C-PACE has evolved well beyond its origins as a niche tool for financing small-scale energy efficiency upgrades. It is increasingly being used to support ground-up development, major capital improvement projects, and the recapitalization of higher-cost construction debt. What was once a sustainability product at the margins of the capital stack is now an integral part of how sophisticated sponsors structure deals — offering flexible, cost-effective capital across a wide range of asset classes and project types.

This workshop is a practical, hands-on walkthrough of how C-PACE actually works in practice. North Bridge Founder & CEO Laura Rapaport and Managing Director Ilana Ettinger break down the mechanics of the product, the use cases where it delivers the most value, and the deal-level considerations that practitioners need to understand. Along the way, they'll draw on real transactions from North Bridge's own experience to show how C-PACE performs across a variety of project types and market conditions.

You'll leave with a clear understanding of how C-PACE fits into the capital stack, when and how to use it, and the practical knowledge to evaluate it for your own deals.
