Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (KAREA) is a vertically integrated team made up of real estate professionals who average more than 16 years experience. KAREA invests directly in real estate assets, primarily in sectors that require specialized skills and market knowledge, exhibit historically recession-resistant cash flows, contain strong demographic growth and have highly fragmented ownership. We pursue an opportunistic investment approach that seeks to identify off-market deals with a focus on capital preservation and risk-adjusted return. We invest principally in niche sectors including student housing, medical office, senior housing and self storage. Our target acquisition size is generally $30 to $500 million, and we prefer to acquire properties in highly fragmented, high barrier to entry sectors with few well capitalized companies and/or proficient, specialized operators that also exhibit historical performance during all economic cycles.
