ATLANTA (Oct. 13, 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a diversified commercial real estate investment firm, has completed more than $2.0 billion in private credit transactions through September 2025 across 77 deals, marking a record year already. The firm is on pace to approach $2.5 billion for the full year, a notable increase from 2024 that underscores the expanding role of private credit in commercial real estate as traditional lenders remain cautious in a market shaped by tighter liquidity and ongoing volatility.
“Our ability to consistently execute at a high level is a direct function of the ecosystem we’ve built over the last 18 years,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s managing principal and CEO. “Our vertically integrated credit platform that spans origination, underwriting, servicing and asset management enables us to be proactive where many are reactive, delivering certainty and stronger out comes for our borrowers and investors.”
Banks, which traditionally account for half of commercial real estate lending, have tightened credit standards or pulled back entirely. That shift has opened new opportunities for private credit lenders like Peachtree to offer flexible financing for acquisitions, construction, refinancings and recapitalizations.
“We are seeing strong demand from institutional-quality borrowers looking for certainty of execution in a disrupted lending market,” said Michael Harper, Peachtree’s president, hotel lending. “This year’s growth underscores our ability to deliver creative capital solutions across asset classes, including hotels, multifamily, industrial, office and land.”
Peachtree has originated approximately $1.1 billion in hotel loans this year, selectively leaning into multifamily, office and industrial, where dislocation or supply constraints are creating compelling opportunities for well-structured credit investments.
Notable transactions completed included:
· $68.2 million first mortgage loan for the AC hotel in Seattle, Wash.
· $59.0 million first mortgage loan for the AC/Element Riverwalk hotel in San Antonio, Texas
Private credit activity is expected to remain strong, driven by a wave of debt maturities, continued tighter bank lending and the need for refinancing or recapitalization of projects nearing stabilization.
“With nearly $3 trillion in U.S. commercial real estate debt maturing by 2028, private credit lenders are positioned to step into a market hungry for capital,” said Jared Schlosser, head of originations and CPACE at Peachtree. “Our ability to provide flexible capital at scale, even in complex situations, positions us as a trusted partner for borrowers navigating today’s market.”
In 2024, Peachtree deployed $1.6 billion in credit transactions, representing a 54% increase from the prior year, and making the firm one of the largest investor-driven commercial real estate lenders in the United States, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Peachtree offers a full range of financing options, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE, preferred equity and triple net lease financing, providing tailored solutions across the capital stack.
“As we continue to scale our lending platform, we remain focused on serving borrowers with creativity, certainty and speed, which have long defined Peachtree’s approach to private credit,” Schlosser said.

亚特兰大商业纪事报 -上个月，总部位于亚特兰大的房地产投资公司Peachtree Group完成了其有史以来最大规模的信贷协议——1.765亿美元的清洁能源贷款，用于大规模翻新，旨在恢复拉斯维加斯酒店和赌场的辉煌。
7月，该公司提供了4200万澳元的贷款，为Banyan Street Capital收购亚特兰大金融中心提供资金，展示了其业务的广度。亚特兰大金融中心是巴克海德的一处办公物业，正在考虑进行部分重建。
该交易是推动Peachtree迈向又一个创纪录年份的一系列交易中的最新一笔，尽管商业房地产面临债务市场的持续波动——这些条件奖励了能够迅速采取行动的私人贷方。
桃树集团董事总经理兼首席执行官格雷格·弗里德曼告诉《亚特兰大商业纪事报》：“桃树集团的成功源于我们的团队愿意在动荡的市场中发挥创造力、坚韧不拔和果断的意愿。”“当其他人犹豫时，我们不怕俯身快速打电话。”
他补充说，这种做法并不意味着鲁莽。
他说：“我们在这个过程中的纪律使我们有信心地采取行动。”“这种平衡一直是我们成功的关键，它将颠覆转化为机遇，使我们能够继续建立一个在每个周期中都能创造价值的投资平台。”
Peachtree成立于2007年，在全国拥有3,000多名员工，是Inc. 5000的常客。它被广泛认为是酒店和商业房地产领域的顶级参与者。
...弗里德曼写道：“我们即将迎来又一个创纪录的创始年份。”
