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 16, 2024 (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," "BREIT," "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 to BREIT’s portfolio;
to disclose the transaction price for each class of our common stock as of December 1, 2024;
to disclose the calculation of our October 31, 2024 NAV per share for all share classes;
to provide an update on the status of our current public offering (the “Offering”);
to otherwise update the prospectus; and
to include our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Portfolio Update

For the month ended October 31, 2024, BREIT’s Class I NAV per share was $13.97 and Class I total return was 0.6% (not annualized).1

On October 30, 2024, the Company published its Q3 2024 Update for stockholders, which is available on its website at www.breit.com. This web link is provided for convenience only, and the contents of the piece or the website are not incorporated by reference in or otherwise a part of this prospectus.

Additionally, we currently estimate that 90% - 100% of distributions for the year ended December 31, 2024 will be characterized as return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

December 1, 2024 Transaction Price
The transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions accepted as of December 1, 2024 (and repurchases as of November 30, 2024) is as follows:
Transaction Price

Class S$13.9646 
Class I$13.9736 
Class T$13.7385 
Class D$13.6457 
Class C$15.1811 
The December 1 transaction price for each of our share classes is equal to such class’s NAV per share as of October 31, 2024. 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, 2024 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. Transactions or events have occurred since October 31, 2024 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, 2024 along with the immediately preceding month.

BREIT’s Class D total return was 0.6%, Class S total return was 0.6%, Class T total return was 0.6%, and Class C total return was 0.6% for October 2024.

Status of our Current Public Offering

We are currently offering on a continuous basis up to $60.0 billion in shares of common stock, consisting of up to $48.0 billion in shares in our primary offering and up to $12.0 billion in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. As of the date of this Supplement, we had issued and sold in the Offering (i) 879,591,492 shares of our common stock (consisting of 322,391,981 Class S Shares, 428,463,065 Class I Shares, 16,829,605 Class T Shares, and 111,906,841 Class D Shares) in the primary offering for total proceeds of $13.0 billion (including shares converted from operating partnership units by the Special Limited Partner) and (ii) 190,301,980 shares of our common stock (consisting of 82,049,396 Class S Shares, 89,402,636 Class I Shares, 4,097,934 Class T Shares, and 14,752,014 Class D Shares) pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for a total value of $2.8 billion. As of October 31, 2024, our aggregate NAV was $55.3 billion. We intend to continue selling shares in the Offering on a monthly basis.




Updates to the Prospectus

The following supersedes and replaces in its entirety the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are offering up to $60,000,000,000 in shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus on a “best efforts” basis through Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., the Dealer Manager, a registered broker-dealer affiliated with the Adviser. Because this is a “best efforts” offering, the Dealer Manager must only use its best efforts to sell the shares, which means that no underwriter, broker-dealer or other person will be obligated to purchase any shares. Our offering consists of up to $48,000,000,000 in shares in our primary offering and up to $12,000,000,000 in shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We reserve the right to reallocate shares of common stock between our primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan.
We are offering to the public four classes of shares of our common stock: Class T shares, Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares. We are offering to sell any combination of share classes with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. All investors must meet the suitability standards discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Suitability Standards.” The share classes have different upfront selling commissions and different ongoing stockholder servicing fees.
Class T and Class S shares are available through brokerage and transactional-based accounts. Class D shares are generally available for purchase in this offering only (1) through fee-based programs, also known as wrap accounts, that provide access to Class D shares, (2) through participating broker-dealers that have alternative fee arrangements with their clients to provide access to Class D shares, (3) through transaction/brokerage platforms at participating broker-dealers, (4) through certain registered investment advisers, (5) through bank trust departments or any other organization or person authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity for its clients or customers or (6) other categories of investors that we name in an amendment or supplement to this prospectus. Class I shares are generally available for purchase in this offering only (1) through fee-based programs, also known as wrap accounts, that provide access to Class I shares, (2) by endowments, foundations, pension funds and other institutional investors, (3) through participating broker-dealers that have alternative fee arrangements with their clients to provide access to Class I shares, (4) through certain registered investment advisers, (5) through bank trust departments or any other organization or person authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity for its clients or customers, (6) by our executive officers and directors and their immediate family members, as well as officers and employees of the Adviser, Blackstone or other affiliates and their immediate family members, and joint venture partners, consultants and other service providers or (7) other categories of investors that we name in an amendment or supplement to this prospectus. In certain cases, where a holder of Class S, Class T or Class D shares exits a relationship with a participating broker-dealer for this offering and does not enter into a new relationship with a participating broker-dealer for this offering, such holder’s shares may be exchanged into an equivalent NAV amount of Class I shares. We also may offer shares of our common stock to (1) certain feeder vehicles primarily created to hold our shares, which in turn offer interests in themselves to investors, and (2) other investment vehicles. We may conduct such offerings pursuant to exemptions to registration under the Securities Act or as a part of this offering. Such feeder vehicles may have additional costs and expenses, which would be disclosed in connection with the offering of their interests. We may also offer our shares in other private offerings from time to time. The minimum initial investment for Class I shares is $1,000,000, unless waived by the Dealer Manager. If you are eligible to purchase all four classes of shares, you should consider, among other things, the amount of your investment, the length of time you intend to hold the shares and the upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees attributable to the Class T, Class S or Class D shares. Before making your investment decision, please consult with your investment adviser regarding your account type and the classes of common stock you may be eligible to purchase. Neither the Dealer Manager nor its affiliates will directly or indirectly compensate any person engaged as an investment advisor or bank trust department by a potential investor as an inducement for such investment advisor or bank trust department to advise favorably for an investment in us.
The number of shares we have registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is the number that we reasonably expect to be offered and sold within two years from the initial effective date of the registration statement. Under applicable SEC rules, we may extend this offering one additional year if all of the shares we have registered are not yet sold within two years. With the filing of a registration statement for a subsequent offering, we may also be able to extend this offering beyond three years until the follow-on registration statement is declared effective. Pursuant to this prospectus, we are offering to the public all of the shares that we have registered. Although we have registered a fixed dollar amount of our shares, we intend effectively to conduct a continuous offering of an unlimited number of shares of our common stock over an unlimited time period by filing a new registration statement prior to the end of the three-year period described in Rule 415. In certain states, the registration of our offering may continue for only one year following the initial clearance by applicable state authorities, after which we will renew the offering period for additional one-year periods (or longer, if permitted by the laws of each particular state).
We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time and to extend our offering term to the extent permissible under applicable law.



Purchase Price
Shares will generally be sold at the prior month’s NAV per share of the class of share being purchased, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Although the price you pay for shares of our common stock will generally be based on the prior month’s NAV per share, the NAV per share of such stock as of the date on which your purchase is settled may be significantly different. We may offer shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share (including by updating a previously disclosed offering price) or suspend our offering and/or our share repurchase plan in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. Each class of shares may have a different NAV per share because stockholder servicing fees differ with respect to each class. See “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” for more information about the calculation of NAV per share.
If you participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, the cash distributions attributable to the class of shares that you purchase in our primary offering will be automatically invested in additional shares of the same class. The per share purchase price for shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the transaction price at the time the distribution is payable, which will generally be equal to our prior month’s NAV per share for that share class.
Underwriting Compensation
We entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager, pursuant to which the Dealer Manager agreed to, among other things, manage our relationships with third-party broker-dealers engaged by the Dealer Manager to participate in the distribution of shares of our common stock, which we refer to as “participating broker-dealers,” and financial advisors. The Dealer Manager also coordinates our marketing and distribution efforts with participating broker-dealers and their registered representatives with respect to communications related to the terms of the offering, our investment strategies, material aspects of our operations and subscription procedures. We will not pay referral or similar fees to any accountants, attorneys or other persons in connection with the distribution of our shares.

Upfront Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees
Class T, Class S and Class D Shares. Subject to any discounts described below, the Dealer Manager is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 3.0%, and upfront dealer manager fees of 0.5%, of the transaction price of each Class T share sold in the primary offering, however such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price. Subject to any discounts described below, the Dealer Manager is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 3.5% of the transaction price of each Class S share sold in the primary offering. Subject to any discounts described below, the Dealer Manager may be entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 1.5% of the transaction price of each Class D share


sold in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager anticipates that all or a portion of the upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.
Investors who purchase $150,000 or more in Class T or Class S shares from the same broker-dealer, whether in a single purchase or as the result of multiple purchases, may be eligible, depending on the policies of their participating broker-dealer, for volume discounts on the upfront selling commissions. The Dealer Manager and any participating broker-dealers that offer volume discounts to their clients and their registered representatives will be responsible for implementing the volume discounts. The net offering proceeds we receive will not be affected by any reduction of upfront selling commissions. Certain participating broker-dealers may elect not to offer volume discounts to their clients.
The following table illustrates the various discount levels that may be offered for Class T and Class S shares purchased in the primary offering:

$1,000,000 and up
    2.00%    
    1.50%    
If you qualify for a volume discount as the result of multiple purchases of our Class T or Class S shares, you will receive the benefit of the applicable volume discount for the individual purchase which qualified you for the volume discount, but you will not be entitled to the benefit for prior purchases. Additionally, once you qualify for a volume discount, you will receive the benefit for subsequent purchases through the same participating broker-dealer. For this purpose, if you purchase Class T or Class S shares issued and sold in this offering you will receive the benefit of such Class T or Class S share purchases in connection with qualifying for volume discounts in our subsequent offerings through the same participating broker-dealer.
For purposes of qualifying for a volume discount as the result of multiple purchases of shares, only an individual or entity with the same social security number or taxpayer identification number, as applicable may combine their purchases as a “single purchaser”; provided that, certain participating broker-dealers may also combine purchases by an individual investor and his or her spouse living in the same household as a “single purchaser” for purposes of determining the applicable volume discount.
Requests to combine purchase orders of Class T or Class S shares as a part of a combined order for the purpose of qualifying for discounts or fee waivers must be made in writing by the broker-dealer, and any resulting reduction in upfront selling commissions will be prorated among the separate subscribers. As with discounts provided to other purchasers, the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares will not be affected by discounts provided as a result of a combined order.
Your ability to receive a discount or fee waiver based on combining orders or otherwise may depend on the financial advisor or broker-dealer through which you purchase your Class T or Class S shares. An investor qualifying for a discount will receive a higher percentage return on his or her investment than investors who do not qualify for such discount. Accordingly, you should consult with your financial advisor about the ability to receive such discounts or fee waivers before purchasing Class T or Class S shares.
Class I Shares. No upfront selling commissions will be paid with respect Class I shares sold in this offering.
Stockholder Servicing Fees—Class T, Class S and Class D Shares
Subject to FINRA limitations on underwriting compensation and certain other limitations described below, we pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions over time as stockholder servicing fees (i) with respect to our outstanding Class T shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of our outstanding Class T shares, consisting of a representative stockholder servicing fee of 0.65% per annum, and a dealer stockholder servicing fee of 0.20% per annum, of the aggregate NAV for the Class T shares, however, with respect to Class T shares sold through certain participating broker-dealers, the representative stockholder servicing fee and the dealer stockholder servicing fee may be other amounts, provided that the sum of such fees will always equal 0.85% per annum of the NAV of such shares, (ii) with respect to our outstanding Class S shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of our outstanding Class S shares and (iii) with respect to our outstanding Class D shares equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV of our outstanding Class D shares. We do not pay a stockholder servicing fee with respect to our outstanding Class I shares. The stockholder servicing fees are selling commissions paid over time. The stockholder servicing expenses borne by the participating brokers may be different from and substantially less than the amount of stockholder servicing fees charged.
The stockholder servicing fees are paid monthly in arrears. The Dealer Manager reallows (pays) all or a portion of the stockholder servicing fees to participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers for ongoing stockholder services performed by such broker-dealers, and will waive stockholder servicing fees to the extent a broker-dealer is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services. Because the stockholder servicing fees with respect to Class T shares, Class S shares and Class D shares are calculated based


on the aggregate NAV for all of the outstanding shares of each such class, it reduces the NAV with respect to all shares of each such class, including shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan.
We will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to any Class T share, Class S share or Class D share held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager in conjunction with the transfer agent determines that total upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to the shares held by such stockholder within such account would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% (or, in the case of Class T shares sold through certain participating broker-dealers, a lower limit as set forth in the applicable agreement between the Dealer Manager and a participating broker-dealer at the time such Class T shares were issued) of the gross proceeds from the sale of such shares (including the gross proceeds of any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan with respect thereto). At the end of such month, each such Class T share, Class S share or Class D share will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share. Although we cannot predict the length of time over which the stockholder servicing fee will be paid due to potential changes in the NAV of our shares, this fee would be paid with respect to a Class T share (in the case of a limit of 8.75% of gross proceeds) or Class S share over approximately 7 years from the date of purchase and with respect to a Class D share over approximately 30 years from the date of purchase, assuming payment of the full upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees, opting out of the distribution reinvestment plan and a constant NAV of $10.00 per share. Under these assumptions, if a stockholder holds his or her shares for these time periods, this fee with respect to a Class T share or Class S share would total approximately $0.91 and with respect to a Class D share would total approximately $0.75.
Eligibility to receive the stockholder servicing fee is conditioned on a broker-dealer providing the following ongoing services with respect to the Class T, Class S or Class D shares: assistance with recordkeeping, answering investor inquiries regarding us, including regarding distribution payments and reinvestments, helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and assistance with share repurchase requests. Holders of our Class T, Class S and Class D shares will receive the same services as described above regardless of the level of the stockholder servicing fee paid. For Class T shares, representative stockholder services are answering investor inquiries regarding us, including regarding distribution payments and reinvestments, helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and assistance with share repurchase requests and dealer stockholder services are assistance with recordkeeping. If the applicable broker-dealer is not eligible to receive the stockholder servicing fee due to failure to provide these services, the Dealer Manager will waive the stockholder servicing fee that broker-dealer would have otherwise been eligible to receive. The stockholder servicing fees are ongoing fees that are not paid at the time of purchase and are similar to a commission in that the amount of fees is fixed regardless of the specific services provided.
The stockholder services described above do not include account monitoring. Broker-dealers separately may offer account monitoring services to their clients but are not required to do so. Your broker-dealer’s Client Relationship Summary discloses whether it offers account monitoring services, and if so, you may contact your broker-dealer for more information.
Other Compensation
We or the Adviser may also pay directly, or reimburse the Dealer Manager if the Dealer Manager pays on our behalf, any organization and offering expenses (other than upfront selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees). The Adviser and its affiliates, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Company or its stockholders, may provide additional cash payments to certain financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of shares of common stock.
Limitations on Underwriting Compensation
In addition to the conversion feature described above in “—Stockholder Servicing Fees—Class T, Class S and Class D Shares,” we will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee on the Class T shares, Class S shares and Class D shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of Class I shares, (ii) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or (iii) the date following the completion of the primary portion of this offering on which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources in connection with this offering, including upfront selling commissions, the stockholder servicing fee and other underwriting compensation, is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from our primary offering. The Dealer Manager will monitor the aggregate amount of underwriting compensation that we and the Adviser pay in connection with this offering in order to ensure we comply with the underwriting compensation limits of applicable FINRA rules. FINRA rules and the NASAA REIT Guidelines also limit our total organization and offering expenses (including upfront selling commissions, reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses of participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices and other underwriting compensation) to 15% of our gross offering proceeds from this offering. After the termination of the primary offering and again after termination of the offering under our distribution reinvestment plan, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that organization and offering expenses that we incur exceed 15% of our gross proceeds from the applicable offering.
In order to show the maximum amount of compensation that may be paid in connection with this offering, the following table assumes that (1) we sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus, (2) all shares sold in the offering are Class S shares, (3) no shares are reallocated between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan, (4) all Class S shares are sold with the highest possible upfront selling commissions and (5) NAV per share remains $10.00. The table does not give effect to any shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The following table also assumes that we will cease paying stockholder servicing fees with respect to any Class S stockholder after the time the total upfront selling commissions and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to the shares in such Class S stockholder’s account reach 8.75% of the gross proceeds from the offering of such Class S shares in the aggregate (assuming such stockholder purchased all of his/her class S shares at the same time).

(1)We will pay the Dealer Manager a stockholder servicing fee with respect to our outstanding Class S shares equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of our outstanding Class S shares. The numbers presented reflect that stockholder servicing fees are paid over a number of years, and as a result, will cumulatively increase above 0.85% over time. The Dealer Manager will reallow (pay) all or a portion of the stockholder servicing fee to participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers for ongoing stockholder services performed by such broker-dealers, and will waive stockholder servicing fees to the extent a broker-dealer is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services.
(2)Wholesale reimbursements consist primarily of (a) actual costs incurred for fees to attend retail seminars sponsored by participating broker-dealers, (b) amounts used to reimburse participating broker-dealers for the actual costs incurred by registered representatives for travel, meals and lodging in connection with attending bona fide training and education meetings, (c)  non-transaction based compensation, including cash bonuses and Blackstone Inc. equity awards, paid to registered persons associated with the Dealer Manager in connection with the wholesaling of our offering, and (d) expense reimbursements for actual costs incurred by employees of the Dealer Manager in the performance of wholesaling activities. The Adviser currently pays wholesaling compensation expenses and certain related expenses of persons associated with the Dealer Manager described above without reimbursement from us.
Term of the Dealer Manager Agreement
Either party may terminate the Dealer Manager Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party or immediately upon notice to the other party in the event such other party failed to comply with a material provision of the Dealer Manager Agreement. Our obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement to pay the stockholder servicing fees with respect to the Class T, Class S and Class D shares distributed in this offering as described therein shall survive termination of the agreement until such shares are no longer outstanding (including such shares that have been converted into Class I shares, as described above in “—Stockholder Servicing Fees—Class T, Class S and Class D Shares”).
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law and our charter, we will indemnify the participating broker-dealers and the Dealer Manager against some civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, and liabilities arising from an untrue statement of material fact contained in, or omission to state a material fact in, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, blue sky applications or approved sales literature.
Role of the Dealer Manager
The Dealer Manager is a broker-dealer whose purpose is to distribute Blackstone managed or affiliated products. The Dealer Manager provides services to its Blackstone affiliates, not to investors in its funds, strategies or other products. The Dealer Manager has not and will not make any recommendation regarding, and will not monitor, any investment. As such, when the Dealer Manager presents an investment strategy or product to an investor or a prospective investor, the Dealer Manager does not collect the information necessary to determine-and the Dealer Manager does not engage in a determination regarding-whether an investment in the strategy or product is in the best interests of, or is suitable for, the investor. You should exercise your own judgment and/or consult with your own professional advisor to determine whether it is advisable for you to invest in any Blackstone strategy or product. Please note that the Dealer Manager will not provide the kinds of financial services that you might expect from another financial intermediary, such as overseeing any brokerage or similar account. For financial advice relating to an investment in any Blackstone strategy or product, contact your own professional advisor.

