BOSTON— Newmark announced the recent completion of seven leases totaling more than 30,000 square feet at 211 Congress Street in Boston’s Financial District.
Newmark Senior Managing Directors Jason Cameron and Jim Brady and Associate Liam O’Connor serve as exclusive leasing advisors for the property, representing the asset owner, an affiliate of New York-based Drucker Associates (“Drucker”), in the transactions.
The asset is managed by Deb Werth of Lincoln Property Company.
“We are thrilled to have leased more than 30,000 square feet over the past 12 months to such quality tenants,” said Cameron. “This strong leasing momentum demonstrates Drucker’s enthusiasm and ability to make the investments necessary to complete deals in the current leasing environment and speaks to the building’s great location and amenities—factors that resonate with the tenant base in today’s market.”
“We are honored to have been selected by such quality companies to provide their Boston office needs. This validates our commitment to continuously invest in prime assets and to partner with great local management companies and leasing teams. We would like to thank all those in the brokerage community who have helped us in the lease-up effort,” said Harvey Drucker of Drucker Associates.
