Our Strategies

Real Estate

Since 2007, Kayne Anderson Real Estate has invested in alternative real estate sectors including medical office, high-end seniors housing, off-campus student housing/multifamily, and self-storage. Our vertically integrated team brings expertise in all aspects of real estate investing and management to each of our investments.

Why Real Estate?

Kayne Anderson Real Estate invests in alternative real estate sectors including medical office buildings, seniors housing, student housing, multifamily, and self-storage.

These sectors feature favorable dynamics

  • Highly fragmented ownership
  • Barriers to entry, specialized knowledge requirement, and operational intensity
  • Low correlation to the broader economy with strong performance throughout downturns
  • Strong risk-adjusted cash-on-cash yields
  • Aggregation premium for large, stabilized portfolios

Coupling these dynamics with Kayne Anderson Real Estate’s distinctive advantages in sourcing, financing, operating, and exiting creates a favorable environment for attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors.

Investment Strategy

Kayne Anderson Real Estate focuses on medical office, high-end seniors housing, off-campus student housing/multifamily, and self-storage, all of which exhibit strong demographic trends and historical resistance to economic downturns.

By targeting investments ranging in size from $25 million to $1 billion+, Kayne Anderson Real Estate seeks to enhance value through asset consolidation and the creation of geographically diverse portfolios.

The cornerstone of Kayne Anderson Real Estate’s investment strategy is our ability to apply our deep professional real estate experience and extensive network to bring value to fragmented sectors experiencing growth but lacking capital efficiencies and sophisticated operational and investment focus. Our seasoned real estate professionals in acquisitions, development, asset management, design and construction management, marketing, legal, accounting, and operations bring a full complement of skills to each asset in which we invest, enabling us to manage and operate our assets to create maximum value.
