share.
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.

This press release includes references to “BXP’s Share of
annualized rental obligations.” We define rental obligations as the
contractual base rents (but excluding percentage rent) and budgeted
reimbursements from clients under existing leases. These amounts
exclude rent abatements. Further, "annualized rental obligations"
is defined as monthly rental obligations, as of the last day of the
reporting period, multiplied by twelve (12). "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.

factors include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties
related to adverse changes in general economic and capital market
conditions, including continued inflation, elevated interest rates,
supply chain disruptions, dislocation and volatility in capital
markets, potential longer-term changes in consumer and client
behavior resulting from the severity and duration of any downturn
in the U.S. or global economy, general risks affecting the real
estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to
enter into or renew leases on favorable terms, sustained changes in
client preferences and space utilization, dependence on clients’
financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners
and operators of real estate), the impact of adverse political
conditions, including policy changes by the presidential
administration, such as the direct and indirect negative impacts
that new and increased tariffs may have on (1) our current and
prospective clients and their demand for office space and (2) the
costs and availability of construction materials and the economic
returns on our construction and development activities, the impact
of geopolitical conflicts, the uncertainties of investing in new
markets, the costs and availability of financing, the effectiveness
of our interest rate hedging contracts, the ability of our joint
venture partners to satisfy their obligations, the effects of
local, national and international economic and market conditions,
the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and possible impairment
charges on our operating results, the impact of newly adopted

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.