If I am an Iowa resident, I have either (a) an annual gross income of at least $100,000 and a net worth of at least $100,000, or (b) a net worth of at least $350,000. In addition, if I am not an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, my aggregate investment in this offering and in the securities of other non-publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) does not exceed 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.
If I am a Kansas resident, I understand that the Securities Commissioner of Kansas recommends that Kansas investors limit their aggregate investment in our securities and other similar investments to not more than 10% of their liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.
If I am a Kentucky resident, my investment in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and its affiliated non-publicly traded real estate investment trusts may not exceed 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.
If I am a Maine resident, I acknowledge that it is recommended by the Maine Office of Securities that my aggregate investment in this offering and other similar direct participation investments not exceed 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.
If I am a Massachusetts resident, my investment in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and in other illiquid direct participation programs may not exceed 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.
If I am a Missouri resident, my investment in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. may not exceed 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.
If I am a Nebraska resident, and I do not meet the definition of “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, my aggregate investment in this offering and in the securities of other non-publicly traded direct participation programs may not exceed 10% of my net worth.
If I am a New Jersey resident, I have either (a) a minimum liquid net worth of at least $100,000 and a minimum annual gross income of not less than $85,000, or (b) a minimum liquid net worth of $350,000. In addition, my total investment in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., its affiliates and other non-publicly traded direct investment programs (including REITs, business development companies, oil and gas programs, equipment leasing programs and commodity pools, but excluding unregistered, federally and state exempt private offerings) may not exceed 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth (total assets exclusive of home, home furnishings, and automobiles, minus total liabilities) that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities. New Jersey investors are advised that Class S and Class T shares are subject to upfront selling commissions and/or dealer manager fees, and Class S, Class T and Class D shares are subject to stockholder servicing fees. Because the purchase price for the Class S and Class T shares is the transaction price plus applicable upfront fees, the upfront fees may reduce the amount of the Class S and Class T share purchase price that is available to the Company for investment and other capital needs, the stockholder servicing fees may reduce the amount of distributions, and the fees could result in a reduction in the NAV of the Class S, Class T and Class D shares if distributions are declared in an amount less than the stockholder servicing fees.
If I am a New Mexico resident, I must limit my investment in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., its affiliates and other non-traded real estate investment trusts to 10% of my liquid net worth. For these purposes, “liquid net worth” is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable investments.

Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. 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 will sell interests in itself to other investors, including non-U.S. persons, and to other 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 itself to other investors, and to other persons, as described in the Company’s prospectus. Any such private offering will be 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 on a monthly basis. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had received aggregate net proceeds of $76.5 billion from selling shares of the Company’s common stock through the Current Offering, prior offerings registered with the SEC, and in unregistered private offerings.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned, in whole or in part, 4,675 properties and 63,688 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. Net Lease includes the real estate assets of The Bellagio Las Vegas (the “Bellagio”) and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (the “Cosmopolitan”). Financial results by segment are reported in Note 16 — Segment Reporting.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including the condensed notes thereto, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest through majority ownership or voting rights and variable interest entities whereby the Company is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, the Company considers whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has (i) the power to direct the most significant activities impacting the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally considered voting interest entities (“VOEs”) and are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. VOEs are consolidated when the Company controls the entity through a majority voting interest or other means.
For consolidated joint ventures, the non-controlling partner’s share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of each joint venture is included in non-controlling interests as equity of the Company. The non-controlling partner’s interest is generally computed as the joint venture partner’s ownership percentage. Certain of the joint ventures formed by the Company provide the other partner a profits interest based on certain internal rate of return hurdles being achieved. Any profits interest due to the other partner is also reported within non-controlling interests.
When the requirements for consolidation are not met and the Company has significant influence over the operations of the entity, the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in unconsolidated entities for which the Company has not elected a fair value option are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s pro-rata share of net income, contributions and distributions. When the Company elects the fair value option (“FVO”), the Company records its share of net asset value of the entity and any related unrealized gains and losses.
The Company owns certain subordinate securities in CMBS securitizations that give the Company certain rights with respect to the underlying loans that serve as collateral for the CMBS securitization. In particular, these subordinate securities typically give the holder the right to direct certain activities of the securitization on behalf of all securityholders, which could impact the securitization's overall economic performance. Such rights, along with the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from the ownership of the subordinate securities, require consolidation of these securitizations, which are considered VIEs under GAAP.
As of September 30, 2024, the total assets and liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs, excluding BREIT OP, were $46.0 billion and $33.5 billion, respectively, compared to $50.3 billion and $37.4 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Such amounts are included on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Under normal market conditions, the fair value of an investment is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.
Level 2 — quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.
9


Level 3 — pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed.
Valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value
The Company’s investments in real estate debt are reported at fair value. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investments in real estate debt, directly or indirectly, consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), which are securities backed by one or more mortgage loans secured by real estate assets, as well as corporate bonds, term loans, mezzanine loans, and other investments in debt issued by real estate-related companies or secured by real estate assets. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in real estate debt by utilizing third party pricing service providers whenever available.
In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models for securities such as real estate debt generally consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each security, and incorporate specific collateral performance, as applicable.
Certain of the Company’s investments in real estate debt, such as mezzanine loans and other investments, are unlikely to have readily available market quotations. In such cases, the Company will generally determine the initial value based on the acquisition price of such investment if acquired by the Company or the par value of such investment if originated by the Company. Following the initial measurement, the Company generally engages third party service providers to perform valuations for such investments. The service provider will determine fair value by utilizing or reviewing certain of the following (i) market yield data, (ii) discounted cash flow modeling, (iii) collateral asset performance, (iv) local or macro real estate performance, (v) capital market conditions, (vi) debt yield or loan-to-value ratios, and (vii) borrower financial condition and performance. Refer to Note 5 for additional details on the Company’s investments in real estate debt.
For CMBS securitizations the Company consolidates, it has elected to apply the measurement alternative under GAAP and measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the securitizations using the fair value of such financial liabilities, which it considers more observable than the fair value of such financial assets.
The Company’s investments in equity securities of public and private real estate-related companies are reported at fair value. In determining the fair value of public equity securities, the Company utilizes the closing price of such securities in the principal market in which the security trades (Level 1 inputs). In determining the fair value of its preferred equity security, the Company utilizes inputs such as stock volatility, discount rate, and risk-free interest rate (Level 2 inputs). As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s equity securities were recorded as a component of Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2024, there were no such equity securities.
The Company has elected the FVO for certain of its investments in unconsolidated entities and therefore, reports these investments at fair value. The Company separately values the assets and liabilities of the investments in unconsolidated entities. To determine the fair value of the real estate assets of the investments in unconsolidated entities, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology, taking into consideration various factors including discount rate and exit capitalization rate. The Company utilizes third party service providers to perform valuations of the indebtedness of the investments in unconsolidated entities. The fair value of the indebtedness of the investments in unconsolidated entities is determined by modeling the cash flows and discounting them back to the present value using weighted average cost of debt. Additionally, current market rates and conditions are considered by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. After the fair value of the assets and liabilities are determined, the Company applies its ownership interest to the net asset value and reflects this amount as its investments in unconsolidated entities at fair value. The inputs used in determining the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities carried at fair value are considered Level 3. The Company discloses the weighted average cost of capital, which combines the discount rate on the fair value of real estate and the weighted average cost of debt on the fair value of the indebtedness, and exit capitalization rate as key Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value and consist of foreign currency and interest rate contracts. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate contracts were estimated using advice from a third party derivative specialist, based on contractual cash flows and observable inputs comprising yield curves, foreign currency rates and credit spreads (Level 2 inputs).

Valuation of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Certain of the Company’s assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments, such as when there is evidence of impairment, and therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company reviews its real estate properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amount of the real estate value may not be recoverable.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized an aggregate $20.9 million of impairment charges related to one affordable housing property, one student housing property, and various single family rental homes. The impairments reduced the GAAP carrying amount of such investments to their fair value, and were the result of updates to the undiscounted cash flow assumptions to account for a shorter hold period, as the Company is considering a potential disposition of these investments. The cumulative fair value of such real estate investments at the time of impairment was $97.9 million, and was estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow method. The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the analysis were the discount rate (Level 3), which ranged from 6.2% to 8.6%, and the exit capitalization rate (Level 3), which ranged from 5.0% to 7.1%.
Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized an aggregate $27.7 million of impairment charges related to certain held-for-sale real estate investments where their GAAP carrying amount exceeded their fair value, less estimated closing costs. The fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of such real estate investments at the time of impairment was $304.2 million. The significant unobservable input utilized in the analysis was the purchase price, which is considered a Level 2 input. Refer to Note 3 for additional details of the impairments.
Valuation of liabilities not measured at fair value
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage loans, secured term loans, secured revolving credit facilities, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities was $0.7 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, below carrying value. Fair value of the Company’s indebtedness is estimated by modeling the cash flows required by the Company’s debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using its equity discount rate. Additionally, current market rates and conditions are considered by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The Company utilizes third party service providers to perform these valuations. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s indebtedness are considered Level 3.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation consists of incentive compensation awards issued to certain employees of Home Partners of America (“HPA”), April Housing, and American Campus Communities (“ACC”), all of which are consolidated subsidiaries of BREIT, and certain employees of portfolio company service providers owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles. Such awards vest over time and stock-based compensation expense is recognized for these awards using a graded vesting attribution method over the applicable vesting period of each award, based on the value of the awards on their grant date, as adjusted for forfeitures. The awards are subject to service periods ranging from three to four years. The vesting conditions that are based on the Company achieving certain returns, or other key performance metrics, over a stated hurdle amount are considered market conditions. The achievement of returns, or other key performance metrics, over the stated hurdle amounts, which affect the quantity of awards that vest, is considered a performance condition. If the Company determines it is probable that the performance conditions will be met, the value of the award will be amortized over the service periods, as adjusted for forfeitures. If the Company determines it is not probable that the performance conditions will be met, the value of the award is considered zero and any previous amortization will be reversed. The number of awards expected to vest is evaluated each reporting period and compensation expense is recognized for those awards for which achievement of the performance criteria is considered probable.
Refer to Note 10 for additional information on the awards issued to certain employees of portfolio companies owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles. The following table details the incentive compensation awards issued to certain employees of HPA, April Housing and ACC ($ in thousands):

The Company acquired such CMBS from third parties on market terms negotiated by the majority third party investors. The Company has forgone all non-economic rights under these CMBS, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicles either own the properties collateralizing the underlying loans, or have an interest in a different part of the capital structure of such CMBS.
The Company acquired commercial real estate loans to borrowers that are owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles. The Company has forgone all non-economic rights under these loans, including voting rights, so long as the Blackstone-advised investment vehicle controls the borrowers. These loans were negotiated by third parties without the Company’s involvement.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investments in real estate debt also included $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, of CMBS collateralized, in part, by certain of the Company’s mortgage loans.

