Branch Properties has completed a $56 million refinancing of Peachtree Battle Shopping Center, a grocery-anchored retail property in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood. The 153,585-square-foot center sits at 2333-2365 Peachtree Road NE and serves as a long-held asset in Branch Properties’ portfolio, with the firm having owned the property since 1982. The new financing replaces existing debt on the center and is intended to support the asset’s long-term positioning within a competitive in-town retail corridor.
Delta Community Credit Union provided the refinancing for Peachtree Battle Shopping Center. The loan proceeds will refinance current obligations on the property while backing Branch Properties’ strategy for the center going forward. The use of credit union financing underscores the appetite among depository lenders for stable, necessity-based retail in established neighborhoods where fundamentals remain resilient.
CBRE’s Debt & Structured Finance team arranged the financing on behalf of Branch Properties. The team included Richard Henry, Mike Ryan, Blake Cohen, JP Cordeiro and Taylor Mathis. Their mandate covered sourcing and securing the refinancing package, aligning lender requirements with the center’s performance profile and occupancy metrics. The execution reflects continued capital availability for well-leased grocery-anchored centers with long-term ownership and established tenancy.
Peachtree Battle Shopping Center is 95.9% leased, demonstrating strong tenant demand in the immediate trade area. The property is anchored by Publix, which has maintained operations at the site since 1988. The center’s high occupancy rate and anchor stability contribute to its positioning as a neighborhood-serving retail hub, drawing consistent traffic and reinforcing its role within the Buckhead community.
Within the Buckhead/Lenox retail submarket, vacancy remains below the broader metro average, and asking rents have continued to grow. These market conditions support lender interest in high-performing neighborhood retail assets, particularly those anchored by essential-service tenants such as grocers. In this context, Peachtree Battle Shopping Center’s long-term ownership, strong leasing profile and established anchor align with the type of retail properties that are currently attracting refinancing capital.
Branch Properties is an Atlanta-based owner and operator of grocery-anchored shopping centers across the Southeast. Its long tenure with Peachtree Battle Shopping Center provides continuity at the asset level and reflects a longstanding commitment to grocery-anchored retail in core submarkets. The newly secured refinancing with Delta Community Credit Union positions the property to remain a key component of the firm’s regional portfolio while benefiting from supportive submarket dynamics and sustained tenant demand.
