DSel Properties acquires, develops, and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast — concentrated today in Connecticut, New York, and Long Island.
We are actively acquiring. The profile below reflects how we source — specific enough to be useful, narrow enough to close on. Centers that fit this criteria receive a prompt, direct response from a principal.
A diversified portfolio of retail and office assets held and operated directly by DSel, organized below by asset class. Each property is managed in-house with long-standing local vendor and leasing relationships.
The grocery-anchored cornerstone of the DSel portfolio — a ShopRite-anchored community center at 1995 NY State Route 52 and the dominant grocery destination for its Sullivan County trade area. The center reflects our core acquisition thesis with precision: necessity retail, long tenure, service-oriented co-tenancy.
A co-anchored community center at the signalized intersection of Carleton Avenue, one mile north of the Southern State Parkway. Built in 2006 with over 1,200 parking spaces, it is the dominant retail destination for its Long Island submarket.
Smaller single-asset retail holdings managed under the same operating discipline.
A 19,550 SF strip center positioned immediately adjacent to Whole Foods, with frontage on Westport Avenue and direct visibility from I-95.
A CVS-anchored center at the signalized intersection of Farmington Avenue and New Britain Avenue, minutes from I-84. Recently stabilized through the extension of the CVS anchor lease and a new long-term lease to NAPA Auto Parts for the balance of the center.
A 110,370-SF office building anchoring the corner of Elm and Orange Streets in downtown New Haven. Built in 1926 and renovated in the 1980s, the property is a civic and professional-services destination — home to Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s district office, Liberty Bank, and established Connecticut law firms. Yale University is steps away; Union Station and direct New York rail service are a short walk.
Suburban and secondary-market office assets in the Connecticut corridor.
A 36,000-SF boutique medical and office building at a high-visibility corner along Main Avenue, positioned directly across from the Merritt 7 Metro-North station with direct service to Grand Central Terminal.
A 24,948-SF multi-tenant suburban office building on Bloomfield Avenue, leased to a mix of medical, legal, and professional-services tenants. Walking distance to local restaurants, banking, and retail.
DSel’s investment focus is retail acquisition, but the firm has ground-up multifamily development experience. Our most recent completed project is Curio 269 — a luxury boutique apartment building in downtown New Haven, Connecticut.
A 102-unit luxury boutique apartment building co-developed with Spring Rock Development and delivered in August 2024 at 269 Orange Street in downtown New Haven — two blocks from Yale University and steps from historic Wooster Square. The project delivers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences alongside a full amenity program.
DSel Properties is led by its two principals — father and son — who together bring more than fifty years of combined experience in construction, operations, and commercial real estate.
Daniel graduated from Brandeis University in 2003 with a degree in Economics and Finance. He began his career at Plaza Construction Corporation in New York City, spending three years in the core and shell estimating department on high-rise commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments.
He then transitioned to the field as a project manager, overseeing the construction of a 475-unit luxury residential building in Battery Park City. In 2006, Daniel earned a Master’s degree in Real Estate Development from New York University.
In 2009, he left Plaza Construction to co-found DSel Properties, LLC with his father, Jerry Seligsohn.
Jerry spent over thirty-five years in the watch manufacturing industry, where he built and operated his own company. He produced and sold licensed watch brands including Kenneth Cole, Converse, Tommy Bahama, and Wrangler.
In 2000, Jerry sold the business to a Boston-based private equity firm. In 2009, he partnered with his son Daniel to launch DSel Properties, LLC, focusing on commercial real estate acquisitions.
