Feb 2025Undisclosed stageSculptor (lead)$254MTherme Group is a global developer, owner, and operator of large-scale wellbeing destinations that integrate thermal baths, mineral pools, saunas, botanical gardens, fitness spaces, and cultural programming to promote physical, mental, and social health in urban settings. The company operates flagship resorts including Therme Erding in Munich (acquired December 2024, the world's largest wellbeing destination), Therme Bucharest, and is developing Therme Manchester—a €500 million ($519 million), 28-acre project in Greater Manchester, UK, featuring extensive water experiences and wellness facilities. On February 26, 2025, Therme Group announced a strategic partnership with Sculptor Capital Management's real estate division for up to €245 million ($254 million) in growth investment, with an initial tranche deployed to support the Munich and Bucharest resorts and additional funds potentially allocated to complete Therme Manchester and other expansions, subject to conditions. Sculptor Real Estate led the transaction, advised by Alantra as exclusive financial advisor to Therme, alongside PwC, Slaughter and May, and Rödl & Partner. Therme Group's CFO Adrian Ion highlighted Sculptor's experience in real estate operations and the investment's validation of their track record, while Sculptor's John Clingan emphasized Therme's market-leading delivery of wellbeing infrastructure. This deal fully funds Therme Manchester and aligns with Therme's mission to make sustainable wellbeing accessible in urban centers. Concurrently, Therme formed a separate joint venture with The Georgetown Company, which acquired a 25% stake in its U.S. business to support entry into American markets including planned projects in Dubai, Frankfurt, Toronto, and U.S. cities, backing over $1.5 billion in total committed developments. The Sculptor investment underscores Therme's expansion from continental Europe into the UK and beyond, positioning it as the world's largest operator of wellbeing infrastructure.
