News Release- Peachtree Group ("Peachtree"), a leading commercial real estate investment firm overseeing a diversified portfolio of more than $10 billion, ended the year ranked 14th out of nearly 70 sponsors that raised Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”) equity in 2025, reflecting the rapid growth and scale of its DST platform just three years after inception.
“In a market defined by elevated interest rates, limited transaction volume and a significant need for liquidity, tax-deferred strategies such as DSTs have become increasingly important for investors seeking to preserve capital maintain income and remain active in high-quality real estate,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “Our focus is on pairing that tax efficiency with institutional assets and conservative structures.”
The firm also closed two DST acquisitions in December, highlighting the continued growth and scale of the firm’s DST investment platform.
PG Omaha Landmark DST is anchored by the Residence Inn Omaha Downtown/Old Market Area, an extended-stay hotel located in Omaha’s core business district. The historic property offers modern studios and one and two-bedroom suites with fully equipped kitchens and flexible living spaces appealing to both leisure and corporate travelers. Across the street is both the headquarters for Union Pacific and the new, under-construction headquarters for Mutual of Omaha. The hotel also benefits from proximity to major demand drivers including Creighton University CHI Health Arena & Convention Center and Eppley Airfield.
PG Manchester Industrial DST consists of a newly developed single-tenant essential services facility leased on a long-term net basis to a nationally recognized investment-grade operator providing mission-critical automotive services. The asset is located in a growing U.S. market and offers durable cash flow with no near-term lease rollover.
“These transactions underscore the strength of our DST platform and our ability to scale thoughtfully across asset types,” said Tim Witt, president of 1031 Exchange and DST Products at Peachtree. “With the completion of our second industrial DST acquisition, we are expanding the platform while maintaining our focus on institutional-quality assets, conservative structures and long-term income for our investors.”
In 2025, Peachtree completed six debt-free DST acquisitions totaling approximately $200 million. Since its inception, the firm has completed 12 DST acquisitions totaling roughly $375 million.
“We see 2026 as a period where well-structured DST offerings backed by strong real estate fundamentals become even more relevant,” Friedman said. “As the market continues to work through pricing discovery and a wall of maturities, these structures offer investors a way to stay active without taking on additional operational or leasing risk.”
