Peachtree Group, the Atlanta-based commercial real estate investment firm, has closed more than $2 billion in private credit transactions in 2025, according to the company, and has signaled plans for continued growth in the sector.
The firm has reported growth from prior-year levels in credit deployments. It has been ranked among larger investor-driven commercial real estate lenders by the Mortgage Bankers Association, according to peachtreegroup.com.
Hospitality lending has anchored recent activity. The firm has been broadening its reach into multifamily, office, and industrial properties alongside its hotel focus.
C-PACE financing has formed a notable part of the portfolio, according to peachtreegroup.com. Among the transactions referenced on the site was a C-PACE deal involving the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
C-PACE — Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy — financing has become an increasingly popular tool for developers because it allows long-term, fixed-rate funding tied to a property's energy or sustainability improvements, repaid through a property tax assessment rather than a traditional loan structure.
Peachtree Group operates as a direct lender, offering permanent and bridge loans, mezzanine financing, preferred equity, and government-backed programs including SBA and USDA lending. That range of products positions the firm to step into gaps left by traditional banks, which have pulled back from commercial real estate lending amid tighter credit conditions and a wave of debt maturities hitting the market.
Founded in 2007, the firm has grown into a diversified platform that also covers acquisitions, development, asset management, hotel management, and capital markets advisory — but private credit has clearly become a defining engine of its recent expansion.
Why it matters — As traditional banks continue pulling back from commercial real estate lending, Peachtree Group's record deployment shows how private lenders are filling that void — with direct consequences for what gets built, financed, and renovated across the hospitality and real estate sectors.
