- Peachtree secures $52.4 million loan for a film studio in Douglasville, Georgia.
- The 39-acre complex opened in late 2023.
- The property is currently leased to Lionsgate.
PEACHTREE GROUP SECURED a $52.4 million C-PACE loan to refinance Great Point Studios in Douglasville, Georgia. The property is currently leased to Lionsgate.
The 39-acre, 370,000-square-foot complex, which opened in late 2023, includes 12 soundstages, according to Peachtree.
The transaction followed the firm’s advocacy for statewide C-PACE legislation, which Georgia implemented in 2024, said Jared Schlosser, Peachtree’s head of credit originations. He emphasized the strategic advantage of the financing structure for a purpose-built studio asset. The deal is the largest C-PACE loan transaction in Georgia.
“These types of assets are not necessarily the easiest to finance,” Schlosser said. “To be able to utilize the efficiencies that were already put into it and allow over $50 million to refinance the property is a unique way to finance an asset that in the traditional capital markets would be more challenging to finance.”
Schlosser said that the studio is well-positioned within Georgia’s competitive film market due to its long-term Lionsgate lease, proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the state’s favorable film tax incentives.
Atlanta-based Peachtree is led by CEO Greg Friedman, CFO and Managing Principal Jatin Desai and Principal Mitul Patel.
Recently, the group received a $50 million warehouse funding facility from Western Alliance Bank to expand its Equipment Finance division. The company aims to provide capital to businesses nationwide.
