CIT Group Inc. (NYSE: CIT) today announced that its Real Estate Finance division served as co-lead arranger on $90.6 million in financing for a new multifamily housing project in Washington, D.C.

The project will be built by a joint venture managed by MRP Realty and Barings, one of the world's largest diversified real estate investment managers, on behalf of institutional investors.

"We are proud to partner with MRP and CIT on this project and are looking forward to working with them in the future."
