What is CPACE Financing?

No matter the market, reducing the cost of your capital stack is always important. C-PACE financing, alternatively known as PACE financing, is a source of capital that has become more interesting to first mortgage lenders as the proceeds can be used to pay down your first mortgage and size a new interest reserve.

Avoid Political Noise When Investing: A Market Update with Larry Adam, Raymond James

Peachtree Group hosted Larry Adam the Chief Investment Officer of Raymond James for a recent Market Call. Larry talked about the importance of staying invested throughout political cycles like the upcoming US Presidential election.

In our recent market update call, we hear insights from Larry Adam the Chief Investment Officer of Raymond James, alongside Greg Friedman, Managing Principal & CEO of Peachtree Group and Daniel Savage, VP Equity Capital Markets of Peachtree Group. One of the standout moments from the discussion was an intriguing investment takeaway that highlights the importance of consistent investing over trying to time the market based on political cycles.

Investment Insights Through the Decades

Consider this: if you had invested $10,000 in the stock market starting in 1970 and only remained invested during Republican presidencies, your investment would have grown to approximately $133,000 by now. Conversely, if you had only stayed invested during Democratic presidencies, your portfolio would have soared to around $700,000.

Now, here’s where the numbers become even more compelling. If you had stayed fully invested in the market, regardless of which party was in power, that initial $10,000 would have appreciated to an impressive $1.6 million!

The Lesson: Stay the Course

Timing the market based on political affiliation has proven to be less effective than maintaining a consistent investment strategy. As Larry Adam pointed out, It's more important to be in the market than trying to find the market. I think that's a critical lesson…”

The volatility that comes with political changes can tempt investors to pull back or make hasty decisions. However, history shows that those who remain patient and invested through all market conditions tend to reap the greatest rewards.

The key is to be in the market, not trying to outsmart it.

Peachtree Group Launches Restaurant Management Division

Peachtree announces Partnership with AdventHealth with First Licensed Starbucks Location in Orlando.

ATLANTA (SEPT 4, 2024) – Peachtree Group, a vertically integrated investment management firm, has launched a restaurant management division. Under the leadership of Daniel Puglisi, SVP of corporate operations for hospitality management, this division will focus on operating quick-service restaurants, starting with coffee shops.

This new venture underscores Peachtree Group's commitment to expanding its footprint in the hospitality industry, beginning with a high-profile partnership with AdventHealth and launching a Starbucks location in its AdventHealth Orlando hospital.

From left to right: Nikki Garcia (Food and Beverage Manager, Peachtree Group), Ashleigh De Otis (Starbucks Store Manager, Peachtree Group),Rob Deininger (CEO AdventHealth Orlando) and Dan Puglisi (SVP, Peachtree Group)

The U.S. Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) market was valued at approximately$320 billion in 2023, encompassing major chains like McDonald's and smaller regional players. Coffee shops, including big names like Starbucks, Caribou Coffee and Dunkin', make up 12-15% of this market, contributing tens of billions in annual revenue.

"Since our founding in 2007, we have consistently grown by identifying inefficient markets and capitalizing on them to achieve strong returns and build sustainable businesses," said Greg Friedman, Peachtree Group’s managing principal and CEO. "The expansion into restaurants from our existing hospitality management capabilities was a natural evolution.  Our partnership with AdventHealth marks a significant milestone as we look to replicate this successful model across their network and other captive locations."

The Starbucks at AdventHealth Orlando is now open and is the first storeto be opened under this new division. It is strategically positioned within the hospital's flagship university campus, featuring a two-story glass storefronton a prominent corner. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance patient satisfaction and provide convenient, high-quality service to hospital visitors and staff.

Peachtree Group is also in discussions with other coffee franchise offerings and aims to extend its reach to high profile or high demand markets with captive audiences. The goal is to establish a robust portfolio of high-profile quick-service coffee shop locations nationwide.

The new division will oversee all new and existing restaurant locations not within its own portfolio of hotels. This includes transitioning its downtown Orlando Starbucks location at its dual-branded Hilton Garden Inn andHome2 Suites by Hilton to the restaurant management division.

"Our commitment to excellence in service and operational efficiency sets us apart in the industry. By leveraging our extensive hospitality expertise and premium brand partnerships, we are able to deliver exceptional experiences to our customers and value to our landlord partners," Puglisi said.

This initiative follows a year-long development process, beginning with a lease agreement signed in August 2023 and construction commencing in February2024. Peachtree Group has toured several other AdventHealth campuses, laying the groundwork for future expansions.

Peachtree Group's strategic approach and customer service mindset have been key factors in securing this partnership. As other hospital systems observe the positive impact on AdventHealth's patient satisfaction scores and asset enhancement, Peachtree Group anticipates a growing demand for similar arrangements.

"We are excited about the potential to grow this venture rapidly, with an initial goal of reaching five stores as a beta test and ultimately aiming for 100 locations," Puglisi added. "Our focus is on hospitals, universities and other high-traffic, high-visibility locations where we can make the most significant impact."
