Equity Purchase of Resort Property – Complex Financial Structure Acquisition

A world-class resort was ready to seek investment capital to fund expansion of its conference facilities. Barbar & Associates suggested an innovative equity purchase structure might be an attractive option to a high-profile business entrepreneur. In just three weeks, Barbar & Associates had assisted the entrepreneur with a property and financial evaluation and the resort accepted his letter of intent.

THE RESULT: Over the next five years the entrepreneur’s operational changes and new conference space drove a dramatic business increase for the resort enabling him to sell the property at double the acquisition price.

Major League Stadium – Market Analysis, Site Selection, Construction Funding

With a lease expiring on the existing stadium, a challenging schedule drove the selection and funding of a new site to construct a 1.5 million square foot, 75,000 seat facility. Barbar & Associates was initially retained to analyze market research on current and future season ticket holder demographics, site accessibility and roadway infrastructure to identify and rank options for development.

THE RESULT: Following acceptance of the recommendations, Barbar & Associates
was requested to develop the financing package, assist in the application for industrial revenue bonds, and to complete the purchase of the new site.

Complete Renovation of Not-for-Profit Facility

A not-for-profit organization needed to renovate its existing structure to upgrade an outdated floor plan for improved accessibility and design efficiency. Barbar & Associates worked with the designated architecture and construction firms to successfully coordinate the $10 million renovation project.

THE RESULT: The 50-year-old building became a state-of-the art showcase featuring an advanced technology stage, escalators, elevators, and a separate dining and kitchen area to support large events.

Localized Resort Operations – Investment Sale

An offshore resort was privately owned by a US-based client of Barbar & Associates. The client had a successful background in the travel industry and the resort was situated in a popular destination city for international travel. Two missing elements — local management and knowledge of resort operations, were undermining its full potential. Barbar & Associates identified in-country managers with resort operations background and approached the government about purchasing and taking over the venture.

THE RESULT: The government acquired the property from the U.S. investor, brought
in local executives to successfully operate the facility as strategic tourism asset and later sold it at a significant profit.
