Kayne Anderson Real Estate Forms Joint Venture With Tradition Senior Living on Texas Seniors Housing Portfolio, Newmark Advises

Kayne Anderson Real Estate has formed a joint venture with Tradition Senior Living to recapitalize a five-property, Class A seniors housing portfolio in Texas, the firms announced June 15, 2026. Newmark served as exclusive advisor to Tradition Senior Living on the transaction and also arranged financing on behalf of the joint venture.

The deal marks Kayne Anderson Real Estate's first partnership with Tradition Senior Living and adds to its existing seniors housing holdings. Tradition Senior Living will continue as operating partner and property manager under the new joint venture structure.

Portfolio Overview: 1,546 Units Across Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston

The portfolio comprises five institutional-quality communities situated in affluent submarkets across the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas. Collectively, the assets total 1,546 units spanning independent living, assisted living and memory care, offering residents what the announcement described as a comprehensive continuum of care.

The communities are approximately 96% occupied and are characterized by high-end amenities, programming and operational performance, according to the announcement.
