BLACKSTONE REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.
SUPPLEMENT NO. 7 DATED FEBRUARY 14, 2022
TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 12, 2021
This prospectus supplement (“Supplement”) is part of and should be read in conjunction with the prospectus of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., dated February 12, 2021 (as supplemented to date, the “Prospectus”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Supplement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus. References herein to the "Company," "BREIT," "we," "us," or "our" refer to Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.
The purposes of this Supplement are as follows:
•to provide an update to BREIT’s portfolio;
•to disclose the transaction price for each class of our common stock as of March 1, 2022;
•to disclose the calculation of our January 31, 2022 NAV per share for all share classes; and
•to provide an update on the status of our current public offering (the “Offering”).
Portfolio Update
For the month ended January 31, 2022, BREIT’s Class S NAV per share increased $0.23, from $14.30 as of December 31, 2021 to $14.53 as of January 31, 2022, reflecting broad-based increases in asset values, particularly among our residential and industrial properties.1
BREIT’s portfolio is thematically oriented toward sectors and markets where we see opportunities for outsized growth and, as a result, we continue to believe BREIT is well-positioned in the current environment. As of January 31, 2022, approximately 80% of BREIT’s portfolio is concentrated in residential and industrial, two of the best performing sectors where rents are growing 2-3x faster than inflation.2 In addition, these sectors typically have shorter duration leases, with a 2-year weighted average lease length for BREIT’s residential and industrial assets.3 We believe there is embedded growth potential within our real estate portfolio given a significant portion of BREIT’s rents are currently below market.
For more information on our Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines, please refer to page 183 of the Prospectus.

January 31, 2022 NAV per Share
We calculate NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our board of directors. Our NAV per share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.breit.com and is made available on our toll-free, automated telephone line at (844) 702-1299. Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the Prospectus for how our NAV is determined. The Adviser is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV. All our property investments are appraised annually by third party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation guidelines and such appraisals are reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. Transactions or events have occurred since January 31, 2022 that could have a material impact on our NAV per share, upon which our transaction price is based.

(1)Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class S, Class T and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class S, Class T and Class D shares. As of January 31, 2022, the Company has accrued under GAAP $1.3 billion of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class S, Class T and Class D shares sold. The Dealer Manager does not retain any of these fees, all of which are retained by, or re-allowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.
