EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 of Boston Properties, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “BXP” mean Boston Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to “BPLP” and the “Operating Partnership” mean Boston Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. 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. BXP is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of BPLP. As the sole general partner of BPLP, BXP has exclusive control of BPLP’s day-to-day management. Therefore, unless stated otherwise or the context requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively BXP, BPLP and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by BXP.
As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, BXP owned an approximate 89.4%89.1% ownership interest in BPLP. The remaining approximate 10.6%10.9% interest was owned by limited partners. The other limited partners of BPLP (1) contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to BPLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in BPLP or (2) received long-term incentive plan units of BPLP pursuant to BXP’s Stock Option and Incentive Plans, or both. Under the limited partnership agreement of BPLP, unitholders may present their common units of BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of a common unit for redemption, BPLP must redeem the unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of BXP’s common stock. In lieu of a cash redemption by BPLP, however, BXP may elect to acquire any common units so tendered by issuing shares of BXP common stock in exchange for the common units. If BXP so elects, its common stock will be exchanged for common units on a one-for-one basis. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. BXP generally expects that it will elect to issue its common stock in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having BPLP pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, BXP’s percentage ownership in BPLP will increase. In addition, whenever BXP issues shares of its common stock other than to acquire common units of BPLP, BXP must contribute any net proceeds it receives to BPLP and BPLP must issue to BXP an equivalent number of common units of BPLP. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of BXP and BPLP into this single report:
•enhances investors’ understanding of BXP and BPLP by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more concise and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both BXP and BPLP; and
•creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between BXP and BPLP in the context of how BXP and BPLP operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of BPLP are consolidated into the financial statements of BXP. BXP does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in BPLP, nor does it have employees of its own. BPLP, not BXP, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of BXP. BPLP holds substantially all of the assets of BXP, including ownership interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures. BPLP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity issuances by BXP, which are contributed to the capital of BPLP in exchange for common or preferred units of partnership in BPLP, as applicable, BPLP generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its credit facilities, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties and interests in joint ventures.
Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of BXP and BPLP. The limited partners of BPLP are accounted for as partners’ capital in BPLP’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in BXP’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in BPLP’s financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships. The noncontrolling interests in BXP’s financial statements include the same
noncontrolling interests in BPLP and limited partners of BPLP. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued by each of BXP and BPLP.
In addition, the consolidated financial statements of BXP and BPLP differ in total real estate assets resulting from previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor redemptions of common units of BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets of BXP at the time of such redemptions, resulting in a difference between the net real estate of BXP as compared to BPLP of approximately $244.6$241.2 million, or 1.2% at September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, and a corresponding difference in depreciation expense, impairment losses and gains on sales of real estate upon the sale of these properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up. The acquisition accounting was nullified on a prospective basis beginning in 2009 as a result of the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard requiring any subsequent redemptions to be accounted for solely as an equity transaction.
To help investors better understand the key differences between BXP and BPLP, the following items in this report present information separately for BXP and BPLP:
• Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), which includes the following specific disclosures for BXP and BPLP:

Because the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that BXP owns, one share of Common Stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of Common Stock.
The Company uses LTIP Units as a form of time-based, restricted equity compensation and as a form of performance-based equity compensation for employees, and has previously granted LTIP Units in the form of (1) 2012 outperformance plan awards (“2012 OPP Units”) and (2) 2013 - 20232024 multi-year, long-term incentive program awards (also referred to as “MYLTIP Units”), each of which, upon the satisfaction of certain performance-based and time-based vesting conditions, is convertible into one OP Unit. The three-year measurement periods for the 2012 OPP Units and the 2013 - 20202021 MYLTIP Units have ended and BXP’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) was sufficient for employees to earn and therefore become eligible to vest in a portion of the awards. Unless and until they are earned, the rights, preferences and privileges of the 20212022 - 20232024 MYLTIP Units differ from other LTIP Units granted to employees (including the 2012 OPP Units and the 2013 - 20202021 MYLTIP Units, which have been earned). Therefore, unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to LTIP Units exclude the 20212022 - 20232024 MYLTIP Units. LTIP Units (including the earned 2012 OPP Units and the earned 2013 - 20202021 MYLTIP Units), whether vested or not, will receive the same quarterly per unit distributions as OP Units, which equal per share dividends on Common Stock (See Notes 9 and 13).
Properties
At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the Company owned or had joint venture interests in a portfolio of 190187 commercial real estate properties (the “Properties”) aggregating approximately 53.5 million net rentable square feet of primarily premier workplaces, including 11 properties under construction/redevelopment totaling approximately 2.83.2 million net rentable square feet. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the Properties consisted of:
•169165 office and life sciences properties (including 8seven properties under construction/redevelopment);
•14 retail properties (including two properties under construction/redevelopment);
•sixseven residential properties (including one propertytwo properties under construction); and
•one hotel.
The Company considers premier workplaces to be well-located buildings that are modern structures or have been modernized to compete with newer buildings and professionally managed and maintained. As such, these properties attract high-quality clientstenants and command upper-tier rental rates.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
BXP does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in BPLP, nor does it have employees of its own. BPLP, not BXP, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving securities of BXP. All majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures over which the Company has financial and operating control and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings of these joint ventures and companies is included in consolidated net income.
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report in the Company’s Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.2023.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it considers to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events such as a pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making significant judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, assessments of future collectability, and other areas of the financial statements that are impacted by the use of estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
Consolidated VIEs are those for which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the returns from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The assets of each VIE are only available to satisfy such VIE's respective liabilities. The Company has identified eightnine entities that are VIEs as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and has determined that it is the primary beneficiary for sevenall of the eightthese entities that are VIEs as of September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, BXP has identified sevennine consolidated VIEs, including BPLP. Excluding BPLP, the consolidated VIEs consisted of (i) the following five in-service properties: 767 Fifth Avenue (the General Motors Building), Times Square Tower, 601 Lexington Avenue, Atlantic Wharf Office Building and 100 Federal Street, (ii) 343 Madison Avenue, which is categorized as land held for future development.development and (iii) 290 Binney Street and 300 Binney Street which are currently under development / redevelopment.
The Company consolidates these VIEs because it is the primary beneficiary. The third parties’ interests in these consolidated entities (excluding BPLP’s interest) are reflected as noncontrolling interests in property partnerships in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (See Note 9).
In addition, BXP’s only significant asset is its investment in BPLP and, consequently, substantially all of BXP’s assets and liabilities are the assets and liabilities of BPLP.
Variable Interest Entities Not Consolidated
The Company has determined BP/CRF Metropolitan Square LLC is a VIE. The Company does not consolidate this entity asAs of March 31, 2024, the Company does not have the power to direct the activitiesany unconsolidated joint ventures that when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance and, therefore the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.are classified as VIEs.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.
measurements when valuing its financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The table below presents for September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, the financial instruments that are being valued for disclosure purposes as well as the Level at which they are categorized (asas defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).
| | | | | |
| Financial Instrument | Level |
| 3-Month United States Treasury Bills | Level 1 |
| Investment in securities | Level 1 |
| Unsecured senior notes (1) | Level 1 |
| Related party note receivable | Level 3 |

| Mortgage notes payable | Level 3 |
| Unsecured line of credit | Level 3 |
| Unsecured term loan | Level 3 |
_______________
(1)If trading volume for the period is low, the valuation could be categorized as Level 2.
Because the Company’s valuations of its financial instruments are based on the above Levels and involve the use of estimates, the actual fair values of its financial instruments may differ materially from those estimates.
In addition, the Company’s estimated fair values for these instruments as of the end of the applicable reporting period are not projections of, nor necessarily indicative of, estimated or actual fair values in future reporting periods.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding three-month United States Treasury Bills with a maturity date of January 30, 2024 that were classified as held to maturity because the Company determined that it had the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Because these securities were considered a short-term investment, they are reflected at amortized cost within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2023, the amortized cost of these securities was approximately $302.7 million. There were no such securities outstanding at March 31, 2024.
The Company’s investment in non-real estate investments is shown within Prepaid and Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and was approximately $5.1 million and $4.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The non-real estate investments utilize net asset value as the practical expedient.

_______________
(1) Per the guidance in ASC 326 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”), the Company concluded that the risk of nonpayment is nonexistent because the U.S. Government has a long history with no credit losses and therefore, no credit loss allowance was recorded.
At March 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the expected hold period for a portion of its Shady Grove property located in Rockville, Maryland. Based on a shorter-than-expected hold period, the Company reduced the carrying value of a portion of the property that the Company anticipates selling to a third party developer to its estimated fair value at March 31, 2024. As a result, each of BXP and BPLP recognized an impairment loss of approximately $13.6 million. The Company’s estimated fair value utilized Level 3 inputs and was based on a pending offer from a third party.
Recurring Fair Value
Derivatives
In addition to the financial instruments noted above, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate risk (See Note 7). The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2023, theThe Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments arewere not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments
The Company accounts for investments in equity securities at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. The Company maintains deferred compensation plans that are designed to allow officers and non-employee directors of BXP to defer a portion of the officer’s current income or the non-employee director’s current compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on these deferrals based on the performance of specific investments selected by the officer or non-employee director. The Company’s obligation under the plans is that of an unsecured promise to pay the deferred compensation to the plan participants in the future. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had maintained approximately $37.0 million and $36.1 million, respectively, in separate accounts, which are not restricted as to their use. The Company recognized gains of approximately $2.3 million and $1.7 million on its investments in the accounts associated with the Company’s deferred compensation plans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively primarily due to the observable change in fair value.

4. Leases
The Company estimates the collectability of its accrued rent and accounts receivable balances related to lease revenue. When evaluating the collectability of these accrued rent and accounts receivable balances, management considers tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns, on a lease-by-lease basis. If the Company determines that the accrued rent and/or accounts receivable balances are no longer probable of collection then the balances are written-off and the lease is recognized on a cash basis.
If applicable, information related to write-offs of accrued rent, net balances and accounts receivable, net balances and reinstatements of accrued rent balances for the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures can be found in Note 5.

