CIT Group Inc. announced that CIT Real Estate Finance provided a $33 million senior secured credit facility to Exeter Property Group, a real estate private equity firm that acquires, develops, and manages commercial properties across the U.S. The facility was utilized to finance a portfolio of seven office buildings in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Financing was provided by CIT Bank, the U.S. commercial bank subsidiary of CIT. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

This is CIT’s second transaction with Exeter Property Group this year.
