Peachtree Group cierra un préstamo CPACE de 176,5 millones de dólares para la renovada torre Rio Hotel & Casino en Las Vegas

ATLANTA (18 de agosto de 2024) — Peachtree Group («Peachtree») inició la mayor transacción crediticia de su historia al cerrar un préstamo retroactivo de 176,5 millones de dólares para energía limpia evaluada por propiedades comerciales («CPACE») para el Rio Hotel & Casino («Río») recientemente renovado de 2.520 habitaciones de Dreamscape Companies en Las Vegas, Nevada. La operación, que se concretó en menos de 60 días, es una de las más importantes Financiaciones de CPACE alguna vez completado en los Estados Unidos.

El Rio, ahora bajo la marca Destinations by Hyatt, es un complejo con casino que cuenta con dos torres hoteleras, Ipanema y Masquerade, conectadas por un casino, restaurantes y establecimientos minoristas. Las renovaciones finalizadas en 2024 incluyeron una transformación total de las suites para huéspedes de la Torre Ipanema, una planta de casino rediseñada y mejoras significativas en varios establecimientos de comida y bebida. El plan integral de mejoras de la propiedad también incluyó mejoras en el exterior, la modernización de la planta central de calefacción y refrigeración, la mejora de la infraestructura eléctrica y la renovación del centro de convenciones.

«Este acuerdo pone de relieve un punto de inflexión para CPACE, ya que algunas de las instituciones financieras más grandes del país han dado su consentimiento a su uso porque ven un claro beneficio para la pila de capital», dijo Jared Schlosser, director de originaciones y CPACE de Peachtree. «Al cerrar rápidamente la compra de un importante activo hotelero, pudimos fortalecer la posición tanto del propietario como de sus prestamistas».

El préstamo CPACE financió retroactivamente las renovaciones, lo que permitió a los propietarios pagar su préstamo preferente. La financiación retroactiva de la CPACE ofrece una clara ventaja, ya que permite reembolsar el 100% de los fondos recaudados en función de los costes del proyecto finalizado.

«Esta transacción no solo es un hito histórico para Peachtree Group, sino también un testimonio del ecosistema que hemos construido en los últimos 18 años», dijo Greg Friedman, director gerente y director ejecutivo de Peachtree. «A través de nuestra plataforma integrada verticalmente, nuestra amplia experiencia y nuestro enfoque disciplinado, hemos desarrollado la infraestructura para ser líderes en el ámbito del crédito privado. Nuestra capacidad para ofrecer rapidez, creatividad y seguridad en la ejecución nos posiciona para ofrecer soluciones de capital que generen valor para nuestros inversores y socios a lo largo de los ciclos del mercado».

El mercado de CPACE ha superado los 10 000 millones de dólares en ingresos acumulados en EE. UU. en poco más de una década, según la Alianza C-PACE, y se espera un fuerte crecimiento a medida que más propietarios y prestamistas institucionales reconozcan su valor. «Vemos enormes oportunidades en el futuro para el CPACE con carácter retroactivo y su uso para financiar nuevos desarrollos inmobiliarios comerciales», afirmó Schlosser. «Es una alternativa atractiva a las formas de capital más caras».

Peachtree es uno de los prestamistas de CPACE más activos del país, con más de 1500 millones de dólares en originaciones. La plataforma crediticia de la firma abarca préstamos de CPACE, puentes, entrepisos y para la construcción, y ofrece soluciones de capital creativas para todos los ciclos del mercado.

Peachtree Group Originates $73 million in Construction and CPACE Financing

Peachtree Group originated $73MM in construction and CPACE financing for the development of a 263-room, dual-brand Home2Suites and Tru by Hilton hotel in San Diego, California.

ATLANTA (Jan. 17, 2024) – Officials of Peachtree Group today announced that the company originated $73 million in a construction loan and CPACE financing for the development of a 263-room dual-brand Home2 Suites (130-key) and Tru by Hilton Hotel (133-key) in San Diego, Calif., on behalf of Baxter Hotel Group, a San Diego‐based, vertically integrated real estate development and management company.  Baxter plans to begin construction on its 16-story, dual-branded hotel this month and expects a22-month construction timetable.

The Peachtree Group team originated a $50.4 million floating-rate construction loan over a three-year term and $22.6 million of fixed-rate commercial property clean energy (CPACE) financing amortized over 25 years, which in total represented 64% of the total development cost.

“We were able to execute an innovative capital stack with the addition of CPACE in an otherwise difficult financing market that provided ample capital for the construction to begin while saving the sponsor 200 basis points in interest rate spread,” said Jared Schlosser, Peachtree’s senior vice president, head of hotel origination and CPACE.

The construction budget has CPACE-eligible items, including seismic improvements, lighting, building envelope, HVAC, plumbing and qualifying soft costs.

The hotel will be located at 1357 5th Avenue and will cater to transient and extended-stay guests, offering a new product that has been historically underserved in the market. The high-quality amenities proposed are not typically seen in limited-service hotels, like sustainable designs to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, a ground-floor restaurant and a rooftop pool fully equipped with a restaurant and bar offering panoramic views of Downtown San Diego.

CPACE: An Affordable Solution for Mid-Construction Capital

CPACE financing is an innovative solution offering low-cost, long-term capital that can also be retrofitted.

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) is an innovative financing program that is gaining popularity across the U.S., as it offers a low-cost, long-term capital solution that doesn't require upfront equity from the property owners. The central appeal for using this program for energy-efficient upgrades and retrofits is that any level of C-PACE used will lower the overall cost of capital compared to mezzanine, third-party equity or even many senior loans. This is impactful for commercial property developers.

In the current market, the cost of capital has increased significantly, along with higher interest rates and wider spreads from lenders. In addition, higher financing costs put pressure on loan-to-value (LTV), loan-to-cost (LTC) ratios, and the amount of capital lenders are willing to provide, reducing liquidity for new developments. Construction costs have also increased significantly with back-to-back years of double-digit increases, with further increases in 2023 as CBRE expects a growth of 5.4% for construction costs.

Low-Cost, Fixed-Rate Capital

C-PACE is in heavy demand because it's a fixed-rate product, starting in the mid-single digits. It also can be up to 35% of the capital stack. With a typical senior loan at 65% loan-to-value, providing C-PACE at 30% of the stack, the lender becomes below 40%, lessening its capital risk. As a result, it is helping development projects across all real estate sectors pencil to start construction and those in mid-construction reach get completed.

Mid-Construction Case Studies

Today we see more requests for this financing as budgets are blowing out with cost overruns. C-PACE provides the needed capital when the developer cannot offer additional equity or banks are unwilling. The following are examples of mid-construction projects that utilized C-PACE funding from Peachtree to bring projects across the finish line.

  • C-PACE for Cost Overruns. A developer faced roughly $2 million in cost overruns for a five-story, 58-key hotel in Florida that was 65% complete. Peachtree provided the developer $4.5 million in C-PACE financing with a 30-year term of 6.82%.C-PACE.
  • Can be Utilized Retroactively. One of the benefits of C-PACE for mid-construction projects is it can be used retroactively. Similar financing was utilized to construct a $32 million multifamily and retail project in Rehoboth, Delaware. Construction on the project began in January 2021 and was 40% completed. Peachtree provided the developer $4.8 million in C-PACE financing with a 25-year term at 7.25%. Most of the funds were used retroactively for the building envelope, HVAC, lighting, plumbing, elevator, seismic and other qualifying soft costs.
