SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jan. 27, 2022 – Today, GreenRock Capital LLC (GreenRock) successfully led $103 million in Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) funding for Chinese Hospital in San Francisco.

This transaction will refinance outstanding debt
associated with the new tower and by doing so, Chinese Hospital will realize
respective cashflow savings of over $40 million during the next 10 years.
“This transaction is of great benefit to Chinese Hospital. We thank GreenRock for structuring, leading and successfully closing this exciting and important transaction,” says Jian Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Chinese Hospital.
“This transaction not only helped to finance
efficient building improvements but also helped Chinese Hospital to improve its
cashflow significantly, which of course is important to any hospital during
this period of time.”
“Efficient building improvements and lower costs – a
great win/win,” says Joe Euphrat, Managing Principal of GreenRock.

"I also
want to thank Poppy Bank, Jones Hall, and the rest of the transaction team who
all contributed to a successful closing.”
“We are very happy that CSCDA’s OpenPACE program
allowed Chinese Hospital to realize the structural and economic benefits
associated with this transaction,” says James Hamill, Managing Director
of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA).
“This is the largest C-PACE transaction that we have ever done, and we are grateful to GreenRock for their support and expertise to marshall this complex transaction to a successful closing.”
C-PACE is a financing mechanism that allows owners and developers of commercial and healthcare properties to access low-cost, long-term financing for efficient building improvements, including seismic and other resiliency measures. The financing is repaid through a property assessment payment paid through the term of financing.
