‍ATLANTA (April 3, 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) ranked as the eighth-largest investor-driven commercial real estate lender in the U.S., according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) 2024 loan origination rankings. In 2024, Peachtree deployed approximately $1.6 billion in commercial real estate credit investments.

“With a substantial volume of maturities on the horizon and trillions in debt coming due through 2028, the current environment increasingly favors private credit lenders like Peachtree,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “We’re well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and help close the funding gap left by traditional capital sources.”

The MBA also ranked Peachtree as the seventh-largest U.S. commercial real estate hotel lender, marking its fourth consecutive year in the top ten. The firm also earned rankings across the office, multifamily, retail and industrial sectors.

“The hospitality sector continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, driven by strong demand fundamentals,” said Michael Harper, president of hotel lending at Peachtree. “We remain committed to supporting owners and operators with expansion, renovation and refinancing needs—leveraging our strategic capital deployment and adaptability to drive long-term value.”

Amid ongoing market volatility, Peachtree deployed nearly $500 million in credit transactions during the 2025 first quarter and is on track to exceed its 2024 production targets. Notable originations this year  include:

·      $59.0 million bridge loan – AC / Element Hotel, San Antonio, Texas

·      $51.5 million bridge loan and Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (CPACE) financing – Reserve at Vinedo, Paso Robles, Calif.

·      $48.3 million bridge loan and CPACE financing – Yorkshire Apartments, Tumwater (Olympia), Wash.

·      $43.0 million bridge loan – Home2 Suites / Tru Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

·      $42.8 million bridge loan – The Jax Apartments, Monroe, Ga

‍

“Our fourth consecutive top 10 year underscores the strength of our credit platform and our ability to lend through business cycles. These results reflect our reputation for reliability and delivering certainty of execution, even in the most volatile of market conditions,” Harper added.

As a direct commercial real estate lender, Peachtree offers a full suite of financing solutions, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE (Commercial Property-Assessed Clean Energy) loans and preferred equity investments. The firm further expanded its capabilities last year by launching a Triple Net Lease (NNN) financing program to better support sponsors.

Peachtree reaffirmed its position as a leader in CPACE financing in 2024, setting a firm record with 22 transactions totaling $316.6 million. The CPACE team also recently surpassed $1 billion in total transaction volume—an achievement few in the lending industry can claim—further solidifying Peachtree’s success in expanding its lending platform and providing innovative financing solutions.
