BXP, INC. AND BOSTON PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization
BXP is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. BXP is the sole general partner of BPLP, its operating partnership, and at September 30, 2024, owned an approximate 89.6% (89.4% at December 31, 2023) general and limited partnership interest in BPLP. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to BXP and its subsidiaries, including BPLP and its consolidated subsidiaries. Partnership interests in BPLP include:
-
common units of partnership interest (also referred to as “OP Units”) and
-
long term incentive units of partnership interest (also referred to as “LTIP Units”)
Unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to OP Units exclude units held by BXP. A holder of an OP Unit may present the OP Unit to BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, BPLP is obligated to redeem the OP Unit for cash equal to the value of a share of common stock of BXP (“Common Stock”). In lieu of such cash redemption, BXP may elect to acquire the OP Unit for one share of Common Stock. 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 - 2024 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 - 2021 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 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units differ from other LTIP Units granted to employees (including the 2012 OPP Units and the 2013 - 2021 MYLTIP Units, which have been earned). Therefore, unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to LTIP Units exclude the 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units. LTIP Units (including the earned 2012 OPP Units and the earned 2013 - 2021 MYLTIP Units), whether vested or not, 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, 2024, the Company owned or had joint venture interests in a portfolio of 184 commercial real estate properties (the “Properties”) aggregating approximately 53.0 million net rentable square feet of primarily office properties, including nine properties under construction/redevelopment totaling approximately 2.7 million net rentable square feet. At September 30, 2024, the Properties consisted of:
-
162 office and life sciences properties (including six properties under construction/redevelopment);
-
14 retail properties (including one property under construction);
-
seven residential properties (including two properties under construction); and
-
one hotel.
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, 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, 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 nine entities that are VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and has determined that it is the primary beneficiary for all of these entities as of September 30, 2024.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As of September 30, 2024, BXP has identified nine 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 and (iii) 290 Binney Street and 300 Binney Street, which are currently under development / redevelopment (See Note 14).
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
As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have any unconsolidated joint ventures that are classified as VIEs.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements when valuing its financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The table below presents for September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the financial instruments that are being valued for disclosure purposes, as well as the Level at which they are categorized as 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 | ||||
| Unsecured commercial paper | Level 1 | ||||
| Investment in securities | Level 1 | ||||
| Unsecured senior notes (1) | Level 1 | ||||
| Related party note receivable | Level 3 | ||||
| Notes receivable | Level 3 | ||||
| Sales-type lease receivable | Level 3 | ||||
| Mortgage notes payable | Level 3 | ||||
| Unsecured line of credit | Level 3 | ||||
| Unsecured term loans | 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding three-month United States Treasury Bills with a maturity date of November 21, 2024 and January 30, 2024, respectively, 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 are considered short-term investments, they are reflected at amortized cost within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amortized cost of these securities were approximately $175.9 million and $302.7 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2024, the Company had $500.0 million outstanding under its unsecured commercial paper program (See Note 6). Due to their short-term maturity and stated interest rates at approximate current market rates, the fair value of outstanding commercial paper borrowings approximates the Company's carrying amount at September 30, 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 $6.7 million and $4.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The non-real estate investments utilize net asset value as the practical expedient.
Non-Recurring Fair Value
The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s non-recurring fair value financial instruments and the Company’s corresponding estimate of fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

(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, consisting of 2 Choke Cherry Road, 2094 Gaither Road and a land parcel, 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, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 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 (See Note 3).
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. The Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were 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.
The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had maintained approximately $38.9 million and $36.1 million, respectively, in separate accounts, which are not restricted as to their use. The Company recognized gains (losses) of approximately $2.2 million and $(0.9) million on its investments in the accounts associated with the Company’s deferred compensation plans during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and approximately $4.8 million and $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to the observable change in fair value.

