Summary
A podcast published by Real Estate Capital's sister platform features guests from CounterpointeSRE discussing the rapid expansion of C-PACE financing, a mechanism that funds energy-efficiency and renewable improvements on commercial properties through special property-tax assessments. The episode, titled "'Sustainable assets are better credit risks': The case for C-PACE," examines how sustainable credit markets have evolved.

According to the episode description, the guests argue that sustainable assets represent better credit risks, a thesis that frames C-PACE as more than a green-financing niche. The discussion also addresses why transaction sizes once considered out of reach, including a $1bn deal, may now be achievable within the structure.
