Activate Renewables

An energy-focused financial institution makes the short walk from Port Authority worth the trip. New York City lenders handle capital stacks too, and one option on the 9th floor of 1166 6th Avenue zeroes in on renewables. The firm pairs tax equity syndications with cash-flow modeling, but it also keeps a close eye on emerging green-bond frameworks. Local developers tell us they book time specifically for PACE financing walkthroughs rather than leaving it to chance.

Find the office on the 9th floor—1166 6th Ave, 10036, across from the old McGraw-Hill tower. The area’s subway hubs funnel in commuters from every borough, so timing an appointment between trains is straightforward. Up on the 9th floor they stage loan-board packets at the front desk, so arriving five minutes early prevents shuffling once you’re upstairs. Practically framed, the building’s directory drops you at the right elevator bank without circling back to ground level.

Direct questions to the intake line: (833) 292-1122. Need the skyline route? Plug the ftid link into your phone for step-by-step directions straight to the 9th floor. They’ll text a QR code for the elevator lobby, saving the hunt for a lobby kiosk.
