Current report
We consider premier workplaces to be well-located buildings that are modern structures or have been modernized to compete with newer buildings, are professionally managed and maintained, and offer a number and type of amenities that are in high demand by clients that are focused on the importance of the physical work environment in recruiting and retaining the best and brightest employees. As such, these properties attract creditworthy clients and command upper-tier rental rates in their markets. We do not consider the expression “premier workplaces” a classification of our properties in accordance with any standard listing criteria in the real estate industry. We therefore caution investors that our use and definition of “premier workplaces” may be different than the use and definition of similar expressions and traditional classifications that may be used by other companies.
Current report
We believe the most important market forces driving occupancy, rental rates and earnings for BXP are interest rates, corporate earnings growth, return-to-office behaviors, and outperformance of premier workplaces, all of which are currently trending in BXP’s favor, serving as tailwinds for BXP’s performance.
Current report
In particular, corporate earnings growth is an important driver for BXP’s performance given its correlation to leasing activity. After remaining flat for all of 2023, S&P 500 earnings, which are viewed as a proxy for corporate health, are expected to grow 9.9% in 2024. Our experience tells us that companies with earnings growth are much more likely to invest, hire and expand their leased space, as demonstrated in BXP’s growing leasing volumes this year. We do not currently see evidence of a looming recession in the decision-making of our clients.
Current report
Return-to-office behaviors continue to improve in the cities in which we operate. Several large companies have recently announced more stringent in-office work requirements for their employees, and 84% of the CEOs surveyed in a recent third-party study believe there will be a full return-to-office work at their companies within three years, up from 64% of those surveyed just one year ago. The reasons cited by the CEOs include concerns about diminished collaboration, innovation and productivity, inadequate supervision and training for younger employees, and the cost of maintaining vacant offices.
Current report
In the third quarter of 2024, we executed 74 leases totaling more than 1.1 million square feet with a weighted-average lease term of approximately 7.2 years. We signed leases for a total of approximately 3.3 million square feet in the first three quarters of 2024, representing a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2023.

•On August 26, 2024, BPLP completed a public offering of $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% unsecured senior notes due 2035. The notes were priced at 99.961% of the principal amount to yield an effective rate (including financing fees) of approximately 5.842% per annum to maturity. The notes will mature on January 15, 2035, unless earlier redeemed. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering were approximately $841.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and transaction expenses.
Current report
•On September 27, 2024, BPLP entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “2024 Unsecured Term Loan”) with a lender (the “Lender”) under the mortgage loan collateralized by our Santa Monica Business Park properties located in Santa Monica, California (the “SMBP Loan”). Upon entry into the credit agreement, BPLP exercised its option to draw $100.0 million under the 2024 Unsecured Term Loan. The proceeds were used to repay the portion of the SMBP Loan held by the Lender. After the repayment, the SMBP Loan had a remaining principal balance of $200.0 million. The 2024 Unsecured Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, matures on September 26, 2025 with three, one-year extension options, subject to customary conditions (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The interest rate is subject to an existing interest rate swap to fix Daily Simple SOFR at a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.688% per annum for a period that ends on April 1, 2025.

The SMBP Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $200.0 million, bore interest at a variable rate equal to Daily Simple SOFR + 1.38% per annum and was scheduled to mature on July 19, 2025 (See “Debt Activities” above). The modified loan is scheduled to mature on October 8, 2028 and continues to bear interest at a variable rate equal to Daily Simple SOFR + 1.38% per annum until July 19, 2025. Beginning July 19, 2025, the mortgage loan will bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR + 1.60% per annum through the maturity date. The entire principal is subject to interest rate swap contracts to fix Daily Simple SOFR at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of approximately 2.675% per annum through April 1, 2025 (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The mortgage loan requires monthly interest-only payments during the term of the loan, with the entire principal due at maturity. Santa Monica Business Park is an office park consisting of 21 buildings totaling approximately 1.2 million net rentable square feet.

