WHAT WE DO
We invest thematically in high-quality assets, focusing where we see outsized growth potential driven by global economic and demographic trends.
Conviction
Our vast portfolio provides us with proprietary information across every major real estate asset class in virtually every major market around the world, allowing us to identify themes and invest capital with conviction.
Connectivity
Our people are our advantage. Our team of nearly 900 real estate professionals across 12 offices operates as one globally integrated business, allowing us to identify the opportunities and limits of each potential transaction through one investment review process.
Scale
Scale is one of our greatest strengths. The breadth of our existing portfolio gives us differentiated perspectives across sectors and geographies, while our significant discretionary capital base enables us to execute large and complex transactions.
OUR STRATEGIES
We have invested successfully through all market cycles and across the entire risk spectrum.
Since we started investing in real estate in 1991, the growth of our business across both products and geographies has expanded our ability to provide practical and diverse solutions to our limited partners.
Opportunistic
Our opportunistic business seeks to acquire undermanaged, well-located assets across the world. In connection with these acquisitions, we build businesses that are set up to manage the underlying properties and ultimately maximize their value by instituting best-in-class management. Post-acquisition, we also invest in the properties to improve them before selling the assets and returning capital to our limited partners.
Core+
Our Core+ business features stabilized real estate with a long investment horizon and moderate leverage, where we can unlock additional value through focused asset management. Our institutional North America, Europe and Asia Core+ strategies focus on logistics, residential, office, life science office and retail assets in global gateway cities. The Core+ Real Estate business also comprises strategies tailored for income-focused individual investors including Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (BREIT), a U.S. non-listed REIT, and Blackstone’s European yield-oriented strategy.

While Blackstone believes ESG factors can enhance long-term value, Blackstone does not pursue an ESG-based investment strategy or limit its investments to those that meet specific ESG criteria or standards, except with respect to products or strategies that are explicitly designated as doing so in their offering documents or other applicable governing documents. Any such considerations do not qualify Blackstone’s objectives to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
