What is C-PACE?

C-PACE is a public-private partnership allowing private capital to finance measures that reduce a commercial building’s energy consumption.

Generally, any improvements that reduce a building’s energy consumption are C-PACE eligible. Such improvements generally fall into several categories:
- Energy Efficiency
- Renewability
- Water Conservation
- Resiliency (improvements to protect against natural disasters)
C-PACE eligible improvements can be financed either (1) when the improvements are installed or (2) as a reimbursement two to three years after installation is complete in most C-PACE programs.
C-PACE is active in 29 states plus the District of Columbia. This number is expected to continue increasing through 2023 and beyond.

BSP’s C-PACE program is run out of our commercial real estate group.

BSP can fund C-PACE loans in a variety of situations:
- New construction
- Major rehabilitation of existing buildings
- Limited retrofit projects
- Construction loan refinances
- Completed project recapitalizations
BSP seamlessly combines C-PACE with BSP-originated senior loans to complete a borrower’s entire capital stack in a single transaction with BSP as the only lender.
Property owners and developers may access C-PACE to finance eligible improvements for upgrades to existing buildings and new construction projects.
As a special assessment on title, C-PACE is typically repaid as a line item on the property tax bill over 20 to 30 years. The term is tied to the weighted average useful life of the improvements financed by C-PACE.

We are excited to help mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions at the same time we fund new loans.
