3625-3635 Peterson Way contributed approximately $2.4 million of revenue and approximately $6,000 of earnings to the Company for the period from April 22, 2016 through September 30, 2016.
Dispositions
On February 1, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its 415 Main Street property located in Cambridge, Massachusetts to the tenant for a gross sale price of approximately $105.4 million. Net cash proceeds totaled approximately $104.9 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate totaling approximately $60.8 million for Boston Properties, Inc. and approximately $63.0 million for Boston Properties Limited Partnership. As part of its lease signed on July 14, 2004, the tenant was granted a fixed-price option to purchase the building at the beginning of the 11th lease year, which option was exercised by the tenant on October 22, 2014. 415 Main Street is an office property with approximately 231,000 net rentable square feet. 415 Main Street contributed approximately $1.2 million of net income to the Company for the period from January 1, 2016 through January 31, 2016 and contributed approximately $(35,000) and $6.2 million of net income (loss) to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
On August 16, 2016, the Company completed the sale of a parcel of land within its Broad Run Business Park property located in Loudoun County, Virginia for a gross sale price of approximately $18.0 million. Net cash proceeds totaled approximately $17.9 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate totaling approximately $13.0 million.
On September 27, 2016, the Company executed a letter of intent for the sale of the remaining parcel of land at its Washingtonian North property located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The letter of intent caused the Company to reevaluate its strategy for the land and, based on a shorter than expected hold period, the Company reduced the carrying value of the land to the estimated net sales price and recognized an impairment loss of approximately $1.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

On May 27, 2016, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 601 Massachusetts Avenue, a Class A office project with approximately 479,000 net rentable square feet located in Washington, DC.
On May 27, 2016, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 804 Carnegie Center, a Class A office project with approximately 130,000 net rentable square feet located in Princeton, New Jersey.
On June 24, 2016, the Company completed and fully placed in-service 10 CityPoint, a Class A office project with approximately 241,000 net rentable square feet located in Waltham, Massachusetts.
On August 19, 2016, the consolidated entity in which the Company has a 55% interest and that owns 601 Lexington Avenue located in New York City commenced the redevelopment of the six-story low-rise office and retail building component of the complex. The redeveloped portion of the low-rise building will contain approximately 195,000 net rentable square feet of Class A office space and approximately 25,000 net rentable square feet of retail space. The Company will capitalize incremental costs during the redevelopment. Boston Properties, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership recognized approximately $50.8 million and $47.6 million, respectively, of depreciation expense associated with the acceleration of depreciation on the assets being removed from service and demolished as part of the redevelopment of the property. Approximately $21.4 million of those amounts was allocated to the outside partners and is included within Noncontrolling Interests in Property Partnerships in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On September 16, 2016, the Company partially placed in-service 888 Boylston Street, a Class A office project with approximately 425,000 net rentable square feet located in Boston, Massachusetts.
Lease Terminations
On February 3, 2016, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with a tenant for an approximately 85,000 square foot lease at its 250 West 55th Street property located in New York City. The lease was scheduled to expire on February 28, 2035. In consideration for the termination of the lease, the tenant paid the Company approximately $45.0 million, which was recognized as termination income and is included in Base Rent in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
