Combined Properties signs H&R Block to 2,140 s/f lease

H&R Block has renewed its 2,140 s/f lease at 157 Centre St. The tax services provider has been at this location, owned and managed by Combined Properties, since 2001. H&R Block is the world's largest tax services provider, having prepared more than 650 million tax returns since 1955. This Centre St. office is one of 12,000 locations throughout the country. "H&R Block has had long-term success here at this outstanding location in the heart of Malden's Central Business District," said Greg Regazzini, vice president and director of leasing for Combined Properties. "This is one of the most coveted retail properties in Malden, with direct frontage or Centre Street, adjacent to Super Stop and Shop and other national retailers, Bank of America and Radio Shack." The retail strip's end-cap suite is available and would be well-suited for a national food related tenant. Regazzini represented the landlord in this transaction.