6. Consolidated Securitization Vehicles

The Company has acquired the controlling class securities of certain CMBS securitizations resulting in the consolidation of such securitizations on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consolidation of these securitizations results in a gross presentation of the underlying collateral loans as discrete assets, as well as inclusion of the senior CMBS positions owned by third parties, which are presented as liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of any particular consolidated securitization can only be used to satisfy the liabilities of that securitization and such assets are not available to the Company for any other purpose. Similarly, the senior CMBS obligations of these securitizations can only be satisfied through repayment of the underlying collateral loans, as they do not have any recourse to the Company or its assets, nor has the Company provided any guarantees with respect to the performance or repayment of the senior CMBS obligations.

The Company repaid certain of its loans in conjunction with the sale or refinancing of the underlying properties and incurred an aggregate realized net loss on extinguishment of debt of $19.6 million and $71.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company incurred an aggregate net realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $26.5 million and $35.0 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Such losses primarily resulted from the acceleration of related deferred financing costs, prepayment penalties, and transaction costs.
The Company is subject to various financial and operational covenants under certain of its mortgage loans, secured term loans, and secured revolving credit facility agreements. These covenants require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, which include leverage, debt yield, and debt service coverage, among others. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of its loan covenants.

8. Secured Financings of Investments in Real Estate Debt
The Company has entered into master repurchase agreements and other financing agreements secured by certain of its investments in real estate debt. The terms of the master repurchase agreements and other financing agreements provide the lenders the ability to determine the size and terms of the financing provided based upon the particular collateral pledged by the Company from time to time, and may require the Company to provide additional collateral in the form of cash, securities, or other assets if the market value of such financed investments declines.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s secured financings of investments in real estate debt was $3.8 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the secured financings had a weighted average maturity date of October 20, 2025, and a weighted average interest rate of 1.5% over the relevant floating benchmark rates of the applicable financings, which include SOFR, EURIBOR, and SONIA.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had interest rate swaps outstanding with a notional value of $0.4 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, that effectively convert a portion of its fixed rate investments in real estate debt to floating rates to mitigate its exposure to potential future interest rate increases under its floating-rate debt. Weighted average interest rate does not include the impact of such interest rate swaps or other derivatives.
9. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities and Term Loans
The Company is party to unsecured credit facilities with multiple banks. The credit facilities have a weighted average maturity date of December 1, 2024, which may be extended for one year, and an interest rate of SOFR +2.5%. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the maximum capacity of the credit facilities was $6.1 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate outstanding balance of borrowings under these unsecured credit facilities was $0.5 billion. As of December 31, 2023, there were no such outstanding borrowings.
The Company is party to unsecured term loans with multiple banks. The term loans have a weighted average maturity date of January 30, 2026 and an interest rate of SOFR +2.5%. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate outstanding balance of the unsecured term loans was $1.1 billion.
The Company is party to an unsecured, uncommitted line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) up to a maximum amount of $75.0 million with an affiliate of Blackstone (the “Lender”). The Line of Credit expires on January 24, 2025, and may be extended for up to 12 months, subject to Lender approval. The interest rate is equivalent to the then-current rate offered to the Company by a third party lender, or, if no such rate is available, SOFR +2.5%. Each advance under the Line of Credit is repayable on the earliest of (i) the expiration of the Line of Credit, (ii) Lender’s demand, and (iii) the date on which the Adviser no longer acts as the Company’s external manager, provided that the Company will have 180 days to make such repayment in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii) and 45 days to make such repayment in the case of clause (iii). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit.

Total$772,355 $1,033,083 
Accrued Stockholder Servicing Fee
The Company accrues the full amount of the future stockholder servicing fees payable to Blackstone Securities Partners L.P. (the “Dealer Manager”), a registered broker-dealer affiliated with the Adviser, for Class S, Class T, and Class D shares, up to the 8.75% of gross proceeds limit, at the time such shares are sold. The Dealer Manager has entered into agreements with the selected dealers distributing the Company’s shares as part of its continuous public offering, that provide, among other things, for the payment of the full amount of the selling commissions and dealer manager fee, and all or a portion of the stockholder servicing fees received by the Dealer Manager to such selected dealers.
Performance Participation Allocation
The Special Limited Partner holds a performance participation interest in BREIT OP that entitles it to receive an allocation of BREIT OP’s total return. Total return is defined as distributions paid or accrued plus the change in the Company’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”), adjusted for subscriptions and repurchases. Under the BREIT OP agreement, the annual total return will be allocated solely to the Special Limited Partner only after the other unitholders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount) and such allocation will continue until the allocation between the Special Limited Partner and all other BREIT OP unitholders is equal to 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return. The allocation of the performance participation interest is ultimately measured on a calendar year basis and will be paid quarterly in certain classes of units of BREIT OP or cash, at the election of the Special Limited Partner. To date, the Special Limited Partner has always elected to be paid in a combination of Class I and Class B units, resulting in a non-cash expense.
At the end of each calendar quarter that is not also the end of a calendar year, the Special Limited Partner is entitled to a performance participation allocation as described above calculated in respect of the portion of the year to date, less any performance participation allocation received with respect to prior quarters in that year (the “Quarterly Allocation”). The performance participation allocation that the Special Limited Partner is entitled to receive at the end of each calendar year will be reduced by the cumulative amount of Quarterly Allocations that year. If a Quarterly Allocation is made and at the end of a subsequent calendar quarter in the same calendar year the Special Limited Partner is entitled to less than the previously received Quarterly Allocation(s) (a “Quarterly Shortfall”), then subsequent distributions of any Quarterly Allocations or year-end performance allocations in that calendar year will be reduced by an amount equal to such Quarterly Shortfall, until such time as no Quarterly Shortfall remains. If all or any portion of a Quarterly Shortfall remains at the end of a calendar year following the application described in the previous sentence, distributions of any Quarterly Allocations and year-end performance allocations in the subsequent four calendar years will be reduced by (i) the remaining Quarterly Shortfall plus (ii) an annual rate of 5% on the remaining Quarterly Shortfall measured from the first day of the calendar year following the year in which the Quarterly Shortfall arose and compounded quarterly (collectively, the “Quarterly Shortfall Obligation”) until such time as no Quarterly Shortfall Obligation remains; provided, that the Special Limited Partner (or its affiliate) may make a full or partial cash payment to reduce the Quarterly Shortfall Obligation at any time; provided, further, that if any Quarterly Shortfall Obligation remains following such subsequent four calendar years, then the Special Limited Partner (or its affiliate) will promptly pay BREIT OP the remaining Quarterly Shortfall Obligation in cash.

25


For the year ended December 31, 2022, the full year performance participation allocation was less than the previously distributed Quarterly Allocations resulting in a Quarterly Shortfall in the amount of $74.9 million (the “2022 Quarterly Shortfall”). The 2022 Quarterly Shortfall and the related interest of $4.8 million was satisfied with the $105.0 million performance participation accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in a net performance participation allocation payable of $25.3 million as of March 31, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 1.1 million Class I units of BREIT OP, valued at $15.4 million, to the Special Limited Partner as partial payment of the net performance participation allocation earned by the Special Limited Partner as of March 31, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s total return did not exceed the year-to-date hurdle amount and the 2023 loss carryforward amount, resulting in a Quarterly Shortfall with respect to the $105.0 million performance participation allocation recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the “2024 Shortfall Obligation”).
As of September 30, 2024, the 2024 Shortfall Obligation of $105.0 million, net of $9.9 million of the performance participation allocation previously earned by the Special Limited Partner but not paid by the Company, is recorded as a receivable from the Special Limited Partner and included as a component of Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s total return did not exceed the hurdle amount and, as a result, no performance participation allocation expense was recognized.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company accrued interest income of $1.0 million, related to the 2022 Quarterly Shortfall. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not record any such interest income because the 2022 Quarterly Shortfall was no longer outstanding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued interest income of $1.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, related to the 2022 Quarterly Shortfall.
As of November 8, 2024, Blackstone owned shares of the Company and units of BREIT OP valued at an aggregate $3.0 billion. In addition, Blackstone employees, including the Company’s executive officers, owned shares of the Company and units of BREIT OP valued at an aggregate $1.4 billion.
Accrued Management Fee
The Adviser is entitled to an annual management fee equal to 1.25% of the Company’s NAV, payable monthly, as compensation for the services it provides to the Company. The management fee can be paid, at the Adviser’s election, in cash, certain classes of shares of the Company’s common stock, or certain classes of BREIT OP units. To date, the Adviser has always elected to be paid the management fee in shares of the Company’s common stock and units of BREIT OP, resulting in a non-cash expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred management fees of $174.3 million, and $542.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred management fees of $209.3 million, and $643.8 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 38.8 million units of BREIT OP to the Adviser as payment for management fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 24.8 million unregistered Class I shares to the Adviser as payment for management fees. The Company also had a payable of $57.7 million and $63.5 million related to the management fees as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During October 2024, the Adviser was issued 4.1 million units of BREIT OP as payment for the management fees accrued as of September 30, 2024. The shares and units issued to the Adviser for payment of the management fee were issued at the applicable NAV per share/unit at the end of each month for which the fee was earned. The Adviser did not submit any repurchase requests for shares previously issued as payment for management fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Accrued service provider expenses and incentive compensation awards
The Company has engaged certain portfolio companies owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, to provide, as applicable, operational services (including, without limitation, construction and project management), management services, loan management services, corporate support services (including, without limitation, accounting, information technology, legal, tax and human resources) and transaction support services for certain of the Company’s properties, and any such arrangements will be at or below market rates. The Company also engaged such portfolio companies for transaction support services related to acquisitions and dispositions, and such costs were either (i) capitalized to Investments in Real Estate or (ii) included as part of the gain (loss) on sale. For further details on the Company’s relationships with these service providers, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The expenses related to these providers, including the incentive compensation awards, are included as a component of Rental Property Operating expense and Hospitality Operating expense, as applicable, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Transaction support service fees were capitalized to Investments in Real Estate on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Neither Blackstone nor the Adviser receives any fees from these arrangements.

