Economics

One of the largest private soccer-facility capital deployments in the region. Creates a defended moat around Lexington-market soccer (no plausible greenfield entry can replicate this capex).

Investment Thesis

Benchmark facility for the integrated pro+youth+facility model SYNRGY could pursue at scale. Comparable transaction reference for valuing facility-inclusive acquisitions.
