Platform identity and ownership
Ares Management describes Ares Real Estate Exchange (AREX) as a program under Internal Revenue Code Sections 1031 and 721 that allows owners of appreciated real estate to exchange an investment property for access to commercial real estate1. The platform came to Ares through corporate acquisition: on July 1, 2021, Ares closed its purchase of Black Creek Group's U.S. real-estate investment advisory and distribution business, and the filing states that the former Black Creek sponsor was not acquired and that the Ares real-estate group became the sponsor2. Effective November 30, 2021, the parent amended its charter to change its name from Black Creek Diversified Property Fund Inc. to Ares Real Estate Income Trust Inc.3. The sponsoring entity carries the same lineage: Ares Diversified Real Estate Exchange LLC, formerly Black Creek Exchange LLC, is described in the parent's 2024 Form 10-K, filed February 28, 2025, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the taxable REIT subsidiary, which is wholly owned by the operating partnership4.
DST Program structure and reported scale
An August 22, 2024 parent filing describes the DST Program as offering interests in one or more real properties placed into one or more Delaware statutory trusts by the operating partnership or its affiliates, with those interests able to serve as replacement properties for Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; the same filing reported $2.08 billion of gross interests sold under the DST Program as of December 31, 20235. For 2024, the issuer reported selling $797.0 million of gross interests related to the DST Program, of which $63.3 million were financed by DST Program Loans4.

Sequentially numbered ADREX Diversified programs appear in each year through 2026, alongside AIREX Portfolio 7 through 11 DST and ADREX Signature Series DST, first filed in 20256. A February 27, 2026 amendment for ADREX Diversified 10 DST identified Ares Diversified Real Estate Exchange LLC as the sponsor of that trust7.
