6개월 후 여행 가방을 들어 올리느라 허리가 풀리기 전까지는 운동을 건너뛰거나 잠을 청하는 것에 대해 두 번 생각하지 않아도 됩니다.선택의 문제도 바로 이것입니다. 외치는 소리는 거의 없습니다.대부분은 속삭입니다.지금은 가볍고, 무해하며, 심지어 잊어버릴 것만 같은 기분이 듭니다.하지만 시간이 흐르면서 쌓여 결국에는 모든 것을 다듬어나가게 됩니다.
상업용 부동산에서도 마찬가지입니다.
수년 동안 시장은 금융 엔지니어링에 대한 보상을 제공했습니다.금리 하락, 상한선 금리 인하, 저렴한 자본 덕분에 많은 투자자들이 모멘텀을 타고 여전히 높은 수익을 창출할 수 있었습니다.이제 그 시대는 끝났습니다.
우리는 이제 더 높은 곳에서 더 오래 운영되고 있습니다.금리는 인상되고, 기존 대출 기관들은 철수했으며, 자본 시장은 변동성이 심합니다.거시경제 혼란, 지정학적 위험, 인플레이션 변동 거래 정책으로 인해 리스크의 가격이 실시간으로 조정되고 있습니다.
이런 환경에서는 일거수일투족이 중요합니다.매수, 매도, 자본 재구성, 보유 여부 등 모든 결정은 1년 전보다 더 중요합니다.
·자본은 정밀하게 배치되어야 합니다.오차 범위가 좁아졌습니다.위험을 잘못 책정하거나 과도한 레버리지를 사용하거나 낙관적인 보험에 의존하면 거래가 순식간에 위축될 수 있습니다.
·유동성은 전략적 이점입니다. 많은 대출 기관이 레버리지를 줄이거나 낮춘 시장에서 실행 확실성은 더 이상 가정되지 않습니다.수익을 올렸습니다.
·금융 엔지니어링이 아닌 기본이 성공을 정의합니다.상한선 금리 인하는 더 이상 예전처럼 순풍이 아닙니다.수익은 운영 우수성, 자산 품질 및 체계적인 관리에서 비롯되어야 합니다.
· 시간이 많이 걸립니다.행동으로 옮기는 것은 잘못된 결정만큼이나 해로울 수 있습니다.리파이낸싱이 지연되거나 불확실한 시장에서의 망설임은 실적에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다.
Peachtree에서는 바로 이러한 환경을 위한 플랫폼을 구축했습니다.완전히 통합된 투자 및 신용 플랫폼, 시장 주기 전반에 걸친 심층적인 경험, 즉시 배치할 수 있는 유연한 자본을 통해 우리는 다른 사람들이 망설일 때 단호한 조치를 취할 수 있는 유리한 위치에 있습니다.
이 시장에서는 인생과 마찬가지로 모든 행동이 중요하며 가장 성공적인 결과는 명확성, 규율 및 신념에서 비롯되기 때문입니다.
프라이빗 크레딧은 하락 보호, 수익률 및 유연성을 제공하는 오늘날 시장에서 가장 매력적인 솔루션 중 하나로 남아 있습니다.전통적인 자본이 여전히 제한된 상황에서 특수 상황 투자는 분산된 시장에서 가치를 창출하기 위한 주요 전략으로 각광받고 있습니다.
환경이 발전함에 따라 우리는 우리의 강점을 활용하고 투자자에게 가치를 제공할 기회를 계속 모색하고 있습니다.

ATLANTA (Oct. 15, 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a leading commercial real estate investment firm overseeing a diversified portfolio of more than $8 billion, today announced the appointment of Lindsay Monge as executive vice president of asset management. In this role, Monge will oversee the firm’s hospitality and real estate assets, driving performance, strategic planning and value creation across the portfolio.
Monge brings more than two decades of leadership experience in hospitality, real estate investment and operations to Peachtree.

Before this, he spent nearly 16 years at Sunstone Hotel Investors, rising to senior vice president, chief administrative officer, secretary and treasurer, where he oversaw corporate functions and played a pivotal role in managing a $3.9 billion asset base.
“Lindsay’s extensive background leading hotel operations and real estate investment platforms makes him an invaluable addition to our leadership team,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “His experience across public REITs, private equity and owner-operator platforms uniquely positions him to enhance value creation for our investors while strengthening our asset management capabilities.”

