Law Firm Takes 400,000 SF at Prudential Tower

BOSTON-Ropes & Gray's decision to relocate its One International Place offices to the Prudential Tower in three years will further tighten the Back Bay's office market.

By Beverly Ford | Updated on February 23, 2007

BOSTON-The Back Bay’s already tight office market will get even tighter in 2010 when Ropes & Gray moves into 400,000 sf at the Prudential Tower. The law firm has signed a letter of intent to take the space.

“This is further validation of the Back Bay market,” Bill Motley, with Jones Lang LaSalle’s Boston office, tells GlobeSt.com. He notes that the lease will strengthen the office market and drive up rents throughout the neighborhood.

David Begelfer, head of the Boston chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties, tells GlobeSt.com that the arrangement also should prove to be an opportunity for One International Place, which will lose one of its largest tenants when the law firm vacates its current 380,000-sf offices. Ropes & Gray has been a tenant in that building since 1989.
