What GreenRock does

GreenRock Capital LLC is a U.S. specialty real estate finance company that originates, advises, and structures Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing for commercial and multifamily property owners, developers, and sponsors. Founded in 2014 (per company history) and headquartered in Larkspur, California, the firm operates a direct enterprise field-sales model originating long-term, fixed-rate, non-recourse capital repaid via voluntary property tax assessments. Its core product is C-PACE, complemented by H-PACE — a trademarked, healthcare-exclusive variant covering hospitals, senior housing, life science projects, and medical office buildings — and GoldenState PACE, a California-specific sub-brand. GreenRock also markets PACE360, a four-step process (assessment, structuring, underwriting and funding, post-close engagement) used to guide clients through transaction execution. The firm works in partnership with senior lenders, municipal bond underwriters, and program administrators (e.g., J.P. Morgan, KeyBanc, ORIX, JLL, CSCDA) to deliver complex tax-exempt and taxable structured deals across 38 states plus D.C. (22 with active programs). GreenRock's business model is transaction-fee based, with origination and closing fees generated on each closed deal; the company is privately held, founder/management-owned with no disclosed external institutional capital, and is led by co-founders Chris Robbins and Joe Euphrat alongside principals and senior executives with backgrounds in healthcare operations, capital markets, and commercial real estate.
