In the latest episode of Peachtree Point of View, host Greg Friedman delves into the world of private credit lending with Daniel Siegel, head of Peachtree Group's commercial real estate lending platform. Together, they unpack how today's evolving market landscape is opening doors to compelling private credit investments.
The market is at an inflection point, with treasury yields north of 4.5% and nearly $2 trillion in commercial real estate loans maturing over the next 24 months. Siegel observes, "If you bought in 2020-2022, there's a good chance you've experienced some value deterioration." This trend has pressured multifamily valuations, which have dropped by 20-25%, yet fundamentals remain solid, with properties continuing to maintain healthy occupancy.
The discussion highlights an intriguing paradox: while many assets face valuation challenges, they continue to perform well operationally. This disconnect is creating opportunities for sophisticated investors, particularly as banks contend with increasing regulatory pressure to reduce their commercial real estate exposure. Siegel shares an interesting case study of a Massachusetts multifamily project where his team stepped in to provide a creative financing solution that benefited both the original lender and the borrower.
The episode also offers nuanced insights into various property sectors. As mentioned, multifamily, while grappling with near-term pricing pressure, holds strong long-term fundamentals. Hospitality demonstrates remarkable resilience, leveraging its daily pricing power. Retail has emerged stronger after years of supply rationalization. Conversely, office assets present a mixed picture—Class A properties maintain performance, while secondary assets face substantial challenges.
For investors exploring private credit opportunities, Siegel emphasizes the importance of working with experienced managers equipped with the infrastructure for loan servicing and workouts. "It's easy to write loans," he notes. "It's the infrastructure needed to work them out that matters."
Drawing on Peachtree Group's 17-year track record and over $11 billion in commercial real estate investments, the discussion underscores the firm's ability to provide creative financing solutions while maintaining conservative underwriting (typically 65-70% LTV).This approach has helped the firm to capitalize on market dislocations while effectively managing risk.
With its seasoned expertise and innovative strategies, Peachtree Group continues to lead the way in delivering strong risk-adjusted returns on its investments. This episode is filled with actionable insights and strategic guidance for navigating today's complex market environment.
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».
