Boston Properties, Inc. to File Form 10-Q On November 14th

    BOSTON, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP) plans
to file its Form 10-Q tomorrow, November 14, 2001, with results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2001.
    The net income to be reported in the Form 10-Q will include additional
non-cash revenue of $12.4 million as compared to information disclosed in the
press release and Form 8-K filed on October 23rd.  This potential adjustment
was previously discussed by management during their third quarter earnings
conference call which was held on October 24th and does not change the Funds
from Operations (FFO) as reported of $0.91 per share diluted.
    At the time of the October 24th conference call, the Company and its
auditors were still reviewing the accounting treatment associated with revenue
generated from the surrender of certain space at its 875 Third Avenue property
in New York City.  The Company and its auditors have since determined that all
of the payments to be made in association with that surrender will be
recognized in income in the third quarter of 2001.  This results in a
$10.1 million (net of minority interest share of $2.3 million) non-cash
increase to net income available to common shareholders for the quarter.  Net
income available to common shareholders for the third quarter is $51.5 million
($0.56 per share diluted), rather than $41.4 million ($0.45 per share diluted)
as reported on October 23rd.
    Consistent with its historical practice, Boston Properties will recognize
this early surrender income in its Funds from Operations as cash is actually
received over the remaining term of the lease.  Boston Properties expects to
receive approximately $1.3 million per month from October 1, 2001 to July 15,
2002.  These amounts will be included in FFO and identified separately in each
quarter as received.  The Company's previously disclosed 2001 and 2002 FFO
guidance remains unchanged.  Net income guidance for 2001 and 2002 after
adjusting for this non-cash item is also unchanged.

    Boston Properties is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-
managed real estate investment trust that develops, redevelops, acquires,
manages, operates and owns a diverse portfolio of Class A office, industrial
and hotel properties.  The Company is one of the largest owners and developers
of Class A office properties in the United States, concentrated in four core
markets -- Boston, Midtown Manhattan, Washington, DC and San Francisco.

    This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Federal securities laws.  You should exercise caution in interpreting
and relying on forward-looking statements because they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases,
beyond Boston Properties' control and could materially affect actual results,
performance or achievements.  These factors include, without limitation, the
ability to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms,
dependence on tenants' financial condition, the uncertainties of real estate
development and acquisition activity, the ability to effectively integrate
acquisitions, the costs and availability of financing, the effects of local
economic and market conditions, regulatory changes and other risks and
uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