Acquisition
On January 8, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of its joint venture partner’s 50% economic ownership interest in the joint venture that owns 901 New York Avenue, located in Washington, DC. At acquisition, the total net equity acquired was $20.0 million, which includes $10.0 million in cash that the Company paid for the joint venture partner's 50% economic ownership interest in the joint venture. The property is subject to existing mortgage indebtedness of approximately $207.1 million (See Note 6). The acquisition resulted in the Company recording a gain upon consolidation of approximately $21.8 million, which is the difference between the fair value of the previously held equity method investment immediately prior to the consolidation of $10.0 million, less the Company’s costs basis of approximately $(11.8) million. The gain on consolidation is included within income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The total net assets acquired is equal to (1) the total net equity acquired of $20.0 million, which includes $10.0 million in cash that the Company paid for the joint venture partner's 50% economic ownership interest in the joint venture plus (2) $207.1 million of debt assumed, less (3) net working capital acquired of approximately $7.1 million.

901 New York Avenue contributed approximately $24.7 million of revenue and $6.9 million of net loss to the Company for the period from January 8, 2024 through September 30, 2024. 901 New York Avenue is an office property consisting of approximately 524,000 net rentable square feet.
Development
On February 12, 2024, the Company commenced the development of a residential project at 121 Broadway Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts that is adjacent to its development projects at 290 Binney Street and 300 Binney Street. 121 Broadway will consist of 439 residential units aggregating approximately 492,000 net rentable square feet. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete development of the project on the terms and schedule currently contemplated or at all.
On April 5, 2024, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 760 Boylston Street, an approximately 118,000 net rentable square foot retail redevelopment located in Boston, Massachusetts.
On July 17, 2024, the Company partially placed in-service Reston Next Office Phase II, an approximately 90,000 net rentable square foot development project comprised of office and retail space located in Reston, Virginia.

Pending Disposition and Impairment
At March 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the expected hold period for a portion of its Shady Grove property, consisting of 2 Choke Cherry Road, 2094 Gaither Road and a land parcel, 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 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s estimated fair value was based on Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820 and on a pending offer from a third-party.
On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with the third-party developer for the sale of 2 Choke Cherry Road, 2094 Gaither Road and the land parcel for an aggregate gross sale price of approximately $24.8 million. On July 22, 2024, the Company executed an amendment to the agreement for an aggregate gross sale price of approximately $24.7 million. 2 Choke Cherry Road and 2094 Gaither Road are two vacant office properties aggregating approximately 143,000 net rentable square feet that were taken out of service and held for redevelopment. The disposition is subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions and there can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

Lessee
On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a 90-year air rights lease with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation for an approximately 61,000 square foot site at the parking garage located at 100 Clarendon Street and the concourse level of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Back Bay Station (the “Station”). The lease requires annual base rental payments of $250,000 until the commencement of construction, as defined in the lease. If the Company commences construction of a project on the site on or before August 1, 2028, then a final fixed rental payment is due in accordance with the lease at that time. After August 1, 2028, if the Company commences construction of a project on the site, then a final rental payment based on the then current fair market value will be due at that time. In addition, the lease requires annual payments of $500,000 through 2033 to fund maintenance and improvements to the Station. The Company has assumed that it will begin construction on the site on or before August 1, 2028. The incremental borrowing rate for this lease is 6.57% per annum. The net present value of the ground lease payments is approximately $23.2 million. The Company classifies this lease as an operating lease. As a result, the Company recorded a Right of Use Assets – Operating Leases and Lease Liabilities – Operating Leases of approximately $23.9 million and $23.2 million, respectively, on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2024. The ground lease had operating lease costs of approximately $87,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and approximately $0.2 million for the period from March 28, 2024 through September 30, 2024.
The following table provides a maturity analysis for the air rights operating lease as of March 28, 2024 (in thousands):

