File Nos. 333-235443 and 811-23499

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Goldman Sachs Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (the “Registrant”), a Delaware statutory trust, in connection with the initial filing of, and each amendment to, the Registrant’s registration statement on Form N-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the issuance and sale by the Registrant of its authorized shares (“Shares”), divided into several classes (each, a “Class”). We have examined such governmental and corporate certificates and records as we deemed necessary to render this opinion, and we are familiar with the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares of each Class have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms, conditions, requirements and procedures described in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued and, subject to the qualifications set forth in the Declaration of Trust, fully paid and non-assessable beneficial interests in such Class. In this regard, we note that, pursuant to Section 4.5 of Article IV of the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have the power to cause each Shareholder, or each Shareholder of any particular Class, to pay directly, in advance or arrears, for charges of the Registrant’s custodian or transfer, shareholder servicing or similar agent, an amount fixed from time to time by the Trustees, by setting off such charges due from such Shareholder from declared but unpaid dividends or distributions owed such Shareholder and/or by reducing the number of Shares in the account of such Shareholder by that number of full and/or fractional Shares which represents the outstanding amount of such charges due from such Shareholder.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement, unless and until we revoke such consent. In giving such consent, however, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Dechert LLP
