See "EPS and FFO per Share Guidance" below.

Leasing & Occupancy

  • Executed 91 leases in the first quarter totaling more than 1.1 million square feet with a weighted-average lease term of 10.9 years, representing 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.

  • BXP’s CBD portfolio of premier workplaces was 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) for the first quarter. Approximately 88.0% of BXP’s Share of annualized rental obligations is derived from clients located in our CBD portfolio, underscoring the strength of BXP’s strategy to invest in the highest quality buildings in dynamic urban gateway markets.

  • BXP’s total portfolio occupancy for the first quarter was 86.9%. As previously communicated during our Q4 2024 Earnings Call on January 29, 2025, total portfolio occupancy declined by an aggregate of 60 basis points primarily due to the known expiration of 350,000 square feet at 200 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York.

  • BXP’s total portfolio percentage leased remained stable quarter-over-quarter at 89.4% (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP) despite the anticipated decline in occupancy, demonstrating the continued strength of BXP’s leasing activity and pipeline, as illustrated by the lease executed for the majority of the expired space at 200 Fifth Avenue in the first quarter.

  • Leases for more than 300,000 square feet were executed for our development properties, bringing the percentage pre-leased to 62% as of April 25, 2025, up from 50% at January 24, 2025.

    • In April 2025, BXP signed a lease with a global law firm for approximately 126,000 square feet at 725 12th Street, a redevelopment project in Washington, DC. This project is now 87% pre-leased.

Transactions

  • BXP 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 approximately 19.5% of the common equity interests in the venture and will also provide up to $65.0 million in preferred equity as additional project funding. In addition, the joint venture entered into a $225 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.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

  • Boston Properties Limited Partnership ("BPLP") repaid $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.200% unsecured senior notes at maturity on January 15, 2025. The repayment was completed with available cash and the proceeds from BPLP’s August 2024 $850.0 million offering of its 5.750% unsecured senior notes.

  • A joint venture in which BXP has a 50% ownership interest entered into a $252 million 10-year, non-recourse CMBS loan secured by 7750 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, Maryland. The loan is scheduled to mature on March 1, 2035, and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.491% per annum. 7750 Wisconsin Avenue is an approximately 736,000 square foot premier workplace that is 100% leased to an affiliate of Marriott International, Inc.

  • BPLP amended its revolving credit facility to provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $2.95 billion through an unsecured revolving credit facility and an unsecured term loan facility, subject to customary conditions. The amendment increased the total commitment of the revolving line of credit from $2.0 billion to $2.25 billion, extended the maturity date to March 29, 2030, and extended the $700.0 million unsecured term loan facility with an initial maturity date of March 30, 2029, plus two six-month extension options, each subject to customary conditions. The $700 million unsecured term loan was scheduled to mature in May 2025. The revolving credit facility currently has a facility fee equal to 0.20% per annum with loans bearing interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR plus 0.85%. The term loan currently bears interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR plus 0.95%.

  • BPLP increased the amount by which it may issue unsecured commercial paper notes under its commercial paper program from $500.0 million to $750.0 million. 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 $750.0 million with varying maturities of up to one year. 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 credit facility. At April 28, 2025, BPLP had an aggregate of $750.0 million of unsecured commercial paper notes outstanding that bore interest at a weighted-average rate of approximately 4.72% per annum and had a weighted-average maturity of 46 days from the issuance date.

Sustainability & Impact

  • On April 22, 2025, in connection with Earth Day, BXP published its 2024 Sustainability & Impact Report, which highlights that, among other things, BXP achieved its net-zero goal of carbon-neutral operations for Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions.

EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:

BXP’s guidance for the second quarter of 2025 and full year 2025 for EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below. Except as described below, the estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, interest rates, the timing of the lease-up of available space, the timing of development cost outlays and development deliveries, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and those referenced during the related conference call. The estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, (2) the impacts of any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. BXP is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or gains or losses associated with disposition activities. There can be no assurance that BXP’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth below.

"BXP's Share" is based on annualized rental obligations for our consolidated portfolio, plus our share of annualized rental obligations from the unconsolidated joint ventures properties (calculated based on our ownership percentage), minus our partners' share of annualized rental obligations from our consolidated joint venture properties (calculated based on our partners' percentage ownership interests). Our definitions of the foregoing operating metrics may be different than those used by other companies.

Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"), we calculate Funds from Operations, or "FFO," by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to BXP, Inc. (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, including a change in control, impairment losses on depreciable real estate consolidated on our balance sheet, impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, but we believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales or a change in control of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies.

Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently.

In order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company’s operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to BXP, Inc. as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to BXP, Inc. (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