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

On February 1, 2024, BPLP repaid $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.800% senior notes due February 1, 2024. The repayment was completed with available cash and the $600.0 million proceeds from the mortgage loan entered into on October 26, 2023. The repayment price was approximately $713.3 million, which was equal to the stated principal plus approximately $13.3 million of accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repayment date. Excluding the accrued and unpaid interest, the repayment price was equal to the principal amount being repaid.
On August 26, 2024, BPLP completed a public offering of $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% unsecured senior notes due 2035. The notes were priced at 99.961% of the principal amount to yield an effective rate (including financing fees) of approximately 5.842% per annum to maturity. The notes will mature on January 15, 2035, unless earlier redeemed. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering were approximately $841.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and transaction expenses.
Unsecured Credit Facility
BPLP’s unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”) provides for borrowings of up to $2.0 billion, as described below in this Note 6, through BPLP’s revolving facility, subject to customary conditions. The 2021 Credit Facility matures on June 15, 2026 and includes a sustainability-linked pricing component. Under the 2021 Credit Facility, BPLP had the option to increase the original total commitment of $1.5 billion by up to an additional $500.0 million by increasing the amount of the Revolving Facility and/or by incurring one or more term loans, in each case, subject to syndication of the increase and other conditions (the “Accordion Option”). On September 28, 2023, BPLP exercised a portion of the Accordion Option which increased the then maximum borrowing amount under the 2021 Credit Facility from $1.5 billion to $1.815 billion. On April 29, 2024, BPLP exercised the remainder of the Accordion Option and further increased the maximum borrowing amount under the 2021 Credit Facility to $2.0 billion. All other terms of the 2021 Credit Facility remain unchanged.
At September 30, 2024, BPLP had no amount outstanding under the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility is used as a backstop for BPLP’s $500.0 million unsecured commercial paper program (See “Unsecured Commercial Paper” below). As such, BPLP intends to maintain, at a minimum, availability under the 2021 Credit Facility in an amount equal to the amount of unsecured commercial paper notes outstanding.
Unsecured Term Loans
On January 4, 2023, BPLP entered into a credit agreement that provided for a $1.2 billion unsecured term loan facility (the “2023 Unsecured Term Loan”). Upon entry into the credit agreement, BPLP exercised its option to draw $1.2 billion under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan.
On April 29, 2024, BPLP repaid $500.0 million of the outstanding balance under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan from the proceeds of its unsecured commercial paper program (See “Unsecured Commercial Paper” below). At September 30, 2024, BPLP had $700.0 million of principal outstanding under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan.
Under the credit agreement governing the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan, BPLP may, at any time prior to the maturity date, increase total commitments by up to an additional $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount by increasing the existing 2023 Unsecured Term Loan or incurring one or more additional term loans, in each case, subject to syndication of the increase and other conditions. The 2023 Unsecured Term Loan had an initial maturity date of May 16, 2024, with one 12-month extension option, subject to customary conditions. On May 16, 2024, BPLP exercised its option to extend the maturity date of the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan to May 16, 2025. All other terms of the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan remain unchanged.
On September 27, 2024, BPLP entered into a credit agreement that provides for a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “2024 Unsecured Term Loan”) with a lender (the “Lender”) under the mortgage loan collateralized by the Company’s Santa Monica Business Park properties located in Santa Monica, California (the “SMBP Loan”). Upon entry into the credit agreement, BPLP exercised its option to draw $100.0 million under the 2024 Unsecured Term Loan. The proceeds were used to repay the portion of the SMBP Loan held by the Lender. After the repayment, the SMBP Loan had a remaining principal balance of $200.0 million (See Note 14). The 2024 Unsecured Term Loan matures on September 26, 2025 with three, one-year extension options, subject to customary conditions.
At BPLP’s option, loans under the 2024 Unsecured Term Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) zero, (b) Prime Rate, (c) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (d) Term SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.10%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0 to 60 basis points based on BPLP’s credit rating; or (2) a rate equal to adjusted Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR with a one-month period plus a margin ranging from 75 to 160 basis points based on BPLP’s credit rating.
Based on BPLP’s September 30, 2024 credit rating, the 2024 Unsecured Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.05% per annum. The 2024 Unsecured Term Loan is subject to an existing interest rate swap to fix Daily Simple SOFR at a fixed rate of approximately 2.688% per annum for a period that ends on April 1, 2025 (See Note 7). At September 30, 2024, BPLP had $100.0 million of principal outstanding under the 2024 Unsecured Term Loan.
The 2023 and 2024 Unsecured Term Loans contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default provisions, including the failure to pay indebtedness, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy and other insolvency events, which could result in the acceleration of the obligation to repay any outstanding amount under the 2023 and 2024 Unsecured Term Loans. Among other covenants, the 2023 and 2024 Unsecured Term Loans require that BPLP maintain on an ongoing basis: (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the leverage ratio may increase to no greater than 65% provided that it is reduced back to 60% within one year, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 55%, (3) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.40 to 1.00, (4) an unsecured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the unsecured debt leverage ratio may increase to no greater than 65% provided that it is reduced to 60% within one year, (5) an unsecured debt interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00 and (6) limitations on permitted investments. At September 30, 2024, BPLP was in compliance with each of these financial and other covenant requirements.
Unsecured Commercial Paper
On April 17, 2024, BPLP established an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program, BPLP may issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any one time of $500.0 million with varying maturities of up to one year. Amounts available
under the unsecured commercial paper program may be borrowed, repaid, and re-borrowed from time to time. The notes are sold in private placements and rank pari passu with all of BPLP’s other unsecured senior indebtedness, including its outstanding senior notes. The commercial paper program is backstopped by available capacity under the 2021 Credit Facility. At September 30, 2024, BPLP had an aggregate of $500.0 million of unsecured commercial paper notes outstanding that bore interest at a weighted-average rate of approximately 5.22% per annum and had a weighted-average maturity of 34 days from the issuance date.
7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
