2022년 이전에 대출자들은 거의 0에 가까운 금리로 대출을 확보할 수 있는 기회를 10년 이상 누렸으며, 이는 상업용 부동산 시장의 성장과 확장을 촉진했습니다.오늘날, 은행들이 상업용 부동산에 대한 노출을 줄임으로써 훨씬 높은 이자율 환경에서 전례 없는 규모의 대출이 만기되고 있습니다.이러한 상황에도 불구하고 대출 수요는 계속 증가하고 있습니다.
역사적으로 볼 때 금리 인상으로 대출 수요가 급증했다면 신용 위기가 다가오고 있다는 경고 신호였습니다.하지만 최근 경제지표에서는 이러한 패턴에서 벗어난 것으로 보입니다. 은행들은 까다로운 대출 기준을 유지하고 있음에도 불구하고 대출 활동이 증가했다고 보고하고 있습니다.이러한 변칙 현상은 인플레이션 완화와 맞물려 기존의 경기 침체 지표에 도전장을 던지고 있습니다.일부 분석가들은 “지금은 다르다”고 조심스레 시사하지만, 경제 불확실성이 지속되고 있어 근본적인 시장 동력에 대한 흥미로운 의문이 제기되고 있습니다.
불확실성이 여전하지만 한 가지 분명한 사실은 상업용 부동산 부문이 중추적인 시점에 직면해 있다는 것입니다.우리는 전례 없는 힘으로 형성된 시장에서 위험과 기회의 균형을 맞추면서 변화하는 환경을 주의 깊게 헤쳐나가고 있습니다.

Reuters | US summer flight bookings are down 10% year-on-year — even though airfares are cheaper — and the airline sector is lagging behind the wider market. Nevertheless, Greg Friedman of Peachtree Group says the market will pick up and even benefit in 2026.
Schwab Network: With the summer season well underway, Greg Friedman is bullish on hotel and travel stocks. He believes there's favoritism toward some companies that investors may not realize unless they look under the surface. Greg breaks down the trends he sees to explain why optimism is high for companies like Hyatt (H), Hilton (HLT), and Airbnb (ABNB).
ATLANTA (July 21, 2025) - Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a leading vertically integrated commercial real estate investment platform, today announced the launch of its Peachtree Special Situations Fund, a $250 million fund designed to unlock value in mispriced, high-quality hotel and other commercial real estate assets due to today’s capital market illiquidity rather than underlying fundamentals.
“We believe the next 12 to 18 months offer some of the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities we’ve seen since the global financial crisis,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “As balance sheet stress and refinancing hurdles intensify in the hotel space and other commercial real estate sectors, Peachtree is uniquely positioned to deploy capital where it’s needed most, delivering attractive returns while providing real solutions for sponsors and lenders alike.”
With nearly $1 trillion in commercial real estate loans maturing in 2025 and hotels carrying some of the largest refinancing and capital expenditure burdens, Peachtree’s Special Situations Fund is positioned to step in where traditional capital has pulled back.
Many hotel and commercial real estate owners who financed properties in the zero-interest-rate era now face gaps in their capital stacksas rates remain elevated and liquidity tightens. Peachtree’s strategy bridges this gap by providing creative downside-protected capital solutions to reposition assets and unlock embedded value.
“This fund is about capitalizing on dislocation, not chaos,” Friedman said. “We’re targeting high-quality assets not distressed by systematic factors but by capital structure, and we’re doing it with the speed, creativity and certainty of execution that have defined Peachtree’s reputation for more than a decade.”
The Special Situations Fund targets investments that sit between value-add and opportunistic, combining attractive upside potential with meaningful downside protection. Core strategies include:
· Off-market acquisitions: Securing underperforming or mispriced hotels as well as select multifamily, student housing, self-storage and other commercial real estate sectors for repositioning and stabilization.
· Preferred and hybrid equity solutions: Providing flexible capital to sponsors needing liquidity for acquisitions, development or refinancing with structures designed to protect basis and enhance current yields.
· Distressed purchases from lenders: Acquiring assets directly from banks through deed-in-lieu or post-foreclosure transactions, often at discounts to outstanding loan balances and well below replacement cost.
Peachtree’s fully integrated platform spans direct lending, CPACE financing, development, acquisitions and capital markets and provides a unique lens into shifting market dynamics. Long standing relationships with community and regional banks and other stakeholders enable Peachtree to source high-value opportunities early before they reach the broader market.
“We’re the first call when a sponsor or lender needs a fast, reliable solution,” Friedman said. “Speed and surety of close are critical in this environment, especially when dealing with complex capital stacks and distressed notes.”
The fund’s geographic focus is nationwide, with significant deal flow expected in markets with strong demand fundamentals and recent pricing resets, including Texas, Florida and California. Peachtree expects to hold its first close within the next 60 to 90 days and complete the final close within its targeted 18 months following the initial close.
