Law Firms Expand Leases at Trade Center West

BOSTON-In a move that demonstrates the fundamental strength of the Downtown real estate market here, two locally-based law firms have increased their leases at World Trade Center West. This ensures that the Downtown building is now 68% pre-leased.

According to Eileen Newman, spokesperson for Fidelity Capital, Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP will take an additional 58,000 sf for a total of 230,000 sf and Nutter, McClennen & Fish LLP will add 19,000 sf to its original lease for a total of 130,00 sf. Fidelity is developing the 525,000-sf building with Pembroke Real Estate, its Boston-based real estate arm, and the Drew Co.