Impairments
The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are reviewed for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis and the Company records impairment charges when events or circumstances indicate that a decline in the fair values below the carrying amounts has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company continued to evaluate declining market conditions and underlying key assumptions of certain investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, including the receipt and consideration of certain third-party joint venture property appraisals. Such evaluation of key impairment indicators resulted in the Company determining that the decline in value, for certain joint venture properties, was other-than-temporary and therefore the Company recorded impairment charges during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as described below.

Platform 16 was planned to be constructed in phases to best accommodate market demand. The first phase of the development project included the construction of an approximately 390,000 net rentable square foot premier workplace building and below-grade parking garage. The joint venture intends to complete the construction of the below-grade parking garage and building foundation elements over the next several months to facilitate a restart of construction in the future as demand improves. Upon electing to pause vertical construction, the Company performed an analysis to determine if there was an other-than temporary impairment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the real estate and leasing conditions in the San Jose, California market continued to deteriorate and the Company further extended its construction pause assumption. These conditions, combined with a decrease in market rent assumptions, resulted in the Company recognizing a non-cash impairment charge totaling approximately $155.2 million, which represented the decline in the fair value below the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture that owns Platform 16. The Company determined that its investment was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment, including an exit capitalization rate of 6.0%, and a discount rate of 12.0%.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge totaling approximately $54.0 million, which represented the decline in the fair value below the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture that owns 360 Park Avenue South. The Company assessed the impairment and concluded that it was other than temporary. The Company determined that its investment was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment, including an exit capitalization rate of 5.5% and leasing the currently available space over a longer period of time ending in 2026. 360 Park Avenue South is currently under redevelopment to be a premier workplace with approximately 450,000 net rentable square feet located in New York City, New York.

The Company determined that its investment was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment, including an exit capitalization rate of 5.0% and a discount rate of 8.0%. 200 Fifth Avenue is a premier workplace with approximately 855,000 net rentable square feet located in New York City, New York.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge totaling approximately $29.9 million, which represented the decline in the fair value below the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture that owns Safeco Plaza. The Company assessed the impairment and concluded that it was other than temporary. The Company determined that its investment was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment, including an exit capitalization rate of 5.5%, a discount rate of 8.0% and a major lobby and repositioning renovation.

BPLP has formally documented all of its relationships between hedge instruments and hedging items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. While management believes its judgments are reasonable, a change in a derivative's effectiveness as a hedge could materially affect expenses, net income (loss) and equity.
Ineffective Hedging Instruments
During the year ended December 31, 2023, to satisfy a lender requirement, the Company entered into two agreements with the swap derivative counterparties contain provisions whereby if BPLP defaults onsame third-party to purchase and sell a $600.0 million interest rate cap.

For the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then BPLP could also be declared in default of the swap derivative obligation. As of September 30,three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had not posted any collateral relatedrecognized no impact to theits Consolidated Statement of Operations from entering into these agreements.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
General
In the normal course of business, the Company guarantees its performance of services or indemnifies third parties against its negligence. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company guarantees to certain tenants the obligations of its subsidiaries for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and brokerage commissions in connection with their leases and limited costs arising from delays in delivery of their premises.
The Company had letter of credit and performance obligations related to lender and development requirements that total approximately $21.6 million at September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024.
Certain of the Company’s joint venture agreements include provisions whereby, at certain specified times, each partner has the right to initiate a purchase or sale of its interest in the joint ventures. From time to time, under certain of the Company’s joint venture agreements, if certain return thresholds are achieved, either the Company or its partners may be entitled to an additional promoted interest or payments.
From time to time, the Company (or ventures in which the Company has an ownership interest) has agreed, and may in the future agree, to (1) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with their borrowings, (2) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with their borrowings and (3) provide guarantees to lenders, tenants and other third parties for the completion of development projects. The Company has agreements with its outside or joint venture partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the joint venture for their share of any payments made under the guarantee. In some cases, the Company earns a fee from the applicable joint venture for providing the guarantee.
In connection with the refinancing of 767 Fifth Avenue’s (the General Motors Building) secured loan by the Company’s consolidated joint venture entity, 767 Venture, LLC, the Company guaranteed the consolidated entity’s obligation to fund various reserves for tenant improvement costs and allowances, leasing commissions and free rent obligations in lieu of cash deposits. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the maximum funding obligation under the guarantee was approximately $10.0$8.5 million. The Company earns a fee from the joint venture for providing the guarantee and has an agreement with the outside partners to reimburse the joint venture for their share of any payments made under the guarantee. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, no amounts related to the guarantee were recorded as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the developmentsale of the Company’s 290 Binney Street project located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which commenced on January 5, 2023 (see Note 3), the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance requires that a building permit for the construction of a residential project of at least 400,000 square feet be issued prior to or concurrently with the issuance of a building permit for the commercial building. 290 Binney Street and the residential project are components of the Company’s future life sciences development project located in the heart of KendallMetropolitan Square, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. When completedwhich the Company expectshad a 20% equity interest, the projectCompany agreed to become a co-lender of up to $20.0 million under a mezzanine loan. The mezzanine loan has a maximum principal amount of $100.0 million, and it is subordinate only to an existing senior loan. The mezzanine loan may be drawn upon for future lease-up, operating and other costs on an as needed basis, and amounts borrowed will consistbear interest at a per annum rate of two premier workplace properties aggregating12%, compounded monthly. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has funded approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet of life sciences space and the approximately 400,000 square foot residential building. $2.2 million.
Legal Matters
The commencement of construction of each phase of the overall projectCompany is subject to various conditions, somelegal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. Management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
In connection with the acquisition of a premier workplace in New York City in 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with the seller pursuant to which are not within the Company’s control. Thereseller could earn various fees based on the future leasing performance of the property. The Company initially accrued approximately $1.5 million as an estimate of the fees it would owe the seller. The seller filed suit against the Company claiming that consideration significantly in excess of the initial reserve amount is owed under the agreement in 2020. The disagreement between the Company and the
seller involves material issues of contract interpretation and, more importantly, the method of calculating fees, including various inputs (both facts and assumptions) that drive the calculation. In February 2024, a summary judgment was issued interpreting certain sections of the agreement in favor of the seller’s claims. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the seller’s claims, is disputing the seller’s calculations and intends to continue defending itself vigorously. However, there can be no assurance that the conditionsCompany will prevail in the lawsuit. If the court ultimately agrees with the seller’s calculations, then amounts due to the seller could theoretically be satisfied oras high as the additional $31 million claimed in the seller’s complaint, plus interest. Although the Company rejects those calculations, there can be no assurance that the Company’s ultimate liability will not be significantly greater than its established accrual.
On April 26, 2024, Brammer Bio MA, LLC (“Brammer”), a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. and an abutter to the Company’s 290 Binney Street development project located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, filed a complaint in Superior Court in Suffolk County, Massachusetts against the Company relating to certain ongoing construction activities.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company commenced development of 290 Binney Street, an approximately 566,000 net rentable square foot laboratory/life sciences property that is 100% pre-leased to AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals (“AstraZeneca”). The Company has a 55% interest in the joint venture that owns 290 Binney Street. Brammer subleases the premises at 250 Binney Street, the Company’s approximately 67,000 net rentable square foot life sciences property that is adjacent to 290 Binney Street.
Brammer alleges that, as a result of the Company’s construction of 290 Binney Street, it is threatened with irreparable harm due to intrusion onto the 250 Binney Street premises and the loss of its property rights. Brammer also alleges that the 290 Binney Street development project has caused and is causing major disruption to its manufacturing operations, and that it has suffered and will continue to suffer damages in the form of losses to its clients and customers. Brammer brought the action for quiet title, breach of contract, trespass and nuisance, and it is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and specific performance purportedly to protect its property interests in the premises located at 250 Binney Street.
The Company believes Brammer’s claims are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. However, there can be no assurance the Company will commenceprevail in the development oflitigation. If the remaining phasesCompany is enjoined from further construction activities, it could suffer delays in construction that could result in its failure to deliver a completed building on the terms and schedule currently contemplated by the Company’s lease with AstraZeneca or at all.all, and this could result in owing financial penalties to AstraZeneca and other third parties. Although the Company is unable to estimate a range of loss for all related matters for which losses are reasonably possible, if the court grants injunctive relief or awards monetary damages to Brammer, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Insurance
The Company’s property insurance program per occurrence limits are $1.0 billion for its portfolio insurance program, including coverage for acts of terrorism other than nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism (“Terrorism Coverage”). The Company also carries $1.35 billion of property insurance in excess of the $1.0 billion of
coverage in the Company’s property insurance program for 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, consisting of $750 million of property and Terrorism Coverage in excess of the Company’s property insurance program and $600 million of Terrorism Coverage only in excess of the $1.75 billion of coverage. Certain properties, including the General Motors Building located at 767 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York (“767 Fifth Avenue”), are currently insured in separate insurance programs. The property insurance program per occurrence limits for 767 Fifth Avenue are $1.625 billion, including Terrorism Coverage. The Company also currently carries nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological terrorism insurance coverage for acts of terrorism certified under the Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (as amended, “TRIA”) (“NBCR Coverage”), which is provided by IXP as a direct insurer, for the properties in the Company’s portfolio, including 767 Fifth Avenue, but excluding certain other properties owned in joint ventures with third parties or which the Company manages. The per occurrence limit for NBCR Coverage is $1.0 billion. Under TRIA, after the payment of the required deductible and coinsurance, the NBCR Coverage provided by IXP is backstopped by the Federal Government if the aggregate industry insured losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed a “program trigger.” The program trigger is $200 million, the coinsurance is 20% and the deductible is 20% of the premiums earned by the insurer for the year prior to a claim. If the Federal Government pays out for a loss under TRIA, it is mandatory that the Federal Government recoup the full amount of the loss from insurers offering TRIA coverage after the payment of the loss pursuant to a formula in TRIA. The Company may elect to terminate the NBCR Coverage if the Federal Government seeks recoupment for losses paid
under TRIA, if TRIA is not extended after its expiration on December 31, 2027, if there is a change in its portfolio or for any other reason. The Company intends to continue to monitor the scope, nature and cost of available terrorism insurance.
The Company also currently carries earthquake insurance on its properties located in areas known to be subject to earthquakes. Specifically, the Company currently carries earthquake insurance which covers its San Francisco and Los Angeles regions with a $330 million per occurrence limit, and a $330 million annual aggregate limit, $30 million of which is provided by IXP, as a direct insurer. This insurance is subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. In addition, the Company currently carries earthquake insurance which covers its Seattle region with a $110 million per occurrence limit, and a $110 million annual aggregate limit. This insurance is subject to a deductible in the amount of 2% of the value of the affected property. The amount of the Company’s earthquake insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover losses from earthquakes. In addition, the amount of earthquake coverage could impact the Company’s ability to finance properties subject to earthquake risk. The Company may discontinue earthquake insurance or change the structure of its earthquake insurance program on some or all of its properties in the future if the premiums exceed the Company’s estimation of the value of the coverage.
IXP, a captive insurance company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acts as a direct insurer with respect to a portion of the Company’s earthquake insurance coverage for its Greater San Francisco and Los Angeles properties and the Company’s NBCR Coverage. Insofar as the Company owns IXP, it is responsible for its liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of IXP are part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In particular, if a loss occurs which is covered by the Company’s NBCR Coverage but is less than the applicable program trigger under TRIA, IXP would be responsible for the full amount of the loss without any backstop by the Federal Government. IXP would also be responsible for any recoupment charges by the Federal Government in the event losses are paid out and its insurance policy is maintained after the payout by the Federal Government. If the Company experiences a loss and IXP is required to pay under its insurance policy, the Company would ultimately record the loss to the extent of the required payment. Therefore, insurance coverage provided by IXP should not be considered as the equivalent of third-party insurance, but rather as a modified form of self-insurance. In addition, BPLP has issued a guarantee to cover liabilities of IXP in the amount of $20.0 million.
The Company continues to monitor the state of the insurance market in general, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism, earthquakes, pandemics and pandemics,cybersecurity incidents, in particular, but the Company cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years. There are other types of losses, such as from wars, for which the Company cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost. With respect to such losses and losses from acts of terrorism, earthquakes, pandemics or other catastrophic events, if the Company experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, the Company could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those properties. Depending on the specific circumstances of each affected property, it is possible that the Company could be liable for mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, and financial condition and results of operations.

Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships
The noncontrolling interests in property partnerships consist of the outside equity interests in ventures that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company because the Company exercises control over the entities that own the properties. The equity interests in these ventures that are not owned by the Company, totaling approximately $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2023at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, respectively, are included in Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On July 28, 2023,March 21, 2024, the Company entered intocompleted the sale of a joint venture agreement with an45% interest in 290 Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The institutional investor forfunded approximately $97.2 million in cash at closing, which is less than 45% of the future developmentagreed upon carrying value of 343 Madison Avenue located on Madison Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in New York City, New York adjacent to Grand Central Station. Priorthe property immediately prior to the formation of the joint venture,transaction. The institutional investor will fund all construction costs until its equity balance is proportionate to its ownership percentage, after which the Company and the institutional investor were engaged in a collaborative arrangement.will fund the development project based on their respective ownership interests. The Company ownsretains a 55% interest in the venture and its partner owns a 45% interest, and the Company will provide customary development, property management, and leasing services. The joint venture partner contributed approximately $4.8 million in cash and $17.5 million in improvements and prepaid ground rent for their 45% ownership interest in the joint venture. The Company contributed approximately $5.9 million in cash and $21.4 million in improvements and prepaid ground rent for its 55% ownership interest in the joint venture. The transaction did not qualify as a sale of real estate for financial reporting purposes as the Company continues to effectively control thisthe property and thus will continue to account for the property on a consolidated basis in its financial statements and no gain was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company provides customary development, property management and leasing services to the joint venture.
The Company has accounted for the transaction as an equity transaction and as of March 21, 2024 has recognized noncontrolling interest in its Consolidated Balance Sheets totaling approximately $104.6 million, which is equal to 45% of the aggregate carrying value of the total equity of the property immediately prior to the transaction. The difference between the cash proceeds received and the noncontrolling interest recognized, which was approximately $7.5 million, has been reflected as a decrease in additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. At the end of each reporting period, there will be a reallocation of the partners’ equity balances such that the ending balance in each partners’ capital account reflects each partners’ claim on net assets. These adjustments will impact additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest in property partnerships in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the period ended March 31, 2024, the adjustment was approximately $50.7 million.
290 Binney Street is an approximately 566,000 net rentable square foot laboratory/life sciences development project located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The development project is 100% pre-leased to a life sciences company.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership, as applicable, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, plus (1) net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, impairment loss, from unconsolidated joint ventures, 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 investment, gains (losses) from investments in securities, other income - assignment fee, interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate,income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, direct reimbursements of payroll and related costs from management services contracts and development and management services revenue. The Company believes NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure and believes it provides useful information to investors regarding its 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 (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) 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 the Company may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define NOI differently.
The Company’s internal reporting utilizes its share of NOI, which includes its share of NOI from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as the consolidated
amount, plus the Company’s share of the amount from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Company’s economic percentage ownership interest and, in some cases, after priority allocations), less the Company’s partners’ share of the amount from the Company’s consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ economic percentage ownership interests and, in some cases, after priority allocations,
income allocation to private REIT shareholders and their share of fees due to the Company). The Company’s share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures, as defined above, also does not include its share of losses from early extinguishment of debt from unconsolidated joint ventures, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments and gain on investment, and impairment losses on investments,sale / consolidation, all of which are included within LossIncome (Loss) from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Management utilizes its share of NOI in assessing its performance as the Company has several significant joint ventures and, in some cases, the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the joint venture, in which case GAAP requires that the Company account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting and the Company does not consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires that the Company consolidate the venture even though the Company’s partner(s) owns a significant percentage interest. As a result, the presentations of the Company’s share of NOI should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. Interest expense, impairment loss, from unconsolidated joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services contracts, corporate general and administrative expense, unrealized gain (loss) on non-real estate investment, gains (losses) from investments in securities, other income - assignment fee, interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate,income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, direct reimbursements of payroll and related costs from management services contracts and development and management services revenue are not included in NOI and are provided as reconciling items to the Company’s reconciliations of its share of NOI to net income.
The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by geographic area. The Company’s segments by geographic area are Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC. The Company also presents information for each segment by property type, including Premier Workplace (which includes office, life sciences and retail), Residential and Hotel.

12. Earnings Per Share / Common Unit
BXP
The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and the number of common shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”), which is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are also participating securities. As such, unvested restricted common stock of BXP and BPLP’s LTIP Units, 2012 OPP Units and MYLTIP Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS of BXP using the two-class method. Participating securities are included in the computation of diluted EPS of BXP using the if-converted method if the impact is dilutive. Because the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 20202021 MYLTIP Units required, and the 20212022 - 20232024 MYLTIP Units require, BXP to outperform absolute and/or relative returncertain performance thresholds, unless such thresholds have been met by the end of the applicable reporting period, BXP excludes such units from the diluted EPS calculation. Other potentially dilutive common shares, including stock options, restricted stock and other securities of BPLP that are exchangeable for BXP’s Common Stock, and the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted EPS.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are also participating securities. As such, unvested restricted common stock of BXP and BPLP’s LTIP Units, 2012 OPP Units and MYLTIP Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic earnings per common unit using the two-class method.

13. Stock Option and Incentive Plan
On January 25, 2023,2024, the Compensation Committee of BXP’s Compensation CommitteeBoard of Directors approved the grant of 2023 MYLTIP2024 Multi-Year Long-Term Incentive Program (the “2024 MYLTIP”) awards under the Boston Properties, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to certain executive officers of BXP, effective February 7, 2023.BXP. The 20232024 MYLTIP awards consistconsists of two, equallythree components. Two of the components, each weighted (50% each) components that40%, utilize BXP’s TSR over a three-yearthree year measurement period as the performance metric.
Total earned awards undermetrics and the 2023 MYLTIP, if any, will equalthird component utilizes a leverage ratio as the sum of the number of LTIP Units earned under the first and second components andperformance metric. Earned awards will range from zero to a maximum of 322,053330,479 LTIP Units depending on BXP’s performance under the three components, with a target of approximately 161,026165,240 LTIP Units and linear interpolation between zero and maximum. Earned awards (if any) will vest 100% on February 6, 2026, but, in general, may not be converted, redeemed, sold or otherwise transferred for one additional year thereafter. The 2023 MYLTIP awards are in the form of LTIP Units issued on the grant date, and they are subject to forfeiture to the extent awards are not earned. Prior to the performance measurement date holders of the 2023 MYLTIP Units are only entitled to one-tenth (10%) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on common partnership units. Following the completion of the three-year performance period, the Company will also make a “catch-up” cash payment on the 2023 MYLTIP Units that are ultimately earned in an amount equal to the regular and special distributions, if any, declared during the performance period on BXP’s Common Stock, less the distributions actually paid to holders of 2023 MYLTIP Units during the performance period on all of the awarded 2023 MYLTIP Units. Under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” the 20232024 MYLTIP awards have an aggregate value of approximately $13.1 million, which amount will generally be amortized into earnings under the graded vesting method.$11.1 million.
On February 3, 2023,1, 2024, the measurement period for the Company’s 20202021 MYLTIP awards ended and, based on BXP’s absolute and relative TSR performance, the final payout was determined to be 50%112% of target, or an aggregate of approximately $3.8$12.6 million (after giving effect to employee separations). As a result, an aggregate of 152,460 2020155,625 2021 MYLTIP Units that had been previously granted were automatically forfeited.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, BXP issued 73,41476,228 shares of restricted common stock and BPLP issued 430,824431,123 LTIP Units and 322,053 2023330,479 2024 MYLTIP Units to employees and non-employee directors under the 2021 Plan. Employees and non-employee directors paid $0.01 per share of restricted common stock and $0.25 per LTIP Unit and 20232024 MYLTIP Unit. When issued, LTIP Units are not economically equivalent in value to a share of Common Stock, but over time can increase in value to one-for-one parity with Common Stock if there is sufficient appreciation in the value of the Company’s assets. The aggregate value of the LTIP Units is included in noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of BXP and BPLP. A substantial majority of the grants of restricted common stock and LTIP Units to employees vest in four equal annual installments. Restricted common stock is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the closing price of BXP’s Common Stock on the date of grant as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. Such value is recognized as an expense ratably over the corresponding employee service period. The shares of restricted common stock granted during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 were valued at approximately $5.4$4.9 million. The LTIP Units
granted were valued at approximately $29.4$25.6 million using a Monte Carlo simulation method model. Because the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 20232024 MYLTIP Units are subject to both a service condition and a market condition, the Company recognizes the related compensation expense under the graded vesting attribution method. Under the graded vesting attribution method, each portion of the award that vests at a different date is accounted for as a separate award and recognized over the period appropriate to that portion so that the compensation cost for each portion should be recognized in full by the time that portion vests. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur on its awards of stock-based compensation.

