ATLANTA (21 de julio de 2025) - Peachtree Group («Peachtree»), una plataforma líder de inversiones inmobiliarias comerciales con integración vertical, anunció hoy el lanzamiento de su Peachtree Special Situations Fund, un fondo de 250 millones de dólares diseñado para desbloquear el valor de activos hoteleros y otros activos inmobiliarios comerciales de alta calidad y con precios incorrectos debido a la falta de liquidez actual del mercado de capitales, y no a los fundamentos subyacentes.
«Creemos que los próximos 12 a 18 meses ofrecen algunas de las oportunidades ajustadas al riesgo más atractivas que hemos visto desde la crisis financiera mundial», dijo Greg Friedman, director gerente y director ejecutivo de Peachtree. «A medida que se intensifican las tensiones en los balances y los obstáculos de refinanciación en el sector hotelero y otros sectores inmobiliarios comerciales, Peachtree se encuentra en una posición única para invertir capital donde más se necesita, ofreciendo rentabilidades atractivas y, al mismo tiempo, soluciones reales tanto para los patrocinadores como para los prestamistas».
Con casi 1 billón de dólares en préstamos inmobiliarios comerciales que vencen en 2025 y los hoteles soportan algunas de las mayores cargas de refinanciación y gastos de capital, el Fondo para Situaciones Especiales de Peachtree está en condiciones de intervenir cuando el capital tradicional se ha reducido.
Muchos propietarios de hoteles y bienes raíces comerciales que financiaron propiedades en la era de las tasas de interés cero ahora se enfrentan a brechas en sus acumulaciones de capital, ya que las tasas se mantienen elevadas y la liquidez se reduce. La estrategia de Peachtree cierra esta brecha al ofrecer soluciones creativas de capital protegidas contra las caídas para reposicionar los activos y liberar el valor incorporado.
«Este fondo trata de capitalizar la dislocación, no el caos», dijo Friedman. «Nos centramos en activos de alta calidad que no estén en crisis por factores sistemáticos sino por la estructura del capital, y lo hacemos con la velocidad, la creatividad y la certeza de ejecución que han definido la reputación de Peachtree durante más de una década».
El Fondo para Situaciones Especiales se centra en inversiones que se sitúan entre las de valor añadido y las oportunistas, y combina un atractivo potencial alcista con una protección significativa a la baja. Las estrategias principales incluyen:
· Adquisiciones fuera del mercado: asegurar hoteles de bajo rendimiento o con precios incorrectos, así como determinados sectores multifamiliares, de viviendas para estudiantes, autoalmacenamiento y otros sectores inmobiliarios comerciales para su reposicionamiento y estabilización.
· Soluciones de capital preferentes e híbridas: proporcionan capital flexible a los patrocinadores que necesitan liquidez para adquisiciones, desarrollo o refinanciación con estructuras diseñadas para proteger la base y mejorar los rendimientos actuales.
· Compras de prestamistas en dificultades: Adquirir activos directamente de los bancos mediante transacciones de escritura sustitutiva o posteriores a la ejecución hipotecaria, a menudo con descuentos en los saldos de los préstamos pendientes y muy por debajo del costo de reposición.
La plataforma totalmente integrada de Peachtree abarca los préstamos directos, la financiación de CPACE, el desarrollo, las adquisiciones y los mercados de capitales, y proporciona una perspectiva única sobre la dinámica cambiante del mercado. Las relaciones duraderas con los bancos comunitarios y regionales y otras partes interesadas permiten a Peachtree buscar oportunidades de alto valor antes de que lleguen al mercado en general.
«Somos la primera opción cuando un patrocinador o prestamista necesita una solución rápida y confiable», dijo Friedman. «La rapidez y la seguridad del cierre son fundamentales en este entorno, especialmente cuando se trata de paquetes de capital complejos y pagarés en dificultades».
El fondo se centra geográficamente en todo el país, y se espera un flujo de operaciones significativo en los mercados con sólidos fundamentos de demanda y recientes reajustes de precios, incluidos Texas, Florida y California. Peachtree espera cerrar su primer cierre en los próximos 60 a 90 días y completar el cierre final dentro de los 18 meses previstos tras el cierre inicial.

