Organization and Business Purpose

Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT” or the “Company”) invests primarily in stabilized, income-generating commercial real estate in the United States and, to a lesser extent, outside the United States. The Company to a lesser extent invests in real estate debt investments. The Company is the sole general partner and majority limited partner of BREIT Operating Partnership L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“BREIT OP”). BREIT Special Limited Partner L.P. (the “Special Limited Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Blackstone Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Blackstone”), owns a special limited partner interest in BREIT OP. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through BREIT OP. The Company and BREIT OP are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of Blackstone, a leading global investment manager. The Company was formed on November 16, 2015 as a Maryland corporation and qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company registered an offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of up to $60.0 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $48.0 billion in shares in its primary offering and up to $12.0 billion in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, which the Company began using to offer shares of its common stock in March 2022 (the “Current Offering”). The Company intends to sell any combination of its Class S, I, T and D shares of its common stock, with a dollar value up to the maximum aggregate amount of the Current Offering. The share classes have different upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and ongoing stockholder servicing fees. In addition to the Current Offering, the Company is conducting private offerings of Class I and Class C shares to certain feeder or other vehicles created to hold the Company’s shares and other assets, which in turn sell interests in themselves to other investors, including non-U.S. persons, as described in the Company’s prospectus. In addition, the Company may conduct one or more private offerings of Class F shares to certain feeder or other vehicles created to hold the Company’s shares and other assets, which in turn will sell interests in themselves to other investors, as described in the Company’s prospectus. All such private offerings are or will be, as applicable, exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The Company intends to continue selling shares in the Current Offering and private offerings on a monthly basis.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned, in whole or in part, 4,568 properties and 62,428 single family rental homes. The Company currently operates in nine reportable segments: Rental Housing, Industrial, Net Lease, Data Centers, Hospitality, Self Storage, Retail, and Office properties, and Investments in Real Estate Debt. Rental Housing includes multifamily and other types of rental housing such as student, affordable, manufactured and single family rental housing, as well as senior living.
