Private Placement Adds $12.3M to BREIT’s Capital Pool
Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (BREIT) raised $12.3 million through a private share sale on January 2, 2026. The transaction, part of BREIT’s ongoing private offering program, involved 874,792 Class S-2 shares issued to accredited investors.
This offering wasn’t registered with public exchanges. Instead, Blackstone used a common exemption under Regulation D of the Securities Act—keeping the process efficient and focused on qualified buyers. Shares were priced based on net asset value as of November 30, 2025, with upfront selling commissions included. Roughly $50,600 of the total went to participating broker-dealers through those commissions.
BREIT continues to raise capital for its income-focused real estate strategy, which centers on a portfolio of residential, industrial, and hospitality assets. This latest sale adds to the pool of capital the firm can put to work in that portfolio.
Focused Capital Raising Strategy
By operating through private channels, Blackstone maintains flexibility in how and when it raises funds. The focus remains on institutions and individuals who meet accredited investor standards—groups that are typically looking for access to real estate-backed investments with steady income potential.
The structure of the transaction also highlights Blackstone’s use of distribution networks. All selling commissions were either retained by or reallowed to the broker-dealers who helped place the shares. This channel-based approach ensures that capital continues to flow efficiently into the fund.
For investors participating in BREIT’s private offerings, this deal is another signal that Blackstone is maintaining momentum in its fundraising cycle, even outside traditional public markets. As the real estate environment shifts, BREIT is positioned to act—backed by fresh capital and a strategy built for income generation.
