In this episode, we profile BXP, Inc. (formerly Boston Properties), a major player in American commercial real estate founded in 1970 by Mortimer Zuckerman and Edward Linde,. We trace the company’s evolution from its first New York City development at 599 Lexington Avenue to its initial public offering in 1997,.

Join us as we break down BXP’s aggressive acquisition strategy, featuring landmark deals like the purchase of San Francisco’s Embarcadero Center, Boston’s Prudential Tower, and the record-setting $2.8 billion acquisition of the General Motors Building in 2008. We also discuss high-profile projects like the NASA Headquarters and the Salesforce Tower, along with the time the company outbid Donald Trump for the New York Coliseum site,. Tune in to understand how this REIT grew to manage over 53 million square feet of premier workspace across the United States.

Analogy To understand BXP’s strategy, imagine playing a game of Monopoly where, instead of buying every small property you land on, you save all your money to buy only "Park Place" and "Boardwalk" in every major city. BXP ignores the smaller, cheaper properties to focus exclusively on owning the most expensive, "premier" skyscrapers in high-value markets like New York, Boston, and San Francisco.