Other
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance due to the Adviser of $1.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to general corporate expenses provided by unaffiliated third parties that the Adviser paid on the Company's behalf. Such expenses are reimbursed by the Company to the Adviser in the ordinary course.
Affiliate Title Service Provider
Blackstone owns Lexington National Land Services (“LNLS”), a title agent company. LNLS acts as an agent for one or more underwriters in issuing title policies and/or providing support services in connection with investments by the Company, Blackstone and their affiliates and related parties, and third parties. LNLS focuses on transactions in rate-regulated states where the cost of title insurance is non-negotiable. LNLS will not perform services in non-regulated states for the Company, unless (i) in the context of a portfolio transaction that includes properties in rate-regulated states, (ii) as part of a syndicate of title insurance companies where the rate is negotiated by other insurers or their agents, (iii) when a third party is paying all or a material portion of the premium, or (iv) when providing only support services to the underwriter. LNLS earns fees, which would have otherwise been paid to third parties, by providing title agency services and facilitating placement of title insurance with underwriters. Blackstone receives distributions from LNLS in connection with investments by the Company based on its equity interest in LNLS. In each case, there will be no related expense offset to the Company.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company paid LNLS $4.4 million and $18.9 million, respectively, for title services related to certain investments, and such costs were included in calculating net gain on dispositions of real estate on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or recorded as deferred financing costs, which is a reduction to Mortgage Loans, Secured Term Loans, and Secured Revolving Credit Facilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Captive Insurance Company
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company contributed $123.5 million of capital to the captive insurance company owned by it and other Blackstone-advised investment vehicles. Of this amount, $2.4 million was attributable to the fee paid to a Blackstone affiliate to provide oversight and management services of the captive insurance company.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company contributed $123.2 million of capital to the captive insurance company, which includes a net refund of $0.3 million received by the Company related to insurance premiums previously paid to the captive insurance company. The net refund was attributable to dispositions of real estate and represented the pro-rata unused period of the annual premiums incurred to insure such dispositions. Included in the $123.2 million of capital contributed is $2.4 million attributable to the fee paid to a Blackstone affiliate to provide oversight and management services of the captive insurance company.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company contributed $163.9 million and $167.2 million, respectively, of capital to the captive insurance company for insurance premiums and its pro-rata share of other expenses. Of these amounts, $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was attributable to the fee paid to a Blackstone affiliate to provide oversight and management services to the captive insurance company.
The capital contributed and fees paid to the captive insurance company are in lieu of insurance premiums and fees that would otherwise be paid to third party insurance companies.
Other
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a receivable of $52.6 million and $46.5 million, respectively, from certain portfolio companies owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles related to the prepayment of certain corporate service fees and incentive compensation awards. Such amount is included in Other Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

13. Derivatives
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s investments and financing transactions. These derivatives may or may not qualify as net investment, cash flow, or fair value hedges under the hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815 - “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other identified risks.
The use of derivative financial instruments involves certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements do not perform as agreed. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties it believes to have appropriate credit ratings and that are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships.
Interest Rate Contracts
Certain of the Company’s transactions expose the Company to interest rate risks, which include exposure to variable interest rates on certain loans secured by the Company’s real estate in addition to its secured financings of investments in real estate debt. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, which includes interest rate swaps and caps, and may also include options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to limit the Company’s exposure to the future variability of interest rates. The Company has the right of offset for certain derivatives, and presents them net on its consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Certain of the Company’s international investments expose it to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to protect the value or fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of the U.S. dollar.

Share and Unit Repurchases
The Company has adopted a Share Repurchase Plan (the “Repurchase Plan”), which is approved and administered by the Company’s board of directors, whereby, subject to certain limitations, stockholders may request on a monthly basis that the Company repurchases all or any portion of their shares. The Repurchase Plan will be limited to no more than 2% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per month (measured using the aggregate NAV as of the end of the immediately preceding month) and no more than 5% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV as of the end of the immediately preceding three months). For the avoidance of doubt, both of these limits are assessed during each month in a calendar quarter. The Company has in the past received, and may in the future receive, repurchase requests that exceed the limits under the Repurchase Plan, and the Company has in the past repurchased less than the full amount of shares requested, resulting in the repurchase of shares on a pro rata basis.
34


Should repurchase requests, in the board of directors’ judgment, place an undue burden on its liquidity, adversely affect its operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should the board of directors otherwise determine that investing its liquid assets in real properties or other investments rather than repurchasing its shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole, the Company’s board of directors may determine to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased (including relative to the 2% monthly limit and 5% quarterly limit under the Repurchase Plan), or none at all. Further, the Company’s board of directors has in the past made exceptions to the limitations in the Repurchase Plan and may in the future, in certain circumstances, make exceptions to such repurchase limitations (or repurchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations), or modify or suspend the Repurchase Plan if, in its reasonable judgement, it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of its stockholders. In the event that the Company receives repurchase requests in excess of the 2% or 5% limits, then repurchase requests will be satisfied on a pro rata basis after the Company has repurchased all shares for which repurchase has been requested due to death, disability or divorce and other limited exceptions. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the Repurchase Plan, as applicable.
The Company fulfilled all repurchase requests for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 555.7 million shares of common stock and 8.7 million units of BREIT OP for a total of $8.0 billion.
Distributions

The Company considers a variety of factors when determining its distributions, including cash flows from operations, Funds Available for Distribution, net asset value, and total return, and in any case, generally intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders each year to comply with the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Each class of common stock receives the same gross distribution per share. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share and paid directly to the applicable distributor. Class C shares currently have no distribution amount presented as the class is generally an accumulating share class whereby its share of income will accrete into its NAV.
The following table details the aggregate distributions declared for each applicable class of common stock:(1)

(1) Class C shares currently have no distribution amount presented as the class is generally an accumulating share class whereby its share of income will accrete into its NAV.
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
In connection with its performance participation interest, the Special Limited Partner holds Class I units in BREIT OP. See Note 10 for further details of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation interest. Because the Special Limited Partner has the ability to redeem its Class I units for Class I shares in the Company or cash, at the election of the Special Limited Partner, the Company has classified these Class I units as Redeemable Non-controlling Interest in mezzanine equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table details the redeemable non-controlling interest activity related to the Special Limited Partner for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):

In addition to the Special Limited Partner’s interest noted above, certain of the Company’s third party joint ventures also have a redeemable non-controlling interest in such joint ventures. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $158.3 million and $197.2 million, respectively, related to such third party joint ventures was included in Redeemable Non-controlling Interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Redeemable Non-controlling Interests are recorded at the greater of (i) their carrying amount, adjusted for their share of the allocation of GAAP net income (loss) and distributions, or (ii) their redemption value, which is equivalent to the fair value of such interests at the end of each measurement period. Accordingly, the Company recorded an allocation adjustment between Additional Paid-in Capital and Redeemable Non-controlling Interest of $7.8 million and $27.9 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $18.5 million and $3.1 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, to reflect their redemption value.

15. Leases
Lessor
The Company’s rental revenue primarily consists of rent earned from operating leases at the Company’s rental housing, industrial, net lease, data centers, self storage, retail, and office properties. Leases at the Company’s industrial, data centers, retail, and office properties generally include a fixed base rent, and certain leases also contain a variable rent component. The variable component of the Company’s operating leases at its industrial, data centers, retail, and office properties primarily consist of the reimbursement of operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s rental housing properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent, and certain leases contain a variable component that allows for the pass-through of certain operating expenses such as utilities. Rental revenue earned from leases at the Company’s self storage properties primarily consist of a fixed base rent only.
Rental revenue from leases at the Company’s net lease properties consists of a fixed annual rent that escalates annually throughout the term of the applicable leases, and the tenant is generally responsible for all property-related expenses, including taxes, insurance, and maintenance. The Company’s net lease properties are leased to a single tenant. The Company assessed the lease classification of the net lease properties and determined the leases were each operating leases. The Company’s assessment included the consideration of the present value of the applicable lease payments over the lease terms and the residual value of the leased assets.
Leases at the Company’s industrial, net lease, data centers, retail, and office properties are generally longer term (greater than 12 months in length), and may contain extension and termination options at the lessee’s election. Often, these leases have annual escalations that are tied to the CPI index. Leases at the Company’s rental housing and self storage properties are short term in nature, generally not greater than 12 months in length.

