Groundbreaking Development: DXD Capital in Huntington Station, NY
Forty miles from Manhattan but feeling a million miles away is the Long Island hamlet Huntington Station. With positive population and household income growth, it was the perfect location for DXD Capital to break ground. In October 2024, the firm opened a new self-storage facility, managed by Extra Space Storage, at 403 Oakwood Road.
This 84,416-square-foot building comprises four levels, including the basement, and features 641 climate-controlled units, doors and hallways by Wayne Dalton, and 24/7 monitoring by Security Central (installation by Access Control Technologies).
Designed by Perry M Petrillo Architects and built by Park East Construction, the build took just one year, using 10-foot-high brick, insulated metal panels, cold-formed steel framing, and high-performance TPO roofing.
However, it did take over two years to entitle the location. A large building that had occupied the spot had to be demolished, and asbestos abatement followed. Plus, with the property being adjacent to the Long Island Railroad, maintaining necessary clearance took careful planning, resulting in a dramatic angular design that gives the rear of the building a dynamic, modernist look.
Next up is a vertical pivot gate for extra security, set to be installed by the end of the year.
