May 23, 2026

Dear BREIT Stockholder,

BREIT delivered its best trailing twelve-month performance in nearly four years, with our accelerating returns in the first half of 2026 contributing to a 10.3% Class I return over the last year. [ 1 ]

June net return of 1.1% contributed to a first half return of 5.2% for Class I shares and marked 18 consecutive months of positive performance. [ 1 ] Since inception nearly 10 years ago, BREIT has delivered a +9.4% ITD net return (Class I), ~40% higher than publicly traded REITs and ~3x the broader private real estate universe on an annualized basis. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Importantly, BREIT has delivered this strong performance across vastly different investment environments, from a period of persistently low interest rates to a global pandemic and then one of the fastest rate-hiking cycles in history.

Consistent Income with Potential Tax Benefits

Approximately half of BREIT’s total return is income with potential tax benefits. BREIT generated a 4.6% annualized distribution rate (Class I) and in 2025, 100% of BREIT’s distribution was classified as return of capital, bringing our annualized distribution rate to 7.3% on a tax-equivalent basis. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]* For investors in high-tax states such as New York or California, BREIT’s distributions are even more compelling at ~9% on a tax-equivalent basis.[ 6 ] Importantly, BREIT has paid a stable distribution since inception, providing a reliable and consistent source of income. [ 7 ]

Blackstone and BREIT also recently launched Blackstone Real Estate Exchange (“BXREX”), a 1031 DST exchange program, which gives us the opportunity to expand and diversify our capital-raising strategies. BXREX allows real estate owners to exchange eligible properties for institutional-quality real estate identified and managed by Blackstone Real Estate through a DST structure. To learn more about the BXREX program, please visit the BXREX website.

*Assumes that the investment in BREIT shares is not sold or redeemed. The tax-equivalent distribution rate (Federal) would be up to 1.5% lower taking into account deferred capital gains tax that would be payable upon repurchase. See notes 3 and 4 and “Important Disclosure Information-Tax Information” for more information.

Capital Rotating into Real Estate

In a world of persistent volatility and rapid AI disruption, we are seeing investors turn to real estate due to its tangible, cash-flowing assets and lower obsolescence risk relative to other asset classes. As AI’s role in the economy grows, people will still need a place to live, goods will still flow through warehouses, and data centers will only become more essential. And real estate can bring meaningful diversification benefits at a favorable valuation entry point: real estate values today remain 14% below their prior peak while most other asset classes are near all-time highs.[ 8 ] [ 9 ] Together, these dynamics have triggered meaningful capital rotation into the sector.[ 10 ]

We are seeing this firsthand in BREIT: June marked our fifth consecutive month of positive net flows, the second quarter of 2026 was BREIT’s first quarter of positive net flows in nearly four years, and our average ticket size has increased 18% year-over-year.[ 11 ] Institutional investors are also increasingly looking to private real estate, with allocations expected to rise at the fastest pace in over six years.[ 12 ] In the public markets, the U.S. REIT index is up +17.6% year-to-date and outperforming the S&P 500 by nearly 7.5% – the largest margin in the last 10 years.[ 13 ]

Real Estate Recovery Today

Scarce new supply and healthy capital markets are underpinning the ongoing recovery. On the supply side, new construction starts have fallen dramatically across most major sectors globally, and deliveries in BREIT’s key sectors of multifamily and industrial are near 12-year lows.[ 14 ] This has been driven by higher construction costs, which have risen 50% over the past six years.[ 15 ] As new construction becomes more costly, demand concentrates in existing assets, supporting rents and valuations.

Capital markets activity is reinforcing the recovery. The all-in cost of capital in the U.S. is down 35% from the 2023 peak despite base rate pressure.[ 16 ] At the same time, year-to-date U.S. CMBS issuance is up 23% year-over-year to the highest levels in nearly two decades.[ 17 ] Simply put, there is more debt capital available at lower cost which is leading to increased transaction activity. U.S. transaction volumes have increased 22% year-over-year and are now higher than pre-COVID levels.[ 18 ]

This favorable supply-demand dynamic, combined with a strong capital markets backdrop, underpins our conviction that now is the time to be invested in real estate.

