Leasing & Occupancy

• Executed 91 leases in the first quarter totaling more than 1.1 million square feet with a weighted-average lease term of 10.9 years, representing a 25% increase in the number of square feet leased over the first quarter of 2024. Notable leases for the quarter included an approximately 244,000 square foot lease at 200 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York and an approximately 162,000 square foot lease in Waltham, Massachusetts, both of which were on vacant space.

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

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

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