Dear BREIT Stockholder,

Earlier this fall, we shared an update that Katie Keenan has been appointed to succeed our beloved colleague, the late Wesley LePatner, as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of BREIT, and Global Head of Core+ Real Estate at Blackstone. Katie is a long-tenured Blackstone executive who has held numerous leadership positions since joining the firm in 2012, most recently as Global Co-Chief Investment Officer of Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies and Chief Executive Officer of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, a NYSE-listed publicly-traded commercial mortgage REIT. We are confident that BREIT and our investors will benefit from Katie’s strong leadership and expertise, and that she will help us carry forward Wesley’s legacy.


Momentum building for BREIT

BREIT’s performance continued to accelerate in the third quarter, delivering a +1.65% net return (Class I), and year-to-date performance through October up +5.6%, with ten consecutive months of positive performance. [ 1 ] Since inception nearly nine years ago, BREIT has generated a +9.2% annualized net return (Class I), which is 60% higher than publicly traded REITs and ~3x private real estate. [ 1 ][ 2 ] In 2024, 96% of BREIT’s distribution was classified as return of capital, bringing our 4.8% pre-tax Class I distribution rate to 7.5% on a tax-equivalent basis, and we expect BREIT’s 2025 return of capital to remain in line with this level. [ 3 ][ 4 ]* We believe these compelling distributions as well as sustained positive performance is strengthening investor sentiment, with repurchase requests down 96% from their peak and net flows approaching positive. [ 5 ]

BREIT’s strong performance reflects the quality and resilience of its portfolio, which we believe is positioned to capture meaningful upside as the real estate recovery unfolds. With values having reset, commercial real estate stands out as a unique and compelling opportunity – especially compared to equities and fixed income, which have rallied 95% and 37% in recent years and now hover near peak levels. [ 6 ] We believe BREIT is strategically positioned to capitalize on this opportunity and deliver attractive returns for investors.


Continued strength from data centers

Data centers have been the leading driver of BREIT’s recent performance, and we expect them to remain a powerful growth engine in the years ahead. In the third quarter alone, BREIT deployed $1.2B into data center development, bringing 2025 year-to-date investment in data centers to $3.7B. [ 7 ] Blackstone’s data center platform, QTS, has grown into the largest and fastest growing data center company in the world, with leased capacity up 12x and its development land bank up 6x since acquisition. [ 8 ][ 9 ]** As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be integrated into the global economy and our daily lives, we see this momentum showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, QTS’ leasing pipeline doubled in just the last quarter and the largest hyperscalers are projected to spend $415B on digital infrastructure this year, up 75% from 2024. [ 10 ][ 11 ]

We believe that investing in data centers, the “picks and shovels” of the AI revolution, is one of the safest and most strategic ways to capitalize on this transformative megatrend. Within this sector, BREIT has focused primarily on data center development, generally the most profitable part of the data center lifecycle, while maintaining a disciplined, risk‑mitigated approach. Importantly, we’ve avoided speculative development given QTS’ $25B+ development pipeline is fully pre-leased to large, global technology companies. [ 12 ]** Additionally, QTS’ leases are 15-20 years in duration, with contractual rent escalators providing stable, long-term potential cash flows. QTS has a 4,000-acre land bank in key data center markets, with most sites already having secured access to power. [ 13 ] This land bank can support an additional $80B of future development, strengthening our ability to meet demand efficiently. [ 14 ]** As new entrants continue to emerge, we believe our scale, strategic positioning and operational track record mitigate downside risk and strengthen our competitive advantage.


Healthy real estate fundamentals across BREIT’s portfolio

We are seeing a dramatic decline in new supply across virtually every real estate sector globally. In fact, new construction starts in BREIT’s key sectors are down two-thirds from 2022 levels to over 10-year lows. [ 15 ] This pullback is the #1 reason we are bullish on real estate today as lower supply should eventually lead to stronger rent growth and higher values, and we are just beginning to see this reflected in fundamentals. At the same time, capital markets are wide open, with the overall cost of debt capital having declined ~10% from 2024 and ~40% from the peak in 2023. [ 16 ] CMBS issuance volume tripled between 2023 and 2024, and YTD 2025 issuance has surpassed the recent peak in 2021. [ 17 ] We are seeing this improvement across capital markets translate into more bidders and greater transaction activity, and we expect this momentum to continue as interest rates move lower.

Against this backdrop, we believe BREIT remains exceptionally well-positioned. BREIT is ~90% concentrated in our highest conviction sectors of rental housing, industrial and data centers, and 65% concentrated in fast-growing Sunbelt markets, which benefit from higher population, job and wage growth compared to the rest of the country. [ 18 ] Rental housing, which represents nearly half of BREIT’s portfolio, is strategically diversified across multifamily, single family, student and affordable housing, and designed to deliver sustained performance through market cycles. This positioning has been critical in recent years, as our overall rental housing performance has been resilient amid elevated supply across Sunbelt multifamily. Fortunately, BREIT’s markets are now past peak deliveries and we believe are poised to reaccelerate as we look ahead. [ 19 ]

BREIT’s second largest sector, industrial, remains on solid footing. Our focus on last-mile infill locations near dense population centers positions us to capture accelerating demand for faster delivery times and our concentration in Midwest and Sunbelt markets benefits from a surge in U.S reindustrialization, with roughly $800B of new projects announced since 2021. [ 20] This trend is driving spillover demand for warehouses across these key markets, and with market rents approximately 18% above BREIT’s in-place rents, we see meaningful embedded growth potential ahead. [ 21 ]


Improving macro backdrop

With both long and short-term interest rates declining, real estate’s biggest headwind in recent years is becoming a tailwind. The 10-year US Treasury yield has declined roughly 90bps from its October 2023 peak, creating a more supportive backdrop for valuations and investment activity in real estate. [ 22 ] Should interest rates continue to move lower in a meaningful and sustained way, it would be a very powerful catalyst for increasing real estate values.