ATLANTA (Oct. 13, 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) announced today the launch of a new equipment finance division, further broadening its credit platform and reinforcing its ability to provide flexible equipment lease financing across industries, including commercial real estate and hospitality.
The division will be led by seasoned executives Brian Shaughnessy and Roger Johnson, who together bring more than 60 years of experience in equipment finance, specialty finance and portfolio acquisitions. They will be joined by experienced industry executive Dennis Shields, further strengthening the team’s depth and expertise. Shields spent the last 15 years with Meridian Leasing, helping to grow its profitable leasing business.
“This launch is more than the start of a new business line. It continues relationships that span more than 15 years,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s managing principal and CEO. “We have known and worked alongside Brian and Roger for well over a decade, watching them build reputations as trusted leaders in equipment finance. Their arrival marks both a reunion and a natural extension of our long-standing ties.”
This new platform represents a progression of Peachtree’s established private credit ecosystem. Many of the firm’s commercial real estate clients also require equipment financing, particularly in hospitality, where Furniture, Fixtures,and Equipment (FF&E) play a critical role in new developments. By building on the firm’s long-standing history and applying proven expertise from its principals’ experience financing essential use equipment, Peachtree is positioned to deliver tailored financing solutions that address client needs across multiple sectors and industries.
The launch highlights Peachtree’s ability to adapt its platform to fill gaps left by traditional lenders while keeping long-term client relationships at the center of its strategy.

“Large banks continue to pull back from serving small and mid-sized businesses, leaving a significant void in the market,” Friedman said. “Our new platform allows us to step in with creative financing solutions, whether that means helping medical facilities upgrade technology or supporting hotels with FF&E for new developments, so businesses can access the capital they need to grow.”
Shaughnessy, who joins as president and principal of the equipment finance division, is a senior executive with more than 35 years of experience in financial services and investment banking. He was most recently co-founder and CEO of IMT Commercial, an alternative portfolio and asset acquisition and management firm.
Johnson, who will serve as executive vice president and principal, is a 30-year portfolio acquisitions and commercial lending veteran. He has a proven track record of developing profitable relationships with C-suite decision-makers at a wide range of financial institutions. Both Shaughnessy and Johnson founded and grew IMT Commercial Credit into a top 120 equipment finance business.
The new unit will initially focus on financing lease transactions ranging from $500,000 to $10 million with terms generally between 24 and 84 months. By leveraging Peachtree’s established credit expertise, infrastructure and balance sheet strength, the division aims to deliver competitive financing options while ensuring timely funding and long-term client relationships.
“Equipment finance requires a deep understanding of the assets, from valuation to structuring and exit strategies,” said Shaughnessy. “Our team brings decades of specialized knowledge that allows us to evaluate risk effectively and deliver certainty of execution for clients.”
Johnson added,“Leasing involves extensive coordination with clients, vendors and lenders, and our goal is to make the process seamless. Clients can count on us not only to secure financing but also to manage the details that keep projects moving forward.”
“Equipment finance is a relationship-driven business where execution matters,” Shields, senior vice president, said. “Our goal is to combine decades of industry expertise with Peachtree’s deep credit platform to offer reliable, creative solutions to clients who are often underserved in today’s lending environment.”

Fortune | There’s no doubt that commercial real estate, and especially the office market, is undergoing a seismic transformation, one that’s not likely to abate any time soon. A boom time of near-zero-interest-rate policy, abundant liquidity, and cap rate compression over the past decade has given way to a perfect storm–a wall of maturing debt, tightened lending conditions, and cratering property values–all amid higher interest rates that show no sign of returning to their pre-2022 lows.
The outlook for the office sector has been particularly negative. It’s a tale of two markets right now: roughly 30% of office buildings account for 90% of the vacancies and may never recover, while the other 70% have the chance to stabilize over time. Either way, the office market finds itself at an inflection point, much like the retail market as mall acquisitions were being financed.
