Fearon Melton is the Founder and Managing Principal of Resilient Real Estate Partners.

These decisions are similar to the analyses she conducted in her past position as a senior investment professional at MBRE Healthcare, which is now known as Remedy Medical Properties.

Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors is the subsidiary of LA based Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, which ultimately managed ~$26B of AUM during the same period. Those medical office acquisitions were approximately 19% of Kayne Anderson Capital’s total assets under management. Her group was consistently recognized as one the most active buyers and largest institutional owners of medical office real estate, many years participating in more than 10% of all closed medical office transactions for the year. Before MBRE Healthcare, Fearon completed M.B.A studies at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, where she concentrated in finance, accounting, and real estate. Prior to obtaining her graduate degree, Fearon worked in New York with J.P. Morgan’s investment bank and for a regional accounting firm in Charlotte, North Carolina.
