Item 5    Other Events

On November 26, 1997, Boston Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), through Boston
Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), entered into
agreements to acquire a portfolio of properties and development sites (the
"Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio") in the Greater Washington, D.C. area. The
portfolio includes four office buildings in Reston, Virginia, one office
building in Rockville, Maryland, and four R&D buildings, two each in
Springfield, Virginia, and Gaithersburg, Maryland. The total net rentable square
feet of the acquired properties is approximately 1.3 million square feet. Also
included in the portfolio are two development sites in Reston, Virginia, and
four in Rockville, Maryland, known as the Decoverly Office Park. These sites
have a total additional development potential of over 900,000 square feet.

The total acquisition price and related costs for the portfolio is approximately
$252.9 million. The acquisition price will be paid in cash, the assumption of
$113.3 million of existing debt to which the properties are subject, and the
issuance of a minimum of $50 million of Operating Partnership units of limited 
partnership ("OP Units"). The value of the OP Units issued in the transaction
will be based on the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock over 
the 20 trading days immediately preceding the closing, but such value shall in
no event be less than $30 or more than $36. The acquisition of the
Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio is scheduled to close in early February 1998,
although no assurances can be given in this regard.

                                   EXPENSES

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Boston Properties, Inc.:
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue over certain operating
expenses of the Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio in Greater Washington, D.C. (the
"Portfolio") for the year ended December 31, 1996. This statement is the
responsibility of the Properties' management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on this statement based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenue over certain
operating expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  The accompanying statement of revenue over certain operating expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and excludes certain expenses described in Note 2, and
therefore is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Portfolio's
revenue and expenses.
 
  In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the revenue over certain operating expenses (as described in
Note 2) of the Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1996
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DESCRIPTION OF PORTFOLIO The accompanying statement of revenue over certain operating expenses (the "Statement") includes the combined operations of nine office properties known as the Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio, (the "Portfolio") located in the Greater Washington, D.C. area, specifically in the Gaithersburg I-270 and I-270 Rockville submarkets of Montgomery County, Maryland and the Springfield and Reston submarkets of Fairfax County, VA. The Portfolio will be acquired by Boston Properties, Inc. from entities affiliated with Mulligan/Griffin and Associates, Inc, an unrelated third party, and are detailed as follows:
NO.

- -------- 2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying Statement has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The Statement has been prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired or to be acquired. Accordingly, this statement excludes certain historical expenses not comparable to the operations of the Portfolio after acquisition such as amortization, depreciation, property management fees, certain interest costs, ground lease payments, corporate expenses and certain other costs not directly related to the future operations of the Portfolio. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Rental Revenue Rental income is recognized on the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases. The excess of recognized rentals over amounts due pursuant to lease terms is recorded as accrued rent. The impact of the straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $287 and decreased revenue by approximately $99 for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (unaudited), respectively. Unaudited Interim Information The statement of revenue over certain operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such statement have been included. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Risks and Uncertainties The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-3 MULLIGAN/GRIFFIN PORTFOLIO NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE OVER CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 4. DESCRIPTION OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS The space is leased to tenants under leases with terms that vary in length. Minimum lease payments excluding certain real estate tax reimbursement clauses, operating expense reimbursement clauses and renewal options to be received during the next five years for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 1996 are approximately as follows:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, (IN THOUSANDS) ------------ -------------- 1997......................................... $25,809 1998......................................... 29,111 1999......................................... 29,048 2000......................................... 30,041 2001......................................... 29,441 Thereafter................................... 108,981
As of December 31, 1996, two tenants occupied approximately 61% of the leasable square feet and represented 87% of total 1996 Base Rent. 5. DEBT ASSUMPTION In connection with the acquisition, Boston Properties, Inc. will assume certain mortgage notes (the "Notes") encumbering three of the properties totaling $122,982 at December 31, 1996. Boston Properties Inc.'s assumption of these mortgages does not provide for any modification to the original terms; therefore, interest expense incurred prior to Boston Properties Inc.'s assumption of the mortgage notes is representative of future interest expense. Accordingly, interest expense of $11,085 for 1996 and $7,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (unaudited) is recognized in the accompanying Statement. The Notes require payments of principal and interest through varying terms ranging from July 15, 2002 to February 1, 2005. The interest rate on the Notes range from 6.00% to 9.70%. These Notes are subject to prepayment penalties of varying amounts in the event of an early principal repayment. Principal payments due on the mortgage notes during the next five years are approximately as follows: 1997................................................ $ 8,940 1998................................................ 9,728 1999................................................ 10,588 2000................................................ 11,524 2001................................................ 12,549

-------- /(1)/ The acquisition of 100 East Pratt Street was funded by a draw-down of $137,500 from the Unsecured Line of Credit and the issuance of 500 shares of common stock (valued at approximately $16, based on a value of $32.00 per share). /(2)/ The acquisition of 875 Third Avenue was funded by the assumption of a $180,000 mortgage note, payment of $1,500 in cash and the issuance of 890,869 restricted Operating Partnership Units (the "OP Units"). To the extent that, for the ten trading days through and including December 31, 1998 the average daily closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of shares of common stock is less than $31.43 per share (such average, the "Share Average"), the Operating Partnership shall issue to the contributor of 875 Third Avenue a number of additional OP Units (the "Additional OP Units") such that the product of (x) the Share Average, multiplied by (y) the sum of 890,869 plus the Additional OP Units, equals $28,000. Consequently, for accounting purposes, the OP Units were valued at approximately $28,000, based on a value of $31.43 per unit. /(3)/ The acquisition of Riverfront Plaza will be funded through the payment of $52,561 in cash and mortgage acquisition financing of $121,800. /(4)/ The acquisition of the Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio will be funded through the payment of $88,516 in cash, the assumption of the fair value of mortgage debt in the amount of $118,251, the assumption of other liabilities in the amount of $1,123 and the issuance of $50,000 in restricted OP Units based on a price per unit of $33.25. In the event that the actual Closing Day Value, defined as the average of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the 20 days immediately preceeding the closing of the acquisition is less than $30.00 per share, the number of OP Units to be issued shall be determined as though the Closing Day value is $30.00 per share; and in the event that the actual Closing Day Value exceeds $36.00 per share the number of OP Units shall be determined as though Closing Day Value is $36.00 per share. If the Closing Day Value is any amount between $30.00 and $36.00, inclusive, the number of OP Units to be issued shall be based on the actual Closing Day Value. The contributors have the right to elect additional restrict OP units in lieu of cash. F-7 BOSTON PROPERTIES, INC.
