Bankers/Lenders

Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing is a legislated public/private partnership fills a gap in the capital stack of commercial owners and developers. A construction budget can use our private capital funding for costs which impact energy & water spend, renewable improvements or seismic strengthening (specific guidelines vary by state and municipality). The repayment of our capital is made through a long-term special tax assessment on the property. Our How C-PACE Works page has more details.

PACE Equity provides C-PACE financing with private capital from our own direct fund. We believe in transparency, quality control and thorough underwriting. We require any lender to consent or acknowledge our participation in the project. This consent is not a subordination agreement or intercreditor agreement, it is simply ensuring that you are aware of our participation in the project.

What Are The Benefits to Lenders?

Both the lender and PACE Equity are doing underwriting on the property to ensure the project has adequate cash flow for its obligations. You also have sign-off and control of whether or not to accept PACE Equity financing.

In order for PACE Equity to be involved, there has to be an improvement to the property, which increases the collateral value. After the project, it is a more valuable building with lower long-term operating costs.

You’re able to differentiate yourself from competitors by partnering with PACE Equity. You can bring in a capital source for future clients, as well as have a competitive advantage for potential clients.
