The Carlyle Group, which joined in the purchase of Florida’s BankUnited last month, is considering another banking investment. It is part of a group including Blackstone Group LP and TPG that is in talks to acquire San Francisco-based First Republic Bank from Bank of America Corp.
On May 22, Carlyle Group, along with Blackstone Group, Centerbridge Partners and WL Ross & Co., invested $900 million in a new depository institution acquiring the operations of Coral Gables-based BankUnited, which was seized by government regulators the previous day.
