INTRODUCING GREEN PREFERRED
A new solution in the CRE market
Green Preferred is an assessment-based investment structured as a non-priming, cumulative, non-participating, non-convertible, redeemable form of preferred equity:
-
Eliminates priming problems of standard CPACE
-
Increases the total equity in the cap stack (e.g. 45% total equity - comprised of 20% common, 25% preferred)
-
Provides new senior lender controls and engineer-verified ESG data.
Tenors up to
30 Years
Low Fixed-Rate Financing
Unsecured
No Owner Guarantees
100% Funded at Closing
HOW IT WORKS
Historically, lenders underwrote standard CPACE as priming debt because its payments are normally maintained along with other property taxes during a workout. Conversely, payments to Green Preferred can be halted in case of cash shortfalls, like other forms of preferred equity. In addition, Green Preferred investment remains available to the project even in a technical debt default.
"We continue to support the CPACE market, but with Green Preferred we offer an additional product that aligns us with senior lenders and investors to better achieve portfolio and capital markets objectives. We are also delivering much needed capital for owners in today's tightening credit market"
- Joseph Lau, President of LordCap Green
WHAT IS PACE
A smarter way to build efficiently and save money
PACE financings are public-private partnerships designed to make environmentally friendly commercial property investments affordable, accessible, and near risk-free.
Whether you're building from the ground up or upgrading an existing structure, this allows you to safely invest in efficiency and sustainability, increasing your property value while saving you money!
FINANCING MADE EASY
Finance your commercial, industrial, and multifamily buildings' energy efficiency with low-cost investments and expert guidance.
Unlike typical loans, PACE investments are repaid through a fixed-rate tax assessment. The repayment obligation can be pre-paid or transferred automatically to the next owner if the property is sold.
This spreads the cost of clean energy improvements, enabling you to overcome the initial costs of investing in clean energy and start saving right away.
And thanks to LordCap Green's expertise and resources, we're there with you every step of the way, walking you through each stage and making it easier than ever to get started.
Get rewarded for your efficiency and save money with LordCap Green!
