EnviroFinance Group (EFG) specializes in financing the redevelopment of contaminated properties, commonly known as brownfields, throughout the United States.
EFG’s unique approach to brownfield redevelopment funding allows remediation, horizontal and/or vertical construction activities to occur simultaneously to facilitate faster and more cost-effective projects.
EFG’s brownfield financing is a catalyst to the expansion of urban infill development and renewal projects as well as the revitalization of rural communities, returning blighted properties to productive use and increasing local tax revenues. Borrowers include commercial
land owners, real estate developers and public entities.
EFG funding can be used for contaminated site acquisition, remediation/cleanup, pre development costs, horizontal/vertical construction, or any combination of these activities.
EFG is flexible in its lending and underwriting approach and tailors each brownfield loan to the specific needs of its clients and their environmental redevelopment projects.
