Associate, CPACE Transaction Management

Nuveen Green Capital (NGC) is a rapidly growing company with the goal of changing how our country's commercial real estate buildings produce and use energy. We finance commercial real estate new construction developments, substantial rehab projects, and retrofits of existing buildings with an innovative financing product called C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy). Nuveen Green Capital is the nation's leading provider of C-PACE financing.

C-PACE financing funds multi-million dollar energy, water, and resiliency measures within a commercial real estate project's construction budget and is paired with traditional construction, bridge, and permanent financing to complete a project's capital stack. C-PACE financing is attractively priced construction-to-permanent financing that is growing in popularity among real estate developers and property owners.
