The Firm
Insight from Experience. VS team's experience extends beyond bricks and mortar to the conception, marketing, and production of major sports and entertainment events at all levels: from rock concerts, family shows and professional sports team operations, to large-scale recreation events, tourism conferences, and trade shows. Moreover, we understand how these activities integrate across other commercial activities (i.e. specialty retail, residential, hotel, co-working, educational/experiential, and healthcare) to create successful mixed-use destinations.
Nuanced Understanding. Our expertise goes far beyond the conceptual: it is tempered with a deep understanding that can only come from knowing first hand, as analysts, developers, operators, marketers, and event managers, how destination-based developments-and the events that take place within them-actually work. Beyond that, VS possesses both a balanced and nuanced appreciation for how such projects should be optimized to become economic drivers in the communities they inhabit, while also paying close attention to community values and goals for sustainable growth. In sum, we bring a skill and experience set uniquely qualified to define strategies for their planning, design, financing, and operation that are based squarely on success.

Effective Representation. Where desired by its clients, Venue Strategies will act as their owner's representative through the entire planning, design, and construction process, helping to define the facility program, select design team members, structure financing, negotiate third party documentation, and otherwise oversee the project from inception to stabilization of operations to full-time facility management. In this regard, we play a central role in identifying specific ownership, financial, and management alternatives that minimize risk, optimize operational outcomes, and achieve sponsor goals.
Trusted Partners. In our work we routinely report to and work along side with C-suite executives, senior administrators and boards of directors, government agencies and city councils, community groups and entrepreneurs. For projects featuring public-private initiatives, VS is fully prepared to serve as project manager and/or developer of record to undertake the private development and operation of destination-based projects, especially those targeted for underserved suburban, secondary, and smaller markets.
