The Sunsign PACE Program also increases property values through:

Higher cash flows resulting from lower operating costs

Faster leasing and better tenant satisfaction and retention

Addition of a sustainability marketing angle to the property

By developing a more sustainability-conscious commercial real estate project, investor appetite should expand due to the rapidly escalating interest in socially and environmentally impactful real estate projects.
