Non-underwritten optionality:

Pro forma NOI reflects optimized hospitality and event operations only. Any gaming, casino, or specialized entertainment use is not included in underwriting and would be subject to separate feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, and capital investment.

LISTING REPOSITIONING — RARE OPPORTUNITY YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS.

26 Commerce Plaza Drive is being offered under an unpriced, submit-your-best-offer strategy following a material shift in demand and buyer interest. Early pricing discussions were based solely on the value of the existing business and building prior to recent regional and regulatory developments.

Since that time, interest in the asset has skyrocketed, with multiple offers already in hand. Given the rapid expansion of the buyer pool and the range of potential use cases now being evaluated, the seller believes open market discovery best reflects the property’s current and future value.

Whether your vision includes a casino-adjacent entertainment concept, dispensary, destination steakhouse, large-scale event hall, boutique hotel, or hybrid hospitality platform, this property offers the infrastructure and positioning to support it.

Recent end-of-year federal recognition developments involving the Lumbee Tribe have materially changed the long-term economic narrative of the region. While any gaming, casino, or specialized use would require separate regulatory approvals, these developments have immediately increased investor and developer interest in strategically located, entertainment-ready assets such as this one.

The Property:

Discover a one-of-a-kind commercial venue located at 26 Commerce Plaza Drive in Pembroke, North Carolina—an architectural standout originally built as a fine dining restaurant and later transformed into a highly sought-after event space. Situated on 2.24 meticulously developed acres, this 12,410-square-foot steel-framed structure was designed by a civil engineer with durability, efficiency, and expansion in mind. Every element—from the dual commercial kitchens and custom indoor waterfall, to the reinforced flood-resistant foundation and solar-ready roof—was built with intention.

The property is equipped with two full kitchens, a bar, a private electrical room for simplified maintenance, double insulation, and a water-based passive cooling system, all contributing to exceptionally low operating costs. With 30+ weddings booked annually solely through referrals and no paid marketing, the venue currently operates at approximately 10% of its true potential, creating immediate upside through pricing optimization, expanded programming, and additional event volume.

Utilities remain efficient year-round, and the infrastructure allows for seamless expansion—whether through boutique lodging, a wellness or retreat concept, or an elevated destination hospitality use. The property benefits from a strategic location just 10 minutes from I-95, 5 minutes from UNC Pembroke, and under an hour from Fort Liberty, drawing regional demand from education, military, healthcare, and surrounding counties. The combination of natural elegance, lakefront serenity, and accessibility positions this asset as a true destination.

For investors, the appeal is clear: in-place cash flow today with significant long-term optionality. Seller financing is available, and the seller is offering extensive transition support, including operational guidance and assistance with existing bookings. For the first time since it was built, this extraordinary property is being offered to the market. The seller—an engineer who poured years of craftsmanship into the space—is ready to pass the torch to the next visionary who can unlock its full potential and carry the legacy forward.

You won’t want to miss this lucrative opportunity. Seller financing available.
