DMC Investments
DMC Investments operates as the single-family office for the Chalem family. The firm was built around commercial real estate activities that began in North Hollywood and expanded across multiple states. Public records show ownership of residential and commercial parcels in California, Arizona, Tennessee and Florida. Investment activity centers on direct acquisitions of multi-family apartments, retail centers and single-tenant NNN properties. The firm also syndicates select assets to outside investors while retaining management. Recent closed transactions include a 15-unit building in Sherman Oaks and a retail center in Phoenix. Geographic reach remains limited to North America with the majority of holdings in California. Team size and total deployment figures are not publicly stated. Adjacent vehicles or philanthropic structures beyond a UNICEF reference are not disclosed. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The firm’s structure ties investment decisions directly to the principals who also run the brokerage and property-management functions, eliminating separation between sponsor and asset owner.
