Commercial Observer - Grandview Companies has secured a $63 million financing package for the development of a multifamily development in Western Washington, Commercial Observer has learned.
Peachtree Group originated a $28.3 million, 26-month first mortgage and 30-year $17 million Commercial Property Accessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) loan for the developers’ planned 280-unit Yorkshire Apartments project in Tumwater, Wash. Hickory CRE Lending also provided a $17.7 million mezzanine loan as part of the transaction, which was brokered by Zack Goodwin, managing partner at CapNorth.
2023 was a year marred by obstacles for borrowing across commercial real estate, particularly after a widespread crisis shook regional banks that are historically the biggest lenders in the space. Peachtree CEO Greg Friedman spoke with Hotel News Now about his prediction for 2024.
Insights Into the Lending Environment From Peachtree's Greg Friedman (costar.com)
Peachtree CEO Greg Friedman was quoted in this recent CoStar Group article by Sean McCracken talking about the lending environment for hotels in 2024 and the opportunities for investor, operator, lenders like Peachtree Group.
"Most traditional lenders aren't lending," said Friedman. "Forty percent of the debt market is traditionally made up of regional banks, community banks, national banks, and it's been in the press that banks are under pressure. So 40% of the market is struggling, the CMBS market makes up close to 25% to 30% of lending to hotels and that market is well under pressure, as well."But he said what is left of the market is attracted to hotels due to "really good asset-level performance."
