Peachtree Launches $250 Million Fund for Specific Scenarios, Targeting Hotel Market Disruption
The Peachtree Special Situations Fund, a new venture by Peachtree Group, aims to capitalise on specific market trends and challenges in the hotel and commercial real estate sectors. With a focus on underperforming assets, the fund is poised to unlock value in these sectors during a period when $1 trillion in loans are maturing in 2025.
The strategy of the fund is not about capitalising on chaos but rather on dislocation. It targets high-quality assets not distressed by systematic factors but by capital structure issues. This approach allows the fund to capitalise on opportunities created by market dislocation and refinancing challenges, as well as mispriced assets in high-demand markets like Texas, Florida, and California.
The fund's investment strategies include off-market acquisitions, preferred and hybrid equity solutions, and distressed purchases from lenders. Off-market acquisitions focus on underperforming or mispriced hotels and various sectors like multifamily properties, student housing, and self-storage. Preferred and hybrid equity solutions offer flexible capital to sponsors during acquisitions, development, or refinancing, with structures designed to protect investment basis and enhance yields. Distressed purchases from lenders involve acquiring assets directly at discounts to outstanding loans and below replacement costs.
Peachtree Group is uniquely positioned to deploy capital where it's needed most, delivering attractive returns while providing real solutions for sponsors and lenders alike. The speed and reliability of Peachtree's solutions are emphasized as key advantages in the current market environment, especially when dealing with complex capital stacks and distressed notes.
Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree, stated that the next 12 to 18 months offer compelling risk-adjusted opportunities. He also highlighted that Peachtree's platform includes direct lending, CPACE financing, development, acquisitions, and capital markets, offering a unique perspective on market dynamics.
The Peachtree Special Situations Fund is expected to have its first close within the next 60 to 90 days, with the final close occurring within 18 months of the initial closing. The fund is set to provide a valuable solution for real estate owners grappling with capital gaps due to high interest rates and limited liquidity, offering a promising outlook for both the fund and the real estate market.
