DXD Capital to launch self-storage project in Miami’s Allapattah submarket

Martha Hargrove
 

 MIAMI, FL, Feb. 27, 2023 -- DXD Capital, a data-driven real estate and private equity firm based in Albuquerque, NM, will launch on March 1st its latest self-storage project in the Allapattah submarket of Miami, Florida.

 

The proposed self-storage facility will be a five-story, fully climate-controlled building with 865 units, with a total cost of $18.7 million, and is located in an area with strong rental growth. The location was selected using DXD’s unique, data-driven site selection process.




According to DXD, Allapattah is a prime market for self-storage, due to its high multifamily occupancy of 96.79%, with 4,913 multifamily units planned for delivery.

 

 Apartment dwellers are three times more likely to use self-storage, and their preferred self-storage units are typically within 3 miles – or roughly a 10-minute drive – away from their residence.

 

Allapattah’s median income is expected to rise by 2% annually until 2025, with higher income residents increasingly moving into new multifamily units around the area.

 

 It is also close to the proposed $1 billion mixed-use soccer complex project for soccer team Inter Miami, which is co-owned by David Beckham.


 David Beckham

The plans include a 25,000-seat soccer stadium, 750 room hotel, restaurants, retail, and a 50+ acre park. The proximity of the project is expected to increase economic opportunities in the area and the planned multifamily deliveries point to an accelerated gentrification in the Miami Allapattah sub-market.

 

The Allapattah project is part of DXD’s continued investment in self-storage development. Self-storage experienced strong rental rate growth through the pandemic and represents one of the fastest growing investment opportunities in the United States.


“DXD reverse-engineers that process,” says Martha Hargrove, DXD Capital Managing Director - Investor Relations.

 

“Real estate professionals have a rough understanding of land costs, construction costs, property taxes, and many different metrics. From there, we can determine what rental rates we must achieve to deliver our investors outsized returns.”

 


According to Hargrove, DXD’s specialization in self-storage gives it an edge over other developers in the space.

 

“We’ve assembled a team of experts to be the best investor in self-storage. Our 25-person team has developed over 200 facilities nationwide. They now select sites and build self storage facilities with DXD from the ground up across the US.”

 

Hargrove added that DXD’s investments have been performing well in today’s self-storage-friendly climate.

 

“One of our projects in Litchfield Park, Arizona, just outside of Phoenix, has outperformed our pro forma leasing expectations by more than 150%, despite opening in November, which is typically the slowest leasing month for self-storage.”

Legacy of Creativity and Innovation Foundation for Newly Branded Clayworks District in Golden, CO

 

The Coors Family’s 5-block downtown Golden property will be
transformed into a ultra-sustainable mixed-use new district

 Golden, CO. Feb. 27, 2023 – AC Development announced today the launch of Clayworks, the new brand for the planned mixed-use district in downtown Golden previously known as the CoorsTek 9th Street Redevelopment.

Clayworks will be an extension of downtown Golden, welcoming the community back to this historic site for the first time in well over a century.

Dan Cohen

The Clayworks vision and plan were unanimously approved by the Golden City Council last year.

The deeply sustainable new district will be located on over 12 acres of land owned by the Coors family.

The site has been home to CoorsTek’s technical ceramics manufacturing and research facilities since 1910, but AC Development will soon transform this area into a dynamic five-block district with cutting edge office spaces, a boutique hotel, distinctive apartments, and outstanding food and beverage — all rooted in the beautiful context and lifestyle of Golden, Colorado.


Michael Coors

“We are excited to re-envision and transform this significant property, while ensuring it remains reflective of the Golden community and the Coors Family legacy,” said Dan Cohen, AC Development president.

“At a time when people are seeking connection and collaboration, Clayworks offers an exceptional place in a one-of-a-kind location, featuring unmatched amenities, striking architecture, beautiful outdoor spaces, cutting edge sustainability, and a unique collection of companies and people.”

Construction on the project’s first phase will start later this year.

Rendering CoorsTek, Colden, CO

Clayworks is a name inspired by the rich history of ceramics innovation and production on the site, which was purchased by the Coors Family in 1886 for use initially as a glass works to support their nearby growing brewery.

 In 1910, the property became home to a new porcelain company (later to become CoorsTek), which located here because of the area’s naturally occurring high quality clay deposits that produced first-rate ceramics.


“The name is deeply connected to our guiding principles of innovation and discovery, history and legacy, craft and quality,” continued Cohen.

 “And it represents the entrepreneurship, technological advancements, and global impact that have occurred and certainly will continue to originate on this site. At once illuminating the past while also shining a light on a very bright future.”

“Clayworks will give way to the next generation of innovation and creativity as the location of CoorsTek’s new global headquarters and as a space for leading edge companies and other groups who share our commitment to craft, sustainability, and community,” said Michael Coors, CoorsTek Co-CEO.



“It will be part of the next 100 years of our company’s history,
 while adding more compelling experiences to the already special quality of downtown Golden.”
