One Congress, Boston\u2019s newest trophy tower and the market\u2019s largest office project delivered this year, has opened with its 1 million square feet of Class A space fully preleased.<\/p>\n

Developed through a joint venture of Carr Properties<\/strong>, National Real Estate Advisors<\/strong> and The HYM Investment Group<\/strong>, the 43-story tower in downtown Boston is 600 feet tall with views of Boston Harbor and the North End.<\/p>\n

State Street Bank<\/strong> agreed in January 2019 to lease 510,000 square feet in the tower<\/a> followed by technology firm InterSystems<\/strong>, which will occupy 420,000 square feet of space. The two deals were the largest office leases in Boston within the last 20 years. Other tenants include Trillium Asset Management<\/strong> and law firms K&L Gates<\/strong> and Husch Blackwell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners<\/strong> and CBT Architects<\/strong>, the tower was built by John Moriarty & Associates<\/strong>. It\u2019s the only office tower over 1 million square feet certified as LEED Platinum in Boston, reflecting the developers\u2019 commitment to forward-thinking sustainability. Built for the post-COVID office environment, the building has MERV-15 filtration that captures 95 percent of particles and ensures four outdoor turns of air per hour.<\/p>\n

Developers said One Congress exemplified the flight-to-quality trend<\/a> seen in recent years as corporations seek newly built towers or those with substantial renovations and additional amenities.<\/p>\n

Oliver Carr, CEO of Washington, D.C.,-based Carr, which is also the property manager for One Congress, said in a prepared statement the building sets a new standard for the office sector thorough its exceptional design and focus on sustainability. One Congress is Carr\u2019s first development project in Boston. The firm acquired a 75 percent ownership stake<\/a> in the office development in July 2019. When it first invested in the project in May 2019, the company split ownership with National and brought HYM on as developer.<\/p>\n

Spotlight on amenities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tenants and visitors enter the building through a triple-height lobby which spans an entire city block in length. The lobby features a dedicated concierge service, collaborative workspaces and a coffee bar.<\/p>\n

One Congress is the only office tower in Boston to offer a full-floor amenity center and outdoor space totaling nearly 1 acre. Located on the building\u2019s 11th floor, the hospitality-style amenity spaces were curated by interior design firm Gachot Studios<\/strong>. Features include a 7,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art fitness center, customer lounges, cocktail bar, nearly 4,700 square feet of meeting and conference space along with a marketplace of food offerings curated by restaurateur Stephen Starr. The tower also has a 15,000-square-foot outdoor terrace with several open-air pavilions and an outdoor bar.<\/p>\n

The building has a 99-point Walk Score and is close to the Rose Kennedy Greenway and several MBTA stations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
