MeSA Soccer Complex

Overview

Economics

County-owned facility reduces capital burden on tenant clubs. CESA’s anchor tenancy likely involves a lease or management agreement — terms not publicly disclosed. Named field sponsorships (Hartness, Resurgent Capital, Monster Energy, Hughes Investment) suggest corporate sponsorship revenue.

Condition & Lifecycle

Active tournament and training venue. 5 turf fields will require periodic replacement ($500K-$1M per field cycle).

Investment Thesis

Critical facility in any CESA acquisition. A CESA deal would need to include assignment or continuation of the MeSA lease/management agreement. The county ownership limits upside from facility appreciation but reduces capital requirements. The 19-field complex is South Carolina’s best soccer venue and a competitive advantage.