Actively Managed, High Conviction Portfolio

Navigating an environment increasingly defined by geopolitical, macroeconomic, and AI-related uncertainty requires disciplined investing and focus on fundamental data. Blackstone Real Estate has navigated market cycles for 30+ years, and our high-conviction, thematic investment approach is rooted in real-time proprietary insights. As the world’s largest owner, buyer, and seller of commercial real estate, we believe we have unmatched visibility into market trends and the ability to deploy capital at scale.[ 19 ]

As active managers, we are relentlessly focused on ensuring your capital is invested behind our best ideas and BREIT’s portfolio reflects that commitment. Today, BREIT is ~90% concentrated in Blackstone Real Estate’s highest conviction sectors of rental housing, industrial, and data centers, and ~65% concentrated in fast-growing Sunbelt markets.[ 20 ]

Data Centers: Digitalization and the rapid growth of AI are reshaping the global economy, with data centers at the heart of this transformation. AI applications require enormous computing power, driving unprecedented demand. Hyperscaler capex has grown meaningfully to support this demand, from $92B in 2021 to nearly $800B today (8x increase), and these fast-growing companies are expected to invest $3T+ over the next five years.[ 21 ] Meanwhile, power availability, zoning constraints, and skilled labor shortages have created significant barriers to new supply.

Through QTS, the world’s largest and fastest-growing data center company, BREIT is uniquely positioned to benefit from one of the most powerful secular growth trends in real estate.[ 22 ] Since Blackstone and BREIT acquired QTS in 2021, we have grown the company ~16x and seen record leasing over the last twelve months.[ 23* ] QTS’s Q2 leasing is up +50% year-over-year, and BREIT deployed $5.7B into pre-leased data center developments in the first half of 2026, bringing total deployment to $9B over the last year.[ 24 ] We believe we are still early in the trajectory of this business: QTS has a $30B committed development pipeline today and owns a ~10,000-acre land bank that is largely entitled with access to power, which we believe positions BREIT to benefit from sustained growth well into the future.[ 25* ]

Industrial: BREIT’s portfolio of last-mile, infill warehouses near dense population centers is benefiting from strong, durable demand tailwinds. E-commerce demand continues to strengthen as online consumers increasingly prioritize fast delivery, with Amazon Prime same- and next-day deliveries up 30% year-over-year.[ 26 ] Looking ahead, AI-driven purchases are projected to reach $1T by 2030, adding another gear to e-commerce growth which we believe will translate into additional demand for warehouses. [ 27 ]

E-commerce has produced durable demand growth for warehouses.[ 28 ].But today, BREIT’s portfolio is also seeing a new demand catalyst emerge, as the U.S. reindustrialization boom takes hold. In the last 18 months, $10T+ private and foreign investment in U.S. reindustrialization has been announced, and the ongoing buildout of digital infrastructure has accelerated, with data center-adjacent tenants accounting for 15% of new leases signed across Blackstone’s logistics platform.[ 29 ] [ 30 ]

These powerful demand drivers, coupled with collapsing supply, are translating into accelerating fundamentals. Our year-to-date same-store leasing volume is up 35% year-over-year, and BREIT is signing leases at rents 44% above expiring levels. [ 31 ] [ 32 ] With new construction starts down 65%+ from their 2022 peak and 2026 market rents 13% above our in-place rents, we believe the sector is primed for strong cash flow growth as we look ahead.[ 14 ] [ 33 ]

Rental Housing: BREIT’s housing portfolio is strategically diversified across multifamily, student housing, single-family rental, and affordable housing. Our conviction is grounded in a simple reality: people need a place to live and there is not enough housing. The U.S. is building fewer homes today than in the 1960s despite the population having nearly doubled, resulting in a structural undersupply of 4-5M homes.[ 34 ] Meanwhile, renting remains ~30% more affordable than owning, reinforcing long-term demand and contributing to record tenant retention in our portfolio.[ 35 ]

Across each of these sectors, a common thread is clear: BREIT is investing behind durable, long-term megatrends. Whether it is the growing need for digital infrastructure, the critical role of logistics networks, or persistent undersupply of housing, these are powerful structural forces that will continue to shape how we live, work, and use real estate. Our focus remains on positioning your capital behind Blackstone Real Estate’s best ideas, and we are confident in BREIT’s ability to continue delivering long-term wealth creation, consistent income with potential tax benefits, and portfolio diversification.

We believe now is a terrific moment to be a BREIT stockholder, and we look forward to continuing BREIT’s strong momentum in the back half of the year. Thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership.

* In 2021, BREIT along with certain Blackstone-managed investment vehicles formed a joint venture and acquired all outstanding shares of common stock of QTS. QTS figures shown at 100% ownership. As of June 30, 2026, BREIT’s ownership in QTS was 35.4% and the QTS investment accounted for 26.1% of BREIT’s real estate asset value.

