BXP Announces First Quarter 2026 ResultsApr 28, 2026
Exceeded the Midpoint of Guidance for Q1; Executed More Than 1.1 Million SF of Leases in Q1; Increased Total Portfolio Occupancy by 70 Basis Points; More Than 1.4 Million Square Feet of Leasing Scheduled to Commence Through the End of 2026
BOSTON, April 28, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BXP, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, reported results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Revenue increased 0.8% to $872.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $865.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Net income attributable to BXP, Inc. of $101.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted share (EPS), for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $61.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
EPS exceeded the midpoint of BXP’s guidance by $0.31 per diluted share primarily due to gains on sales recognized in connection with the disposition activity completed in the first quarter. Funds from Operations (FFO) of $252.2 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to FFO of $260.6 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
FFO for the first quarter exceeded the midpoint of BXP’s guidance by $0.02 primarily due to portfolio outperformance.
Guidance
BXP provided guidance for second quarter 2026 EPS of $0.44 - $0.46 and FFO of $1.69 - $1.71 per diluted share, and updated guidance for full year 2026 EPS of $2.15 - $2.29 and FFO of $6.90 - $7.04 per diluted share.
The midpoint of full year 2026 guidance for EPS increased by $0.04 per diluted share primarily due to gains on sales recognized in connection with the disposition activity and better-than-projected portfolio performance.
The midpoint of full year 2026 guidance for FFO increased by $0.01 per diluted share primarily due to better-than-projected portfolio performance.
See "EPS and FFO per Share Guidance" below.
Leasing & Occupancy
Executed 68 leases in the first quarter totaling more than 1.1 million square feet with a weighted-average lease term of 8.7 years. Notable leasing includes:
approximately 140,000 square feet of leases at 360 Park Avenue South in New York City, NY, bringing the leased percentage of the building to 90%, and approximately 104,000 square feet of leases at 680 Folsom Street in San Francisco, CA, bringing the leased percentage of the building to 92%. For the first quarter, BXP’s CBD portfolio of premier workplaces was 89.9% occupied and 93.4% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP). Approximately 90.0% of BXP’s Share of annualized rental obligations is derived from clients located in our CBD portfolio, underscoring the strength of BXP’s strategy to invest in the highest quality buildings in dynamic urban gateway markets. BXP’s total portfolio occupancy for the first quarter was 87.4%, an increase of 70 basis points from Q4 2025. Total portfolio leased percentage was 90.9% (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP), an increase of 150 basis points from Q4 2025. The spread between leased and occupied square footage has grown to 350 basis points, representing approximately 1.6 million square feet of leases yet to commence, of which approximately 90% is expected to commence throughout 2026, consistent with the trajectory outlined at our Investor Day in September 2025.
Story Continues
Transactions
Consistent with the strategic asset sales plan outlined at our Investor Day, BXP has generated approximately $1.2 billion of aggregate net proceeds from completed asset sales to date, including approximately $180.0 million since our last earnings call on January 28, 2026, further enhancing balance sheet flexibility and supporting our capital needs and strategic priorities.
During the first quarter, we completed the sales of North First Business Park in San Jose, CA, a land parcel in Rockville, MD, The Lofts at Atlantic Wharf in Boston, MA, and BXP’s ownership interest in each of Gateway Commons in South San Francisco, CA and 7750 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, MD. The aggregate gross proceeds of these residential, land and non-strategic office sales totaled approximately $495.7 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $339.0 million and gains on sales of real estate and our investment in joint ventures of $54.7 million, in each case based on BXP’s share.
EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:
BXP’s guidance for the second quarter and full year 2026 for EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below. Except as described below, the estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, interest rates, the timing of the lease-up of available space, the timing of development cost outlays and development deliveries, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and those referenced during the related conference call. The estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions not under contract as of the date hereof, (2) the impacts of any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. BXP is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or gains or losses associated with disposition activities. There can be no assurance that BXP’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth below.
Second Quarter 2026 Full Year 2026 Low High Low High Projected EPS (diluted) $ 0.44 $ 0.46 $ 2.15 $ 2.29 Add: Projected Company share of real estate depreciation and amortization 1.29 1.29 5.10 5.10 Projected Company share of (gains)/losses on sales of real estate, gain on investment from unconsolidated joint venture and impairments (0.04 ) (0.04 ) (0.35 ) (0.35 ) Projected FFO per share (diluted) $ 1.69 $ 1.71 $ 6.90 $ 7.04
The reported results are unaudited and there can be no assurance that these reported results will not vary from the final information for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. In the opinion of management, BXP 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 BXP, Inc. (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, including a change in control, 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 or a change in control 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 calculation 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 BXP, Inc. as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to BXP, Inc. (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.