ATLANTA (Oct. 13, 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) announced today the launch of a new equipment finance division, further broadening its credit platform and reinforcing its ability to provide flexible equipment lease financing across industries, including commercial real estate and hospitality.
The division will be led by seasoned executives Brian Shaughnessy and Roger Johnson, who together bring more than 60 years of experience in equipment finance, specialty finance and portfolio acquisitions. They will be joined by experienced industry executive Dennis Shields, further strengthening the team’s depth and expertise. Shields spent the last 15 years with Meridian Leasing, helping to grow its profitable leasing business.
“This launch is more than the start of a new business line. It continues relationships that span more than 15 years,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s managing principal and CEO. “We have known and worked alongside Brian and Roger for well over a decade, watching them build reputations as trusted leaders in equipment finance. Their arrival marks both a reunion and a natural extension of our long-standing ties.”
This new platform represents a progression of Peachtree’s established private credit ecosystem. Many of the firm’s commercial real estate clients also require equipment financing, particularly in hospitality, where Furniture, Fixtures,and Equipment (FF&E) play a critical role in new developments. By building on the firm’s long-standing history and applying proven expertise from its principals’ experience financing essential use equipment, Peachtree is positioned to deliver tailored financing solutions that address client needs across multiple sectors and industries.
The launch highlights Peachtree’s ability to adapt its platform to fill gaps left by traditional lenders while keeping long-term client relationships at the center of its strategy.

“Large banks continue to pull back from serving small and mid-sized businesses, leaving a significant void in the market,” Friedman said. “Our new platform allows us to step in with creative financing solutions, whether that means helping medical facilities upgrade technology or supporting hotels with FF&E for new developments, so businesses can access the capital they need to grow.”
Shaughnessy, who joins as president and principal of the equipment finance division, is a senior executive with more than 35 years of experience in financial services and investment banking. He was most recently co-founder and CEO of IMT Commercial, an alternative portfolio and asset acquisition and management firm.
Johnson, who will serve as executive vice president and principal, is a 30-year portfolio acquisitions and commercial lending veteran. He has a proven track record of developing profitable relationships with C-suite decision-makers at a wide range of financial institutions. Both Shaughnessy and Johnson founded and grew IMT Commercial Credit into a top 120 equipment finance business.
The new unit will initially focus on financing lease transactions ranging from $500,000 to $10 million with terms generally between 24 and 84 months. By leveraging Peachtree’s established credit expertise, infrastructure and balance sheet strength, the division aims to deliver competitive financing options while ensuring timely funding and long-term client relationships.
“Equipment finance requires a deep understanding of the assets, from valuation to structuring and exit strategies,” said Shaughnessy. “Our team brings decades of specialized knowledge that allows us to evaluate risk effectively and deliver certainty of execution for clients.”
Johnson added,“Leasing involves extensive coordination with clients, vendors and lenders, and our goal is to make the process seamless. Clients can count on us not only to secure financing but also to manage the details that keep projects moving forward.”
“Equipment finance is a relationship-driven business where execution matters,” Shields, senior vice president, said. “Our goal is to combine decades of industry expertise with Peachtree’s deep credit platform to offer reliable, creative solutions to clients who are often underserved in today’s lending environment.”

Fortune | There’s no doubt that commercial real estate, and especially the office market, is undergoing a seismic transformation, one that’s not likely to abate any time soon. A boom time of near-zero-interest-rate policy, abundant liquidity, and cap rate compression over the past decade has given way to a perfect storm–a wall of maturing debt, tightened lending conditions, and cratering property values–all amid higher interest rates that show no sign of returning to their pre-2022 lows.
The outlook for the office sector has been particularly negative. It’s a tale of two markets right now: roughly 30% of office buildings account for 90% of the vacancies and may never recover, while the other 70% have the chance to stabilize over time. Either way, the office market finds itself at an inflection point, much like the retail market as mall acquisitions were being financed.
