$150 Million in C-PACE Financing Identified to Fund Completion of Regent Bank Amphitheater and Sunset Amphitheater at McKinney

Key Terms

c-pace financial

A C‑PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) program is a way for commercial property owners to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, or resiliency upgrades through a long‑term assessment added to the property tax bill. Think of it like a mortgage specifically for building upgrades that stays with the property and is repaid via tax installments. Investors care because C‑PACE liens affect a building’s cash flow, create a senior repayment obligation on the property, and can change credit and resale dynamics tied to long‑term cost savings and project risk.

commercial property assessed clean energy financial

A commercial property assessed clean energy (C-PACE) program is a way for building owners to get long-term financing for energy-efficiency, renewable energy, or resilience upgrades, with repayments added to the property tax bill as a special assessment. Think of it like a home improvement loan tied to the building instead of the owner: the debt is repaid over many years through the property tax system, creates a lien on the property, and therefore matters to investors, lenders, and buyers because it affects cash flows, priority of claims, and transferability when ownership changes.

public-private partnerships financial

Public-private partnerships are collaborative agreements between government entities and private companies to jointly fund, build, or operate projects that serve the public interest, such as infrastructure, transportation, or healthcare facilities. These arrangements allow both sectors to share resources, risks, and benefits, often leading to more efficient or innovative solutions. For investors, such partnerships can create opportunities in stable, long-term projects with potential for consistent returns.

structured financing solutions financial

Structured financing solutions are customized packages of loans, securities, and contractual arrangements designed to meet specific funding needs and allocate risk among parties. They pool and reshape cash flows—like slicing a loaf into pieces that offer different sizes and flavors—so different investors receive distinct risk and return profiles. Investors care because these structures influence credit risk, cash-flow timing, liquidity, and how financing appears on a company's balance sheet.

Non-dilutive financing arranged by CBRE is anticipated to close in the coming weeks, subject to customary closing conditions.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE AMERICAN: VENU), owner, operator, and developer of premium live entertainment destinations, today announced that CBRE Group Inc. (NYSE: CBRE), retained by the Company to secure Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy ("C-PACE") financing, has identified more than $150 million in gross proceeds for VENU^®.

VENU's Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney, Texas

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.
