Synergy Investments and GreenOak recapitalize Ten Post Office Square - arranged by NGKF Capital Markets team

Boston, MA  NGKF Capital Markets completed the recapitalization of Ten Post Office Sq. in downtown. 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 recapitalization of the class B office asset with LaSalle Investment Management on behalf of Synergy Investments and GreenOak. 

Totaling 452,000 s/f within two towers, Ten Post Office Sq. represents one of downtown’s top-quality class B assets. The 14-story property is 94% leased to 40 tenants.

“Ideally positioned to draft off of downtown Boston’s high-performing class B office market, Ten Post Office Sq. boasts an outstanding rent growth story in recent years,” said Maher. “The property’s in-demand class B office space and commanding presence along Post Office Sq., the city’s go-to gathering place, combine to create a desirable destination for a variety of firms.” 

Ten Post Office Sq. features access to major regional highways and public transportation hubs. I-90 (Mass. Pike) and I-93 are close, while South Station is a 10-minute walk away. Additionally, the property is surrounded by the city’s amenities.
