Greenworks Lending announced today a partnership with Triad Real Estate Partners and Black Bear Capital Partners

CHICAGO, IL, USA, October 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Greenworks Lending from Nuveen, the nation’s leading C-PACE capital provider, announced today a partnership with Triad Real Estate Partners and Black Bear Capital Partners to inform and educate the commercial real estate industry on the accretive uses of Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing.

C-PACE is a public-private partnership authorized by state statute that provides property owners and developers access to low-cost, long-term, fixed-rate financing for energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy real estate projects. Billions of dollars of C-PACE have already been funded with dramatic growth being seen in recent years.

Through their joint efforts, the team will endeavor to bring awareness of the C-PACE asset class to key developers, property owners, and industry intermediaries across the country.

“Together with Triad and Black Bear, the value of C-PACE will become clear to many market participants,” explained Aaron Kraus, Greenworks’ Vice President of Market Development and Strategy. “C-PACE can drive significant returns for the bottom line and help improve sustainability at the same time. It is a win-win.”

Sean Lyons, Partner at Triad Real Estate Partners agreed. “Whether we are talking ground-up development, gut-rehab, repositioning or just deferred capex needs, the financial impacts here can be dramatic. The key issue is that many people just don’t know this is an option yet. It is still very new to most markets.”

“Over the past two years, C-PACE has become much more widely accepted with banks as well as debt funds,” said Mathew Stearns, Senior Managing Director and Head of Originations at Black Bear Capital Partners. “This is due to the increased exposure of successful deal executions and the more attractive cost of capital vs using preferred equity or mezzanine financing for higher leverage.”

Markets such as Illinois, where the program is in its relative infancy, will benefit greatly from the partnership and its awareness-building efforts. The program is a powerful financing solution that reduces property owners’ annual costs and provides dramatically better-than-market financing for green new construction while also facilitating sustainability efforts, and this new partnership will help amplify that message.
