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.

Debt

Our real estate debt business provides creative and comprehensive financing solutions across the capital structure and risk spectrum. We originate loans and invest in debt securities underpinned by high-quality real estate. We manage Blackstone Mortgage Trust (NYSE: BXMT), a leading real estate finance company that originates senior loans collateralized by commercial real estate.
