내슈빌 (2024년 6월 25일) — Peachtree Group은 내슈빌의 A등급 사무실 개발을 위해 1,070만 달러의 대출을 받아 테네시 주에서 최초의 상업용 부동산 평가 청정 에너지 (CPACE) 파이낸싱을 시작했습니다.이는 내슈빌과 데이비슨 카운티에서 CPACE를 활용한 최초의 부동산 중 하나입니다.
1621 Ensley Blvd에 있는 7만 5천 평방피트의 4층 오피스 빌딩은 내슈빌의 중심 업무 지구와 웨지우드-휴스턴 지구 사이에 위치해 있습니다.CPACE 파이낸싱은 30년에 걸쳐 진행되며, 소급 및 향후 자금 지원을 조합하여 사무실의 조명, 건물 외피, HVAC, 배관 및 지붕 등에 자금을 지원할 예정입니다.스트리트 디벨롭먼트 사업부가 이 프로젝트를 개발 중이며, 완공 예정일은 2024년 10월입니다.
오피스 및 상업용 부동산 소유주는 은행 대출 기준 강화로 인해 수조 달러에 달하는 부채가 만기되고 리파이낸싱이 더욱 어려워지는 등 앞으로 몇 년 동안 어려움을 겪을 수 밖에 없습니다.
“적격 프로젝트의 경우 CPACE 파이낸싱은 프로젝트를 완료하는 데 가장 매력적인 옵션 중 하나로 남아 있습니다.Peachtree의 수석 부사장 겸 CPACE 책임자인 Jared Schlosser는 디비전 스트리트 디벨롭먼트가 사무실 개발을 위한 파이낸싱 퍼즐을 완성하는 데 필요한 마지막 부분을 확보할 수 있도록 지원하게 되어 기쁩니다.” 라고 말했습니다.
CPACE 프로그램은 부동산 소유주가 선불 에너지 비용 또는 부동산의 기타 적격한 개선 비용을 조달할 수 있는 특별한 기회를 제공합니다.이 금액은 미국 에너지부 (Department of Energy) 가 제시한 대로 자발적 평가를 통해 시간이 지남에 따라 상환됩니다.테네시주에서는 부동산 소유주가 CPACE 파이낸싱을 가치 대비 최대 25% 까지 활용할 수 있어 유연하고 지속 가능한 파이낸싱 옵션을 제공합니다.
2021년 테네시 주 의회는 CPACE 지원 법안을 통과시켜 카운티 또는 도시에서 CPACE 프로그램을 수립할 수 있도록 허용했습니다.
Peachtree Group Credit은 모든 상업용 부동산 부문에 걸쳐 영구 대출, 브리지 론, 메자닌 론, CPACE 파이낸싱 및 우선주 투자를 제공하는 상업용 부동산 직접 대출 기관입니다.

Mergers & Acquisitions- Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy, or CPACE 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 CPACE 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 CPACE at Atlanta PE firm Peachtree Group, says the firm has averaged 25 percent year-over-year growth since it started CPACE lending at the end of 2019. He expects the market to grow as more states get access to CPACE.

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.
