C-PACE can be used to fund necessary renovations on aging properties or full adaptive reuse projects.

Unlocks Capital for Building Upgrades
C-PACE provides upfront financing for energy efficiency, water conservation, and resiliency improvements — ideal for repositioning older assets or adapting buildings for new uses.

Preserves Equity and Reduces Need for Costly Capital
With long-term, fixed-rate financing, C-PACE reduces reliance on high-cost mezzanine debt or preferred equity, helping sponsors preserve ownership and improve project IRR.

Improves Building Performance and Value
HVAC, insulation, windows, lighting, and other financed upgrades can improve building efficiency, strengthen tenant comfort, increase operating savings, and raise overall asset value.

Provides Flexible Funding During Project Lifecycle
C-PACE can fund alongside other capital sources or be introduced mid-renovation to supplement budget gaps, offering flexibility in complex project timelines.

Transferable and Non-Recourse
The C-PACE assessment stays with the property, not the owner, making it an ideal long-term solution that doesn’t restrict future sale or recapitalization options.
