If you own a building in Texas, you know how unpredictable storms can be. One minute, it’s business as usual; the next, you’re dealing with roof damage, flooded HVAC systems, and soaring repair costs. It’s frustrating, expensive, and—unfortunately—becoming more common.

The good news? Storm damage doesn’t have to drain your budget. With the right approach, you can rebuild stronger and smarter—without taking on massive debt or delaying other important projects.

TX-PACE: A Smarter Way to Rebuild and Protect Your Investment

Texas Property Assessed Clean Energy (TX-PACE) financing is a game-changer for property owners facing storm repairs. Instead of pulling from your capital budget or taking on new debt, TX-PACE covers 100% of eligible upgrades. You repay it over time through a voluntary property assessment—often with payments that are lower than the savings generated by the improvements. That means you can fix storm damage, make your building more resilient, and keep your cash flow intact.

How TX-PACE Can Help After a Storm

If your building took a hit, or if you’re looking to prevent future damage, here’s how TX-PACE can make a difference:

• Roof Leaks & Damage? Upgrade to a storm-resistant, energy-efficient roof that helps lower cooling costs.
• Flooded HVAC? Replace outdated systems with high-efficiency models designed to withstand extreme conditions.
• Water Damage? Install water-saving plumbing, sump pumps, and moisture-resistant materials to protect against future flooding.
• Power Outages? Add onsite power generation, battery storage and microgrid solutions to keep your building running no matter what.
• Broken Windows & Poor Insulation? Swap them out for high-performance versions that improve comfort and cut energy bills.

Why TX-PACE Just Makes Sense

• No Upfront Costs – Stop worrying about how to afford critical repairs.
• Lower Operating Expenses – Energy and water savings can cover repayment costs.
• Stronger, More Resilient Buildings – Reduce your risk of future storm damage.
• Boost Property Value – Efficient, modern buildings attract tenants and lower insurance premiums.

Real Results: Resilient Design in Rockport, Texas

The team behind The Tide on 35, a 264-unit multifamily development in coastal Rockport, used TX-PACE to go above and beyond standard building codes. Located in a hurricane-prone area, the project integrated resilient energy measures from the start—including superior building envelope insulation across walls, windows, and roofs.

Think of it like a high-quality cooler: better insulation helps maintain indoor temperatures longer during power outages, providing comfort and safety.

Thanks to PACE financing, the developer not only met building and hurricane code but exceeded it with smart, energy-forward design that will keep the building operating more efficiently—even during extreme weather events.