On OctoberApril 5, 2024, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 760 Boylston Street, an approximately 118,000 net rentable square feet retail redevelopment located in Boston, Massachusetts.
On April 16, 2024, BPLP provided notice to exercise its one-year extension option on its $1.2 billion unsecured term loan facility (the “2023 Unsecured Term Loan”). BPLP anticipates effectuating the extension on or prior to the current May 16, 2024 maturity date. Upon effectiveness, the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan will mature on May 16, 2025. After making an approximately $500.0 million optional repayment on April 29, 2024, the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan has an outstanding principal balance of $700.0 million as of May 2, 2023, step two2024.
On April 17, 2024, BPLP established an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the Metropolitan Square restructuring (See Note 5 for a description of step one) was completed and included (i) the sale of the property and assignment of the Senior Loanprogram, BPLP may issue, from time to the new owner, and (ii) the closing of the New Mezz Loan withtime, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum principalaggregate amount outstanding at any one time of $100.0$500 million with varying maturities of up to one year. The notes will be sold in private placements and will 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 May 2, 2024, BPLP had $500.0 million outstanding under its commercial paper program that is senior to the Existing Mezz Loan and subordinate only to the Senior Loan. The New Mezz Loan may be drawn upon for future lease-up, operating and other costs on an as needed basis, and amounts borrowed will bearbears interest at a per annumweighted-average rate of 12%, compounded monthly. The Company will fund 20%, or up5.58% per annum. Proceeds from the commercial paper program were used to $20.0 million, of any amounts borrowedreduce BPLP’s 2023 Unsecured Term Loan to $700.0 million.
On April 29, 2024, BPLP increased the current maximum borrowing amount under the New Mezz Loan. In addition,2021 Credit Facility from $1.815 billion to $2.0 billion. All other terms of the Company will continue to provide property management and leasing services to2021 Credit Facility, including its maturity date of June 15, 2026, remain unchanged. BPLP had no borrowings under the property with the potential to earn additional incentive fees.

On October 26, 2023, the Company closed on a mortgage loan collateralized by its 325 Main Street, 355 Main Street, 90 Broadway and Cambridge East Garage (also known as Kendall Center Green Garage) properties located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The mortgage loan, totaling $600 million, requires interest-only payments at Daily Compounded SOFR plus 2.25% per annum until maturity on October 26, 2028.
On November 4, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Owen D. Thomas. For additional information, see Part II, Item 5(a) of this From 10-Q.
On November 6, 2023, WeWork Inc. and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, “WeWork”) filed voluntary petitions to commence proceedings under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. WeWork is a tenant at five of the Company’s premier workplaces and leases an aggregate of approximately 493,000 square feet, approximately 0.97% of the Company’s in-service portfolio. There can be no assurance that WeWork will not reject one or more of the five leases.

