Lafayette, CO—Colorado C-PACE announced today that StoneCreek Real Estate Partners will leverage the program’s retroactive financing option to fund construction of its 74,000-square-foot assisted living and memory care community.

Texas-based StoneCreek Real Estate Partners is a collaboration of seasoned real estate professionals with over 70 years of combined experience in capitalizing, developing, and delivering successful senior living, long term care projects. Partners Joe Geer and Nick Craig said, “Once we heard that Colorado C-PACE provided retroactive financing for eligible projects, we moved to take advantage of this financially attractive option[1].” They added, “At StoneCreek we strive to provide the highest quality of care for our residents, and that includes energy-efficient systems that ensure a better living experience. C-PACE financing motivates and rewards developers to do the right thing for our residents and the environment.”

StoneCreek worked with Edison Energy in the analysis of the new facility. Farhan Khatri, Director of Client Solutions at Edison Energy, said, “We were thrilled to work with StoneCreek’s design and engineering team and find ways to optimize and evaluate the energy efficiency for this facility. The energy efficient measures resulted in enabling the C-PACE financing that made the project successful.”

Counterpointe Sustainable Real Estate, a nationwide provider of C-PACE financing, funded the $3.8 million for the project. Douglas P. Harmon, Managing Director at Counterpointe Sustainable Real Estate, said, “Colorado has built one of most successful and innovative C-PACE programs in the nation, so it’s not surprising that their forward thinking encourages owners and developers to retroactively apply for construction financing on gut rehab projects. We are thrilled to assist StoneCreek and participate in Colorado’s program.”
