This year marks a watershed moment for commercial real estate stakeholders. The erratic nature of the market demands a deep understanding of financial tools and the willingness to embrace alternative approaches. Success hinges on adaptability, innovation and a thorough grasp of market dynamics. While the headwinds are expected to persist, this environment offers unique opportunities for those who are prepared.

Peachtree Group CEO Greg Friedman wrote about those challenges in this blog post: 2025 CRE Market Forecast: Adapting to Disruption.

Below, the Peachtree Group team shares their insights into how the market is evolving and their strategies for overcoming challenges and capitalizing on the opportunities in this transformative period for the commercial real estate industry.

 

“2025 could mark the end of the 'kicking the can' era in commercial real estate, as outside pressures - banks, brands and partnerships - force transactions that can no longer be delayed. We've already seen the shift begin in late 2024, with assets that stalled during prior marketing cycles resurfacing under note sales and distress-driven deals. As equity takes a backseat and control shifts to outside parties, prepared investors will find unique opportunities in this evolving landscape.”   
Michael Bernath, SVP Acquisitions & Dispositions

 

"With debt maturities as the primary catalyst for capital events, the elevated interest rate environment and shifting property fundamentals are driving investors toward alternative strategies such as rescue capital, preferred equity and special situations. Borrower indecision and bank disagreements are fueling loan sales, while partnerships face stress from owner fatigue and capital calls, creating opportunities for M&A and large-scale equity trades. Against a backdrop of geopolitical risk, inflation and rising fixed costs, innovative and strategic approaches are essential for achieving growth."
Michael Ritz, EVP, Investments

 

“Banks, buoyed by strong reserves, are expected to sell commercial real estate loans as they manage risk exposure, address tighter regulatory requirements and free up capital. This trend will likely increase note transactions, offering investors access to discounted or even distressed assets. The market is also witnessing a significant rise in hybrid credit structures, blending debt and equity characteristics to provide flexible capital to borrowers while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns to investors. The shifting environment in which traditional financing avenues are evolving presents opportunities for those equipped to navigate this chaotic market."
Jeremy Stoler, EVP, Debt Capital Markets

 

“In anticipation that public equities markets will generate lower annual returns over the next decade than in the decade prior, investors will increasingly seek alpha through alternative investments. Foreign capital partners in certain geographies and markets will continue to turn to U.S. commercial real estate to hedge against currency and geopolitical risks. Meanwhile, sponsor and LP fatigue will create a fertile environment for secondaries, special situations and structured finance deals, where fundamentally strong assets with challenged capital structures may be acquired or recapped at attractive valuations.”
Daniel Savage, VP Investments & Strategy, Equity Capital Markets

 

“The EB-5 program offers commercial real estate developers a distinctive advantage by providing lower-cost capital that enhances investment returns while creating jobs and driving economic growth. By including EB-5 financing into their capital stack, developers can better navigate stricter lending conditions and rising construction costs. This approach not only maximizes value but also positions the property for long-term success.”
Adam Greene, EVP, EB-5 Program

 

Lenders holding post-COVID distressed loans, recognizing they won't recover cash flow, are preparing to liquidate in 2025, creating opportunities for strategic buyers. However, a 'higher-for-longer' interest rate environment continues to stall the transaction market, as sellers resist trading at elevated cap rates, prolonging the bid-ask gap."
Jared Schlosser, EVP, Hotel Lending & Head of CPACE

 

“The commercial real estate development landscape continues to evolve, and the fundamentals of the hospitality industry enable it to standout as a strong and flexible sector ready to take advantage of new opportunities. With generally higher cap rates, supply growth well under the long-run average and strong investor appetite in areas supported by the federally backed Opportunity Zone program, the hotel industry is well-positioned to lead new projects, especially in infill locations. This growth shows how development will move forward, even as other real estate sectors face tougher challenges and economic struggles.”
Will Woodworth, VP, Investments

Administración hotelera | Pregunte a los expertos: ¿cuál es la mejor inversión hotelera en este momento?

En una conversación reciente con la administración hotelera, Brian Waldman, director de inversiones de Peachtree Group, hizo hincapié en la importancia de las inversiones oportunistas en el mercado hotelero actual.

En una conversación reciente con Administración hotelera, Brian Waldman, director de inversiones de Peachtree Group, hizo hincapié en la importancia de las inversiones oportunistas en el mercado hotelero actual. Si bien los hoteles de marca premium, de servicio selecto y compactos de servicio completo, por lo general, se mantienen estables a lo largo de los ciclos del mercado, Waldman señaló que las oportunidades más atractivas suelen surgir de situaciones únicas, en lugar de ceñirse estrictamente a una escala o tecnología de cadena única.

Waldman también destacó la importancia de la transparencia en la financiación hotelera. Aconsejó a los propietarios que hablaran con los prestamistas de forma abierta sobre los posibles desafíos y desviaciones respecto de los planes, ya que la transparencia temprana fomenta la credibilidad y la resolución colaborativa de los problemas, lo cual es crucial para sortear las incertidumbres financieras.

El enfoque de Peachtree Group se alinea con estas ideas y se centra en inversiones estratégicas que aprovechan tanto las oportunidades de mercado como la eficiencia operativa. Su cartera refleja el compromiso de identificar y capitalizar situaciones en las que se pueda aumentar el valor mediante acciones decisivas y asociaciones transparentes.
