At Bridgemer, we know that grass growing on the roof of a building eases the impact of heavy downpours on municipal sewers by slowing water runoff and reduces the amount of heat the roof reflects back into the city on hot summer days. We also know that the usual sources of capital do not necessarily place the appropriate valuation on "green" features that make buildings more hospitable to their environment and the people inside and outside. Bridgemer does. Our sources of capital are available to provide debt and equity finance for green buildings, whether a new construction or a renovation.
As an investor in real estate, we know that green design has financial advantages. Investment returns can benefit from reduced energy costs or improve revenues by creating an attractive workspace or retail shopping experience that uses natural daylight to boost business.
If you would like to join our program to invest in green buildings or if you have a green building project requiring financing, please contact Bridgemer at inquire@bridgemer.com to learn more about our program.
