Building Owners/Managers

“I struggled to help our facility make meaningful energy cost reductions without up-front investment or back-end credit approvals. Who knew that I could skip both, obtain immediate financial returns, and avoid self-interested contractors as well?”

Commercial Real Estate Developers

“While I understood the financial and marketing benefits of incorporating more sustainable upgrades into our redevelopment effort, finding ways to make that affordable seemed out of reach. Hard to believe that I could actually lower my cost of capital while doing more renovations.”

Banks

“Meeting our Community Reinvestment Act lending requirements was an ongoing battle given business priorities and market competition for those deals.  It was surprising to learn that the answer to our CRA challenges had resided in our commercial real estate lending practice all along.”

What types of commercial sites are good candidates for PACE?

What types of improvements are good fits for PACE?

PACE lending is available through various third-party lenders, so why work with Sunsign?

Because PACE in its typical form still has challenges:

Property owners or developers must produce a PACE-qualified list of improvement projects with engineering and economics

Project development is either an up-front expense or created by self-interested contractors focused on their products or services

Traditional (equity-investor-backed) PACE financiers may not offer the best terms on their loans

The bank in the first lien position on the property may delay the acceptance of a PACE loan

Sunsign’s Impact Financing Program overcomes these traditional PACE challenges through a unique set of relationships that supports and protects the building owner/developer, offsets the cost of developing improvement measures without using contractors, and encourages banks with first liens not only to accept PACE lending but also participate in the loan, thereby improving lending terms.
