A proposal to monetize underutilized campus hours while establishing First Miami as the cultural anchor of District 2.
First Miami Presbyterian possesses two distinct assets: a prime real estate location in a high-density district, and a mission to serve the city. Currently, both assets are under-leveraged on weeknights.
The Market Gap: Brickell residents have disposable income but limited local cultural options. They are currently exporting their nightlife dollars to Miami Beach or Wynwood.
The Solution: "Brickell Nights" captures this local demand by transforming the Sanctuary into a mid-week performing arts venue. This creates a sustainable revenue stream for the church while bringing thousands of young professionals onto the campus.
We launch with a 6-week run of Yasmina Reza’s Tony-Award winning comedy. This selection is strategic:
We propose a "Risk-Free Revenue Share" structure. This ensures the Church generates income from the very first ticket sold, without exposure to production costs.
| Metric | Brickell Nights (Producer) | First Miami (Partner) |
|---|---|---|
| Capital Investment | 100% (Production, Marketing, Liability) | 0% (Venue Access Only) |
| Asset Protection | Full Insurance + Security Staffing | -- |
| Financial Upside | 80% of Net | 20% of Gross Revenue |
*At conservative projections, this partnership generates roughly $1,200 per Wednesday night for the Church—monetizing a space that currently generates $0 mid-week.
This partnership delivers on two critical fronts:
1. The Mission ROI: We lower the barrier to entry. 1,200 people who would never attend a Sunday service will walk through your doors, experience your hospitality, and build a positive association with First Miami.
2. The Financial ROI: We create a new, passive revenue stream that contributes to the preservation and maintenance of the historic campus, funded entirely by ticket sales from the neighborhood.
