Peachtree Group deployed $3 billion in credit transactions in 2025, which marks a significant expansion of the firm’s private credit platform and lending activity across multiple commercial real estate sectors.
Peachtree’s 2025 credit transaction total represents an 86.8 percent increase from the prior year. The Atlanta-based firm also reported a record year in CPACE financing, closing 31 transactions totaling $538.2 million.
Founded in 2007, Peachtree is now a vertically integrated commercial real estate investment firm with in-house sourcing, underwriting and asset management services. Since launching its private credit business in 2010, the firm has focused on providing capital to property types and situations often underserved by traditional lenders, a strategy that has driven its recent growth, according to the company.
“Hospitality always will be a core part of our DNA, but it no longer defines the full scope of what we do,” Greg Friedman, CEO and managing principal of Peachtree, said in a statement. “Three years ago, we made a deliberate decision to expand into additional asset classes and build a scaled commercial real estate credit platform.”
Friedman noted that since that strategic shift, the firm has deployed more than $2 billion across non-hospitality sectors, including multi-family, industrial, retail, land and mixed-use assets. As a direct lender, Peachtree provides a range of financing products, including permanent and bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE loans, and preferred equity.
In 2025, the firm continued to build out its government lending platform, which includes programs backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federally guaranteed loan programs.
