BLACKSTONE REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.

SUPPLEMENT NO. 8 DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2020

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 21, 2020

This prospectus supplement (“Supplement”) is part of and should be read in conjunction with the prospectus of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., dated April 21, 2020 (as supplemented to date, the “Prospectus”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Supplement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus. References herein to the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

The purposes of this Supplement are as follows:

• to provide an update on BREIT’s portfolio;

• to disclose the transaction price for each class of our common stock as of December 1, 2020;

• to disclose the calculation of our October 31, 2020 NAV per share for all share classes; and

• to provide an update on the status of our current public offering (the “Offering”).

Portfolio Update

For the month ended October 31, 2020, BREIT’s Class S NAV per share increased $0.16, from $11.20 as of September 30, 2020 to $11.36 as of October 31, 2020¹. This price movement was driven by (i) increases in the value of our industrial, multifamily and net lease properties as investors seek income-producing real estate with solid fundamentals in a low interest rate environment. In addition, rent collections for our multifamily, industrial, net lease, retail, and office properties were 2.5% below a typical month.

Overall, we continue to expect the path to a full economic recovery will be uneven and vary by sector. Resilient sectors with solid fundamentals, such as industrial and multifamily, continue to be well-positioned in the current environment. We continue to see increasing levels of transaction activity and have completed recent acquisitions of high-quality assets consistent with those in our existing portfolio. As an example, in October, BREIT entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Simply Self Storage, a $1.2 billion self-storage portfolio located across the U.S. Simply Self Storage is one of the top five private owners of self-storage and operates a high-quality portfolio totaling eight million square feet. Similar to logistics, self-storage has proven to be a resilient sector through economic cycles as a result of low turnover, minimal maintenance costs and stable cash flows. BREIT continues to maintain substantial liquidity ($4.2 billion as of November 16, 2020), modest leverage (46% loan-to-value as of October 31, 2020) and a robust pipeline of identified transactions ($3.3 billion as of October 31, 2020).  

For more information on our Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines, please refer to page 179 of the Prospectus. Our leverage ratio is measured by dividing (i) consolidated property-level and entity-level debt net of cash and loan-related restricted cash, by (ii) the asset value of real estate investments (measured using the greater of fair market value and cost) plus the equity in our settled real estate debt investments. Indebtedness incurred (i) in connection with funding a deposit in advance of the closing of an investment or (ii) as other working capital advances will not be included as part of the calculation above. References to our liquidity position primarily consist of capacity on our undrawn lines of credit as well as cash on hand.

December 1, 2020 Transaction Price

The transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions accepted as of December 1, 2020 (and repurchases as of November 30, 2020) is as follows:

	Transaction Price (per share)
Class S	$	11.3607
Class I	$	11.3279

A detailed calculation of the NAV per share is set forth below.The purchase price of our common stock for each share class equals the transaction price of such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The repurchase price for each share class equals the transaction price of such class.

October 31, 2020 NAV per Share

We calculate NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our board of directors. Our NAV per share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.breit.com and is made available on our toll-free, automated telephone line at (844) 702-1299. Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the Prospectus for how our NAV is determined. The Adviser is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV. All our property investments are appraised annually by third party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation guidelines and such appraisals are reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. Transactions or events have occurred since October 31, 2020 that could have a material impact on our NAV per share, upon which our transaction price is based. We have included a breakdown of the components of total NAV and NAV per share for October 31, 2020 along with the immediately preceding month.

Our total NAV presented in the following tables includes the NAV of our Class S, Class I, Class T, and Class D common stockholders, as well as partnership interests of BREIT Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Company.

⁽¹⁾ Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class S, Class T and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class T and Class D shares. As of October 31, 2020, the Company has accrued under GAAP $581.0 million of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class S, Class T and Class D shares sold. The Dealer Manager does not retain any of these fees, all of which are retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.

Set forth below are the weighted averages of the key assumptions in the discounted cash flow methodology used in the October 31, 2020 valuations, based on property types.Once we own more than one office property we will include the key assumptions for such property type.
