Peachtree Group deployed $3 billion in credit transactions in 2025, representing an 86.8% increase from 2024.
“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, CEO/managing principal, Peachtree. “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.”
As a direct lender, Peachtree offers a comprehensive suite of financing solutions, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE loans and preferred equity. In 2025, the firm further expanded its platform with the continued buildout of its government lending platform, which includes programs backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federally guaranteed loan programs, broadening its ability to support sponsors across asset types and capital needs.
“With banks pulling back and refinancing risk rising across the market, demand for experienced private lenders has accelerated,” said Daniel Siegel, president/ principal, CRE, Peachtree. “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.”
The company also closed a record 31 CPACE transactions totaling $538.2 million during the year. “CPACE has emerged as a powerful tool for owners looking to enhance property performance, reduce operating costs and address sustainability goals,” said Jared Schlosser, head, CPACE and originations, Peachtree. “Our historic high year reflects strong sponsor demand and our ability to structure solutions that align economic and environmental priorities for real assets.”
Friedman added, “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.”