Represents BREIT Class I shares. “Accelerating returns” refers to increase in net returns for BREIT Class I shares in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026.  Monthly returns varied within this period. Returns shown reflect the percent change in the NAV per share from the beginning of the applicable period, plus the amount of any distribution per share declared in the period. All returns shown assume reinvestment of distributions pursuant to BREIT’s distribution reinvestment plan, are derived from unaudited financial information, and are net of all BREIT expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, performance participation allocation, and share class-specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year.

Publicly traded REITs reflect the MSCI U.S. REIT Index total return as of June 30, 2026. Private real estate reflects the preliminary NFI-ODCE net total return as of June 30, 2026. BREIT’s Class I inception date is January 1, 2017. During the period from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2026, BREIT’s Class I annualized total net returns of 9.4% was 36% higher than the MSCI U.S. REIT Index annualized total return of 6.9%. During the period from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2026, BREIT Class I’s annualized total return of 9.4% was 2.7x the preliminary NFI-ODCE annualized total net return of 3.5%. BREIT does not trade on a national securities exchange, and therefore, is generally illiquid.

See “Important Disclosure Information–Index Definitions”.
As of June 30, 2026. Represents Class I shares. Reflects the current month’s distribution annualized and divided by the prior month’s net asset value, which is inclusive of all fees and expenses. Annualized distribution rate for the other share classes: Legacy Class S: 3.8%; Class S-2: 3.8%; Legacy Class T: 3.8%; Class T-2: 3.8%; Legacy Class D: 4.5%; Class D-2: 4.5%. Class S-2, Class T-2 and Class D-2 shares were first sold on September 1, 2025. Distributions are not guaranteed and may be funded from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, borrowings, the sale of our assets, repayments of our real estate debt investments, return of capital or offering proceeds, and advances or the deferral of fees and expenses. We have no limits on the amounts we may fund from such sources. Our inception to date cash flows from operating activities, along with inception to date net gains from investment realizations, have funded 100% of our distributions through March 31, 2026. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Distributions” in BREIT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
7.3% tax-equivalent distribution rate assumes that the investment in BREIT shares is not sold or redeemed and reflects the pre-tax distribution rate an investor would need to receive from a theoretical investment to match the 4.6% after-tax distribution rate earned by a BREIT Class I stockholder based on BREIT’s 2025 ROC of 100%, if the distributions from the theoretical investment (i) were classified as ordinary income subject to tax at the top marginal tax rate of 37%, (ii) did not benefit from the 20% tax rate deduction and (iii) were not classified as ROC. The ordinary income tax rate could change in the future. Tax-equivalent distribution rate for the other share classes are as follows: Class S: 6.0%; Class S-2: 6.0%; Class T: 6.1%; Class T-2: 6.1%; Class D: 7.1% and Class D-2: 7.1%. The tax-equivalent distribution rate would be reduced by 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.4% 1.4% and 1.5% for Class S, S-2, T, T-2, D, D-2, and I shares, respectively, taking into account deferred capital gains tax that would be payable upon redemption. This assumes a one-year holding period and includes the impact of deferred capital gains tax incurred in connection with a redemption of BREIT shares. Upon redemption, an investor is assumed to be subject to tax on all prior return of capital distributions at the current maximum capital gains rate of 20%. The capital gains rate could change in the future. ROC distributions reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in the year the distribution is received, and generally defer taxes on that portion until the stockholder’s stock is sold via redemption. Upon redemption, the investor may be subject to higher capital gains taxes as a result of a lower cost basis due to the return of capital distributions. See “Important Disclosure Information–Tax Information” for more information.
ROC distributions reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in the year the distribution is received, and generally defer taxes on that portion until the stockholder’s stock is sold via redemption. Upon redemption, the investor may be subject to higher capital gains taxes as a result of a lower cost basis due to the ROC distributions. Certain non-cash deductions, such as depreciation and amortization, lower the taxable income for REIT distributions. BREIT’s ROC in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 was 92%, 94%, 85%, 96% and 100%, respectively.

“Property Sector” weighting is measured as the asset value of real estate investments for each sector category divided by the asset value of all of BREIT’s real estate investments, excluding the value of any third-party interests in such real estate investments. Rental Housing includes the following subsectors: multifamily (18%), student housing (8%), affordable housing (8%), single family rental housing (7%) and other rental housing (represents manufactured housing (1%)). Please see the prospectus for more information on BREIT’s investments. Sunbelt refers to ~65% concentration in the South and West regions of the U.S. as defined by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (“NCREIF”). “Region Concentration” represents regions as defined by NCREIF and the weighting is measured as the asset value of real estate properties for each regional category divided by the asset value of all of BREIT’s real estate properties, excluding the value of any third-party interests in such real estate properties. “Non-U.S.” reflects investments in Europe and Canada.

