H&R REIT says it is restarting discussions with Blackstone, a U.S. investment fund manager, regarding a potential sale of certain assets. In a release, the company states it has had preliminary, non-exclusive discussions with Blackstone, indicating the talks are early-stage and not yet tied to a definitive transaction. The company’s disclosure frames the discussions as limited in scope and subject to further review, including continuing negotiations and any required approvals. The reports from both outlets describe the same development: H&R REIT reopening talks with Blackstone and discussing the possible sale of specific assets rather than a full company sale. At this stage, neither outlet reports that an agreement has been reached or that a transaction is imminent. The information is presented as part of an ongoing process in which H&R REIT evaluates strategic options, with Blackstone among the parties it is discussing.
