First Citizens Bank's Healthcare Finance business provided $36.2 million in acquisition financing to Anchor Health Properties to recapitalize three medical office buildings located in Charlotte, North Carolina and Seattle, Washington. Anchor Health Properties acquired these assets directly for its own balance sheet.

“Anchor Health Properties is a valued client and we’re delighted to support their growth initiatives with this financing so they can continue to build their high quality portfolio of medical office buildings,” said William Douglass, group head for Healthcare Finance.

“This transaction is an example of the deep relationships we foster with our clients that enable us to support them through various business endeavors,” said Steve Reedy, a managing director and head of medical office banking in Healthcare Finance.
