Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Closing the underperforming food and beverage operations at the Tin Building by Jean-Georges and transitioning the space to a high-traffic, experiential art destination by leasing it to Lux Entertainment for the Balloon Museum U.S. flagship.
Expected impact: Improves near-term cash flow and operating EBITDA by eliminating high-cost food and beverage operations and replacing them with a stable, five-year lease structure.
Actively leasing and programming vacant real estate assets within the Seaport district to category-defining entertainment, culture, and dining partners.
Expected impact: Aims to increase occupancy from 55% (as of late 2025) toward the 90% leased/programmed level, driving foot traffic and boosting overall district asset productivity.
Shedding high-interest, variable-rate debt and improving cash burn through strategic asset divestitures.
Expected impact: Eliminated $61.3 million of variable-rate debt (weighted average effective interest rate of 8.8%) and generated $76.1 million in net proceeds, reducing annual cash burn by approximately $7.0 million.
