Exhibit 99.2

BOSTON PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS; REPORTS EPS OF $3.20 AND FFO PER SHARE OF $1.83

Reports April Office Tenant Collections of 95%

BOSTON, MA, April 28, 2020- Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly-traded developer, owner and manager of Class A office properties in the United States,reported results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Financial highlights for the first quarter include:

• Revenue grew 4% to $752.6 million as compared to revenue of $725.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

• Net income attributable to common shareholders was $497.5 million, or $3.20 per diluted share (EPS), compared to $98.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to $2.37 per diluted share from gains on asset sales in the first quarter of 2020.

• Funds from Operations (FFO) was $284.1 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, reflecting growth of 7% compared to FFO of $266.0 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

◦ FFO in the first quarter of $1.83 per diluted share was $0.02 per share greater than the midpoint of the Company’s first quarter guidance provided on January 28, 2020 due primarily to $0.02 per share of greater-than-projected portfolio performance.

The Company provided a business update pertaining to the current COVID-19 pandemic including:

• The safety of Boston Properties’ tenants and employees remains the Company’s highest priority. The Company has formed a Heath and Security Task Force to prepare buildings for re-occupancy and will implement a number of processes, technologies and communications to provide a safe environment at the Company’s properties.

• All office properties throughout the Boston Properties portfolio remain open for tenants, although physical occupancy is low due to shelter-in-place orders.

• For the month of April, the Company collected 90% of its total commercial rent payments due April 1 from retail and office tenants. Rent collections from office tenants, excluding retail, were 95% in total.

• The Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position with $2.1 billion of total liquidity as of March 31, 2020 consisting of $661 million of cash, $151 million of cash held in 1031 exchange escrow as well as $1.25 billion available under its unsecured revolving credit facility.

• Although the Company’s office rent collections were strong in April, due to the uncertainty of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the unknown duration and impact of

shelter-in-place requirements and the uncertain economic climate, the Company believes it is prudent to withdraw its guidance for full year 2020 EPS and FFO.

Recent business highlights include:

• Completed and fully placed in-service 17Fifty Presidents Street located in Reston, Virginia on March 26, 2020. 17Fifty Presidents Street is a build-to-suit project with approximately 276,000 net rentable square feet of Class A office space that is 100% leased to an affiliate of Leidos Holdings, Inc.

• Completed the sale of New Dominion Technology Park located in Herndon, Virginia on February 20, 2020, for a gross sale price of $256.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $254.0 million and reported gain on sale of approximately $192.3 million. New Dominion Technology Park is comprised of two Class A office properties aggregating approximately 493,000 net rentable square feet.

• Completed the acquisition of the land underlying the ground lease at Platform 16 located in San Jose, California on February 20, 2020, for a purchase price of approximately $74.0 million at BXP’s Share. Platform 16 is a joint venture in which the Company owns 55%. Platform 16 consists of a parcel of land totaling approximately 5.6 acres that is expected to support the development of approximately 1.1 million square feet of commercial office space.

• Entered into a joint venture with Alexandria Real Estate Equities to develop, own and operate approximately 1.1 million square feet of existing office and life science lab properties in South San Francisco, California, with the opportunity for approximately 640,000 square feet of additional future development. The Company contributed three office properties totaling approximately 768,000 square feet and development rights resulting in a non-cash gain on sale of real estate of approximately $217.7 million. Upon completion, the joint venture is expected to own an approximately 1.7 million square foot life science campus including a mix of office and lab buildings.  Boston Properties will have a 50% ownership interest in the joint venture.

In the opinion of management, the Company has made all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of these reported results.

(1) Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, impairment losses on depreciable real estate consolidated on our balance sheet, impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, but we believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies.

Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently.

In order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company’s operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
