Traditional Loans Work Against Your Capital Stack

Funding energy efficiency and resiliency in commercial projects is a priority for owners, lenders, and communities. However, traditional loans make it hard. 

  • Out-of-pocket expenses make it cost-prohibitive, and savings aren't seen in the short-term

  • Debt is not transferable, leaving the owner responsible for the life of the loan

  • Alternative capital solutions are expensive and short-term, leading to higher payments

FUNDING EFFICIENCY WITH ASSESSMENT BACKED EQUITY

Innovative Solutions for Bank and Borrower Friendly Financing

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing helps building owners pay for building upgrades, including clean energy such as solar panels or energy-efficient windows, as well as water management and certain building resilience measures. Commercial properties such as offices, hotels, and industrial buildings usually qualify for C-PACE financing.

Our equity product, Green Financing, utilizes the best of the C-PACE infrastructure while responding to the needs of senior lenders and property owners with enhancements on the traditional product. Financing is available across the US for qualifying commercial property types.
