Item 5    Other Events

This Form 8-K/A is being filed pursuant to the rules governing the reporting of 
transactions on Form 8-K, under Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, to update through 
December 31, 1997, the interim unaudited financial statements for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997, previously filed on the Current Report on Form 
8-K for the Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio dated November 26, 1997 and on the 
Current Report on Form 8-K/A for Riverfront Plaza dated October 23, 1997.

Item 7    Financial Statements and Exhibits

The following financial statements are being filed in connection with the
acquisition of Riverfront Plaza, Richmond, Virginia, which closed on January 22,
1998; the acquisition of the Mulligan/Griffin Portfolio, which closed on
February 2, 1998; the acquisition of the Carnegie Center Portfolio, East
Brunswick and Princeton, New Jersey, which closed on June 30, 1998: the
acquisition of the Prudential Center, Boston, Massachusetts, which closed on
July 2, 1998; and the acquisition of Metropolitan Square, Washington, D.C.,
which closed on July 10, 1998. This Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend (i) the 
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on July 15, 1998; (ii) the 
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on July 17, 1998; and (iii) 
the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on July 27, 1998.

The agreements made in connection with the transactions referenced above, were
negotiated at arms length between the Registrant and representatives of the
transferors. Neither the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant nor any
director or officer of the Registrant was affiliated with or had a material
relationship with the transferors. In determining the price to purchase the
Acquired Properties (as defined in the attached financial statements) the
Registrant evaluated various factors, including, among others, the existing
leases, which are the primary source of revenue, the occupancy rates, the
competitive nature of the markets and comparative rental rates. Current and
anticipated operating expenses, maintenance and repair costs, real estate taxes
and capital improvement requirements were also evaluated. After reasonable
inquiry, the Registrant is not aware of any material fators (other than those
stated above) which would cause the reported financial information not to be
indicative of future operating results.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Boston Properties, Inc.:

  In our opinion, the accompanying statement of revenue over certain operating
expenses of Riverfront Plaza (the "Property") in Richmond, Virginia, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue over certain operating expenses
(as described in Note 2) of the Property for the year ended December 31, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. This statement is the
responsibility of the Property's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit of this
statement in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which
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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

     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 Property's
revenue and expenses.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the statement. METROPOLITAN SQUARE NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE OVER CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY The accompanying statement of revenue over certain operating expenses (the "Statement") includes the operations of an approximately 596,543 square foot Class A office property known as Metropolitan Square, (the "Property") located in Washington, D.C. The Property was acquired on July 10, 1998 by Boston Properties, Inc. from an unrelated third party. 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 Property after acquisition such as amortization, depreciation, certain property management fees, certain interest costs, corporate expenses and certain other costs not directly related to the future operations of the Property. 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 $847 and $303 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 (unaudited), respectively. Unaudited Interim Information The statement of revenue over certain operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 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. METROPOLITAN SQUARE NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE OVER CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 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. 4. DESCRIPTION OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS The space is leased to tenants under leases with terms that vary in length. Minimum lease payments excluding reimbursement clauses and renewal options to be received during the next five years and thereafter for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 1997 are as follows:
Year Ending December 31, ------------ 1998............................................................. $17,106 1999............................................................. 13,308 2000............................................................. 10,959 2001............................................................. 10,622 2002............................................................. 10,059 Thereafter....................................................... 42,589
