Boston, MA Eastern Real Estate has moved to One Marina Park Dr. in the Seaport District. Known across the industry for developing and revitalizing large-scale commercial properties, Eastern has invested in more than 150 projects over 15 million s/f and has completed projects in excess of $3 billion since its founding in 2000.

The firm’s recent highlights include the development of University Station in Westwood, Mass., a multi-phase 1.5 million s/f mixed-use project, the repositioning of the storied Taj Boston Hotel located across from the city’s historic Public Garden, and the development of a $150 million multi-generational, mixed-use portfolio in Las Vegas. The firm also replaced a 1.2 million s/f Palm Beach Mall, constructing a open-air 750,000 s/f retail center. 

Additionally, Eastern renovated the landmark Custom House in Portland, OR into a preeminent workspace, fully leased to WeWork.
