S.I. Container Builds, a trusted client of Julie Sommese, recently highlighted Julie, Midwest Originations Leader at PACE Equity Finance, for her work helping developers navigate complex capital stacks and access financing solutions that support project execution.

Julie brings more than 25 years of commercial real estate and lending experience to her role, with deep expertise across multifamily, hospitality, retail, industrial, and mixed-use projects. Her ability to bridge traditional lending experience with C-PACE financing strategies helps sponsors evaluate practical solutions for today’s development environment.

As modular and container-based construction continues to gain momentum, flexible financing structures are becoming increasingly important. For eligible commercial projects, C-PACE can provide long-duration, fixed-rate, non-recourse capital that helps sponsors reduce cost of capital, improve leverage, preserve equity, and strengthen the capital stack.

C-PACE can be used for new construction, redevelopment, adaptive reuse, major renovations, refinancing, recapitalizations, and projects moving through construction, mid-construction, or post-C/O. Eligible property types include multifamily, senior housing, industrial, hospitality, retail, office, and storage.

Thank you to S.I. Container Builds for recognizing Julie’s leadership, client advocacy, and expertise in helping projects move forward.
