Current report
•volatile or adverse economic, capital markets and political conditions, including continued inflation, elevated interest rates, supply chain disruptions and policy changes related to tariffs, which may directly or indirectly impact us, our current clients and our prospective clients, including their demand for office space, and the costs and availability of construction materials and the economic returns on our construction and development activities;
Current report
BXP’s leasing activity remains healthy and active across many of our core submarkets, supported by improving corporate sentiment and a continued rebound in office utilization. While conditions vary by region, we are encouraged by the breadth and depth of tenant demand in our premier assets, particularly in our East Coast markets.
Current report
Corporate confidence, one of the primary drivers of leasing activity, has been buoyed by several macroeconomic and policy developments. These include the recent passage of H.R. 1, informally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB”), a continued trend toward regulatory easing, geopolitical risk mitigation in select regions, the expected resolution of key U.S. trade and tariff agreements, and the potential for reductions in short-term interest rates. Capital markets are reflecting this improved sentiment, with U.S. equity indices recently reaching new highs and investment-grade credit spreads hovering near 10-year lows. Corporate health remains broadly stable, supported by the constructive business environment and these dynamics are reinforcing business confidence, which in turn supports decision-making around long-term investments, including office space commitments.
Current report
In parallel, in-person work behavior continues to trend positively, enhancing demand for high-quality office environments. Over the past two years, there has been a notable shift among large corporations toward increased office attendance requirements, with a growing number moving away from fully remote and hybrid models. These evolving workplace policies have meaningfully contributed to leasing activity in select markets, particularly where premier office space supports employee engagement and productivity.
Current report
Return-to-office trends remain strongest in our East Coast markets, particularly in New York City, while our West Coast markets continue to lag, albeit with early signs of increased usage.
Current report
We remain focused on leveraging these positive trends by actively engaging with tenants, deploying capital prudently, and positioning our portfolio to meet evolving demand for best-in-class, highly amenitized, and sustainable office environments.
Current report
In the second quarter of 2025, we executed 91 leases totaling more than 1.1 million square feet and having a weighted-average lease term of approximately 9.4 years. Over the last four quarters (i.e., July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025), our leasing volume of approximately 5.7 million square feet was approximately 18% greater than our leasing volume for the previous four quarters (i.e., July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024). We continue to increase the pre-leasing of our development pipeline with approximately 200,000 square feet of development leasing in the second quarter of 2025.
Current report
Including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP, our in-service office and retail properties were approximately 89.1% leased at June 30, 2025. The difference between leased and occupied square footage has grown to 2.7%, which represents approximately 1.3 million square feet of space for which revenue recognition is expected to commence in 2025 and 2026. Approximately 500,000 square feet of the 1.3 million square feet of space is expected to commence in 2025, with the majority of the remaining 800,000 square feet commencing in the latter half of 2026.
Current report

Current report
We will be proceeding with full vertical construction of 343 Madison Avenue in New York City, New York. 343 Madison Avenue will be a highly amenitized, sustainably designed, 46-story, 930,000 square foot premier workplace with direct access to Grand Central Station. We have elected to acquire our partner’s 45% interest in the project at cost, or approximately $43.5 million, during the third quarter of 2025. In addition, we have signed a letter of intent with a prospective client to lease approximately 274,000 square feet, or approximately 30% of the building’s total square footage, and we have other tenant proposals in discussion, underscoring the continued strong demand for the future premier workplace. We believe 343 Madison Avenue represents a strong and significant value creation opportunity for shareholders.
Current report
As part of our strategy to use residential entitlements to maximize the value of our land holdings, we are redeveloping 17 Hartwell Avenue, an approximately 30,000 net rentable square feet office property that was recently demolished, into a fully entitled, 312-unit residential property in Lexington, Massachusetts with our joint venture partner. We sold the land at 17 Hartwell Avenue to the joint venture for approximately $21.8 million in cash. We also contributed development costs of approximately $5.6 million for our 20% ownership interest. BXP and BPLP recognized a gain upon sale of the real estate of approximately $18.4 million and $18.5 million, respectively. We will be the development manager for the project. In addition, the joint venture entered into a $98.7 million construction loan that is scheduled to mature on July 10, 2030, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. 17 Hartwell Avenue is expected to be completed in mid-2027.

