Why we checked itSpecific claim about Blackstone's real estate holdings in New Hampshire, made to rebut an opponent's assertion about Blackstone causing housing issues. If wrong, it materially misleads voters about the scale of Blackstone's presence in the state.
What we foundThe Union Leader and reporting on Durham housing confirm that Blackstone owns the Royal Crest Estates complex in Nashua and the Cottages of Durham student housing. The Union Leader also found a Lebanon student-housing property tied to Blackstone through its stake in Greystar, which the claim doesn't mention.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: both holdings she named, in Nashua and Durham, are confirmed. The rating marked the claim down for leaving out a third property tied to Blackstone through a stake in another landlord, which the claim did not address. The evidence is unchanged; the summary was rewritten to match.
