Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Ares Industrial Real Estate Income Trust Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on August 12, 2014. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” and “AIREIT” refers to Ares Industrial Real Estate Income Trust Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, which includes AIREIT Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). We are externally managed by Ares Commercial Real Estate Management LLC (the “Advisor”) and consider Ares real estate to be our sponsor (the “Sponsor”). AIREIT was formed to make equity and debt investments in income-producing real estate assets consisting primarily of high-quality distribution warehouses and other industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy corporate customers throughout the U.S. Creditworthiness does not necessarily mean investment grade and the majority of our customers do not have a public credit rating. Although we intend to focus investment activities primarily on distribution warehouses and other industrial properties, our charter and bylaws do not preclude us from investing in other types of commercial property, real estate debt, or real estate-related equity securities. As of December 31, 2025, we owned and managed a real estate portfolio that included 269 industrial buildings. AIREIT operates as one reportable segment comprised of industrial real estate. We currently operate and have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017, and we intend to continue to operate in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of its properties and securities through the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner and a limited partner.
