随着利率的持续上升，银行和其他金融机构正在从商业房地产贷款中撤出。但是，即使在3月银行倒闭之后，亚特兰大的一家私募股权公司也看到了机会。首席执行官格雷格·弗里德曼说，在过去的12个月中，桃树集团一直 “积极” 地向无法为项目筹措债务的集团提供贷款。该公司还寻求从金融机构购买债务，以减少其商业房地产敞口。
In a recent discussion with Hotel Management, Brian Waldman, Chief Investment Officer at Peachtree Group, emphasized the importance of opportunistic investments in the current hospitality market. While premium-branded select-service and compact full-service hotels are generally stable across market cycles, Waldman noted that the most compelling opportunities often arise from unique situations rather than adhering strictly to a single chain scale or technology.
Waldman also highlighted the significance of transparency in hotel financing. He advised that owners should be forthcoming with lenders about potential challenges and deviations from plans, as early transparency fosters credibility and collaborative problem-solving, which is crucial in navigating financial uncertainties.
Peachtree Group's approach aligns with these insights, focusing on strategic investments that leverage both market opportunities and operational efficiencies. Their portfolio reflects a commitment to identifying and capitalizing on situations where value can be enhanced through decisive action and transparent partnerships.