BPLP’s agreements with derivative counterparties contain provisions whereby if BPLP defaults on the underlying indebtedness, including defaults where repayment of 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, 2024, the Company had not posted any collateral related to the agreements.
Effective Hedge Instruments
BPLP assesses the effectiveness of its derivatives both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If the hedges are deemed to be effective, the fair value is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and is subsequently reclassified into “Interest expense” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. BPLP’s derivative financial instruments are cash flow hedges that are designated as effective hedges, and they are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 2). The Company did not incur ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
BPLP’s and SMBP LLC’s derivative contracts consisted of the following at September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
| Derivative Instrument | Aggregate Notional Amount | Strike Rate Range | Balance Sheet Location | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(2)Includes amounts from previous interest rate programs.
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 same third-party to purchase and sell a $600.0 million interest rate cap. The Company did not elect hedge accounting, and as such, any change in market value will be recognized in Gain (losses) from interest rate contracts in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized no impact to its 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 the Company’s subsidiaries to pay 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 $21.0 million at September 30, 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 venture. 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 receive 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 third-party 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, 2024, the maximum funding obligation under the guarantee was approximately $6.4 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, 2024, no amounts related to the guarantee were recorded as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In connection with the sale of Metropolitan Square, an approximately 657,000 square foot office building in Washington, DC in which the Company had a 20% equity interest, the Company 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 bear interest at a per annum rate of 12%, compounded monthly. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has funded approximately $3.9 million under the mezzanine loan.
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal 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 an office property in New York City in 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with the seller pursuant to which the seller 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. In 2020, the seller filed suit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, claiming that consideration significantly in excess of the initial reserve amount is owed under the agreement. 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 calculations. In February 2024, the court granted the seller’s motion for summary judgement interpreting certain sections of the agreement in favor of the seller’s claims. The Company is disputing the seller’s calculations and intends to continue defending itself vigorously. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuit. If the court ultimately agrees with the seller’s calculations, then amounts due to the seller could theoretically be as high as the additional $31 million claimed in the seller’s complaint, plus interest. Although the Company disputes 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 573,000 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 it has meritorious defenses against Brammer’s claims and intends to defend against them vigorously. However, there can be no assurance the Company will prevail in the litigation. If the Company 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 schedule contemplated by the Company’s lease with AstraZeneca or at 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.
On May 16, 2024, Brammer’s motion for a preliminary injunction was denied by the trial court. Brammer subsequently appealed that decision, electing pursuant to Massachusetts civil procedure rules to petition for appeals to both a single justice of the Massachusetts Appeals Court and to a full appellate panel. On July 16, 2024, the single justice assigned to the appeal issued an order declining to rule on the substance of the appeal petition, which means that the appeal will be decided by the full panel. A date has not yet been set for the full panel hearing.
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 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, financial condition and results of operations.
9. Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests relate to the interests in BPLP not owned by BXP and interests in consolidated property partnerships not wholly-owned by the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the noncontrolling interests in BPLP consisted of the following:
| OP Units | LTIP Units (1) | 2022 MYLTIP Units | 2023 MYLTIP Units | 2024 MYLTIP Units | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15,926,014 | 2,336,797 | 252,151 | 322,053 | 330,479 |
(1)Includes 617,961 LTIP Units earned by employees under the Company’s multi-year long-term incentive awards granted between 2012 and 2021 (i.e., 2012 OPP and 2013 - 2021 MYLTIP awards).
Noncontrolling Interest—Common Units
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 951,881 OP Units were presented by the holders for redemption (including an aggregate of 105,814 OP Units issued upon conversion of LTIP Units, 2012 OPP Units and MYLTIP Units) and were redeemed by BXP in exchange for an equal number of shares of Common Stock.
At September 30, 2024, BPLP had outstanding the 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units. Prior to the end of the respective three-year performance period for each plan, holders of MYLTIP Units are entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth (10%) of the regular quarterly distributions payable on an OP Unit, but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. After the three-year performance period for each plan has ended, (1) the number of MYLTIP Units, both vested and unvested, that MYLTIP award recipients have earned, if any, based on the establishment of a performance pool, will be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per unit equal to distributions, both regular and special, payable on an OP Unit and (2) with respect to the 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units, the Company will make a “catch-up” cash payment on the MYLTIP Units that are ultimately earned in an amount equal to the regular and special dividends, if any, declared during the performance period on a number of shares of Common Stock agreed to the number of 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units that are earned, less the distributions actually paid during the performance period on all of the awarded 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units.
On February 1, 2024, the measurement period for the Company’s 2021 MYLTIP awards ended and, based on BXP’s absolute and relative TSR performance, the final payout was determined to be 112% of target, or an aggregate of approximately $12.6 million (after giving effect to employee separations). As a result, an aggregate of 155,625 2021 MYLTIP Units that had been previously granted were automatically forfeited.
The following table presents BPLP’s distributions on the OP Units and LTIP Units and MYLTIP Units paid or declared in 2024 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
| Record Date | Payment Date | Distributions per OP Unit and LTIP Unit | Distributions per MYLTIP Unit | |||||||||||||||||
| September 30, 2024 | October 31, 2024 | $0.98 | $0.098 | |||||||||||||||||

