Since entering private credit in 2010, Peachtree has provided capital to commercial real estate sectors underserved by traditional lenders and invested in talent, infrastructure and product development, the company said in a statement. It offers financing solutions, including permanent and bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE loans and preferred equity.
“Hospitality always will be a core part of our DNA, but it no longer defines the full scope of what we do,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s CEO and managing principal. “Three years ago, we decided to expand into additional asset classes and build a scaled commercial real estate credit platform. Since then, we’ve deployed more than $2 billion across non-hospitality sectors, including multifamily, industrial, retail, land and mixed-use. That diversification reflects where we see durable demand for private credit and how we’ve positioned the platform to lend across cycles.”
Atlanta-based Peachtree is led by Friedman, CFO and Managing Principal Jatin Desai and Principal Mitul Patel.
Daniel Siegel, president and principal for CRE, said that with banks pulling back and refinancing risk rising, demand for private lenders has increased.
“Borrowers are not just looking for capital,” he said. “They are looking for partners who understand assets, cash flow and downside risk. Our growth reflects the trust we have built by consistently delivering flexible and reliable financing solutions.”
Jared Schlosser, head of CPACE and originations, said CPACE is a tool for owners to improve property performance, lower operating costs and meet sustainability goals.
“Our record year reflects strong sponsor demand and our ability to structure solutions that align economic and environmental priorities for real assets,” he said.
Peachtree’s Equipment Finance division closed $29.8 million in capital lease and fair market value transactions across multiple industries in its first full quarter after the platform launched in October, including equipment for transportation, technology, and material handling.
