Key Terms

term sofr financial

Term SOFR is a benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing money over a specific period, based on actual transactions in the financial markets. It is used by lenders and borrowers to set the interest rates on loans and financial contracts, helping to ensure rates are fair and transparent. For investors, understanding term SOFR helps gauge borrowing costs and the overall direction of interest rates in the economy.

real estate investment trust (reit) financial

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate like shopping malls, apartments, or office buildings. Investors buy shares of the REIT, making it easy for people to invest in real estate without buying property themselves, and it often pays regular dividends from the rent it collects.

leed platinum technical

LEED Platinum is the highest certification awarded by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system for buildings that demonstrate top-level performance in energy use, water efficiency, materials, indoor air quality, and site sustainability. For investors, it signals lower expected operating costs, stronger tenant demand, potential eligibility for incentives, and reduced regulatory or reputational risk—much like a top fuel-efficiency score that can cut long-term ownership expenses and boost resale value.

Financing Completed for Premier Midtown Manhattan Development

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BXP, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, announced today that it has closed a $1.2 billion construction loan for the development of 343 Madison Avenue, a planned 46-story, approximately 930,000-square-foot premier workplace tower in Midtown Manhattan with direct access to Grand Central Terminal’s Madison Concourse. The financing represents a significant milestone in the capitalization of the $2 billion project and supports the ongoing construction of one of New York City's most anticipated workplace developments.

"We are pleased to complete this financing, which reflects the quality of 343 Madison Avenue, continued confidence in BXP's development platform, and our ability to secure attractive financing terms in today's market," said Mike LaBelle, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, BXP. "This transaction advances one of our most compelling value-creation opportunities, strengthens our financial flexibility, and supports our strategy to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

The construction loan facility has a four-year initial term, plus a one-year extension option subject to customary conditions, and was completed on highly competitive terms, including an initial interest rate of Term SOFR plus 2.50%, which will be reduced to Term SOFR plus 2.25% upon the achievement of certain leasing and construction milestones.

BXP expects to deliver the project in late 2029, and it is positioned to be one of the few newly delivered premier workplace towers in Midtown Manhattan over the next several years. Leasing activity at the project is strong, with approximately 50% of the building pre-leased and discussions for additional commitments underway.

The financing was led by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent; BofA Securities, Inc., The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Joint Lead Arrangers; Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. New York Branch (BBVA), Landesbank Baden-Wurttemberg, PNC Bank, National Association, and U.S. Bank N.A., as Documentation Agents; and BBVA as Sustainability Agent.

Legal counsel for the transaction was provided by Fried Frank for BXP and Riemer Braunstein for Wells Fargo.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, 343 Madison Avenue will offer a hospitality-forward amenity program and market-leading sustainability features. A dramatic double-height, client-exclusive club on the top floors will include spaces to dine, connect, and collaborate indoors and out, with striking terraces and expansive views overlooking Midtown. A robust food and beverage program, including a lobby café, and bicycle storage with cabanas and showers round out the amenity program. Specialty floors, including private terraces and elevated ceiling heights, allow clients to design a multi-functional workplace that accommodates a variety of work styles and space needs. Sustainability features include a fully electric design with zero on-site combustion and a high-efficiency direct outside air system. Target certifications include LEED Platinum, Well Core, Energy Star 85+, Fitwel, and WiredScore Platinum.
