Utah once again ranked No. 1 in the nation in 2025 in the American Legislative Exchange Council’s (ALEC) economic outlook index, marking its 18th consecutive year at the top and earning high marks for overall performance, labor participation and business affordability. These strengths, paired with ongoing population and job growth, continue to reinforce consistent long-term demand for rental housing across the Wasatch Front. Against this backdrop, rent trends are beginning to shift. After several years of rent stagnation driven by elevated supply, rent growth is positioned to rebound in the second half of 2026. The past three years were characterized by relatively flat asking rents, but CBRE’s analysis indicates that future rent growth is approaching as new deliveries decline and supply is absorbed. This shift is largely the result of two converging factors: a meaningful slowdown in new construction starts — driven by higher interest rates and sustained construction cost pressures — and persistently strong absorption, which places Utah among the top-performing absorption markets in …

C-PACE and Gross Leases: An Affordable Housing Solution

by Hayden Spiess

By Bert Belanger, PACE Equity Seemingly every week, a commercial real estate publication publishes a story warning that nine out of 10 markets in America need more affordable housing units.  Switching to an “all-bills-paid” mindset and utilizing Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing can help address this quandary. Going Through the PACEs In early 2021, after a 40-year career as a real estate lawyer, consultant and developer focused on affordable housing, I began “selling money.” By this, I mean that I was sourcing capital for PACE Equity, a Milwaukee-based private debt firm focused on providing C-PACE funding.  Since C-PACE was new to my home state of Oklahoma, I was initially unfamiliar with its characteristics, but the practice of so-called “green building” was something I had experienced firsthand.   I hoped that my mixture of experience might make me a unicorn — a guy who knew how to meld obtuse government subsidized housing tools with C-PACE, all for the greater good.  However, I have quickly learned that mixing C-PACE with government-assisted housing financing tools is a non-starter.   Why?  Because cash flows within government-subsidized financings are thin by design, leaving no room for debt service beyond a small senior loan.
