facility on the lower Mississippi River, developed in partnership with the Plaquemines Port Harbor and Terminal District and operated with Tallgrass Energy, a Blackstone Infrastructure Partners portfolio company) and the $2 billion Uinta Basin Railway (an 88-mile rail line in Utah connecting the Uinta Basin to Class-I networks UP and BNSF, developed under a public-private partnership with the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition and with construction and operations led by Rio Grande Pacific Corp.). Additional operating businesses include DHIP Self-Storage, an approximately 85,000 square foot climate-controlled facility under development in Mt. Kisco, NY, and DHIP Construction Management, a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business joint venture with Folor Inc. providing general contracting services.

DHIP's business model is a hybrid of private equity infrastructure investing and public-market capital formation. The firm generates returns through capital appreciation and distributions from portfolio companies, SPAC sponsor economics via its sponsored vehicle Integrated Rail and Resources Acquisition Corp. (IRRX — which raised $230M in a November 2021 NYSE IPO and completed a business combination with Tar Sands Holdings II, LLC in December 2025 to form Uinta Infrastructure Group Corp.), and professional services income from the construction management JV. Its go-to-motion is enterprise field sales targeting institutional investors, government agencies, and strategic industry counterparties, with deal origination driven by political relationships, tribal partnerships (e.g., the Ute Indian Tribe), and long-cycle regulatory expertise rather than traditional product marketing.
