A holder of an OP Unit may present the OP Unit to Boston Properties Limited Partnership for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, Boston Properties Limited Partnership must redeem the OP Unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of Common Stock of Boston Properties, Inc. Boston Properties, Inc. may, in its sole discretion, elect to assume and satisfy the redemption obligation by paying either cash or issuing one share of Common Stock. The value of the OP Units (not owned by Boston Properties, Inc. and LTIP Units (including the 2012 OPP Units, 2013 - 2017 MYLTIP Units) assuming that all conditions had been met for the conversion thereof) had all of such units been redeemed at June 30, 2020 was approximately $1.6 billion based on the last reported price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $90.38 per share on June 30, 2020. Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships The noncontrolling interests in property partnerships consist of the outside equity interests in ventures that are consolidated with the financial results of the Company because the Company exercises control over the entities that own the properties. The equity interests in these ventures that are not owned by the Company, totaling approximately $1.7 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are included in Noncontrolling Interests—Property Partnerships on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
