NAPPA Conference Agenda
- 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Mortage Lender Consent
Moderator/Panelist: Dub Taylor, Texas PACE Authority (Program Administrator) Panelist: Chris Ellis, Nuveen Green Capital (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Suzanne Hamilton, Erie Bank (Mortgage Lender) Obtaining Mortgage Lender Consent continues to be the largest underwriting hurdle for a C-PACE financial closing. This session will explore the current landscape of what seasoned C-PACE professionals are experiencing. Additionally, the panelists will provide insight into how best to communicate C-PACE financing to the local market, understanding that some markets are nascent while other markets are mature.
- 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
PACE DELINQUENCIES
Moderator: Josh Campbell NAPPA Executive Director (MO Program Administrator) Panelist: Kevin Moyer, PACE Equity (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Colin Kalvas, Bricker Graydon Wyatt (Legal Counsel) In the past couple of years, Program Administrators have seen an increase in C-PACE assessment delinquencies. This session will provide an overview of the reasons for the increase and how Program Administrators can work with C-PACE lenders with communications to the local property owner and tax collection agencies. Further, in states that allow off-bill financing, the panelists will provide insight into the unique challenges with delinquencies when the ad valorem taxes are paid current.
- 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
LOCAL BANKS AND C-PACE
Moderator: Kim Johnston, Slipstream (Program Administrator; WI/NV/IL) Panelist: Ryan Butryn, Huntington National Bank (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Dan Moyer, Stockmanbank (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: TBD Economic development is local. Local banks have established relationships with property owners and can utilize those existing relationships to advance C-PACE financing, including sub $2M C-PACE loan amounts. The panelists on this session will share their unique experiences on how local banks can positively affect the growth of qualified improvements that are financed with C-PACE.
- 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
DEAL STRUCTURING: CONDOS AND GROUND LEASES
Moderator: Chris Jones, Midwest PACE Services (OH/KY/TN Program Administrator) Panelist: Sal Tarsia, Castle Green (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: TBD, Nuveen Green Capital (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Brandon England, Pathway Lending (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Petros (C-PACE Lender) As C-PACE evolves to stay complementary to senior lending products, so does the required structuring of C-PACE financings. In this session, we will learn how condos have been recently structured to be considered as part of the capital stack. Further, panelists will talk about specific deals where ground leases were structured to allow for C-PACE assessments. Last, other structuring considerations such as interest only & capitalized interest periods along with tranching will be discussed.
- 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
UNIQUE & NOTABLE PROJECTS
Moderator: Chris Jones, Midwest PACE Services (OH/KY/TN Program Administrator) Panelist: Bali Kumar, PACE Loan Group (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Mike Doty, Nuveen Green Capital (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Robert Loeb, Peachtree Credit Group (C-PACE Lender) Panelist: Sal Tarsia, Castle Green (C-PACE Lender) Over the past 5 years, the type and dollar amount of a single C-PACE deal has risen significantly. From data centers to amusement parks to football Hall of Fames to snow skiing resorts, the size and complexity of the transaction is something that all parties need to understand to be successful. The panelists will discuss the unique considerations of underwriting, obtaining lender consent and qualifying the eligible improvements.
- 3:00 pm - 3:40 pm
PACE MARKET PLACE
Panelist: Dub Taylor (NAPPA Board Chair) Panelist: TBD (C-PACE Alliance Board Member) The PACE landscape has shifted in a variety of ways and the leading associations dedicated to improving PACE will discuss how they can work together to improve PACE, improve the visibility of PACE and all its players so that PACE is a transparent, effective and community based tool for economic development.
