After Graduating with dual degrees in Business Honors and Finance, Denison completed an analyst program in equity research for Credit Suisse First Boston.
Denison started his entrepreneurial adventure in 1997 founding Denison Development & Construction (DDC). Having always had a passion for design, innovation and creativity, his first foray into development was working with 5 award winning architects to create a one-of-a-kind cluster of custom homes. Soon after, Denison expanded DDC into affordable and modular housing becoming a borrower, developer and contractor for the City of Austin Housing Finance Corporation. Combining affordable housing finance, heightened architecture and design, and helping those less fortunate were a perfect combination that led Denison to expand into affordable multifamily housing. Today and through many affiliated entities, Denison has built, developed, owns and operates a portfolio of over 1,500 mixed
income, federally funded multifamily properties serving both seniors and families in Austin and surrounding areas.
Leveraging upon his successful venture into luxury senior living where his operating team provided the highest level of food and beverage, concierge services, Tesla private car service, health and wellness programs as well as a broad array of curated activities for our captive audience, Denison founded Den Haus Collective – an architectural marvel that embodies his core philosophy of creating beautiful, accessible spaces that uplift communities. This carefully curated universe brings together avant-garde design, resident artists, and curated dining to create an atmosphere that’s both elevated and effortlessly cool. Den Haus is a testament to bartistic spirit where sophistication meets the unexpected, and a showcase of Denison’s ability to transform visionary ideas into tangible realities.
Realizing that affordable housing restricts revenue growth, he hedged his largest expense exposure by building large solar power plants to power his buildings. At the time, DDC Solar built the largest carport mounted solar array in Texas. Denison founded Denison Oil & Gas in 2012 and began buying mineral and non-operated working interests in the largest energy plays in America including the Permian, Eagleford and the Bakken. Utilizing his expanded knowledge from each of these new ventures, Denison expanded his central Texas real estate portfolio into the Midland/Odessa region where he now owns and operates over 600 housing units
Data centers are an interesting intersection of real estate development, energy production and technology. Denison’s contacts and holdings in the Midland/Odessa area caused him to recognize a unique opportunity to secure a massive amount of wholesale refined natural gas from which to power Denison Power & Data’s (DPD) first data center. DPD combines Denison’s expertise in real estate, finance, contracting, and energy.
