On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Drew Dolan, fund manager at DXD Capital, a self-storage-focused CRE firm based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Drew shares how his background in engineering and technical sales led to a pivot into development, and why he now prefers building over buying due to the greater margin for error and control over entitlements. He breaks down DXD’s national development strategy, current projects in 20 states, and why fully entitled land is one of the most overlooked opportunities. Drew also shares insights on supply chain risks, market elasticity in self-storage, and how rising rates and housing stagnation impact demand.
