Urban Air Adventure Park Franchise Costs: Estimated Initial Investment (Item 7, 2022 FDD)

2.0 Park

  • The figures shown below are based on a single 2.0 Park that is 30,000 to 40,000 square feet or a single 2.5 Park that is 45,000 to 55,000 square feet.

1.  Initial Franchise Fee:  $75,000 to $100,000

2.  Security Deposits for Commercial Lease:  $20,000 to $60,000

  • Based on Urban Air’s experience developing Adventure Parks, the security deposit for the Adventure Park premises is equal to one month’s base rent. The security deposit estimate is based on development of a 2.0 Park that is 30,000 to 40,000 square feet.
  • These estimates assume that you will not be required to commence making monthly base rent payments until your Adventure Park opens for business to the public.

3.  Other Security Deposits:  $2,500 to $10,000

4.  Business License/Government Approval:  $300 to $1,500

  • This cost will vary greatly depending on the legal jurisdiction in which your facility is located. Expenses typically incurred include, but are not limited to, filing fees for the organization of your business entity, building permits, certificates of occupancy, regulatory compliance, and food handler’s permits and required training.
  • If your facility is not zoned for the appropriate use, you will need to rezone the facility in order to operate an Urban Air Adventure Park. Typical fees incurred to rezone your facility include the cost for legal fees, filing fees, engineering fees, traffic and parking studies, and third-party consultants. These fees vary greatly.
  • This figure does not include the costs of obtaining a liquor license. Urban Air is unable to estimate the cost of your liquor license because of wide variations in costs depending on factors like location, the availability of liquor licenses, the ability to move a license, and the market value of liquor licenses.

5.  Leasehold Improvements:  $1,350,000 to $2,387,500

  • The estimate for a 2.0 Park is based on a $33 per square foot cost for leasehold improvements and assumes a 30,000 to 40,000 square foot facility.
  • The high side of the range includes an interior, 2nd floor mezzanine level inside the Adventure Park, which costs approximately $240,000.
  • Leasehold improvement costs vary depending on whether a landlord provides an improvement allowance (i.e., tenant improvement allowance or “TI”). Your costs may vary depending upon your ability to negotiate a TI with the landlord for your Adventure Park premises.
  • These costs include the cost of constructing the café but not the equipment needed for the café.
  • In some cases, you may be requested to install noise attenuation devices or make modifications due to seismic zones.

6.  Audio-Visual (Equipment and Installation):  $125,000 to $175,000

  • The estimate includes the specialty lighting, audio (such as speakers, amps, volume control, and microphones), security system (such as video recorder, cameras, hard drive, and monitor), data (such as router, switches, WAP, and cabling), and racks for hardware.

7.  Architectural Plans:  $70,000 to $89,000

  • This fee represents the estimated base fee of architectural fees to design the interior of an existing facility between 30,000 to 40,000 square feet. The base fee for architectural plans prepared by Urban Air’s preferred architect is $1.55 per square foot and includes the site survey and coordination of the virtual reality and spin zone with the manufacturer.

8.  Café Equipment and Café Furniture:  $120,000 to $150,000
