Commercial Observer - Kirkland Development has sealed $53.3 million of Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing to execute energy-efficient and resiliency enhancements to a planned residential community in southwest Washington just north of Portland, Ore., Commercial Observer has learned.
Peachtree Group closed the 30-year CPACE loan for Kirkland’s The Ledges at Palisades development in Camas, Wash. The Ledges consists of 51 condominiums and 90 rental apartments slated for completion in late 2025. Loan proceeds will fund sustainability upgrades, qualifying soft costs and improvements to the five-story property’s resiliency, HVAC system, lighting and plumbing.
Jared Schlosser, Peachtree Group’s senior vice president, said the loan will help complete the long-planned project that stalled during the COVID-19 pandemic, adding that it underscores how C-PACE can be utilized for bringing projects across the finish line.
“PACE is a great tool to come in particularly mid-construction because here there were some cost overruns and some delays due to COVID and other things, so this really helped jump-start the project,” Schlosser said. “We funded some of the previously completed line items as well as some of the future funding that needs to happen to finish the project.”

Commercial Observer: Peachtree Group Provides $43M Loan in Fort Lauderdale Hotel Recap

Peachtree Group originated a $43.0MM recapitalization of the 218-room dual-branded Home2 Suites/Tru Fort Lauderdale Downtown. The floating-rate note carries a 36-month term with two extensions. The sponsor, Driftwood Capital, acquired the site in 2016 and developed the hotels, which opened in November 2020.
The dual-branded hotels (315 NW 1st Avenue) are in Fort Lauderdale's Flagler Village submarket, near key corporate and leisure demand drivers. Fort Lauderdale benefits from strong long-term fundamentals, bolstered by Florida’s position as the nation’s leader in net income migration. Downtown Fort Lauderdale has experienced significant growth, with a 35.4% population increase from 2020 to 2023. The area is home to approximately 200 company headquarters and is well-positioned for the continued return to office, with more than 70% of office workers back—20 percentage points above the national average. Key demand drivers include the Broward County Convention Center, which is expanding to become the nation’s sixth largest, and Port Everglades, one of the world's busiest cruise ports. These factors, combined with the region’s economic resilience, make Fort Lauderdale a compelling market.
With limited new supply and growing demand, Fort Lauderdale's market dynamics favor ADR growth. Expansion of the convention center, increasing cruise port activity, and strong economic fundamentals further support sustained demand.

Peachtree Group originated a $59.0MM recapitalization of the 343-room dual-branded AC Hotel and Element San Antonio Riverwalk. The floating-rate note carries a 36-month term with two, 12-month extensions. The sponsors, Winston Hospitality and Concord Hospitality Enterprises, purchased former office towers—Riverview Towers—in December 2019 and spent two and a half years undergoing a multi-phase, adaptive reuse renovation to transform them into dual-branded hotels, which opened in 2022.
Located adjacent to San Antonio's famed Riverwalk, the #1 attraction in Texas, the hotels benefit from the city's strong tourism market, drawing over 39 million visitors annually, and its status as the third-fastest-growing city in the U.S., with a 3.8% population increase from 2020 to 2022. They remain the newest hotels in their competitive set.
The AC Hotel and Element are the first new Marriott-branded hotels in the Riverwalk Historic District since 2011, standing out in a downtown market where extended-stay offerings are predominantly Hilton-branded. As premium Marriott properties, they benefit from access to the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, the world's largest travel loyalty program, boasting over 200 million members and growing.