Represents the estimated embedded growth potential between BREIT’s in place industrial portfolio rents and achievable market rents. See “Important Disclosure Information—Embedded Growth”. This is not a measure, or indicative, of overall portfolio performance or returns. Certain individual BREIT property sectors may have lower embedded rent growth potential, including rental housing, which accounts for 42% of BREIT’s real estate asset value as of June 30, 2026, and has an average 3% embedded rent growth potential as of June 30, 2026. BREIT’s portfolio has a 5.8-year weighted average lease length. Reflects real estate properties only, including unconsolidated properties, and does not include real estate debt investments. For more information on BREIT’s property sectors and a complete list of BREIT’s real estate investments (excluding equity in public and private real estate-related companies), visit www.breit.com/properties. Embedded rent growth will not directly correlate with increased performance or returns and is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute forecasts. There can be no assurance that any such results will actually be achieved. A number of factors, including operating expenses as described in BREIT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2026, will impact BREIT’s net performance or returns. Any expectations that in-place rents have the potential to increase are based on certain assumptions that may not be correct and on certain variables that may change.
Brookings Institute, as of November 2024. Reflects the cumulative shortfall for total residential units (owned and rented) from 2006–2023.
Blackstone Proprietary Data as of June 30, 2026. Represents the difference between monthly cost of ownership (including mortgage payments, taxes, maintenance costs, insurance, and HOA fees) and monthly rents for HPA and Tricon portfolios. Cost of ownership assumes 3.5% down payment; 6.8% FHA 30-yr. fixed rate mortgage (including 0.5%mortgage insurance); 3.5% amortized loan closing costs; 1% maintenance costs; insurance, HOA, and Real Estate Taxes.
Total asset value is measured as (i) the asset value of real estate investments (based on fair value), excluding any third party interests in such real estate investments, plus (ii) the equity in our real estate debt investments measured at fair value (defined as the asset value of our real estate debt investments less the financing on such investments), but excluding any other assets (such as cash or any other cash equivalents). The total asset value would be higher if such amounts were included and the value of our real estate debt investments was not decreased by the financing on such investments.
Number of properties reflects real estate investments only, including unconsolidated properties, and does not include real estate debt investments. Single family rental homes are not reflected in the number of properties.
Occupancy is an important real estate metric because it measures the utilization of properties in the portfolio. Occupancy is weighted by the total value of all consolidated real estate properties, excluding our hospitality investments, and any third-party interests in such properties. For our industrial, net lease, data centers, office and retail investments, occupancy includes all leased square footage as of the date indicated. For our multifamily, student housing and affordable housing investments, occupancy is defined as the percentage of actual rent divided by gross potential rent (defined as actual rent for occupied units and market rent for vacant units) for the three months ended on the date indicated. For our single family rental housing investments, the occupancy rate includes occupied homes for the month ended on the date indicated. For our self storage and manufactured housing investments, the occupancy rate includes occupied square footage, occupied sites and occupied units, respectively, as of the date indicated. The average occupancy rate for our hospitality investments was 72% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026 and includes paid occupied rooms. Hospitality investments owned less than 12 months are excluded from the average occupancy rate calculation. Unconsolidated investments are excluded from occupancy rate calculations.
Our leverage ratio is measured by dividing (i) consolidated property-level and entity-level debt net of cash and loan-related restricted cash, by (ii) the asset value of real estate investments (measured using the greater of fair market value and cost) plus the equity in our settled real estate debt investments. Indebtedness incurred (i) in connection with funding a deposit in advance of the closing of an investment or (ii) as other working capital advances will not be included as part of the calculation above. The leverage ratio would be higher if the indebtedness on our real estate debt investments and the pro rata share of debt within our unconsolidated investments were taken into account. The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and may increase the exposure of the investments to adverse economic factors.
The percentage of fixed-rate financing is measured by dividing (i) the sum of our consolidated fixed-rate debt, secured financings on investments in real estate debt, and the outstanding notional principal amount of corporate and consolidated interest rate swaps, by (ii) total consolidated debt outstanding inclusive of secured financings on investments in real estate debt.
Investment allocation is measured as the asset value of each investment category (real estate investments or real estate debt investments) divided by the total asset value of all investment categories, excluding the value of any third party interests in such assets.