We use our website (www.breit.com) as a channel of distribution of company information. The information we post through this channel may be deemed material. Accordingly, investors should monitor this channel, in addition to following our press releases and SEC filings. The contents of our website are not, however, a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We invest primarily in stabilized, income-generating commercial real estate in the United States and to a lesser extent, outside the United States. We also, to a lesser extent, invest in real estate debt investments. We are the sole general partner and majority limited partner of BREIT Operating Partnership L.P. (“BREIT OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and we own substantially all of our assets through BREIT OP. We are externally managed by BX REIT Advisors L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is part of the real estate group of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”), a leading investment manager. We currently operate our business 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 manufactured, student, affordable, and single family rental housing, as well as senior living. Net Lease includes the real estate assets of The Bellagio Las Vegas (the “Bellagio”) and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (the “Cosmopolitan”). Unconsolidated interests are included in the respective property segment.
BREIT is a non-listed, perpetual life real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal income tax. We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.
As of November 8, 2024, we had received cumulative net proceeds of $77.2 billion from the sale of 6.0 billion shares of our Class S, Class I, Class T, Class D and Class C common stock in our continuous public offering and private offerings, and units of BREIT OP. We contributed the net proceeds from the sale of shares to BREIT OP in exchange for a corresponding number of Class S, Class I, Class T, Class D and Class C units. As of November 8, 2024, there are no Class F shares or Class F units outstanding. BREIT OP has primarily used the net proceeds to make investments in real estate and real estate debt and for other general corporate purposes (including to fund repurchase requests under our share repurchase plan (the “Share Repurchase Plan”) from time to time) as further described below under “Investment Portfolio.” We intend to continue selling shares of our common stock on a monthly basis through our continuous public offering and private offerings.

Investments:
Sold 52 rental housing properties, three industrial properties, three retail properties and two hospitality properties for total net proceeds of $3.8 billion. We recognized a net realized gain of $0.9 billion, net of the impairments recorded during the quarter, related to the disposition of such properties.
Included above is the sale of 19 student housing properties for net proceeds of $1.6 billion, resulting in a net realized gain of $682.6 million. Net proceeds includes a $200.0 million preferred interest investment retained.
Capital and Financing Activity:
Raised $0.7 billion from the sale of shares of our common stock and units of BREIT OP during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Repurchased $1.7 billion of our shares and units from investors during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Repaid a net $2.1 billion of financings during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Current Portfolio:    
Our portfolio as of September 30, 2024 consisted of investments in real estate (94% based on fair value) and investments in real estate debt (6%).
Our 4,675 properties(3) as of September 30, 2024 consisted primarily of Rental Housing (50% based on fair value), Industrial (26%), Data Centers (11%) and Net Lease (5%), and our real estate portfolio was primarily concentrated in the following regions: South (38%), West (29%) and East (20%).
Our investments in real estate debt as of September 30, 2024 consisted of a diversified portfolio of CMBS, RMBS, mortgage and mezzanine loans, and other real estate-related debt. For further details on credit rating and underlying real estate collateral, refer to “Investment Portfolio – Investments in Real Estate Debt” below.
(1)The annualized distribution rate is calculated by averaging each of the three months’ annualized distribution, divided by the prior month’s net asset value, which is inclusive of all fees and expenses. We believe the annualized distribution rate is a useful measure of our overall investment performance.
(2)Total return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the respective periods plus any distributions per share declared in the period, and assumes any distributions are reinvested under our distribution reinvestment plan. Total return for periods greater than one year are annualized. We believe total return is a useful measure of our overall investment performance.
(3)Excludes 63,688 single family rental homes. Such single family rental homes are included in the fair value amounts.

General and Administrative Expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to a decrease in various corporate level expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Management Fee
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the management fee decreased $35.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to a lower average NAV during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Impairment of Investments in Real Estate

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, impairments of investments in real estate decreased $12.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized an aggregate $48.6 million of impairment charges including (i) $20.9 million related to certain properties as a result of updates to the undiscounted cash flow assumptions to account for a shorter hold period, and (ii) $27.7 million related to certain held-for-sale real estate investments where their GAAP carrying amount exceeded their fair value, less estimated closing costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized impairments of $61.0 million related to certain properties as a result of updates to the undiscounted cash flow assumptions to account for a shorter hold period.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization decreased $80.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of disposition activity from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024 and the full amortization of certain intangible assets.
Loss from Unconsolidated Entities
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, income from unconsolidated entities increased $78.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $64.4 million related to the change in the fair value of unconsolidated entities carried at fair value.
58


Income from Investments in Real Estate Debt
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, income from investments in real estate debt decreased $7.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the change in net assets of consolidated securitization vehicles decreased $9.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $3.0 million in net unrealized/realized gains and a decrease of $6.1 million in interest income due to a decrease in principal value of our net investments in these securitization vehicles.
(Loss) Income from Interest Rate Derivatives
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, income from interest rate derivatives decreased $1.2 billion compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the fair value of derivatives.

Interest Expense, Net
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, net interest expense increased $44.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the incremental borrowings outstanding.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, loss on extinguishment of debt decreased $6.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of refinancing and disposition activity during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Other (Expense) Income
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, other expense decreased $9.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Same Property NOI
Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our property operating results that we believe is meaningful because it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at our real estate. We define NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) impairment of investments in real estate, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) straight-line rental income and expense, (iv) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, (v) amortization of accumulated unrealized gains on derivatives previously recognized in other comprehensive income, (vi) lease termination fees, (vii) property expenses not core to the operations of such properties, and (viii) other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fee, (c) performance participation allocation, (d) incentive compensation awards, (e) income (loss) from investments in real estate debt, (f) change in net assets of consolidated securitization vehicles, (g) income (loss) from interest rate derivatives, (h) net gain on dispositions of real estate, (i) interest expense, net, (j) loss on extinguishment of debt, (k) other income (expense), and (l) similar adjustments for NOI attributable to non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
We evaluate our consolidated results of operations on a Same Property basis, which allows us to analyze our property operating results excluding acquisitions and dispositions during the periods under comparison. Properties in our portfolio are considered Same Property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considered Non-Same Property. Recently developed properties are not included in Same Property results until the properties have achieved stabilization for both full periods presented. We define stabilization for the property as the earlier of (i) achieving 90% occupancy, (ii) 12 months after receiving a certificate of occupancy, or (iii) for Data Centers, 12 months after receiving a certificate of occupancy and greater than 50% of its critical IT capacity has been built. Certain assets are excluded from Same Property results and are considered Non-Same Property, including (i) properties held-for-sale, (ii) properties that are being redeveloped, (iii) properties identified for future sale, and (iv) interests in unconsolidated entities under contract for sale with hard deposit or other factors ensuring the buyer’s performance. We do not consider our investments in the real estate debt segment or equity securities to be Same Property.
Same Property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the acquisition, disposition, development, or redevelopment of properties during the periods presented, and therefore we believe it provides a meaningful performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of our properties, which we believe is useful to investors. Our Same Property NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than our GAAP net income (loss).

Same Property – Rental Revenue
Same Property rental revenue increased $70.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due to a $55.5 million increase in base rental revenue, a $10.0 million increase in tenant reimbursement income, and a $5.2 million decrease in our bad debt reserve. Our bad debt reserve represents the amount of rental revenue we anticipate we will not be able to collect from our tenants.

Same Property – Rental Revenue
Same Property rental revenue increased $257.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due to a $184.4 million increase in base rental revenue, a $38.6 million increase in tenant reimbursement income as a result of higher operating expenses, and a $34.0 million decrease in our bad debt reserve. Our bad debt reserve represents the amount of rental revenue we anticipate we will not be able to collect from our tenants.

Same Property – Hospitality Revenue
Same Property hospitality revenue increased $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in hospitality revenue was primarily due to an increase in occupancy and food and beverage revenue at our hotels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Same Property – Other Revenue
Same Property other revenue decreased $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased ancillary income at our rental housing and industrial properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Same Property – Rental Property Operating Expenses
Same Property rental property operating expenses increased $93.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in rental property operating expenses was primarily the result of increased insurance, real estate taxes, and general operating expenses at our rental housing properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Same Property – Hospitality Operating Expenses
Same Property hospitality operating expenses increased $10.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in hospitality operating expenses was primarily the result of increased insurance, food and beverage expense, and other operating expenses at our hotels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution
We believe Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented using historical cost accounting which, among other things, requires depreciation of real estate investments. As a result, our operating results imply that the value of our real estate investments have decreased over time. However, we believe that the value of our real estate investments will fluctuate over time based on market conditions and, as such, depreciation under historical cost accounting may be less informative as a measure of our performance. FFO is an operating measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) that is broadly used in the REIT industry. FFO, as defined by NAREIT and presented below, is calculated as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) impairment of investments in real estate, (iii) net gains or losses from sales of real estate, (iv) net gains or losses from change in control, and (v) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
We also believe that Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is an additional meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. AFFO further adjusts FFO to reflect the performance of our portfolio by adjusting for items we believe are not directly attributable to our operations. Our adjustments to FFO to arrive at AFFO include removing the impact of (i) the performance participation allocation to our Special Limited Partner or other incentive compensation awards that are based on our Net Asset Value, which includes unrealized gains and losses not recorded in GAAP net income (loss), and that are paid in shares or BREIT OP units, even if subsequently repurchased by us, (ii) gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, (iii) changes in fair value of financial instruments, (iv) amortization of accumulated unrealized gains on derivatives previously recognized in other comprehensive income, (v) straight-line rental income and expense, (vi) amortization of deferred financing costs, (vii) amortization of restricted stock awards, (viii) amortization of mortgage premium/discount, (ix) organization costs, (x) severance costs, (xi) net forfeited investment deposits, (xii) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, (xiii) gain or loss on involuntary conversion, and adding (xiv) proceeds from interest rate contract receivables, and (xv) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities.
We also believe that Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) is an additional meaningful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating results. FAD provides useful information for considering our operating results and certain other items relative to the amount of our distributions. Further, FAD is a metric, among others, that is considered by our board of directors and executive officers when determining the amount of our dividend to stockholders, and we believe is therefore meaningful to stockholders. FAD is calculated as AFFO adjusted for (i) management fees paid in shares or BREIT OP units, even if subsequently repurchased by us, (ii) recurring tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and other capital expenditures, (iii) stockholder servicing fees paid during the period, (iv) realized gains or losses on financial instruments, and (v) similar adjustments for non-controlling interests and unconsolidated entities. FAD is not indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs and does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, as FAD is adjusted for stockholder servicing fees and recurring tenant improvements, leasing commission, and other capital expenditures, which are not considered when determining cash flows from operations. Furthermore, FAD excludes (i) adjustments for working capital items and (ii) amortization of discounts and premiums on investments in real estate debt. Cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP would generally be adjusted for such items.
FFO, AFFO, and FAD should not be considered more relevant or accurate than GAAP net income (loss) in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO, AFFO, and FAD should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as indications of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indications of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO, AFFO, and FAD are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our methodology for calculating AFFO and FAD may differ from the methodologies employed by other companies to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and accordingly, our reported AFFO and FAD may not be comparable to the AFFO and FAD reported by other companies.