Gains on Sales of Real Estate
Current report
The $0.5 million gains on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were related to the sale of real estate occurring in prior periods.
Current report
Gains on sales of real estate may differ between BXP and BPLP as a result of previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor OP Unit redemptions by BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets at BXP that was allocated to certain properties. The difference between the real estate assets of BXP as compared to BPLP for certain properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up will result in a corresponding difference in the gains on sales of real estate when those properties are sold. For additional information, see the Explanatory Note that immediately follows the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous report
We continue to experience market tailwinds from the two most important external forces impacting BXP’s performance: interest rates and corporate earnings growth. The U.S. inflation report released on July 11, 2024 reflected a 3% inflation rate for the 12 months ending in June 2024, which was lower than expected. This report sparked new forecasts of accelerated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve as well as lower market yields for the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note. Lower interest rates are favorable for real estate and BXP’s valuation, as well as broader corporate earnings growth, which is the second important external factor driving BXP’s performance. After remaining flat for all of 2023, S&P 500 earnings growth was 6.6% in the first quarter of 2024 and is expected to be approximately 9% for the second quarter. In our experience, companies with earnings growth are much more likely to invest, hire and lease additional space, which is consistent with our growing leasing volumes this year.
Previous report
We are also experiencing moderate but steady increases in workers returning to the office based on the turnstile data we capture for roughly half of our portfolio. Corporations continue to push for increased office attendance, including a large technology company that recently announced its policy shift from primarily remote work to mandatory office attendance of three to five days per week depending on job function.
Previous report
Although remote work continues to be a factor restraining demand for office space, we believe economic conditions are the primary driver of leasing activity. As overall earnings growth for our clients and potential clients improves, it should lead to employment growth and demand for office space over time. We expect our leasing, construction and property management teams will continue to lean on our operating prowess to gain new clients and market share as clients choose premier workplaces that are in sound financial condition for their office space, which will increase our occupancy over time.
Previous report
In the second quarter of 2024, we executed 73 leases totaling over 1.3 million square feet with a weighted-average lease term of approximately 9.0 years. The approximately 1.3 million square feet of leasing represents a 41% increase from the second quarter of 2023 and 93% of our 10-year leasing average for the second quarter.
Previous report
In the second quarter of 2024, we completed and fully placed in-service 760 Boylston Street, an approximately 118,000 net rentable square feet retail redevelopment located in Boston, Massachusetts. The property is 100% leased to DICK’S Sporting Goods’ Boston House of Sport.

Lease activity
Previous report
•We have a ground lease for the land underlying our residential property, The Skylyne, in Oakland, California. The Skylyne is a residential property consisting of 402 residential units and supporting retail space totaling approximately 331,000 net rentable square feet. The ground lease has approximately 92-years remaining (including extension options) and provides us with the right to purchase the land subject to certain conditions. When the lease was executed in 2017, the purchase option was considered a bargain purchase option and, as a result, we classified it as a finance lease and we assumed the lessor would exercise its right to require us to purchase the land in May 2024 for approximately $38.7 million. In May 2024 and as of the date of this report, the lessor has not exercised this option and we reassessed the accounting for the ground lease and determined that the purchase option continues to be considered a bargain purchase option and the ground lease will continue to be accounted for as a finance lease. The lease requires monthly base rental payments of a nominal amount until the purchase occurs, which we now estimate will be in 2030. As a result of the reassessment, the lease liability was remeasured and reduced to approximately $0.1 million. In conjunction with the reduction in the lease liability, the right of use asset was reduced to $0 and the difference between the lease liability and right of use asset of approximately $9.5 million was recorded as a decrease to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

BXP is one of the largest publicly traded office real estate investment trusts (REITs) (based on total market capitalization as of June 30, 2024) in the U.S. that develops, owns, and manages primarily premier workplaces. Our properties are concentrated in six dynamic gateway markets in the U.S. - Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC. BPLP is the entity through which BXP conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. We generate revenue and cash primarily by leasing premier workplaces to our clients. When making leasing decisions, we consider, among other things, the creditworthiness of the client and the industry in which it conducts business, the length of the lease, the rental rate to be paid at inception and throughout the lease term, the amount of any security deposit or letter of credit posted by the client, the costs of tenant improvements, free rent periods and other landlord concessions, anticipated operating expenses and real estate taxes, current and anticipated vacancy in our properties and the market overall (including sublease space), current and expected future demand for the space, the impact of other clients’ expansion rights and general economic factors.

