Peachtree Group unveiled its latest Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) after the acquisition of a newly built 131,040-square-foot industrial facility in Mansfield, Texas.
This marks another milestone for the company, which has completed approximately USD 320 million in debt-free transactions since initiating its DST program in 2022, according to an official statement.
The newly completed rear-load facility, finished in 2025, offers 36-foot clear ceilings, a spacious three-acre outdoor storage area, and potential for future growth. Peachtree acquired the property at USD 180 per square foot, a price below the current market rate. The building is fully leased to Ferguson, a leading distributor serving professional contractors across North America, the company stated.
Ferguson entered into a 10-year corporate lease starting in March, featuring annual rent increases of 3%, two five-year renewal options, and minimal landlord responsibilities, according to the statement. With strong investment-grade credit ratings of BBB+ from S&P as well as Baa1 from Moody’s, Ferguson enhances the trust’s income stability and risk profile.
Peachtree’s platform, comprising DSTs, Opportunity Zones, as well as REIT structures, is designed to optimize tax efficiency, compound returns, and deliver risk-adjusted performance, all backed by Peachtree’s comprehensive asset management capabilities. This approach also supports corporate liquidity management by providing investors with flexible, income-generating commercial real estate opportunities that improve cash flow and balance sheet strength.
This acquisition also underscores Peachtree’s strong position within the Real Estate Property Management, leveraging integrated asset management strategies to maximize value and operational efficiency across its portfolio.
Executive Statement
According to Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s managing principal and CEO, in today's higher-rate environment, where tighter credit and volatile valuations challenge traditional ownership, DSTs have emerged as a compelling alternative. They deliver attractive cash flows backed by institutional-quality assets, while also offering tax advantages, professional management, and diversification.
