Why Your C-PACE Partner Matters

Major Takeaways 

• • Working with PLG improves your deal speed and closing probability
  • C-PACE eligibility has grown substantially, PLG knows how to use that to your advantage
  • PLG has access to institutional capital but retains all decision-making in-house 

 

Inflation remains high, the labor market is tight, construction costs are soaring, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East is unpredictable at best, and none of these things seem to be headed for a quick resolution.  

For CRE brokers, the situation is clear: The low-rate, easy-money environment of 2021 is gone. This makes the role of the broker in providing value to clients through research and innovation even more important.  

When it comes to a reliable C-PACE partner that shares a commitment to quick execution and certainty at the closing table, there is only one option: PACE Loan Group (PLG). 

Here’s why brokers like you are bringing their C-PACE deals to PLG. 

 

We Won’t Waste Your Time 

PLG is unique: We are backed by institutional capital but retain all decision-making responsibilities. When we issue a term sheet, you have our commitment to execute. That’s true whether the loan is $7.5 million for a ground-up senior living facility or $100 million for the adaptive reuse of a historic building. 

Our originations, underwriting, and legal teams work closely together, speeding up diligence and document review. Our credit committee is wholly in-house and meets weekly, so your deals won’t stall waiting for someone else’s calendars to line up.  

 

We’re C-PACE Pioneers 

Why is PLG the C-PACE lender of choice for complex deals, in states with new C-PACE programs, or to finance esoteric assets? We have the experience and expertise to get deals done, even when others can’t. 

Whether that means navigating lender consent, working with C-PACE administrators to codify new processes, or digging deep during the underwriting process to truly understand the value of an atypical asset, we’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again.   

We’re not beholden to a rigid framework dictated by a credit committee with competing priorities. We understand each capital stack is unique, and we have the experience to find the right fit for C-PACE even in complex deals. 

 

We’re In It for the Long Haul 

C-PACE loans mature in 25-30+ years, and we keep servicing in-house, so we always have an eye on the future. That requires strong capital management, and it also requires strong relationship management.  

CRE is a relationship-driven business. That’s why we treat people – brokers, sponsors, other lenders, everyone – like we’ll be at a closing table with them again. Real People/Real Capital® isn’t just a slogan, it’s who we are: an experienced, innovative team that has earned the trust of some of the biggest names in finance.  

Our partners love working with us; do you love working with yours? 

 

Conclusion 

When rates are low, markets hit new highs every week, and money is easy, good partners matter less. But in markets like today’s, when even the best deals require understanding nuance, working quickly and precisely, and a shared commitment to closing, they can be the difference between success and failure.  

With PLG, you’ll never wonder if your C-PACE lender is as committed to your deal as you are. Submit a project below and see the difference Real Real People/Real Capital® makes.
