This Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1) to Schedule 13D relates to the Class I common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class I Shares), of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the Issuer), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 22, 2018 (collectively, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) (b) Calculations of the percentage of Class I Shares beneficially owned assumes that there were 66,781,633 Class I Shares outstanding as of June 28, 2018, based on information provided by the Issuer, and takes into account the 855,040 Class I Units owned by the Special Limited Partner, as applicable. Pursuant to the terms of the BREIT OP LPA, Class I Units are exchangeable for Class I Shares on a one-for-one basis, or cash, at the Issuers election.

As of June 29, 2018, the Adviser directly held 2,071,520 Class I Shares, and the Special Limited Partner directly held 855,040 Class I Units.

Blackstone Holdings I L.P. is the sole member of the Adviser. Blackstone Holdings I/II GP Inc. is the general partner of Blackstone Holdings I L.P. Blackstone Holdings III L.P. is the general partner of the Special Limited Partner. Blackstone Holdings III GP L.P. is the general partner of Blackstone Holdings III L.P. Blackstone Holdings III GP Management L.L.C. is the general partner of Blackstone Holdings III GP L.P. The Blackstone Group L.P. is the sole member of Blackstone Holdings III GP Management L.L.C. and the sole shareholder of Blackstone Holdings I/II GP Inc. Blackstone Group Management L.L.C. is the general partner of The Blackstone Group L.P. Blackstone Group Management L.L.C. is wholly owned by its senior managing directors and controlled by its founder, Stephen A. Schwarzman.

The aggregate number and percentage of the Class I Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons (other than the Adviser and the Special Limited Partner to the extent they directly hold the Issuer securities reported on this Schedule 13D) is the beneficial owner of the Class I Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. The filing of this statement should not be construed to be an admission that any member of the Reporting Persons are members of a group for the purposes of Sections 13(d) of the Act.

(c) Except as set forth below, none of the Reporting Persons has engaged in any transaction in Class I Shares since the filing of the initial Schedule 13D on May 22, 2018.

On June 29, 2018, BREIT OP redeemed 783,889 Class I Units from the Special Limited Partner at a price of $10.7158 per unit.

As payment of its management fee under the terms of the Advisory Agreement (as discussed further below), on June 15, 2018, the Issuer determined that the Adviser received 288,366 Class I Shares effective as of June 1, 2018.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no one other than the Reporting Persons, or the partners, members, affiliates or shareholders of the Reporting Persons, has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class I Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) As of June 29, 2018, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding Class I Shares. Blackstone and its employees, including the Issuers executive officers, continue to own approximately $54.0 million of interests in the Issuer and its subsidiaries as of June 29, 2018. The immediately preceding sentence is for informational purposes only and the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that they are a member of a group with any such Blackstone employee for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or otherwise.


SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
