Spinnaker Real Estate Partners
How does an outdated engineering plant become a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient sports facility?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? See how 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.
