NGKF Capital Markets has successfully completed the sale of 101 Tremont in Downtown Boston, Massachusetts to GLL Real Estate Partners. The NGKF Capital Markets Boston team, led by U.S. Head of Capital Markets Robert Griffin, Vice Chairman Edward Maher and Executive Managing Director Matthew Pullen, oversaw the transaction of the fully-renovated asset on behalf of Paradigm Properties and Alcion Ventures.
An 11-story office and retail building, 101 Tremont recently underwent extensive base building and tenant improvements that successfully transformed the asset into a premier mixed-use property. Presently, 101 Tremont is 100 percent leased to three innovative healthcare firms complemented by on-site retailers Beantown Pub, Hollywood Nails, Silvertone and Ziggy’s Coffee Bar.
“Combining historic character with modern infrastructure, 101 Tremont represents an exceptional ‘creative core’ asset,” said Maher. “Additionally, the building boasts an unmatched location along Boston’s Freedom Trail just steps from the MBTA’s Park Street station.”
According to Kevin McCall, Paradigm’s CEO, “We and Alcion are very pleased with our team’s execution on this investment. The leasing and capital markets both responded very well to our vision of transforming an overlooked Class B office building in the rapidly-evolving Downtown Crossing neighborhood into the collaborative space sought by today’s tenants, and NGKF did a terrific job getting this opportunity in front of the right group of buyers.”
By virtue of its positioning within Downtown Boston’s “path of progress,” 101 Tremont is surrounded by both recently completed and highly anticipated new developments, including the Godfrey Hotel and Millennium Tower. The property is also located adjacent to the Boston Common, burgeoning Downtown Crossing neighborhood and prestigious MGH Medical Cluster. In addition to creating a vibrant “live-work-play” environment, this transit-oriented destination provides superior multi-modal accessibility.
