Investment Highlights
- Triple-net (NNN) lease structure — tenant pays base rent, property tax, and insurance, isolating the RE entity from day-to-day operating risk
- Long-term contracted income with 3.0% annual escalations over a 10-year primary term
- Ground-up construction delivers the building to vanilla shell condition at known, fixed cost with a ~10% contingency; no deferred maintenance, no environmental exposure, no lease rollover risk at acquisition
- Experienced operator with significant personal equity at risk in the tenant entity
- TI loan ($200,000 at 7.5%) funds the tenant's business-specific fit-out, earns interest income for the RE entity, and is senior to all tenant equity
- Multiple exit paths at maturity: disposition at a market cap rate, refinance, or lease renewal
The Opportunity
A ground-up entertainment venue purpose-built for a single experienced operator. The tenant will operate a full-service restaurant and bar alongside a curated arcade floor, virtual golf simulator, and private event lounges — a diversified, experience-driven business model designed to generate durable, recurring revenue across multiple categories.
Architectural renderings and floor plans will be inserted here. Final drawings will include a dimensioned floor plan, exterior elevations, and 3-D renderings of the dining, arcade, and event spaces.
Market & Location
The regional eatertainment landscape is concentrated in Madison and Milwaukee — both 22+ miles from Ozaukee County. The nearest concepts include Garcade (Menomonee Falls, 14 mi; unlimited-play arcade, 30+ pinball), Up-Down (Milwaukee Brady St, 22 mi; 21+ arcade bar), and DoubleTap Beercade (Madison, ~75 mi; pizza + arcade bar). The Mineshaft in Hartford (family-oriented, heavy ticket-play, card-based) is the closest geographically but targets a different demographic and price point. No competitor combines full-service dining, a craft bar, curated adult arcade, golf simulator, and private event space within Ozaukee County — this concept fills a clear gap in the market.
- Historic downtown Cedarburg draws visitors from across the Milwaukee metro — 200+ historically significant buildings, festival calendar, and strong destination dining culture
- No eatertainment competitor in Ozaukee County; nearest comparable venue is 14+ miles away — unserved demand within the trade area
- Affluent, educated household base ($126,045 avg. HHI) with high discretionary spending capacity and strong repeat-visit potential
- Prime entertainment age cohorts are well-represented: 22.9% ages 25–44 and 24.6% ages 45–64 — the groups most likely to spend on dining + entertainment experiences
- Ozaukee County tourism economic impact growing at 4.2% annually; seasonal event traffic creates predictable high-volume weekends
- Multi-revenue model (dining, bar, arcade, golf simulator, private events) diversifies across multiple consumer occasions — date night, family outing, corporate team-building, birthday events, and competitive leagues
