Pay for property upgrades with dollars saved from your energy expenses

Almost any building is eligible for PACE financing – from multi-family apartment building to retail and warehouses.  

C5 ENERGY PARTNERS focuses on all property types except residential and only multi-family properties (+4 units)

Energy efficiency and energy generation improvements all apply, while in some states water conservation as well as hurricane and earthquake resistance maybe qualify as well.  

• Covers 100% of financing costs including project development costs
• Provides long-term funding and results in immediate benefits to cash-flow.
• Stays with building upon sale (debt not carried on personal or corp. balance sheet)
• Increases building marketability and value.
• Offers a range of accounting treatments

The method used is similar to that used to finance schools, sewers, and economic revitalization programs in municipalities. 

• The loan is called a PACE Assessment.
• It is an additional line item added to your property tax bill.
• Payable only annually or semi so not monthly like typical loan.
• Loan maturity not to outlast project life cycle typically 15-20yrs.  Resulting in immediate cash savings and revenue positive results.
• Non-Acceleration of payments

PACE Financing is a great tool which can be used to increase cap-rate of your property without directly investing any additional capital, which can be especially useful in a declining cap-rate environment.

• SIR Hurdle: project must pass Savings to Investment ratio of at least 1:1 to be PACE eligible -> resulting in immediate positive cash flow
• Match assets and liability life cycles
• Compare PACE rates (5-7%) v. typical equity and mezz debt (13-15%)
•  Increase building value and lower cost to operate while still increasing ROI.
• Debt belongs to the building and is transferable upon sale, thus freeing up capital for additional projects or increased return.
