Statista估计，到2023年，商业房地产市场的价值将达到24.67万亿美元。根据德勤金融服务中心2024年行业展望，一半的行业预计明年资本成本和资本可用性将恶化。再加上2025年底前到期的1.5万亿美元债务墙，不难理解当今市场的担忧。
但是我们以前来过这里。
Peachtree集团的信贷团队已经完成了数百笔价值超过150亿美元的交易。在我们的集体职业生涯中，我们看到借款人以各种不同的方式驾驭不稳定的市场，例如我们今天所经历的市场。
以下是借款人设法驾驭当今艰难市场并为其项目争取资金的五个小贴士。
多年来，它一直是借款人的市场，但这不是其中之一。不要放弃手中的条款表——自2022年3月以来，美联储已经加息了11次。在条款表上花费太多时间可能会让你失去任何利差让步，因为基准指数的上涨，甚至更糟糕的是，贷款机构决定完全撤回条款。如果你收到了你信任的人的报价，你可能想接受。
在现有项目中，你目前的贷款人很可能是你最好的朋友。愿意给你延期的贷款机构是这个市场的黄金。从当前的贷款机构获得额外条款可能是成本最低的选择，即使它包括费用和利率上调——它的成本可能仍然比当前市场给你的要低得多。但是，我希望你是一位优秀的借款人——了解最新的可交付成果，沟通项目状况等。毫无疑问，银行在帮你一个忙，不要给信贷委员会说不的理由。
作为该国最大的CPACE发起人之一，Peachtree希望追溯使用所得款项的计划已大幅增加。房产在获得批准的市政当局的居住证明后的3年内有资格获得CPACE，收益通常最高可达稳定价值的35％。对于首次抵押贷款机构来说，这种资本来源变得越来越有趣，因为所得款项可用于偿还您的第一笔抵押贷款和筹集新的利息储备。
我们为成为贷款人而感到自豪，他们希望在交易出现预算破裂或稳定所花费的时间比预期更长的时间时参与解决方案。但是，我始终鼓励借款人增加预算应急开支的规模（即7％对5％）或增加利息储备。是的，它会增加您的初始资本，但您的贷款机构将从贷款融资中提取该成本的60-70％。这可能意味着在初始筹资方面有更多的工作，但通常比在项目中期回到贷款机构和/或股权机构获得额外资金的成本要低。
贷款人可以访问数据和信息。他们最终会发现真相；真相也可能来自你。这包括先前的信用异常或问题以及准确的财产绩效信息。我们有专门用于特殊情况贷款的资金——有很多交易层面的风险可以缓解，但对赞助缺乏信任不是其中之一。
在不确定的时期，希望得到最好的结果，但要为最坏的情况做好准备。Peachtree是一位经验丰富的资本合伙人，他了解商业地产的细微差别。由于传统贷款机构的融资选择有限，我们的团队拥有贷款解决方案、财务能力和专业知识，可以在当今充满挑战的资本市场环境中完成复杂的交易。

The developer of an apartment complex in northwest Washington state has lined up $57.5 million of senior debt from Peachtree Group, including $29 million of commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing.
Grandview North is on track to complete the 350-unit Harrington Place, in Ferndale, by January 2026. Atlanta-based Peachtree funded $13 million of the debt at closing on Jan. 28.
The fixed-rate C-PACE loan has a 30-year term. The rest of the senior financing package, brokered by CapNorth, was structured as a $28.5 million, floating-rate construction loan with an initial term of 18 months, plus extension options.
As part of the deal, the term of an outstanding $20 million mezzanine loan from Hickory CRE Lending was adjusted to match that of the Peachtree floater. The project is expected to cost $90 million, which pegs the overall loan-to-cost ratio at roughly 86%.
New York-based Hickory originated its fully funded subordinate loan as part of a $77 million debt package that Arlington, Wash.-based Grandview lined up in April 2023. The package also included a $57 million senior-debt commitment from Bayview Asset Management of Coral Gables, Fla. Bayview’s portion, which never funded because construction was postponed due to permitting delays, was split between a $45 million construction loan from its Oceanview Life and Annuity affiliate and $12 million of C-PACE financing from its Bayview PACE unit.
Developers can use C-PACE loans, which are repaid via assessments collected with property taxes, to help finance commercial buildings that meet certain standards for energy efficiency and sustainability. For its part, Peachtree offers borrowers debt throughout the capital stack by providing such financing in conjunction with traditional construction and bridge loans, president Daniel Siegel said.
Harrington Place will comprise 11 buildings on an 18-acre site that Grandview has owned since late 2020. The 101 studios and 150 one-bedroom, 63 two-bedroom and 36 three-bedroom units will have quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances and full-size washer/dryers.
Amenities will include fitness, game and party rooms, a lounge, a playground, indoor and outdoor athletic courts, and a patio with grills. The property is at 6276 Portal Way, a half-mile west of the Nooksack River and 10 miles northwest of Bellingham, a growing city between Vancouver, Canada, to the north and Seattle to the south.
