ACTON, MA-Nagog Park, one of suburban Boston's more eclectic commercial addresses, is enjoying a late season surge. The master-planned development has secured 11 transactions exceeding 50,000 sf of space in eight office buildings controlled by KBS Realty.

The commitments feature a mix of first-time leases, expansions and renewals, headlined by a 12,000-sf renewal from Tatara Systems at 35 Nagog Park. KBS is welcoming software developer Peermeta Inc. for 7,000 sf at 43 Nagog Park, the same property where Tervela expanded their presence by nearly 6,000 sf. Liberty Mutual Group is also staying put, with the insurance giant taking more than 3,000 sf at 30 Nagog Park.

“We've had a nice flurry of activity,” relays Richards Barry Joyce & Partners VP Jamey Lipscomb, whose firm is exclusive leasing agent for the 387,000 sf controlled by KBS at the 11-building, 73-acre property. The landlord has been key in the solid performance at Nagog, according to Lipscomb, citing an approach accommodating prospects and making the upgrades necessary to compete in a market still awash in office and flex space. “They are making it easy to do deals,” he says. “Nagog Park garners a high level of attention because it allows for corporate growth, is easily accessible, and has proactive ownership,” adds RBJ principal Brian McKenzie, who was joined by Lipscomb and RBJ principal John Wilson in negotiating the leases for KBS.
