PACE Equity Funds Local Developments

PACE Equity serves Denver and the state of Colorado with commercial real estate financing using Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) loans. The state of Colorada allows this financing option to encourage energy efficiency in the local building stock. The C-PACE financing can be used for new construction, redevelopment, renovation, refinancing, and renewable energy projects. Our firm provides C-PACE loans for up to 20% of the capital stack (or 100% for solar and other renewable energy projects). Since 2014, PACE Equity has funded well over 200 PACE projects with a focus on delivering improved return on equity for our clients.

PACE Equity also offers an innovative low carbon C-PACE financing option called CIRRUS Low Carbon which combines C-PACE financing with a green building designation. The program provides financial benefits, including a substantial rate reduction, for pursuing enhanced energy efficiency. This efficiency improves the carbon footprint of the building which makes it more appealing to your tenants. We even help you by coaching you through the design changes necessary to secure the lower rates.
