Friend's deal is to be a programmatic capital provider to the leading player in the indoor shooting sports industry. In doing so, we are building a vertically integrated shooting sports infrastructure platform focused on designing, developing, and selectively owning / co-owning and operating modern indoor ranges across the U.S.
The thesis is simple: the category remains highly fragmented, under-institutionalized and capital constrained despite strong underlying demand, recurring membership economics and attractive real estate yields. We target development economics of ~8.25%+ unlevered stabilized cap rates while also participating in site-level operating cash flow through structured JV partnerships.
The model combines:
- asset-backed real estate ownership
- operating participation
- capital recycling via refinancing
- recurring cash flow
- and long-term portfolio compounding
Initial pipeline includes four identified development opportunities, with a broader roadmap toward a scaled multi-site platform over the coming years.
Currently raising initial capital and looking to connect with:
- family offices
- real estate investors
- operating partners
- development partners
- and investors interested in experiential infrastructure and alternative real estate platforms.
