| | From Hotel To Home: How TX-PACE is Powering a Bold Transformation in Houston | | |
What was once an underutilized 1980s-era hotel is now reimagined as a vibrant, energy-efficient apartment community. The former America’s Airport Inn and Suites, a 110-room hotel built in 1983, is in the middle of a major transformation into a 137-unit market-rate multifamily complex. And at the heart of this exciting redevelopment is a powerful financing tool making it all possible: the Texas Property Assessed Clean Energy (TX-PACE) program.
