The Opportunity
The Venue
Titanic-Sur-Mer is a live music riverside venue frequently hosting Jazz jam sessions and local performers, it offers a deeply sophisticated stage, legendary Lisbon sunsets and live music nights. One of the most storied locations in the city. My personal favorite venue in Lisbon.
20+ years concession with low rent, 500 pax capacity, indoors & outdoors. 24h operating license, 120db sound authorisation, an almost private pier on the Tagus. In the heart of Cais de Sodre, the busiest and most accessible area of Lisbon (all existing public transports are steps away)
The Deal Structure
Acquiring the Titanic-Sur- Mer OP company via share transfer. Sellers are tired and all in agreement for a sale, the venue isn't being cared of anymore, one of the sellers Tiago Baptista reached out to me personally to help make this staple location great again.
Off-market deal, discretion required until closing targeted last week of August.
We take over the existing entity with its licenses, concession lease, audio/video equipments, databases and brand (IG). Keys in hand, operational in couple weeks. The window is this summer — and it won't stay open.