ATLANTA (Feb. 10, 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a diversified commercial real estate investment platform, deployed $1.6 billion in credit transactions in 2024, marking a 54% increase from 2023. This growth highlights Peachtree’s reach in private credit lending and its ability to provide financing solutions across multiple property types, including hospitality, multifamily, industrial and specialty assets.
Founded in 2007, Peachtree has evolved into a vertically integrated investment firm, strengthening its ability to source, underwrite and manage assets. Since 2010, it has played a key role in expanding private credit in commercial real estate, supporting hotels and other commercial real estate sectors. Through strategic growth, the firm has deepen edits leadership and expertise, accelerating expansion in commercial real estate lending.
The majority of Peachtree’s 2024 credit investments were concentrated in the hospitality and multifamily sectors, with $876 million and $392.3 million in transactions completed, respectively. The remaining $297.4 million was strategically deployed across industrial, land, mixed-use, retail, office and single-family residential asset classes, reinforcing Peachtree’s commitment to a diversified lending strategy.
“As we reflect on 2024, we executed a record level of transactions while expanding our lending platform to serve a broader range of commercial real estate asset classes,” said Greg Friedman, CEO and managing principal of Peachtree. “Looking ahead, we expect outsized growth by leveraging our private credit lending programs and launching additional initiatives to address underserved niches in the market.”
Since strengthening its credit team, Peachtree has executed more than $1 billion in commercial real estate transactions, underscoring its reach and execution capabilities in a challenging lending environment.
“With sustained high interest rates, reduced bank lending and $4.5 trillion in U.S. commercial real estate debt maturing by 2028, the need for alternative financing solutions is more critical than ever,” said Daniel Siegel, president and principal, CRE at Peachtree. “At Peachtree, we help borrowers navigate rising capital costs and liquidity constraints by offering flexible financing solutions across multiple asset classes.”
The Mortgage Bankers Association recognized Peachtree as the seventh-largest investor-driven commercial real estate lender in the U.S., further solidifying its position as a top-tier financing partner.
As a direct commercial real estate lender, Peachtree offers a full spectrum of financing solutions, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE (Commercial Property-Assessed Clean Energy) loans and preferred equity investments. Expanding its capabilities, Peachtree also launched a Triple Net Lease (NNN) financing program last year to further support sponsors.
In addition to its broad lending platform, Peachtree continues to lead in CPACE financing, setting a record in2024 with 22 transactions totaling $316.6 million. The CPACE team also recently surpassed $1 billion in total transactions—an achievement few companies in the industry can claim—further cementing Peachtree’s position as a leader in structured financing solutions.
“As Peachtree continues to scale its lending platform, it remains committed to providing capital solutions that drive long-term value for borrowers and investors alike,” Friedman added.

In the latest episode of Peachtree Point of View, host Greg Friedman delves into the world of private credit lending with Daniel Siegel, head of Peachtree Group's commercial real estate lending platform. Together, they unpack how today's evolving market landscape is opening doors to compelling private credit investments.
The market is at an inflection point, with treasury yields north of 4.5% and nearly $2 trillion in commercial real estate loans maturing over the next 24 months. Siegel observes, "If you bought in 2020-2022, there's a good chance you've experienced some value deterioration." This trend has pressured multifamily valuations, which have dropped by 20-25%, yet fundamentals remain solid, with properties continuing to maintain healthy occupancy.
The discussion highlights an intriguing paradox: while many assets face valuation challenges, they continue to perform well operationally. This disconnect is creating opportunities for sophisticated investors, particularly as banks contend with increasing regulatory pressure to reduce their commercial real estate exposure. Siegel shares an interesting case study of a Massachusetts multifamily project where his team stepped in to provide a creative financing solution that benefited both the original lender and the borrower.
The episode also offers nuanced insights into various property sectors. As mentioned, multifamily, while grappling with near-term pricing pressure, holds strong long-term fundamentals. Hospitality demonstrates remarkable resilience, leveraging its daily pricing power. Retail has emerged stronger after years of supply rationalization. Conversely, office assets present a mixed picture—Class A properties maintain performance, while secondary assets face substantial challenges.
For investors exploring private credit opportunities, Siegel emphasizes the importance of working with experienced managers equipped with the infrastructure for loan servicing and workouts. "It's easy to write loans," he notes. "It's the infrastructure needed to work them out that matters."
Drawing on Peachtree Group's 17-year track record and over $11 billion in commercial real estate investments, the discussion underscores the firm's ability to provide creative financing solutions while maintaining conservative underwriting (typically 65-70% LTV).This approach has helped the firm to capitalize on market dislocations while effectively managing risk.
With its seasoned expertise and innovative strategies, Peachtree Group continues to lead the way in delivering strong risk-adjusted returns on its investments. This episode is filled with actionable insights and strategic guidance for navigating today's complex market environment.
