ATLANTA (May 2, 2025) - Peachtree Group, a leading commercial real estate investment firm with a multi billion-dollar portfolio of equity and debt investments, has launched its latest hotel property structured as a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), the 114-key Residence Inn Ocean Township, located along the Jersey Shore in N.J. This marks Peachtree’s eighth DST offering since launching the program in 2022.

“This newly developed property represents everything we look for in a DST offering, strong market fundamentals, a leading extended-stay brand and long-term upside driven by secular tailwinds in travel,” said Tim Witt, president of 1031 Exchange/DST Products at Peachtree.

Residence Inn Ocean Township is located in Monmouth County, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., known for its high median incomes and vibrant year-round economy. The hotel benefits from proximity to popular beach destinations such as Asbury Park, Long Branch and Sandy Hook, supporting steady leisure demand. The region’s diverse economy, anchored by healthcare, education and technology, drives consistent lodging needs throughout the year. Looking ahead, Netflix is investing $900 million to redevelop nearby Fort Monmouth into its primary East Coast production hub, a project expected to create 3,500 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs, as well as further boost hospitality demand.

“With the opening of Residence Inn Ocean Township in 2024, we’re providing investors access to a debt-free, income-generating asset in a premier coastal market. It’s a strategic fit for investors seeking tax deferral through a 1031 exchange while preserving exposure to one of the most resilient sectors in commercial real estate,” Witt said.

Peachtree’s DST properties present a compelling option for 1031 exchange investors seeking to reinvest proceeds from the sale of appreciated real estate while deferring taxes and maintaining exposure to the hotel sector. The firm’s eight DST offerings total more than $220 million in debt-free real estate transactions, each aligned with Peachtree’s core strategy of acquiring recognized hotel brands in high-growth markets, pursuing value-add opportunities and leveraging experienced hotel management teams to drive long-term performance and value creation.

Peachtree continues to align with the core principles of the 1031 exchange, offering investors a seamless and tax-efficient path to transition capital gains into passive income-producing real estate investments.