A holder of an OP Unit may present the OP Unit to BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, BPLP must redeem the OP Unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of Common Stock of BXP. BXP may, in its sole discretion, elect to assume and satisfy the redemption obligation by paying either cash or issuing one share of Common Stock. The value of the OP Units (other than OP Units owned by BXP), and LTIP Units (including the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 2021 MYLTIP Units), assuming in each case that all conditions had been met for the conversion thereof, had all of such units been redeemed at September 30, 2024 was approximately $1.5 billion
based on the last reported price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $80.46 per share on September 30, 2024.
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 $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are included in Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On March 21, 2024, the Company completed the sale of a 45% interest in 290 Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The institutional investor funded approximately $97.2 million in cash at closing, which is less than 45% of the agreed upon carrying value of the property immediately prior to the 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 will fund the development project based on their respective ownership interests. The Company retains a 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 the 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustment was approximately $(27.1) million and $7.8 million, respectively.
290 Binney Street is an approximately 573,000 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.
10. Stockholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital
As of September 30, 2024, BXP had 157,979,898 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
As of September 30, 2024, BXP owned 1,762,427 general partnership units and 156,217,471 limited partnership units in BPLP.
On May 17, 2023, BXP renewed its “at the market” (“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. This program replaced BXP’s prior $600.0 million ATM stock offering program that was scheduled to expire on May 22, 2023. BXP intends to use the net proceeds from any offering for general business purposes, which may include investment opportunities and debt reduction. No shares of Common Stock have been issued under this ATM stock offering program.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, BXP issued 951,881 shares of Common Stock in connection with the redemption of an equal number of redeemable OP Units from limited partners.
The following table presents BXP’s dividends per share and BPLP’s distributions per OP Unit and LTIP Unit paid or declared in 2024 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss) attributable to BXP, 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, 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, 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 BXP, 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 loss from early extinguishment of debt, unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, gain on sale / consolidation, gain on investment, and impairment losses on investments, all of which are included within Income (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, 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, 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 Office (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 BXP, 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 BXP, 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 - 2021 MYLTIP Units required, and the 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units require, BXP to outperform certain 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.

