Highpoint One and Highpoint Two Office Towers, Mokena, Illinois

Oak Brook, Ill. – Inland Green Capital LLC (“Inland Green Capital”), an environmental finance and investment company, announced the closing and funding of a commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“C-PACE”) transaction in Mokena, Illinois. Inland Green Capital was selected to finance $250,000 in energy efficient improvements for the 20-year-old Highpoint One and Highpoint Two office towers. The transaction marked the first C-PACE financing and closing in Will County.

The funding, which closed in December 2021, will provide 100 percent financing for rooftop solar PV installations and roof replacements. The C-PACE project is expected to provide the two buildings with approximately $265,000 in savings over the 25-year financing term, while creating an average of 66 percent of their own overall energy and saving over 1,000 metric tons of CO2e from entering the atmosphere.

“Inland Green Capital helped us through process of getting all the necessary approvals, quickly and on time,” said John Olivieri, managing partner of Laraway Center LLC. “They are a pleasure to work with on financing solar projects.”

Inland Green Capital specializes in C-PACE financings for PACE project initiatives throughout the country.

“Inland Green Capital is particularly excited about closing this renewable energy deal as the very first in Will County, creating the pathway for more clean energy projects to be developed over the next year and into the future!,” exclaims Anna Maria Kowalik, director of business development for Inland Green Capital.  “Will County, with its strong industrial and manufacturing base, as well as some aging building stock, is prime for a ‘greening’ of facilities spanning the gamut. We look forward to continuing to contribute to this effort.”
