- Opportunity to combine energy efficient improvements with C-PACE financing for enhanced returns
Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) has become a valuable tool for owners and developers. The program enables up to 100% long-term, fixed-rate financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy, resiliency, water use and electric car charging building improvements on existing buildings or new construction. Private capital funding is secured by a special assessment lien on the property and is repaid as a line item on the property tax bill. In addition, if allowed by leases, the C-PACE assessment can be passed through to tenants and transfers upon sale to the next property owner. With the enormous redevelopment potential at the Property, C-PACE will be an invaluable part of enhancing returns and sustainability.
