InterRent’s proposed $4-billion friendly takeover has pushed back until the first half of 2026, the REIT said Tuesday in its quarterly report.

The proposed deal was originally expected to close by year-end 2025.

Plans call for Carriage Hill — a newly formed entity owned by Ottawa-based CLV Group and Singapore-based GIC — to acquire InterRent in an all-cash transaction, including net debt. Operating like a special-purpose acquisition company common in the U.S., Carriage House was formed specifically to acquire InterRent.

Although several conditions of the the proposed deal, the parties continue to close ones that are still outstanding, including Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation consents more commonly known as an arrangement agreement.

The proposed $4-billion deal has received federal Investment Canada Act approval, overcoming another key regulatory hurdle.

The agreement previously passed a Competition Act test.

Ottawa-based CLV is slated to acquire all outstanding units of InterRent REIT. The companies say the combined entity will benefit from enhanced scale, a stronger balance sheet, and greater operational efficiency across its multi-residential portfolio.

InterRent unitholders will receive a mix of cash and units in the newly formed entity under the terms of the deal. The REIT unitholders have also approved the deal.
