Los Angeles, CA – October 17, 2025 – Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP (JMBM) recently represented Peachtree Group in the origination of the three-year, floating-rate, $55 million bridge loan with two 12-month extension options for Nimes Real Estate to recapitalize the Hotel Amarano Burbank-Hollywood.
David Sudeck, partner and co-chair of the Firm's Global Hospitality Group®, led the JMBM team that included partner Brandon Chock. The Firm also represents Peachtree in connection with its multi-state C-PACE lending program.
The Global Hospitality Group® of JMBM is the premier hospitality practice in a full-service law firm and the most experienced legal and advisory team in the industry. Our team of seasoned hotel lawyers has helped clients with more than 4,700 hospitality properties located around the globe valued at more than $125 billion, providing one of the most extensive virtual data bases of market terms for deals and financings.
Nimes Real Estate acquired the 132-room Hotel Amarano in late 2019, before completing a multimillion-dollar renovation. Since its purchase, the hotel has faced challenges, including the pandemic in 2020 and the five-month Writers Guild of America strike in 2023. The recapitalization will enable the hotel to stabilize, thanks in part to its location in the middle of the Burbank Media District.
"There is already a ton of in-place demand that they draw from. It's a very high-quality, renovated hotel, plus there is a lot of growth in the market, so they are well positioned to take advantage of that, " Keegan Bisch, vice president of originations and credit at Peachtree, told Commercial Observer.