Net Asset Value
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation guidelines that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used by our Adviser in connection with our NAV calculation. These guidelines are designed to produce a fair and accurate estimate of the price that would be received for our investments in an arm’s-length transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller in possession of all material information about our investments.
The calculation of our NAV is intended to be a calculation of the fair value of our assets less our outstanding liabilities as described below and will likely differ materially from the book value of our equity reflected in our financial statements. As a public company, we are required to issue financial statements based on historical cost determined in accordance with GAAP. To calculate our NAV for the purpose of establishing a purchase and repurchase price for our shares, we have adopted a model, as explained below, that adjusts the value of our assets and liabilities from historical cost to fair value generally in accordance with the GAAP principles set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Our Adviser will calculate the fair value of our real estate properties monthly based in part on values provided by third party independent appraisers and such calculation will be reviewed by an independent valuation advisor as further discussed below.
Because these fair value calculations involve significant professional judgment in the application of both observable and unobservable attributes, the calculated fair value of our assets may differ from their actual realizable value or future fair value. While we believe our NAV calculation methodologies are consistent with standard industry practices, there is no rule or regulation that requires us to calculate NAV in a certain way. As a result, other public REITs may use different methodologies or assumptions to determine NAV. In addition, NAV is not a measure determined under GAAP and the valuations of, and certain adjustments made to, our assets and liabilities used in the determination of NAV will differ materially from comparable historical cost amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider NAV to be equivalent to stockholders’ equity or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.
The following valuation methods are used for purposes of calculating the significant components of our NAV:
Consolidated properties are initially valued at cost, which we expect to represent fair value at the time of acquisition. Subsequently, consolidated properties are primarily valued using the discounted cash flow methodology (income approach), whereby a property’s value is calculated by discounting the estimated cash flows and the anticipated terminal value of the subject property by the assumed new buyer’s normalized weighted average cost of capital for the subject property. Consistent with industry practices, the income approach also incorporates subjective judgments regarding comparable rental and operating expense data, capitalization or discount rate, and projections of future rent and expenses based on appropriate evidence as well as the residual value of the asset as components in determining value. Other methodologies that may also be used to value properties include sales comparisons and replacement cost approaches. We believe the discount rate and exit capitalization rate are the key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow methodology. Below the tables that set forth our NAV calculation is a sensitivity analysis of the weighted average discount rates and exit capitalization rates for our property investments.
Investments in real estate debt consist of CMBS and RMBS, which are securities backed by one or more mortgage loans secured by real estate assets, as well as corporate bonds, term loans, mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, and other investments in debt issued by real estate-related companies or secured by real estate assets. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in real estate debt by utilizing third party pricing service providers whenever available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models for securities such as real estate debt generally consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each security, and incorporate specific collateral performance, as applicable. Certain of the Company’s investments in real estate debt, such as mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and other investments, are unlikely to have readily available market quotations. In such cases, the Company will generally determine the initial value based on the acquisition price of such investment if acquired by the Company or the par value of such investment if originated by the Company. Following the initial measurements, the Company engaged third party service providers to perform valuations for such investments. The service providers will determine fair value by utilizing or reviewing certain of the following (i) market yield data, (ii) discounted cash flow modeling, (iii) collateral asset performance, (iv) local or macro real estate performance, (v) capital market conditions, (vi) debt yield or loan-to-value ratios, and (vii) borrower financial condition and performance. Refer to “Fair Value Measurements” section of Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the Company’s investments in real estate debt.
71


The Company separately values the assets and liabilities of the investments in unconsolidated entities. To determine the fair value of the real estate assets of the investments in unconsolidated entities, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow methodology or market comparable methodology, taking into consideration various factors including discount rate, exit capitalization rate and multiples of comparable companies. The Company utilizes third party service providers to perform valuations of the indebtedness of the investments in unconsolidated entities. The fair value of the indebtedness of the investments in unconsolidated entities is determined by modeling the cash flows required by the debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using weighted average cost of capital. Additionally, current market rates and conditions are considered by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. After the fair value of the assets and liabilities are determined, the Company applies its ownership interest to the net asset value and reflects this amount as its investments in unconsolidated entities at fair value.
Mortgage loans, secured term loans, secured revolving credit facilities, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities are estimated by modeling the cash flows required by the Company’s debt agreements and discounting them back to the present value using an estimated market yield. Additionally, current market rates and conditions are considered by evaluating similar borrowing agreements with comparable loan-to-value ratios and credit profiles. The Company utilizes third party service providers to perform these valuations.
NAV and NAV Per Share Calculation
Each share class has an undivided interest in our assets and liabilities, other than class-specific stockholder servicing fees. In accordance with the valuation guidelines, our NAV per share for each share class as of the last calendar day of each month is calculated using a process that reflects several components, including the estimated fair value of (1) each of our properties, (2) our investments in real estate debt, (3) our investments in unconsolidated entities, (4) our mortgage loans, secured term loans, secured revolving credit facilities, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and (5) our other assets and liabilities.
At the end of each month, our change in NAV for each share class is calculated as follows:
Shares are issued for subscriptions received and distribution reinvestments to each respective share class, as applicable, and are effective on the first day of each month. The proceeds received through subscriptions and distribution reinvestments for each share class are additions to the prior month ending aggregate NAV for each respective share class (including OP units). Additionally, the NAV of each share class is reduced by the respective repurchases for such month. The result represents the aggregate NAV per share class effective as of the first calendar day of the current month.
Any change in our aggregate NAV (whether an increase or decrease) is allocated among each class of shares (including OP units) based on each class’s relative percentage of the total aggregate NAV effective on the first calendar day of the current month (as described in the previous bullet). Changes in our aggregate NAV include, but are not limited to, net portfolio income from investments, interest expense, realized and unrealized net real estate and debt appreciation, general and administrative expenses, management fee and performance participation allocation. Unrealized net real estate appreciation includes any change in the fair market value of our investments in real estate, investments in real estate debt, investments in unconsolidated entities, mortgage loans, term loans, revolving credit facilities and secured financings in real estate debt.
Net distributions are typically declared on the last day of each month and are a reduction to the NAV of each respective share class. As a result of the allocation of stockholder servicing fees, the net distributions per share will differ by share class. The monthly stockholder servicing fee is calculated as a percentage of each applicable class of shares’ NAV (Class S, Class T, and Class D). Class I, Class C, and Class F shares are not subject to the stockholder servicing fee.
NAV per share for each class is calculated by dividing such class’s NAV at the end of each month by the number of shares outstanding for that class at the end of such month.
Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the prospectus for the Current Offering (as defined below) for further details on how our NAV is determined.

The following details the adjustments to reconcile total GAAP stockholders’ equity of BREIT and partners’ capital of BREIT OP to our NAV:
Accrued stockholder servicing fees represent the accrual for the cost of the stockholder servicing fees for Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. Under GAAP, we accrued the full cost of the stockholder servicing fees payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum stockholder servicing fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the Class S, Class T, and Class D shares. Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the GAAP treatment regarding the stockholder servicing fees. For purposes of calculating NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fees as a reduction to NAV on a monthly basis when such fees are paid.
Under GAAP, the affiliated incentive compensation awards are valued as of grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis with an offset to equity, resulting in no impact to Stockholders’ Equity. For purposes of calculating NAV, we value the awards based on performance in the applicable period and deduct such value from NAV.
We depreciate our investments in real estate and amortize certain other assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Such depreciation and amortization is not recorded for purposes of calculating our NAV. 
Our investments in real estate are presented at their depreciated cost basis in our GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our mortgage loans, secured and unsecured term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and repurchase agreements (collectively, “Debt”) are presented at their amortized cost basis in our condensed consolidated GAAP financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of our investments in real estate or our Debt are not included in our GAAP results. For purposes of calculating our NAV, our investments in real estate and our Debt are recorded at fair value.

Distributions
Beginning in March 2017, we have declared monthly distributions for each class of our common stock and OP units, which are generally paid 20 days after month-end. We have paid distributions consecutively each month since that time. Each class of our common stock and OP units received the same aggregate gross distribution of $0.4959 per share/unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Class C shares currently have no distribution amount presented as the class is generally an accumulating share class whereby its share of income will accrete into its NAV. As of September 30, 2024, there were no Class F shares outstanding. The net distribution varies for each class based on the applicable stockholder servicing fee, which is deducted from the monthly distribution per share/unit and paid directly to the applicable distributor. The table below details the net distribution for each of our share classes and OP units for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to operate our business, with $6.9 billion of liquidity as of November 7, 2024. When we refer to our liquidity, this includes amounts available under our undrawn revolving credit facilities of $5.1 billion as well as unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 billion. We also expect $0.3 billion of proceeds from dispositions under contract where we have received a non-refundable deposit as of November 7, 2024. We also generate incremental liquidity through our operating cash flows, which were $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We may also generate incremental liquidity through the sale of our real estate debt investments, which were carried at their estimated fair value of $6.9 billion as of September 30, 2024. In addition, we remain moderately leveraged (49% as of September 30, 2024) and can generate additional liquidity through incurring additional indebtedness secured by our real estate and real estate debt investments, unsecured financings, and other forms of indebtedness. Our leverage ratio is measured by dividing (i) consolidated property-level and entity-level debt net of cash and debt-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. Our leverage ratio would be higher if the indebtedness on our real estate debt investments and pro rata share of debt within our unconsolidated investments were taken into account.
In addition to our current liquidity, we obtain incremental liquidity through the sale of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering and private offerings, and units of BREIT OP, from which we have received cumulative net proceeds of $77.2 billion as of November 7, 2024.

