1. Q4 2025 Performance Metrics Estimates

Boston Properties is expected to report same-property net operating income growth of approximately 3.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, up from 2.7% in Q3. Analysts project the company will finish Q4 with an average leasing spreads increase of 15.4% on renewals and 12.1% on new leases, reflecting strong demand in Boston and Washington, DC markets. Occupancy across the portfolio is forecast to remain stable at 95.3%, supported by the delivery of two new development projects totaling 450,000 square feet that began initial leasing in November. Funds from operations per share are estimated to land at $1.62, compared with $1.58 in the year-ago quarter, driven by higher parking revenues and a 4.5% rise in common area maintenance recoveries. The company’s weighted average debt maturity stands at 9.2 years, with $1.1 billion of unsecured revolver capacity available at quarter end.
