ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 12, 2019—Stonehill today announced that it
now provides Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) lending.
The company also named Anne Hill
president and Connor Murch director of business development.
Together they will head up the newly formed Stonehill PACE division.
“Anne and Connor have unparalleled reputations as some of
the leading providers of gap financing for construction projects, and their
knowledge of PACE lending is second to none,” said Mat Crosswy,
principal, Stonehill.
“They are the ideal candidates as we further
expand our lending capabilities. For the first time, we will offer these
services to all asset classes, not just to the hospitality industry.
"We
will target new construction projects, including hotels, multi-family, senior
living and student housing, looking for a low-cost alternative to mezzanine
financing.”

As director of business development, Murch will identify and prequalify

PACE to fit with the other components of the capital stack.
Previously,
he was senior finance manager with RAHILL Capital. During his tenure
there, he worked with Hill and the rest of the RAHILL team to source and close
more than $85 million in CPACE loans.

he sourced financing for more than $100 million in acquisitions.
Murch
received his BSBA in finance & real estate from the University of
Missouri-Columbia.
“Mat and
the rest of the Stonehill team have put together an excellent platform to
provide various levels of financing for the hospitality industry, and adding a
PACE division allows the company to grow beyond its hospitality roots,” Hill
noted.

developers.”
