Upgrading your property with energy efficiency, renewable energy, or resilience measures doesn’t have to drain your capital. With Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing, you can make transformative improvements today — and have others effectively pay for it over time.
1. Preserve Your Capital, Unlock Improvements
Instead of tying up your own funds or taking on conventional debt, C-PACE allows you to finance 100% of project costs — from HVAC upgrades and lighting retrofits to solar panels, battery storage, or even storm-hardening measures. Payments are structured as a special assessment on the property tax bill, not a traditional loan, and typically extend up to 20–30 years.
That means you keep your working capital available for core business needs or growth opportunities — while still benefiting from a modernized, more efficient building.
2. Let Triple-Net Tenants Carry the Costs
If your property is leased on a triple-net (NNN) basis, C-PACE financing can be passed through to tenants just like property taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
Tenants get the benefit: Lower utility bills, more comfortable spaces, and more resilient operations.
Owners get the upgrade: A higher-performing asset, without paying out of pocket.
Everyone wins: Reduced operating costs, lower carbon footprint, and a more competitive building.
In effect, your tenants fund the improvements through lower operating expenses and predictable assessments, while you enjoy increased property value and stronger leasing appeal.
3. A Smarter Way to Finance Sustainability
Compared to bank loans or equity, C-PACE is designed to align costs with benefits:
Off-balance-sheet treatment in many cases.
Transferable upon sale of the property.
Non-recourse to the owner or tenant — secured by the property assessment itself.
Long-term amortization that matches the useful life of the improvements.
✅ Whether you want to cut operating costs, meet ESG goals, or simply improve your building’s resilience, C-PACE gives you a way to upgrade now and pay later — with others helping to carry the load.
