Cory Sylvester built the leading Storage Development team in the most challenging environment
I sit down with Cory Sylvester, Principal at DXD Capital, for a masterclass in data-driven development and intentional leadership. Cory’s path to becoming one of the most respected names in self-storage didn't start with real estate; it started at JP Morgan. After identifying a massive lack of institutional-grade data in the storage sector, Cory co-founded Radius+ and eventually DXD Capital, a firm currently managing 25 active developments. We discuss his transition from the "bureaucratic construct" of big banks to the high-friction world of entrepreneurship, ultra-marathons, and volunteer firefighting. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The "Victor" Mindset: Why Cory would rather fail a hundred times than be stifled by corporate red tape. Leading by Listening: The importance of checking your ego and creating a culture where employees feel safe enough to truly disconnect. The Friction Factor: Why Cory packs his schedule with ultra-marathons (like the Tahoe 200) and firefighting to build the mental toughness required for business. 2026 Industry Forecast: Why the decline in new construction and the resilience of younger storage users are creating the "perfect setup" for the next several years. Manage Space: A sneak peek into Cory's newest venture into property management software. If you want to hear from a leader who values "right vs. wrong" over "yelling and jerks," and who uses deep-dive analytics to outmaneuver the market, this conversation is essential for your 2026 strategy.
