The financing was completed in partnership with Delaware North, BXP’s joint venture partner on the project.

“We are pleased to complete this financing, which not only enhances the strength and flexibility of our balance sheet, but also demonstrates our access to attractively priced capital in the secured mortgage market,” said Mike LaBelle, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at BXP.

The loan, which matures on April 9, 2031, carries a fixed interest rate of approximately 5.733 percent per annum. Proceeds were used to repay two existing loans on The Hub on Causeway that had a combined outstanding principal balance of about $490 million.
