able improvement,

with leasing activity driven largely by AI and technology companies and supported

by positive absorption trends in the market.

Premier workplace assets continue to outperform. Premier office assets

remain a key differentiator, with BXP emphasizing continued outperformance

versus the broader office market. It noted that premier workplaces represent a

small portion of total inventory but exhibit materially lower vacancy (8.5% vs.

~13.8% for the broader market) and command significantly higher rents (60%+

premium). Over the past three years, premier workplaces have generated ~11.9

MSF of positive net absorption compared with minimal or negative absorption

across the broader office market. Demand remains concentrated in high-quality

CBD assets, supported by tenants upgrading space, increasing in-office

requirements, and expanding in sectors such as technology and AI.

BXP remains active with strategic sales and capital deployment

BXP continues to execute on its capital recycling and development strategy, which

remains focused on three priorities: monetizing non-core assets, strengthening the

balance sheet, and funding future development. BXP emphasized continued progress

on dispositions, noting that the company has generated ~$1.2 bn of net proceeds since

its prior Investor Day, including ~$360 mm year-to-date in 2026. Looking ahead, BXP

expects additional disposition activity, with it indicating that total 2026 net proceeds

from asset sales could reach up to ~$400 mm, primarily from non-strategic office assets

and land sales.
