History and Development

Founded in 1985, Blackstone began as an advisory firm focused on mergers and acquisitions before expanding into private equity.

During the 1990s, the firm established a major presence in global real estate investing and broadened its international footprint.

The company completed its public listing in 2007, significantly increasing access to capital and expanding its global operations.

In recent years, Blackstone has increased its exposure to private credit, infrastructure, technology-driven assets, and logistics properties, while expanding its investment offerings to a broader institutional and retail investor base.
