We are proud to introduce this inside look at the elegant transformation of the historic and iconic Breakers Hotel. X-Caliber and CastleGreen provided a total of $122.2 million in financing to the project The two funded $64.45 million in bridge loans, secured by a first mortgage and historic tax credits (HTC), and CastleGreen provided $57.75 million of Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing through the California Statewide Communities Development Authority’s (CSCDA) Open PACE Program. This unique transaction is believed to be the first in the nation where a Bridge to Historic Tax Credits transaction paired with a Construction First Mortgage and Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) was executed under one roof. C-PACE offers low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency, water conservation, resiliency, and renewable energy projects, which aligns perfectly with a historic renovation or adaptive reuse. Take a look at this engaging video case study that shows the evolution of the property and its rebranding to Fairmont Breakers Hotel Long Beach in Long Beach, CA.

About us
CastleGreen Finance, in partnership with X-Caliber Capital, is a private capital source focused on Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“C-PACE”) financing. CastleGreen leverages its extensive experience and expertise to provide clients with the financial tools to create and redevelop sustainable, energy efficient real estate while becoming economically efficient through a superior capital structure. C-PACE is a public-private partnership that was enacted to encourage investors to provide capital to increase commercial building energy efficiency and to improve the building systems and physical structure of commercial real estate properties. C-PACE may be used to finance building improvements that contribute to energy and water savings, as well as resiliency or “risk mitigation” such as seismic improvements or wind resistant improvements. Light to heavy renovations, gut rehab, adaptive reuse and ground up development projects may all utilize C-PACE as part of the capital stack. The financing is similar to other long-term, self amortizing, fixed rate financing with terms of generally 10 to 30 years. Terms are restricted by the Estimated Useful Life “EUL” of the improvements for which they finance.
