Boston- A.W. Perry announced a new lease, as well as long-term tenant lease renewals and expansions totaling more than 15,000 SF at 420 Boylston Street in the heart of the Back Bay neighborhood in Boston.
A.W. Perry welcomed local law firm, Butters & Brazilian LLP as its newest tenant to 420 Boylston. The firm relocated from another location in the Back Bay to 420 Boylston, occupying 3,928 SF on the 4th floor in the fall of 2023. The team quickly expanded into an additional 545 SF within the first five months of their tenancy.
“Amidst a big office move and finding a space in the Back Bay that met our specific needs, our team was ready to settle on something temporary due to time constraints,” said John Brazilian, founding partner at Butters & Brazilian. “When we met with the A.W. Perry team about our situation, they devised a solution to expand and renovate a custom office space for us. They not only met our specific office requirements but were able to accommodate our entire team immediately so we could be in the space sooner. The A.W. Perry team and their general contractor Coffey Design + Build, made this a seamless experience and delivered on a modern office set-up within this iconic historic building. We couldn’t be happier to have the support and guidance of a family-owned business – it truly made the difference.”
A.W. Perry also recognizes the significance of long-term tenants that have continued to renew at 420 Boylston. “Many of our tenants have experienced changing office needs over the years and we take pride in working with each one to ‘right-size’ or to reconfigure their office space to meet their specific requirements,” said Kerri Gallaway Executive Vice President Property Management at A.W. Perry. “Long-term relationships have always been a top priority in the 140-year history of the company, and we are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work with so many great tenants.”
- Mass Capital Resources has been a tenant at 420 Boylston for more than 35 years and on their most recent lease renewal, they worked with A.W. Perry on a complete gut rehab of their long-time office on the 5th floor. The renovation modernized the office within the historic context of 420 Boylston and met the firm’s changing needs and office requirements. “A.W. Perry goes beyond providing a high-caliber business environment, said Mass Capital Resources President Suzanne Dwyer. “They have been a true partner working with us to create flexible solutions to our changing office needs. It has been a pleasure working with the entire A.W. Perry team for the past 35 years.”
- “Plan-It Marketing has been a tenant at 420 Boylston for more than 25 years which is a testament to our long-term relationship with A.W. Perry,” said Plan-It Marketing President Cindy Tungate. “We’ve always found A.W. Perry to be professional, flexible, willing to listen and very responsive if we ever have a need. We enjoy the annual tenant appreciation functions, which are a great way to connect with the friendly A.W. Perry team as well as the other tenants in the building. We greatly appreciate the way A.W. Perry has beautifully maintained the building in keeping with its original historic architectural heritage.” Plan-It recently extended the lease for their office on the 4th floor at 420 Boylston.

Perry made it so easy and worked with us to make the adjustments we needed with extreme efficiency,” said Kara Weiss, Executive Director at CRI Foundation. “The building is clean, warm, quiet, has great natural light, and the management team couldn’t be more respectful, responsive and pleasant to work with.”