Overview
BXP is one of the largest publicly traded office real estate investment trusts (REITs) (based on total market capitalization as of September 30, 2023)March 31, 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.
We believe the key competitive advantages for BXP 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.
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. Our client base isclients that are diverse across market sectors.
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, 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 since the first quarter of 2021 on several key metrics, including occupancy, net absorption levels and rental rates. This outperformance is evident in BXP’s portfolio where approximately 89% of our share of net operating income (“NOI”) comes from assets located in CBDs that are predominantly premier workplaces. These CBD assets are 91.0% occupied and 92.8% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. 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 31. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease term (1) for our in-place leases, based on square feet, including those signed by our unconsolidated joint ventures but excluding residential units, was approximately 7.6 years. The weighted-average remaining lease termyears, and (2) for our 20 largest clients, based on leased square footage,feet, was approximately 10.5 years as of September 30, 2023.10.4 years.
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:
•our understanding of our client’s short- and long-term space utilization and amenity needs in the local markets;
•our track record of developing and operating premier workplaces in a sustainable and responsible manner;
•our reputation as a high-quality developer, owner and manager of premier workplaces in our markets;
•our financial strength, andincluding our ability to fund our share of lease obligations and maintain highpremier building standards; and
•our relationships with local brokers.
Outlook
DespiteTwo of the most significant external forces impacting BXP’s performance are interest rates and corporate earnings. We believe lower interest rates would improve our cost of capital, spark more transaction activity and investment opportunities in our sector, reduce the cost of new development and be a tailwind for our client’s earnings growth. Greater corporate earning would, in turn, likely encourage our clients to increase their office space requirements. However, with inflation increasing at greater than expected rates, the Federal Reserve having increasedhas stated that it expects to delay interest rate cuts.
Our clients generally do not hire new employees and increase their office space requirements unless their earnings are growing or they are in need of additional employees to grow their earnings. From 2011 to present, S&P 500 earnings grew around 12% per year, but in 2023 the discountgrowth rate to 5.25%was 0% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury having risen nearly 3% since Marchin 2022 it was 5%. Though the U.S. economy’s headline statistics remain stable with GDP growth at 4.9% ineconomy is growing, and unemployment remains low, only approximately 7% of the third quarter, 150,000 jobs created in October, and the unemployment rate slightly increasedfirst quarter of 2024 were in office using categories compared to 3.9%the long-term average of over 25%. However, this economic picture may not accurately reflect the market tone and operating environment for many of our clients. Assuming forecasts for negative earnings growthGrowth in the third quarter are accurate, the S&P 500 annual earnings growthare projected to be 11% to 13% per annum over the next two years, which should be constructive to BXP’s leasing activity. Many technology clients, a critically important sector that drove space demand following the Great Financial Crisis, overcommitted to space during the pandemic which has been negative forexacerbated the last four quarters. We believe muchsupply-demand imbalance. Over the longer term, we expect earnings at technology companies will grow and they will begin to absorb the available supply.
Although remote work continues to be a factor restraining demand for office space, we believe economic conditions are the primary driver of our slower leasing activity in 2023, and we expect leasing activity will rebound whenactivity. As overall earnings growth returns.
We believe the sentiment surrounding return-to-officefor our clients and the effects onpotential clients improves, it should lead to employment growth and demand for office buildings is worse than the reality of what BXP is experiencing. We continue to be encouraged with the return-to-office trajectoryspace over time. However, we are experiencing innot counting on a near-term market recovery to maintain BXP’s occupancy. Our leasing, construction and property management teams will lean on our buildingsoperating prowess to gain new clients and market share as well as the commentary and actions of many of our clients with respect to their in-person work policies. Several large companies have notified their employees that their attendance in office will be included in performance reviews and that employees who already have received approval for remote work may now have that status reevaluated. A primary tool used by companies to increase attendance is to provide modern workspaces with amenities in an easily commutable location, the definition of achoose premier workplace. As a result, the premier workplace segment, which we operate in, continues to outperform the broader office market, in both vacancy and net absorption, as companies see an opportunity to upgrade their workplaces as a method of attracting their workforces back to the office and recruiting new employees.
Throughout our portfolio, there has been a slow but steady increase in the number of unique occupants that are in our offices each month. As of mid-October 2023, building-census data (based on turnstile information availablesound financial condition for approximately half of our portfolio) and space utilization data indicate that our clients are indeed using their spaces at least multiple days a week (primarily Tuesday through Thursday). We believe this data, coupled with continued efforts from employers to implement mandatory in-office policies, makes it challenging for clients to reduceoffice space.
The evolving operating environment impacts various aspects of our operating activities as:
•labor market conditions shift, resulting in increasingwhich has gradually increased employer demandsdemand for mandatory in-person workdays;
•volatility in the capital markets have drivenhas led companies to be more reticent in their capital outlays, including capital required for leasing new space;
•our capital costs have increased due to higher interest rates and credit spreads, and private market debt financing, both for construction and existing assets, is significantly more challenging to arrange; and
•construction costs have increased and, although mostmuch of the cost for our active development pipeline is fixed, the cost of potential future construction activity continues to increase.
In light of the foregoing,uncertain trajectory of the U.S. and global economies, we believe we continue to position BXP for success notwithstanding the uncertain trajectory of the U.S. and global economies, by increasing 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 the following strategies:
•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. Premier workplaces, the preferred choice for our current and prospective clients, are gaining market share compared to general office space and continue to demonstrate the highest occupancy, net absorption levels and rental rates in the central business districts (“CBDs”) in markets where we operate;share;
•leasing available space in our in-service and development properties, as well as proactively focusing on future lease expirations;
•completing the construction and leasing of our development properties;
•pursuing attractive asset class adjacencies where we have a track record of success, such as life sciences and residential development;
•continuing to raise the bar in the quality of our portfolio and actively recycling capital by selling assets, subject to market conditions, which have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by a slowdown in the capital markets, elevated interest rates, and the limited availability of private market debt financing;
•actively managing our operations in a sustainable and responsible manner; and
•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 thirdfirst quarter of 20232024 and recent business highlights.
Leasing Activity and Occupancy
In the third quarter of 2023, we signed a total of approximately 1.06 million square feet of leases with a weighted-average lease term of approximately 8.2 years. This is the second consecutive quarter that leasing has increased, underscoring the demand for premier workplaces, despite the challenging market.
The overall occupancy of our in-service premier workplace and retail properties was 88.8% at September 30, 2023, an increase of 50 basis points from June 30, 2023. We define occupancy as space with signed leases for which revenue recognition has commenced in accordance with GAAP. Including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP, our in-service premier workplace and retail properties were approximately 90.4% leased at September 30, 2023.
The macroeconomic environment has resulted in softening demand in all of our markets. While property tours continue and leases under negotiation move forward, there is less urgency from clients to make new commitments. Potential clients touring space acknowledge that economic uncertainty is impacting space decisions. We have factoredAlso impacting clients decisions are the building quality as well as the financial stability and long-term commitment of their building owners, both strong competitive advantages for BXP.
In the first quarter of 2024, we executed 61 leases totaling approximately 900,000 square feet with a weighted-average lease term of approximately 11.6 years, compared to approximately 660,500 square feet of leases executed in the impacts of a slower economy, softer business performance, and reduced demand for space into our leasing expectations for the remainder of 2023. We expect the bulk of our leasing in the lastfirst quarter of 2023 will continue to come from small-with a weighted-average lease term of approximately 7.7 years.
BXP’s CBD portfolio of premier workplaces was 91.0% occupied and medium-sized professional and financial services firms.92.8% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP) at March 31, 2024.
Approximately 89% of our share of NOI comes from assets located in our CBD portfolio, underscoring the strength of BXP’s strategy to invest in the highest quality buildings in dynamic urban gateway markets. 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 31. The overall occupancy of our in-service office and retail properties was 88.2% at March 31, 2024, a decrease of 20 basis points from December 31, 2023. We define occupancy as space with signed leases for which revenue recognition has commenced in accordance with GAAP. 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 89.9% leased at March 31, 2024.
Investment Activity
We continually evaluate currentremain in active pursuit of opportunities in our core markets and prospective markets for possible acquisitionsasset types with primarily two types of “value-add”counterparties: lenders to highly leveraged assets that require lease-up or repositioning,recapitalization and acquisitionsinstitutional owners seeking to diversify from the office asset class. To date, there has been limited market transaction activity for higher-quality office assets. With lenders, there are fewer premier workplaces that are otherwise consistentstruggling with our long-term strategy of owning, managing, developing,leverage, and improvingin the few cases involving premier workplaces, lenders are generally electing to extend loans to borrowers who agree to invest modestly in each oftheir assets. Institutional owners are less interested in selling their higher quality assets, and there remains a material bid-ask spread given assets have in most cases not been marked down to market clearing levels. Notwithstanding these current challenges, our chosen markets. We expect opportunities to make acquisitionsexpectations are that transactions and our investment activity will increase in this environment,coming quarters given the volume of maturing financings, continued mark downs in institutional portfolios and we remain committed to developing and acquiring assets to enhance our long-term growth and to meet current and future client demandprolonged high interest rates. We also have interest from institutional investors in co-investing with us for premier workplaces, life sciences, and residential development.select opportunities.
Consistent with this strategy, on January 8, 2024, we entered into acompleted the acquisition of our joint venture agreementpartner’s 50% economic ownership interest in the joint venture that owns 901 New York Avenue located in Washington, DC for a purchase price of $10.0 million and recorded a gain on consolidation of approximately $21.8 million. This transaction was sparked by our partner’s election to reduce their exposure to the office sector, and we agreed to purchase their interest on attractive terms. The property is encumbered by an approximately $207.1 million mortgage debt, at acquisition, which bears interest at 3.61% per annum and matures on January 5, 2025. Following the acquisition, we modified the mortgage loan to provide for two loan extension options totaling five years of additional term, each subject to certain conditions. The first loan extension option is for four years at a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per annum. We also extended an approximately 200,000 square foot lease with the anchor client through 2042 after the acquisition. 901 New York Avenue is a premier workplace consisting of approximately 524,000 net rentable square feet.
Also, on March 21, 2024, we completed the previously announced sale of a 45% interest in 290 Binney Street, a life sciences development located in Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to an institutional investor forinvestor. The institutional investor’s investment in 290 Binney Street will reduce our share of the futureproject’s estimated development spend over time by approximately $533.5 million, including $141.8 million that was funded at closing. The consummation of 343 Madison Avenue located on Madison Avenue between 44ththis joint venture completed the institutional investor’s two-building investment in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a gross valuation of approximately $1.66 billion or $2,050 per square foot. The properties, 290 Binney Street and 45th Streets in New York City, New York adjacent to Grand Central Station.300 Binney Street, total 802,000 net rentable square feet and are 100% pre-leased. We ownretain a 55% interest in theeach joint venture and our partner owns a 45% interest, and we will provide customary development, property management, and leasing services. The 343 Madison Avenue project contemplates the construction of (1) a direct entrance to the Long Island Railroad’s new east side access project (Grand Central Madison) (“Phase 1”) and (2) an approximately 900,000 square foot premier workplace building with ground floor retail (“Phase 2”). The joint venture executed an up to 99-year ground lease with the Metropolitan Transportation Authorityservices for the approximately 25,000 square foot site. The ground lease requires the joint venture to construct Phase 1 of the development project. The joint venture has the option until July 31, 2025 to terminate the ground lease prior to construction of the new building and receive reimbursement of up to $117.0 million for the cost of the construction of Phase 1. There can be no assurance that Phase 1 will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or that Phase 2 of the development project will commence on the terms and schedule currently contemplated or at all.
A joint venture in which we owned a 20% equity interest (with an institutional investor owning the remaining 80%) completed a restructuring of the ownership in Metropolitan Square, which resulted in (i) an affiliate of the existing mezzanine lender purchasing the property, and (ii) us becoming a co-lender of up to $20.0 million under a new $100.0 million mezzanine loan. The transaction also resulted in, among other things, (i) the cessation of our obligation to fund future investments through our then 20% equity interest, which caused us to recognize a third quarter gain on investment of approximately $35.8 million related to our deficit investment balance, and (ii) the removal of the property from our in-service portfolio. Prior to the restructuring, the property was encumbered by an aggregate of $420.0 million of debt, consisting of a senior loan with an outstanding principal balance of $305.0 million senior loan and the existing $115.0 million mezzanine loan. The new mezzanine loan, which is subordinate only to the senior loan, may be drawn upon for future lease-up, operating and other costs on an as needed basis, and amounts borrowed will bear interest at a per annum rate of 12%, compounded monthly. In addition, we will continue to provide property management and leasing services to the property with the potential to earn additional incentive fees. Metropolitan Square is an approximately 657,000 square foot premier workplace located at 655 15th Street, NW in the heart of downtown Washington, DC.ventures.
As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our development/redevelopment pipeline consisted of 11 properties that, when completed, we expect will total approximately 2.83.2 million net rentable square feet. Our share of the estimated total cost for these projects is approximately $2.4$2.6 billion, of which approximately $1.4 billion remains to be invested. The commercial space in the pipeline, which excludes Skymark (formerly Reston Next Residential), is 52%the residential projects, was 54% pre-leased as of October 30, 2023.
In the third quarter of 2023, we completed and fully placed in-service two development projects:
•140 Kendrick Street - Building A, an approximately 104,000 square foot property in Needham, Massachusetts. 140 Kendrick is the first Net Zero, Carbon Neutral office repositioning of its scale in Massachusetts. The property is 100% leased.
•751 Gateway, an approximately 231,000 square foot laboratory/life sciences property in South San Francisco, California in which BXP has a 49% interest. The property is 100% leased.May 2, 2024.
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. However, the asset sale market for all real estate asset classes has slowed dramatically with the increase inwhile interest rates remain elevated and transaction volume for office assets continues to be minimal in the U.S.

Client demand in the San Francisco CBD had increased more than 50% since the fourth quarter of 2022 with new technology demand responsible for much of the increase.

Given the potential and recent growth of these organizations, we would expect this demand to center on the well-built technology sublet space that is readily available in the San Francisco market. San Francisco is the leading labor market for AI jobs followed by New York and Seattle.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20222023 contains a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.

At September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, we owned or had joint venture interests in a portfolio of 190187 and 193192 commercial real estate properties, respectively (in each case, the “Total Property Portfolio”). As a result of changes within our Total Property Portfolio, the financial data presented below shows significant changes in revenue and expenses from period-to-period. Accordingly, we do not believe that our period-to-period financial data with respect to the Total Property Portfolio provides a complete understanding of our operating results. Therefore, the comparison of operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 show separately the changes attributable to the properties that were owned by us and in-service throughout each period compared (the “Same Property Portfolio”) and the changes attributable to the properties included in the Acquired, Placed In-Service, In or Held for Development or Redevelopment or Sold Portfolios.
In our analysis of operating results, particularly to make comparisons of NOInet operating income between periods more meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us and in-service through the end of the latest period presented as our Same Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio therefore excludes properties acquired, placed in-service or in or held for development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented.
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income attributable to Boston Properties, 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, impairment loss, from unconsolidated joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services
contracts and corporate general and administrative expense less (2) unrealized gain on non-real estate investment, gains (losses) from investments in securities, other income - assignment fee, interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate,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 Boston Properties, 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.
We believe that in order to understand our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. or net income attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The gains on sales of real estate and depreciationDepreciation 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 gains on sales of real estate and depreciation expense 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.
Comparison of the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023
The table below shows selected operating information for the Same Property Portfolio and the Total Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio consists of 126130 properties totaling approximately 38.340.8 million net rentable square feet, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures. The Same Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in-service on or prior to January 1, 20222023 and owned and in servicein-service through September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024. The Total Property Portfolio includes the effects of the other properties either acquired, placed in-service, in or held for development or redevelopment after January 1, 20222023 or disposed of on or prior to September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024. This table includes a reconciliation from the Same Property Portfolio to the Total Property Portfolio by also providing information for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 with respect to the properties that were acquired, placed in-service, in or held for development or redevelopment or sold. We did not sell any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

_______________ (1)Average Monthly Rental Rate is calculated as the average of the quotients obtained by dividing (A) rental revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, by (B) the number of occupied units for each month within the applicable fiscal period.
(2)Average Physical Occupancy is defined as (1) the average number of occupied units divided by (2) the total number of units, expressed as a percentage.
(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“Market Rents” used by us in calculating Average 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.

