Risks
1. Interest Rate Risk: Rising interest rates on debt borrowed for development projects can increase the cost of borrowing and limit the company's ability to finance new projects.
2. Macroeconomic Risk: A slowdown in the economy could cause issues with tenant occupancy and rental increases, which could reduce revenue and profitability.
3. Competition Risk: Boston Properties faces competition from other REITs for tenants, which can affect rental rates and occupancy rates.
4. Regulatory Risk: The company is subject to various zoning and environmental regulations that could limit its ability to develop certain properties and increase its costs.
5. Financing Risk: Boston Properties depends on external financing sources to fund their development projects and acquisitions, which may not always be available when needed.