BPLP is the entity through which BXP conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. We generate revenue and cash primarily by leasing premier workplaces to our clients. When making leasing decisions, we consider, among other things, the creditworthiness of the client and the industry in which it conducts business, the length of the lease, the rental rate to be paid at inception and throughout the lease term, the amount of any security deposit or letter of credit posted by the client, the costs of tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods and other landlord concessions, anticipated operating expenses and real estate taxes, current and anticipated vacancy in our properties and the market overall (including sublease space), current and expected future demand for the space, the impact of other clients’ expansion rights and general economic factors.

We believe our key competitive advantages are our commitment to the office asset class and to our clients as many competitors disinvest in the sector, a strong balance sheet with access to capital in the secured and unsecured debt and private equity markets, and one of the highest quality portfolios of premier workplaces in the U.S. assembled over several decades of intentional development, acquisitions and dispositions. Today, clients and their advisors are more focused than ever on these attributes for their building owners, which distinguishes BXP among its competitors.

This strategy is more valuable than ever as our clients are interested in premier workplaces in vibrant, amenitized, accessible and high-demand workplaces to encourage more in-person work. This interest has resulted in the acceleration of flight to quality in the office industry. Over the past several years, BXP’s experience and performance has diverged from the larger market and media sentiment, as premier workplaces have outperformed the broader office market consistently and substantially. We believe this divergence validates our strategy and differentiates BXP from other office companies. Although overall leasing demand has still not returned to pre-pandemic levels, since the first quarter of 2021, premier workplaces in our five traditional central business district (“CBD”) markets (Boston, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC) have consistently outperformed the broader office market in those CBDs on several key metrics, including occupancy, net absorption levels and rental rates. This outperformance is evident in BXP’s portfolio where approximately 90% of our share of net operating income (“NOI”) comes from predominantly premier workplaces located in CBDs. As of June 30, 2024, these CBD assets are 90.4% occupied and 92.2% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)). For a detailed discussion of our share of NOI, including the reasons management believes the metric is useful to investors and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, see page 35.

We remain in active pursuit of opportunities in our core markets and asset types with primarily two types of counterparties: lenders to highly leveraged assets that require recapitalization and institutional owners seeking to diversify from the office asset class. To date, there has been limited market transaction activity for higher-quality office assets, though increasingly owners are testing the market to understand pricing. With lenders, there are fewer premier workplaces that are struggling with leverage, and in the few cases involving premier workplaces, lenders are generally electing to extend loans to borrowers who agree to invest modestly in their assets. Institutional owners are less interested in selling their higher quality assets, and there remains a material bid-ask spread given that, in most cases, assets have not been marked down to market-clearing levels. Notwithstanding these current challenges, we expect that transactions and our investment activity will increase in the coming quarters given the volume of maturing financings, continued mark downs in institutional portfolios and prolonged high interest rates. We also have interest from institutional investors in co-investing with us for select opportunities.

Today, clients and their advisors are more focused than ever on these attributes for their building owners, which distinguishes BXP among its competitors.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Our core strategy has always been to develop, acquire and manage premier workplaces in gateway markets with high barriers-to-entry and attractive demand drivers, and to focus on executing long-term leases with financially strong clients that are diverse across market sectors. We believe this strategy provides a competitive advantage that helps BXP distinguish itself from competitors as our clients are interested in leasing space in vibrant, amenitized and accessible premier workplaces to encourage more in-person work. This interest has accelerated the flight to quality in the office industry. Over the past several years, BXP’s experience and performance has diverged from the larger market and media sentiment, as premier workplaces have outperformed the broader office market consistently and substantially in both rental rates achieved and occupancy. We believe this divergence validates our strategy and differentiates BXP from other office companies.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
As we continue to focus on new investments to drive future growth, we regularly review our portfolio to identify properties as potential sales candidates that either no longer fit within our portfolio strategy or could attract premium pricing in the current market. In addition, the BXP regional teams are pursuing alternative uses for some of our suburban land holdings, which includes vacant office buildings for which the highest and best use may not be office.

•On April 17, 2024, BPLP established an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program, BPLP may issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any one time of $500.0 million with varying maturities of up to one year. Amounts available under the unsecured commercial paper program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time. The notes are sold in private placements and rank pari passu with all of BPLP’s other unsecured senior indebtedness, including its outstanding senior notes. The commercial paper program is backstopped by available capacity under BPLP's unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2024, BPLP had an aggregate of $500.0 million of unsecured commercial paper notes outstanding that bore interest at a weighted-average rate of approximately 5.60% per annum and had a weighted-average maturity of 49 days, from the issuance date.
