San Diego, California, United States

Blackstone Real Estate Partners X completed the $4 billion acquisition of Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (ROIC), a leading REIT specializing in grocery-anchored shopping centers across the West Coast, in February 2025. The portfolio comprises 93 high-quality retail properties totaling approximately 10.5 million square feet in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland. These centers are strategically located in densely populated, high-income neighborhoods, providing essential retail services and stable foot traffic. Following the acquisition, ROIC was privatized, reinforcing Blackstone's position in necessity-based retail assets with strong market fundamentals.
