And since the debt is collected on the property tax bill, some owners can pass on the cost of financing as common area maintenance charges to tenants, who are enjoying the benefits of improvements, Bailey suggested.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>A most \u2018favorable\u2019 option<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Last August, Bay Area developer <strong>TMG Partners<\/strong> did the biggest C-PACE office deal ever, securing a $172-million C-PACE loan from San Francisco-based <strong>GreenRock Capital<\/strong> and Cleveland-based <strong>KeyBanc Capital Markets<\/strong> for sustainability upgrades at 300 Lakeside Drive in Oakland, Calif.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">C-PACE financed upgrading or replacing fire protection, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems with high-efficiency equipment and materials; sealing of the building envelope for energy efficiency; a complete seismic retrofit; and energy-efficient lighting throughout workspace in preparation for new tenant<strong> Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">PG&amp;E is moving its headquarters here from San Francisco, inking a 35-year lease for the iconic, mid-century, 28-story office tower that anchors the city\u2019s thriving Uptown Area on Lake Merritt.

He noted that, since C-PACE loans are transferrable to a new owner, PG&amp;E can either assume the loan balance or pay it off when it closes on the building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cC-PACE continues to be an increasingly attractive option from an investment point of view because it\u2019s relatively low-levered; financing sustainability that is critical for developing or redeveloping in today\u2019s buildings; and a very secure financial instrument,\u201d said Joe Euphrat, GreenRock managing principal. \u201cIn competing with other financial sources, C-PACE is not only more favorable now, but one of the most favorable options,\u201d he contends.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Public-private benefit<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">C-PACE lenders can offer such favorable terms because it is a public-private partnership that leverages private capital but utilizes the public-benefit funding mechanism typically used to finance public\ninfrastructure, Bailey explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The program allows debt to be repaid as a benefit assessment on the property tax bill over a term that matches the useful life of improvements and\/or new construction infrastructure (typically 20 &#8211; 30 years)\nand can be transferred to new owners as a property lien.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This type of financing, which can fund up to 40 percent of a project\u2019s total cost, is available for all types of commercial real estate assets, requires no equity investment, and can be used to upgrade or install\nsustainability features in existing buildings or ground-up construction that reduces energy consumption or conserves water, as well as the related labor costs. It also finances seismic, storm, fire and flooding resiliency infrastructure upgrades in markets subject to earthquakes, hurricanes and flooding, like California and Florida.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jason Schwartzberg, president and co-founder of MD Energy Advisors, cites other advantages for developers. \u201cIf a project starts to go over budget or isn\u2019t leasing up as fast as predicted in the proforma, we can retroactively finance the deal as long as a certificate of occupancy had been issued within 36 months,\u201d he explains, noting that C-PACE also can eliminate high-cost, mezzanine financing to fill funding gaps.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>The matches that lit the fire<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The upswing in C-PACE loans can be attributed to several factors. \u201cThe extreme volatility we saw in the capital markets left more traditional commercial real estate lenders on the sidelines and created gaps in\ncapital stacks that C-PACE was strategically positioned to fill,\u201d Bailey said \u201cAnd for the first time since I\u2019ve been doing C-PACE lending, we were often able to price inside a senior mortgage.\u201d C-PACE already had several structural benefits attractive to developers, Bailey noted. \u201cWhen we paired the structural advantage with a pricing advantage, we saw originations tick up quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">C-PACE deals increased over the last year in step with rate increases by the Fed, which slowed the pace of lending by commercial banks, according to Schwartzberg. With the highest Fed rate in decades, capital lenders tightened lending terms and policies and increased equity requirements. His firm did four C-PACE deals in the last quarter of 2023 alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As a result of the Fed&#8217;s moves, PACE rates are now lower or on par with the \u201cgo-to lenders\u201d for construction loans, he adds, noting that previously bank rates were often lower. C-PACE loans range from 7.5 percent to 8 percent, compared to bank construction financing at 10 percent to 15 percent, depending on the length of the loan, location, property type, and the sponsor\u2019s credit rating, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialloandirect.com\/commercial-rates.php\">Commercial Loan Direct.