Owen Thomas on Leading Voices in Real Estate

3/5/2025

Owen Thomas | Chairman & CEO, Boston Properties

Owen Thomas, Chairman and CEO of Boston Properties, discusses the state of back-to-office and outlines the threats and opportunities arising in the current market.

This is my second conversation on Leading Voices in Real Estate with Owen Thomas, Chairman and CEO of Boston Properties, the largest office REIT in the business. To get a big picture understanding of the office space, Owen’s perspective is critical. Especially in the rapidly shifting political climate, with DOGE updates creating continuous waves of change, it’s imperative that the real estate industry stay abreast of the threats and opportunities emerging in this new era.

This is the first installment on this office subject, as I look forward to visiting with Shannon Loew, Head of Worldwide Corporate Real Estate at Amazon in our next episode.

The health of the office sector, although just one of the real estate “food groups”, has outsized influence on the overall real estate market as well as the health of our downtowns. Owen’s evolution of thought, wise decision-making, and firm values during uncertain times, offer inspiring examples of leadership in action.
