ATLANTA(Nov. 3, 2025) - Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) today announced that its hotel development portfolio has exceeded $2 billion nationwide, a significant milestone underscoring its ability to deliver large-scale projects in one of the most challenging hospitality investment environments.
According to a recent survey by the American Hotel & Lodging Association, many hotel developers are delaying or scaling back projects, with some shelving them altogether. Despite this trend, Peachtree has continued to advance its pipeline, with. This milestone highlights the firm’s scale, execution capabilities and commitment to delivering projects when much of the industry is pulling back.
The firm’s largest property to open its doors in 2025, the Embassy Suites Beach Resort in Gulf Shores, Ala., features 257 all-suite guest rooms overlooking the white sands of the Gulf Coast. The eight-story hotel delivers a true beachfront experience with sweeping water views, distinctive food and beverage options and resort-style amenities.
In Dallas, construction teams celebrated the topping out on the dual-branded AC and Moxy by Marriott Uptown, currently Peachtree’s tallest hotel development at 19 stories in the heart of the highest-demand submarket of Dallas. The project will bring 264 upscale rooms to the McKinney Avenue corridor, a premier destination known for its mix of dining, nightlife, corporate offices and luxury residences. The much-anticipated hotel is expected to open in summer 2026.
And in Austin, Peachtree is undertaking its most ambitious project yet with the development of a dual-branded Embassy Suites and Tempo by Hilton. The 30-story tower will feature 480 guestrooms, crowned by a rooftop bar and lounge offering sweeping views of the city skyline. The project will also include 10,000 square feet of first- and second-floor space to be operated by a prominent, national restaurant group in the heart of Austin’s dynamic core.
“These projects reflect the full breadth of what Peachtree can deliver,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree Group. “From a beachfront resort in Gulf Shores to a lifestyle-driven hotel in Uptown Dallas and a dual-branded flagship in downtown Austin, we are scaling across markets with projects that redefine experiences for guests and value for our partners. Each underscores the strength of our platform to execute in a challenging environment.”
Peachtree’s Opportunity Zone development program continues to advance with the topping out of its Residence Inn San Antonio and the openings of the Hampton Inn & Suites in Maui and the AC Hotel Detroit. Notably, Peachtree also opened The Ava Hotel, a Curio Collection by Hilton, in Paso Robles, Calif., in August, a lifestyle-branded hotel that marks a new era in hospitality for the Central Coast.
The firm is among the most active hotel developers in Qualified Opportunity Zones, with 11 hotels open, four under construction and three more in the pipeline. Peachtree has supported the program since its inception, strategically allocating capital to spur economic development and advance its goal of revitalizing underserved communities.
Rounding out its momentum, the firm recently celebrated the opening of the Homewood Suites in Jackson, Tenn. Looking ahead, Peachtree expects to open two more hotels in 2025: a Home2 Suites in Ashburn, Va.,and a Tru by Hilton in Huntsville, Ala.
These projects, along with others under construction across the country, showcase Peachtree’s ability to execute across the full spectrum of hospitality asset types from efficient, limited-service hotels to high-rise, amenity-rich destinations. The firm remains bullish on hotel development, recognizing that many existing properties have been starved of capital since the pandemic and in today’s higher-rate environment. Newer hotels are not only better positioned to capture demand but to outperform over the long term, creating what Peachtree views as a compelling, durable opportunity.
“Developing hotels in today’s environment requires both conviction and capability,” said Will Woodworth, Peachtree’s senior vice president, investments. “High interest rates, elevated construction costs and tighter credit conditions have slowed new supply, but our vertically integrated platform and access to capital allow us to partner with best-in-class brands to deliver properties on-time and on-budget that will elevate the markets in which we build.”
Peachtree is one of the most active hotel and commercial real estate investors in the U.S., with more than $8 billion in asset value under management. The firm’s development program complements its credit and equity platforms, leveraging its vertically integrated structure to originate, acquire, develop and manage assets across the cycle.
