Bringing New Light and Life to Repurposed Properties
How does an outdated engineering plant become a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient sports facility? And how is an industrial complex repurposed into a home for makers, artisans, and manufacturers? Innovative C-PACE financing has enabled Spinnaker Real Estate Partners to harness the power of solar to reduce operating costs, exceed industry standards in sustainability, and give new life – and purpose – to older buildings.

Environmental Finance Recognizes Green Bank with Two Bond Awards
When Environmental Finance’s 2020 Bond Awards winners were announced earlier this year, the Connecticut Green Bank was recognized with two honors: the Award for Innovation – Green Bond Structure and the Award for Asset-Backed or Asset-Based Bond. These awards highlight the innovation and success of the Green Bank’s April 2019 $38.6 million in green asset backed securities, which was its first rated debt issuance, and the first ever solar asset-backed security (ABS) transaction by a green bank. The awards were judged by an independent panel comprising of 30 of the world’s largest green, social and sustainability bond investors.