<\/a><span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"attachment_1004705816\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004705816\" data-attachment-id=\"1004705816\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-c-pace-loans-are-at-a-record-high\/pacemap-copy-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PaceMap copy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Source: C-PACE Nation&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg?w=800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1004705816\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2024\/03\/PaceMap-copy-1.jpg?resize=768,595 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004705816\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: C-PACE Nation<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This financing tool, however, can only be accessed in states that have passed PACE-enabling legislation and in counties or local jurisdictions permitting it. For example, there are 10 local jurisdictions in\nCalifornia that permit PACE benefit assessment, property-tax financing. PACE-enabling legislation is now active in 38 states plus D.C. and launched and operating in 30 states and D.C. Additionally, three other states are considering PACE-enabling legislation, including Arizona, North Carolina and South Carolina, according to Schwartzberg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Schwartzberg also suggests that the increase in C-PACE loan originations may be partially due to additional states adopting PACE-enabling legislation, the most recent being Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Nevada, Tennessee and Washington, and authorization by more local jurisdictions.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Sky\u2019s the limit<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There is no size cap for C-PACE loans. The loan amount is based on the project\u2019s energy savings and is only limited by the sponsor\u2019s credit rating and underwriting to ensure sufficient cashflow to service all debt. That\u2019s why C-PACE loan amounts are hitting record highs. \u201cPACE is increasingly becoming part of developers\u2019 capital stacks, even for \u2018Blue Chip\u2019 or strong sponsors, and is being leveraged to fill equity gaps.\u201d Schwartzberg said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In addition, the PACE lending market is expanding. There currently are about 300 national, regional, and local mortgage lenders nationwide that offer PACE financing. But according to the Crittenden Report, other lenders, including major banks, are looking at acquiring PACE shops or taking steps to become approved PACE providers.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">However, Schwartzberg cites the three hurdles to qualifying for C-PACE financing: (1) underwriting must demonstrate the project will generate enough cashflow to service both the primary mortgage and C-PACE loan, (2) it must pass a technical review, which uses permit plans, the schedule of values and COMcheck forms to quantify and confirm the project\u2019s energy- and water-related content exceeds code, and (3) the borrower must ascertain written consent for a C-PACE loan from the primary mortgage lender.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Meanwhile, the amount of capital available to developers also is increasing, as more investors, including institutional investors, see C-PACE as an attractive, low-risk investment. According to <strong>PACENation<\/strong>, which promotes and supports growth in PACE market participants, capital investment in financing by private and institutional investors for commercial projects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacenation.org\/pace-market-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">now exceeds $7.2 billion<\/a>.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Last year, for example, NGC and parent company Nuveen launched a fund to provide insurers an opportunity to access a portfolio of investment-grade, clean-energy assets, following a survey in which 82 percent of insurers said they plan to consider impact investments in the next year and 55 percent of insurers In North America said they take climate strategy into account in their impact investing approaches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As a result, six major insurance firms allocated a total of $525 million to the NCG fund to finance energy efficiency and sustainability projects.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cAs an investment product, C-PACE typically offers higher yields compared to similarly rated products, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities or municipal and corporate bonds,\u201d noted Bailey. \u201cThe underlying security has proven to be a good fit for life insurers because it provides strong capital-efficient income, duration and diversification, and the opportunity for impact investment without sacrificing risk-adjusted return versus other fixed income products.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- wp:image -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of the current finance environment, originations and available capital are soaring. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3366,"featured_media":1004705065,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21825,21786,51037],"tags":[52352,52351,39519],"class_list":["post-1004705060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-finance","category-sustainability","category-trends","tag-greenrock-capital","tag-nuveen-green-capital","tag-pacenation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
