Equis Moves Office, Makes Key Hire

BOSTON-After 10 years in Greater Boston, UGL Equis Corp. is making moves—literally and figuratively—to better position itself as a player in the region’s competitive commercial real estate services arena. The firm has relocated its Boston office from One Financial Center to 101 Federal St., and has also hired veteran broker James Adams.

“Because of the fast-paced business environment in which we operate, it was necessary for us to find the right office space in order to remain competitive and to continue to provide a superior platform for our team to serve our clients,” explains SVP Robert Cleary.

The appointment of Adams came partly out of UGL Equis’ ongoing desire to strengthen its Boston group, says Cleary, but was also fomented by the availability of an industry professional with a 25-year track record in the Boston market. “It’s a rare occasion when you have the opportunity to get someone with Jim’s experience,” says Cleary, describing Adams as “a very bright guy” well-versed in assisting companies with their leasing needs, both individually and portfolio-wide. Adams has a lengthy history helping the legal community, having assisted such well-known Boston firms as Palmer & Dodge and Ropes & Gray.
