815,409 Shares of Common Stock

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us” or “our company” in this prospectus supplement refer collectively to Boston Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, including Boston Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and their respective predecessor entities for the applicable periods, considered as a single enterprise.

This prospectus supplement updates the prospectus dated August 9, 1999, as amended by the prospectus supplements dated July 31, 2001, August 16, 2002, May 8, 2003, June 6, 2006, November 26, 2007, March 19, 2009, May 28, 2009, August 12, 2010, December 15, 2011 and April 2, 2012 relating to the offer for sale of up to an aggregate of 815,409 shares of common stock of Boston Properties, Inc. by the selling stockholders identified in the prospectus, and the prospectus supplements, and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. The selling stockholders may only offer the common stock for sale if they exercise their rights to tender their common units for cash, and we exercise our right to issue common stock to them instead of cash.

We are providing this prospectus supplement to update the table under the caption “The Selling Stockholders,” in the prospectus dated August 9, 1999, as amended by the prospectus supplements dated July 31, 2001, August 16, 2002, May 8, 2003, June 6, 2006, November 26, 2007, March 19, 2009, May 28, 2009, August 12, 2010, December 15, 2011 and April 2, 2012. The following updated information is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of October 16, 2013. Unless we indicate otherwise, the information in this prospectus supplement is as of October 16, 2013.

In the case of each selling stockholder, the percentage of our common stock that will be held by such selling stockholder (assuming all remaining units held by such person are presented for redemption and are exchanged for common stock) after completion of this offering will be less than one percent (1%). The total number of shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating such percentage (i) is based on the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of October 28, 2013 (152,445,732 shares) and (ii) assumes that none of the remaining units held by other persons will be exchanged for common stock.

(5)	Voting and investment decisions with respect to these units are made by Caroline P. Hayes, the trustee of this trust.
