AEW has agreed to acquire Alternative Income REIT plc, a UK listed real estate investment trust focused on properties in alternative and specialist sectors. The transaction was announced on 21 April 2026, though the specific deal value and consideration structure were not disclosed to the public. The target operates exclusively within Great Britain, and the deal type remains unclassified in available records.
The acquisition process has since been abandoned, meaning the transaction did not proceed to completion. No completion date was recorded as the deal was terminated before regulatory approval or final settlement could be achieved. The parties have not provided further details regarding the reasons for the termination or any subsequent plans for the target entity. The transaction is now considered defunct.
