EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 of BXP, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “BXP” mean BXP, Inc. (formerly known as Boston Properties, Inc.), a Delaware corporation that has elected to be taxed as a 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” refer collectively to BXP, BPLP and those subsidiaries consolidated by BXP.
As of March 31, 2025, BXP owned an approximate 89.6% ownership interest in BPLP. The remaining approximate 10.4% 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 covenants 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 a number of common units of BPLP that equals the number of shares of BXP common stock so issued. 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 $234.4 million, or 1.1% at March 31, 2025, 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions, in each case, to the extent applicable. The forward-looking statements are contained principally, but not only, under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations of future events and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “will,” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance or occurrences, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control. If one or more of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance or occurrences and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results, trends and assumptions at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
The most significant factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties related to adverse changes in general economic and capital market conditions, including continued inflation, elevated interest rates, supply chain disruptions, dislocation and volatility in capital markets, and potential longer-term changes in consumer and client behavior, sustained changes in client preferences and space utilization, as well as the other important factors below and the risks described in (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 including those described under the caption “Risk Factors,” (ii) our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act and (iii) the risk factors set forth in this Form 10-Q in Part II, Item 1A, if any.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
-
volatile or adverse global economic and political conditions, including policy changes by the presidential administration, such as the direct and indirect negative impacts that new and increased tariffs may have on (1) our current and prospective clients and their demand for office space and (2) the costs and availability of construction materials and the economic returns on our construction and development activities, the impact of geopolitical conflicts, health crises and dislocations in the credit markets could adversely affect economic conditions and/or restrict our access to cost-effective capital, which could have a material adverse effect on our business opportunities, results of operations and financial condition;
-
general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases on attractive terms, sustained changes in client preferences and space utilization, dependence on clients’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);
-
failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets and sub-markets or to integrate acquisitions and developments successfully;
-
the ability of our joint venture partners to satisfy their obligations;
-
risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, construction delays, increased construction costs, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits, client accounting considerations that may result in negotiated lease provisions that limit a client’s liability during construction, and public opposition to such activities);
-
risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments or refinance existing indebtedness, including the impact of higher interest rates on the cost and/or availability of financing;
-
risks associated with forward interest rate contracts and derivatives and the effectiveness of such arrangements;
-
risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;
-
costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws;
-
potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;
-
risks associated with climate change and severe weather events, as well as the regulatory efforts intended to reduce the effects of climate change;
-
risks associated with security breaches, incidents, and compromises through cyber-attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems, which support our operations and our buildings;
-
risks associated with legal proceedings and other claims that could result in substantial monetary damages and other costs;
-
risks associated with BXP’s potential failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
-
possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws;
-
the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results;
-
risks associated with possible state and local tax audits; and
-
risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
The risks set forth above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not unduly rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and Current Reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Current Reports on Form 8-K or otherwise, for a dis

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. Unless 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 2025 Credit Facility, 2024 Unsecured Term Loan, Commercial Paper Program, certain mortgage loans and other debt that bears interest at variable 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 March 31, 2025, approximately $13.3 billion of our 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 approximately $2.4 billion of outstanding indebtedness bore interest at variable rates, including approximately $800.0 million of unsecured term loans, $500.0 million of unsecured commercial paper borrowings, $300.0 million under BPLP’s Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $800.0 million of secured debt. However, we have entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts aggregating $800.0 million for our secured debt and $100.0 million for BPLP’s 2024 Unsecured Term Loan, thus fixing the interest rates for all or a portion of the applicable debt term (See Notes 7 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information pertaining to interest rate swap contracts). Therefore, as of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.5 billion of variable rate debt outstanding.
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, 2025.
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 March 31, 2025, the weighted-average stated interest rates on the fixed rate debt stated above was 3.86% per annum. At March 31, 2025, our outstanding variable rate debt totaled approximately $2.4 billion, of which $900.0 million was subject to interest rate swaps. At March 31, 2025, the weighted-average stated interest rate on our variable rate debt, including the effect of the interest rate swaps, was 5.21% per annum. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
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 their 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.