Previous report
The market is experiencing increased volatility in the capital markets, heightened concerns over the potential for inflation and increased interest rates and a reduction in consumer confidence. These factors led many to forecast a potential recession or decline in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth in 2025, and the recent report that first quarter GDP declined by 0.3% did not contradict those forecasts.
Previous report
For BXP, the primary drivers of leasing activity continue to be corporate confidence and in-person workplace behavior. Despite our initial concerns that clients might delay or cancel space requirements in response to a more uncertain operating environment, we have not observed this trend to date. Of the approximately one million square feet currently under negotiation, only one prospective user—accounting for approximately 8,000 square feet—has elected not to move forward, citing current market conditions. Our overall leasing pipeline remains active and robust.
Previous report
In the life sciences sector, proposed federal funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health and other research organizations, as well as uncertainties regarding U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals, are creating additional headwinds. These challenges are leading some investors and operators within the life sciences community to reconsider new financial commitments, which may impact leasing velocity in this sector.
Previous report
Should the U.S. economy enter a recession, we would expect overall leasing demand to soften; however, we also believe a recession could result in lower interest rates and a potential decline in remote work due to a weaker labor market. With respect to construction costs, while tariffs are expected to increase the prices of certain materials, we anticipate modest impact on our overall construction budgets, due to the limited proportion of non-U.S. sourced materials used in our projects and strong competition among contractors.
Previous report
In light of the uncertain trajectory of the U.S. and global economies, we continue to position BXP for success by ensuring ample liquidity, managing our leverage, pursuing additional capital raising opportunities and maintaining discipline in discretionary capital expenditures, while continuing to selectively invest (including through both acquisitions and developments) in premier workplace opportunities. We remain focused on:
Previous report
•continuing to embrace our leadership position in the premier workplace segment and leveraging our strength in portfolio quality, client relationships, development skills, market penetration and sustainability to profitably build market share;
Previous report
•leasing available space in our in-service and development properties, as well as proactively focusing on future lease expirations;
Previous report
•completing the construction and leasing of our development properties;

•prioritizing risk management by actively managing liquidity, investing more extensively with joint venture partners to manage our debt levels, and being highly selective in new investment commitments.

The following is an overview of leasing and investment activity in the first quarter of 2025 and recent business highlights.
Previous report
To be successful in any leasing environment, we believe we must consider all aspects of the client-landlord relationship. In this regard, we believe that our competitive leasing advantage is based on the following attributes:
Previous report
•our understanding of our client’s short- and long-term space utilization and amenity needs in the local markets;
Previous report

Previous report
In the first quarter of 2025, we executed 91 leases totaling more than 1.1 million square feet with a weighted-average lease term of approximately 10.9 years. This result represents a 25% increase in the number of square feet leased over the first quarter of 2024. Notable leases for the quarter included an approximately 244,000 square foot lease at 200 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York and an approximately 162,000 square foot lease in Waltham, Massachusetts, both of which were on vacant space.
Previous report
Including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP, our in-service office and retail properties were approximately 89.4% leased at March 31, 2025. The percentage leased remained stable quarter-over-quarter demonstrating the continued strength of BXP’s leasing activity and pipeline, as illustrated by the lease executed at 200 Fifth Avenue in the first quarter.
Previous report
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 divest from the office asset class. To date, there has been limited market transaction activity for higher-quality office assets, though owners are increasingly testing the market to understand pricing.
Previous report
We continually evaluate current and prospective markets for possible acquisitions of “value-add” assets that require lease-up or repositioning, and acquisitions that are otherwise consistent with our long-term strategy of owning, managing, developing, and improving premier workplaces in each of our chosen markets. Additional new acquisition opportunities will likely increase in this environment, and we remain committed to developing and acquiring assets to enhance our long-term growth and to meet client demand by focusing on premier workplaces.
Previous report
Consistent with this strategy, on March 5, 2025, we completed the formation of a joint venture with CrossHarbor Capital and Albanese Organization to develop 290 Coles Street, a fully entitled, 670-unit market-rate residential project offering panoramic views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline in Jersey City, New Jersey. The estimated total investment (inclusive of interest carry on the equity investments) is approximately $455.8 million. BXP owns 19.46% of the common equity interests in the venture and will also provide up to $65.0 million of the required capital as preferred equity. In addition, the joint venture entered into a $225.0 million construction loan that bears interest at a rate of Term SOFR plus 2.50% per annum, and matures on March 5, 2029 with an additional one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
Previous report
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.

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.

BXP is one of the largest publicly traded office real estate investment trusts (REITs) (based on total market capitalization as of March 31, 2025) in the United States 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 improvement allowances, free rent periods and other landlord concessions, anticipated operating expenses and real estate taxes, the date by which we expect to begin revenue recognition for the lease under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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.

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.

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, rental rates and landlord concessions. This outperformance is evident in BXP’s portfolio where we derive approximately 88% of our share of annualized rental obligations from predominantly premier workplaces located in CBDs. We define annualized rental obligations as the monthly contractual base rent (excluding percentage rent and rent abatements) and budgeted reimbursements from clients under existing leases as of March 31, 2025, multiplied by twelve. Our share of annualized rental obligations is calculated as the consolidated amount, plus our share of the amount from our unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based on our economic percentage ownership interest), less our partners’ share of the amount from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based on the partners’ economic percentage ownership interest). As of March 31, 2025, our CBD assets are 89.8% occupied and 92.3% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP).

