tweetLafayette, CO—Colorado C-PACE announced today that Milender White will leverage C-PACE financing to install roof-mounted solar panels on its new development, Bluebird Market, a 29,000 SF market hall and events facility located at 325 Blue River Parkway in the new heart of downtown Silverthorne, Colorado. This is the twentieth project closing this year for Colorado’s C-PACE program.
Tim Fredregill, Development Executive at Milender White, said, “We’ve been trying to find a way to utilize C-PACE financing for a while, and we were able to find the perfect application here at Bluebird Market in Silverthorne. We like the long-term financing and minimal cash impact to ownership. The environmental benefits are great not only for the planet, but also from a marketing perspective. The C-PACE team worked with us throughout this process and really made this easy for us. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome, and what it brings to the overall development here in Silverthorne.”
Greenworks Lending, a national provider of C-PACE financing, provided $650,000 for the 200kW solar PV array on the roof of the new market hall. “We are so excited to work with Tim on the construction of the Bluebird Market solar PV project,” said Sean Ribble of Greenworks Lending. “The Colorado C-PACE Program and Summit County have shown real leadership in utilizing C-PACE as a tool to encourage developers to incorporate renewable energy improvements as a part of their buildings. Everyone benefits—the owners, the tenants, the community, and the environment.”