BPLP
The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership and the number of common units used in the computation of basic earnings per common unit, which is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership by the weighted-average number of common units 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 earnings per common unit using the two-class method. Participating securities are included in the computation of diluted earnings per common unit using the if-converted method if the impact is dilutive.

Other potentially dilutive common units and the related impact on earnings are considered when calculating diluted earnings per common unit. Included in the number of units (the denominator) below are approximately 17,721,000 and 18,002,000 redeemable common units for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 18,119,000 and 17,928,000 redeemable common units for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

13. Stock Option and Incentive Plan
On January 25, 2024, the Compensation Committee of BXP’s Board of Directors approved the grant of 2024 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. The 2024 MYLTIP awards consists of three components. Two of the components, each weighted 40%, utilize BXP’s TSR over a three-year measurement period as the performance metrics and the third component utilizes a leverage ratio as the performance metric. Earned awards will range from zero to a maximum of 330,479 LTIP Units depending on BXP’s performance under the three components, with a target of approximately 165,240 LTIP Units. Under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” the 2024 MYLTIP awards have an aggregate value of approximately $11.1 million.
On February 1, 2024, the measurement period for the Company’s 2021 MYLTIP awards ended and, based on BXP’s absolute and relative TSR performance, the final payout was determined to be 112% of target, or an aggregate of approximately $12.6 million (after giving effect to employee separations). As a result, an aggregate of 155,625 2021 MYLTIP Units that had been previously granted were automatically forfeited.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, BXP issued 83,316 shares of restricted common stock and BPLP issued 451,044 LTIP Units and 330,479 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 2024 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 were valued at approximately $5.3 million. The LTIP Units granted were valued at approximately $26.7 million using a Monte Carlo simulation method model. Because the 2012 OPP Units and 2013 - 2024 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. Dividends paid on both vested and unvested shares of restricted stock are charged directly to Dividends in Excess of Earnings in BXP, Inc.’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Partners’ Capital in Boston Properties Limited Partnership’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Aggregate stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock, LTIP Units and MYLTIP Units was approximately $4.0 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $38.5 million and $45.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, there was (1) an aggregate of approximately $25.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock and LTIP Units and (2) an aggregate of approximately $(40,000) of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested 2022 - 2024 MYLTIP Units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years.
14. Subsequent Events
On October 5, 2024, the Company fully placed in-service 103 CityPoint, an approximately 113,000 net rentable square foot laboratory/life sciences project located in Waltham, Massachusetts.
On October 8, 2024, the Company modified the mortgage loan collateralized by its Santa Monica Business Park properties located in Santa Monica, California. The mortgage loan had an outstanding principal balance of $200.0 million, bore interest at a variable rate equal to Daily Simple SOFR + 1.38% per annum and was scheduled to mature on July 19, 2025 (See Note 6). The modified loan is scheduled to mature on October 8, 2028 and continues to bear interest at a variable rate equal to Daily Simple SOFR + 1.38% per annum until July 19, 2025. Beginning July 19, 2025, the mortgage loan will bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR + 1.60% per annum through the maturity date. The entire principal is subject to interest rate swap contracts to fix Daily Simple SOFR at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of approximately 2.675% per annum through April 1, 2025 (See Note 7). The mortgage loan requires monthly interest-only payments during the term of the loan, with the entire principal due at maturity. Santa Monica Business Park is an office park consisting of 21 buildings totaling approximately 1.2 million net rentable square feet.
On October 31, 2024, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 300 Binney Street, a laboratory/life sciences redevelopment project with approximately 236,000 net rentable square feet located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The property is fully leased to a life sciences tenant.