Although all the markets in which we operate still need consistent incremental absorption to constitute a macro recovery, we continue to see pockets of strength where low availability is driving constructive client behavior. This is particularly true in New York and Boston, which accounts for 62% of our share of annualized rental obligations. As clients choose premier workplaces in sound financial condition with building owners that are committed for the long term to their properties operated by the best property management teams, we expect to continue to be successful in gaining market share.

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income attributable to BXP, Inc. and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership, as applicable, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, plus (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, loss from early extinguishment of debt, impairment loss, loss on sales-type lease, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services contracts and corporate general and administrative expense less (2) unrealized gain (loss) on non-real estate investments, gains (losses) from investments in securities, interest and other income (loss), income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, direct reimbursements of payroll and related costs from management services contracts and development and management services revenue. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe it provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and financial condition because, when compared across periods, it reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income attributable to BXP, Inc. and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. Similarly, interest expense may be incurred at the property level even though the financing proceeds may be used at the corporate level (e.g., used for other investment activity). In addition, depreciation and amortization expense, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance measures at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define NOI differently.

Depreciation expense 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 redemptions of common units of limited partnership interest of BPLP (“OP Units”). 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 depreciation expense when those properties are sold.

Lease revenue (excluding termination income) from the Same Property Portfolio increased by approximately $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024. The increase was a result of our average revenue per square foot increasing by approximately $2.24, contributing approximately $38.5 million, partially offset by approximately $17.3 million due to our average occupancy decreasing from 89.4% to 88.3%.

(3)Average Economic Occupancy is defined as (1) total possible revenue less vacancy loss divided by (2) total possible revenue, expressed as a percentage. Total possible revenue is determined by valuing average occupied units at contract rates and average vacant units at Market Rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current Market Rents. By measuring vacant units at their Market Rents, Average Economic Occupancy takes into account the fact that units of different sizes and locations within a residential property have different economic impacts on a residential property’s total possible gross revenue. Market Rents used by us in calculating Economic Occupancy are based on the current market rates set by the managers of our residential properties based on their experience in renting their residential property’s units and publicly available market data. Actual market rents and trends in such rents for a region as reported by others may vary materially from Market Rents used by us. Market Rents for a period are based on the average Market Rents during that period and do not reflect any impact for cash concessions.

Wages directly related to the development of rental properties are capitalized and included in real estate assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the useful lives of the applicable asset or lease term. Capitalized wages for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $9.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Gains from investments in securities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 related to investments that we have made to reduce our market risk relating to deferred compensation plans that we maintain for BXP’s officers and former non-employee directors. Under their respective deferred compensation plans, eligible officers and non-employee directors are permitted to defer a portion of their current compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on the amounts deferred based on the performance of specific investments selected by participating officers and non-employee directors. In order to reduce our market risk relating to these plans, we typically acquire, in a separate account that is not restricted as to its use, similar or identical investments as those selected by each officer or non-employee director. This enables us to generally match our liabilities to participants under our deferred compensation plans with equivalent assets and thereby limit our market risk. The performance of these investments is recorded as gains from investments in securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized gains of approximately $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, on these investments. By comparison, our general and administrative expense decreased by approximately $2.2 million and $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as a result of decreases in our liability under our deferred compensation plans that was associated with the performance of the specific investments selected by participating officers and former non-employee directors of BXP.

Interest expense directly related to the development of rental properties is capitalized and included in real estate assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over the useful lives of the real estate or lease term. As portions of properties are placed in-service, we cease capitalizing interest on that portion and interest is then expensed. Interest capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $22.5 million and $19.7 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the interest expense referenced above.

(1)Rental Revenue is equal to Revenue less Development and Management Services Revenue and Direct Reimbursements of Payroll and Related Costs from Management Services Revenue per the Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding the residential and hotel revenue that is noted below. We use Rental Revenue internally as a performance measure and in calculating other non-GAAP financial measures (e.g., NOI), which provide investors with information regarding our performance that is not immediately apparent from the most directly comparable GAAP measures and allows investors to compare operating performance between periods.

(1)These properties are no longer considered “in-service” because each property’s occupied percentage is less than 50% and we anticipate a future development/redevelopment of the property. A property will be considered held for development or redevelopment until the last client has vacated the property and the property is no longer revenue producing.

Development and management services revenue increased by approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2024. Development services revenue and management services revenue increased by approximately $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase in development services revenue was primarily related to an increase in fees associated with a tenant improvement project in the Boston region. The increase in management services revenue was primarily related to management fees earned from third-party owned buildings.

Direct Reimbursements of Payroll and Related Costs From Management Services Contracts and Payroll and Related Costs From Management Service Contracts
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
We have determined that amounts reimbursed for payroll and related costs received from third parties in connection with management services contracts should be reflected on a gross basis instead of on a net basis as we have determined that we are the principal under these arrangements. We anticipate that these two financial statement line items will generally offset each other.

Depreciation expense 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 depreciation expense. For additional information see the Explanatory Note that immediately follows the cover page of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
