Your First Call
Whether you’re planning a redevelopment, new construction, or major facility upgrade, there are a wide range of financing and incentive tools available that can significantly improve project feasibility. These programs are designed to reduce upfront capital requirements, enhance returns, and help move projects forward that might not otherwise pencil. Our role is to help you identify what applies, structure the right combination of incentives, and guide you from concept through execution.
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) Financing
PACE financing is a specialized funding tool designed for energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and resiliency improvements in commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties. It can typically fund a portion of total project costs (often ~25–35%, depending on eligibility and structure) and is secured through a voluntary special assessment on the property tax bill.
Repayment terms are long-term—often 10 to 30 years—and are structured to align with the weighted average useful life of the installed improvements, helping ensure that financing terms match the lifespan of the equipment. Most programs also include a minimum project threshold of approximately $250,000, with larger projects more common due to underwriting and transaction efficiency. Because repayment is tied to the property rather than the borrower, PACE can improve project cash flow and is frequently structured so that projected utility savings offset or exceed annual repayment obligations.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
Tax Increment Financing allows new property tax revenue generated by a project to be reinvested back into the development area. These funds are typically used to support infrastructure improvements such as roads, utilities, parking, and site preparation, helping reduce developer costs and unlock project viability without increasing tax burdens on existing property owners.
Bond Financing - Capital Lease
Public and quasi-public bond financing provides access to long-term, low-cost capital for qualifying development and infrastructure projects. Bonds can be structured in multiple ways depending on the project type and revenue source, allowing for flexible repayment structures tied to project performance or dedicated revenue streams.
Capital leases allow public entities and private organizations to acquire essential equipment, facilities, or infrastructure assets while spreading payments over time. This structure preserves upfront capital, supports budget predictability, and can be structured to align with useful life and accounting requirements while ultimately transferring ownership to the lessee.
