C-PACE proceeds are expected to fully fund the balance of construction for Regent Bank Amphitheater in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, expected to open in fall 2026, and Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney, Texas, expected to open in the first quarter of 2027. C-PACE is long-term, fixed-rate financing secured through a property tax assessment tied to qualifying building improvements, providing VENU with institutional-scale capital without issuing equity.

"This is the value of building free and clear," said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU. "Because our buildings and properties are owned, not leveraged, institutional capital wants a stake in what we're building. At the end of the day, our ownership model is the secret sauce: it's what keeps our properties unencumbered and gives us the opportunity to seek creative ways to fund our growth. This is an extraordinary moment for us and something we have been working towards from day one!"

VENU is represented by Jeff Black with CBRE Capital Markets' Debt & Structured Finance.

A Unique Financing Strategy

VENU's multi-pronged financing strategy is already proving its strength. The model combines pre-sales of its signature ownership programs, Luxe FireSuites® and Aikman Clubs, with robust public-private partnerships that fuel municipal economic growth, and structured financing solutions, powering the build-out of VENU's national portfolio of premium amphitheaters and live entertainment destinations poised to redefine the industry.
