Peachtree Group Ranks 8th in U.S. CRE Lending for 2024
PEACHTREE GROUP IS the eighth-largest commercial real estate lender in the U.S., according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s 2024 loan origination rankings. The company deployed $1.6 billion in commercial real estate credit investments.
The MBA also ranked Peachtree seventh among U.S. CRE hotel lenders for the fourth consecutive year and recognized it across the office, multifamily, retail, and industrial sectors, Peachtree said in a statement.
“With a substantial volume of maturities on the horizon and trillions in debt coming due through 2028, the current environment favors private credit lenders like Peachtree,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s managing principal and CEO. “We’re well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and help close the funding gap left by traditional capital sources.”
Atlanta-based Peachtree is led by Friedman, Managing Principal; CFO Jatin Desai; and Principal Mitul Patel.
Peachtree completed 22 CPACE transactions in 2024, totaling $316.6 million, setting a firm record, the statement said. The CPACE team also surpassed $1 billion in total transaction volume, expanding Peachtree’s lending platform.
Michael Harper, Peachtree’s president of hotel lending, said the hospitality sector remains resilient due to strong demand fundamentals.
“We remain committed to supporting owners and operators with expansion, renovation, and refinancing needs—leveraging our strategic capital deployment and adaptability to drive long-term value,” Harper said.
Amid market volatility, Peachtree deployed nearly $500 million in credit transactions during the first quarter and is on track to exceed its 2024 production targets.
Notable originations include:
- $59 million bridge loan – AC/Element Hotel, San Antonio, Texas
- $51.5 million bridge loan and CPACE financing – Reserve at Vinedo, Paso Robles, California
- $48.3 million bridge loan and CPACE financing – Yorkshire Apartments, Tumwater, Washington
- $43 million bridge loan – Home2 Suites/Tru Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
- $42.8 million bridge loan – The Jax Apartments, Monroe, Georgia
"Our fourth consecutive top-10 year underscores the strength of our credit platform and our ability to lend through business cycles," Harper said. "These results reflect our reputation for reliability and delivering certainty of execution, even in volatile market conditions."
Peachtree offers a range of financing solutions, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine financing, CPACE loans, and preferred equity investments. The firm expanded its capabilities last year by launching a Triple Net Lease financing program to support sponsors.
MBA's annual originations rankings report lists 149 commercial/multifamily mortgage originators, their 2024 volumes, and their roles.
Peachtree recently premiered its financed films, We Bury the Dead and The Surfer, at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas.
