Management reviews its long-lived assets for indicators of impairment following the end of each quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation of long-lived assets is dependent on a number of factors, including when there is an event or adverse change in the operating performance of the long-lived asset or a current expectation that, it is more likely than not, that a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life or hold period. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding anticipated hold periods, future occupancy, future rental rates, future capital requirements, discount rates and capitalization rates. Any or all of such assumptions could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Because cash flows on properties considered to be “long-lived assets to be held and used” are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset may be impaired, the Company’s established strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If the Company’s hold strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate a shorter hold, an impairment loss may be recognized, and such loss could be material. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. At March During the year ended December 31, 2024, 2025, in conjunction with the Company’s strategy to sell non-core assets, the Company evaluated the expected hold period properties approved by BXP’s Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) for a portion sale to third-parties, which resulted in recognized impairment losses of its Shady Grove property, consisting of 2 Choke Cherry Road, 2094 Gaither Road approximately $85.8 million and a land parcel, located in Rockville, Maryland. Based on a shorter-than-expected hold period, $82.9 million for BXP and BPLP, respectively (See Note 3). During the Company reduced the carrying value of a portion of the property that the Company anticipates selling to a third-party developer to its estimated fair value at March year ended December 31, 2024. As a result, each of 2024, BXP and BPLP recognized an impairment loss of approximately $13.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to Shady Grove - Parcel 1 (See Note 3). 17).
