Virgin Money USA Inks 30,000-SF HQ Lease

WALTHAM, MA-One of suburban Boston’s most visible office buildings has landed a tenant with global cache, as Richard Branson’s Virgin Money USA firm has committed to 30,000 sf at 60 Hickory Dr. The six-story 60,000-sf building is owned by King Street Properties, a local development firm that recently completed an extensive overhaul after buying the 41-year-old asset a year earlier.

“We are delighted to have Virgin Money choose the revitalized 60 Hickory Dr. as its US corporate headquarters,” King Street Properties founder Thomas Ragno says in a release. Formerly known as CircleLending, Virgin Money USA is an international leader in private loans and mortgages, and Ragno says he believes the established firm’s presence will bolster his property’s status “as one of the iconic Route 128 landmarks.”
