Miller of Lincoln Property brokers 8,668 s/f lease for Blue State Digital

The Boston office of Lincoln Property Company recently brokered an 8,668 s/f office lease to Blue State Digital, LLC (BSD) at 280 Summer St. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in Boston, New York, London and California, BSD is a leader in online fundraising, advocacy, social networking, and constituency development programs for nonprofit organizations, political candidates and causes, and corporations. BSD gained national recognition recently for the company's work on the Obama for America campaign, which utilized BSD's online fundraising, constituency-building, issue advocacy, and peer-to-peer online networking tools to mobilize over 3 million individual donors to contribute over $500 million online. Brendan Miller, an associate at Lincoln Property Co., represented the tenant in the transaction. The firm relocated from a 3,200 s/f office lease in 374 Congress St. The increase in office space absorbed by BSD demonstrates the company's plans to grow during a lagging economy. "Miller worked closely with BSD to understand our office space needs," said Jascha Franklin-Hodge, CTO and founding partner of BSD. "He helped us secure a space that not only accommodates our rapid growth, but gives us exactly the kind of office environment we sought for our staff and clients." "The Seaport District and Fort Point Channel offer an excellent atmosphere for creative tenants such as BSD to thrive and expand their business." said Miller. "280 Summer St. is an excellent fit for our client since it effectively addressed their office space needs in a location that suits them." Bryan Sparkes of Jones Lang LaSalle represented the sub-landlord, Razorfish, LLC, in the transaction. Built in 1900 and renovated in 1988, the 10-story building is located in the South Boston Waterfront District, a few blocks from South Station and the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The Boston office of Lincoln Property Company, a national commercial real estate company, provides brokerage, investment sales, property management, appraisal/valuation and development and project management services to a wide range of clients. In Massachusetts alone, Lincoln Property manages over 10 million s/f of commercial space and is responsible for leasing millions of s/f of space.
