NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewsCentre/ — CIT Group Inc. (NYSE: CIT) today announced that its Healthcare Finance business served as sole lead arranger on $16.1 million in financing for the acquisition of a portfolio of dialysis centers.
Cypress West Partners acquired the portfolio of six newly constructed built-to-suit dialysis centers in Meridian, McComb and Jackson, Mississippi; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Sacramento, California; and Bellmead, Texas. The facilities are occupied by Fresenius Medical Care, a leading dialysis provider.
