DXD CAPITAL BREAKS GROUND ON NEW 45,813 SF SELF STORAGE FACILITY IN KIHEI, MAUI, HAWAII

New Class A storage facility in Kihei, Hi will have 355 individual storage units totaling 45,813 net rentable square feet in the Maui Research & Technology Park 


KIHEI, HI—DXD Capital, a private equity investor and self storage developer, announced the groundbreaking of a new Class A storage facility in Kihei, HI.

Once constructed, the facility will have 355 individual storage units totaling 45,813 net rentable square feet located in the Maui Research & Technology Park in Kihei. It will feature drive-up, non-climate-controlled units designed to be especially helpful to the commercial customer base on Maui. The facility is expected to open in the second quarter of 2025.

DREW DOLAN

RYCON will serve as the general contractor, and American Savings Bank will be the construction lender. Extra Space will manage this facility.

The property was acquired in April 2023. To date, DXD has invested in nineteen self-storage developments and one seven-facility portfolio acquisition across the United States.

"DXD was offered the chance to construct self storage facilities on Maui through a local connection,” said Drew Dolan, Principal and Fund Manager. “For me, this opportunity represents a career highlight—a chance to be part of the booming Maui Research and Tech Park, which has excellent fundamentals for self storage and extreme barriers to entry.”

DXD Capital

DXD Capital is a data-driven real estate private equity company focused solely on the self storage sector. DXD utilizes access to proprietary tools to source compelling investments for its investors.

JLL Capital Markets facilitates the sale of Falcon Ridge Town Center, a 273,425 SF grocery and drugstore anchored regional property in Fontana, CA

 

Tess Berghoff.

LOS ANGELES, CA –JLL Capital Markets has arranged the sale of Falcon Ridge Town Center, a grocery- and drug-anchored center located in the high-growth market of Fontana, California. This marks the largest retail transaction in the Inland Empire, year-to-date. The price was not disclosed.


Bryan Ley
JLL worked on behalf of the seller to facilitate the transaction with the buyer, MCB Real Estate and a fund managed by DRA Advisors.

 

JLL Capital Market’s Investment and Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Directors Bryan Ley, Gleb Lvovich and Geoff Tranchina, Senior Directors Tim Kuruzar and Daniel Tyner and Director Tess Berghoff.


“The sale of Falcon Ridge Town Center further demonstrates the demand for high quality, daily-needs anchored centers in high growth areas of Southern California,” said Ley. “The asset is positioned to continue its dominance with the growing residential being added to the area, strong household incomes, and its growing lineup of national, credit retailers.”


 

Gleb Lvovich 

Falcon Ridge Town Center, located at 15218-15320 Summit Ave., enjoys a prime position at the exit ramp of the bustling I-15 freeway. 


With a daily traffic volume of 148,800 vehicles, the center benefits from exceptional visibility and exposure. 


Additionally, the center benefits from its proximity to major trade routes such as the I-10, SR-210 and Union Pacific Railroad, ensuring easy accessibility and visibility for the nearby 291 acres of residential area and significant employment hubs.

 

The city of Fontana, directly east of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, is part of the Inland Empire, which covers 27,000 square miles and has a population of approximately 4.6 million people. 


Geoff Tranchina
The Inland Empire continues to attract a diverse and burgeoning population, particularly among the younger demographic. 


More affordable than the metropolitan Los Angeles area, the Inland Empire’s economy thrives on construction, trade and the rapid growth of warehouses, distribution centers and fulfillment centers. Furthermore, sectors such as healthcare, education and transportation also contribute to the region's prosperity.

 



The internet-resistant center of Falcon Ridge Town Center was originally built in 2005 and was renovated in 2023. Located on 21.85 acres, the retail hub offers 273,425 square feet of gross leasable area and an impressive 1,568 parking spaces. Currently 91.6% occupied, the center is anchored by key tenants like Target (NAP), Stater Bros, CVS Pharmacy, Ulta, Ross, Old Navy, Michaels and 24 Hour Fitness, catering to the diverse needs of customers.
