Boston Properties logoCommercial real estate play Boston Properties (BXP) first discussed here on June 11, 2009, at a price of $48.89, remains in an uptrend, and I obviously still like the business model at this stage.

Boston Properties is a commercial real estate survivor -- no modest achievement, given the nation's deep 2007-2009 economic downturn. Boston Properties' high-quality portfolio, combined with the fact that only about 7% of its leased space is set to expire by the end of 2011, limits the company's exposure to leases renewed at lower rates.

The share of commercial real estate play Boston Properties (BXP) first discussed here on June 11, 2009 at a price of $48.89, have meandered at/near $85 for the better part of three months, and now may be a good time to consider taking some profits with BXP, if you're in at/near $49.

Further, during that period BXP also probed the $90 level three times, but failed to remain above it -- a bearish sign, and another data point that suggests that extracting some stock gains at this juncture would be prudent.

That said, Boston Properties' business model is still favored here. Boston Properties is a commercial real estate sector survivor -- no modest achievement, given the nation's deep 2007-2009 economic downturn.

Boston Properties (BXP) logoI first discussed Boston Properties (BXP) here on June 11, 2009, at a price of $48.89, and the commercial real estate play is still laying the foundation for success.

Just put Boston Properties in the category of a commercial real estate survivor -- no modest achievement, given the nation's recent, deep economic downturn. Boston Properties' high-quality portfolio, combined with the fact that only about 14% to 15% of Boston Properties' leased space is set to expire by the end of 2011, limits its exposure to leases renewed at lower rates.

Boston Properties BXP logoCommercial real estate play Boston Properties (BXP), which I first discussed here on June 11, 2009, at a price of $48.89, is still making the grade. Here's why:

Boston Properties' high-quality portfolio, combined with the fact that only about 20% of BXP's leased space is set to expire by the end of 2011, limits BXP's exposure to leases renewed at lower rates. A rebound in rental rates is not expected in F2010, but given cost-cutting, including the suspension of an office tower project on Manhattan's West Side, cash flow should be more than adequate.

If you're going to tread into a commercial real estate play, tread carefully, and Boston Properties (BXP), first written about here on June 11, 2009 at a price of $48.89, is a company I still like, for the following reasons.

First, Boston Properties' high-quality portfolio, combined with the fact that only about 20% of BXP's leased space is set to expire by the end of 2011, limits BXP's exposure to leases renewed at lower rates. A rebound in rental rates is not expected in F2010, but given cost cutting, including the suspension of an office tower project on Manhattan's West Side, BXP's cash flow should be more than adequate.

As expected, Boston Properties (BXP) is faring well amid challenging commercial real estate conditions, which a major reason I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for the company's shares, first recommended on June 11, 2009 at a price of $48.89. If you bought BXP in June, you're up an impressive 41%.

Boston Properties is performing admirably, despite the commercial real estate market's woes and above-average vacancy rates.

Hence, I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for Boston Properties (NYSE: BXP), first recommended on June 11, 2009 at a price of $48.89. If you bought BXP then, you're up about 28%.

Given the worst commercial conditions in more than 20 years, commercial real estate and retail plays are best avoided, but there are exceptions, and Boston Properties (NYSE: BXP) is one.

In general, most analysts expect downward momentum on rents to continue though at least early F2010, due to job losses in key urban markets.

BXP logoBoston Properties (NYSE: BXP - option chain) stock is falling today after the company announced an offering of 15 million common shares priced at $50 per share. This action will probably place a ceiling on this stock around $50 for the short-term. If you think this stock won't be rising too far in the coming months, then it could be a good time to look at a bearish hedged play on BXP.

This morning, BXP opened at $50.64. So far today the stock has hit a low of $49.80 and a high of $51.22. As of 12:30, BXP is trading at $50.92, down $2.09 (-3.9%). The chart for BXP looks neutral and S&P gives BXP a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking.
