Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”), a diversified commercial real estate investment platform, deployed $3.0 billion in credit transactions in 2025, representing an 86.8% increase from 2024. The milestone underscores the firm’s expanding private credit platform and its ability to deliver capital solutions across a broad range of commercial real estate sectors.

Peachtree Group originated a $42 million first mortgage loan to finance the acquisition and repositioning of the Atlanta Financial Center, a 914,774-square-foot Class A office campus in Buckhead, Atlanta.
Founded in 2007, Peachtree has evolved into a vertically integrated investment firm with deep capabilities across sourcing, underwriting and asset management. Since entering private credit in 2010, the firm has played a meaningful role in providing capital to commercial real estate sectors underserved by traditional lenders. Continued investment in talent, infrastructure and product development has accelerated Peachtree’s growth as a scaled commercial real estate lender.
“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 and managing principal of 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 and principal, CRE at 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 Mortgage Bankers Association recognized Peachtree as the seventh-largest investor-driven commercial real estate lender in the United States, reinforcing its position as a leading nonbank capital provider.
Peachtree also continued to lead the market in CPACE financing, closing a record 31 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 of CPACE and originations at Peachtree. “Our historic high year reflects strong sponsor demand and our ability to structure solutions that align economic and environmental priorities for real assets.”
“Our focus remains on building a scalable lending platform designed to perform across cycles,” Friedman added. “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.”
