Peachtree Group announced it deployed $3 billion across credit transactions in 2025, an 86.8% increase from 2024 as the Atlanta-based commercial real estate investment platform continued to expand beyond its hospitality roots and scale its private lending business.
The firm, founded in 2007, said its credit platform has grown through continued investment in talent, infrastructure and product development, helping it broaden origination and underwriting capabilities across multiple commercial real estate sectors. Peachtree entered private credit in 2010 and said it has increasingly focused on providing capital to segments it views as underserved by traditional lenders.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Principal Greg Friedman said Peachtree has intentionally diversified into additional asset classes in recent years. The company said it has deployed more than $2 billion across non-hospitality sectors over the past three years, including multifamily, industrial, retail, land and mixed-use.
Peachtree said it provides a range of financing products, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE loans and preferred equity. In 2025, the firm also cited continued buildout of a government lending platform that includes programs backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federally guaranteed loan programs.
Peachtree also highlighted third-party recognition for its lending footprint, saying the Mortgage Bankers Association ranked it as the seventh-largest investor-driven commercial real estate lender in the U.S.
In CPACE, Peachtree said it closed a record 31 transactions totaling $538.2 million in 2025, which Head of CPACE and Originations Jared Schlosser described as a reflection of sponsor demand for financing that supports property performance improvements, operating-cost reductions and sustainability initiatives.
Peachtree is a vertically integrated investment management firm focused on opportunities in dislocated markets, anchored by commercial real estate, with capital deployment across acquisitions, development and lending.
KEY QUOTES:
“Hospitality always will be a core part of our DNA, but it no longer defines the full scope of what we do. Three years ago, we made a deliberate decision 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.” “Our focus remains on building a scalable lending platform designed to perform across cycles. As dislocation persists and capital needs grow, we believe Peachtree is well positioned to continue expanding while delivering long-term value for borrowers and investors.”
Greg Friedman, CEO and Managing Principal, Peachtree Group
“With banks pulling back and refinancing risk rising across the market, demand for experienced private lenders has accelerated. Borrowers are not just looking for capital. 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.”
Daniel Siegel, President and Principal, CRE, Peachtree Group
“CPACE has emerged as a powerful tool for owners looking to enhance property performance, reduce operating costs and address sustainability goals. Our historic high year reflects strong sponsor demand and our ability to structure solutions that align economic and environmental priorities for real assets.”
Jared Schlosser, Head of CPACE and Originations, Peachtree Group
