September 19, 2025 - 18:34
Katie Keenan, a seasoned executive with 13 years of experience at Blackstone, is stepping into a pivotal role as the head of BREIT, the firm's $105 billion real estate fund aimed at affluent investors. This transition comes in the wake of the tragic passing of Wesley LePatner, who previously led the fund.
Keenan's extensive background within Blackstone equips her with the knowledge and expertise necessary to navigate the complexities of the real estate market. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to ensure stability and continuity for BREIT during a challenging time.
As the new leader, Keenan will be responsible for overseeing investment strategies and managing the fund's portfolio, which includes a diverse range of properties. Her leadership is expected to drive the fund's growth and adapt to the evolving landscape of real estate investment. The industry looks forward to seeing how Keenan will shape the future of BREIT and steer it towards continued success.
