Inc. 5000 and Fast 50: PLG on the Rise

From expanding staff to opening new offices and growing our capital markets team, the past few years have been ones of remarkable growth for PACE Loan Group. As a result, PLG, a leader in C-PACE financing, was recently recognized on both the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal Fast 50 list and the Inc. 5000 list for fastest-growing private companies in America.

"PLG has grown tremendously since I started the company back in 2017," said CEO Rafi Golberstein. "From the start, I knew I wanted to build an experienced and diverse company committed to disrupting the CRE industry, and that's what PLG is doing with C-PACE. I’m proud of the amazing team that makes this a possibility."

This marks the third consecutive year that PACE Loan Group has earned a spot on the Fast 50 list, recognizing us as one of the fastest-growing private firms in the Twin Cities area and showcasing our leadership in C-PACE lending.

PLG also made its debut on the Inc 5000 list this year, ranking #493—an impressive milestone that reflects our strong growth. We ranked #34 in Financial Services and #10 in Minnesota, underscoring our impact in both our industry and local economy.

Beyond Minnesota, our expansion includes new opportunities in major markets like New York City, where NYC C-PACE financing is helping property owners and developers modernize buildings, improve energy efficiency, and strengthen long-term sustainability. By bringing flexible pace loans to both established and emerging markets, PLG continues to help drive commercial real estate growth nationwide.
