Analyst, CRE Construction Lending

ABOUT CLEARWATER

Clearwater PACE, LLC (“Clearwater”) is a New York–based, institutionally backed direct lender providing C-PACE financing nationwide across all commercial real estate asset types. Our capital supports ground-up development, value-add repositioning, adaptive reuse, and recapitalizations of recently completed projects.

Led by seasoned real estate credit and structured finance professionals, Clearwater structures customized, credit-driven financing aligned with sponsor objectives, supported by fully assumable loan features and flexible prepayment terms. When paired with more expensive senior or bridge debt, C-PACE provides a cost-effective source of capital that lowers WACC and strengthens the overall capital stack.

We seek to hire the best and the brightest. Our team operates with autonomy, accountability, and a solutions-oriented mindset, contributing directly to the growth of a high-performance platform at the center of energy transition and structured-credit innovation.