In general, transaction costs relating to the formation of new joint ventures and the pursuit of other transactions are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
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.

Direct Reimbursements of Payroll and Related Costs From Management Services Contracts and Payroll and Related Costs From Management Service Contracts
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.

Gains (Losses) from Investments in Securities
Gains (losses)Gain from investments in securities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 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 the deferred compensation plans, each officer or non-employee director who is eligible to participate is permitted to defer a portion of the officer’s current income or the non-employee director’s compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on these deferrals based on the performance of specific investments selected by the officer or non-employee director. 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 BXP’s officers or former non-employee directors under our deferred compensation plans with equivalent assets and thereby limit our market risk. The performance of these investments is recorded as gains (losses) from investments in securities. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, we recognized gains (losses) of approximately $2.3 million and $(8.5)$1.7 million, respectively, on these investments. By comparison, our general and administrative expense increased (decreased) by approximately $2.3 million and $(8.5)$1.7 million during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, respectively, as a result of increases (decreases) in our liability under our deferred compensation plans that was associated with the performance of the specific investments selected by officers and former non-employee directors of BXP participating in the plans.

_______________ (1)Average Monthly Rental Rate is calculated as the average of the quotients obtained by dividing (A) rental revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, by (B) the number of occupied units for each month within the applicable fiscal period.
(2)Average Physical Occupancy is defined as (1) the average number of occupied units divided by (2) the total number of units, expressed as a percentage.
(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 Average 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.

In general, transaction costs relating to the formation of new joint ventures and the pursuit of other transactions are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation expense referenced above.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.

Under the deferred compensation plans, each officer or non-employee director who is eligible to participate is permitted to defer a detailed discussionportion of NOI, including the reasons management believes NOIofficer’s current income or the non-employee director’s compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on these deferrals based on the performance of specific investments selected by the officer or non-employee director. In order to reduce our market risk relating to these plans, we typically acquire, in a separate account that is usefulnot restricted as to investors, see page 71.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 BXP’s officers or former non-employee directors 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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized gains of approximately $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, on these investments. By comparison, our general and administrative expense increased by approximately $2.3 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as a result of increases in our liability under our deferred compensation plans that was associated with the performance of the specific investments selected by officers and former non-employee directors of BXP participating in the plans.

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership, as applicable, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, plus (1) net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense, unrealized loss on non-real estate investment, losses from investments in securities, loss from unconsolidated joint ventures, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, payroll and related costs from management services contracts and corporate general and administrative expense less (2) interest and other income (loss), gains on sales of real estate, 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 (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) 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.
We believe that in order to understand our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. or net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

_______________ (1)Average Monthly Rental Rate is calculated as the average of the quotients obtained by dividing (A) rental revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP, by (B) the number of occupied units for each month within the applicable fiscal period.
(2)Average Physical Occupancy is defined as (1) the average number of occupied units divided by (2) the total number of units, expressed as a percentage.
(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“Market Rents” used by us in calculating Average 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.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense
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.

Direct Reimbursements of Payroll and Related Costs From Management Services Contracts and Payroll and Related Costs From Management Service Contracts
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.

Gains on Sales of Real Estate
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.

Interest and Other Income (Loss)
Interest and other income (loss) increased by approximately $17.0$3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 compared to 2022,2023, due primarily to an increase of approximately $17.1 million in interest income from increased interest earned on our deposits partially offset by an increase in our allowance for current expected credit losses of approximately $0.1 million.deposits.
LossesGains from Investments in Securities
LossesGain from investments in securities for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 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 the deferred compensation plans, each officer or non-employee director who is eligible to participate is permitted to defer a portion of the officer’s current income or the
non-employee director’s compensation on a pre-tax basis and receive a tax-deferred return on these deferrals based on the performance of specific investments selected by the officer or non-employee director. 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 BXP’s officers or former non-employee directors under our deferred compensation plans with equivalent assets and thereby limit our market risk. The performance of these investments is recorded as lossesgains from investments in securities. During the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, we recognized lossesgains of approximately $0.9$2.3 million and $1.6$1.7 million, respectively, on these investments. By comparison, our general and administrative expense decreasedincreased by approximately $0.9$2.3 million and $1.6$1.7 million during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, respectively, as a result of decreasesincreases in our liability under our deferred compensation plans that was associated with the performance of the specific investments selected by officers and former non-employee directors of BXP participating in the plans.
Unrealized LossGain on Non-Real Estate Investment
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we began investingWe invest in non-real estate investments, which are primarily environmentally-focused investment funds. As a result, for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized an unrealized lossgain of approximately $51,000 $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively,due to the observable changes in the fair value of the investments.
Impairment Loss
At March 31, 2024, we evaluated the expected hold period for a portion of our Shady Grove property located in Rockville, Maryland. Based on a shorter-than-expected hold period, we reduced the carrying value of a portion of the property that we anticipate selling to a third party developer to its estimated fair value at March 31, 2024. As a result, each of BXP and BPLP recognized an impairment loss of approximately $13.6 million. Our estimated fair value was based on Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820 and on a pending offer from a third party.

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 three months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023 and 2022 was approximately $9.7$9.4 million and $12.2$10.6 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the interest expense referenced above.
At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our variable rate debt consisted of (1) BPLP’s $1.815 billion Revolving Facility under its 2021 Credit Facility, and(2) BPLP’s $1.2 billion 2023 Unsecured Term Loan.Loan and (3) $900 million of mortgage notes collateralized by Santa Monica Business Park and our 325 Main Street, 355 Main Street, 90 Broadway and Kendall Center Green Garage properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond are to:
•fund normal recurring expenses;
•meet debt service and principal repayment obligations and balloon payments on maturing debt, including the $1.2 billion$700.0 million outstanding on the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan, maturingthe maturity date of which we intend to extend to May 16, 2024 (unless we exercise the one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions) and $7002025, $850.0 million of 3.800%3.200% unsecured senior notes due February 1, 2024;January 15, 2025 and amounts that become due under BPLP’s commercial paper program;
•fund development and redevelopment costs;
•fund capital expenditures, including major renovations, tenant improvements and leasing costs;
•fund pending and possible acquisitions of properties, either directly or indirectly through the acquisition of equity interests; and
•make the minimum distribution required to enable BXP to maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
We expect to satisfy these needs using one or more of the following:
•cash flow from operations;
•distribution of cash flows from joint ventures;
•cash and cash equivalent balances;
•borrowings under BPLP’s Revolving2021 Credit Facility, unsecured term loans, short-term bridge facilities and construction loans;
•long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness (including unsecured exchangeable indebtedness);
•sales of real estate and interests in joint ventures owning real estate;
•private equity sources, including with large institutional investors; and
•issuances of BXP equity securities and/or preferred or common units of partnership interests in BPLP.
We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. We expect to fund our current development/redevelopment properties primarily with our available cash balances, funding from institutional private equity partners, construction loans, unsecured term loans, and proceeds from possible asset sales, BPLP’s 2021 Credit Facility and BPLP’s Revolving Facility.BPLP's commercial paper program. We use BPLP’s Revolving2021 Credit Facility primarily as a bridge facility to fund acquisition opportunities, refinance outstanding indebtedness and meet short-term development and working capital needs. Although we may seek to fund our development projects with construction loans, which may require guarantees by BPLP, the financing for each particular project ultimately depends on several factors, including, among others, the project’s size and duration, whether the project is owned by a joint venture, the extent of pre-leasing, our available cash and access to cost effective capital at the given time.

Lease revenue (which includes reimbursement of operating expenses from clients, if any), other income from operations, available cash balances, proceeds from mortgage financings, and offerings of unsecured indebtedness and BPLP's commercial paper program, draws on BPLP’s Revolving2021 Credit Facility, and funding from institutional private equity partners are the principal sources of capital that we use to fund operating expenses, debt service, development and redevelopment activities, maintenance and repositioning capital expenditures, tenant improvements and the minimum distribution required to enable BXP to maintain its REIT qualification. We seek to maximize income from our existing properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing client turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our sources of revenue also include third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, development and construction businesses, as well asinterest earned on cash deposits and, from time to time, the sale of assets from time to time.assets. We believe these sources of capital will continue to provide the funds necessary for our short-term liquidity needs. Material adverse changes in one or more sources of capital may adversely affect our net cash flows.
We expect our primary uses of capital over the next twelve months will be to fund our current and committed development and redevelopment projects, repay debt maturities (as discussed below), make interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and satisfy our REIT distribution requirements.

Subsequently, on August 1, 2023, the joint venture executed an up to 99-year ground lease with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the approximately 25,000 square foot site. The joint venture has the option until July 31, 2025 to terminate the ground lease prior to construction of the new building and receive reimbursement of up to $117.0 million for the cost of the construction of Phase 1. There can be no assurance that Phase 1 will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or that Phase 2 of the development project will commence on the terms and schedule currently contemplated or at all.
Since June 30, 2023,2024, we further strengthened our balance sheet by addressing the remaining 2023 debt maturities, andthrough sourcing additional liquidity in the bank market.and reducing our debt obligations. Notable transactions include:
•We exercisedOn February 1, 2024, BPLP repaid at maturity its 3.800% unsecured senior notes at par utilizing the proceeds from a portion$600.0 million mortgage loan entered into on October 26, 2023 and available cash.

•On April 16, 2024, BPLP provided notice to exercise its one-year extension option on its 2023 Unsecured Term Loan. BPLP anticipates effectuating the extension on or prior to the current May 16, 2024 maturity date. Upon effectiveness, the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan will mature on May 16, 2025. After making an approximately $500.0 million optional repayment on April 29, 2024 with the proceeds from BPLP's commercial paper program, the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan has an outstanding principal balance of $700.0 million.
•On April 17, 2024, BPLP established an unsecured commercial paper program.

