Founding Partner
A public-private partnership (P3) is an agreement between a private sector company and a government entity to develop a structure (sports and recreation venues, medical facilities, or mixed-use developments, etc.) that will be used by local residents. For many of the 20+ venues in the SFM Network and others served by the SF Companies, public-private partnerships are a keystone to project financing or successful operations. At SFA, we identify, prospect, engage, and negotiate P3’s on behalf of Funding Support Services clients to help take their project from Concept to Concrete.
For sports facility developments, P3 structures often consist of partners contributing land, capital, incremental tax revenues, commercial leases and the attraction of new developments such as hotels, restaurants, retail shops, and medical facilities. Private sector partners may be involved in the land transaction, financing and development, or lease up and management of the new asset.
Sports Facilities Advisory has been a leader in sports venue development and financing for nearly two decades. As the only strategic partner to the International City Managers Association (ICMA) in the sport or recreation markets, SFA is a trusted advisor and resource to both private and public sector partners. Since our founding in 2003, we have planned over $10 billion in projects in over 2,000 communities throughout the United States.
