The scale is almost scary. They bought a logistics portfolio in my region and efficiency went up immediately, but the personal touch is gone. It feels like every decision is made by an algorithm in New York. Great for the bottom line, though.

They’re basically the smart money in the room. I keep seeing them pivot toward data centers and AI infrastructure, and it’s paying off. If you’re an institutional partner, their data accessibility is just on another level compared to the legacy firms.

Blackstone was excellent. Their staff was responsive, helpful, and made the process smooth.

Values have reset in 2026, and Blackstone was the first to start buying again. They have this 'deal dam' mentality where they wait for the perfect moment. It’s impressive to watch them move an entire market just by entering it.

Solid returns, but they're definitely aggressive. They push for max rent growth every single year. From an investment standpoint, you love it; as a tenant in one of their industrial parks, it's a tough pill to swallow.
