ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

         In connection with the Salomon Smith Barney 2003 REIT CEO Conference
representatives of Boston Properties, Inc. participated in a panel discussion
with investors and analysts at which they discussed information previously made
public. During the question-and-answer portion held on March 18, 2003, Company
representatives provided the following additional details with respect to the
Company's progress in leasing its Times Square Tower property in New York City:

         The rent on the approximately 200,000 square feet leased to O'Melveny &
Meyers was only slightly below our initial pro-forma assumptions.

         The Company is in discussions with three additional prospects, each of
which is in the market for approximately 300,000 square feet.

         A full replay of the presentation will be available by dialing
