Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) is pleased to announce that the firm has been appointed as the exclusive leasing agent for 262 Washington Street and 85 Devonshire Street, a 96,160-square-foot two-building complex in Boston. The property, owned and managed by KS Partners, is newly renovated with significant capital improvements.
Situated in downtown Boston’s Financial District, the complex is conveniently located within minutes of Boston Common, Rose Kennedy Greenway, Post Office Square and Downtown Crossing. It also offers easy access to public transportation and parking across the street at Pi Alley Garage. Built in 1908, the building complex was renovated in 2014 and features flexible floor plans with a newly renovated lobby, common areas, façade and base building improvements.
“We are thrilled to be working with KS Partners on these two interconnecting buildings,” said Jason Cameron, senior managing director in NGKF’s Boston office. “Having strong ownership and on-site management along with being conveniently located in an up-and-coming neighborhood, makes this an outstanding opportunity for area businesses, particularly for the many tech firms we’re observing moving to the downtown crossing area.”
Cameron will lead the brokerage team along with Ellen Fantini Cullinan, also a senior managing director in NGKF’s Boston office. The property is currently 85% leased and is home to high-quality tenants including Commonwealth Resources, Autism Speaks, and Albert, Righter & Tittman.
