纳什维尔（2024 年 6 月 25 日） — Peachtree集团在田纳西州启动了其第一笔商业地产评估清洁能源（CPACE）融资，为纳什维尔的A级办公开发项目提供了1,070万澳元的贷款。这标志着纳什维尔市和戴维森县首批使用CPACE的房产之一。
这座四层、占地75,000平方英尺的办公楼位于恩斯利大道1621号，位于纳什维尔的中央商务区和韦奇伍德-休斯敦区之间。CPACE的融资期限为30年，将采用追溯和未来融资相结合的方式，为办公室的照明、建筑围护结构、暖通空调、管道和屋顶提供资金。Division Street Development正在开发该项目，目标完成日期为2024年10月。
由于银行贷款标准的收紧，办公和商业房地产所有者将面临艰难的未来几年，数万亿美元的债务到期和再融资变得更加困难。
“对于符合条件的项目，CPACE融资仍然是完成项目的最有吸引力的选择之一。我们很高兴协助Division Street Development获得完成其办公开发融资难题所需的最后一部分。” Peachtree执行副总裁兼CPACE负责人贾里德·施洛瑟说。
CPACE计划为业主提供了一个难得的机会，可以为房产的前期能源成本或其他符合条件的改善提供资金。正如美国能源部所概述的那样，这笔款项将随着时间的推移通过自愿评估来偿还。在田纳西州，业主可以利用CPACE融资，最高可达25％的价值贷款，从而提供灵活和可持续的融资选择。
2021年，田纳西州立法机关通过了CPACE授权立法，允许各县市制定CPACE计划。

Mergers & Acquisitions- Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy, or C-PACE financing, which allows commercial property owners to borrow money for energy efficiency, renewable energy generation, water conservation and other upgrade projects, is a growing market, and is largely being provided by private equity firms.
According to the C-PACE Alliance, anon-profit that works to increase the volume of quality projects, this loan market is growing nicely (see chart below). The market hit over $10 billion in total originations by the end of 2024.
Jared Schlosser, the executive vice president and head of hotel originations and C-PACE at Atlanta PE firm Peachtree Group, says the firm has averaged 25 percent year-over-year growth since it started C-PACE lending at the end of 2019. He expects the market to grow as more states get access to C-PACE.

Hotel owners are facing one of the most demanding operating environments in decades. Interest rates remain high, property valuations are resetting and the costs of running a hotel—particularly energy—continue to rise. Meanwhile, guests have elevated expectations, lenders are more selective and the pressure to maintain profitability in an uncertain market has never been more significant.
In this climate, hotel owners can no longer afford to delay strategic upgrades that make their properties more efficient, resilient and competitive. Sustainable innovation is no longer nice to have; it’s quickly becoming essential for long-term success. Fortunately, hotel owners now have a powerful tool to help them implement these upgrades without draining their reserves or disrupting cash flow: CPACE financing.
Energy is among the most volatile and burdensome line items in a hotel’s operating budget. The rising cost of utilities—from climate control to lighting to laundry—cuts directly into margins. According to recent projections, U.S. natural gas prices alone are expected to increase by nearly 50% in the coming year. These rising costs can add up fast for hotels, especially older properties.
However, energy costs are also one of the most addressable threats. Owners who invest in energy-efficient systems, solar panels, HVAC upgrades or water conservation measures can significantly reduce operating expenses. More importantly, they gain more control over those expenses, becoming less reliant on grid pricing and utility volatility.
This is where CPACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing comes into play. CPACE enables hotel owners to access long-term fixed-rate financing for eligible improvements like energy efficiency, renewable energy and resiliency upgrades. Unlike traditional loans, CPACE is repaid through a special property tax assessment over a period that can extend up to 30 years. That means no upfront capital outlay, non-recourse financing and the potential to pass along costs to future owners if the asset is sold.
By using CPACE, hotel owners can make the upgrades they need today without disrupting operations or tying up cash reserves.
These improvements do more than reduce costs. Properties that are upgraded with efficiency and resiliency in mind tend to command stronger interest from guests, brand partners and investors. As consumers become more conscious of sustainability and more sensitive to comfort and reliability, hotels that can market lower carbon footprints, modernized systems and energy independence stand out in a crowded market.
There’s also growing evidence that sustainability enhances asset value. Properties that have made these upgrades are often better positioned for refinancing or disposition. Buyers are looking closely at operating expenses and capital needs. A hotel with a new roof, efficient systems and solar capabilities is far more attractive than one that faces deferred maintenance and high utility bills.
Sustainable innovation also offers protection against increasingly frequent and severe weather events. Hurricanes, heatwaves, floods and freezes can cause major disruption. Hotels that integrate battery storage, microgrids and storm-resistant features can maintain operations, reduce damage and serve as safe havens in times of crisis. That kind of resilience doesn’t just protect the bottom line—it enhances a hotel’s reputation and guest loyalty.
Hotel owners don’t have to tackle everything at once. The key is starting with the most impactful and cost-effective improvements. CPACE makes that possible. It’s an accessible scalable financing solution that aligns with the long-term nature of hotel ownership and investment.
In a tightening market where margins are under pressure and capital is harder to come by, CPACE offers hotel owners a path forward. It provides a way to modernize properties, cut expenses, increase competitiveness and build resilience—all without adding traditional debt to the balance sheet.
Today’s environment demands more from hotel owners. With sustainable innovation and the strategic use of CPACE financing, those demands can become an opportunity—not just to survive but to grow stronger and more competitive in the years ahead.
