ATLANTA (April 2, 2024) – Peachtree Group ("Peachtree") ranked as the seventh largest U.S. commercial real estate investor-driven lender by the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA") 2023 loan origination rankings. In 2023, Peachtree deployed over $1.0 billion in commercial real estate credit investments.
Peachtree was also ranked as the tenth largest U.S. commercial real estate hotel lender, its third consecutive year in the top ten. In addition, the firm was among the leading lenders in the retail, multifamily, industrial and 'other' sectors.
"We have experienced a wave of activity since the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by the expectation of persistent high-interest rates and a constrained lending environment from banks," said Greg Friedman, Peachtree's CEO and managing principal. "With traditional lenders stepping back, we have seen a pronounced shift in the capital markets at a time when there is a steep increase in debt maturities within the industry, potentially nearing $1 trillion in this year alone."
Amid the debt market dislocation, Peachtree has already deployed nearly $1.0 billion in credit transactions this year.
"The tidal wave of maturities and trillions of dollars more through 2028 favors private credit lenders like Peachtree to capitalize on these opportunities and close the funding gap left by traditional capital channels," Friedman said.
As a direct commercial real estate lender, Peachtree offers permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans commercial property-assessed clean energy (CPACE) financing and preferred equity investments across all commercial real estate sectors.
Stakeholders in the commercial real estate arena are navigating through this era marked by rising capital costs and limited liquidity. These conditions are particularly challenging when securing necessary capital for acquisitions, recapitalization and development initiatives.
"Years of dedicated effort in building our capital foundation have equipped us to support real estate owners in executing their business strategies, a commitment that remains firm even during uncertain times," Friedman concluded.

Observador comercial | Peachtree Group otorgó el préstamo sénior para construcción a 30 meses y 34 millones de dólares con una opción de prórroga de 12 meses para los Heartland Flats Apartments planificados por la promotora con sede en Nebraska.
Observador comercial - Kirkland Development ha sellado 53,3 millones de dólares en financiación de energía limpia evaluada por propiedades comerciales (C-PACE) para ejecutar mejoras de eficiencia energética y resiliencia en una comunidad residencial planificada en el suroeste de Washington, justo al norte de Portland, Oregon, según ha informado Commercial Observer.
Peachtree Group cerró el préstamo CPACE a 30 años para el desarrollo The Ledges at Palisades de Kirkland en Camas, Washington. The Ledges consta de 51 condominios y 90 apartamentos de alquiler cuya finalización está prevista para finales de 2025. Los fondos del préstamo se destinarán a financiar las mejoras de sostenibilidad, los costos indirectos que cumplan con los requisitos y las mejoras en la resiliencia, el sistema de climatización, la iluminación y las tuberías de la propiedad de cinco pisos.
Jared Schlosser, vicepresidente sénior de Peachtree Group, dijo que el préstamo ayudará a completar el proyecto planificado desde hace mucho tiempo y que se estancó durante la pandemia de la COVID-19, y añadió que subraya cómo se puede utilizar el C-PACE para llevar los proyectos a la meta.
«El PACE es una excelente herramienta, especialmente en mitad de la construcción, porque en este caso hubo algunos sobrecostos y algunos retrasos debido a la COVID y otras cosas, por lo que esto realmente ayudó a impulsar el proyecto», dijo Schlosser. «Hemos financiado algunas de las partidas ya terminadas, así como parte de la financiación futura que será necesaria para terminar el proyecto».
Observador comercial | Peachtree Group creó el préstamo puente a tasa variable para los hoteles Courtyard by Marriott de 151 habitaciones y Residence Inn de 130 habitaciones de 4G Ventures, ubicados uno al lado del otro cerca de la esquina de Frank Sinatra Drive y Cook Street en Palm Desert. El acuerdo tiene un plazo inicial de dos años con tres opciones de prórroga de 12 meses.
