Peachtree Group Launches $250M Fund to Target Mispriced Hotel, Other CRE Assets
Peachtree Group has launched its $250 million Peachtree Special Situations Fund, designed to seize opportunities in mispriced, high-quality hotel and commercial real estate assets amid growing market dislocation. Positioned between value-add and opportunistic strategies, the fund aims to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns by investing in assets experiencing capital structure distress rather than systemic decline.
The fund’s investment scope includes off-market acquisitions, preferred and hybrid equity, and lender-driven distressed opportunities. It seeks to capitalize on refinancing challenges and capital shortfalls that have intensified across the CRE sector, particularly in hospitality.
“We believe the next 12 to 18 months offer some of the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities we’ve seen since the global financial crisis,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “As balance sheet stress and refinancing hurdles intensify in the hotel space and other commercial real estate sectors, Peachtree is uniquely positioned to deploy capital where it’s needed most.”
The fund will target assets across the U.S., with particular emphasis on high-demand markets undergoing pricing resets, including Texas, Florida, and California. Peachtree expects its first close within 60 to 90 days, followed by a final close within 18 months of the initial round.
“This fund is about capitalizing on dislocation, not chaos,” Friedman added. “We’re targeting high-quality assets not distressed by systematic factors but by capital structure, and we’re doing it with the speed, creativity and certainty of execution that have defined Peachtree’s reputation for more than a decade.”
Peachtree’s fully integrated platform spans lending, CPACE financing, acquisitions, development, and capital markets.
