本周早些时候的消费者价格指数报告显示，在PPI高于预期之后，美国的通货膨胀压力今年首次减轻。这可能表明美联储为缓解消费者价格压力所做的持续努力已开始取得成果。但是，我们仍远未达到2％，但也许美联储已经看到通货膨胀率终于走向下行了。在我看来，美联储需要进一步的数据来增强考虑降息所需的信心。
当今的长期高利率正在抑制经济活动，并面临衰退的风险。对于商业房地产行业来说，时间至关重要，因为我们已经处于衰退之中，我对今年降息的前景视而不见。
这种持续的通货膨胀严重挑战了商业房地产行业，尤其是在数万亿美元的债务到期的情况下。通货膨胀率上升增加了借贷成本，使现金流紧张并影响了房地产估值。
随着债务的到期，财产所有者将面临以明显更高的利率进行再融资，这导致偿债成本增加和盈利能力降低。这种现金流压力，加上更高的支出和更低的收入，造成了恶性循环。随着借贷成本的上升，房地产估值下降，投资者要求更高的回报，从而疲软了市场。这种螺旋式下降加剧了财务限制，有可能导致违约和市场不稳定，这种情况需要立即关注。
美联储能否在不引发新的经济挑战的情况下使我们在更大规模的崩溃之前摆脱这种螺旋式循环？
前进的道路可能需要根据经济数据进行货币政策调整，可能还需要采取更有针对性的财政干预措施来支持脆弱部门。
无论市场走向何方，我都对未来的机遇充满热情，我们的团队已经做好了应对挑战的充分准备。

Reuters | US summer flight bookings are down 10% year-on-year — even though airfares are cheaper — and the airline sector is lagging behind the wider market. Nevertheless, Greg Friedman of Peachtree Group says the market will pick up and even benefit in 2026.
Schwab Network: With the summer season well underway, Greg Friedman is bullish on hotel and travel stocks. He believes there's favoritism toward some companies that investors may not realize unless they look under the surface. Greg breaks down the trends he sees to explain why optimism is high for companies like Hyatt (H), Hilton (HLT), and Airbnb (ABNB).
ATLANTA (July 21, 2025) - Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a leading vertically integrated commercial real estate investment platform, today announced the launch of its Peachtree Special Situations Fund, a $250 million fund designed to unlock value in mispriced, high-quality hotel and other commercial real estate assets due to today’s capital market illiquidity rather than underlying fundamentals.
“We believe the next 12 to 18 months offer some of the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities we’ve seen since the global financial crisis,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “As balance sheet stress and refinancing hurdles intensify in the hotel space and other commercial real estate sectors, Peachtree is uniquely positioned to deploy capital where it’s needed most, delivering attractive returns while providing real solutions for sponsors and lenders alike.”
With nearly $1 trillion in commercial real estate loans maturing in 2025 and hotels carrying some of the largest refinancing and capital expenditure burdens, Peachtree’s Special Situations Fund is positioned to step in where traditional capital has pulled back.
Many hotel and commercial real estate owners who financed properties in the zero-interest-rate era now face gaps in their capital stacksas rates remain elevated and liquidity tightens. Peachtree’s strategy bridges this gap by providing creative downside-protected capital solutions to reposition assets and unlock embedded value.
“This fund is about capitalizing on dislocation, not chaos,” Friedman said. “We’re targeting high-quality assets not distressed by systematic factors but by capital structure, and we’re doing it with the speed, creativity and certainty of execution that have defined Peachtree’s reputation for more than a decade.”
The Special Situations Fund targets investments that sit between value-add and opportunistic, combining attractive upside potential with meaningful downside protection. Core strategies include:
· Off-market acquisitions: Securing underperforming or mispriced hotels as well as select multifamily, student housing, self-storage and other commercial real estate sectors for repositioning and stabilization.
· Preferred and hybrid equity solutions: Providing flexible capital to sponsors needing liquidity for acquisitions, development or refinancing with structures designed to protect basis and enhance current yields.
· Distressed purchases from lenders: Acquiring assets directly from banks through deed-in-lieu or post-foreclosure transactions, often at discounts to outstanding loan balances and well below replacement cost.
Peachtree’s fully integrated platform spans direct lending, CPACE financing, development, acquisitions and capital markets and provides a unique lens into shifting market dynamics. Long standing relationships with community and regional banks and other stakeholders enable Peachtree to source high-value opportunities early before they reach the broader market.
“We’re the first call when a sponsor or lender needs a fast, reliable solution,” Friedman said. “Speed and surety of close are critical in this environment, especially when dealing with complex capital stacks and distressed notes.”
The fund’s geographic focus is nationwide, with significant deal flow expected in markets with strong demand fundamentals and recent pricing resets, including Texas, Florida and California. Peachtree expects to hold its first close within the next 60 to 90 days and complete the final close within its targeted 18 months following the initial close.
