How it worksA fund that builds from the ground up and sells to institutional buyers — where the real returns are made.
The fund develops self-storage and small-bay office/warehouse flex space on identified, entitled sites — then leases up and sells stabilized, income-producing assets to institutional buyers at premium valuations. REITs need stabilized assets to grow but can't develop ground-up efficiently; DES fills that gap. The gap between what it costs to build and what an institutional buyer pays for a stabilized, income-producing property is where investor returns are generated.
