Inland Green Capital Originates C-PACE Financing for a 28-Unit Multifamily Complex in Wisconsin

Oak Brook, Ill. – Inland Green Capital LLC (“Inland Green Capital”), an environmental finance and investment company, announced the origination of nearly $1 million in commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“C-PACE”) financing for environmental improvements for a multifamily conversion project in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Formerly an industrial property that was home to Wisconsin-based Miles Kimball, a catalog business offering gifts and household items, the building will be converted to a multifamily complex featuring 28 apartment units with 43 parking spaces.

The C-PACE capital will help fund HVAC, LED lighting, roof, windows and water conservation improvements for the four-story complex located at 851 South Main Street. The improvements are expected to reduce the property’s annual electricity and water consumption by 325,947 kilowatt-hours and 643,713 gallons, respectively, when compared with a standard baseline building performance model. Total lifecycle savings are anticipated to reach over $1.4 million.

"We are thrilled to be a part of this project and add C-PACE within the borrower’s capital stack,” commented Mark Pikus, president of Inland Green Capital. “This conversion from industrial to multifamily is just one example of how C-PACE financing can assist commercial property owners in lowering their cost of capital, achieve their sustainability goals and save operating costs.”

This is Inland Green Capital’s sixth transaction in the State of Wisconsin.

A pioneer in the industry with a decade of expertise, Inland Green Capital specializes in C-PACE financings for C-PACE project initiatives throughout the country, including retroactive and small loan balance projects. C-PACE is an innovative financing tool that provides long-term, fixed-rate funding to private building owners for energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, electric vehicle charging and resiliency projects to be installed in both existing and new commercial properties.

Inland Green Capital LLC Steps Up In Green Financing for PACE

Company Expands Financing for Sustainable Real Estate Upgrades in Florida

 

Oak Brook, Ill. - Inland Green Capital LLC (“Inland Green Capital”), an environmental finance and investment company, is continuing its involvement in Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) financing by expanding to St. Lucie County, Florida. In August 2014, Inland Green Capital partnered with St. Lucie County and the non-profit organization Solar and Energy Loan Fund (“SELF”) to create a new PACE program which will allow easier access for commercial property owners to “go green.” Inland Green Capital will provide the capital for energy-efficient improvements such as HVAC upgrades and renewable energy projects such as solar panel installations.

“Programs like PACE are making it more convenient than ever to upgrade real estate properties with environmentally-conscious features,” said Mark Pikus, senior vice president of Inland Green Capital. “The program provides financing for commercial property owners looking for ways to upgrade their property with such improvements.”

PACE provides upfront financing through local and state government and is repaid by a special assessment that is part of the real estate taxes, potentially spanning 20 years. Since the security is in the form of a special assessment, the PACE financing runs with the property. Inland Green Capital has invested in PACE by funding PACE projects and assisting program administrators with start-ups and expansions. Inland Green Capital is an approved capital provider for many PACE programs throughout the country.

Inland Green Capital is actively seeking more opportunities to help PACE program startups, purchase private placement PACE transactions and promote sustainability in the real estate industry.

Inland Green Capital Finances First Ever Commercial PACE Transaction in Kentucky with Ivy Knoll

Inland Green Capital Finances First Ever Commercial PACE Transaction in Kentucky with Ivy Knoll

Inland Green Capital LLC, through the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance, made history by providing capital for the first PACE transaction in the state of Kentucky. Ivy Knoll Senior Living Community in Covington became the first private property owner to have received 100% financing in the amount of $784,236, enabling the 7-story, all electric building to benefit from several energy-efficient improvements. These benefits will include solar panels, automated heating and cooling for each of the residents’ units, and LED lighting throughout.

By using PACE financing, Ivy Knoll was able to borrow 100% of the costs and will repay the amount as a voluntary special improvement assessment on its property tax bill, which runs with the property and not with the individual property owner.

Additionally, because of its flexible capital, Inland Green Capital was able to provide interim, unsecured financing to the property owner to commence the renovations pending the closing of the ultimate PACE transaction, without the typical underwriting parameters of a conventional banking source. PACE financing did not require any personal guaranty!

The successful completion of the first PACE transaction in the state was largely due to the collaboration and expertise brought on by Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance as the program administrator.

Inland Green Capital Provides Financing for PACE Improvements for CA Office

Inland Green Capital LLC, in collaboration with PACE administrator, Samas Capital, provided a $492,052 PACE bond to facilitate the funding of solar panels on a 28,093 SF, two-story office building in Anaheim, California. The financing funded 100% of the costs of the transaction.

The PACE financing was provided up-front and will be funded as the construction/ installation progresses for the improvements. The loan will be repaid in the form of a special assessment on its tax bill over 10 years. The amount owed is secured by the property with no personal guarantees of any kind.

Samas Capital was able to coordinate the local contractors, while Inland Green Capital provided the necessary capital allowing the building to proceed with the energy efficiency enhancements.