(1)“+” refers to the relevant floating benchmark rates, which include SOFR, Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), EURIBOR, and SONIA as applicable to each loan or secured financing. As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional balance of $32.7 billion and interest rate caps with an aggregate notional balance of $11.9 billion that mitigate our exposure to potential future interest rate increases under our floating-rate debt.
(2)Weighted average maturity assumes maximum maturity date, including any extensions, where the Company, at its sole discretion, has one or more extension options.
(3)Includes $293.8 million and $293.3 million of loans related to investments in affordable housing properties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Such loans are generally from municipalities, housing authorities, and other third parties administered through government sponsored affordable housing programs. Certain of these loans may be forgiven if specific affordable housing conditions are maintained.
(4)Additional borrowings under the Company's variable rate warehouse facilities require additional collateral, which are subject to lender approval.

The table above excludes consolidated senior CMBS positions owned by third parties, which are reflected in our consolidated GAAP balance sheets, as these liabilities are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied by repayment of the collateral loans underlying such securitizations.

Weighted average interest rate of loans secured by our properties6.2%

We registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), an offering 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 we began using to offer shares of our common stock in March 2022 (the “Current Offering”).

As of November 8, 2024, we have received cumulative net proceeds of $15.7 billion from selling an aggregate of 1.1 billion shares of our common stock in the Current Offering, including shares converted from operating partnership units by the Special Limited Partner (consisting of 404.4 million Class S shares, 517.3 million Class I shares, 20.9 million Class T shares, and 126.7 million Class D shares).
Capital Uses
During periods when we are selling more shares than we are repurchasing, we primarily use our capital to acquire our investments, which we also fund with other capital resources. During periods when we are repurchasing more shares than we are selling, we primarily use our capital to fund repurchases. We fulfilled all repurchase requests for the three months ended September 30, 2024. We continue to believe that our current liquidity position is sufficient to meet the needs of our business.
In addition, we may have other funding obligations, which we expect to satisfy with the cash flows generated from our investments and our capital resources described above. Such obligations may include distributions to our stockholders, operating expenses, capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, and debt service on our outstanding indebtedness. Our operating expenses include, among other things, the management fee we pay to the Adviser and the performance participation allocation that BREIT OP pays to the Special Limited Partner, both of which will impact our liquidity to the extent the Adviser or the Special Limited Partner elects to receive such payments in cash, or subsequently redeem shares or OP units previously issued to them. To date, the Adviser and the Special Limited Partner have both always elected to be paid in a combination of shares and OP units, resulting in a non-cash expense.
Cash Flows
The following table provides a breakdown of the net change in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash ($ in thousands):

Cash flows used in financing activities(9,177,060)(9,925,880)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash$(192,916)$415,757 
Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $0.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to decreased cash flows from the operations of income from our investments in real estate and of our investments in real estate debt.
Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased $0.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $1.0 billion in return of capital distributions received from unconsolidated entities, (ii) a decrease of $0.6 billion in proceeds from disposition of real estate and (iii) a decrease of $0.2 billion in other investing activities. This was partially offset by (i) an increase of $0.8 billion in proceeds from the realization of investments in real estate debt securities and (ii) a decrease of $0.2 billion in capital improvements to real estate.
Cash flows from financing activities increased $0.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) a net increase of $3.9 billion in borrowings and (ii) a decrease of $1.4 billion in repurchases of common stock, offset by a decrease of $4.5 billion in proceeds from issuance of common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion concerning recent accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with
GAAP involve significant judgments and assumptions and require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Policies, including significant accounting policies that we believe are the most affected by our judgments, estimates, and assumptions, which are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

81


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our variable rate indebtedness such that an increase in interest rates would result in higher net interest expense. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing a mix of fixed and floating rate financings with staggered maturities, and through interest rate hedging agreements to fix or cap a majority of our variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding principal balance of our variable rate indebtedness was $44.8 billion and consisted of mortgage loans, secured and unsecured term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and secured financings on investments in real estate debt.
Certain of our mortgage loans, secured and unsecured term loans, secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities, and secured financings are variable rate and indexed to SOFR, SONIA, EURIBOR, CORRA, and other similar benchmark rates (collectively, the “Reference Rates”). We have executed interest rate swaps with an aggregate net notional amount of $32.7 billion and interest rate caps with an aggregate net notional balance of $11.9 billion as of September 30, 2024 to hedge the risk of increasing interest rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 25 basis points in each of the Reference Rates would have resulted in increased interest expense of $6.2 million and $18.7 million, respectively, net of the impact of our interest rate swaps and caps. Our exposure to interest rate risk may vary in future periods as the amount and terms of our interest rate hedging agreements change over time as we implement our hedging program. See “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate Debt — We utilize derivatives, which involve numerous risks” and “Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition” and “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors — General Risk Factors — We will face risks associated with hedging transactions” for more information on risks associated with our use of derivatives and hedging transactions of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for more information.

Investments in Real Estate Debt
As of September 30, 2024, we held $6.9 billion of investments in real estate debt, which excludes the impact of consolidating the underlying loans that serve as collateral for certain securitizations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our investments in real estate debt are primarily floating-rate and indexed to the Reference Rates, and as such, exposed to interest rate risk. Our net income will increase or decrease depending on interest rate movements. While we cannot predict factors that may or may not affect interest rates, a decrease of 25 basis points in the Reference Rates would have resulted in a decrease to income from investments in real estate debt of $3.7 million and $11.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
We may also be exposed to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate debt due to changes in the fair value of our investments. We seek to manage our exposure to market risk with respect to our investments in real estate debt by making investments in real estate debt backed by different types of collateral and varying credit ratings. The fair value of our investments may fluctuate, therefore the amount we will realize upon any sale of our investments in real estate debt is unknown.
82


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to accomplish their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
No change in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
83


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2024, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
ITEM  1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus dated April 16, 2024, as supplemented.

84


ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we issued equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act. As described in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements, the Adviser is entitled to an annual management fee payable monthly in cash, shares of common stock, or BREIT OP Units, in each case at the Adviser’s election. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Adviser elected to receive its management fee in Class B units of BREIT OP, and we issued 12.5 million Class B units of BREIT OP to the Adviser in satisfaction of the 2024 management fee through August 2024. Additionally, we issued $4.1 million Class B units of BREIT OP to the Adviser in October 2024 in satisfaction of the September 2024 management fee. The issuance of such shares in satisfaction of the management fee was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2).
We have also sold Class I and Class C shares to feeder vehicles created primarily to hold Class I and Class C shares and offer indirect interests in such shares to non-U.S. persons. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we received $97.7 million from selling 6.9 million unregistered Class I and Class C shares to such vehicles. The offer and sale of Class I and Class C shares to the feeder vehicles was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation S thereunder. We intend to use the net proceeds from such sales for the purposes set forth in the prospectus for our offering and in a manner within the investment guidelines approved by our board of directors, who serve as fiduciaries to our stockholders.
Share Repurchases
Under our Share Repurchase Plan, to the extent we choose to repurchase shares in any particular month, we will only repurchase shares as of the opening of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Repurchase Date”). Repurchases will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Repurchase Date (which will generally be equal to our prior month’s NAV per share), except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of the transaction price (the “Early Repurchase Deduction”) subject to certain limited exceptions. Settlements of share repurchases will generally be made within three business days of the Repurchase Date. The Early Repurchase Deduction will not apply to shares acquired through our distribution reinvestment plan.
The aggregate NAV of total repurchases of Class S shares, Class I shares, Class T shares, Class D shares, Class C and Class F shares (including repurchases at certain non-U.S. investor access funds primarily created to hold shares of the Company, but excluding any Early Repurchase Deduction applicable to the repurchased shares) is limited to no more than 2% of our aggregate NAV per month (measured using the aggregate NAV attributable to stockholders as of the end of the immediately preceding month) and no more than 5% of our aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV attributable to stockholders as of the end of the immediately preceding three months). For the avoidance of doubt, both of these limits are assessed during each month in a calendar quarter. We have in the past received, and may in the future receive, repurchase requests that exceed the limits under our Share Repurchase Plan, and we have in the past repurchased less than the full amount of shares requested, resulting in the repurchase of shares on a pro rata basis. We fulfilled all repurchase requests for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Should repurchase requests, in our board of directors’ judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should our board of directors otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole, our board of directors may determine to repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased (including relative to the 2% monthly limit and 5% quarterly limit under our Share Repurchase Plan), or none at all. Further, our board of directors has in the past made exceptions to the limitations in our Share Repurchase Plan and may in the future, in certain circumstances, make exceptions to such repurchase limitations (or repurchase fewer shares than such repurchase limitations), or modify or suspend our Share Repurchase Plan if, in its reasonable judgement, it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. In the event that we determine to repurchase some but not all of the shares submitted for repurchase during any month, shares repurchased at the end of the month will be repurchased on a pro rata basis after we have repurchased all shares for which repurchase has been requested due to death, disability or divorce and other limited exceptions. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the Share Repurchase Plan, as applicable.
If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no repurchase requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares repurchased the following month must resubmit their repurchase requests.
