Ares Industrial Real Estate Income Trust Inc., a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust managed by Ares Management Corporation (NYSE: ARES) and formerly known as Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc., has declared a monthly net asset value per share for its classes of common stock, as of Jan. 31, 2023.
As of January 2023, the REIT’s Class T, Class D and Class I shares were valued at approximately $15.15 per share, compared to $15.26 per share the previous month. The fund’s aggregate NAV remained at $4.89 billion.
Class T shares are available to the general public; Class W shares are generally available through fee-based programs known as wrap accounts; and Class I shares are available to institutional investors. Shares were originally priced at $10.00 each plus applicable selling commissions and fees.
