Catalyst Construction to Term Loan

Finance implementation of clean energy & resiliency improvements for your existing nonprofit or multifamily property.

Catalyst Provides Flexible Financing That Works

The Catalyst Construction to Term Loan (“Catalyst”) finances sustainable building solutions for mid-cycle properties*, including nonprofit-owned buildings and affordable and market-rate multifamily housing. Catalyst provides flexible financing and alternative security options and is designed to work efficiently for properties with senior mortgages or lien restrictions.

A limited portion of the Catalyst-funded work may include energy-related resiliency and health & safety remediation that must be addressed before energy improvements can be implemented.

Maximize Savings with Catalyst Loans: Seamlessly Integrate Financing and Leverage Incentives

Catalyst Loans are alternatively secured and designed to work seamlessly with existing mortgages and other restrictions on adding new debt.

Experience the benefits of partially, or even fully, repaying your loan through energy and operating cost savings generated by your improvements. Projected clean energy savings typically include decreased electric, heating, cooling, water use, operations, maintenance, and insurance costs.
