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.
