PACE Equity Funds Local Developments

Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) is a legislated public/ private partnership that was approved in Minnesota as a financing tool to encourage energy efficiency with long-term, low-rate, non-recourse funds. Your construction budget can use our private capital funding for costs which impact energy & water spend, renewable improvements or resiliency measures. The repayment of our capital is made through a long-term special tax assessment on the property, making it transferable with the property.

CIRRUS

We also offer a unique program called CIRRUS Low Carbon which provides a significant rate reduction when you meet a low carbon design specification. The program uses PACE financing, with all of the features that make it a smart capital option yet incentivizes a slightly more efficient design with improved financial returns. Design your building to meet the specification, receive the lower rate, and receive a great promotional package to position your building as a low carbon property.