As we look to the final stretch of 2025, our conviction in BREIT’s portfolio has never been stronger. New supply is contracting, capital markets are active and we believe BREIT is well-positioned to capitalize on these favorable dynamics. Central to BREIT’s strength is QTS, a powerful performance engine at the center of the AI revolution. More broadly, we are encouraged that even as AI reshapes industries, the need for core real estate remains intact: people will still need places to live, warehouses will still be essential to support e-commerce growth, and data centers are increasingly critical to the global economy.

Thank you for your trust, partnership and continued support.

Represents BREIT Class I shares. Please see page 5 for Q3’25, YTD, 1-Year, 3-Year and Inception to date (“ITD”) net returns. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized consistent with the IPA Practice Guideline 2018. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. January 1, 2017 reflects BREIT Class I’s inception date. 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. Past performance does not predict future returns. Class D shares, Class S shares and Class T shares were offered in BREIT’s primary offering but are currently only available to existing holders of such classes pursuant to BREIT’s distribution reinvestment plan. Class D-2 shares, Class S-2 shares, Class T-2 shares and Class I shares may be purchased in BREIT’s primary offering and through BREIT’s distribution reinvestment plan. The inception dates for the Class I, D, S and T shares are January 1, 2017, May 1, 2017, January 1, 2017 and June 1, 2017, respectively. The inception date for Class D-2, S-2 and T-2 shares is September 1, 2025. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in BREIT’s portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BREIT’s NAV. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated. As return information is calculated based on NAV, return information presented will be impacted should the assumptions on which NAV was determined prove to be incorrect. Returns listed as (with sales load) assume payment of the full upfront sales charge at initial subscription (1.5% for Class D and D-2 shares; 3.5% for Class S and S-2 and Class T and T-2 shares). The sales charge for Class D shares became effective May 1, 2018. The sales charge for Class D-2, S-2 and T-2 shares became effective September 1, 2025. Returns listed as (no sales load) exclude up-front selling commissions and dealer manager fees. BREIT no longer offers Class D, S, and T shares in its primary offering, and instead offers Class D-2, S-2 and T-2 shares in its primary offering. Due to the short duration since inception, ITD returns for the -2 classes are not yet meaningful. Please see performance information for Class S, T and D shares for additional information. Please see www.breit.com/performance for information on BREIT returns. See “Important Disclosure Information – Use of Leverage”.
Publicly traded REITs reflect the MSCI US REIT Index total return as of September 30, 2025. BREIT’s Class I inception date is January 1, 2017. Private real estate reflects the net total return as of September 30, 2025. During the period from January 1, 2017 to September 30, 2025, BREIT Class I’s annualized total net return of 9.2% was 2.6x the NFI-ODCE annualized total net return of 3.5% and 60% higher than the MSCI US REIT Index annualized total return of 5.8%. Private real estate reflects the NFI-ODCE index, which reflects total returns of various private real estate funds and should not be considered reflective of the performance of BREIT. BREIT does not trade on a national securities exchange, and therefore, is generally illiquid. The volatility and risk profile of the indices presented are likely to be materially different from that of BREIT including that BREIT’s fees and expenses may be higher and BREIT shares are significantly less liquid than publicly traded REITs. See “Important Disclosure Information – Index Definitions”.
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: Class D: 4.6%, Class D-2: 4.6%, Class S: 3.9%, Class S-2: 3.9%, Class T: 4.0% and Class T-2: 4.0%. Class D-2, Class S-2 and Class T-2 shares were first sold on September 1, 2025 and the annualized distribution rate reflects the current month’s distribution for such share class annualized and divided by the net asset value of Class D, Class S and Class T shares as of the prior month. 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, ROC 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 September 30, 2025. 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. A portion of REIT ordinary income distributions may be tax deferred given the ability to characterize ordinary income as ROC. 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 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 was 66%, 97%, 90%, 100%, 92%, 94%, 85% and 96%, respectively. See “Important Disclosure Information – Tax Information”.
7.5% 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 4.7% after-tax distribution rate earned by a BREIT Class I stockholder based on BREIT’s 2024 return of capital (“ROC”) of 96%, 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 D: 7.3%; Class D-2: 7.3%; Class S: 6.2%; Class S-2: 6.2%; Class T: 6.3%; and Class T-2: 6.3%. The tax-equivalent distribution rate would be reduced by 1.5%, 1.4%, 1.4%, 1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2% and 1.2% for Class I, D, D-2. S, S-2, T and T-2 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.

BREIT’s industrial portfolio has a 3.4-year weighted average lease length. Reflects real estate properties only, including unconsolidated properties, and does not include real estate debt investments.

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 November 7, 2025, 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.

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. “Real estate investments” include wholly-owned property investments, BREIT’s share of property investments held through joint ventures and equity in public and private real estate related companies. “Real estate debt investments” include BREIT’s investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans and other debt secured by real estate and real estate related assets, as described in BREIT’s prospectus. The Consolidated GAAP Balance Sheet included in our annual and interim financial statements reflects the loan collateral underlying certain of our real estate debt investments on a gross basis. These amounts are excluded from our real estate debt investments as they do not reflect our economic interest in such assets.
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, manufactured housing and senior living 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 twelve months ended September 30, 2025 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.
Percentage 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.
