Peachtree managing principal and CEO Greg Friedman said: “Our continued level of activity reflects the strong demand we are seeing for reliable lending partners across commercial real estate.

The Hilton Miami Beach Convention Center Hotel is scheduled to open in May 2026.
In July 2025, Peachtree Group launched the $250m Special Situations Fund, aimed at capitalising on undervalued hotel and commercial real estate assets.