The loan now matures on September 5, 2024, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
•A joint venture in which we have a 50% interest modified the loan collateralized by its Hub on Causeway - Podium property located in Boston, Massachusetts.

interest rate swap contracts resulting in a weighted-average fixed rate of approximately 7.35% per annum through September 8, 2025.
•A joint venture in which we have a 25% interest exercised its second extension option with the lender, an affiliate of ours, under the land loan collateralized by the land and improvements at its 3 Hudson Boulevard property located in New York, New York.

•On October 26, 2023, we closed on a mortgage loan collateralized by our 325 Main Street, 355 Main Street, 90 Broadway and Cambridge East Garage (also known as Kendall Center Green Garage) properties located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The mortgage loan, totaling $600 million, requires interest-only payments at Daily Compounded SOFR plus 2.25% per annum until maturity on October 26, 2028. We intend to use the net proceeds from this financing and available cash to repay the $700 million of 3.800% unsecured senior notes due February 1,May 2, 2024.
Our 2024consolidated debt maturities through May 2025 include $700.0(1) $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of BPLP’s 3.800%3.200% unsecured senior notes which mature on February 1, 2024 and the $1.2 billiondue January 15, 2025, (2) $700.0 million 2023 Unsecured Term Loan that matures on May 16, 20242025 upon effectiveness of our extension option, (3) approximately $202.2 million of mortgage debt secured by our 901 New York Avenue property located in Washington, DC maturing on January 5, 2025 (unless we exercise the one-yeara four-year extension option, subject to certain conditions). In and (4) amounts that become due under BPLP’s commercial paper program.
As of March 31, 2024, our unconsolidated joint venture portfolio we have approximately $405.4$469.0 million (our share) of debt maturing in 2024.through May 2, 2025. We expect to fund the foregoing debt maturities using available cash
balances, proceeds from asset sales, draws on BPLP’s Revolving2021 Credit Facility, exercising extension options, and/or through refinancings usingproceeds from BPLP’s commercial paper program, secured debt or unsecured debt, or both. We expect our quarterly net interest expense will increase for the remainder of 2023 and intoin 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to the cessation of capitalized interest on our 2023 development deliveries, higher interest rates on maturingoutstanding debt and debt that we refinance, the impact of non-cash interest charges related to recent acquisitions, which included the assumption of below market debt, and lower interest income as we use cash balances to repay debt and fund our development pipeline.
As of October 30, 2023,May 2, 2024, we had available cash of approximately $1.4 billion$502.5 million (of which approximately $93$125.9 million is attributable to our consolidated joint venture partners). Our liquidity and capital resources depend on a wide range of factors, and we believe that our access to capital and our strong liquidity, including the approximately $1.8$2.0 billion available under BPLP’s Revolving2021 Credit Facility, of which $500.0 million is being used as a backstop for the commercial paper program, and our available cash, as of October 30, 2023,May 2, 2024, are sufficient to fund our remaining capital requirementsneeds on existing development and redevelopment projects, fund acquisitions, repay our maturing indebtedness when due (if not refinanced or extended), satisfy our REIT distribution requirements and still allow us to act opportunistically on attractive investment opportunities.
We may seek to enhance our liquidity to fund our current and future development activity, pursue additional attractive investment opportunities and refinance or repay indebtedness. Depending on interest rates, the overall conditions in the public and private debt and equity markets, and our leverage at the time, we may decide to access one or more of these capital sources. Doing so may result in us carrying additional cash and cash equivalents pending our use of the proceeds, which would increase our net interest expense.
On May 17, 2023, BXP renewed its ATM stock offering program through which it may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $600.0 million of its Common Stock through sales agents over a three-year period. Under the ATM stock offering program, BXP may also engage in forward sale transactions with affiliates of certain sales agents for the sale of its Common Stock on a forward basis. BXP intends to use the net proceeds from any offering for general business purposes, which may include investment opportunities and debt reduction. We have not sold any shares under this ATM stockBXP’s $600.0 million “at the market” equity offering program.
REIT Tax Distribution Considerations
Dividend
BXP as a REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that BXP currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income (excluding capital gains and with certain other adjustments). Our policy is for BXP to distribute at least 100% of its taxable income, including capital gains, to avoid paying federal tax. Common and LTIP unitholders (other than unearned MYLTIP units) of limited partnership interest in BPLP receive the same distribution per unit that is paid per share of BXP common stock.
BXP’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate BXP’s dividend rate in light of our actual and projected taxable income (including gains on sales), liquidity requirements and other circumstances, and there can be no assurance that the future dividends declared by BXP’s Board of Directors will not differ materially from the current quarterly dividend amount.
Sales
To the extent that we sell assets at a gain and cannot efficiently use the proceeds in a tax deferred manner for either our development activities or attractive acquisitions, BXP would, at the appropriate time, decide whether it is better to declare a special dividend, adopt a stock repurchase program, reduce indebtedness or retain the cash for future investment opportunities. Such a decision will depend on many factors including, among others, the timing, availability and terms of development and acquisition opportunities, our then-current and anticipated leverage, the cost and availability of capital from other sources, the price of BXP’s common stock and REIT distribution requirements. At a minimum, we expect that BXP would distribute at least that amount of proceeds necessary for BXP to avoid paying corporate level tax on the applicable gains realized from any asset sales.
From time to time in select cases, whether due to a change in use, structuring issues to comply with applicable REIT regulations or other reasons, we may sell an asset that is held by a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Such a sale by a TRS would be subject to federal and local taxes.
Cash Flow Summary
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.
Cash and cash equivalents and cash held in escrows aggregated approximately $930.4$766.6 million and $448.9$964.3 million at September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, respectively, representing an increasea decrease of approximately $481.6$197.6 million.

| Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (756,909) | | | 279,052 | | | (1,035,961) | |
Our principal source of cash flow is related to the operation of our properties. The weighted-average term of our in-place leases, including leases signed by our unconsolidated joint ventures, excluding residential units, was approximately 7.6 years as of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, with occupancy rates historically in the range of 88% to 92%. Generally, our properties generate a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund regular quarterly dividend and distribution payment requirements. In addition, over the past several years, we have raised capital through the sale of some of our properties and through secured and unsecured borrowings.
Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development, net investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and maintenance and repositioning capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings to enhance or maintain our market position.

Consolidated Debt to Consolidated Market Capitalization Ratio is a measure of leverage commonly used by analysts in the REIT sector. We present this measure as a percentage and it is calculated by dividing (A) our consolidated debt by (B) our consolidated market capitalization, which is the market value of our outstanding equity securities plus our consolidated debt. Consolidated market capitalization is the sum of:
(1) our consolidated debt; plus
(2) the product of (x) the closing price per share of BXP Common Stockcommon stock on September 29, 2023,March 28, 2024, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, multiplied by (y) the sum of:
(i) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stockcommon stock of BXP,
(ii) the number of outstanding OP Units in BPLP (excluding OP Units held by BXP),
(iii) the number of OP Units issuable upon conversion of all outstanding LTIP Units, assuming all conditions have been met for the conversion of the LTIP Units, and
(iv) the number of OP Units issuable upon conversion of 2012 OPP Units, and 2013 - 20202021 MYLTIP Units that were issued in the form of LTIP Units.
The calculation of consolidated market capitalization does not include LTIP Units issued in the form of MYLTIP Awards unless and until certain performance thresholds are achieved and they are earned. Because their three-year performance periods have not yet ended, 20212022 - 20232024 MYLTIP Units are not included in this calculation as of September 30, 2023.
We also present BXP’s Share of Market Capitalization and BXP’s Share of Debt/BXP’s Share of Market Capitalization, which are calculated in the same manner, except that BXP’s Share of Debt is utilized instead of our consolidated debt in both the numerator and the denominator. BXP’s Share of Debt is defined as our consolidated debt plus our share of debt from our unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon our ownership percentage), minus our partners’ share of debt from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests adjusted for basis differentials). Management believes that BXP’s Share of Debt provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition because it includes our share of debt from unconsolidated joint ventures and excludes our partners’ share of debt from consolidated joint ventures, in each case presented on the same basis. We have several significant joint ventures and presenting various measures of financial condition in this manner can help investors better understand our financial condition and/or results of operations after taking into account our economic interest in these joint ventures. We caution investors that the ownership percentages used in calculating BXP’s Share of Debt may not completely and accurately depict all of the legal and economic implications of holding an interest in a consolidated or unconsolidated joint venture. For example, in addition to partners’ interests in profits and capital, venture agreements vary in the allocation of rights regarding decision making (both for routine and major decisions), distributions, transferability of interests, financing and guarantees, liquidations and other matters. Moreover, in some cases we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture in which case GAAP requires that we account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting and we do not consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires that we consolidate the venture even though our partner(s) own(s) a significant percentage interest. As a result, management believes that the presentation of BXP’s Share of a financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered with and as a supplement to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
We present these supplemental ratios because our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes and because different investors and lenders consider one or both of these ratios. Investors should understand that these ratios are, in part, a function of the market price of the common stock of BXP and as such will fluctuate with changes in such price, and they do not necessarily reflect our capacity to incur additional debt to finance our activities or our ability to manage our existing debt obligations. However, for a company like BXP, whose assets are primarily income-producing real estate, these ratios may provide investors with an alternate indication of leverage, so long as they are evaluated along with the ratio of indebtedness to other measures of asset value used by financial analysts and other financial ratios, as well as the various components of our outstanding indebtedness.

