Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (the Company) entered into a purchase agreement on December 19, 2017 to acquire 146 industrial properties with an aggregate of 22 million square feet (the Portfolio) from Cabot Industrial Value Fund IV, L.P. and Cabot Industrial Value Fund IV Manager, Limited Partnership, each a third-party (collectively, the Seller). On March 9, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of fee simple interests in the Portfolio from the Seller for a purchase price of approximately $1.8 billion, excluding closing costs.
The acquisition of the Portfolio was funded through a combination of a $1.1 billion mortgage secured by the Portfolio, a $200 million mezzanine loan secured by equity interests in the Portfolio and available cash. Certain terms of the mortgage loan and mezzanine loan are described in the table below.
