Debt Market Dislocation Creates $1 Billion Opportunity for Peachtree Group

ATLANTA (March 18, 2024) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a diversified commercial real estate investment firm, announced it has closed approximately $660 million in credit investments since Dec. 1, 2023, with an additional $350 million anticipated closing over the next 30 to 45 days.

The credit investments primarily encompass originations for hotels, multifamily, industrial and student housing.


In February, Peachtree closed one of the largest individual credit transactions in the firm's history with a $102.9 million three-year loan to recapitalize a 350‐room Marriott dual-brand AC Hotel Sunnyvale Moffett Park and TETRA Hotel, Autograph Collection in Sunnyvale, Calif.

"We are witnessing heightened activity in response to the anticipation of sustained elevated interest rates and continued reductions in bank exposure. The pressing need to refinance maturing debt, estimated at $2.8 trillion in U.S. commercial real estate debt by the end of 2028, is a growing concern. Commercial real estate stakeholders are grappling with the challenges of increased capital costs and constrained liquidity, particularly in securing capital for acquisitions, recapitalizations and development initiatives,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree Group’s managing principal and CEO.

Peachtree Group's credit division, formerly Stonehill, ranked as the 8th largest U.S. commercial real estate hotel lender by the Mortgage Bankers Association in its last loan origination rankings.

As a direct commercial real estate lender, it offers permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, commercial property-asset clean energy (CPACE) financing and preferred equity investments across all commercial real estate sectors, with its origins in the hospitality industry.

Other notable credit transactions closed over the past 90 days:

  • $40.8 million first mortgage loan for the construction of a dual-branded Residence Inn and Home2 Suites in Montgomery, Ala.
  • $46.0 million in Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“CPACE”) financing for the Thompson Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif.  
  • $36.2 million first mortgage loan for Courtyard by Marriott in Chevy Chase, Md.
  • $40.6 million first mortgage loan for Home2 Suites in Charlotte, N.C.
  • $34.5 million first mortgage loan for a multifamily complex in Gainesville, Fla.
  • $17.5 million first mortgage loan for student housing in Athens, Ga.

Commercial Observer: Peachtree Closes $53MM CPACE Loan for Suburban Portland Residential Community

Peachtree Group closed the 30-year C-PACE 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.

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.”
