BOSTON-DTZ FHO Partners has been tapped by the First Church of Christ, Scientist to handle interim leasing of two office properties on the Christian Science Plaza, a sprawling multi-building complex located in Boston’s Back Bay. The assignment is being headed by the DTZ FHO Partners Asset Advisory Group which focuses on helping building owners enhance their holdings.

“It will be nice space,” church spokeswoman Debbi Lawrence tells GlobeSt.com. About 130,000 sf will be available at 177 Huntington Ave., a 26-story high-rise that features views of Fenway Park and other surrounding landmarks, while another 70,000 sf is being freed up at 103 Belvidere St. Employees in those buildings will relocate into the church’s recently refurbished Publishing House at 210 Massachusetts Ave. during the next 60 days. That property also is the home of the renowned Mary Baker Eddy Library, named in honor of the religious order’s founder.

DTZ FHO Partners principal J. Duncan Gratton and Lauria Brennan are overseeing the lease-up for the client. The effort to fill the two office buildings comes as the church prepares to meet with neighbors and the city of Boston on a long-range master plan for its 14-acre campus.
