DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lone Star PACE, a leading administrator of Texas’ Property Assessed Clean Energy program, today announced it facilitated $27M in retroactive C-PACE financing for the award-winning HALL Arts Hotel in the Dallas Arts District.
Financing proceeds will recapitalize previously installed sustainable upgrades that save energy and water, including improvements to the building’s envelope, electrical, lighting, HVAC and plumbing systems.
Lee McCormick, president of Lone Star PACE, said: “It was an honor to partner with HALL Group on this groundbreaking luxury hotel in Downtown Dallas’ burgeoning Arts District.

C-PACE helps reduce energy and water consumption at commercial and industrial buildings by providing low-cost, long-term, fixed-rate financing for sustainable upgrades. Property owners can use C-PACE to finance new construction as well as building renovations or retrofits.
Designed by HKS Architects with interiors by Bentel & Bentel, the 11-story HALL Arts Hotel includes 183 guest rooms and 19 suites, all featuring privately curated art collections. In addition to lodging, HALL Arts offers premier event space for corporate and social gatherings. An award-winning eatery, Ellie’s Restaurant & Lounge, is also available on-site.
