Meet Our Team

Dustin Johnson
Dustin Johnson is the founder and president of Long View Equity and is responsible for the overall strategy and leadership of the company.
Dustin began in the investment industry as a principal investing in “value-add” and “opportunistic” commercial real estate through a family limited partnership created in 2005. In 2010, he launched Fund I, an open-ended income fund focused on commercial real estate investments in healthcare, industrial or retail. The fund ultimately raised $6 MM in equity from 15 limited partners and distributed back over $10.2 MM, earning a 21.5% IRR (net) over its approx. six-year life. Building on this initial success, in 2011 Dustin launched Fund II focusing on “core plus” and “value-add” assets, and ultimately raised $15 MM in equity from 56 limited partners. Through Q2 2019 the fund has returned $15 MM to investors and is projected to earn a 15.0% IRR (net). Fund III, continuing the strategy of Fund II, launched in 2014 and raised approx. $45 MM from 85 limited partners. Through Q2 2019 Fund III has distributed over $20 MM to investors. Collectively, Dustin has either acquired or developed over $200 MM in commercial real estate through more than 50 investments in seven major markets, greater than half of which have been realized.
In 2017 Dustin launched the company’s first social impact fund. The fund is a for-profit investment vehicle seeking charitable purposes through deploying growth capital to entrepreneurs and NGOs in emerging and frontier markets primarily in the Middle East, Anglophone Africa, and parts of Asia. The fund is “patient capital” and in its early stages.
Prior to Long View Equity, Dustin served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan where he was an instructor in the department of economics at Bishkek Humanitarian University. Dustin graduated with honors from the University of Texas at Austin where he studied economics and mathematics. Dustin and his wife, Amy, have three boys.

Land was acquired, entitled, and property constructed to the tenant’s specifications, a sale was consummated two years after completion. The hospital system opened on time in a state-of-the-art facility, and both the physician group and the company achieved outstanding investment returns.

Sojourn
A value-add acquisition of a multi-tenant office campus in the north Dallas area
This property is a >90,000 SF single story class B office campus located on 8 acres in Addison, Texas. This acquisition allows LVE the opportunity to enter into the highly desirable Addison market which has become a strong office location within the DFW Metroplex due to its central location, access to the Dallas North Tollway, and close proximity to amenities. This asset has a stable current tenant line-up and the opportunity to increase operating cash flow through the lease up of the remaining vacancy. Sojourn Office Center was purchased below replacement cost limiting the competition from new supply in this market and allowing this asset to appreciate in value as the DFW Metroplex continues to attract office tenants.

GE Transportation Building
Co-GP on the acquisition of a single-tenant, long-term net leased office building from a Tenant-in-Common (TIC)
The challenge was the financial engineering and legal complexity required to get to a purchase price acceptable to the TIC seller while meeting company return thresholds. A team effort sourced institutional limited partner capital that served as equity but was structured for all intents and purposes as debt together with a CMBS interest only loan. The result is projected superior risk-adjusted investment returns for the company on an anticipated long-term hold (> 8 years)

A value-add acquisition of a >300,000 SF single-tenant, older manufacturing facility in a tertiary market
The challenge is leasing a large manufacturing property to multiple companies for storage or light assembly work in a market that is not expanding. The company subdivided the property into smaller units, demising the spaces in a flexible manner as needed, and then aggressively marketed the available space to local manufacturers. As a result, the company increased income 40%, held the investment for three years and then negotiated the sale at a very advantageous valuation.
