MIDLAND, TEXAS | THE PERMIAN BASIN | SEPTEMBER 12, 2026
ERP 1031, LLC (“ERP”), a real estate investment firm with a proven history of acquiring and operating net-lease industrial facilities that serve the energy industry, today announced the full subscription of its fourth Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”) offering, ERP 1031 Industrial Portfolio IV DST (“DST IV”). The offering raised $36.15 million in equity from accredited investors and brings ERP’s total transaction volume in the DST marketplace to approximately $227 million in debt and equity since the firm entered the space in 2022.
The closing of DST IV extends ERP’s disciplined strategy of assembling institutional-quality, net-lease industrial real estate in what the firm defines as Tier 1 logistical positions across the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific energy-producing regions in the world.
“When a tenant steps into one of our properties, we want them to feel like they’ve already won and that, whatever their future growth needs, they never have to leave the ERP portfolio,” said William A. Meyer II, Founder and President of ERP.
With DST IV, ERP’s combined industrial position in the Permian Basin now encompasses 77 industrial properties totaling more than 1.5 million square feet on 492 acres, with a building-to-land ratio of just 7%. “When 93% of a site is land, it’s very clear to an end user that they have room to grow,” Meyer added.
ERP’s DST platform is designed to give investors exposure to hard-asset, passive real estate ownership structures focused on cash-flowing, net-lease industrial properties that serve the oil and gas industry.
Market Context and Investment Rationale
The Permian Basin remains one of the most significant energy-producing regions on the planet, with output consistently ranking among the highest in the world. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the Permian is expected to produce more than 7.0 million barrels of oil per day in 2027.1 To put that in perspective: if the Permian Basin were a country, it would rank as the third-largest oil producer on earth, behind only Saudi Arabia and Russia. Spanning West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, the Permian’s success has propelled the United States to its position as the world’s leading oil producer.
ERP’s approach is built on local operational expertise, strategic site selection along major transportation and logistics corridors, and a sharp focus on properties that serve energy-related businesses. The successful closing of DST IV further strengthens ERP’s position as a strategic owner and operator of industrial real estate within the energy asset class.
