Kayne Anderson Real Estate

Kayne Anderson Real Estate is the real estate platform of Kayne Anderson, an alternative investment manager working across real estate, credit, infrastructure and energy. Since 2007 it has invested in what it calls alternative real estate sectors: medical office buildings, high-end seniors housing, off-campus student housing and multifamily, and self-storage, with dedicated teams also covering attainable multifamily and light industrial.

The platform runs four strategies: opportunistic equity, alternative core, attainable housing and real estate debt. It is vertically integrated, with separate teams for transactions, capital markets, investments, fund management, debt origination and debt asset management, medical office, seniors housing, student and multifamily housing, and design and construction. Sourcing runs through relationships with property managers, operating partners and health and hospital systems, which the firm says give it a first and last look at most significant deals in its sectors; financing runs through relationship lenders it describes as providing tailored lending programs.

Kayne Anderson reports $41B in assets under management, 350 employees across the U.S. and Europe and 150 investment professionals as of June 30, 2026, and dates the firm to 1984. The offices tagged to real estate work are Boca Raton, where the real estate team sits, and New York, home to specialized real estate debt, with further offices in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and London.

This is institutional capital and the site publishes no check sizes, return targets or fee terms. The pages reviewed describe equity and debt strategies but do not mention preferred equity, so confirm what structure is actually on offer, and in which sectors, before taking a deal to the team.
