On July 20, 2023, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 140 Kendrick Street - Building A, a premier workplace redevelopment project with approximately 104,000 net rentable square feet located in Needham, Massachusetts.

On July 28, 2023, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an institutional investor for the future development of 343 Madison Avenue located on Madison Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in New York City, New York adjacent to Grand Central Station. The Company owns a 55% interest in the venture and its partner owns a 45% interest, and the Company will provide customary development, property management, and leasing services. The 343 Madison Avenue project contemplates the construction of (1) a direct entrance to the Long Island

Railroad’s new east side access project (Grand Central Madison) (“Phase 1”) and (2) an approximately 900,000 square foot premier workplace building with ground floor retail (“Phase 2”). Subsequently, on August 1, 2023, the joint venture executed a 99-year ground lease with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the approximately 25,000 square foot site. The ground lease requires the joint venture to construct the direct access to Grand Central Madison as Phase 1 of the development project. The joint venture has the option until July 31, 2025 to terminate the ground lease prior to construction of the new building and receive reimbursement for the cost of the construction of access to Grand Central Station. There can be no assurance that Phase 1 will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or that Phase 2 of the development project will commence on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

On July 28, 2023, a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest modified and exercised an option to extend by one year the maturity date of its loan collateralized by 100 Causeway Street. At the time of the modification and extension, the loan had an outstanding balance totaling approximately $340.6 million, bore interest at Term SOFR plus 1.60% per annum, and was scheduled to mature on September 5, 2023. The modified and extended loan has an outstanding balance of $336.6 million, which included an approximately $4.0 million principal repayment, bears interest at Term SOFR plus 1.48% per annum, and matures on September 5, 2024, with an additional one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. 100 Causeway Street is an approximately 634,000 square foot premier workplace located in Boston, Massachusetts and is approximately 95% leased.

Effective July 28, 2023, BXP’s independent directors appointed Joel I. Klein to serve as the lead independent director, replacing Kelly A. Ayotte. Ms. Ayotte stepped down as the lead independent director due to the additional time commitment and responsibilities of that role, and the independent directors determined that it is in the best interests of BXP and its stockholders that Mr. Klein once again assume that role. Ms. Ayotte served as BXP’s lead independent director since May 2022 and will remain on BXP’s Board of Directors. Mr. Klein previously served as BXP’s lead independent director from May 2016 to May 2019 and as its independent Chairman from May 2019 to May 2022.
