亚特兰大（2024 年 6 月 24 日） — 随着信贷市场的持续混乱， 桃树集团 向BLG SAN DIEGO, LLC（BLG）发放了4000万美元的追溯CPACE贷款，用于其最近开业的147间客房 圣地亚哥市中心瓦斯灯区万豪AC酒店 在加州这个 商业地产评估清洁能源（CPACE）融资 分期分期为30年，一年内无需付款，随后五年仅按息支付。此外，所得款项使BLG能够通过减轻银行的风险敞口，将总部位于加利福尼亚的优先银行和E.Sun商业银行有限公司的优先贷款偿还至2000万美元以下。
Peachtree集团董事总经理兼首席执行官格雷格·弗里德曼表示：“这种创新的资本结构极大地缓解了眼前的财务压力，使酒店能够在运营的最初几年建立坚实的现金流基础。”
尽管美国酒店业的RevPAR表现强劲，但多重不利因素加剧了业主的财务压力。这些不利因素包括美国酒店盈利能力滞后、持续居高不下的利率和历史最高的财产保险成本。
总部位于新泽西州的Briad Group® 创始人、董事长兼联席首席执行官布拉德·霍尼格菲尔德说：“当我们在2023年3月开设圣地亚哥市中心瓦斯灯区万豪国际酒店时，酒店业基本面出现了相当大的脱节，尤其是在圣地亚哥，而债务市场正在严重恶化，美联储的紧缩程序和不断上升的基金利率大大推高了债务成本。”
随着数万亿美元的债务到期，再融资变得越来越困难，再融资变得更加困难，再加上银行收紧的贷款标准，酒店和商业地产所有者面临着艰难的几年。
根据仲量联行研究的数据，到2024年底，价值58亿美元的美国酒店证券化贷款将到期偿还，需要全额还款、再融资、延期或出售。但是，如果这些贷款以当前利率进行再融资，那么大多数贷款将难以产生足够的收入来支付债务成本。
在这个充满挑战的贷款市场中 商业地产评估清洁能源（CPACE）融资 已成为重要的流动性来源。随着所有者面临即将到期的债务和稀缺的再融资机会，这种选择变得越来越重要。
据称，CPACE融资在商业房地产市场迅速获得关注，在短短十年内美国累计达到72亿美元 PaceNation。这一重要的里程碑突显了CPACE融资作为一种创新而有效的解决方案越来越被接受和采用。该市场的主要参与者桃树集团已表明其对CPACE融资的承诺，CPACE的发起额超过8亿美元。
圣地亚哥市中心瓦斯灯区 AC 酒店位于圣地亚哥市中心的煤气灯区，以其餐厅、商店和夜生活而闻名。
霍尼格菲尔德说：“我们的酒店受益于其地理位置和业绩，但债务成本使现金流紧张。”
追溯性CPACE资金 为业主提供独特的优势。它的运作方式与普通的项目前融资类似，但有一个关键区别：100％的贷款收益可用于偿还业主已经产生的费用。这一功能使追溯性CPACE成为寻求更好贷款条件或改善已完成项目的现金流的业主的宝贵资源。
“它提供的经济救济不仅确保了酒店的成功，而且为其长期稳定奠定了基础。通过在早期减轻财务负担，业主可以专注于提供卓越的宾客体验和实现卓越的运营，” 弗里德曼说。
这种战略方针为资产在未来过渡到更有利的融资市场铺平了道路，从而确保了其持续的盈利能力和增长。

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.
