Opportunity
NGC provided $465 million in C-PACE financing in partnership with Mavik, who provided a $110 million first mortgage. The C-PACE capital, combined with office to residential tax abatement and Mavik’s investment, provided sponsor, Post Brothers, with significant cost advantages over conventional financing structures. C-PACE proceeds will fund key carbon, energy and water efficiency measures, including the property’s HVAC, lighting, hot water systems, and building envelope.
