Laura Rapaport (Episode 1/2) on CPACE: A Smarter Way to Build the Capital Stack
About this episode
Laura Rapaport discusses CPACE and its significance in the commercial real estate capital stack.
In this episode, Jennifer Robertson sits down with Laura Rapaport , Founder & CEO of North Bridge , to demystify CPACE and its evolving role in today’s real estate capital stack. Laura explains what CPACE is, how it works, and why it should be viewed as an integral part of a commercial property capitalization — not just green financing. They explore how CPACE can be used across asset classes for new construction, value-add renovations, acquisitions, refinancings, and bridge capital. The conversation covers lookback financing, delayed draws, and how CPACE can lower the cost of capital, reduce recourse, and improve project viability.
