Tishman Speyer Lands Law Firm Headquarters Deal In Boost For Skyscraper

Rubin Rudman

Rubin Rudman was mentioned in the CoStar News article “Tishman Speyer lands law firm headquarters deal in boost for Boston skyscraper,” which reports that the Boston-based law firm has signed a 15-year deal to relocate its headquarters to One Federal Street in downtown Boston. The firm will expand from about 43,000 square feet at 53 State St., its home for more than a decade, to nearly 58,000 square feet across three floors, with a move expected in early 2028.

The deal reflects a nationwide push by law firms toward premium office space. According to the article, expanding firms helped generate nearly 19 million square feet of deals last year, with about 40% of those leases being expansions, the highest share since 2020.

That demand has helped support Boston’s office market, which has netted about 900,000 square feet of leases in each of the past three quarters despite a downtown availability rate of about 18.5%. At One Federal Street alone, Tishman Speyer has secured about 350,000 square feet of leases since refinancing the tower a couple of years ago. Please note the full CoStar article is behind a pay wall.