(1)The GAAP interest rate differs from the stated interest rate due to the inclusion of the amortization of financing charges, and the effects of hedging transactions (if any) and adjustments required under Accounting Standards Codification 805 “Business Combinations” to reflect loans and swaps at their fair values (if any).
(2)Deferred financing costs, net includes an approximately $6.5 million fair value interest adjustment. The loan includes two extension options, subject to certain conditions.
(3)The mortgage loan requires interest only payments with a balloon payment due at maturity.
(3)(4)The mortgage loan bears interest at a variable rate of SOFR plus 1.38% per annum. The borrower under the loan entered into three interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $300.0 million to fix SOFR at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 2.679% for the period commencing on February 1, 2023 and ending on April 1, 2025. Stated interest rate reflects the weighted average fixed interest rate based on the interest rate swap contracts plus 1.38% per annum. Deferred financing costs, net includes an approximately $3.6 million fair value interest adjustment and excludes the adjustment required to reflect the interest rate swap at fair value upon acquisition of approximately $5.7 million.
(5)The mortgage loan bears interest at a variable rate of Daily Compounded SOFR plus 2.25% per annum. On December 7, 2023, BPLP entered into three interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $600.0 million to fix Daily Compounded SOFR at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.7925% for the period commencing on December 15, 2023 and ending on October 26, 2028. Stated interest rate reflects the weighted average fixed interest rate based on the interest rate swap contracts plus 2.25% per annum.
(6)This property is owned by a consolidated entity in which we have a 60% interest. The partners’ share of the carrying amount has been adjusted for basis differentials.
(4)(7)In connection with the refinancing of the loan, we guaranteed the consolidated entity’s obligation to fund various reserves for tenant improvement costs and allowances, leasing commissions and free rent obligations in lieu of cash deposits. As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the maximum funding obligation under the guarantee was approximately $10.0$8.5 million. We earn a fee from the joint venture for providing the guarantee and have an agreement with our partners to reimburse the joint venture for their share of any payments made under the guarantee (See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
As of March 31, 2024, we had $2.1 billion of interest rate swaps outstanding, where hedge accounting was elected, with a fair value of approximately $12.3 million. For a description of these interest rate swaps, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - Secured Debt
We have investments in unconsolidated joint ventures with our effective ownership interests ranging from 20% to 55%approximately 71%. SeventeenFourteen of these ventures have mortgage indebtedness. We exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities. As a result, we account for them using the equity method of accounting. See also Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the aggregate carrying amount of debt, including both our and our partners’ share, incurred by these ventures was approximately $4.0$3.2 billion (of which our proportionate share is approximately $1.5$1.4 billion). The table below summarizes the outstanding debt of these joint venture properties at September 30, 2023.March 31, 2024. In addition to other guarantees specifically noted in the table, we have agreed to customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) as well as the completion of development projects on certain of the loans.

State and Local Tax Matters
Because BXP is organized and qualifies as a REIT, it is generally not subject to federal income taxes, but is subject to certain state and local taxes. In the normal course of business, certain entities through which we own real estate either have undergone, or are currently undergoing, tax audits or other inquiries. Although we believe that we have substantial arguments in favor of our position in the ongoing audits, in some instances there is no controlling precedent or interpretive guidance on the specific point at issue. Collectively, tax deficiency notices received to date from the jurisdictions conducting the ongoing audits have not been material. However, there can be no assurance that future audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Insurance
For information concerning our insurance program, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Funds from Operations
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,” for each of BXP and BPLP by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership (computed in accordance with GAAP), respectively, 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 our share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and helps make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measuresmeasure 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 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 computation 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. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. and net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. or net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(2)On September 13, 2023, a joint venture in which we owned a 20% equity interest completed the first step of a two-step restructuring of the ownership in Metropolitan Square, which resulted in, among other things, (i) the cessation of our obligation to fund future investments through our then 20% equity interest, which caused us to recognize a gain on investment of approximately $35.8 million related to our deficit investment balance, which was primarily due to excess distributions, and (ii) the removal of the property from our in-service portfolio (See Notes 5 and 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements). | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Material Cash Commitments
We have various service contracts with vendors related to our property management. In addition, we have certain other contracts we enter into in the ordinary course of business that may extend beyond one year. These contracts include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties. Contract terms are generally between three and five years.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we paid approximately $127.3$83.0 million to fund tenant-related obligations, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we and our unconsolidated joint venture partners incurred approximately $36.9$117.6 million of new tenant-related obligations associated with approximately 996,700825,700 square feet of second generation leases, or approximately $37$142 per square foot. We signed approximately 59,100 68,200
square feet of first generation leases. The tenant-related obligations for the development properties are included within the projects’ “Estimated Total Investment” referred to in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” In aggregate during the thirdfirst quarter of 2023,2024, we signed leases for approximately 1.1 million893,900 square feet of space and incurred aggregate tenant-related obligations of approximately $59.9$129.6 million, or approximately $57$145 per square foot.
ITEM 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are exposed to certain market risks, one of the most predominant of which is a change in interest rates. IncreasesUnless we have entered into interest rate swaps or other derivatives to fix the interest rate, increases in interest rates can result in increased interest expense under our Revolving2021 Credit Facility, 2023 Unsecured Term Loan, certain mortgage loans and other debt that bears interest at variable rate debt to the extent we do not have interest rate swaps in place to hedge the effect of such rate increases.rates. Increases in interest rates can also result in increased interest expense when our fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced.
As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, approximately $13.8$13.3 billion of these borrowingsour indebtedness bore interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is not affected by changes in the market interest rates. The remaining $1.2$2.1 billion of outstanding borrowingsindebtedness bore interest at a variable rate.rates, including $1.2 billion under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan and $900.0 million of secured debt. However, we entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts aggregating $2.1 billion, thus fixing the variabilityinterest rates for all, or a portion of the interest rateapplicable debt term (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information pertaining to interest rate swap contracts in place as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and their respective fair values). Therefore, as of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, we have no outstanding variable rate debt that has not been subject tofixed through an interest rate swap.
The following table presents our aggregate debt obligations carrying value, estimated fair value and where applicable, the corresponding weighted-average GAAP interest rates sorted by maturity date as of March 31, 2024.
The table below does not include our unconsolidated joint venture debt. For a discussion concerning our unconsolidated joint venture debt, including interest rate swaps, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - Secured Debt.”

At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the weighted-average coupon/stated interest rates on the fixed rate debt stated above was 3.84%3.68% per annum. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, our outstanding variable rate debt totaled $1.2$2.1 billion, and all of itwhich was subject to interest rate swaps. At September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, the coupon/weighted-average stated interest rate on our variable rate debt, including the effect of the interest rate swaps, was approximately 5.592%5.56% per annum. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $3.0 million and $9.0$5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.March 31, 2024.
Our use of derivative instruments also involves certain additional risks such as counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. We believe that there is a low likelihood that these counterparties will fail to meet ourtheir obligations and we minimize our exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines. There can be no assurance that we will adequately protect against the foregoing risks.
The fair value amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions, we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

(iv)Mr. Thomas may participate as an officer or director of, or advisor to, any organization that is not engaged in commercial real estate activities (e.g., Nareit) and engage in religious, charitable or other community activities, provided that they do not materially restrict his ability to fulfill his obligations to the Company as CEO.

Severance Benefits and Retirement Eligibility
(i)Mr. Thomas’ employment with the Company is at-will, but his employment agreement provides for certain payments and benefits to him upon his separation from the Company in certain circumstances, including the following:
(1)If the employment of Mr. Thomas is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Thomas for Good Reason not in connection with a Change in Control, then Mr. Thomas will be entitled to a severance amount equal to two times the sum of (x) his base salary plus (y) the amount of his cash bonus, if any, received in respect of the immediately preceding year (but not less than his target bonus). Mr. Thomas is also entitled to a pro rata target bonus for the year of termination and an additional 24 months of vesting in his time-based equity awards, acceleration of vesting of his performance-based awards to the extent provided in the relevant award agreements, and, subject to payment of premiums at the active employees’ rate, may also participate in the Company’s health plan for up to 24 months. Receipt of these payments and benefits (other than the prorated target bonus) is subject to Mr. Thomas executing a general release of claims against the Company.
(2)If the employment of Mr. Thomas is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Thomas for Good Reason upon or within 24 months after a Change in Control of the Company, then Mr. Thomas will be entitled to his pro rata target cash bonus for the year of termination and a lump sum severance amount equal to three times the sum of (x) his base salary plus (y) the amount of his average annual cash bonus for the three calendar years preceding the change in control (or his target bonus, if greater).

(ii)Because Mr. Thomas is at least 62 years of age and has completed at least ten (10) years of employment with the Company, Mr. Thomas is deemed to have satisfied the requirements for retirement eligibility and, as a result, the Agreement provides that his time-based equity awards, whether currently outstanding or granted in the future, shall be deemed to be fully vested and performance-based equity awards that are earned will vest in full (without any proration of the award based on service time). In addition, upon a Qualified Retirement, Mr. Thomas shall be entitled to a prorated portion of his annual bonus for the year in which he retires.
(iii)Mr. Thomas is not entitled to participate in any of the Company’s change in control severance plans and he is not entitled to receive any tax gross-up payments. In the event that any payment or benefit to be paid or provided to Mr. Thomas would be subject to the golden parachute excise tax under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the payments and benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the excise tax if doing so would result in a greater after-tax benefit to Mr. Thomas.
(iv)The expiration of Mr. Thomas’ agreement on December 31, 2026 (1) will not constitute or result in a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or termination of employment by Mr. Thomas for Good Reason, and the severance provisions (other than retirement eligibility and related benefits) shall not apply, and (2) will constitute a Qualified Retirement. In addition, notwithstanding the expiration of the term on December 31, 2026 and consistent with the Company’s historical practice in respect of retiring executives, in 2027 Mr. Thomas shall receive an annual equity incentive award(s) in respect of services provided during calendar year 2026, and the terms and conditions of such awards, including the grant date target value and, generally, the type(s) of awards, shall be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
Restrictive Covenants
(i)While he is an officer and until the later of (1) one year after the termination of his employment for any reason or (2) the latest date of full vesting of any performance-based equity award, Mr. Thomas is prohibited from:
(ii)participating as a significant owner or performing services in a senior leadership position of any business that owns, develops and manages primarily commercial office space real estate property at the time of termination of his employment; or
(iii)intentionally interfering with the Company’s relationships with certain of its tenants or employees, either for himself or any other business, person or entity.
(iv)The non-competition covenant shall not apply if Mr. Thomas’ employment is terminated following a Change in Control.
(v)Mr. Thomas is also subject to confidentiality requirements and post-termination litigation and regulatory cooperation obligations.
The terms “Cause,” “Change in Control,” “Good Reason” and “Qualified Retirement” have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(b)None.
(c)During the three months ended September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) adopted, terminated or modified a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
