在快速变化的经济环境中，酒店开发商和贷款机构正在调整其战略，以确保酒店项目取得成功。我们与桃树集团酒店贷款执行副总裁兼CPACE主管贾里德·施洛瑟坐下来讨论了利率上升和通货膨胀压力如何影响贷款标准和财务规划。在 “活跃贷款” 小组讨论中听取贾里德的更多见解 住宿会议。
问：鉴于利率上升和通货膨胀压力，贷款机构如何调整酒店的承保标准？
杰瑞德·施洛瑟： 现在，一切都与现金流有关。除非背后有真实的故事，否则很难为任何形式的预期增长提供担保。贷款人专注于现金流，如果你能实现13％或更高的债务收益率，你就有资格获得永久债务、CMBS、人寿公司甚至银行收购。如果你没有达到这个门槛，那么你通常会进入私人信贷领域，而这正是Peachtree Group的用武之地。
问：贷款条款的当前趋势如何，例如贷款与价值（LTV）比率或利率？
JS: 差异很大，具体取决于每家贷款机构的风险门槛是多少。我看到的最大趋势是不确定利率将在多长时间内保持高位。因此，借款人正在寻求灵活性。他们愿意为收益维持时间较短或预付罚款较低的贷款支付溢价。许多人对像以前一样锁定长期固定利率债务犹豫不决。
我们提供固定利率和浮动利率贷款，但即使是固定利率产品，借款人也在努力确保尽可能多的灵活性。我们仍将达到70％的贷款比率（LTC）或LTV，有时会推高至75％或缩减规模，具体取决于我们的承保情况。相比之下，银行市场的平均水平接近50-55％，这凸显了我们的领域与传统银行之间的区别。
问：开发者应该如何调整他们在这个市场上的财务策略？
JS: 我总是说，在动荡的市场中，抢先一步。保持积极主动——无论是与我们还是与该领域的其他竞争对手进行对话，都要提前到期，尽早开始对话。目前，尽早参与是关键，因为未来非常不确定。
随着选举的临近、围绕美联储政策的波动以及是否会降息或维持高于预期的时间的问题，流动性正在波动。借款人越早进入市场寻求再融资或建筑融资，他们的一揽子计划准备得越充分，他们获得优惠条件的机会就越大。

The developer of an apartment complex in northwest Washington state has lined up $57.5 million of senior debt from Peachtree Group, including $29 million of commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing.
Grandview North is on track to complete the 350-unit Harrington Place, in Ferndale, by January 2026. Atlanta-based Peachtree funded $13 million of the debt at closing on Jan. 28.
The fixed-rate C-PACE loan has a 30-year term. The rest of the senior financing package, brokered by CapNorth, was structured as a $28.5 million, floating-rate construction loan with an initial term of 18 months, plus extension options.
As part of the deal, the term of an outstanding $20 million mezzanine loan from Hickory CRE Lending was adjusted to match that of the Peachtree floater. The project is expected to cost $90 million, which pegs the overall loan-to-cost ratio at roughly 86%.
New York-based Hickory originated its fully funded subordinate loan as part of a $77 million debt package that Arlington, Wash.-based Grandview lined up in April 2023. The package also included a $57 million senior-debt commitment from Bayview Asset Management of Coral Gables, Fla. Bayview’s portion, which never funded because construction was postponed due to permitting delays, was split between a $45 million construction loan from its Oceanview Life and Annuity affiliate and $12 million of C-PACE financing from its Bayview PACE unit.
Developers can use C-PACE loans, which are repaid via assessments collected with property taxes, to help finance commercial buildings that meet certain standards for energy efficiency and sustainability. For its part, Peachtree offers borrowers debt throughout the capital stack by providing such financing in conjunction with traditional construction and bridge loans, president Daniel Siegel said.
Harrington Place will comprise 11 buildings on an 18-acre site that Grandview has owned since late 2020. The 101 studios and 150 one-bedroom, 63 two-bedroom and 36 three-bedroom units will have quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances and full-size washer/dryers.
Amenities will include fitness, game and party rooms, a lounge, a playground, indoor and outdoor athletic courts, and a patio with grills. The property is at 6276 Portal Way, a half-mile west of the Nooksack River and 10 miles northwest of Bellingham, a growing city between Vancouver, Canada, to the north and Seattle to the south.
ATLANTA (Oct. 14, 2024) – Peachtree Group ("Peachtree") announced that its credit team has surpassed $1 billion in loan originations year-to-date, marking a major milestone and setting a new benchmark for the firm's performance this early in the year. The firm anticipates that its credit team will surpass $1.75 billion in loan originations in 2024.
“While the Federal Reserve has lowered rates to provide some relief to the overall economy, the commercial real estate sector will continue to face significant headwinds over the next few years,” said Jared Schlosser, executive vice president of hotel lending and head of CPACE for Peachtree.

The wave of debt maturities in the trillions of dollars positions private credit lenders like Peachtree to step in and close the funding gap left by traditional capital sources.
“With conventional lenders still on the sidelines, we have seen a significant shift in capital markets with private credit lenders supporting the industry as it faces a sharp rise in debt maturities potentially approaching $1.5 trillion through 2025,” Schlosser said.
Peachtree is ranked as the seventh-largest U.S. commercial real estate investor-driven lender by the Mortgage Bankers Association in its latest loan origination rankings.
As a direct lender in the commercial real estate space, Peachtree offers a wide range of financing solutions, including permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, CPACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing and preferred equity investments across all commercial real estate sectors.
Hotels represented the largest sector and surpassed $639 million in credit transactions year-to-date, marking a 176% increase compared to the same period last year. Multifamily originations are the next most significant sector, with the two asset classes accounting for 80% of all credit transactions.
Notable credit transactions closed this year:
· $47.0 million first mortgage loan for a multifamily property in Bradenton, Fla.
· $41.9 million first mortgage loan for a Kimpton Sylvan hotel in Atlanta, Ga.
· $40.0 million CPACE financing for an AC hotel in San Diego, Calif.
· $38.5 million first mortgage loan for a multifamily property in Miami, Fla.
· $26.4 million first mortgage loan for a Hampton Inn in Columbus, Ohio
“Peachtree has built a strong financial foundation over the years, giving it the stability to support commercial real estate owners in securing the funding needed for acquisitions, recapitalizations and development projects,” Schlosser concluded.
