Peachtree Group Overview

Peachtree Group is an Atlanta vertically integrated investment manager with more than $2.5 billion in equity under management and over $9 billion in asset value, anchored in deep hospitality expertise across 48-plus hotels and extended into CRE lending, CPACE financing and, since 2022, a debt-free DST platform. Ranked a top-15 DST sponsor in 2024 on the strength of seven all-cash DST acquisitions, and complemented by EB-5 and QOZ programs, Peachtree brings unusual capital-markets breadth—equity, credit and tax-advantaged structures—to the exchange channel. The hospitality depth and lending arm differentiate it from pure-play property sponsors.

Peachtree Group Strategies & Advantages

  • Anchored in deep hospitality-investing expertise across 48+ hotels, an unusual DST specialization.
  • Operates a CRE credit and CPACE arm exceeding $600 million.
  • Sponsors debt-free DSTs (seven all-cash acquisitions), eliminating lender risk.
  • Ranked a top-15 DST sponsor in 2024.
  • Complements with EB-5 and QOZ programs; manages $2.5B+ in equity.
These describe the sponsor’s approach and potential advantages only, and should be weighed against the risks common to DST investments — illiquidity, loss of principal, and no guaranteed distributions. Full risk factors are in each offering’s Private Placement Memorandum.
