PEACHTREE GROUP ACQUIRED more than $330 million in loans year to date from U.S. banks and private lenders, including a lender-financed transaction secured by loan portfolios. The firm’s 2026 volume follows approximately $570 million in loan acquisitions in 2025.
Peachtree’s recent acquisitions include positions tied to loan portfolios, reflecting access to real estate-backed credit through originations and secondary financing relationships, the company said. Atlanta-based Peachtree is led by Principal and CEO Greg Friedman, Principal and CFO Jatin Desai and Principal Mitul Patel.
“While some areas of private credit have drawn attention for stress, we are seeing fundamentally sound loans come to market as banks and lenders de-risk,” said Friedman. “This creates opportunities to provide liquidity and assume positions that require more complex underwriting.”
Peachtree ranked 10th among U.S. investor-driven commercial real estate lenders, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Year to date, transactions have been sourced from regional banks and private lenders seeking to reduce exposure or improve liquidity, with loans backed by stabilized commercial real estate assets, the statement said. Market participants say banks continue to limit concentration risk and manage portfolio exposure, expanding the role of private capital in financing gaps.
The company also structured its capital to match investment duration, aiming to reduce liquidity mismatches and deploy capital during market disruption. It positions itself as a capital partner for lenders adjusting portfolio allocations.
Friedman said private credit remains part of the capital stack.
“Performance is increasingly tied to underwriting discipline and structuring expertise, particularly in a market defined by variability across assets and borrowers,” he said.
Peachtree recently named Mike Morey executive vice president of capital markets.
